I read plenty of positive reviews on Yelp and was excited to try them out for the first time. I came in around 11 am on a Friday, and it wasn't too busy yet. The decor is homey, and it has a nice local vibe. The deli menu offers many classic Italian sandwiches, pastas, and more! Cold beverages and chips are next to the cashier. I ordered the classic Torpedo. Although there were no size options, it was a huge sandwich loaded with fresh ingredients, savory meats, and a quality baguette. I also grabbed one of the La Dolce Vita drinks, and it made for a perfect, filling lunch. The serving sizes are generous, so sharing is an option. There is a market in the next room with many items from Italy, plenty to take home, and make a great meal. From dry ingredients and sauces to cold fresh pastas, pizza dough, snacks, olive oils, and more! Most you won't find in mainstream grocery stores. At the deli counter, meats and cheeses are offered, and prices per pound are posted just above the counter. First time visiting, and it was an excellent experience. The staff was friendly, made my sandwich with care, and kindly brought it to where I was sitting. The dining area is spacious inside, and a couple of tables on the sidewalk just outside the door. Prices overall are decent and a bit pricey, but the food is delicious with generous portions. I'm looking forward to when the craving hits again.

Blk Dot Coffee brings a fresh spin to Vietnamese coffee while keeping its soul intact. Their signature VTM Coffee, made through a slow-drip process, is worth the visit alone - strong, smooth, and properly made every time. Beyond just their Vietnamese coffee, they've built a solid menu. You can grab anything from classic espresso drinks to creative coffee and tea specials. The mix of traditional and modern touches works well here, and having breakfast and lunch options makes it easy to camp out for a while. But it's their Vietnamese iced coffee that keeps people coming back. Made with sweetened condensed milk and their craft coffee, it hits that perfect balance of bold and sweet. It's energizing without being overwhelming, and they nail the consistency - your drink tastes the same whether you come in on Monday or Friday. After years as a regular customer, I can say Blk Dot stands out in the coffee scene. They've taken Vietnamese coffee traditions and made them their own, creating a spot that works for both coffee enthusiasts and casual drinkers. read more

I've visited this location multiple times and generally had a good experience, but this visit was disappointing. I arrived around 8:30 am, and while the service was fine, it wasn't remarkable. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, a light Vietnamese coffee, and two iced matcha lattes with oat milk. The regular Vietnamese coffee was decent, though a bit too sweet. However, the light version had no sugar at all, which seemed like a mistake. The matcha lattes were also unsweetened, which I didn't realize until later. I wish the staff had mentioned this, as many people prefer some sweetness in their drinks. Overall, I felt like I wasted my money and time. I might have been better off going elsewhere if I was going to spend $6-7 per drink. read more

When the sandwich came out it looked rather disappointing. The biscuit itself is small, probably the size of a Pillsbury dough biscuit, and the chicken wasn't much bigger. nothing else on it like a green, coleslaw, sauce, etc. just these two items. However, it did come with a side of a honey butter. the side of fruit was about 8 pieces split between pineapple, melon, and grapes. the whole sandwich was dry, which can be expected from a biscuit, but this was just too dry for me. the yogurt bowl($8) came in a small bowl that had a large flaring, basically the entire dish was large but the bowl portion was small. I eat yogurt everyday and the amount you get is probably half the size of a standard serving of yogurt (170g) and it was sparsely sprinkled with granola. my partner ordered a chorizo burrito ($15) and while she raved about the flavor the size of it was laughable, especially considering there are plenty of spots in LB that serve double or even triple the size of this burrito at or near the same price lastly, and the most disappointing of all, was the cinnamon roll($8). they were on display at the register and figured yeah I want one of those and instead of giving it to me right then and there it was brought with the rest of the food but it was not warmed up, which made me question why I waited for it. It was rool temp, burnt, and hard. I do want to try other items but the price you pay for what you get, especially considering this experience I had, is off putting.

Both drinks were amazing, the latte was icy and nice and strong, with just the right amount of sweetness. I've never had a date smoothie nor one like this. It's blended with cold brew, oat milk, dates, and some other ingredients I can't remember. But it was creamy, chewy from the little bits of dates that weren't blended, espresso. It's a pretty large smoothie than can definitely be split between people, it's also very filling. Such an awesome gem in Long Beach, and the staff are friendly and super welcoming.

I was planning a rare visit to the oceanfront, and along the way stood Steelhead on Broadway. Steelhead on Broadway is located on Broadway (duh! lol) and Redondo on the southwest corner of the intersection. It's in the very corner of the building next to Flamin' Curry and Baddeley's Pourhouse Sports Bar. When I came in, I was greeted by the barista, Ruben, who was busy making drinks for the steady flow of customers. His co-worker, Jacob, was at the register taking orders, fielding questions, and just making friendly conversation with the clientele. There isn't much standing room in front of the counter, so when there was another customer standing by the wall, I thought it was her turn to order until she mentioned she was clueless on what drink(s) to get. I was clueless as well, so I used the opportunity to ask Jacob a handful of questions like what the drink sizes looked like, what the Aerocano was, and what Cortado was. Jacob answered my questions with ease and well enough that I was sold on the Aerocano. Some of the drinks on the menu are offered in two or even three sizes, but the Aerocano is one of the drinks that only comes in one size, 12 oz in this case. Interestingly enough, the back of my gift card listed Steelhead Coffee's other two locations, but not this one, so I wasn't sure if my gift card would work here. Sure enough, it did, but after paying, the tablet mentioned I could earn 50 points for putting in my phone number. I wanted to ask about their rewards program, but before Jacob could finish answering, the tablet went to a different screen. Unfortunately, there was no way for Jacob to go back and retroactively apply my phone number to the last order. I probably would have been interested in joining the rewards program, but this stroke of bad luck was enough to deter me from joining. While all that was going on, Ruben prepared my Aerocano so fast that I didn't have to wait any longer to start sipping on the drink, which is pretty much a black coffee and doesn't come with cream or sugar. There was quite a bit of foam on top of the Aerocano, which was a little more than I preferred. Also, even though I was told ahead of time it'd be in a 12 oz cup, I still felt I could have used a little more drink and a little less ice for the price point, which I'd still say is reasonable for a quick pick-me-up. Jacob was very friendly and helpful! If I rated them based on service alone, it'd be an easy 5. I even witnessed him making friendly conversation with other customers, likely regulars. As I went up to take a second look at the menu, he asked if I liked the Aerocano, to which I replied "not too shabby". I think he also mentioned that he was willing to remake the drink if something went awry, but I was satisfied with the taste of the Aerocano drink overall. While I'm not a coffee connoisseur by any means, I don't think the Aerocano was that much different than a traditional Americano; like there are some subtle nuances between the two drinks that I wouldn't be able to describe, but I'm sure the connoisseurs could. Ruben was friendly too, greeting me as I entered through the front door. I did witness him crossing Redondo while I was enjoying my Aerocano, leaving Jacob as the lone barista in the shop for just a few minutes. But even on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't that busy that they could afford to take breaks like that. Inside the coffee shop, they have four round tables, each of which could seat two, as well as a couple of bar-style tables by the window. Between these bar-style tables is a small refrigerator of grab & go drinks like Olipop and Harmless Harvest. There are also five shelves of merch next to one of these tables, and I'm assuming this merch is for sale. They also have four two-seater tables outside if you prefer to sip your coffee/tea al fresco. They also serve some baked goods here. While I was placing my order, Jacob asked if I'd like any, but I didn't see any price tags on them. I was curious how much they cost, and he estimated between $4 and $8. I had just eaten a rather large lunch, so I passed on the baked goods. I also saw a couple of customers come in with their dogs, so they seem to be friendly to dogs as well. Parking was anything but easy. They don't have a parking lot in the immediate vicinity, so I had to circle around a few neighboring blocks before I found a spot on 1st St. I probably won't make a return visit since I don't find myself in this part of town as often, but if you do live nearby, I highly recommend patronizing Steelhead Coffee for a quick pick-me-up. I still have a remaining balance on my gift card, so I'll be looking forward to exhausting the remaining funds at the other two locations. Recommended!
