    This place is so pretty I love the colors in here!!!! Oh how I wish I could buy up all the cups and…read morestickers and pins they have!! They have vegan friendly pastries, there are non dairy options!! The drinks are DELICIOUS and the service is great!! They are so patient and friendly, I feel like they really enjoy working there I hope I can come back again next time we are in town! Thank you for a pleasant time!!! The prices are so good, so are the prices!! It's great quality coffee and iced drinks!!! The ice lasted longer than the drink without melting! My mom was impressed which isn't easy to do, she loved her Rad berry drink! I got the lavanade and it was very good, nice and tart. Hey with the money you save after buying their yummy coffee, buy up their merch!!! It's also good quality and very creative!!!

    I've wanted to try Rad Coffee for the longest time, but the closest one has been Long Beach (not…read moreexactly close to me). Well if Long Beach doesn't come to you, you go to Long Beach! My better half and I are in our mid-life goth era so we made the trip to satisfy our horror cravings of the day. Rad Coffee is located off of Atlantic Ave & E 35th St. There's a parking lot in front and in back, so on the rare chance it's overcrowded you can find a spot (even on the street). Lots of clashing chaotic colors inside! You order at the counter and pick up your drinks on the side counter next to the bathroom (which is closed). Also closed is a sizeable covered patio, which is a shame since it'd be nice to chill there and not just get it to go. Maybe it's another covid casualty, or maybe it's more about lack of employees to keep an eye out (there was only one during our visit). The menu has lots of specialties in addition to your usual coffee fare. We were adventurous so my wife got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch while I had the Peanut Butter Crunch. Yeah, their house creations have cereal and coffee Frankensteins so it was an interesting choice (both are super sweet). Overall we'd stop by again when we're in the area. I dug their pinball machines while you wait. They also have plenty of merch for sale (shirts, shorts, stickers, mugs, etc.). If you're on the health-conscious side, they also have a hearty selection of vegan friendly treats.

    I've been stopping by Tierra Mia Coffee since they opened ages ago, but I moved away from their…read morelocation a few years back. Just yesterday, while taking my kiddo for a drive, I realized there's a spot nearby where I now live! I'm obsessed with their horchata frappe--has it gotten even better over the past 20 years? I swear it has. Their tres leches muffin is also absolutely delicious and worth grabbing if they have it--but go early because they tend to sell out by the end of the day, proof of just how good it is. The drive-thru line can get pretty long, but it moves pretty quickly. You can also park and walk inside; the place is spotless and cozy. I could see myself sitting there, catching up on some work while enjoying my coffee. Tierra Mia is a hidden gem--if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out and definitely should!

    I need to not cheat on my PCH Tierra Mia…read more I never go anywhere else except the PCH one. Guess what I did? Visit the one on Carson st. Horrible idea. Short drive through, extends onto Carson st. The wait time was maybe 30 minutes. They were slammed for sure. I ordered my usual horchata matcha. First sip. Milk. Shake, shake, shake. Another sip. Milk with a taste of matcha. It was NOT my horchata matcha that I always get. I was extremely saddened by this. I threw away the drink. I'm going to stick to my pch girl from now on. If I was pregnant I would be throwing the biggest fit. I still did, but imagine. Ugh my craving was not satisfied. If you want to sit inside good luck, that parking lot has like 4 spots and I'm sure the employees use them. Otherwise street parking will be your only option. They have an updated menu with flan & banana items at the time I went 05/22/26. It's attached in my photos to view.

    Ehhh, very overrated boba shop, imo. Picked up on this place due to some social media posts I got…read moreshown by friends, but the jelly they show on top of the drinks is actually just a topping that ends up in the drink. It's...ok? I've tried a few of their drinks, but I don't find the tea tasting special at all. The jelly are fine, but also nothing particularly stand out. My first visit I waited like 20mins near closing, which is waaaay better than the hour it was beforehand. And on a recent visit there was essentially no wait. I'm not sure I'd come back as I have other boba shops I much prefer nearby me.

    Hechalou ceased to exist at this location. I suspect that owners broke away from the franchise and…read morestarted their own boba business at the same location. They changed the name subtle enough to avoid a lawsuit, but the changes in the menu and the quality of the drinks are far more drastic, and it's not for the better. Gone are the traditional teas and sesame jelly that made Hechalou so famous. These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar. The drinks are excessively sweet, a mortal sin by Asian standard, and they have a generic taste that might as well have one item on the entire menu. Alas, to get a sip of the old favorites, now I have to drive across town instead of stop by after work. I am glad that I got my many trips here before the old guards died, and it's probably better for my hemoglobin A1c in the long run.

The savory one was good as well. I think it would have been better if it was still warm hehhe The latte & chai were good. Sometimes, a simple latte is so much better than the ones with all the cream top. Service was AMAZInG!!! He was so nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations. He was so patient.

There was so much construction going on and parking was terrible but I managed to find some in the residential area. There is outdoor seating and very limited indoor seating. The place itself is super cute and I really want to go back already. I love their decor. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the baristas. The gentleman that helped us at the cashier was extremely friendly, his smile, his attitude and mannerisms were beyond friendly and professional. I have to give him his kudos, because a lot of businesses don't have employees like this anymore. We were not ready, so we let someone go ahead of us. There was so much to order, but I decided to just get two drinks and the jalapeño cheese croissant. I have to say the jalapeño cheese croissant is my favorite. The bread was so warm, flaky, and that cheese and jalapeño were just enough. They did not skimp out on this. Our drinks were SOOOO GREAT! I got the honey vanilla oat latte with the banana cold foam. Yes the cashier guy helped me and I absolutely love all his suggestions. He also suggested the cheddar jalapeño croissant. My daughter got a chai tea latte and we LOVED our drinks. I must come back very soon. I regret not buying some of the treats like the rose cookies and fruity pebble rice crispies that I saw on display. While we were waiting for our drinks outside, the cashier came out to bring us our croissant. I also noticed the trolley outside, which I read serves chili in a bowl on certain days. All around, this place gets five stars + and I can't wait to be back!

    Sala Coffee & Wine Bar in Long Beach is so cute, like dangerously cute. I came for a book club…read moreevent and only got a coffee this time, which feels very responsible of me, but also... I already know I need to come back for food and wine. Obviously. The vibe was cozy, the staff was super friendly, and it just felt like the kind of place where you bring a book, romanticize your life, and accidentally stay way longer than planned. Coffee, wine, books, cute little atmosphere? Honestly, they knew exactly what they were doing. Five stars. I will be returning, probably with a book and my friend

    Hmm, going over the other one star reviews, I can notice a common theme…read more Really weird experience here. First it's 7:30pm, planned on ordering a matcha and the person at the register informed me that there was "No coffee or tea after 4pm" so I choose to order a non alcoholic beverage and maybe something to eat and cashier or owner, whoever this person was tells me if I plan to work because it becomes a "laptop free zone" after 4pm. Odd behavior to tell someone what they can and can't do at an establishment considering it's called a coffee AND wine bar. Maybe this is something to advertise on your yelp and website but a "laptop free zone" after 4pm is pretty ridiculous for potential customers who were just looking to eat and work. I almost feel like he just told me that because I was going to order a salad and a non alcoholic beverage and wasn't planning on ordering much. As the other 1 star reviews mention "pretentious behavior" so it's either the cashier or whoever it was is being pretentious as others mentioned or RACIST... Kinda odd to dictate what I do on my own accord while I'm a patron at your establishment. If I ordered food and a drink but chose to open my laptop, are you going to ask me to leave? Doesn't really seem customer centric. Considering that I've worked on my laptop at dine-in restaurants, it's pretty odd behavior to display. Also, considering that this is not a club, and there's no live music, and there were only 3 people sitting in there, I think I would have been fine to sit there quietly in a corner with my laptop. 1 star for the experience and weird behavior. Like I said it's either pretentiousness or racism but weird behavior nonetheless.
