    This Starbucks is nestled on a corner across from the Long Beach City buildings. This is a busy location but the batistas are always nice and friendly. I had a Venti Shaken Ecpresso, with oatmilk, matcha foam delicious satisfying drink and they make it just right (not warm). I tried their new chocolate pistachio with pecan it was soft and i can really taste the pistachio, enjoyed it. I come here to chill, work on my music, read, and also drink their Trenta Green Tea. Nice vibe and this location is clean a good deal of seating not only inside but also outdoor.

    This store is in my hood and I love the employees and the manager. Very attentive, very professional and clean. Downtown is not an easy place to have a store. Lots of issues and challenges. This team is rock-star and they know what they are doing. Deployment, customer service, and again cleanliness are on point here. Well done!

    Can't believe I haven't written a review for my most frequented Starbucks! Been working in DT over 15 years and my coworkers and I have been here even before this Starbucks was built. This location has always been our go-to place because it's right around the corner for us plus it's the only one nearby that's clean and nice to go to! Over the years, there have been lots of changes on the baristas side but you can tell whoever manages this location has always tried their best to train their baristas and kept the place as clean as they could! I have to say throughout the years, of course there were few outliners, but all the baristas here have been absolutely wonderful and a joy to see and chat to every time. They also have someone writing on our drinks lately. Hope it continues and it's such a nice personal touch to light up someone's day. Thank you to everyone who works here you guys make all the difference!!!

    Food Drink and Service are great. Parking is a nightmare. Directly across from courthouse so that adds to the parking dilemma. Bring your walking legs, last time I was here parked 3 blocks away and time before abandon trip all together.

    I really like this Starbucks! Yea, coffee prices here as well as all the Starcrooks have gone through the roof, but this location has some special qualities you won't find elsewhere: At no other Starbucks Location in the United States will you find such a diverse and expansive clientele all coming together in one place. At this Starbucks you will sit and rub elbows with Police (Headquarters across the street), Firemen (Headquarters across the street), Homeless (Large homeless encampments at the Library and Civic Center down the block), Pilots and Flight Attendants (The Hilton a couple of blocks away is a popular spot for flight crews), Wealthy people who can afford the $3000 to $5000 a month rentals or 1 million dollar condos in the immediate area, great gay and lesbians folks (This area is the second largest gay residential area in LA next to West Hollywood), and of course Tourists like me. They have a large indoor sitting area, and a large covered outdoor patio. This is type of place I can just sit for hours outside on the patio sipping a Pikes Black and watch life go by. Such a great feel here. And if you get hungry--Panini is just down the block and KINGS Fish is 3 blocks down. Meter parking all over--free on Sunday in this area. (Watch signs--some streets you have to feed the meter all days.) Easy walk to the new Mark Bixby Pedestrian Bridge Path diagonally across from the Hilton (that's why I was at this Starbucks) or Long Beach Shoreline with a view of the Queen Mary. And to top it all off--the women who served me was the nicest person ever! Nothing can go wrong starting your day here!

    Food quality has really gone down. Everything tastes like it's a week old. also there are so many homeless people all over the place you can't even dine on the patio without having to deal with them. https://www.mashed.com/209071/you-should-never-get-breakfast-at-starbucks-heres-why/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1lkhO4rjvkgzX1Hd6rLxeB2JoCd3PvC8VN2vs3MeXfWmVigiewYUR93yI_aem_KNXLRFWMVRClRdZ2-r3Jtw

    Came in on February 26th for my first ever complimentary birthday drink!! The barista (Kich) was so kind and chatty! The location was great and clean with a great patio- would come again to work!

    I just don't like Starbucks, I guess! The coffee has no flavor, and the flavored coffees are artificial tasting. But no more!

    My girlfriend and I were looking for a caffeine boost to get us through Sunday when we stumbled…read moreupon Recreational Coffee in Downtown Long Beach. A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

    Visited this place on a Saturday morning. I popped in and popped out with an okay drink. I…read morepreviewed the menu and the Sonora town Horchata latte called my name. Ordered and it didn't take long at all to get it. Did they even add espresso? Who knows because the latte was weak. It barely had any hint of coffee. I asked if the latte was sweet and they said it wasn't. After the first sip I could just taste all sweetness no espresso. Recreational coffee do you guys add espresso to the lattes? Maybe I should have ordered something else not sure.

The lovely man working here, I do believe he might be the owner, pushed together three smaller tables together so my group of five would have somewhere to work.

The cafe has a very warm, cozy, old-fashion feel where you never want to leave. I can see why so many people come here just to sit and chat.

Plus they serve everything from bagels, croissants, sandwiches, desserts, etc. Place is spacious indoors. The staffers all were very nice and accommodating to the grandchildren. We ordered coffee and some sandwiches and very good! We truly appreciated the kindness of the staff and enjoyed the coffee/tea and food. We will definitely come here again on on our visit to Long Beach and recommend them to our family/friends. John, Thank you the reply! Please tell the staff who provided the banana to our grandson! She so sweet! We where there this morning 9:36am.

Let's start with service: the woman at the front was very dry, quiet, and uninterested. We tried asking her if we could add cold foam or sweet cream to our drinks to make them sweeter, and she said it was only available on seasonal drinks. As an avid matcha latte consumer, this made zero sense to me. While I don't blame her bc she likely had nothing to do with that decision, she wasn't kind in relaying that information or trying to help me find something on the menu I may like. Her demeanor remained the same when my friend ordered his drink, and we both felt a very negative energy coming from this woman, simply put it didn't seem like she wanted to be there taking our order. This was around 1pm last Saturday (the 21st of March), so they had a decent amount of customers, but it wasn't some crazy morning rush. Forward to the drink : we grabbed our drinks which came out promptly. I tasted my matcha and just as I suspected due to the lack of sweetness, it just tasted like grassy chalk. I assumed that my friends latte would be better, as matcha can tend to have an earthy taste to it to begin with. Then I tried his... chalky and sour. Due to the lack of customization and the barista's attitude, we just took a couple sips and tossed our drinks. It was a super negative experience for a place I really really wanted to like. I think allowing people to use sweetener and cold foam on more than just seasonal lattes would be a great first start, and perhaps training the staff on appropriate customer interaction would also help. Loved the branding on this spot, but it seems like the people who work there don't want to be there and it really put a damper on the experience, and for a place so cute, the drinks and vibes should be top notch.
