    I'm a bit late in posting this, but I had to make sure I gave a shout out to Steelhead Coffee in Long Beach! I stopped by while working in the area with my pup . It was such a beautiful day and we saw this safe and had to stop. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful they even took the time to ask if it was my first time there. My coffee was delicious and the matcha was perfect. A huge plus is how much they love pups; they even had dog treats ready! If you're looking for a dog-friendly spot with great drinks and a welcoming vibe, this is it. Highly recommend for the great energy and top-tier menu items.

    This is a pretty cool little community of eateries made out of steel shipping containers, hense the name, "Steelhead." I had the Chai Latte which was enjoyable. It came out at the right temperature and I didn't wait for it very long. There were two people working, one person to take the order and the other who makes the drink. I would assume that this place gets really busy early in the morning, and the line gets long. There was only 1 person in front me around 9am.

    Apple Butter Latte
    Arturo P.

    Pretty good coffee spot over at the Steelcraft in Long Beach! The staff were very friendly and sweet! They're in a cute little booth at the front on the sidewalk facing the street. We got the Apple Butter Latte and the Cafe De Olla! Both were pretty solid and creamy. The Apple Butter Latte had a good balance too because sometimes the apple flavor throws me off or doesn't taste as good in drinks in my opinion.

    Iced Chai Latte

    This place always catches my eyes when I drive on Long Beach Blvd. so I was super excited to try it with my sister! The Iced Chai Latte was good! I didn't think it was too milky, and the chai flavor was great. The Iced Matcha Latte wasn't good. Judging by the color of it, you already know it will just taste like straight milk or milk with a pinch of matcha. This one tasted like only whole milk. To be fair, it is a coffee place, not a matcha place. My sister said she noticed our drinks were majority whole milk when the employee was making them. The coffee place is so cute! It's super eye catching when you drive on Long Beach Blvd. I would pass it all the time and think about trying it. There's a simple menu, cute merchandise, mugs, and coffee grounds. There's plenty of seating in SteelCraft, and there's tons of other food businesses. The employee was so sweet! She asked if I wanted cinnamon on my Iced Chai Latte, and she made sure if we wanted whole milk with our drinks. I would come here again though! It is called Steelhead Coffee so I do want to try an Iced Vanilla or Caramel Latte next time! Plus, there's plenty of seating and tons of fun foods in SteelCraft!

    Delicious coffee and great service. I'm stoked! I ordered an iced mocha (because peppermint mocha hasn't landed yet) and it's so decadent while still being refreshing and energizing. Nice and quick service, love that the window faces out front and I didn't have to stand in any lines or battle the crowds inside. Woo hoo!

    I ordered the iced matcha latte with oat milk and simple syrup (the barista said it does not come sweetened) but it was not good. It just tasted like watery milk.. i would not recommend it based on the taste and price of it. I did go back and ask if i could just get something else and the barista was super nice and understanding and even offered to remake it! I declined the offer for matcha remake and then got an iced vanilla chai and it was ok.. their chai is not bad it was just on the sweet side. My overall rating Matcha : 0/10 :/ Iced chai : 5/10

    This coffee stand is good, I ordered the orange blossom latte and the sticky bread croissant thing(?), which is kind of like a sweet croissant. The barista gave her recommendation for my drink, which was good, she was great! The drink itself was alittle more on the milky side; that is the only reason why I didn't give this place five stars. Just to make sure I was not tripping, I asked my friend what he thinks about this place without telling him my experience and the first thing he said was their drinks are a little too milky. Maybe they can improve that. This still craft location has shared seating outside, so you will not be able to sit inside. But it's perfect for hanging with friends or even going alone to get some outside studying in, free WiFi, options for food and a brewery.

    Dogulars

    Very chill location, cute pictures of baristas and the "dogulars". Loved the ambiance! I appreciate a coffee shop that has rotating seasonal flavors, but still makes their classics right. Their brown sugar (seasonal) was just okay in my opinion. The cold brew itself was pretty good, not too acidic like other places. As for the service, it wasn't great. The barista working exchanged a minimal amount of words with me, but found the person behind me interesting enough to talk the entire time. 3/5 because it was good enough to spend my money there once, but probably wouldn't come back.

    Iced vanilla latte and iced lavender latte
    Kellie F.

    Literally only popped in due to driving by. The baristas were so sweet and very welcoming. My go to at every new coffee spot to me is an iced vanilla latte. It was great and light. Perfect early morning beverage. My husband went with the lavender latte and it was equally great. Wouldn't be mad if they expanded further away from Long Beach for us IE people....

    A short walk from my old work place, this is a simple outdoor coffee stand serving the usual coffee and tea options, which are all taste great. There's also some easy free parking (along the street or in the adjacent lot). There's never a really long line and the service is quick, especially if you're in a rush. They also have a small selection of pastries but I usually just get my matcha latte. There's an enclosed outdoor seating area if you want to sit and enjoy your drink, while catching up with friends or coworkers.

    One of our favorite coffee shops in LB. The espresso is expertly pulled and their cold brew and pour over selection is also very good. I'm not sure where they source their pastries but they've also been excellent.

    Irish Cream Mocha and Earth Day Matcha
    Vanessa R.

    We came around 10:30 AM on a Sunday, short line and wait. We decided to order off their Special menu and got the Irish Cream Mocha and Earth Day Matcha as well as a Stawberry Cheesecake Croissant. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our drinks and pastry in the seating area that was shaded, but also had a good amount of sun. We were able to watch the basketball game as they streamed it on the TVs. The window where you order is on the sidewalk facing the street. I saw a few customers park right in front and quickly got their orders. It's great for pick up and go coffee! Parking is street parking and lot parking both next to the plaza and across the street.

    Seen this place on the way to my TSA PRE appointment, had to pop by. I met John, he was the cashier, super friendly, super personable. I asked what were his recommendations for first timers. He recommended the vanilla latte and told me they make the vanilla in house with the vanilla beans from Madagascar!! How cool is that!? I also got a blueberry donut he said it's one of their best sellers and they don't always have it but when they do it's a fan favorite. The vanilla latte was delicious, I loved how it wasn't too sweet. It was a bit strong too! The blueberry donut tasted more like a blueberry muffin BUT LIKE a well crafted blueberry muffin! It was delicious, and moist. Not too sweet and the blueberry glaze was flavorful. 10/10 definitely recommend. They have a whole bunch of cute cups and coffee mugs. It was definitely a nice vibe to cheer up a cold gloomy morning.

These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar. The drinks are excessively sweet, a mortal sin by Asian standard, and they have a generic taste that might as well have one item on the entire menu. Alas, to get a sip of the old favorites, now I have to drive across town instead of stop by after work. I am glad that I got my many trips here before the old guards died, and it's probably better for my hemoglobin A1c in the long run.

I also buy their espresso beans because, you know, I can't come here every day lol. And if you buy a bag of coffee, they give you a free drip or iced coffee, which is such a nice little perk! One thing to keep in mind: if you come on a weekend morning, make sure you have a little extra time. The shop itself is pretty tiny, so they only allow about 5-6 people inside at a time, and the line can form outside. That said, they have tons of outdoor seating and even some additional indoor seating right next door, so there's still plenty of space to enjoy your coffee.

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.
