The coffee is silk on your tongue, perfect every time The first people I meet in my morning are the staff, they made me feel like a regular immediately, friendly expedient and understand we all need our coffee to start our morning Check them out read more

This place is an absolute favorite. From the moment you walk in, it just feels comfortable and welcoming--like the kind of coffee shop you want to hang out in, not rush out of. The vibe is cozy. The coffee is seriously good. You can tell they care about what they're serving--everything tastes smooth, well-made, and consistently on point. Whether you're grabbing a simple drip coffee or something a little fancier, it never disappoints. The staff really make the experience, too. Everyone is friendly, relaxed, and happy to help, which makes the place feel even more welcoming. It's the kind of coffee shop you stop into once and then keep coming back to without thinking twice. Great coffee, great people, and great vibes all around. Highly recommend. read more

Very yumy and friendly staff. Will come back! Got a vtm and cookie. Short wait and decent prices! Thanks blk dot

There's a very rude barista who works at this location. I don't know her name because she was not wearing a name tag but she was curt and short to both myself and two other individuals who ordered after me. When you walk up to the register, she doesn't greet you or smile or say anything, just looks at you like she's irritated you would deign to approach her with your presence. For the entire ordering encounter, she treats you like she's annoyed you're even there. I hardly ever say this about an establishment but her vibes were so awful I genuinely will not be going back to this location. This was in the afternoon on 3/28 Saturday. read more

I just threw away my $9 hot honey coffee bcus they didn't want to remake it despite me asking for "half sweet". On my weekly visits I usually order the same thing... today, I HATED my coffee. When I say it was so sweet it burned my throat...yuck. I asked if they could remake it with the "half sweet" option I asked for and the girl up front said " okay but I have to charge you for another one" I genuinely shocked asked why and they said "because that's the recipe". They continued to argue with me until my husband stepped in and the barista finally offered an extra expreso shot but it was just a terrible and humiliating experience. The bad reviews on customer service here are very valid because the people that work here are sooooo incredibly rude. There's probably been one time where I genuinely felt welcome and had a "good morning" from someone. I forsure will not be coming back. Sticking to our lovely local coffee shops from now on where they welcome you and don't mind remaking your expensive coffee if you're not 100% happy with it. This was on 3.7.2026 at 7:30am. read more

Ambiance: it's a corner coffee spot located in a shared plaza with other merchants, takeout place only, few tables outside but no seating inside Service: attentive and friendly staff Drink: standard coffee menu ORIGINAL VIETNAMESE COFFEE - ** the large cup is not fulfilled as large portion, and it tasted so bland and not like Vietnamese coffee Price: middling drink, and over priced for its quality, not worth around $7 per drink read more

I can't over how clean the Cypress location is! And the black couch chairs are perfect for reading. But the hit of today is the Fiesta Bowl! Talk about bag for your buck! This bowl is packed with a variety of feisty ingredients that all come together perfectly. After this and VTM, i am pumped for the day! read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Fiesta Bowl! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I really wanted to have some good matcha einspänner so decided to try out the ones by Blk Dot Coffee. This cafe location is inside of a shopping center with tight parking spaces and availability. I attribute that partially due to the Trader Joe's being so close to it, and the day of the week being Saturday morning. The order was placed online for an in-store pickup. I arrived about 10 minutes prior to the promised ready time and my order was actually ready. The drink itself did not have a very strong matcha flavor I was looking for. It still had a nice mouthfeel to it. I appreciated the cocoa powder dusting on top and the amount of ice being perfect. Many times, these cafes tend to put a huge amount of ice and so little drink to actually sip on. Not here! I also liked witnessing the barista placing my drink in the fridge instead of leaving out on the countertop for me to until I arrived to get it. Many cafes tend to just leave it on the pick-up counter space for someone to accidentally take it or the ice melting half way and getting gross. Something to keep in mind -- there is really no space to sit down and enjoy your drink, socialize, or study. It was quite busy inside the store and the line was long and disorganized. The drinks will become available fairly quickly, but expect the wait time to be a bit on the longer side during the weekend mornings. read more

I have had plain coffee from this place and it was pretty good but today I wanted to try something different. My friend ordered the matcha latte and I had the oat milk brown sugar cold drink. My friend enjoyed her matcha however mine tasted like a plain iced coffee so I asked for some more of the syrup and then it became too sweet. I had to drink slowly so it wasn't too much for me. I will post again once I try other items. read more

Overpriced average coffee, I was excited to stop here after my trader Joes shopping, it seemed expensive, but I dont mind paying if its great cup of coffee. But wow I was disappointed with first sip. read more

6/16/25 Hot oat milk latte to go! This spot used to be CBTL a while back, glad it's replaced by another coffee shop that serves up great Java. It's cute, small with just a couple of outdoor seating. Service is friendly & accommodating. My latte was made & I requested for my own container to be filled with hot water first to warm it up so my beverage will keep hot longer. That was very cool for the staff to accommodate. The latte tasted great, rich, deep, dark, the way I like it. Highly recommend read more

Pretty good Vietnamese coffee! Definitely taste the bitterness of the caffeine which isn't overwhelming, and there's a hint of sweetness from the condensed milk. Definitely worth a try, especially from a chain coffee shop. read more

Service was amazing. I was welcomed right away by not one but two of the workers. The cashier was friendly and helpful. I got the Tiramisu Latte Einspanner. Plenty of parking and love that there was a Trader Joe's nearby. Any excuse to go into Trader Joe's... lol. Inside was clean. I got my drink in no time. When I went, I was able to order right away... but then a bunch of people started coming in afterwards; it got really busy. My experience was amazing! I liked my drink and the service was awesome. : ) read more

So I have been on a coffee tour in Long Beach and definitely had this spot on the radar. Blk Dot is really small inside. It did get a little crowded when there was a good group waiting for their coffee. They do have a few tables outside, but it was a little chilly and so most of us were waiting inside. I love matcha and jumped at the chance to try their mango Matcha. It was amazing. I don't ordinarily order mango because it can be a little overpowering, but this was perfect. It was a beautiful blend of both Matcha and mango. My boyfriend tried the light Vietnamese coffee, which was also very tasty. Vietnamese coffee can be pretty strong and I'm so glad he got the light version. We did have their breakfast sausage bowl and their breakfast sandwhich. The bowl is huge. We could have shared that and still been equally full. I did take off a star because I have been to a lot of coffee places and i have had some really nice experiences with staff especially when I had questions and I just wasn't getting that vibe from the team here. read more

This is hands down my favorite BlkDot location, and one of the stops I look forward to for my almost daily treat. I would 100% hustle through my workday sometimes to get there before closing than go to another BlkDot. Shoutout to Ethan, Abby, MJ, Jet & quite a few other familiar faces (so sorry, I'm terrible with names) for being so friendly & welcoming, even when the line is out the door. read more

This was my second time here but today I wanted to try something other than just a plain cup of coffee. I had a latte while my friend had a cold brew. This place is very small so if you plan to just sit and sip on your coffee it wont happen, unless you take one of the few tables outside. They do have some more seating area around this complex which is what we did. Oh and they also offer a limited variety of breakfast items. read more

Best matcha I've had, hands down--and the customer service is just as impressive. Huge shoutout to Ethan, Jet, and the entire Blk Dot team for always being on point, bringing great energy, and welcoming everyone with a smile. Can't recommend this place enough read more

First off, the coffee is delish! But what I like most is their customer service! I'm always greeted with a warm smile and hello. With so many coffee spots in LBC their customer service is what keeps me coming back. read more

Ooof. This is the worst blk dot I've been to. The locations in Orange County are wonderful, and I was excited to try this location. I went in an hour before closing, and all of the tables and chairs were put up. I asked "are you still open" the girl audibly sighed, rolled her eyes, and said yes. I ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee and it was terrible. It was not fresh, and tasted dirty. If you are in the area, please go to Gong Cha across the street. The service and drinks are 1000 times better over there. read more

I had 20 minutes to wait for the Joint to open up after their lunch. On a rainy Friday, 12/26, I chose to stop by and have "something chocolate" is what I expressed to the staff across the counter. They suggested Peppermint Mocha and out came a warm cup with whip cream and peppermint sprinkles! DELICIOUS! Just hit that spot and I devoured it, that I forgot to take a picture :( Anyway, I love when I get recommendations from a friendly staff! It just made my cold wet Friday at 3p turn into a warm chocolaty afternoon. There were plenty of chairs outside to relax the few minutes I had. Thank you! read more

Every week I come here and the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. They remember our names, our drink orders, and the setting is relaxing. Thanks Team! read more

I come here every single day and honestly, it's one of the best parts of my routine. The coffee is always on point--strong, smooth, and consistent--but what really makes this place stand out is the people. Jette, Layla, Aaron, and Bella are seriously the best. They're always welcoming, remember orders, and bring great energy every time I walk in. It's rare to find a spot where the staff makes you feel like more than just another customer, but they do exactly that. You can tell they care about what they do, and it shows in both the drinks and the vibe. If you're looking for great coffee and even better service, this is the place. Easily a 5-star experience every time. read more

This particular Blk Dot Coffee has bad reviews mostly saying that their customer service is terrible. Personally, I had a great experience and my drinks come out fast. Ordered their hot VTMatcha for myself and it was decent. The Vietnamese coffee portion was light but the matcha portion was good. Unsure if the customer service just improved over the years or I came in on a good day. I don't come to this area often but I was in the area to eat lunch and it was right by the freeway on my way home. read more

quality has gone down and every time i come here the workers have attitudes. i only come to this location if i HAVE to. so disappointing.

Came in today and the staff was so friendly. Especially Megan! We connected on the spelling of our name but also she made a stellar recommendation for a drink for me. Made me feel like I wasn't bothering her asking for a suggestion. The drink was so good and they all worked so fast together too. read more

Love coming to blk dot especially in Newport but there's a very rude barista who works at this location. I don't know her name but she did have blond hair & I believe it was in a ponytail. Don't ever write bad reviews ever but she was speaking to someone behind her during our interaction, I asked her recommendation for something new & she just stared at me with a blank face kinda rude whatever, I tipped her still thinking her day could be better. I'm standing there waiting for my coffee she brings it out didn't ask or say my name nor say the name of the coffee, I assumed it's my coffee since I was only the few people in there. Long story short, beautiful city, beautiful environment, great coffee. Ugly looks & attitude doesn't mix well with those ingredients 3/29 early noon read more

My friends and I came here on a Sunday morning! Service was friendly and fast. I got the Uji Matcha latte Einspanner. It was a matcha latte with a cream foam on top. The cream foam on top was delicious. The matcha latte itself was a bit clumpy which was not fun to drink. Besides the texture, the flavor was overall good. read more

This place has good coffee. Have been here a couple of times to grab a quick caffeine fix to go. That is because there is no seating inside nor outside, but their coffee makes up for it. I highly recommend the Spanish latte which is espresso and milk, sweetened with condensed milk and topped with cinnamon. I also love the Vietnamese Einspanner which is a strong espresso drink topped with their house cream. The baristas are always busy yet still take their time to explain the different drinks to you. Please keep in mind this location is in a busy plaza with a Nektar juice bar and Trader Joe's next door. Parking can be a chore. read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Iced Spanish Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is overall a great place. However very pricey for coffee....I come here to order the Vietnamese coffee which is delicious and it always taste fresh with premium beans. It is a very clean environment with quick service and very friendly personnel. They have a food menu as well but I have never tried anything from that. I might in the future it is just so unnecessary expensive. I understand prices has gone up but it just takes the edge off when they have nothing in the menu that is decently priced. Hence the 4 stars... read more

I come here to charge and get coffee but their customer service is horrible.... I've been here a few times now to give them multiple tries but the cashier just gives attitude all the time. If you hate your job that much, work elsewhere. The coffee is just ok, not the greatest but there are so many coffee shops opening up everywhere which means we have options.... You want to give good service so that the customer wants to come back imo. If I were the owner I would def change that real quick!! read more

I've never visited Blk Dot in person, only ordered through DoorDash, but I've tried a few of their drinks. To be honest, nothing really stood out to me until I tried the Iced VTMatcha. It's basically Vietnamese iced coffee with matcha, and it's easily the best drink I've had from here. My coworker recently ordered it for the first time and couldn't stop raving about it. I'm usually someone who sticks to the same drinks, and to be honest, I wasn't too excited about ordering from here again. But for the sake of joining in with my team, I got the Iced VTMatcha and now it's the only thing I'll ever order from Blk Dot. read more

Great little coffee shop. I ordered an iced Spanish latte, the coffee had a good bold flavor with that good cinnamon flavor. I didn't try any food but the coffee was made fast and there was a lot of parking since it's in a shopping center. Great place would definitely recommend. read more

The coffee is ok - I got the dulce vtm latte and it was fine. It was strong but really couldn't taste the dulce part of it. For the larger size it was almost $8. Service was also ok, the store is small with no inside seating but there is outside seating. read more

Such a convenient spot to get coffee while charging my car. Unfortunately, everytime I come the employees are so rude. They seem bothered by any questions asked about the menu or drinks. Never smile. The atmosphere is so unwelcoming that it makes you not want to come back. Please work on your customer service. The coffee is mediocre but with bad service and bad attitude the coffee seems even worse. read more

I am not sure if it was just me or the default taste of VTM coffee (cold) is really sweet. I'll ask someone if their hot drink like their latte tastes as sweet as the cold coffee. read more
