Okay so I needed to check out Kit Coffee because of all the hype. My drink was good, however I was…read moredisappointed in the overall experience. The line was to the door so we expected to wait, but geez was it a wait. The barista at the register was very nice and helpful about the menu. He answered our questions and seemed happy to help. The main menu you can see in line only has about 20% of the actual items on the menu. It makes sense why the wait took so long because everyone had to decide what they were ordering once at the counter. The barista that made our drink, I wish I could say I enjoyed more. While we were waiting for our order, s customer had an issue with her drink and she rolled her eyes when approached about it. She also snapped at many of her coworkers while customers were around. Her shirt was interesting, stating not to bother her because she bites. I don't know, I am all for a funny tee, but mixed with an off-putting experience came off unprofessional. My drinks itself was really good, I tried the salted maple latte with coconut cold foam. If I got it again, I would go without the foam. All of the breakfast items coming out looked delicious, I would want to get the breakfast burrito.

I could not find any other smoother and tasty coffee than Kean. Nothing in this area compares. It's a gem here. My husband and I usually get their vanilla latte. It just runs smooth; not acidic. Flavors are on point! Service is usually great. Sometimes it can be a bit since lines can get ridiculous here. But worth it! Casual atmosphere!

They've been around for a couple years but the enthusiasm continues unwaveringly, which is great to see! Let him know if something is not right and he'll make it right, right away. Excellent customer service! The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. Their Billy Cakes aka Rolled Oat Pancakes are the star of the show. It seems like they mix some oatmeal into the pancake batter. I got the cinnamon which comes with homemade cinnamon butter on top. You don't need syrup. In fact next time I'll ask for a little extra cinnamon butter. I also tried a regular pancake with blueberries. That was equally awesome. I ordered the 2 + 2 + 2. The bacon was phenomenal. High quality with a nice subtle smokiness. My over easy eggs were too easy, so next time I'll ask for over medium. The Pastrami Breakfast Tacos were perfect. Again very high quality meats. I loved the Pastrami. The scrambled egg was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were seasoned with too much Cumin for my taste. The owner said they're constantly experimenting and evolving the flavors. I'm looking forward to the next iteration of the potatoes. The coffee was nice and bold. I can't wait to come back!

The line/wait situation was a little confusing and I was definitely getting hangry , but everyone I spoke with was SO nice.

I ordered the buttermilk pancake and the chicken Caesar wrap and OMG -- both were amazing! The restaurant is also super cute inside, has a good amount of seating, a great menu, and really friendly service. I'll definitely be back! Just be prepared that there may be a wait... and maybe don't show up hangry like I did.

We tried the branzino as a side (which is priced pretty well). We also tried the beef bourguignon pasta. You can split one meal among three kids and the price comes out very reasonably. We got takeout, so I can't speak to the service. They use paper takeout boxes, which I appreciate because it means less mystery plastic to worry about with your hot food. The containers are lower waste and sturdy enough to hold up overnight. That's a huge plus for me, if packaging counts as ambiance.

I was staying at a hotel across the street for a few days and went looking for a good coffee shop…read moreon this side of town. I actually tried another nearby place first, only to discover it was closed for renovations--and I am SO glad it was, because otherwise I might never have found Long Black. I ended up coming here three times. No regrets. My first visit, I ordered the Biscoff cookie coffee and a spam, egg & cheese croissant. The coffee was delicious and, surprisingly, not overly sweet at all. You could still really taste the quality of the coffee underneath the flavor. And the spam, egg & cheese croissant? LIFE-CHANGING. Seriously. The next day I came back and tried their popular hazelnut Einspänner. I was not prepared for how thick the cream layer on top would be at first, but I let it sit for a bit while I drove to the office and allowed the cream to melt into the coffee a little. AMAZING. I love hazelnut, and this was so good. Naturally, I had to come back one more time before leaving and tried the banana cloud coffee. Again: fantastic. What impressed me most across all three drinks was the balance. Their flavored coffees aren't "sugar with some coffee." You taste the COFFEE first, then the rich cream and flavor, and then just enough sweetness. That's really hard to do well, and they absolutely nail it. I also tried an almond croissant, which was very good--and I say that as an almond-croissant heat-seeking missile who will find every great almond croissant within striking distance. They told me they bake their pastries in-house that morning, and you can tell. I eventually brought my sister with me, and she loved it too, including her regular croissant. Beyond the food and drinks, I loved watching the staff work. Everyone seemed genuinely dedicated to what they were doing and to the craft of making really good coffee. I came here because another coffee shop was closed. I came back twice because Long Black was THAT good. This will absolutely be my coffee stop anytime I'm on this side of town again.

Long Black has the option of online ordering but I decided to stop in to check out the ambiance. I found the interior much more spacious and welcoming than I'd expected seeing how weird the angle of the door to the cafe. We placed our orders and see several people already enjoying the space. The coffee and matcha are great. I see Long Black also joining the trend of offering season "Orange cream" type of a foam or note.... They took it up a notch by adding the essence of orange cream liqueur. I had to give it a try, and it wasn't bad, but the orange cream flavor didn't hold up the way I wanted. It dissolved pretty quickly, so by the end, it felt more like I was just drinking cold brew with a hint of orange. I should had stuck with my usual and favorite Biscoff Pannna Coffee!!

Upon walking in, the barista was friendly and open to answering any and all questions. Ambiance was also great and fit the name of the cafe and its vibes. For the drinks, we got an iced toffee latte and the kepania, which is their version of a spanish latte. I liked the toffee latte more cause it had bits of toffee in it but I also liked the spanish latte as it tasted lighter than the toffee latte. It gave the drinks more of a balance when I started taking sips from both of them. I do really like how the top layer of the lattes were blue, which gives off a great aesthetic. The only downside for me was that the toffee latte lost a good amount of its flavor after some of the ice melted-- some cafes still have a strong coffee taste even after the ice melts & that's usually what I like as far as preference. As for the sunbliss blend smoothie, it definitely had that taste of the 100% real fruit in it and was a refreshing drink to sip on when I walked at the beach. It's a plus for this cafe for having plenty of options between drinks and bites!

Checked this spot out since I was staying at the hotel nearby…read more.. What a neat little spot! Can almost call it a hidden gem! Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.
