    Matcha Einspanner, Hochija, Matcha Latte
    Vivy T.

    Drinks: 5/5 The matcha drinks tasted premium and well-made. I tried the hojicha and was really pleased with the overall flavor. The menu also includes short descriptions, which helps when choosing drinks you haven't seen before. Customer Service: 5/5 The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They answered our questions about the unique drink options and made the experience feel welcoming. Ambiance: 5/5 The vibe was chill and mellow, perfect for relaxing and enjoying your drink. There are a few tables inside, plus cute merch available. Parking: 4/5 Parking spaces are a bit tight, but availability was good when we stopped by in the evening. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm around town.

    Banana Latte and Chocolate Croissant q

    I've been looking for a new cute cafe spot in Long Beach to enjoy some coffee and chill and this was a good spot to go to if you're in the area. I read a few reviews how it's spacious, however I found it to be smaller than I thought. Because of busy it was for a Friday morning, seating was limited as most people were there studying/working or socializing. Staff were very nice and friendly and worked quickly despite the rush. I ordered an iced banana latte and it was good! I would say it was more a hint of banana. I also tried their chocolate croissant which was a good size for breakfast and was perfectly toasted. Most people come here for their matcha so I'd have to give that a try next time. While there is a parking lot, parking was a bit challenging as this coffee shop is in the same lot as a lot of other businesses.

    Strawberry Matcha & Banana Matcha Latte

    Cute little spot to catch up with a friend! We went with the cashier's recommendations: Banana Matcha Latte & Strawberry Matcha. The matcha was surprisingly dark and thick, but craaazy sweet! I definitely gotta ask for reduced sweetness next time. When I come back, I might try their Banana Latte instead :)

    Pearce S.

    The matcha is smooth and earthy without tasting bitter, while the banana flavor adds this creamy sweetness that almost tastes like banana pudding in drink form. It's rich, balanced, and not overloaded with sugar like a lot of trendy matcha spots. The layers and presentation are super clean too, and you can tell they use quality matcha because the flavor still comes through instead of getting drowned out by milk or syrup. The vibe inside is chill, modern, and perfect for catching up with friends or getting work done. Definitely a spot I'd keep coming back to for matcha runs.

    You know what considering how f*cken busy it was... I'm talking line out the door, full house in this mfer I got my drink pretty quick. Especially since I came on a Saturday between 12:30-2:00 PM, which is peak hours. I was a little intimidated at first because it was like 90% women, and I had a shirt on that said "kinda fit kinda fat," so I thought I might offend somebody lol. Anyways, if I'm around the area, I'd definitely stop by again considering how spacious it is and how fast the line moved. The coffee itself was good you can see and taste the crema, which tells me the espresso was pulled correctly. No burnt taste at all. The spot is aesthetically pleasing, super clean, and offers more than just coffee. I also did some research on the company because I was curious, and I respect that the owner really started from the bottom. It was about 4 years in the making as she started by creating her own house-macerated fruit/compotes, doing pop-ups, and selling them in jars before incorporating them into beverages. Those are the kinds of stories I like to hear. It shows she didn't just jump into opening a cafe with no experience she actually put in the work, experimented with flavors for years, and understands what pairs well together. It's a craft I can respect, especially when you see so many new coffee shops opening up using Torani or Monin syrups without really mastering the fundamentals first.

    This is my first time at Cafe the Scoop in Long Beach. It is located in a small strip mall. It is a Korean-inspired coffee shop. According to Google, It is known for its high-quality matcha drinks, creative lattes, and house-made puddings, especially the banana pudding. They use fresh ingredients like natural fruit syrups. Some Popular items include scoop lattes, matcha lattes (especially with pudding), and pastries like kouign-amann. See full menu in attached pictures. The Interior is spacious, bright, fresh and inviting with natural elements and a very relaxing jazz music playing in the background. It offers a cozy atmosphere with free Wi-Fi and outlets, making it a great spot for studying, I had the scoop Latté which is a cold drink made with sweetened espresso, milk of choice and vanilla cold foam. It is topped With a Palmier cookie and cocoa powder. I also had an almond croissant. My drink was really good. The croissant was good but no different than anywhere else. Prices are reasonable, and the young staff is really friendly. I was there for about an hour, and it was very busy. The crowd was mostly college students. I really enjoyed my first visit. I highly recommend trying them out.

    Super yums! My friend and I came in on a Sunday morning and it wasn't too busy. We got our drinks within 10 minutes and set up shop to get some work done for the next few hours. There are several tables and outlets so it is a good study cafe. But onto the drinks! We got a matcha latte (75% sweet) and a matcha einspanner, both of which were amazing. I will admit that I got almond milk instead of oat which was a mistake because almond milk has a strong flavor so I couldn't taste the matcha as much, but that was definitely my bad. It was still super smooth and the perfect sweetness level so I couldn't complain! My friend for the matcha einspanner which she said was really good, a bit on the sweeter side, but perfect if you like your matcha sweet. She tried the banana matcha before and liked that one more than the einspanner though. Overall, I would come back and try their other offerings! Next time without almond milk though haha. Ratings: Matcha latte: 4/5 Matcha einspanner: 4.5/5

    The customer service was top tier like the coffee. I'm very picky with my coffee and this definitely did not disappoint. Having a cookie on top of the coffee isn't only cute for pics but also super yummy. A delicious touch! Also the shop is great for studying! But, it does get busy.

    I came here because I heard their matchas are good and they're not... They're amazing! Best flavored matchas around. I love the banana and strawberry matcha. Plus I can get it with oatmilk. It's always so rich in flavor without diminishing the flavor of the matcha. Look how green that drink is! That's some strong matcha Always friendly service here and love that there's enough room to sit and hang out or work.

    Yummy coffee shop in a nice area. I saw lots of people going for runs or walking their dogs nearby. This place is right in the corner of a weirdly shaped parking lot. There's a good amount of seating inside and it was a nice place to sit and enjoy our drinks Scoop latte: 4/5 this wasn't bad but I like super sweet coffee so this was a little bitter for me. It's prob pretty sweet to most people though Banana pudding: 4/5 I liked this a lot and ended up putting some of the pudding into my coffee like extra cream top and mixed it in Def would wanna try the banana latte next time I'm back

    Banana Matcha latte and Matcha Latte

    4.5 stars rounding up to 5 Came on a Saturday right at 9am opening and there was already 5 people ahead of me. The inside looked really aesthetic and clean. The employees were friendly! We ordered the: - Banana Matcha Latte w/ oat milk: delicious! You can taste real banana chunks on the bottom. We got it 50% sweet since the banana makes the drink sweeter - Matcha Latte w/ oat milk: got it 75% sweet and it was the right amount of sweetness. You can taste the matcha and overall refreshing drink. This would be a cute date spot. There's a few tables and seats inside. There's also a restroom inside which was clean. We sat there for a bit and there was consistently a line. Would come back again if in the area!

    I was expecting more quality matcha but it was somewhat disappointing...though the store was super busy. This is between boba and a speciality coffee shop ceremonial matcha. Though the color of the matcha was super green, it definitely was not high grade matcha - and a little on the sweeter side for me. We also got their coffee, which I feel the same-a bit too sweet and in between Starbucks and boba shop.

    Matcha Latte
    Tyler S.

    Stopped by Cafe the Scoop and it's a sleeper spot. Clean, minimalist aesthetic with a peaceful ambiance -- the kind of place where you can grab a coffee, lock in, and get some work done without distractions. Service was quick with warm hospitality, which always sets the tone. I ordered the Matcha Latte with oatmilk (hot) and it was smooth, well-balanced, and freshly prepped. If you're in Long Beach and need a calm coffee break or a new workspace vibe, this one's worth the pull-up. Quiet, clean, and dialed in.

I ordered one of their seasonal beverages, a tiramisu latte. This latte was pretty much a dessert, and exactly what I needed to fix my morning blues. The only thing that could have elevated this experience would be a side of lady fingers for dipping purposes. The breakfast burrito came packed with crispy potatoes, plus, eggs, bell peppers, chipotle aioli, and cheddar. To be honest, I found this burrito to be lacking. It was about 90% potato and I'm pretty sure the aioli listed on the menu description was non-existent. While the food didn't blow me away, this place truly stands out due to its extra large interior seating area. It feels nearly impossible to find a coffee shop with enough tables in this newly WFH society. Good Time has got us covered, with plenty of seats and outlets for everyone.

Located off Bellflower Blvd and South Street in Lakewood, this coffee shop is much more than a place to grab a drink. From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by art, creativity, and community. The space is open and inviting, with plenty of seating, outlets for studying or working, cozy lounge areas, a conference room available to rent, and even a quieter section with books and softer lighting. I ordered the Banana Bread Dirty Chai, a Matcha, and a slice of coffee cake. The Dirty Chai was sweet and flavorful, but the Matcha stole the show. It was smooth, beautifully balanced, and not overly sweet. The coffee cake was equally impressive. Perfectly sweet with a tender crumb, it's the kind of pastry that pairs beautifully with a morning coffee and is sturdy enough for those who like to dip their pastries into their drink. One thing that stood out to me was learning that the pastries are made by the owner's mother, an award-winning pastry chef. Although I didn't try everything, the display case was filled with beautiful pastries that looked fresh, handcrafted, and made with care. What impressed me most was that PADEKWA kept surprising me. Everywhere I looked, there was another detail that revealed this place is about more than coffee. From the artwork and creative spaces to the community events they host, it's clear that connection and creativity are part of the vision. The best part? I left feeling like I had only scratched the surface. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back, not just for the drinks and pastries, but to learn more about the people and heart behind it. If you're looking for great coffee, creative inspiration, delicious pastries, and a place that truly feels welcoming, PADEKWA is definitely worth a visit.
