My husband and I enjoy Cyclops coffee and buy it to go and get the beans for our own at-home espressos. 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. This guy was on his A game, multitasking and juggling multiple tasks with perceived ease and being pleasant and accommodating all at the same time. Great job! Your effort is noticed and appreciated. 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 don't like when businesses do that so that would have otherwise been a major ding for me. read more

Excellent cold brew! That's my jam. Great place to pop up your laptop and work! Plenty of seating and outlets. Staff were friendly and overall my experience was great. I got a croissant and they warmed it up for me. It was flaky and good, but wow was it buttery! My fingers were covered in grease and i got it all over my laptop. Oops. 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! read more

Cyclops Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Nice little coffee shop, clean lines, cute, airy decor. Very much a CSULB vibe here. Stopped in early one morning for a "fancy" drink and pastry. Got the Chai latte-good, creamy and frothy and maybe a tad sweet. Lots of pastries to choose from-I got a cinnamon knot to go with the flavor of the chai. Had the knot heated up, and it was delicious-perhaps a tad too sweet. Service was friendly and efficient. A good spot to kill some time. read more

Cyclops Coffee - Chai latte and cinnamon knot. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

This was my first visit to Cyclops Coffee. This whole plaza has been updated with new stores and it looks great. I love the new modern look and the addition of this café. The café has outside and inside seating. I prefer to sit outside since there were a lot of students working on their laptops and I didn't want to cause any distraction since we were there to mingle and chat. Being outside was nice, but you also still have other people seated outside, or in passing. The barista/cashier was friendly, especially when I let him know that it was my first time. He asked me what my likes were and said he can make that for me. I went with a hot honey cinnamon vanilla latte and it was good. It may have needed more to it because it was not flavorful and sweet enough. I couldn't taste the honey or cinnamon. It tastes more like a vanilla latte. But I think this is an easy fix next time I order. They also have a restroom for customers which I visited, and it was clean. There is plenty of parking and this is definitely a college crowd, but welcome to everyone. read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed a pick-me-up! This cafe was recommended to me by two people, and I'm glad! Loved the banana latte! Looking forward to trying more. The end. read more

Came here around 9:30am on a weekday to do some studying and also try their matcha. I gotta matcha latte with oat milk & honey. I would give their matcha a solid 9/10. I love how natural tasting their matcha is. It isn't overly sweet or bitter. I also got a chocolate donut, it was ehhh. It was cold af lol and not worth the price. It was pretty packed in there when it comes to finding a study spot. They do have a decent amount of tables as well as the counter tables. It is not quiet tho, so don't expect a calm, quiet coffee shop. It does get pretty loud in there! read more

Cyclops Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I absolutely love this coffee shop! Not only is it a great place to study because of the cozy ambiance, but the service is always wonderful and their hot herbal teas are so good. I came here often while studying for an exam, and it was the perfect environment to stay focused. Being surrounded by other people working and studying really creates the kind of atmosphere you need to get through long study sessions. Definitely one of my favorite spots to spend a productive afternoon. read more

It's good but not great. I tried them 3 times and every time it was ok but not memorable or anything I would need to pay for again.

Side quest in Long Beach had me dropping by Cyclops for a quick caffeine pick me up. Compared to other coffee shops, it's open late and I appreciate that. Seems like a good spot to do work or just yap with the homies. My bourbon vanilla drink did the job but I just enjoyed the overall atmosphere and late hours. They also sell locally made candles by the register that smell great! read more

Nice coffee shop with unique flavors and takes. The orange blossom latte was delicious, or at least the few sips I stole from my wife was. The stretcher was new to me. Felt like a new take on an iced americano. At least new to me. If I was in the area again, I'd visit to try out the seasonable flavors. read more

Ahh I wanted to like Cyclops so bad, I was so excited to finally try it after hearing great things about it. I'm really hoping I went on an off day. Their drink options are great, I love the creative flavor combinations and I love banana lattes and ube lattes. The cashier was very sweet it was a good start. I decided on the Banana Ube latte- they made me the cookies n cream one accidentally & handed it to me but didn't tell me as I was leaving, I had to come back in and then they said they knew it was supposed to be banana. They remade the other one and let me keep the old one which is nice- but upon taking a sip I was hit with really really sour espresso and graininess that I wasn't sure was coffee grinds or their ube. I couldn't really taste the banana and the espresso tasted bad in each. I unfortunately could not and did not finish either :/ read more

Recently started going here and I am hooked. It honestly never fails me, the ambience is so welcoming from the moment you walk through that door and leave. The staff is always kind. Earlier today I placed an order via their website, but when I got there the parking lot was full. I didn't want to park far since I had both my kids so it's rough getting in and out of the car for something that'll take 10 seconds. I called the location and the employee who answered (I wish would've caught the employees name, he has a sleeve tattoo) was kind of enough to bring my coffee for me. Thank you so much for going above and beyond especially for me as a mama! My drink was also amazing as always, not sure how they always manage to make the coffee taste the exact same as before! read more

I ordered a Matcha Latte for $5.50! That's pretty darn good. I really hope they don't raise their prices. There were a few tables along side the wall, however, they were all taken. It was about 10am when I got there. They also had lawn chairs outside, and since it was a nice day -not too hot- I decided to sit outside. I was comfy. read more

Around 12pm on Tuesday I came here. When I walked in the place was clean and there were many students working with their laptops which is a good sign. I ordered an iced banana latte. It was 8 dollars. It came fast and the guy even walked out from the counter to personally hand it to me. Excellent service. The latte was TOO good. Oh my god it was delicious. It had just the right amount of banana flavoring and sweetness. read more

The service is top notch. The person who helped us at the register was friendly and super helpful. While I was waiting for my matcha she saw a dad with two kids sitting outside on the ground enjoying their treats. She went out and brought them chairs because the other seats were taken. Super sweet and thoughtful! My matcha was delicious. They have the ever so popular vegan donuts my kids love so we grabbed two of those too. There are about 10 tables with chairs inside as well as a counter to sit at towards the back. It's clean and welcoming inside, everything you could want at a little coffee shop. Definitely recommend. read more

Matcha was mid. The barista said it was ceremonial grade but it didn't taste ceremonial grade. It tasted very milky than matcha. Price is a bit more than average so I expected to truly enjoy my drink. Paid $17 for a small and a large matcha. Took a cute picture for aesthetics but it's not that green in person. read more

Came to the area for an errand and decided to stop by for a cup of coffee. I ordered the vanilla iced latte with strawberry cold foam, and wow -- the foam tasted super FRESH. You can actually taste real strawberries and not artificial syrup. The guy working at the front was really friendly and welcoming. I chose this drink because I saw it posted on Yelp, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The only thing I'd change is wishing the coffee flavor came through a bit more, but overall it was really good. The place was clean and cute! read more

Cyclops Coffee - Vanilla Iced Latte with Strawberry Cold Foam & Oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Definitely a coffee date spot. Came later on a Thursday morning and it was livelier than I would have expected: the tables were occupied with lots of friends chatting over their iced lattes. With the clean, warm ambiance of the space, it made me want to stay! Service was friendly and remarkably fast! It took less than theee minutes for my latte to be uttered from my lips to manifested in my hand. $6.50 for a small iced latte with syrup hurts the pocket but it's 2025 and helps the soul, so definitely worth it. I ordered an iced latte with their seasonal banana caramel syrup (funky monkey). The espresso dominates the top half of the drink, which is creamy, smooth, and pretty mild. Once the heavier syrup hits, it's slightly sweeter and somehow richer. Definitely more low-key than some of the banana lattes I've tried recently. I recommend checking this spot out! Bring a friend. read more

I enjoyed my coffee from here. I got a an iced coffee with vanilla, honey, and graham crackers. The front cashier recommended it. It wasn't bitter and had the perfect balance of sweetness. Parking can be a challenge I went early on a Sunday and it was very few spaces. read more

One of my favorite LB coffee spots! Very good espresso. They have Barebells protein bars, which is a nice alternative to baked goods. Lots of seating inside. The parking lot is small, but you can usually find a spot. Super friendly service. Every employee there is incredibly kind. read more

This place has been on my list of local coffee shops to try and I'm glad I finally got to it. The barista was kind enough to help me decide on what to get for my first drink here. He started off by asking if I like my coffee on the sweet or not so sweet side. Going for the not sweet option he recommended the Banana Latte (I've been wanting to try a banana latte) so of course I said yes! The recommendation did not disappoint. The banana flavor is subtle and not overpowering and made a great combination with their blonde roast iced coffee. There were plenty of available open tables on a Sunday around noon. The music was at a nice volume, ideal for a work/study sessions. I will definitely be back! read more

Finally had a chance to stop by Cyclops Coffee, and immediately added it to my list of go-to coffee shops in Long Beach. I love that they carry pastries from Colossus and other bakeries in the area. Sleek quiet space. Some seating inside, more than I've seen in other coffee shops. Parking lot available. Friendly service! read more

Super chill spot. If you need to a quiet place to get work done this is it. All of the tables have an outlet nearby. The coffee is ok as well. The menu is simple and straight forward ie americano/late + sweetener. I'd give a higher rating for more pastry options and more coffee options. Besides that cool spot to get work done read more

A small cafe tucked in the strip mall on Clark ave. Parking may be a bit tricky as the lot fills up quickly (if it's a weekend you can park in the auto shop lot next door) Ambience was nice, it was pretty busy on a Saturday morning with most people getting their items to go, and most tables occupied with guests. Everything overall was clean and well taken care of. I ordered one of their fall seasonal drinks, a brown sugar expresso. It was good, a nice mix of sweet and coffee taste, but not too strong. The drink came mixed so if you wanted a cute pic for insta, you probably won't have. But the taste is what I cared about and that was just right for me, I would probably return to try another seasonal drink as I am a fan of the flavors. They also had plenty of pastries but I didn't try one this time read more

Oh my! Their sticky buns were soooo good!! They were like a croissant mixed with a different pastry. I devoured it! Also had their Lavendar matcha. Very good! They were quick to get us our order. Wonderful place read more

I don't usually post reviews, but this is probably the worst latte I've had in a long time. I knew the moment she handed it to me that it was going to be way too milky. It honestly didn't even taste like there's espresso was espresso in it. I ordered an iced banana latte. I expected a nice banana syrup. Instead, there were little mushy pieces of banana at the bottom of the cup. On top of that, it was really expensive. Never coming back read more

Cyclops Coffee - Worst iced banana latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

*Coffee Shop Challenge #1* My Yelp brother from another mother and I are trying at least 1 new coffee shop a month in our 2025 Yelp resolution. Cyclops Coffee tucked away in a small shopping center in Long Beach. It's easy peasy free parking. The Latte I ordered was a little underwhelming I even forgot to take a picture of it. The coffee/milk ratio was a bit off. I tasted more milk and barely and coffee flavor. It's a nice place to meet up with friends or for a meeting. Time flew by so fast we didn't even know we there for 4 hours! read more

Cyclops Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I tried one of their seasonal drinks, the funky monkey which is a latte with banana and caramel syrup with whole milk. The banana didn't really shine through actually I didn't even think there was banana because of the caramel. To me it was rich and almost a bit too sweet. Banana sometimes can be too much. When I went they had Filipino venders selling baked goods and I thought that was cool because they it local businesses. They have different cold foams and I like the seasonal drinks. I do want to try others or even just a simple drink. Parking is shared among other businesses and there is seating inside and out. read more

Cute spot. I just had an iced green tea. I'd come back. Not much to say about it. Service was good.

Spent the afternoon working here with my friend and her dog :) I forgot what drink I got because the ube cheese focaccia bread stole the show (so good!) but the drink was tasty too and I'll def be back to try more. They also had a pesto focaccia bread I was eyeing but didn't have room to eat anymore. The interior is cute with flowers on the ceiling, merch to purchase, and an overall nice vibe from staff. read more

Cute coffee shop with really delicious drinks. As someone who can't have dairy I really appreciate that they offer vegan cold foam (and that you can add a custom flavor to it). I recently got their drink of the month which was a cinnamon sugar cookie cold brew and thought it was super tasty without being too sweet. Love that they're open early and there's plenty of parking in that plaza. Service has always been friendly and quick. Will definitely be returning and looking forward to continuing to try different things! read more

For whatever reason, it didn't dawn on me that the cafe may be named based on a comic book character, however you see it right away with the artwork displayed inside. There is ample seating with four lounge chairs outside. It's not too loud but does seem to be busy. I got an espresso, as always and let the little one choose a baked good. The sugared looking croissant caught her eye immediately. She did end up gobbling it up. As for the espresso, I would grab another if I were in the area. Definitely not a light roast and had a nice body. read more

Came here before class and the service was just amazing! The coffee was delicious too but I want to highlight how helpful, sweet, and bright the staff was. I was not having a good morning but I had a small interaction with one of the workers (silly one too lol) and it just brightened up my day tbh. I had asked for help on finding something sweet but that would help me wake up too. The cashier recommended the vanilla caramel latte but then she said the vanilla honey latte was also sweet but not as sweet which is why I decided to go with it and wow did not disappoint!! Place is well kept, spacious and it looks like a great spot to sit and study. Definitely coming back again!! Thank you for your great service and coffee! read more

Cyclops Coffee - Vanilla, honey iced latte with oat milk and cold foam + cinnamon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

We like this place. The coffee and espresso quality is consistent and the drinks are well-made including little nutmeg or cocoa dustings on the top. So far I have tried a cortado, a latte, and a cold brew with the "Smashing Pumpkin" pumpkin spice cold foam on top. They have all been solid drinks and I've enjoyed them all. There are small pastries in the case, but not much in the way of food. We like that they have great hours of operation and typically open early and close late in comparison to surrounding coffee and espresso bar options. There is also a reward system where you can earn stars that eventually turn into free drinks later. read more

This is a really neat spot and was the perfect environment to work at and focus. I came here on a Thursday late morning to early afternoon. Everyone in here had a laptop open and was working. Every table had an outlet and the bench seating along the wall has cubby's built in so you can keep your belongings out of the way. The WiFi password was easily posted. I didn't have to get up to find it. I just looked up and it was right where I needed it to be. Bathroom was clean. Parking was fine late morning. By the time 2:30 rolled around and school was out, the lot was full and there were more cars wanting to come in than spots. Overall, great coffee spot! I got the gingerbread latte and it was delicious and made with love! read more

Dropped by to meet up with some friends. Almost all the tables were occupied by people studying/working on their laptops! They have extension cords too so no worries about finding an outlet. Tried their kouign amann and matcha - both were okay (caramel coating on the pastry was chewy though). The service and the barista helping me however was amazing! Would come back! read more

True rating: 4.5 Definitely seeing eye to eye with Cyclops Coffee! I was looking for a good spot to do some work, and a friend had recommended I try Cyclops. What caught my eye is the many spacious tables in this aesthetic coffee shop. And, this trendy spot CLOSES AT 9! It is so rare to find minimalistic coffee shops that don't close before 7PM. I ordered their matcha latte with sugar free vanilla. Flavor was okay, but I felt like that matcha kept separating really quickly (not sure if that's an issue from preparation of the drink or the quality of the matcha itself). However, the barista was cordial and prepared my drink quickly, so can't complain too much. I'm also glad they offer their drinks in 12 and 16-oz sizes. We love options! This an amazing spot to get work done or study for an exam, especially since they have plenty of plugs and, again, close late. Spots like these can feel like a myth or legend, but I can assure you Cyclops is the real deal! read more

Cyclops Coffee - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

In the area and decided to try Cyclops solely for there matcha. I ordered a 16oz iced matcha latte. Drink was priced at 7.50 and they charge $1 for sweetener. A total of $8.50 I was shocked, drink lacked matcha flavor taste like pure milk. Disappointed. read more

I ordered the stretcher, which is an Americano infused with nitrogen. I was so impressed that they offered a nitrogen Americano. I have never been to a coffee shop that makes this. I added sugar-free vanilla syrup. I am very glad that they offered sugar-free options. I thought vanilla enhance the flavor nicely. Barista let me sample the nitrogen cold brew. It had a very smooth flavor. It was probably the smoothest cold brew I've ever had My friend got a vanilla cappuccino with whole milk which he really liked. The highlight of my experience was definitely the kindness of the barista. He provided excellent service and was such a kind person overall. The price was affordable. They accepted contactless payment. It was easy to find parking. There was a restroom available for customer use. they sold merchandise. they had grab and go options. Overall, I was very impressed with this establishment and had a great experience . If they invited me back, I would love to review more menu items! read more
