I went here with Debra R and Jose R. We bought a bag of coffee and I got a small latte with lavender syrup. The drink was really good and the customer service was good. This place has really good music. It was the classic rock stuff. The place also has a good atmosphere too. read more

Sheldrake Coffee Roasting - This is my latte drink. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Coffee is bomb. Employees are nice. Manager is rude! Matilda Trunchbull rude! Not sure what she gets out of it. Place can't get much darker.

NO BATHROOM!!! It was my first time here, so the lady barista helped me choose the best coffee for my taste. It was actually very good and the price was right. One problem and it's a big one, NO BATHROOM! I was told there was one at Rite Aid about five blocks down 2nd street. To me this is very very odd for a coffee house, where after downing a large brew you definitely would need to use the restroom. I guess I'll be passing on this place in the future. read more

Great coffee and fresh roasted beans. Also the best roasted peanuts on the planet. Give them a visit!

I come here regularly now and have decided to upgrade my review from 4 to 5 stars because I just love it so much here. There are some new employees who are friendly and are always nice and accommodating when I ask for extra tweaks to my drinks. Also upgrading because I really like their baked goods and LOVE the freshness of their coffee beans. I love trying different blends they are offering. I usually ask for a recommendation on something new to try and have not been disappointed yet. Thank you Pollys for giving me such a great place to relax and get a treat I know I will enjoy. read more

I was randomly in the area and saw a line out front so I decided to try this place. Even during these strange times, the staff kept the line moving quickly and efficiently. What I got: Ice coffee- strong and delicious Cranberry walnut muffin- moist, fresh, generous size and amount of cranberries. A+ I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely come back! read more

roasted in house, so many options! I like to bring different flavors as easy small gifts. anyhow, I think it's the best coffee on second st ‍ & What a sweet heart the owner is. Ps: try the roasted peanuts read more

Spent 20 years at Polly's. Sheldrake's is not Polly's. Mr. Sheldrake verbally assaulted me near the bathroom behind the roaster. After 20 years, verbal assault is no friend of mine Mr. Shelbrake. Verbal assault and finger pointing for an order made well after years of business is less my problem then his. read more

Stopped by here while waiting for my flight. The Cheese Danish is really good. It was so fresh. And it had cherry filling too...delicious. I also grabbed a Macchiato...so good. I got a large and I tried to sip it. But it was too good. Needless to say I drank it kind of fast. read more

Excellent coffee at surprisingly low prices, made by really nice baristas. Polly's has a prime location in Belmont Shore, steps to hundreds of shops and restaurants. The ambiance is homey and unpretentious, and looks like it was decorated by your grandma (in a good way). The interior smells of cinnamon, and the spacious patio is sunny and relaxing. My Iced Americano, which was just $2.10 for a medium, was delicious and perfectly made. A nice medium roast, with the perfect amount of water to coffee ratio. They have soy milk for a non-dairy option. I was disappointed to find that Polly's has no vegan food options whatsoever, unless you want to eat a plain grocery store bagel with no toppings. I hope that they will consider adding some vegan options in the future. All credit cards accepted. read more

Sheldrake Coffee Roasting - Iced Americano $2.10! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Coffee is pretty good. Service was good. Be warned. If you come here for coffee and food. There is NO bathroom. You can't wash your hands. If you need facilities, tooooo bad for you. It's not a place that invites you to settle in. We come to 2nd st every morning but we won't be coming back here. The employees were very very nice tho. read more

Great coffee and super friendly / helpful staff. Music however is TERRIBLE. Please update your music!!!!

Best place to buy beans from in Long Beach!

Love Pollys, my only complaint is I wish there were more locations!! I'm spoiled here and do not want Starbucks or Coffeebean. There prices are great and I love that it's a mom and pop shop. Very homey feel and eclectic decor. I recommend the Chai latte or the San Fransisco, cranberry bagel, or oat bran muffin. read more

Sheldrake Coffee Roasting - Yummy Chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is a cute little coffee shop in the Long Beach Airport. I had the Chai Tea Latte and it was delicious. I didn't try any of the pastries. The service was quick and friendly and is cheaper than Starbucks!! I would defiantly recommend stopping by here to get your caffeine fix before your flight. read more

I figured I had a couple of hours to wait for my flight so I went over to Polly's to have a "real" coffee. I ordered a 12 oz. caramel macchiato and it was delicious. I wasn't expecting such a good quality cup of coffee, but it was delicious and it was priced reasonably. I will definitely come back for another cup when I'm in town. read more

No turkey or chicken options for sandwiches. Paid $9.00 for bagels that were nasty

Best coffee in the airport. But then again it's a really small airport lol. I say check it out. read more

Delicious coffee, great people. Highly recommend this place! love the environment. Wake up people

Wow, the baked goods here are on point!!! We got a rice krispy treat and mixed berry scone. Both were fresh and deliciois. The krispy had wonderful chunks of gooey marshmallows and sprinkles to add some crunchy texture. The scone was SUPER moist and delicious with bites of whole berries and tasty sweet icing on top. Pretty wonderful desserts, seems like they get them fresh from a local bakery daily but didn't catch the name. Definitely way above average for airport food and the prices were great too - total was $6 for both desserts!!! read more

Good service, great tasting coffee, wonderful atmosphere, I recommend you come to this place instead of going to Starbucks. Happy New Year's from BillyBow and Katherine Aguirre. read more

Best coffee I've had since Seattle. The staff didn't mind my particular way of ordering and they fire thier beans. I'll be back. read more

This may not be my favorite coffeeshop in Long Beach, but they do make my favorite cup of coffee in Long Beach. Just because I'm not big on hanging out in this coffeeshop doesn't mean it deserves any fewer stars - because as soon as you walk in and you smell those freshly roasted coffee beans, it's true freakin' love. Eons ago, back in my days of working at Buffalo, the perfect escape was a fresh cup of coffee from Polly's and a superb, 50% off, day-old chocolate croissant. ...in fact, things haven't changed much - that's still one of my favorite escapes. read more

When you open the door and walked into Polly's the whiff of air that breezes past your face smells fracking fantastic! See, Polly's is roasting their own beans and that is a smell that I love. The store reminds me of an old general store you'd have seen at the turn of the century. It's all medium colored wood, old signs, measuring tools, and bags and bags of beans. I'm always a little confused about the ordering process. Do I go to the counter and they make me a drink and then I go to the register, tell them what I ordered and pay? Or do I go to the register, order and pay, and they make me what I want? Usually this ends in me never getting served in proper order of arrival because some people get in line and others order in different places. But, I'm okay with that - I'm here to stop and smell the coffee beans after all. You can also buy the beans and take them home with you if you like to make your own brew at home. read more

What better way to start a long business day of traveling than with a chocolate marble muffin and a cinnamon Carmel latte? The only answer: at home and NOT traveling. However, if you have to travel why not splurge, right? The newly redesigned Long Beach Airport offers substantially better food choices, including Long Beach's own Polly's. I am still full... read more

One day when we were down on 2nd street a colder and rainier day added a romantic touch to the Mr. taking me out on a coffee date. I like my coffee just like I like my men, hot, strong and sweet. I also like my coffee joints just like I like my men, local and independent. Polly's does it right. He could have taken me to any other coffee joint on the street but he knew I would much rather prefer Polly's. So if you are grabbing a cup of joe please try to avoid the big name coffee places and take a chance on supporting Polly's. Grab a cup and take a stroll, it is a perfect way to spend some time with the people you love. read more

I love Polly's! I come here almost every day that I'm in town. Polly's has amazing cold brew coffee. They also sell whole beans that are perfect for grinding and brewing at home. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

The smell of coffee is amazing but the drinks were not good. Iced tea was very watered down and the iced cappuccino only tasted like I was drinking milk. There servers are nice there. Was hoping they would have really good drinks-maybe the server was new? read more

The last time I was here they had a huge line of folks waiting for their planes but the two workers moved through the line pretty quickly. My soy mocha was pretty good but my pastry was better than I was expecting. I had this flat cinnamon swirl bread thing. I'm sure it has a scientific name... something like cinnamonitticus swirlvitu thingy. Who knew Yelpers were so smart? Other times I've been here waiting for a flight the service has been slower than dirt so it's very hit or miss. I've also been underwhelmed by the baked goods on occasion. I'm hoping my last stop here is the way of the future and they're stepping up their game. Meh. read more

Polly's coffee is the best quality in the city. You just can't beat the fresh roast. Every single cup I've ever had was delicious without fail. I'm really glad this place still does ok considering the mass competition of chain coffee joints on this street. If you're at Starbuck's or Coffee Bean on 2nd, do yourself a favor and move down the street a bit and get some quality. I'm knocking off a 1/2 star only because there's not much in the way of cozy seating, just a couple chairs and a bunch of outdoor seats, but on these chilly Spring mornings, the last thing i want to do is shiver while I try to enjoy my cup o' joe. read more

Nice customer service, good cup of coffee. Nice little area to wait, have your coffee and breakfast before walking to the main terminal. People are nice and conversational. The coffee was good. The quick meal danishes and sandwiches were varied as well. Love that there was wifi. read more

Stopped here during a bike ride for an almond milk latte and a raisin muffin. The latte wasn't frothed very well but it was still tasty. The muffin was also good! read more

Sheldrake Coffee Roasting - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Update: after 6 months of not coming in, my usual barista STILL knew my order! Polly's rocks! ______________________________________________________ I started frequenting this place when I finally realized it was the coffee roasting that I smelled every day on my way to work. What a difference fresh roasting your beans makes! The staff there is super nice and polite- they even know my bean order before I make it! The fact that they have a frequent buyers reward program doesn't hurt either. They also have a great selection of coffee makers and accessories, like the burr grinder I bought (which came with a free pound of beans!), and those awesome bodum borosilicate glasses that keep your coffee hot and your hands cool. Something else that's cool: supporting a local business! Highly recommended read more

They have good coffee. For a good price. It's also the only cafe that has free wi-fi on 2nd, which meant a lot to me when I used to walk down there to write my thesis. I half lived on their patio at that time with a cup of iced coffee. I've purchased their ground coffee. They are knowledgeable and helped me out a lot. The mugs they hung are the cutest ever, too. Great for gifts. They even give you a gift receipt. First it might look like they don't have a bathroom, but they do. It's all the way in the back. read more

I wish my income was indexed to their prices. Unlike other commodities, their prices only go up. 12.5 % since last purchase.

The coffee was the harshest that I've experienced in a long time. There was a dog sitting at the table next to me. It yelped nearly the entire time. The food wasn't that great either. It has a great following of seniors. They probably can't taste the coffee, so they don't mind! read more

I have been overlooking this place for a long time, and I have missed out. Because there are so many other coffee joints, I have always been meeting my friends at Pete's or Its a Grind, occasionally one friend drags me to Starbucks because she likes their Scalded McLatte. I went to a local bicycle organizations meeting and finally tried Polly's coffee. Terrific! My muffin was good also. Another yelper complained that the bikers were too loud. I hope this was those old guys who ride motorcycles and try to act cool. If we were too noisy shouting and laughing, I apologize on behalf of the bicyclers. That outside patio is so close to noisy second street, we might have gotten loud. read more

The fact that this place has survived local competition from TWO Starbucks, Peets, Coffee Bean and the now defunct Daily Grind says a lot. I am trying to make for of an effort to come here rather than the other big bad corporate entities on 2nd St. Not only is the coffee not that bad, but they have a delicious pastry section in which the peanut butter cookie is one of our favorites. We went on a Friday night and they tasted they were fresh out of the oven. read more

Polly's should be killing it like no other coffee shop in Belmont Shore. Great coffee. Roasted in-house (no one else does it). Homegrown rep. Nice and helpful staff. Great ambassador owner, an icon in East Long Beach. It's own parking lot(!). It's own outdoor patio (!). And I guess they are doing well. And I'm happy. But they should reconfigure their space. Have the retail counter way farther to the back, facing 2nd St. And have lots of comfortable indoor seating, instead of the 6-10 butt-parking-spots they have now. You know, like a regular successful modern coffee shop. And I say go ahead and slap on an extra 25¢ onto each beverage and product sold, and keep that margin forever for your inconvenience as it affects your production (coffee roasting, packing, etc., as that appears to be what is going on in that real estate right now). Polly's should be the start and end of the conversation when it comes to coffee in Belmont Shore, like Legend's is for sports bars. Let Starbucks and Peet's be second-place alternatives like the other "sports bars" on 2nd are. read more
