Confidential Coffee

My girlfriend and I were looking for a caffeine boost to get us through Sunday when we stumbled…read moreupon Recreational Coffee in Downtown Long Beach. A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

The location itself is fairly small, and parking can be a little rough since it's in a popular area with limited metered parking. It's probably not somewhere I'd personally plan to sit and hang out for a while, but they do offer online pickup through DoorDash, and the service was quick (for reference, I went at around 8:45am on a Sunday). The employees were also friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What really stood out to me was the flavor! The drinks are rich, flavorful, and really well-balanced. It's not bitter, overly sweet, or too plain. Everything we tried tasted consistent and intentional. The prices are a little on the higher side, but based on the quality, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the matcha, or even to just try something new on the menu!

This review, however, is motivated out of my desire to offer major props to the young man - I think I overheard something like Sip? - working this morning.

Thanks for that. Had it not been for this (and their delicious pastries), I'd give Cyclops a 3 - 4 stars because I have a real bone to pick with paying for a larger Americano and getting the same number of shots regardless.

I wish they had a bigger selection of pastries. I got there at around 11 and their case was pretty bare. Usually my go-to stop in Long Beach for coffee because it's super convenient to get to, but parking can be tough!

It included bacon, egg, cheese, and brown beans and comes with a side of salsa. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, and I was still hungry after. It seems as though it's a premade burrito and they just heat it up. I would say skip the burrito just get the coffee. 8.2/10

The low rating is for the horrid and hostile service provided by one of the "baristas" The woman who attended to me did not seem to be happy therefore she had a sour attitude. No greeting upon entering or leaving the premises. Only a "what can u get for you" and a "ok" at the end. No eye contact either. She was also in her phone when I entered the store and seemed unhappy because I interrupted whatever she was doing online. She was the woman with lots of tattoos and a weird nose piercing . This occurred on Wednesday the 2nd of September at around 3:40 PM. I can't understand why would she choose to work in the hospitality business when she clearly demonstrates that she is not good at it and willing to perform her job duties with integrity and dignity. Coffee is very good but services lacks the art of good customer service. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I've been here every day since it opened that the staff already knows me by my name. The owners are so nice and welcoming and seem to really know what they're talking about. I normally drink tea everywhere I go, but I finally decided to branch out and I had their mazapan latte. SO GOOD. Reminds me of my childhood. It wasn't overly sweet. I was able to taste the coffee and they topped it off with some shaved abuelita chocolate, which provided great aromatics. Amazing coffee all around. I am so excited they are finally open! I had to create a Yelp account just to give them a review! lol! Everyone needs to come here and hang out. A lot of seating. Big communal table. A lot of outlets. Free Wi-Fi. Just great. Welcome to the neighborhood, Confidential Coffee! We love you already! read more

Finally an amazing coffee shop about 5 minutes away from my house! I had their cajeta latte over ice. At first I was kind of skeptical because I'm an avid coffee drinker and don't like my coffee sweet. But it was perfect. The cajeta latte was not too sweet. I could definitely taste the cajeta after taste which was great because it did not interfere with the coffee taste. Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. They have a big communal table that is great for big groups. One thing that I really loved is that they had electrical ports everywhere!! Which is very important to me because my laptop is always dying. Overall was an amazing experience. Coffee was great, staff were beyond amazing and helpful. You can tell they take pride in their product. read more

This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming--they truly make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. One of the coolest features is the chalk wall, where customers can leave fun messages or drawings, adding a personal touch to the cozy atmosphere. They even have board games available, which makes it a great spot to hang out with friends or just unwind. And the music? Always on point, with the perfect blend of chill and upbeat vibes. Highly recommend stopping by for great coffee and an even better experience! read more

I've been a patron of Rose Park Coffee Roasters on 4th Street in Long Beach, CA for a little over…read morea year now, and all of my experiences have been very pleasant so far. I don't drink coffee at all, so I will typically order a water when I drop in, and that's more than enough for me as I'm typically only working on small assignments or reading for a couple of hours anyway. Regardless of how busy it might be on any given day, I'm always acknowledged and greeted with a warm welcome as soon as I walk in. A simple greeting may seem like a no-brainer in a customer service environment, but not every employee greets customers when they drop in - so it's much appreciated to the Long Beach staff. The café isn't big, but the interior is very quaint and homey, so I generally prefer to snag a seat indoors when I am around. The music isn't oppressively loud like at most Starbucks in my area, so I really appreciate that as someone who is likely working, reading, or doing both when I do hit up a café. While I can't offer any insight into the quality of coffee, lattes, etc. I can vouch for Rose Park in LB if you need a low-key spot to relax or get some work done.

The interior space itself is nicely designed and cozy, providing a comfortable environment alongside a selection of tabletop games you can play with others. Usually I'm finding myself stopping by in the morning hours, typically just before 11:00 AM, which is a good time to experience the space. Their drink menu stands out due to a wide variety of options, with the strawberry latte being a personal favorite. It is a well-crafted choice if you appreciate distinct flavor selections that aren't overly common. For those who prefer to sit outdoors, the patio area attracts a lot of local birds, adding a quiet, natural element to the atmosphere. When ordering a coffee to go, they place a small hummingbird sticker on the cup, which is a subtle and thoughtful detail. One practical thing to note for future visitors is that the café does not have a dedicated parking lot, so you will want to plan for mostly street-side parking when you arrive. Overall, these small touches, combined with the layout of both the indoor and outdoor spaces, make it a solid, dependable spot to revisit whenever you are in the Long Beach area.

As I was paying for my drink, the lady mentioned to me there was a 2 hour limit of using wifi and being at the location. I understood. As I was sitting typing my paper out, the front counter asked me for my name as she was looking for it on the register to see the time I got there and I said "I've only been here for 30 mins" she then responded "no, I just want to see if you were missing an item" and I then responded "no it was just a coffee. I'm okay thank you" she then she proceeded to ask me for my name again. She then remembered. Mind you I had only been in this place for 40 mins because I checked the time it charged my card. She then called a worker and talked about me with him while giving me a look. I told her what was the issue here? If I had only been here for 40mins and there's a 2 hour policy. She then proceeded to say "this is a family business and I should respect my elders" so my guess would be she is the owner of this coffee shop. She refused to give me her name after I asked her for it and I said then why ask for mine?. Asking for respect goes both ways and as an owner, you shouldn't make customers feel unwelcomed or pressured to the time they are there for especially if they've only had 30 mins at the place. Never did I disrespect her, but I will not tolerate feeling unwelcomed at a place that I have given them my money too & get talked about or get dirty looks too. Hopefully they take this review into account to never talk about a client in-front of the client. Especially, giving them looks leading them to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. As I am reviewing the reviews, it seems like there has been more than one encounter like this as to feeling unwelcome by the owners themselves. If you want to read more, scroll down and look for Selina's comment from 12 days ago. It also seemed like the mom wanted to record me too. Because she took out her phone. I also want to make a note that I left immediately after feeling uncomfortable and asking for this woman's name. I expressed to her that I was not going to stay, but I would like her name to make a review about this. She refused I said okay and left.

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.
