Wow, the baked goods here are on point!!! We got a rice krispy treat and mixed berry scone. Both were fresh and deliciois. The krispy had wonderful chunks of gooey marshmallows and sprinkles to add some crunchy texture. The scone was SUPER moist and delicious with bites of whole berries and tasty sweet icing on top. Pretty wonderful desserts, seems like they get them fresh from a local bakery daily but didn't catch the name. Definitely way above average for airport food and the prices were great too - total was $6 for both desserts!!! read more

This may not be my favorite coffeeshop in Long Beach, but they do make my favorite cup of coffee in Long Beach. Just because I'm not big on hanging out in this coffeeshop doesn't mean it deserves any fewer stars - because as soon as you walk in and you smell those freshly roasted coffee beans, it's true freakin' love. Eons ago, back in my days of working at Buffalo, the perfect escape was a fresh cup of coffee from Polly's and a superb, 50% off, day-old chocolate croissant. ...in fact, things haven't changed much - that's still one of my favorite escapes. read more

When you open the door and walked into Polly's the whiff of air that breezes past your face smells fracking fantastic! See, Polly's is roasting their own beans and that is a smell that I love. The store reminds me of an old general store you'd have seen at the turn of the century. It's all medium colored wood, old signs, measuring tools, and bags and bags of beans. I'm always a little confused about the ordering process. Do I go to the counter and they make me a drink and then I go to the register, tell them what I ordered and pay? Or do I go to the register, order and pay, and they make me what I want? Usually this ends in me never getting served in proper order of arrival because some people get in line and others order in different places. But, I'm okay with that - I'm here to stop and smell the coffee beans after all. You can also buy the beans and take them home with you if you like to make your own brew at home. read more

What better way to start a long business day of traveling than with a chocolate marble muffin and a cinnamon Carmel latte? The only answer: at home and NOT traveling. However, if you have to travel why not splurge, right? The newly redesigned Long Beach Airport offers substantially better food choices, including Long Beach's own Polly's.

One day when we were down on 2nd street a colder and rainier day added a romantic touch to the Mr. taking me out on a coffee date. I like my coffee just like I like my men, hot, strong and sweet. I also like my coffee joints just like I like my men, local and independent. Polly's does it right. He could have taken me to any other coffee joint on the street but he knew I would much rather prefer Polly's. So if you are grabbing a cup of joe please try to avoid the big name coffee places and take a chance on supporting Polly's. Grab a cup and take a stroll, it is a perfect way to spend some time with the people you love. read more

The last time I was here they had a huge line of folks waiting for their planes but the two workers moved through the line pretty quickly. My soy mocha was pretty good but my pastry was better than I was expecting. I had this flat cinnamon swirl bread thing. I'm sure it has a scientific name... something like cinnamonitticus swirlvitu thingy. Who knew Yelpers were so smart? Other times I've been here waiting for a flight the service has been slower than dirt so it's very hit or miss. I've also been underwhelmed by the baked goods on occasion. I'm hoping my last stop here is the way of the future and they're stepping up their game. Meh. read more

Polly's coffee is the best quality in the city. You just can't beat the fresh roast. Every single cup I've ever had was delicious without fail. I'm really glad this place still does ok considering the mass competition of chain coffee joints on this street. If you're at Starbuck's or Coffee Bean on 2nd, do yourself a favor and move down the street a bit and get some quality. I'm knocking off a 1/2 star only because there's not much in the way of cozy seating, just a couple chairs and a bunch of outdoor seats, but on these chilly Spring mornings, the last thing i want to do is shiver while I try to enjoy my cup o' joe. read more

Update: after 6 months of not coming in, my usual barista STILL knew my order! Polly's rocks! ______________________________________________________ I started frequenting this place when I finally realized it was the coffee roasting that I smelled every day on my way to work. What a difference fresh roasting your beans makes! The staff there is super nice and polite- they even know my bean order before I make it! The fact that they have a frequent buyers reward program doesn't hurt either. They also have a great selection of coffee makers and accessories, like the burr grinder I bought (which came with a free pound of beans!), and those awesome bodum borosilicate glasses that keep your coffee hot and your hands cool. Something else that's cool: supporting a local business! Highly recommended read more

They have good coffee. For a good price. It's also the only cafe that has free wi-fi on 2nd, which meant a lot to me when I used to walk down there to write my thesis. I half lived on their patio at that time with a cup of iced coffee. I've purchased their ground coffee. They are knowledgeable and helped me out a lot. The mugs they hung are the cutest ever, too. Great for gifts. They even give you a gift receipt. First it might look like they don't have a bathroom, but they do. It's all the way in the back. read more

I have been overlooking this place for a long time, and I have missed out. Because there are so many other coffee joints, I have always been meeting my friends at Pete's or Its a Grind, occasionally one friend drags me to Starbucks because she likes their Scalded McLatte. I went to a local bicycle organizations meeting and finally tried Polly's coffee. Terrific! My muffin was good also. Another yelper complained that the bikers were too loud. I hope this was those old guys who ride motorcycles and try to act cool. If we were too noisy shouting and laughing, I apologize on behalf of the bicyclers. That outside patio is so close to noisy second street, we might have gotten loud. read more

I am trying to make for of an effort to come here rather than the other big bad corporate entities on 2nd St. Not only is the coffee not that bad, but they have a delicious pastry section in which the peanut butter cookie is one of our favorites.

Polly's should be killing it like no other coffee shop in Belmont Shore. Great coffee. Roasted in-house (no one else does it). Homegrown rep. Nice and helpful staff. Great ambassador owner, an icon in East Long Beach. It's own parking lot(!). It's own outdoor patio (!). And I guess they are doing well. And I'm happy. But they should reconfigure their space. Have the retail counter way farther to the back, facing 2nd St. And have lots of comfortable indoor seating, instead of the 6-10 butt-parking-spots they have now. You know, like a regular successful modern coffee shop. And I say go ahead and slap on an extra 25¢ onto each beverage and product sold, and keep that margin forever for your inconvenience as it affects your production (coffee roasting, packing, etc., as that appears to be what is going on in that real estate right now). Polly's should be the start and end of the conversation when it comes to coffee in Belmont Shore, like Legend's is for sports bars. Let Starbucks and Peet's be second-place alternatives like the other "sports bars" on 2nd are. read more

The employees were also friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What really stood out to me was the flavor! The drinks are rich, flavorful, and really well-balanced. It's not bitter, overly sweet, or too plain. Everything we tried tasted consistent and intentional. The prices are a little on the higher side, but based on the quality, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the matcha, or even to just try something new on the menu!

Though we showed up past 11 on a Sunday we were seated in about 10-15 minutes from putting our names in and sat happily at the bar. Ordered a shared Breakfast Slider order and some waters. I was super tempted to try the Carrot Pancakes but after the sliders came out I was feeling like it might've been too much so I opted for a single buckwheat pancake with berries and it was absolutely perfect! The texture of the pancake itself was divine as it soaked up any bit of warm and fresh maple syrup while still maintaining surprising integrity and no sign of sog in sight! My partner enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes with no complaints and a particular taking to the thick cut bacon! 8.5/10 the only reasons for docking points was parking and the mocha muchaco being a little too milk forward. I might order with an extra shot of espresso next time but i'll definitely be returning!

The drinks are consistent and ive had several matchas so far. Id say the matchas are more on the watery side (i dont mean diluted, but the matcha is not that creamy). The following is my review of the matchas ive tried: 1) banana jackfruit matcha: jackfruit taste isnt strong and i wish it was a bit stronger. It was more fragrant than flavorful. however, i do enjoy the taste of banana and jackfruit together. Its very unique and i havent seen cafes with this flavor combo before 2) mot hai ba (pandan + coconut): my all time favorite. The cream top help makes the matcha thicker and all the flavors are balanced well 3) strawberry shortcake matcha: strawberry flavor is not that strong imo and most of the strawberry flavor i got was from the topping itself. I recommend this to people who wanna try matcha for the first time 4) lychee matcha: initial taste threw me off, but its refreshing and it grew on me the more i drank it. However, i personally wouldnt get this again The only qualm i have with this place is that there hasnt been any air conditioning in the store during the two weeks ive visited. IT IS STUFFY AND HOT. i sweat so much whenever i come visit. fortunately, the drinks come out super fast. The lack of ventilation is not stopping me from coming back tho

My friend and I ordered up front and got to pick our own table. Most of it is self-serve aside from the food, so there was a water station and area to grab extra napkins and utensils as needed.

I stopped in for a coffee and a side of bacon, and my total was almost $20. For such a simple order, that's hard to justify. I understand food costs have increased, but the pricing feels excessive compared to other local restaurants that serve quality food at much more reasonable prices. My biggest concern, however, is the impact the business has had on our neighborhood. Since Zuzu's Petals opened, we've noticed a significant increase in litter, much of it appearing to be food and drink packaging from the restaurant. Weekend traffic on the sidewalks has become overwhelming, customers often park in alleyways or in unsafe locations, and it has made our neighborhood much more difficult to navigate. We brought these concerns to an employee, but were told there wasn't much they could do. If this business truly wants to be part of the community, I hope they take more responsibility for the impact they're having on the surrounding neighborhood. Encouraging customers to park responsibly, helping keep the area clean, and offering more reasonably priced menu options would go a long way toward building goodwill with the people who actually live here. I always want local businesses to succeed, but right now I can't recommend Zuzu's Petals based on both my experience and the ongoing issues it's created for nearby residents. Also beach cleaning isn't cleaning our neighborhood. That's no support to our neighborhood. Maybe have a neighborhood clean up day instead.

Indulge your senses at this charming café where every sip of coffee is a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship. Stepping into the quaint ambiance, one is immediately greeted by the aroma of freshly roasted beans permeating the air. But what sets this establishment apart is its vintage roaster from the 1920s, a relic that not only adorns the space but also offers patrons a glimpse into the alchemy of coffee roasting. Engagement with the art of coffee is not limited to the brewing process alone; the owner and his team, true connoisseurs in their craft, are always eager to share their passion with customers. From explaining the nuances of bean selection to the intricacies of roasting, they graciously invite patrons to partake in their knowledge, making each visit an educational journey as well as a culinary delight. While the coffee steals the show, the pastry selection deserves its own accolades. Though not crafted on-site, each delectable treat that graces the display case is a testament to quality and taste. Perhaps next time, inquiries into their origins will lead to well-deserved recognition for the bakers behind these tantalizing delights. Beyond the culinary pleasures, the café exudes warmth and hospitality, creating a genuine sense of community. It's more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it's a neighborhood haven where friendships are forged over shared appreciation for the finer things in life. In every sense, this café is a culinary oasis, beckoning all who enter to savor the flavors of tradition and camaraderie. read more

I've been a loyal customer for 2 years now and I just have to say this place has gone into the ground. I would blame the employees but, they don't own the business. I blame the owner. It's the owners job to take care of things when business isn't going well. During the summer the place is filled with flies. They're everywhere, including in the glass case where they hold the pastries. I've watched the owner just ignore his employees as they tell him that customers are offended by the pests. He just handed them a toy gun and went to talk outside for 3 hours. A month or so ago, a roach crawled up to my muffin and tried to eat it. I literally just threw it away and walked out. I've seen a dog shit in there and the employees had to clean it up. Where's the owner? No where to he found. There are also mice. They come from behind this couch that's up against the wall in the shop. I even looked and saw the hole they were coming in and out of. I bought a day old pastry from there not too long ago and saw that it had been nibbled into. The owner doesn't care for his customer base or his employees. It's a health hazard with a owner who could care less whether you get sick from his food or not. I'm surprised the health department hasn't come to shut this place down yet. Go to Starbucks. Go to aroma de roma right on the next block. Hell, go to 7/11. Don't give this owner who doesn't care about your well being business. read more

Sheldrake has the best Chai Tea Latte in Long Beach. Every sip of their Chai is has perfectly balanced warmth and spice. The store itself is cozy and stylish - the type of space that invites you to sit down and stay awhile. Also, Sheldrake offers ample seating on their outdoor patio. The service at Sheldrake is truly top-notch. The staff is aways kind and attentive, they never make me feel rushed during the ordering process. They're extremely knowledgeable about their expansive coffee and tea selections and even allow you to bring your own to-go cups. One hot tip about Sheldrake - there's a parking lot right next door that has ample, free parking. You don't have to worry about hunting for a spot or feeding a meter, which makes the experience much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Sheldrake, it's one of the best and most convenient coffee shops in Long Beach. read more

I am a local here at Belmont Shore. I was so looking forward to have Polly's coffee for the first time this past weekend to support small business Saturday. My partner ordered Peppermint Latte and I had the Pumpkin Spice latte. I understand that I should not expect the same type of coffee in none-chained coffee store. However, I was deeply disappointed at how weak the Java was. It was a show of poor coffee craftsmanship. I am sure based on their other reviews' their other coffee might be better, but honestly, this was a case of huge disappointment for me. I may go back there again to try their plain coffee, but I would stay away from those two choices. They were plain awful. Cute decor and vibes though, if that is what you are looking for. read more

When you enter this fascinating establishment, the first thing that catches your attention is the intense aroma of coffee that permeates the atmosphere. This evocative smell conveys all the richness and culture of coffee. Here you can find a wide selection of coffees from different origins, each with its own unique flavour characteristics and fragrances. The best way to taste and enjoy these coffees is by drinking them in their pure state, without the addition of honey, syrups or artificial flavours that can mask the quality and authenticity of their original flavour. Without a doubt, this place is a true sanctuary of coffee culture. read more

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this place deserves it. The customer service was awful--the staff acted like they didn't want to be there, barely acknowledged me, and seemed annoyed when I asked a simple question about the menu. After waiting way too long for my drink, I took it outside to the patio, hoping to enjoy some fresh air. Big mistake. The tables were covered in crumbs, old cups were left sitting around, and the floor looked like it hadn't been swept in days. Even worse, there were flies everywhere. I don't understand how a business can be this careless about cleanliness and customer experience. Definitely not worth the visit. read more

I stumbled upon Sheldrake Coffee Roasters on 2nd Street a couple of months ago, and it quickly became my favorite spot in Long Beach. The building, an older structure, perfectly captures the essence of a true roasting company with an ambiance that complements their craft. The coffee is absolutely fabulous--rich, flavorful, and consistently good every time. The interior setting is just perfect for enjoying a quiet cup or having a lively chat. Don't forget to pick up some of their roasted peanuts, a unique treat that pairs wonderfully with any of their brews. A must-visit for coffee lovers and those in search of a charming local gem! read more

I give it 2 stars for the roasted coffee I buy but the "baristas" are horrible. They don't know how to dial in their grind so the shots are always watered down and the quality control on their microfoam is really bad. It depends on who is making the drink. I stick to the black coffee which isn't bad. It's way better when I brew it at home but I won't buy a latte or cappuccino. Also, the staff always seems short and rude! It seems they give more time to people they know really well and ignore everyone else even though I have bought over 30 lbs of coffee in last few months. read more

I just want to say the coffee here is great, the review is for the employees who packed my whole bean coffee. I've been buying my coffee here for the last 4 years. There is a male employee who wears a silver sleeve jacket that packed my columbia supremo today his nails were so filthy and long. He put his entire arm inside my coffee bag and used his hands to pour and pack the coffee beans right after using his smartphone. Nasty, I hope the owner reads this. Your employees should be wearing gloves and practicing better hygiene. read more

Stopped going to this place for some time now due to a rude staff and mediocre coffee. Decided to support local business during hard times only to find the rude staff from past experiences must have learned it from the owner who is the king of rude and should probably consider retiring.

For your safety please avoid this failing business and try something new and not riddled with health hazards. read more

*Note: TDLR at the end of the review…read more Hey Bub! - Bourbon Banana Butterscotch (Hot): 10/10 Honestly, I'm no coffee fanatic or expert, but I thoroughly enjoyed this cup of coffee. I was recommended to order a 12oz for the most balance and MAYYN was the barista on point. The espresso and syrup blend super well and has the perfect hint of sweetness. Don't expect a crazy strong banana flavor. I feel like people expect strong fruit flavors in their drinks all the time. If you like coffee that's on the sweeter side, this may not be for you. I like my coffee strong and this feels like a perfect medium for when I don't want to be wired but need a cool start to my day. Not Vietnamese coffee strong, but not latte light if that makes sense. Service: 10/10 Barista/cashier was very very pleasant and friendly! Not sure if he's the owner or not, but he felt super genuine, which is so refreshing. It just felt like he appreciated coffee and was looking to help me find what I was looking for. The other barista was cleaning and also felt knowledgeable as she was helping guests figure out what they were looking for. They bring your coffee out to you. Not sure if they will be able to if it's super busy. Ambiance: 10/10 This place is literally perfect. Yes, heavy glazing this coffee spot haha. So much natural lighting, which I think is amazing. It's so nice to sit along the windowsill and be able to work with a view of the outside. Wasn't super busy when I came (Tuesday 1pm). There's light chatter and music was great in terms of choice and volume. Didn't need to wear my headphones at all. There's outlets here and there, so if it's busy, you might not be able to nab one. Street parking only, but it was easy to find. TDLR: Great study spot or place to catch up with a friend! Very mellow chill vibes. Your average coffee shop pricing, but worth it. Staff are friendly, music on the calmer side, volume of music is great, street parking, lots of natural lighting, clean, and mostly stool seating. Nothing but positive feedback from me. Make sure to stop by! Had a lovely start to my afternoon and definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots.

I paired my first one with a mango bun and my second one with an almond croissant, both warmed up, of course, and both delicious. There's ample seating both inside and out, but obviously you know people bring their laptops and work from the café so I'm sure it will get packed on the weekends. Overall, can't wait to see more of what they do in this space!

I went on a whim with this because I'm such a Spanish latte girlypop. Ironicallly they're known for their Spanish latte, but I ordered the pistachio latte instead. We were feeling... experimental. And I'm so happy I did! I loved this coffee so much. I don't know what bean they use but it is amazing. It's so rich and smooth. The pistachio nut is nutty and more a background singer. Not overly sweet at all. It is definitely in one of my top coffees for sure. I definitely plan on coming back to this coffee shop for both the space and quality of coffee. Also I need to try the Spanish latte, duh. The only sad part was my friend ordered a blueberry donut & she said it tasted store bought and not good.
