Inside has a lovely, jungle-y maximalist vibe with live plants all over the place and as its kinda half greenhouse, abundant natural light. My matcha was solid and my husband enjoyed his coffee. We were a little surprised that some of the hot foods were pre-packaged; per the staff prepared the night or day before and then brought in a warmed up; something like this? Not all breakfast items were available on the menu when we were there (in the morning) - a little confusing, as the staff implied it was based on timing of a delivery or preparation or something? Regardless, ample indoor and outdoor seating and within walking distance of some of the hotels around there.

I was staying at a hotel across the street for a few days and went looking for a good coffee shop…read moreon this side of town. I actually tried another nearby place first, only to discover it was closed for renovations--and I am SO glad it was, because otherwise I might never have found Long Black. I ended up coming here three times. No regrets. My first visit, I ordered the Biscoff cookie coffee and a spam, egg & cheese croissant. The coffee was delicious and, surprisingly, not overly sweet at all. You could still really taste the quality of the coffee underneath the flavor. And the spam, egg & cheese croissant? LIFE-CHANGING. Seriously. The next day I came back and tried their popular hazelnut Einspänner. I was not prepared for how thick the cream layer on top would be at first, but I let it sit for a bit while I drove to the office and allowed the cream to melt into the coffee a little. AMAZING. I love hazelnut, and this was so good. Naturally, I had to come back one more time before leaving and tried the banana cloud coffee. Again: fantastic. What impressed me most across all three drinks was the balance. Their flavored coffees aren't "sugar with some coffee." You taste the COFFEE first, then the rich cream and flavor, and then just enough sweetness. That's really hard to do well, and they absolutely nail it. I also tried an almond croissant, which was very good--and I say that as an almond-croissant heat-seeking missile who will find every great almond croissant within striking distance. They told me they bake their pastries in-house that morning, and you can tell. I eventually brought my sister with me, and she loved it too, including her regular croissant. Beyond the food and drinks, I loved watching the staff work. Everyone seemed genuinely dedicated to what they were doing and to the craft of making really good coffee. I came here because another coffee shop was closed. I came back twice because Long Black was THAT good. This will absolutely be my coffee stop anytime I'm on this side of town again.

Long Black has the option of online ordering but I decided to stop in to check out the ambiance. I found the interior much more spacious and welcoming than I'd expected seeing how weird the angle of the door to the cafe. We placed our orders and see several people already enjoying the space. The coffee and matcha are great. I see Long Black also joining the trend of offering season "Orange cream" type of a foam or note.... They took it up a notch by adding the essence of orange cream liqueur. I had to give it a try, and it wasn't bad, but the orange cream flavor didn't hold up the way I wanted. It dissolved pretty quickly, so by the end, it felt more like I was just drinking cold brew with a hint of orange. I should had stuck with my usual and favorite Biscoff Pannna Coffee!!

Seating is at a premium, so if you want to get a seat make sure you scope one out. Practically saying to him that it might be good to bring a wing man to pick up a table before you order. I got to say, the breakfast burrito is one of the tastiest ones I've had. You should definitely go check this place out. Bottom line? This was a great morning! Coffee experience has a definite mellow vibe to it and I think you would enjoy it.

It was really refreshing and not too sweet, which was perfect after the sauna. I also liked the tiny ice cubes because the drink didn't feel like it was mostly ice.
