    I'm a bit late in posting this, but I had to make sure I gave a shout out to Steelhead Coffee in Long Beach! I stopped by while working in the area with my pup . It was such a beautiful day and we saw this safe and had to stop. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful they even took the time to ask if it was my first time there. My coffee was delicious and the matcha was perfect. A huge plus is how much they love pups; they even had dog treats ready! If you're looking for a dog-friendly spot with great drinks and a welcoming vibe, this is it. Highly recommend for the great energy and top-tier menu items.

    This is a pretty cool little community of eateries made out of steel shipping containers, hense the name, "Steelhead." I had the Chai Latte which was enjoyable. It came out at the right temperature and I didn't wait for it very long. There were two people working, one person to take the order and the other who makes the drink. I would assume that this place gets really busy early in the morning, and the line gets long. There was only 1 person in front me around 9am.

    Apple Butter Latte

    Pretty good coffee spot over at the Steelcraft in Long Beach! The staff were very friendly and sweet! They're in a cute little booth at the front on the sidewalk facing the street. We got the Apple Butter Latte and the Cafe De Olla! Both were pretty solid and creamy. The Apple Butter Latte had a good balance too because sometimes the apple flavor throws me off or doesn't taste as good in drinks in my opinion.

    Dogulars

    Very chill location, cute pictures of baristas and the "dogulars". Loved the ambiance! I appreciate a coffee shop that has rotating seasonal flavors, but still makes their classics right. Their brown sugar (seasonal) was just okay in my opinion. The cold brew itself was pretty good, not too acidic like other places. As for the service, it wasn't great. The barista working exchanged a minimal amount of words with me, but found the person behind me interesting enough to talk the entire time. 3/5 because it was good enough to spend my money there once, but probably wouldn't come back.

    Iced Chai Latte

    This place always catches my eyes when I drive on Long Beach Blvd. so I was super excited to try it with my sister! The Iced Chai Latte was good! I didn't think it was too milky, and the chai flavor was great. The Iced Matcha Latte wasn't good. Judging by the color of it, you already know it will just taste like straight milk or milk with a pinch of matcha. This one tasted like only whole milk. To be fair, it is a coffee place, not a matcha place. My sister said she noticed our drinks were majority whole milk when the employee was making them. The coffee place is so cute! It's super eye catching when you drive on Long Beach Blvd. I would pass it all the time and think about trying it. There's a simple menu, cute merchandise, mugs, and coffee grounds. There's plenty of seating in SteelCraft, and there's tons of other food businesses. The employee was so sweet! She asked if I wanted cinnamon on my Iced Chai Latte, and she made sure if we wanted whole milk with our drinks. I would come here again though! It is called Steelhead Coffee so I do want to try an Iced Vanilla or Caramel Latte next time! Plus, there's plenty of seating and tons of fun foods in SteelCraft!

    Delicious coffee and great service. I'm stoked! I ordered an iced mocha (because peppermint mocha hasn't landed yet) and it's so decadent while still being refreshing and energizing. Nice and quick service, love that the window faces out front and I didn't have to stand in any lines or battle the crowds inside. Woo hoo!

    I ordered the iced matcha latte with oat milk and simple syrup (the barista said it does not come sweetened) but it was not good. It just tasted like watery milk.. i would not recommend it based on the taste and price of it. I did go back and ask if i could just get something else and the barista was super nice and understanding and even offered to remake it! I declined the offer for matcha remake and then got an iced vanilla chai and it was ok.. their chai is not bad it was just on the sweet side. My overall rating Matcha : 0/10 :/ Iced chai : 5/10

    This coffee stand is good, I ordered the orange blossom latte and the sticky bread croissant thing(?), which is kind of like a sweet croissant. The barista gave her recommendation for my drink, which was good, she was great! The drink itself was alittle more on the milky side; that is the only reason why I didn't give this place five stars. Just to make sure I was not tripping, I asked my friend what he thinks about this place without telling him my experience and the first thing he said was their drinks are a little too milky. Maybe they can improve that. This still craft location has shared seating outside, so you will not be able to sit inside. But it's perfect for hanging with friends or even going alone to get some outside studying in, free WiFi, options for food and a brewery.

    Iced vanilla latte and iced lavender latte
    Kellie F.

    Literally only popped in due to driving by. The baristas were so sweet and very welcoming. My go to at every new coffee spot to me is an iced vanilla latte. It was great and light. Perfect early morning beverage. My husband went with the lavender latte and it was equally great. Wouldn't be mad if they expanded further away from Long Beach for us IE people....

    A short walk from my old work place, this is a simple outdoor coffee stand serving the usual coffee and tea options, which are all taste great. There's also some easy free parking (along the street or in the adjacent lot). There's never a really long line and the service is quick, especially if you're in a rush. They also have a small selection of pastries but I usually just get my matcha latte. There's an enclosed outdoor seating area if you want to sit and enjoy your drink, while catching up with friends or coworkers.

    The workers were very kind to me! The matcha latte was very good (def recommend this over Starbucks) The brown sugar espresso is my new favorite drink. The place is very pleasing to look at! It's on the side of a sidewalk. They have many cute little nicknacks around the store to look at. I went during a weekday for lunch, it wasn't busy and they made the drinks very quick. I would come back here again!

    Bad coffee

    The coffee is 90% milk (tasteless) The matcha is 90% water A majority of it was tasteless for 23 dollars worth of beverages.

    Steel Craft Long Beach.
    Coffee Thursday ..

    There are three Steelhead Coffee locations in Long Beach, CA. We went to the one in SteelCraft! We visited the bungalow coffee shop that serves a fun experience and good coffee. SteelCraft, whether it's the one in Long Beach or Bellflower, is a great place to hang out, eat some food, or enjoy a cup of coffee. We went for the same drink. It was a rainy winter, and we both noticed their seasonal Peppermint Mocha, which we got hot and added oat milk. Because we both require a strong hint of coffee, we got our mocha lightly sweetened. The drink was nice and comforting. Definitely a drink that made sense for the rain. Luckily we got it lightly sweetened as the drink was still sweet from the peppermint syrup. The minty taste was certainly relaxing as well. This week we're doing a doughnut emoji! We wanted to highlight @thecaffeinatedkitchen and they may get their own review. Caffeinated Kitchen bakes vegan doughnuts and are distributed to different coffee shops around Southern California. We're not exaggerating when we say these are probably one of the best doughnuts we ever tried. They're also perfectly paired with every coffee we purchase. So if you see doughnuts and find out they're from Caffeinated Kitchen. GET IT IMMEDIATELY! Steelhead Coffee is definitely a fun place to explore as you're near a small plaza with different food options. So you can get yourself a coffee while exploring other spots. Steelhead Coffee has good flavor. However, we didn't see much of a signature option from the SteelCraft location. We were trying to find what makes the coffee shop unique, differentiating from different spots. Their biggest thing is probably the location. We will certainly try a different location to see if they spark something special that lets their customers experience Steelhead's uniqueness in coffee and not just entering a coffee place and buying coffee! Other than that, Steelhead Coffee is certainly worth exploring. The flavors are still there and their customer service was amazing. Let us know what you got from this place and what places we should explore next!

The downsides are that their seating area was closed, and apparently it has been closed for at least a year. It's disappointing that they really don't want you to sit and enjoy your drink, study etc., just grab your drink and go. I've gone to the Riverside location, as well, and there is no where to sit. Another disappointment is the larger drinks don't come with the signature Rad logo (skull) on the cups (at both locations I've been to), so it's not very distinctive from any other coffee shop.
