I'm sad it took me this long to discover Solid Coffee Roasters! I've been to Cerritos for years and all the coffee shops are typically so small and packed and hard to find tables but it was not the case here. This unassuming coffee shop had an abundant amount of space and outlets. Perfect for catching up or working. I love their honey oat latte because it wasn't too sweet and the matcha latte definitely hit the spot too! The service was also amazing and definitely loved my time there. read more

Def a place to come to and you know it'll hit the spot. Staff are friendly and answer your questions. Ambiance is nice a quiet and you can study inside if needed. read more

After coming her a handful times over the last few years, thought it would be apt to provide a lovely review of Solid Coffee Roasters in Artesia. We stopped by on a chill Veteran's Day afternoon to grab some coffee beans and of course some coffee! Note - 5 star reviews for me is like getting 95+/100 in OChem so just cause somewhere gets 4 stars, doesn't mean they aren't great! Inside 4/5 Very clean and neat place with plenty of seating. I appreciate the simple design and open space where it doesn't look too open, but you aren't crowded either. My only qualm is that the seats aren't that comfortable and there aren't any outlets I could identify. Perhaps intentional? If so, great design management to keep the crowds moving in and out. Staff 5/5 Coming from LA which has a mixed bag of hipster snob to overly kind folk, I appreciate the authenticity of the staff that helped us today. In particular, we were in-between two drinks - Sea Salt Sycamore and Cloud Fire Brew - which the barista rattled off the ingredients with complimentary adjectives. However, what got me sold on the Sea Salt Sycamore was that the barista mentioned he was addicted to it for a year when it released! So ended up getting the Sycamore and my lady got the Cloud Fire. Very happy with our choices~ Coffee 4/5 As I mentioned above, I got the Sea Salt Sycamore and my lady got the Cloud Fire Brew. The Sycamore is a mixed latte, which if you are sensitive to sweetness I recommend going half sweet. I enjoyed the balance of the drink (probably because it wasn't too sweet) and the subtle maple + sea salt notes. The Cloud Fire Brew (cool name btw) tasted like ice cream! The wood fire salt + foam really makes a difference. Overall 4/5 TL;DR - Clean, neat interior; wish they had comfier chairs and some outlets - Great friendly staff that appear to enjoy their work (great IG content as well) - Recommend Sea Salt Sycamore (half sweet) and Cloud Fire Brew read more

Favorite coffee shop. Drinks are always good and they care about what they are serving their customers. I always get the honey oat latte and sometimes vanilla bean lattes. This is a nice place to come do work and sip your coffee. Sometimes seems like they get backed up on orders and forms a small line. Overall a great place to get some SOLID good coffee. They also closed the mini solid at steel craft in bellflower. read more

Probably the best, strongest coffee in the area; they also white label and roast for alot of the local coffee spots nearby so you might just be getting it from here and didn't know it. They have a small offering of pastries and merch if you are so inclined. There signature house is my goto when you need to get up and go! read more

I recent stopped by Solid coffee roaster to quickly grab a cup of coffee and work on some emails. The staff were extremely helpful when asking the difference between the style/choices of beverage. The area is small but feels like there no shortage of space. The outlets situation is solid as well. There a few different options there. The coffee was also great! On-site parking as well. read more

Let me start with a good impression of the place. Very clean, or was it because it was still early. The service was fast considering the barista was by himself. I ordered the dark chocolate mocha latte. It was a good blend of bitter-sweet! Yes, cuz i don't like my coffee sweet. My only concern... 1 cup is not enough for me. Will surely come back. read more

I tried Solid coffee one time only before I tried it again (not sure if that made any sense). The first time I came I felt a bit intimidated by the gentleman behind the register so I did not feel so comfortable. I am not sure if it was his aura or what haha but he didn't seem quite friendly to me. The smile seemed fake. I came back another time because I wanted to give it another chance. The lady behind the register was a lot nicer. She helped me decide on what to order and even asked me if I was ok with the whole milk or wanted a substitute. I ordered their iced latte and a vanilla latte for my husband. She was a bit slow to make it (I was the only order she had to make and it took awhile to make both our drinks) not sure if she was new. It was very good though! I loved their espresso. I even came back the next day to try their honey oat latte which was also good. The lady who worked the next day I came was nice enough to let me taste their oat milk prior to ordering it. Excellent customer service now! Next time I might try their teas. The place gets pretty crowded so sometimes there might not be a seat available for you. They also have small food selections and pastries. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

4/15/23 SCIRE!! Redeemed another bday perk at Solid Coffee Roasters! Hubby needed a pick me up as well & I wanted to try other drinks in their menu. I'm on a lavender kick (for a short time only) so I went with the Honey Lavender latte & his usual oat milk latte. Nadia took my order & she offered to adjust my drink as needed. It took a bit of time as there were only two of them & it was a sleepy Sunday afternoon yet the place had ppl sitting & hanging out, others waiting for their beverages. Tasted hubby's--superb! Mine was was really good although it did turn out a bit on the sweeter side (hello, honey, duh!) but Nadia was kind enough to adjust accordingly with an half shot of espresso & a splash of oat milk-then it's perfect. I'm loving it here! If only the seats were a little more comfortable-then again that would mean ppl will stay longer lol-a plus for us, maybe not for the shop (^+^) read more

I visited this place twice, the first time was a good experience, the second time was just ok. I'm giving it a 4 stars because the flavor of the strawberry matcha and sea salt sycamore was pretty good. So, where I'm knocking down points comes down to a few things. Service was ok. You can clearly tell they are understaffed and the guy who took my order (who was there on my second visit), didn't seem that warm or welcoming. I asked what the sea salt sycamore was, and he gave a really brief response that didn't seem all too enthusiastic. Maybe that's how he is or he's tired, but I just didn't think he was all that friendly and inviting. There was also no one behind us so he could've taken time to go over the menu since we're clearly first timers. However, I did let it go because of how fast our drinks came out and how they tasted. I'm a matcha girlie and I enjoyed the strawberry matcha, which had a decent matcha and subtle strawberry flavor. I also liked that the drink wasn't too sweet. So, the second time I went is where I knocked down the points. I had made an online order for 4 drinks, and ended up having to wait for almost 40 mins for it and it would've been longer if I hadn't gotten up to inquire about it. I had already been in the store and waiting a good amount of time. At the time, the same guy who took my order the first time I went there was training someone. A couple ladies with kids who came into the store after me had their orders taken and their drinks were made quickly, and I had wondered about my order since clearly, I had made the order way in advance. When I went up to the guy, he looked over at his other tablet for online orders and finally noticed my order had been sitting there. He appeared very nonchalant about not seeing it. He did apologize and I didn't make a fuss, but it just didn't sit right with me with how he didn't seem to be concerned about it (at least that's what it felt to me). He was likely distracted training the girl and completely forgot about the online orders. And when I got my order, the sea salt sycamore tasted the same as before, very good with a strong coffee flavor, but the banana latte was disappointing. It barely had any banana flavor as opposed to other places like Phin Smith. Overall, I think the service here could be a little better and so I hope with more staff, small but important details don't get overlooked. I actually would like to see this place grow as I support local businesses over places like Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Despite some of the mishaps, the vibe and location of this place is good. Plenty of parking and the place has a chill ambiance. I'd probably come back again just to check out the food, but hopefully the things I had issues with improve by then. read more

I gotta give props to the young lady with the cool piercings and tattoos! She always delivers in friendliness, hospitality, and service! The coffee and ambiance is usually on point. I went yesterday to get a coffee and my order was taken by the young tall guy with long hair, a cap, and eyeglasses. I made a mistake by not telling him I wanted ice on the side and not in the coffee when I was ordering (Baristas typically put soo much ice in lattes/cold brews that it waters down the coffee taste but that's neither here or there). In any case, the guy gave off an annoyed demeanor when I requested to get another cup of coffee with ice on the side. He did, in fact, help with my request at no charge but came at the cost of him exhibiting annoyance/bother and me feeling uncomfortable. I'm thinking, if my request is going to bother/annoy you, then just tell me "sorry I won't be able to accommodate your request or you'll have to pay for another cup of coffee." My request is that if the owner(s) can instruct and/or remind the young baristas about customer service and the value of maintaining friendliness/hospitality like the young lady I mentioned earlier. read more

This place is really cute! I ordered the honey oat latte before heading to the mall. This is my first time trying this place, I just googled something nearby and Solid Coffee Roasters came up. Cerritos is a cute city and I've been exploring it more, really enjoy the culture here & vibes. read more

A staple in Cerritos, been coming here for years. My fiance and I crave this place from time to time and our fave has always been the vanilla bean latte. This time, we tried something new. We tried the maple latte, and it was actually really good! Creamy, right amount of sweetness and bitterness. Love! This place is always clean. Plenty of tables and chairs. Lots of lighting to study or just relax and read a book. read more

Unfortunately, this was not a solid experience. We ordered a vanilla bean latte, matcha tropical, and a croissant (tipped 15%). The space is idyllic for remote work but perhaps due to staffing shortage (the cashier was also one of the two baristas) the wait was longer than typical coffee shops I've been to. But the most disappointing part was both the orders were not filled to the brim. Either lack of actual coffee/matcha or ice, which made it looked incomplete. The taste was okay. I guess that's the downside of having a bigger menu. It affects quality and customer service. read more

This shop is super cute & minimal. It had plenty of seating available. There are 2 bathrooms and both gender neutral. I got the matcha latte. I wanted the strawberry but sadly they were out of the syrup by then (about 4pm) so def would come earlier next time. The matcha is ceremonial so it was yummy. Could have used a bit more sweetener but honestly good nonetheless! read more

I'm going to lean on a 3 stars for this, only because for me there wasn't anything memorable about my experience here. In fact when Yelp asked if I "recommend this business" I had to go back through my notes to see if I even went. I do remember the girl behind the counter, she was sweet but it felt like conversation and customer service was forced. The coffee was just OK. I am very impartial about Solid. I'm sorry, I know it's kind of a local favorite - but for me it was nothing extravagant. I would go back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. read more

Iced Honey Oat Latte - so good! I normally don't finish my entire coffee but I did with this one. I like my coffee sweet but still be able to taste the roast. First time here, so I asked what is their customer's go-to flavor between the Honey Oat Latte versus the Honey Lavender Latte. The cashier stated the Honey Oat Latte and she was not wrong. Small coffee shop in a small plaza. Modern clean aesthetic: heavy on the wood, black and white colors. It was surprisingly quiet when I went and noticed people were there with their laptops so I'm guessing it's a good place to work or study. Solid is a solid choice! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stop by and try this place out. We did not get greeted upon entering to start. When I tried to order the "Breakfast Sando" with a well done egg no yolk the cashier said " I don't think we could do that" when I asked if it was a precooked sandwich she said "ummm yea I think so." I noticed my boyfriend's food comes out and nobody even cared to call it out. It sat on the counter a couple minutes before they noticed. Watered down expensive drinks. I don't understand the great reviews. I do understand being understaffed but it doesn't equal poor quality service. We paid $40, for two drinks, a lox bagel, and an almond croissant. read more

This is my second time here and I can't say I love or hate it. The barista was sweet and greeted me right away and offered a sample coffee bag! In my opinion, It's just a regular coffee shop. If you want something average n quick to go this is the place to go :) i got a matcha latte and it was very watered down. kind of disappointing. the pastry was very oily too :') wish i could say more positive things food wise but the inside is very simple and modern. the noise level is perfect for a place to study which i appreciate.

I have no regularly visited most of the coffee places in the surrounding Artesia, Cypress and Cerritos area. Now there is no shortage of options and plenty of solid choices, but it really boils down to what do you want. I'm nestled in the back of the shopping center, Solid Coffee Roasters is a wonderful coffee shop to visit if you're wanting short, simple and sweet choices. None of these crazy, complicated options you see at most chain stores. I was able to order an iced Americano fairly quickly and was extremely pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. This is definitely one of my favorite options in the area. The only downside here is the parking situation. When this parking lot is packed, it's really packed and every time I've come into the shopping center it is either feast or famine. Most of the people who regularly visit the shopping center really can't drive, so really be on the lookout for people going the wrong way and/or double parking. However, if you come early and not at a busy time you won't have a problem. read more
