The back room at this low key location has a show room with a car collection that belongs to the building owner and is available for viewing on weekends only. There is limited seating outside but most people tend to grab and go. They have 2 locations in Long Beach. I highly recommend black dog coffee roasters. Shout out to Francisco, Geraldo and the rest of the crew for doing such a great job.

So I needed coffee after just landing and this placed looked good. I try to give coffee shops…read moremultiple chances before actually singing their praises however - the reviews hype this place up accordingly for the items they have. It is a smaller cafe and limited pastries, this should not deter you from trying there items. My fiancée grabbed a muffin and we ate it before I can get a nice photo. This was my first time trying this place and I got the holistic latte and my fiancée got the Spanish latte. I want to note - if you're someone who likes a stronger coffee please request an additional shot, as the drinks are more flavorful based on the type of latte you get. However if you're new like me and unsure, you can more than likely go in and get an extra shot and it would be no problem :) if you're a coffee person who loves supporting your local cafes, give them a shot you won't regret it. I do want to note a few things, have a chitchat with the staff very helpful and you're a learn about where they started from. The second, there is no public bathroom.

I love this coffee shop! The staff is always kind and welcoming, and the coffee is absolutely…read moredelicious. My go-to order is the 007, which is phenomenal. I also love that their coffee is imported from El Salvador, you can really taste the quality of the beans. It's a great place to study or get some work done, and the atmosphere is inviting. My only complaint is that it can feel a little warm and humid inside. Overall, though, it's a wonderful spot!

Nice place in a location that needs it…read more Coffee is good. And staff is very friendly, but it comes most often with a slow service, thanks to chatty customers. The outside stand with burritos is awesome and I secretly hope it's there when visiting. The selection of baked goods is very narrow. And it also seems like owner is trying to be on the safe side and not to be left with a few extra muffins in the end of the shift... The most basic bakery item, such as a plain croissant, would've been really helpful. Overall it's a good place.

Cajete & mazapan lattes (oat, iced) are incredible. Service is super friendly. Great supporter of…read moreour community Coffees: if you're like me and make most of your iced lattes at home, you get picky and start to understand what makes a good latte - the ratios, quality of espresso etc. (am I becoming a coffee snob lol). This place is 1000% a GREAT iced latte spot. The mazapan was our favorite but is sweeter (love it) and the cajete is also great, but less sweet. The space: local art and murals, bulletin board with local events. Lots of space to work or study. Parking: street only. Hit the green checkmark on the meter for free 15 minutes parking.

It looked super unique and genuinely good so we went and the employees were so cool and kind and it was my fav interior design I've seen in a while. Prolly because they just put up whatever they wanted to. Portraits of bad bunny, Friday Kahlo, and Chadwick are featured on the walls, as well as board games and chess. It's super welcoming for the gays #lovegays but also has a great variety of clientele. Got the horchata matcha and some Mexican candies lol love that they had these probably the best coffee shop in the area much love.

I just moved to Long Beach and have already been here 3 times. Not only is the coffee and matcha so…read moreincredible and high quality, but the mission of this place makes me want to support it even more! The fact that it supports workforce development and community building is really amazing and it shows. The pistachio latte is one of the best I have ever tasted. I've also had the mango matcha and the birthday cake latte from their specialty menus and those were so incredibly delicious as well. They have working spaces, consistently friendly service, and great wifi as well. I've found one of my new favorite coffee spots for sure!

I actually discovered it on accident when I…read morewas dropping off a friend to the airport and stumbled across a photo of the plants and thought it was right up my alley. The space just feels light and happy, and the drinks are on point. If ur not happy they are totally down to fix ur drink til you are. And they're delicious, I've had a few interesting creations including a strawberry latte that was made with love. The baristas here know what they're doing and they're slinging good coffee. Great place to meet up with a friend or catch up on work. It's a bit of a quieter space but a good neighborhood hang.

Finding a parking spot will be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: Located on 2nd St. They have a medium sized space with a good amount of indoor seating. The inside is nice and clean. Perfect environment to get some work done or simply go on a coffee date. They also have a few outdoor seating. Service: The owner actually assisted us. He was very nice, quick, and efficient. Drinks: I tried their seasonal Cookie Butter Latte. It was very sweet, so I recommend adjusting the sweetness if possible. I could tell they use a cookie butter flavored syrup rather than a natural cookie butter. The espresso shots tasted good, but it was overpowered by the syrup. My friend ordered the Banana Foam Latte. She also thought her drink was sweet. The banana foam tasted good, but it disappeared within 10 min. Pricing: Prices are more than average, but I'm not surprised considering they're located on a popular street.

We found it a bit confusing, as they do not serve "drip coffee". The young lady said that we would need to order Vietnamese coffee??? I'm not sure what that means exactly. I prefer half 'n half in mine, but she seemed to only have alternative "milks". We were looking for a traditional cup of coffee, so I'm not sure this is the spot for us.

The prices are so good, so are the prices!! It's great quality coffee and iced drinks!!! The ice lasted longer than the drink without melting! My mom was impressed which isn't easy to do, she loved her Rad berry drink! I got the lavanade and it was very good, nice and tart.

Their menu can be a little convoluted, and the drinks are over the top, but that's also part of the fun--there are a ton of interesting coffee combinations to explore. The staff has always been helpful and it seems like they enjoy working there. I usually gravitate toward the Great White - 32oz is absolutely insane but a must have. If you like your coffee with a little personality (or a LOT of it), Rad is worth checking out.

I got their matcha latte iced with pistachio milk (new addiction) and honey sweetener. Super yummy. It turns out, it really depends on what you add and how you customize the matcha. Their coffee overall is really good though! The environment and space is cool and comfortable. I would recommend to come inside as the outside looks different from the inside which it's more spacious once you get in. Overall I'm around this area a lot and it's a walking distance from where i usually am so I'll be here again:)
