    Matcha latte
    Grace N.

    Been wanting to stop by Qargo in DTLB for a while since my drive to work few years ago I saw the coming soon sign. But, it took a long time and since it's a really far trek from the WTC to here, and I was usually too lazy to stop by on the way to work by car in the morning, long story short, finally last week was when my colleagues and I stopped by. I have been back again so in total twice. I have been to Qargo in Costa Mesa so I know what to expect. They serve good (Lavazza) coffee and their matcha is pretty good. Their sizing here is great. Great because they literally have jumbo sizes. Matcha is decent here. Hard to get good matcha in the walking distance in DT... so this and rose park I think are my go-to for good quality matcha. Their pastries are good too, especially when warmed. Lots of seatings inside, not sure about parking since we did not come by car.. But it's DT so, you know what to expect.

    Matcha not mixed well before serving

    It is a nice modern style coffee shop on a very busy corner in Long Beach. Great music playing and staff that is friendly and nice when you enter it is a nice open concept and great respect to art and architecture. The food is very nice and fresh. The espresso and specialty drinks are very refreshing matcha is normally not sweetened but it can be just make sure you get the correct amount for preference. It could have been mixed a bit better before serving to avoid lumps . The toasted foods were very good in flavor and fulfilling as well. Overall nice place with friendly staff will be coming back 4.5/5

    Good coffee! Came here while heading to Eggbred for food. I parked along ocean blvd, street parking. Parking might be difficult to find. I ordered the iced mocha ($6.25) and coffee eclair ($5.45). I thought it was pretty good, nice local coffee shop. They have lots of pastries but they're a bit pricey. Interior has nice modern wooden look. The couch was hard and doesn't have much cushion. I would like to see a trash can by the door along Ocean Blvd. I had to walk to the other side of the coffee shop to throw my straw wrapper. Would definitely come back.

    I will start this review by making the obvious comparison: this place feels like a fancy Italian Starbucks. When I say fancy, think more comfortable living room, of a middle-class person, please do not think fancy like Pavarotti's living room which I assume has a baby grand and couches made with Italian leather, the same kind use for a Lambo. This place just gives a crumb of vibes of the Amalfi coast gone business casual, which is enough because other chain coffee houses do not help one travel to the boot shape country of Europe. I entered to grab a coffee at a nearby business, where I was getting a breakfast sandwich, the joint did not have coffee that was special, just black to be enhanced with Splenda and half-half, and I get that enough on normal weekdays. I was helped by Isabella, a sweet person, who was kind enough to invite me back again, after she learned that it was my first time. This gesture seems small but in reality it is hospitality in a phrase, which reminds me of a Japanese proverb: A kind word can warm three winter months. I got a regular latte, and Isabella listed the various syrups available. She went down the line deep, I think I remember that are common like vanilla and caramel and others that seemed more original to a coffee chain, like pistachio, and others felt tropical like mango. The coffee distinguished itself enough to be remembered as delicious but not well enough for me to know that I had gulped pistachio instead of slurped it, as when I have pistachio ice cream, or munched as I have when I have pistachio nuts, straight out of the shell. But still it was grand coffee, again better than one can get at other similar coffee houses, but, truth be told, I have had coffee from other chains that was steadfast in its roasted glory, which I will not name out of respect for this exxperience, but, the extra x in the word experience is a hint. :-) What was wonderful about this house, again, was the elevated comfort that this place offered. The wood wave wall, which I and other Yelpers have captured, felt more artistic than a design choice. I do not want to over hype this place, but I feel like I have seen something similar- to these wood waves- at an LA museum, perhaps the Broad, or the Moca. And atop these waves was the phrase- empowering the creator. I never wanted to write a screenplay or the next summer beach book but the message made me feel like this place can help me do just that--- someone give me a brush and a color palette I think I want to paint sunflowers on a vase! The couches seemed plump and they made me want to be a cat--- a feline with the famed ability to stretch and rest, without worry or woe in its mice-filled head. The selections of baked goods, seemed sophisticated. For example, they offered French Macarons, Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, Tiramsu, Chocolate Ganache Cake and other items that all seemed special, and like a treat that elevates a typical day to one that I can claim to be special. I can imagine, that when I was younger, less informed, more broke, more open to wonder, I would have plastered my face into the display and spend minutes trying two decide the two pastries that will allow myself to feel Parisian and decadent. This place had a lot of small touches that were stylistic choices to make this place a stroll for the eyes, which is great because it gives one something to do as they wait for their food. I completely forgotten that Reese Whitherspoon had a book club, but this place spotlighted one of her recent pics--- I accidentally deleted the book, but the place reminded me that not only Oprah or Rory had books to recommend to the caffeinated masses. I also liked the gray-green pumpkin. Another touch to remind us all that this place was fresh in its take on what a coffee house should be, and that take was fancy can be accessible to the average creator! of art, in its many forms.

    Julia caught my custom iced latte order was basically a white mocha & rang it up that way to save me money! Perfect drink & ocean view!

    Julia (the manager) caught that my custom iced latte order was basically a white mocha & rang it up that way since it costs less! Perfect drink, ocean view across the street, great service. My new regular spot!

    Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and--most importantly--excellent coffee. Their cold brew is on another level and easily outshines other coffee shops. Highly recommend.

    A palatial coffee haven. Ceilings within a sniff of the clouds themselves. Palatable decor aesthetic devoid of painful puns, godawful shiplap, or calculated kitsch. There are so many places to sit here. I almost felt rude only having the one set of glutes to park. Seating problems haunt coffee shops, but not Qargo. They understand chairs here. The staff is absolutely on their coffee game. Julia made a point to ask me what type of milk I wanted in my mocha for health reasons, etc. She conducted herself like a legitimate bean roasting queen. I do not know what that last sentence means, but she makes a point to do her job well. I think that is why so many busy professionals drop by this venue to have coffee & read email. Oh yes, the mocha tasted like milk & coffee & chocolate mixed together.

    Never actually got the $7.40 drink i ordered. Firstly, no vegan brekky options? NONE? no oatmeal? no fruit bowl? its 2025 and it's the easiest thing in the world to provide at last one vegan-friendly option when you have 12 regular options, not counting the pastries. they also upcharged me for oatmilk without disclosing the upcharge verbally or on their menu. I only realized it because I asked for a receipt after noticing the total was higher than expected. also, let it be known that i ordered at 9:48, it's currently 10:03 and i don't have my drink yet. I unfortunately need to head out to see my partner cross the marathon finish line, it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to make ya girl a smoothie. literally could not have been a worse experience :(

    One of my fave LBC coffee shops. Great location, friendly service literally always every time. they recently made me the perfect chai latte I've never had a better one and I've been drinking them for 20 years, it was the perfect amount of spice & sweet.

    Food is amazing , service is great as well, and the whole vibe is also A1. Not to mention Julia and her amazing customer service..

    I walked here one weekday afternoon after visiting a friend who lives a couple blocks away. If you don't live or work nearby or aren't enjoying the beach across the street...good luck finding parking; it looks to be near impossible. The interior is modern and visually stimulating. There's a good amount of seating inside and a small patio outside. I purchased an iced vanilla latte and a warmed chocolate croissant. They offer several boba teas, one of which my friend wanted, but was told they were out of boba! So she ended up getting a plain iced tea which she didn't care for. We sat out on the patio to chat over our drinks. The vanilla latte was good; above average but nothing spectacular. The croissant was small but great; fresh with plenty of chocolate inside. Better than Starbucks. But honestly most places are.

    It's been so long since I had delicious coffee!!! Qargo Coffee is absolutely the best coffee shop in Long Beach! The staff is friendly and the baristas are knowledgeable. Ambiance is chic and cool, definitely will be our new spot in town!

Nonna has become our go to bakery, our sweet retreat, and one of our favorite local brunch spots. Now, they even have happy hour and, during the summer, dinner (Nonna Summer Nights)! And all of the food is amazing. Seriously, truly legit! We buy bread from there each week. No more "big box store" bread you freeze. They make their bread fresh daily. They only use fresh, locally sourced ingredients with no preservatives. It's nice to look at an ingredient list and not see a paragraph for bread (and be able to pronounce all the names!). And their cupcakes and sweets. Yo, seriously so good. And the thing is, because of the ingredients they use, we don't feel heavy or overly wired after eating cake or cupcakes from them. From other places you can tell they use preservatives, refined sugars, processed ingredients. But with Nonna, you can just taste the difference. We even had them make our special cake for our wedding! We recently tried their dinner (twice!) and it exceeded expectations. Now, mind you, all of their food has always been good but our experience was amazing. Their prix fixe menu was well put together, wine pairings on point, dessert was also delicious. Our favorite was the tiramisu! Also loved the spaghattini and casarecce pastas, and entrecôte di manzo, but everything was great. Their brunch is also great, you really can't go wrong on the menu. And I think we've gone through almost all of it! Finally, (if you've stayed with me this long!) the absolute best thing about Nonna for us is the TEAM. Hands down no question. The food is good, space is a comfortable neighborhood vibe, and all that. But truly the folks here are amazing humans. Always friendly, warm, and welcoming. If the management team is reading this, you all have a great group of people there! We will definitely be back (again and again and again) and you should too!

My qualm about Nonna's is this: Baked goods already purchased cannot be eaten at dining table. So with that said, you're eating Baked Eggs with 2 small slices of bread that is not enough...and they will not let you grab a piece of bread you just bought at their bakery to dip into the egg sauce. WTH is that logic???? Honestly, not cool. And their bread is HELLA EXPENSIVE. If I'm going to buy your expensive bread and pay to sit at your table, WHY CANT I EAT THE BREAD I JUST BOUGHT? Makes no sense!! So now I make my own Baked Eggs and my own bread. I can eat as much as I want. 4/5 for Baked Eggs 1/5 for their bakery policy
