    Strawberry matcha and hojicha einspannet
    Emily R.

    Cafe The Scoop is such a cute and fun cafe! I tried the strawberry matcha and my husband got a hojicha einspanner. Both were extremely smooth and delicious! The strawberry matcha was definitely on the sweet side but I do love the strawberry compote they used. My partner wasn't 100% sure what they wanted to get and asked the kind barista what their suggestion was. It worked out so well! They also have pudding that looked delicious and I will definitely be going back to try one!

    Matcha was creamy and earthy, perfect sweetness ratio. Came on a Sunday morning, line was a bit long but service was quick.

    Cafe The Scoop is an awesome Korean-inspired cafe in the LB area. This spot is located in a plaza with a decent amount of parking spots with additional street parking available as well. Inside, they have a cozy and modern interior with a solid amount of seating. Wifey and I opted for a Banana Pudding and a Banana Matcha. We ended up mixing them together which created a fire combo! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely stop by and grab a drink if you are ever in the LB area.

    Banana matcha latte with added cream top.

    This is one of the best banana matchas I've had, and I like them very sweet and creamy. I got the banana matchas latte as an einspanner (for additional charge) and it was delicious, creamy and very sweet. I wish they mixed the banana a bit more because there's usually a lot stuck at the bottom. The main downside is its size, it's very little matcha for a pretty high price too. I came in the morning so it was no issue finding a spot but with the small parking lot I could imagine it gets trickier later in the day. There is a restroom inside and plenty of tables where people study.

    Strawberry matcha latte with soy milk $9
    Tina L.

    Overall, solid matcha place. Parking lot is not large but I found a space. The space is smaller than expected compared to the online videos and A/C wasn't as strong, so I would take off a star for that but the service was quick, ordering was easy, very clean space, amazing house-made fruit syrups. Strawberry matcha latte (with soy milk - $0.50 extra for alternative milk) was $9 and they don't charge tax. The syrup is phenomenal and clearly made in house - quite sweet but mixes very well with the latte itself. You can taste the actual strawberry bits. Eispanner drinks seem popular and they do have seasonal menu with a good selection of pastries on display.

    I'm sometimes hesitant to get matcha when I try a new cafe, but safe to say they get it right here in my opinion. The matcha was perfectly balanced and you can tell it was quality ceremonial grade (if you care about that)! I got the mango matcha which is a summer special and it was soooo good and refreshing! I want to try their coffee next time, but I need to keep getting my mango fix before they change their specials. There are also a few tables and seating if you need to do any work.

    Cafe the scoop is one of my favorite places! The AC is so AMAZING (seriously one of the best), and the cafe is always clean with a cute, aesthetic vibe. it's on the smaller side, but the layout is good with 3 larger tables that have outlets nearby, 2 smaller tables, and bar stool seating in the center. Parking is convenient too, there a small lot in front and I've always been able to find a spot. The workers are super friendly, and even when there's a rush, they do a great job getting orders out quickly. I've tried both the mango matcha and the aloha matcha (pineapple), and the aloha matcha is easily my favorite. A little sad that they're seasonal. Their banana pudding is also so delicious! It can get a bit busy at times because it's a popular study spot, but it's worth the visit. I always look forward to coming back!

    BEST MATCHA EVER !!!!!!!!!! look at that green i can def tell they use high quality ceremonial matcha. i think it's better than the popular ones in la... its just so perfect. not too sweet or watery either. i drive down here from la for their matcha and puddings. they told me their cheong is homemade and with no artificial. it's soooo good! bought a few and ate it with my yogurt their customer service is amazing too! super sweet and friendly staff - especially june and reina! would def recommend cafe the scoop to everyone. also theyre very laptop friendly (wifi and outlets available) and have abundance of parking available (lot and street)

    I love finding new places around town! This one was on a pure whim and the only one in the area that fit my search criteria. With good ratings and a nice location across from a high school, I figured I couldn't go wrong. Choosing a beverage proved to be harder than I thought. After a short discussion with the employee taking my order, the recommendation of Pumpkin chai latte sounded best. My order was to go and unfortunately, I didn't try it before I left. At first sip about a mile away, I realized it really lacked flavor. I could barely taste the pumpkin and it tasted like lightly flavored melted ice. Very interesting take on a Pumpkin Chai Latte when neither the pumpkin, chai or milk flavor stood out. The inside was very busy with lots of people working or just hanging out. There were a couple tables outside as well. The location caters to the school across the street an the surrounding neighborhoods of which there is no close competition. Service was fast. Parking was ok at the time I stopped in, but the lot is small overall for all the businesses that share it. With LB loaded with similar businesses, I won't be running back here for beverages...maybe the banana pudding I saw in the refrigerator. Now that's something I might be able to get behind.

    - Hojicha Einspanner - Matcha Einspänner - Matcha Latte
    Karen L.

    This cafe has a cute laid-back energy that makes it easy to settle into and enjoy your drink, catching up with friends. There are also little touches of charm throughout the space from the decor to the merchandise on display. The space itself is on the small side therefore seating can be limited during busier times. Ordered the following: - Hojicha Einspanner - Matcha Einspänner - Matcha Latte The Einspanners were really enjoyable - the cream on top added a smooth, slightly sweet layer that balanced well with the roasted hojicha and earthy matcha. The Matcha Latte itself was well made - not too sweet. Overall, a good spot to try matcha and hojicha as well as their other drinks! Which I would like to come back and try!

    Matcha einspanner
    Tina N.

    We got the scoop latte and matcha einspanner. We enjoyed both drinks at 25 percent sweet. I thought matcha was a little light for me and the cream was good. I love matcha but I found myself liking the scoop latte more. The scoop latte had a good balance of sweet and espresso at 25 percent sweet, and the cookie added a nice touch for those who like sweet. Cookie was buttery, flaky, and mixed well with the cream. I would come back for the scoop latte.

    Banana Latte and Chocolate Croissant q
    Martha A.

    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
    Tiffany P.

    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 :)

They have a big menu with a lot of different options, not just coffee. The first time I went, most of the seats were taken but I was able to find a spot. I kind of struck out on the first drink I ordered though (the black sesame espresso, half sweet). I usually find specialty coffee drinks way to sweet and half-sweet is normally not a problem but I think I screwed up this beverage with my modification. Still, the cold foam was not that foamy or tasty and I found myself with a cup full of ice and no beverage after a couple sips. Wouldn't order again. The next time I came, the place was packed and there wasn't a single seat available which is good for them but disappointing for me. I ended up ordering the strawberry coconut cloud to go, since I already had enough caffeine for the day. What a delicious and refreshing drink! I'd absolutely get this again (or a different version). So overall, not a dependable spot to land if you want to work as it's often busy and all the seats are taken. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other drinks though, especially the egg cream or corn coffee drinks.

I was first introduced to the café when I wanted a drink. The butterfly lemonade is the perfect thirst quencher. The lemonade is freshly squeezed from the lemon in the refrigerator case. You see her grab the lemon and hand juice it. The butterfly tea is then freshly brewed and added at the top giving you a drink with blue on top and lemon color on the bottom. The magic is when you mix it. Try it! When I had more time, I tried the beet salad. Its made to order. Fresh everything, crisp salad, candied walnuts, feta sprinkled on top, and the perfect raspberry vinaigrette to finish it off. It comes with toasted bread that gives you just enough carbs to round out the salad. The mushroom melt is packed with mushrooms and I always ask for havarti as its my favorite. She is flexible when she is able to (ingredient availability or pre-prepped). But it is no small sandwich. I usually get the soup and sandwich. I have tried the tomato, mushroom, and lentil soups. All very filling and compliments the sandwich. Mushroom soup is seasonal so when you see it, try it. It is amazing. The impossible Caesar salad is made so fresh as if it is straight from the farm.

Maybe the college students that come don't mind but I definitely do. I'm really surprised they're still in business. And that's my take on this failed adventure, Peace out...
