007 coffee was absolutely delightful! The shop has an amazing vibe and is perfectly placed. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. read more

Love this coffee shop so much!! Very adorable decor and design on the inside. Love the wooden theme. Very organic and very comfortable place for me to sit and work! The team is small and obviously it's a new business. Feels good to be recognized and have a sense of community here! The team members are always really friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte. DELICIOUS! One of my fav combos and such a wonderful delivery of one of my favorite coffee flavor combos. Will be returning often! Especially being walking distance from my neighborhood. read more

Black Dog Coffee Roasters - Honey Lavender Latte! Known as the Lava latte on the menu. My fav combo! Delicious delivery! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Long Beach, California

There is free street parking, which wasn't hard to find and free wifi. There is only 1 outlet tho. They do close early at 3 pm, wish it was for longer . It does get packed, but people are welcoming for you to share and sit at their table. This is a great place to remote work. I love the travel vibe aesthetic. I believe that one of the barista's family produces the coffee beans in Latin America, which is so cool that it's a family business. Everyone is professional and super friendly. The barista really seems like they understand the different type of roast and where the coffee beans are sourced. It was super fast. They brought my coffee to me too and made room for everyone to sit down. I got the lava me with oat milk which it isn't an extra charge so we love that! The latte had a hint of lavender and I always love the latte art. The coffee is actually cheap compared to other places around here. It was around $5.75. I definitely recommend coming to this place and supporting this business. read more

Day one and they're already off to a good start. Outdoor seating for doggo people and it's a nice day. Tried a Cortado and a Latte, both tasty in their own right. Super friendly staff. Vibe inside is lively but kick back. And there's a windows to watch the roast happen. Excited to have a new local spot. If you're visiting via vehicle cuz you like the Signal Hill location, be a good neighbor, don't park in the red. read more

This place was so much fun, I loved all of their different coffee. I've also never had a latte with agave in it and it was mind blowing. It was so so so good, I'm so glad I gave it the chance. The woman behind the counter was kind and you can tell it's a good place to go! read more

I have been supporting Black Dog Coffee Roasters for a few years now, so, of course, when they open up a new storefront, I had to head over. They were previously at a warehouse before they had a little stand across the street. Regardless, for two years, I always would order bags of beans, even if it meant a delivery to my workplace, and a cup of Lava Me. So, as always, I came in and ordered my bag of beans, my cup of coffee, and one of each scone because that's how much of a gorda I am. Their coffee and pastries never fail. I sat for an hour to do some work. There's some nice ambience music, but nothing too crazy. Service is always amazing. I'm so happy to see how well Francisco is doing. read more

Today was my third visit to Black Dog, and it did not disappoint. I had previously tried a Mexican mocha, and today I ordered an iced caramel latte. Both were delicious. The staff is always friendly and professional. I will be going back. read more

I've loved this place since their warehouse days in Signal Hill! This local coffee roaster has great vibes and plenty of seating. I visited on a Friday morning when there was a burrito stand outside (not affiliated with the shop), which was a nice surprise. Milk alternatives and syrups are always free, which is a nice touch. Parking is street-only and can be a challenge since it's in a residential area near downtown Long Beach. Beware of street sweeping on Monday and Tuesday mornings--it could be even tougher to find a spot then. We always grab a bag of beans to take home for espresso; at $20-25 per bag, it's a great deal! Perfect place to relax, sip, and support local coffee. read more

I've been trying out all the local coffee places -- a new one each morning. There are so many in the neighborhood, I want to give them all a shot (no pun intended). This is my favorite one so far!!! The coffee is smooth and creamy and not bitter at all. Just as I like it! Super great atmosphere and beautiful service. Definitely putting it on the regular visit list. read more

I traveled from OC and took a chance based on the reviews for the iced chai ( reviews raved about the in-house concentrate). Parking was a bit of a hassle, as for the majority of LB, I don't see this being an issue for community members, though. To my surprise, they were out of the drink I came for, so I went for the next big thing: MATCHA. The service was good; had to wait while the guy at the register flirted with the girl ahead of me to get her name. Apparently, asking for a name wasn't standard, perhaps because my name wasn't asked for or called. The drink wasn't any better; not much flavor (just milk taste) or rich color (pale green). This isn't a matcha shop, granted, but you would think they would have a standard drink down. I probably will go elsewhere for both chai and Matcha. Coming back for the eyecandy and free wifi. read more

I love coffee and Long Beach has some great cafes. I have to say this is going to be one of my top favorite spots! I loved the vibe inside, they have a good amount of seating and free WiFi.

It's their lavender latte which was not too sweet, just how I like it. I will definitely be back! read more

Love their Coffee - one of the Best places in Long Beach. Very Friendly Baristas. Welcoming and Courteous! Wish they had more seating - but at least you know you will love their Cappuccino! read more

This is some of THE BEST coffee in the LBC!! I stumbled upon this place since I was at the camera shop next door. I had a taste for coffee but couldn't tolerate the caffeine since it was already afternoon, I got a decaf coffee with Almond Roca syrup and half and half. To my amazement my coffee was phenomenal!! I was very happy since I had not tried the Almond Roca flavor before and that I got out of my comfort zone and tried something new. The service was great and the inside of the place was really nice. It has lots of plants inside and interesting types of seating like an old elementary school desk. Their prices are very reasonable overall ($4-$6) for a decent size cup of coffee. This is where I get my coffee when I am in Long Beach!! read more

The food is really good and affordable. Your allowed to make changes to your drinks with no extra charge. Who else does that?

This is such a cute little neighborhood coffee shop -- definitely has that cozy, local feel, and it always seems to be a popular spot with regulars. The prices are really reasonable, and the space itself is super aesthetic and inviting. That said, I've been here about four times now, and the coffee has only been great once (at least to my taste). I usually ask for my drink extra sweet, but most of the time it doesn't seem like any extra vanilla or syrup is added, and I've had to go back and ask for a fix. It's not terrible by any means, just not my favorite. Personally, I'd rather pay a little more for consistently good coffee. Still, it's a nice spot if you're in the area and want a chill vibe or a cute place to sit. read more

I ordered a 007 shake and literally changed everything( almond milk and honey). I appreciated them being super supportive of the modifications and not annoyed lol. It was good. I then bought matcha powder bc I have run out at home. I am not gonna lie it looked suspicious because I saw it on the counter and it's not as green as what I'm used to but it was an emergency. It came with a free matcha when purchasing the tin and OMG IT WAS SOO GOOD. Like honestly it's not about the powder.. it's about the barista, it was thick and added just enough honey for me to taste still taste the matcha. It's honestly disappointing when I order a matcha and cannot taste it because of the amount of sweetener they decided add- when I specify light honey. Anyways matcha bomb!!! The baristas were supper friendly and it's such a cute place inside. I went when it opened so I was able to sit and enjoy my drink. I am not really sure how it is other days. Beware though parking is terrible read more

Today we are reviewing Black Dog Coffee Roasters! They have two locations: a building near 3rd St. and another in Signal Hill--a coffee cart. Black Dog Coffee Roasters is a Latino owned and inspired coffee shop, selling drinks related to Latin culture. Black Dog changes their coffee beans daily or every other day, fusing their drinks with different experiences. The coffee bean we had was Salvadorian! We ordered an iced Double-07 latte, which already comes with oat milk. It's a simple drink, yet greatly flavored! The agave adds this gentle sweetness to the drink that makes it so enjoyable. The drink is smooth, and perfectly caffeinated. This is the perfect drink to get at Black Dog Coffee Roasters. We also had their hot PB Fit Latte with oat milk. This drink was delicious. However, we were more invested in the Double-07 latte. This drink also had a subtleness to its sweetness that stayed true to its coffee taste. We have tried the matcha latte here, and the flavor is a bit near the umami taste. So it was a bit questionable. The coffee drinks here are amazing and Coffee Thursday recommends trying this location. We want to give a shoutout to Marcus and Joanna who provided us with this recommendation. read more

I wanted to like this place so bad, specially because Im Salvadorean but my experience today with one of the baristas was terrible. She was rude, inattentive and told us on a very indirect way that we could not have our dog. She is a tiny dog. She said that the owner was there. What was that? A threat? I've seen dogs there before and the name of the place is Black Dog. read more

Delicious and super freaking cool!!! The baristas were very kind and knowledgeable about the roasting process and how everything is made in house. I was nerding out high key. We got a red eye, a pb fit latte, and a Cafe Santo cold brew to go. They had a sign to ask for free samples and we did and both were amazing. I've never had palo santo in a drink before but was very intrigued by the infusion process. Looks like a great place to work although im unsure of if they had any outlets. Street parking was easy with plenty of spots around read more

In the service industry we have a saying, or as our managers like to call it, a culture. "Friendly but not familiar." This is a concept usually taught at orientation to help us address guests in a proper and professional manner. However, guest-facing folk are an unusual breed. Charming, accommodating, knowledgeable, and a kiss of flirtatious. This personality type does tend to teeter towards the familiar as friendly doesn't always pack the same punch. To truly captivate an audience, a customer service worker must be an approachable balance of vibrant and entertaining while authoritative and informative. A lethal sense of humor and a complete empath. These people are your therapist, friend, foe, and any other formative member of your inner circle, but more importantly, they are making your coffee. At least they are when you're at Black Dog Coffee Roasters. At Black Dog, the staff ditches this old school proverb to treat you like a friend coming over for a cup of coffee before class or on your way to work. Like walking in the side door of your best friend's childhood home, you swim through a sea of warn checkered floors and walk up to the counter where you're met with stimulating and meaningful chatter. Well past fast casual conversation, dipping toes into the "how 'bout this weather we're having" pool, the staff remembers your name and treats you like a person rather than a purse string. You can order on or off the menu because everything they make is packed with love (masterfully roasted coffee/espresso that transcends time/space) - but mostly love. Personally, I feel their cold brew is some of the best I've had. My mother, an insufferable coffee snob, has harshly judged every cappuccino she's met since milk could be steamed, but to our surprise, she absolutely adored her boneyard, dustbowl dry cappuccino. There's something magnetic about an environment where the crew seems genuinely happy to be there. It cultivates this kind of community magic that gives us the warm and fuzzies. Good coffee, lived-in furniture, and a space where you can feel the human connection hanging in the air like the fog that sits on our shoreline. I'd like to thank the Black Dog staff for busting the friendly but not familiar myth, because we all need a local coffee shop where things are a little familiar. read more

This is a cute little local spot! I wouldn't have known about this place if I wasn't walking home from a friend's a couple weeks ago. (I wanted to walk home to get my steps in.) I had only my water bottle with me and was getting hungry. There was a car accident in the intersection so I took that as a sign to stop walking and check this place out. I walked in and felt a calm and peaceful vibe. It smelled so good! The cashier was so nice and friendly and helpful. (I'm so sorry I forgot your name! I'll update when I come back.) She helped me decide and I got the PB Fit Latte. It has protein in it and I figured since I missed breakfast, this would be a good start to my day. The baked goods looked so good! I gotta come back and try it! Thanks guys! read more

This is such a wonderful, local cafe. The coffee is brewed to perfection and always fresh. The espresso is smooth and you can tell they take good care of their espresso machine. Customer service is always great, and Gabby, the owner is a gem. Highly recommended. read more

Delicious. And barista was very nice definitely recommended . Coffee is delicious. Will be returning

Came here after having breakfast at Tito's. Parking is street only, so it can be hard. Inside it was a very relaxing ambiance, perfect place to study and meet up. The workers were nice too and help me pick a drink. I went with the sweet little hulk, it had rose syrup, oat milk and matcha. It was pretty tasty and refreshing. If parking wasn't so hard, I'd come back again and try other drinks. read more

Great neighborhood coffee spot! The staff is friendly and seems like they enjoy what they do . Coffee tastes great , although I normally order Cold brew. There are plenty of other options to pick from. I've only been on an early morning during the week, and it has a chill vibe. There's space inside to hangout and catch up with friends or study space. I'll definitely pop back in every so often during my off days read more

I've been to Black Dog a couple of times now and it's definitely a new fave coffeeshop in LB. I love the vibe here! The baristas are super friendly and the place is very cozy and inviting. Love the natural lighting, plants, and decor. Coffee-wise: I got the cold brew (black), which was very smooth and a good portion! And I've also tried the mocha (hot), which was delicious. Things I look for in a good coffeeshop: * Good coffee * Lots of seating * Free wifi * Good music And Black Dog Coffee Roasters checks all the boxesThis is def going to be a regular spot for me! Tips/logistics: - Dog-friendly - This is a parking-impacted area but I was able to find a spot both times I visited (weekend mornings), although I did have to circle the block - Bring a book or a friend - it's a great place to hang out! read more

Nothing but good things to say! Good coffee, lovely baristas, quick service, very vegan friendly (soy, almond, oat mills, maybe even coconut?!), fair pricing. They don't charge for alt milk, which I love! Got a cafe ole, and it was great. Fair amount of free street parking. Outside seating is limited; there is more inside, and it wasn't too crowded when we went on a late Sunday morning. Aesthetic is like warm hues, low key, natural vibe. The inside was a little dim for me but wasn't an issue since there was outdoor seating. Would totally come back! My partner's oat milk Mexican mocha was bomb - got it half sweet and it was perfect. read more

Such a great coffee spot! The vibe is super cozy, the staff are always friendly, and the coffee is amazing!

I'm so glad they opened up so close to my home. I usually love their iced mocha w whole milk, or 007 w whole milk. I don't like the oat milk they use (Kirkland) or the agave. Initially I was told their chocolate for their mocha is handmade, but another review says otherwise-so not sure. Recently they've hired some new people who unfortunately don't make the drink as good. The pull of the coffee is always so bitter and lack mocha. The tall curly hair man or girl w tattoo makes the coffee super consistent and good, but my last few visits were not good at all. Very expensive and I'd hate to ask them to remake my drink since they usually have a long line! I'll buy their beans from time to time but unfortunately have to find somewhere else for my fresh coffee! read more
