Hot Java located right on the corner of junipero & broadway. There's no parking but Bixby park is right across the street. I tried the iced caramel macchiato with oat milk & whip cream (I think there's an extra charge for whip cream) but don't quote me on that. The restroom was not busy at all considering it was busy inside the lobby. It's pretty big on the inside. My drink was so delicious that my husband drank most of it so next time he is getting his own. Nice and friendly service all around. Will be back :) read more

Came in here a couple times. Got the vanilla latte. Decent. But the staff are really nice. A very welcoming environment for a neighborhood coffee shop. I'll be back for tea or their baked goods. read more

This is the perfect coffee place after yoga. The coffee was excellent and they have a nice selection of pastries (croissants muffins and parfaits and fruit. The inside is bigger than expected and they have a nice patio for you and your pooch. read more

The coffee was good and the lady who took my order was nice, but the store has an offensive sign on its door. Actually 2, but I only took one picture. read more

Super cute cafe across the street from Bixby Park. Love how it's not overly busy and I can come in and do some work while sipping on a delicious matcha latte. No dedicated lot but ample street parking. Friendly service. Lots of great drink choices. Also, bonus points for a clean bathroom. read more

Hot Java is such a gem in Long Beach. The seating is amazing--super comfortable and inviting, whether you're meeting a friend or just enjoying some quiet time. Their iced caramel macchiato with oat milk is an absolute delight--perfectly balanced, smooth, and refreshing. You can really feel the local charm here. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend! read more

Update: if it wasn't for the ambiance is would probably drop it to 3 stars, but i do love walking in here. average coffee shop with solid pastries and amazing ambiance The ambiance is beyond wonderful. And this is a really great place to study or meet people. It reminds me of bhutan or Nepal and really calming. Baristas are sometimes friendly sometimes not, nothing to really write home about in either direction. The coffee and espresso are starbucks level average (and starbucks prices for not great coffee). High acidity but not in a balanced way with a watery espresso. Pastries remain amazing. It's not a bad spot, and great for group hangs but I wouldn't go out of my way per say. read more

I lived right by here and have been a few times. The people are always quite nice and the space itself is clean and cozy. The coffee is ass though. Like it's just bad. As a nescafé drinker I am notttt picky. Very rarely do i decide to spend more than 5 dollars on a drink.. (let alone $8+ for a medium coffee which is sort of ridiculous in its own way). Got a speciality Flaming Mocha coffee. Didn't taste like coffee, or mocha, or the supposed flame (cayanne pepper)... just straight up watered down milk. I usually stick to the basics if i decide to buy a coffee but even then they tend to disappoint. I'm more confused than anything about how a nice space like this makes such bad coffee. read more

So I've been trying every coffee shop in Long Beach. This one is located on Broadway and junioeto Ave near the beach and the park. There's street parking and free wifi. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They got table, counters, and couches. They got a couple of outlets. They use more natural lighting and the door is open, so if you have any allergies, this might not be the place for you. I love that they allow dogs in here and have treats for them. I noticed the crowd in here is more older. They are LGBTQ friendly business. The staff is pretty efficient. I love how they have local art where you can buy and follow the artist. I do like how they close later than the other shops at 6 pm. It did start getting business around 4 pm but during lunchtime it was pretty empty. Also, the pastries are gone in the display. The price for coffee is pretty affordable for about $5ish. I got the iced Mexican mocha as they recommended that being 1 of the most popular item. It's pretty light. Why they lost points is that this cough needs more shots because I'm struggling to stay awake and I keep yawning, so there's not enough caffeine, which rarely happens to me. The other deduction is that the bathroom floor is dirty and needs to be mopped. If there was an option, I would have given this place a 3.8. read more

Nothing special, just your classic coffee and pastry's. Danishes used to be a lot better, but lately I feel like they went down in quality. This is more of an all rounder issue than anything on their part though. They love dogs at this place, so if you have a furry friend be sure to bring them. The place is dimly lit and quite enough to study at, there are also some lounge chairs by the front. read more

I've been meaning to try this spot for a minute now. I got an iced mocha that was SO DELICIOUS. The coffee and flavor balance was perfect. I felt so safe inside and it was nice and chill. I can't remember the name of the person who helped me out but they were super helpful and informative. Definitely coming back soon! read more

Cute neighborhood shop but I paid $11 for a medium skinny vanilla latte with almond milk......

Edit: If it wasn't so expensive I'd given 5 stars. I absolutely love this coffee shop, it's very nostalgic for me. Free Wi-Fi, totally unpretentious and the vibe is solid. It's like the opposite of lala land type coffee shops, very old school Long Beach. The coffee is so good, my personal favorite is the Mexican mocha but today I had a dirty chai with coconut milk. Note to self: if you can leave a tip in cash that's better, I don't trust those machines just saying because wow I opened my banking app and was like did I spend $8 for a latte or were there some hidden fees :p read more

This is my neighborhood coffeeshop and I really appreciate this spot. I have come here many times for treats, coffee, and bagels. My go to drink is a caffeinated-extra red eye (either hot or iced) and I do love their danishes. They are so sweet and delicious; love the cheese danish. All the staff are always so sweet here and the indoor space and outdoor patio is easy to work from. Service has always been with a smile and I feel like the staff member have gotten to know my daughter in the times I've come in, so it makes me feel like home everytime I treat myself here! read more

I have found my favvvvorite little treat drink here recently, having been an an on and off visitor of Hot Java for a year or so now. I am not a huge coffee buff but have been pining for the Java Blasts (think coffee slushie!) almost daily now because they remind me of a special drink from a spot back home! I love getting the vanilla chai with almond milk and you have the option to add espresso shots or cold brew, but I always opt out. I also really love the bagels and cream cheese here every once and a while for breakfast! They have a large menu of coffee and tea drinks, juices and lemonades too, specials are a lot of fun and a few light bites and snacks as well. They are LGBTQ friendly, close to the park and beach and have indoor and outdoor seating, and a fireplace! Very work space friendly as well although I recently noticed they knixed the couches in place of more tables. I always walk here but there is street parking avail! Next time pop in and try a java blast! read more

Love everything here, from the casual atmosphere, the muffins/breakfast food, and of course ... the coffee! Everything is ready fairly quickly, and I find myself enjoying speaking to the baristas (who all genuinely seem happy to be working there)! The tofu scramble on Sundays has been a go to, along with their many sugar free syrups you can add to your coffee. They have a great location on the corner, and a short walk to the beach. Plenty of spaces to sit and work, as well! read more

A lovely little neighborhood cafe near a park in Long Beach! I love how spacious and homey this cafe feels; they have couches and plenty of seating. Hot Java is ideal for large groups and if you want to do work in a group. The last time I came here, a group of eight people was at a table talking for a meeting. I also enjoy how they have a big screen to go outside, where you can feel a fresh breeze inside! It gets a little chillayy so bring a jacket during the Winter/Spring! The coffee here isn't the best, their Skinny Vanilla Latte is their most popular latte and it's okay. Instead, I order an iced oat latte and that does the job. Looking at their food selection, they always seem to run out every time I go! I understand I may get there later in the afternoon, but the food I order is frozen and not fresh. Lastly, their restrooms are musty, and smells like fermented urine every time I go in! They seriously need to deep clean the restroom. read more

We come here once a week while our kids are in class and it's a great place to chill and watch the dogs. Don't be in a rush and you'll love the vibe. Is it the best coffee in LB probably not but it's one of those local places where people connect and enjoy each other read more

Ordered a large quantity of hot chocolate for an event at the church down the street. Not hot! Basically spent $150+ for chocolate milk. Never again! read more

Great location. Came in for some coffee and pastries but left unsatisfied. The inside seating was spacious however the customer service and coffee/pastries were mid. The baristas need some training on greeting customers and making customers feel welcomed. The croissant was stale... the coffee we ordered were incorrect from a misunderstanding but the barista was very sweet about it. One added star for that. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return. Didn't finish the coffees or the croissant.. in the trash it goes! read more

DO NOT COME IN TO SIT AND RELAX IN PEACE AND QUIET!! *those days are gone* DO NOT COME THINKING THERE IS PARKING!! *THERE NEVER IS!* DO COME HERE FOR A QUICK DRINK ON THE GO!! FOR AMAZING STAFF WHO WILL MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOMED!! HOWEVER the general vibe is not what it use to be or SHOULD BE.. Use to be a great spot to feel safe in. It's lost that touch in the last couple years.. being a gay autistic man in the middle of downtown LB and wanting to have a first date, Hot Java was my go to.. *public space that WAS respectful..* now dealing with a specific regular customer who has almost tripped me from rushing to a seat before i could leave table more than once.. dogs barking over conversations. kids being kids *no fault to them, but the parent/gardian is different..* im autistic with incredibly sensitive hearing, i understand being busy.. but i HATE this is considered a "KIDS and animal friendly" spot. i wish this was an adult hangout more than a "bring your family" with it being a crampt spot. read more

I've been here a few times and it has been a good experience until my latest visit. Coffee was good, I came to study with my friend and the tables were sticky so we had to ask for a rag to clean it. Also asked for cookies to be warmed up & they came out burnt. The environment was friendly however the only people talking in there was the two cashiers. One of them was sweet and the other seemed bothered when I asked for a rag. Restroom had no soap. I left one of my belongings and tried calling but their phone is out of service. This is a good coffee shop with a great location but I believe they could do a bit better. read more

Staff has always been super rad. And their Dirty Bi Chai with oat milk is hands down my favorite coffee drink in the LBC right now.

Great service & coffee. Very lively. Breakfast burrito killed my hard-on for the place. read more

I try to give this place a chance .. every 4 months or so because it's close to me . However I'm always disappointed . The best thing I've had here is the vanilla late , and it's just decent. Whenever I've politely asked for something to be changed , it's not received positively and barista seems annoyed . read more

Great coffee, great staff, but a medium for $8 (including small tip) knocks the great down to a maybe. The location is perfect, but the economy might bury them at these prices. I'm afraid that the recent price increase will end up resulting in less tips for the staff. Feels no win read more

Great vanilla iced lattes! Only 4 star because I'm not a fan of the oat milk they use but the rest was great! Price is amazing and so was there fresh bagels. read more

I'm really impressed by their food menu. Have had the opportunity to visit on a few Sundays and their brunch menu is very good. My go to is the breakfast tacos, which comes with a choice of black beans, fruit cup, or 3 slices of bacon for a side. Bacon medium, please. Also have had a panini and the avocado toast. Recommend the avocado toast over the panani, though the chipotle turkey bacon panini does come with a decent amount of meat. Coffee is ok, though I much prefer Lord Windsor. Some of the specialty drinks, particularly the mexican mocha, are worth it. Do it for a picnic outing in Bixby Park next door. And enjoy. read more

Walked in and patiently waited on a easy Sunday morning to be serviced by the gentlemen at the counter. I didn't expect to be greeted due to him being with another person; He was mid conversation with a friend/regular patron of java. No problem on my part, I'm taking in the space as it is my first time and just enjoying the morning. He finishes his conversation then proceeds to ignore me and hurriedly walk off without acknowledgment or to say another person will help me. I don't want to say it was a race issue but I definitely did not feel welcome....:( I'm sure the coffee is probably great but will just grab coffee at "The Library coffee shop" down the street instead. read more
