    Was looking for a cafe so I can study with my friend. Looks like a small building from the outside but surprisingly big on the inside. The music volume didn't bother me, nice vibes for me to get some school work done. I ordered the matcha iced latte with less sugar. The cashier told me it'll be less powder but I think that actually made the drink more bland. Other than that, nice study area at coffee bean!

    Ever since they got rid of the two Starbucks we had on campus, this is the last place on campus to get good caffeine. I recommend downloading the app and placing a mobile order ahead so that maybe by the time you get to the store your order is ready. They are absolutely slammed. Always have a line or a crowd waiting for their drinks. There's not really anywhere in the store to sit but I don't think your want to side inside the store. It's loud with blenders goin Goff. The tables belong to Robeks. There's indoor seating inside the USU and there's nice outdoor patio to sit and people watch.

    Treat your professors to a gift card as a form of thanks!

    I was a Starbucks customer more out of habit than out of preference for their coffee. Then, I decided to stop by The Coffee Bean because a classmate had recommended I try their coffee. Well, I haven't been back to Starbucks since. The coffee here is much better especially their brew of the day (light roast) plus they have so many other types of sandwiches and pastries to choose from. I had awesome professors this semesters so I bought them each a gift card from Coffee Bean as a way of showing appreciation for their efforts. Yes, the lines can get a bit long but they move fast. Plus, the customer service here is excellent! Good luck on your finals everyone and Happy Holidays!

    They haven't updated their hours on yelp, but they're officially back open from 7am-7pm! It's the best spot for coffee on campus and it's located right in the heart of CSULB @ the USU. I recommend using the app to order ahead as well as earn points. If you don't, you will be stuck waiting in line for 15 minutes, and then another 15 mins for your drink. App orders are picked up at a table off to the side, which is kind of iffy as it's basically an honor system.

    This location is great! They offer Oatly Oat milk and they're in the same location as Robeks. The service was good and the menu is beautiful. I ordered the lightened vanilla latte, which was beautiful. They're also a Kosher establishment for those who practice Judaism.

    Small Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf as part of the food court at CSULB. Few tables within the food court. But they have more seating options in the study hall or outside at the patio. I really liked that they served my latte in a glass instead of paper cup which is not really environmentally friendly.

    Employees are so kind, but literally never read the directions on my mobile orders. Today, I had had enough. I don't want to pay nearly $4 for a cup of ice. C'mon guys!

    Crema used to be our go-to breakfast/brunch place but then life got crazy. We decided to go back…read moreand celebrate our wedding anniversary with a weekday brunch. The staff was friendly and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere, a small table outside, was charming and reminiscent of a European cafe. Side note: My MIL Is German & Crema is her favourite brunch place when she visits. The Hubs had an customized egg scramble with an English muffin and fresh fruit. He loved it and said everything was fresh and well made. I have numerous food allergies and the staff and chef ensured that my Seal Beach omelette was not only delicious (so tasty & fresh) but safe for me to eat. I would definitely recommend Crema Do make reservations, it makes everything easier.

I split it with someone and we were comfortably full after our meal. -I've never been into omelettes. The omelette exceeded my expectations. It was delicious! I'm more into omelettes after this one. -The meal was topped with garlic cream sauce, avacado, served with a side of roasted potatoes and salsa -I loved the potatoes, they had that homemade taste -I wasn't the biggest fan of the garlic cream, it tasted more like sour cream to me. -Outdoor and indoor seating options -Moderately busy when we arrived on a weekday at 8:30am. Our servers didn't check on us too often, we had to wave someone down for the bill.

    The staff at Bogarts are always amazing! So friendly and helpful! The other week I (betrayingly)…read morewent to javatinis because I was parked right in front of it, and my toddler was begging for an iced water. I went into javatinis since it was right there and I felt bad about just asking for a water without paying so I ordered an iced latte (even though I don't care for their drinks). After I had already paid, I asked them politely for an iced water. They said they would have to charge. I was like "what? Even though I paid for a drink?" And the girl said "yes we charge for the cost of the cup." So pathetic. So I walked over to bogarts fully expecting to have to pay for something else I didn't need just to get an iced water for my toddler. The girl at bogarts, without hesitation, gave me an iced water. I said "are you sure? I can buy a muffin or something" she said "seriously it's no problem." And because of that, I went back a few hours later to get an iced chai, and now bogarts is the only coffee shop we'll give our money to every week in seal beach. Funny how not being cheap and a penny pincher with your paying customers will benefit you in the long run. Javatinis could learn a thing or two from them... I tell all of my seal beach family and friends to only go to bogarts from now on.

    My husband and I enjoy Cyclops coffee and buy it to go and get the beans for our own at-home…read moreespressos. This review, however, is motivated out of my desire to offer major props to the young man - I think I overheard something like Sip? - working this morning. This guy was on his A game, multitasking and juggling multiple tasks with perceived ease and being pleasant and accommodating all at the same time. Great job! Your effort is noticed and appreciated. Thanks for that. Had it not been for this (and their delicious pastries), I'd give Cyclops a 3 - 4 stars because I have a real bone to pick with paying for a larger Americano and getting the same number of shots regardless. I don't like when businesses do that so that would have otherwise been a major ding for me.

    Excellent cold brew! That's my jam…read more Great place to pop up your laptop and work! Plenty of seating and outlets. Staff were friendly and overall my experience was great. I got a croissant and they warmed it up for me. It was flaky and good, but wow was it buttery! My fingers were covered in grease and i got it all over my laptop. Oops. I wish they had a bigger selection of pastries. I got there at around 11 and their case was pretty bare. Usually my go-to stop in Long Beach for coffee because it's super convenient to get to, but parking can be tough!
