Definitely seems like it is a well loved coffee shop in the Long Beach community. I tried their einspanner latte absolutely delicious and presentation of drink. The only thing is it's difficult to find parking so definitely one of those spots to find parking and chill and sit to enjoy the drink. Other than that would come back. Note: I did not see a bathroom not sure if you have to ask or if they don't have one for public.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Very popular modern Asian coffee and tea joint…read more It always seems busy in here with CSULB students, and justifiably so. The store is clean, cute and bright, and I love their Asian-centric offerings. I tried the Egg coffee recently and it was fantastic--so strong. I've also tried one of their matcha drinks a while back and really enjoyed it. You won't find some of the more traditional espresso drinks here, but the staff are always very friendly and the prices are reasonable for the quality.

Colossus new dinner menu did not disappoint…read more We ordered the meatballs, steak Frites, and half Caesar roasted Mary's chicken. Everything was also yummy. The staff was very attentive and sweet! We will be back! Highly recommend checking it out

Went to Colossus's first night of dinner service. Everything was very solid... I have a ton of…read morecaveats, but I have faith it will only get better from here. You can tell the staff were a little nervous, which was to be expected. For example, we sat right by the kitchen and they came from behind us and awkwardly placed our food on the table instead of going to the front of the table like usual. This felt pretty janky and normally I wouldn't note something like this, but it felt unpolished. The wine list is decently expansive and had a wide range of prices, which is great! I got an orange wine (Russian River Valley) which was $11 for the glass; way better than a $20 cocktail. You MUST order the lamb belly souvlaki, that was the best bite of the night. It was extremely tender, yet the skin was lightly crisp. I've never had lamb belly before and now I wonder why I never see it on menus. One of the co-owners, Nicholas, came out and told us that his wife and co-owner, Kristin, is part-Greek, so she brought that inspo to the menu...I'm glad! I honestly think lamb belly would be an amazing main course...wow, wow wow. Next, I am adding this to the review because my friend went the day after: they said the pizza is REALLY good. I can attest to this because just about every table had it. The pizza has no flop, there's a nice char on the crust, and it has the perfect amount of "grease" you want in a pizza. The plus is that the cheese pizza is $22 which is way cheaper than the steak frites or roast chicken mains. Now I'm kind of regretting not getting it, but I'll come back and taste the rest of the menu. (I will update the review when I try the pizza). We also got the "bread service" with rosemary focaccia bread. It came with a side of olive oil and a very high quality butter. It was okay... kind of disappointing for a place that specializes in bread; it had a fluffy interior but a little too hard than I like on the exterior. Not enough rosemary flavor either. We had the Panzanella salad that was perfectly balanced between the tomatoes and stracciatella cheese, but the country bread "croutons" were a weird texture hybrid of too chewy and hard. The charred eggplant with beans dish was hearty and solid - it felt like a proper winter-y dish, but I wouldn't order it again though. The Caesar roast chicken could use some work, especially for $34. It was served on polenta with charred greens and didn't come through enough in flavor or texture. The chicken should have had a nice pan sauce, as the breast was a little dry. I saw other tables get the steak frites, which made me want to order a side of fries. They were visually very good but was about as good as diner fries. This is a huge miss. I'm hoping this gets a massive upgrade. It had no crunch and tasted slightly raw. Also, no side of any sauce whatsoever, either - should at least come with an aioli. I think your mileage will vary based on what you order. This is what I think would get a better review: get a pizza or two, mushroom polenta, and the spicy feta dip... I need to try the dessert next time as well. Although my review above sounds very rough around the edges, there's a lot of opportunity for polish. I still give it a 4! Total came to $126 including tip, which is pretty good for a date night with a TON of food. I would order less than I did, it's too much for two!

It is in a great location, close to the beach and library. They always have changing art on the wall, as well as books and games. The staff provide good service, although they do get backed up quickly when busy. I am only give 4 stars instead of 5 because the coffee is good but not excellent. We will keep coming here as long as they are open! *edit: if i recall correctly this spot offers a solid apple cider in the fall/winter, so definitely stop by during rainy season for liquid comfort

I've never had this style of cake before so maybe I didn't know what to expect but it was quite dry. I think if I had ordered a tea to go with it I would have enjoyed it more, as the warm liquid would have balanced out the dryness of the cake, so perhaps that was my mistake. The coffee menu has a good variety of latte options. The matcha menu is more limited, and they also offer a small variety of hot tea. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and the staff member brought my order to my table, which was a nice touch for an order-at-the-counter cafe.

The lovely man working here, I do believe he might be the owner, pushed together three smaller tables together so my group of five would have somewhere to work. If it weren't for him, we would've left immediately to find somewhere else. I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin that I asked to be warmed!

Review #1,088 Posted on 7.14.26…read more We came here for some coffee on Saturday the 11th before our long drive back to NorCal from vacation down south. This spot is on a busy street in Long Beach, where there's some parking in the back. You can also enter or leave from front or back too. This is kind of a new/modern type of coffee place. Staff is super cool, and they pump out drinks pretty fast. They've got places to sit inside, and a unique menu with signature or named speciality drinks. My coffee was tasty. Would return for sure.

Favorite coffee spot on Belmont Shore…read more Drinks, ambiance, prices are all perfect for a day by the beach. This Philz has an especially great location, a quick walk away from Rosie's Dog Beach. There's outdoor and indoor seating that's plentiful. Compared to other Philz locations, this one has a chill, not-overly-crowded feel that makes it perfect for hanging out with friends or studying by the shore. The drinks are seasonal and workers are open to notes if you have any changes you want to make to your drink. I ordered the Tiramisu coffee in a medium ($6.80 w/ tax) and no changes needed to be made. It was perfect. Their coffee is elevated without breaking that $7 mark that so many coffee shops hold as the standard nowadays. Will definitely be coming back.
