    Orange Ave
    Vala R.

    I haven't been in a long time, but Steelhead remains super cute. Service is always great and their baristas are generally friendly and entertaining. I visited most recently for the LBFSW - Orange Ave Cold Brew. It was so good, I went back 3 days in a row.

    Orange blossom latte
    Angeline N.

    This was one of the stops during my friend and my LB coffee tour and I was not disappointed! The baristas were so nice and friendly and I loved the decorations inside. I saw a few people in there studying and I could definitely see myself doing work there too. For my drink, I got the orange blossom latte. Definitely not the smoothest coffee I've tried, but their syrup was so fragrant and fresh and is unlike anything I've ever tried! I'd probably come back to try their other syrups!

    Great place. Plenty of room in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell us please use as good being the barista and know what they're doing. These were amazing the vanilla espresso, especially had a great cherry cold foam on top. The orange blossom latte was really good to see good distinctly taste the orange in the coffee and milk combined.

    Their mocha is my favorite rich, smooth, and so different from other cafés I've tried. Great coffee, friendly service, and a cozy spot I keep coming back to.

    Drink and food was delicious. I would definitely go back, wish I was closer but I'll make the drive. The almond pastry was the best pastry I have ever had. It was soft and sweet and filled with this sweet cream and almond shavings.

    Whenever I'm near Long Beach Airport, Steelhead Coffee is definitely one of my favorite stops. It's easy to access, and the service is always great. The staff is cordial, respectful, and genuinely helpful. If you ask for recommendations, they won't hesitate to point you in the right direction. I also appreciate that their oat milk lattes don't contain sunflower seed oil, which is a big no-no for me. On top of that, they make their syrups in-house, which makes the experience feel even more special.

    This is a nice little local coffee shop. It's cute inside. They have a fairly robust menu. The service is really good, even though there was only one woman working there. I met a friend there. She like what she ordered, as didI. I'd come back again.

    Iced honey matcha latte
    Janet T.

    Such a cute coffee shop! We stopped by here on a whim after an appointment, and I will say the store is very esthetically pleasing! There's a lot of natural light and the decorations are very earthy and inviting. Their baristas are super kind and patient. They recommended the honey matcha latte, which was supposedly customers favorite. The honey matcha latte was very refreshing. It wasn't too sweet and the matcha was on the lighter side. There's a small parking lot to the left of the shop. It is spacious enough to hang out at or do some work. Very quiet on a slow day.

    I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and it was enjoyable. The service was prompt; the shop is small, but clean and quiet. The parking lot is located adjacent to the coffee shop; it is a small lot, be careful going in and out.

    From the moment we got in, we were welcome with s smile. They have s small parking on the side and plenty of street parking. The decor is very clean and pleasant. My friend and I had coffee and catch up on an upcoming project. The atmosphere is so nice and relaxing, totally made me forget about the rain. The coffee was smooth and DELICIOUS, I didn't even added sugar. Highly recommended!!!!

    Matcha Latte
    Jaeden Y.

    Super cute aesthetic but I've been here a couple of times now and haven't been too impressed with the drinks. Our barista was super friendly and helpful in her recommendations so service was perfect! Drinks came out quickly. A good amount of seating is available for being such a small place. I ordered the matcha latte with almond milk and since it doesn't come sweetened, I opted for vanilla flavoring. The portions here are tiny. They charge $1 for milk alternatives which is normal but the $0.75 for vanilla flavoring that I couldn't even taste was crazy. The matcha was good though, tasted good quality. But I was pretty disappointed in my drink overall. I wish it was sweeter but it was just matcha water unfortunately. 3/5 Overall, service and vibes are great here but drinks are okay. This place may be more catered to people who like their drinks simple and strong not so much for those of us who like sweet and flavored drinks so unfortunately it was a miss for me.

    Great coffee spot! Perfect service, delicious coffee, affordable with lower prices then nearby coffee places. Open and spacious, with beautiful light. Lots of seating, with beautiful window tables as well as a new back section with comfy booths. This is a great place to spend a few hours reading or working. The barista was friendly and made the best latte I've had in a long while. They're also adding a juice bar soon.

    Yup this is some good cold brew. I don't have much else to say about it. The pulls are pretty good though.

First it's 7:30pm, planned on ordering a matcha and the person at the register informed me that there was "No coffee or tea after 4pm" so I choose to order a non alcoholic beverage and maybe something to eat and cashier or owner, whoever this person was tells me if I plan to work because it becomes a "laptop free zone" after 4pm. Odd behavior to tell someone what they can and can't do at an establishment considering it's called a coffee AND wine bar. Maybe this is something to advertise on your yelp and website but a "laptop free zone" after 4pm is pretty ridiculous for potential customers who were just looking to eat and work. I almost feel like he just told me that because I was going to order a salad and a non alcoholic beverage and wasn't planning on ordering much. As the other 1 star reviews mention "pretentious behavior" so it's either the cashier or whoever it was is being pretentious as others mentioned or RACIST... Kinda odd to dictate what I do on my own accord while I'm a patron at your establishment. If I ordered food and a drink but chose to open my laptop, are you going to ask me to leave? Doesn't really seem customer centric. Considering that I've worked on my laptop at dine-in restaurants, it's pretty odd behavior to display. Also, considering that this is not a club, and there's no live music, and there were only 3 people sitting in there, I think I would have been fine to sit there quietly in a corner with my laptop. 1 star for the experience and weird behavior. Like I said it's either pretentiousness or racism but weird behavior nonetheless.
