    First visit, and I'm a fan! It's great to see more Filipino coffee representation in the coffee scene. The establishment is open and spacious inside. I was most interested in their specialty coffee offerings, so I ordered the following: Halo-Halo Latte - 5/5 Suman Latte - 4/5 Shaken Bibingka Latte - 5/5 Each drink was unique in its own way, and all were well executed without overpowering the coffee itself. The barista clearly put a lot of care into crafting the drinks, which made the tasting experience even more enjoyable. I'm looking forward to stopping by again the next time I'm in the area.

    I love that Teofilo is reppin the Filipino community in Long Beach with awesome Philippine Baraka coffee and Filipino treats. Great space to chill and enjoy a solid cup of joe. Staff were super friendly. Basic latte perfect, turon latte and ube latte....fire. Be back for more!

    Iced Turon Latte with Nutella Croissant
    Martha A.

    I really wanted to like this place but the drinks and pastries fell really short for me. I tried their turon latte and it was basically just a regular latte with a banana chip on top. It didn't really taste anything like banana. The flavored coffee they had out for a free taste test tasted better even without cream or sugar. I also had their Nutella croissant and it was a big portion and had lots of Nutella spread packed into it but it was just way too messy and overwhelming to eat. The vibe was also kinda weird because their space is huge but it was so quiet in there, it felt awkward to talk because everyone would hear your conversation. Pricing was a bit odd too because the prices on the menu are listed but when you look at your receipt, it breaks down what they charge you, down to the flavored syrup if I recall (which I would assume is already incorporated into the full price for a flavored latte?). I'm all for transparency but the way it was presented was just something different to me.

    As always, great coffee drinks and service. Ube Latte has become my favorite and frequent order! Great place! Large and spacious!

    From World Of Coffee San Diego 2026
    Pat F.

    This was our first visit to Teofilo Coffee since meeting the owner, roaster, and CEO, Ron Dizon, at San Diego's World of Coffee (WOC) 2026 event several months ago. In fact, this Long Beach location was either opening the very next day or the following week after we met him. At the WOC event, we purchased a few bags of their coffee (Barako & Fine Robusta) and loved them so much that we had to come back for more. Unfortunately, Ron wasn't there during our Saturday visit, according to the two female baristas working at the time. We picked up more bags of the same whole bean coffees and wish they were sold in 1-pound bags because we'll go through the 250-gram bags very quickly. Their pastries were well portioned overall, but unfortunately the pandesal was not. It looked more like a mini pandesal and wasn't what we're accustomed to in San Diego, both in size or value. The coffee shop itself was clean, spacious, inviting, and a great place to enjoy quality coffee, work remotely, or study. Parking was easy during our visit, though I could see it becoming challenging during peak hours. Their restroom was also clean and well maintained. We want to wish Ron and everyone at Teofilo Coffee the very best. Their coffee beans are delicious and make excellent espresso! If you're in the Long Beach, Torrance, or Lakewood area, definitely check them out!

    Cute indoor counter

    So excited to have more Filipino presence in the LB food scene! The space feels relatively new and you can tell they're still finding their footing, but we stopped by on Mother's Day unsure what the vibe was going to be. It looked like they may be setting up for a special event or small pop up inside, and we didn't stay long enough to see what it would be, but the service was quick and so efficient that we didn't need to wait long. The strawberry matcha with almond milk was DELICIOUS. Not too sweet, but still the perfect berry bev. Everything in the pastry counter looked delish but we were on our way to grab food so we didn't have the opportunity to try any. We'll definitely be back and wish them the best of luck!

    The shop is very intentional and beautiful, I love the openness of the coffee bar. Lots of great options for drinks on the menu. Bit of an odd spot but I kind of like that about it. The coffees are great. However, bibingka could use a little more of a nuttier profile. It's not too sweet which was probably my favorite part about it. NOTE: My friend was a fan of the pandan latte, just a bit sweet but with an adjustment with sweetness level it could be a favorite for anyone :)

    Delicious pastries from a local Filipino restaurant (Gemma) and a local Italian restaurant (Nonna's).

    Stopped to eat at a local cafe when I saw a sign that read, "Filipino Coffee" then I recognized the logo: Teofilo!!! I was happily surprised to find Teofilo on 2nd Street in Long Beach! This is a great location with ample parking space and friendly staff! Ordered a latte and some ube cookies. They have other pastries from a local Filipino bakery (Gemma) and a local Italian bakery (Nonna's), so I very much appreciate these collaborations! It's great place for CSULB, LBCC, or high school students to come by and study. Very spacious and lit up well! Make sure to check out their merch!

    The coffee I had was pretty good but didn't blow me away. It was smooth but it was supposed to be a salted caramel, which I couldn't really taste the flavor. It is a big place with a clean aesthetic. Staff were very friendly. The ube roll from Gemma bakery was the best part. They heated it up and it was so soft and fluffy, delicious

    The drinks and food were solid and great. I got a Milo ice coffee, 3 small cookies, and a garlic cream cheese bread for $20. The service was nice and fast and understanding. A very spacious and clean interior, with decent parking outside on a weekday. It is by a Main Street in Long Beach so complaining about parking does not go against this establishment. Will come again and I'm from the IE

    Very cute, bright, spacious and clean cut coffee places. It took over the bank and workout place and make it into a relax, chill vibe place for some Filipino coffee and pastries. It's also perfect place to work and do homework since they have a big seating area with big table to catering. Small menu but plenty to choose from, there are fresh pastries too. Service is great and friendly. Coffee is fantastic (I ordered 50/50 iced), pastry is n or and tasty. Will definitely come back for more since they just recently opens in the neighborhood.

    Nutella croissant
    James A.

    Where to start...I first learned about Teofilo coffee (and her founder/CEO Ron) through a sponsored event (need to be careful otherwise the AI will reject this review) a while back. That's where I learned about his passion to bring the history, knowledge, and product of foffee in the Philippines to the States, specifically the South Bay area (LA County). So my wife and I were excited to follow the progress of the opening of the second permanent location, this one on Naples Island in Long Beach. So on a sunny Tuesday LBC morning, my wife got her partial barkada together (with me tagging along) and made a visit (they open at 07:00 daily). There was plenty of parking in the shared Island Center surface lot. It's a pretty large space inside, so people can spread out and do some work without feeling bad that they are hogging space. It's a typical coffee house set-up, with the front counter being manned by two baristas. The friendly chief-exec was running his business in the dining area, so we stopped by to say 'Hi'. While my wife continued the conversation, I went ahead and ordered/paid. Both baristas were friendly and offered recommendations, which I gladly took. Got a iced Ube matcha latte ($6 + $1 for iced + $1 for added Ube). The taste of Ube is everywhere these days, but all of us agreed that it was a contender for top ube drink that we've ever had...mixing Ube with matcha really worked. And we got it with lactose free whole milk...a game changer...not sure why more businesses don't offer that option. The mango dream ($7 + $1 for iced) was much less successful, very sweet, a bit artificial tasting. Some of the pastries are from Gemma's (a business we love), and others baked fresh from a local bakery (didn't catch the name). The morning bun ($5) was very good, easily splitable like a cinnamon roll without the cinnamon. After that success, went back up to order a nutella filled giant croissant...so good, filled with so much melty nutella. If I had to do again, I would get another normal croissant, and dip it in the overflowing Nutella from the first one. Very shareable...but only if you want to! As mentioned, everyone was super friendly and helpful. The main four Filipino roasted coffees are offered as self-serve samples, leading you to the lesser known (but well worth) journey that is coffee from the Philippines. And as Ron said in response to a positive FB post from my mother-in-law, "Lola approved? That's when you know it's real...". Love it!

    Bottom Line Up Front: The Crema Cafe is a bakery and…read morerestaurant that will satisfy both your sweet tooth and savory craving -- so long as you don't mind paying a premium. The Food: In the past, I've come only for the dessert, but this review will focus on my most recent visit when my wife and I had brunch here. I ordered the quiche Lorraine, a classic variety that featured ham, cheese, and bacon. It was firm, hearty, and delicious. The wife thought it was a little dry, but then again I like hard boiled eggs and she prefers them runny, so I chalk it up to personal preference. My wife had the breakfast burrito, which was stuffed with all kinds of goodness, including egg, ham, bacon, and chorizo con papa. We both really liked it but thought it had just a hint of sausage. If it was more meaty, it would have been flawless. The Location: It's located on Main Street near the beach, so street parking is extremely limited. I came on a Tuesday morning and didn't have an issue, but lunchtime and weekends are insnae. Visit off peak hours to avoid the traffic jam or a long wait. The Setting: Crema is a medium sized establishment, with about half the space taken up by the bakery line. Fortunately, there's an outdoor seating area with about another 10 tables. Since we brought our dogs, we chose the latter option and enjoyed the shade provided by the umbrellas. Everything is clean and well organized. The Service: The customer service is great. The staff was all polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Price: This is really the only con: everything is 10% to 20% more expensive here. I call it the beach tax. Shops along any beach can implement it because people are willing to pay it in order to enjoy the amenities and location. The Conclusion: The Crema Cafe is one of our go-to restaurants for brunch and dessert any time we come to Seal Beach. It's not flawless, but we always leave happy.

Not a five-course meal. Then we waited OVER AN HOUR for finger sandwiches that tasted like cafeteria scraps. Most of the food was genuinely awful. The only remotely edible items were the tomato soup, cucumber/egg sandwich, and chicken quiche -- except the quiche wasn't even included and cost an extra $22, which is insane for a place already charging premium prices for mediocrity. The "egg sandwich" was basically stale yellow bread with microscopic traces of egg. And whoever decided HAM AND BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE belonged in a finger sandwich needs to be fired immediately. Even the table decor looked terrible. Every table had random mismatched pieces from different sets instead of a cohesive theme, so the whole place just felt cluttered, lazy, and disorganized. Nothing about this experience felt charming or intentional. I waited over an hour to eat garbage in a room that smelled like dust and neglect. Absolutely do not recommend. I wasn't paying, but the experience costed over $100 (including $60 from a groupon).
