I have wanted to try this place for years. I grew up around the corner, so even though it wasn't a coffee place, it brought nostalgic feelings to me. The place is really clean and understated. However, even with the minimalist look, it felt warm. The gal who helped me was sweet, calm and quiet enough. She didn't know I was headed to a funeral, but I felt like she did. Just treated me with palatable kindness. Oh and the coffee was delicious. So there's that. read more

Plant based queer coffee shop located in a busy street with only street parking available that can be a little tricky. The inside is super spacious and plenty of space to sit that's super comfy! One of my regular hangouts purely for the vibes since the drinks are a little lacking. The staff is always attentive and bring you everything super fast even when it's a busy house. I've tried various coffee and matcha and it's never strong or flavorful. Watered down comes to mind. The seasonal drinks always leave you wishing for more. Pistachio matcha -- didn't taste like much. The matcha itself isn't very strong and doesn't have any pistachio flavor. read more

This place is located right on 10th street so find street parking. The vibe inside was ok a little messy but the staff was friendly and offered some recommendations. We ordered 2 lattes: Cookie butter latte (iced) Coozelnut latte (iced) Both with almond milk. These 2 lacked flavor and was super watered down. I was disappointed. I do not recommend. read more

Wood Coffee Co. is such a lovely cafe! My partner and I went on a Saturday morning and there wasn't a long line. The baristas were extremely kind and welcoming, answering any questions we had. I ended up getting the Chic-a-Cherry Latte seasonal drink and subbing the coffee for matcha. My husband got the Kermie, which is their Pistachio milk Matcha. I personally loved the Kermie (perks of going with my partner, I get to try TWO drinks! ). The cafe itself is absolutely adorable and I love when businesses make it a point to be very community focused. There are community pieces of art up for sale all around the store, which doesn't only add to the atmosphere, but makes it uniquely Long Beach. What an excellent spot! read more

I wanted to try a new coffee shop in the area, so after leaving my hospice cases, I decided to check Yelp for one nearby and ended up here. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly young lady at the cashier. I mentioned that I was there to Yelp and wanted to take some photos of the artwork on the walls. A few of the pictures I snapped might be useful for anyone looking for art classes. I noticed some food options on Yelp for the day, and I was definitely in the mood for a tasty lunch. Unfortunately, all they had was pastries in a glass display, which looked a bit stale to me. With prices ranging from $4.50 to $6 for a small dessert, I decided to skip it. On the bright side, I did try their pistachio latte, which typically comes with matcha. Since I'm not a fan of matcha, they kindly took it out and made it more of an espresso latte. It was absolutely delicious, and the sweetness was just right! I definitely want to come back when I'm in the area again where I am much needed for a cold drink since this was only 3 minutes away from one of my hospice cases so I would give it a 3.7 not having availability on the food options. read more

The drinks here were a little disappointing sadly. I was super excited when I saw their specialty and seasonal drinks. But as soon as my Kermie came out, which is a matcha with pistachio milk, I could tell already right off the bat that this was not a good quality matcha. It was pretty watery and I was just expecting more. The Live Lav Love had a better consistency but I'm just not a lavender person so it wasn't for me (not the coffee shop's fault though!). I wonder if the hot drinks may be better. However, the space inside is very spacious so it makes for a good spot to hang out if you're in search of that! read more

Great place with a good amount of tables and outlets for studying. Parking is just street parking, but there was a good amount available. I liked the pastries that I had - strawberry pop tart and bacon & cheese danish. I got the wrong coffee order though. I ordered one of their seasonal peppermint mochas and got a latte. I was in a rush and didn't realize I had the wrong drink until I was in the car. The latte was just okay though. I would come back to give it another chance, but first impression was just okay for me. read more

The coconut hazelnut latte is absolutely delicious if you like those flavors! I love coconut but don't often like coconut in coffee but this drink was an exception. The proportions were just right and not too sweet. Service was solid / fast. Vibe is modern/cozy. read more

Decided to try this place out since it's been on my list. It has beautiful clean bohemian type aesthetic that is nice for getting some work done. It's also completely vegan. I wanted the Cookie Butter latte but they were out of the syrup for it so I opted for the Coozelnut Latte which is a coconut and hazelnut latte with cinnamon, it was ok but I felt it was a bit weak and I like a bolder coffee taste. The food item I ordered was the major disappointment which was the ricotta jam toast. The vegan ricotta and jam was actually very great but the toast was so hard it was barely edible. Also I ordered apricot jam and got strawberry instead but it was fine because I ended up liking the strawberry. To no fault of his own, there was only one person working to take orders and make the drinks and food. He was super nice though and answered all my questions which I appreciated! I just don't think vegan is for me, or I tried this place on an off day. But it may be worth a try for others. It seemed to be a popular spot as indicated by the high traffic I observed throughout the afternoon. read more

Great coffee, great service, cute and unique aesthetic (specially the painted walls in the bathroom). The owner Nolen, is also very friendly and approachable. This is my kind of coffee shop! I am one happy customer and I always stop by when I'm in the area. read more

An arty little space with plenty of seating and a warm atmosphere. A queer-friendly, community-oriented business, I've enjoyed a number of events they've hosted in the evenings. I'm not a vegan, so the fact that it's all plant-based isn't in and of itself a major selling point for me, but a tasty pastry is a tasty pastry whatever the ingredients are! I do like their coffee, but it's definitely the atmosphere and the friendly service that keep me coming back. read more

I'm vegetarian so it's really nice that I can just go somewhere and order whatever I want without worrying about the ingredients! The service and warmth of this place is phenomenal- there's a great balance of community and productivity in this space and I believe that business will thrive in the coming years! I loved their spice a peel latte and their snacks are tasty too! I would definitely check this place out if you're looking for a catch-up session with friends or an aesthetic place to get some work done! read more

Went to Wood Coffee Co on my lunch break with a co-worker to read our books, and we both agreed that it was the perfect setting to relax. It is a plant-based, queer-owned company with a warm, comfy, and intimate vibe. There is street parking in adjacent neighborhoods, and the area is pretty walkable. We both ordered off the spring specials menu - I ordered the "Sarah Rose," a matcha latte with house made rose syrup. The matcha tasted fresh and creamy, so refreshing. The rose syrup was very light - I almost didn't taste it until the end of the drink. My friend got the "Live Lav Love," but asked if the cold brew could be lavender-based to match the lavender cold foam. The barista was very enthusiastic and accommodating. Initially, it seemed like there was only one barista working, taking orders, and making drinks. Because of this, it took a little while to get our drinks. Another barista eventually joined the first, and things seemed to move a bit faster. All in all, it was a cute place to spend some down time, and I'd definitely go back! read more

Stopped by to get some work done and grab a caffeinated beverage. They were out of cold brew so I got the recommended iced pumpkin Americano. I think I've found my new fall drink! It was amazing, not too sweet and not too bitter --just right. The shop has a cozy welcoming ambiance and staff is very friendly and welcoming. Love this shop and it wasn't too crowded or too loud. read more

Wood Coffee Co - Iced Pumpkin Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

We had such a happy outing to Wood Coffee Co. on our little Long Beach weekend. I searched for coffee nearby, saw these reviews and pics, and knew we'd be in good hands. Being a 100% vegan coffee shop, the default milk here is oat milk (made with gluten free oats, hooray). They also have almond, soy, and pistachio milk. I ordered an iced latte with a little vanilla and cardamom syrup -- it was perfect! My siblings had their house drip coffee with oat milk and sugar, and everyone was a happy camper. We also tried a couple pastries: a cinnamon roll and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. Also delicious. I really loved that they had some gluten free options despite being all vegan. Sometimes it's hard to do both haha! The baristas were cool, the crowd was cool, and overall the vibe was relaxed--you can tell people are comfortable and hang out awhile. We had to get going but I would have liked to stay sitting in our sunny window spot awhile longer. read more

Quality coffee with a spacious work/study space. Coffee: we got the cookie butter and cinnamon roll lattes, with an extra shot. SO STRONG lol, stick with the regular dose of caffeine. The coffee is amazing. The cinnamon roll is 10/10. Not too sweet. Pastries: I didn't try any but the pop tarts were heart shaped and I was so tempted. Service: we ordered online for pickup, but they don't make it til you arrive. Which was fine, I'm glad bc we were running late so it was nice and fresh. Space: it's very spacious with bar style seating all around the perimeter, couches in the corners, long tables in the middle. Tons of space to spread out laptops, books etc. large windows so it's bright, airy and open. Def will be coming back to work/study! read more

An all vegan coffee shop? Yes please! The service? Great. The coffee? Yum! Pastries? Yummmm! The ambiance? So chill. Over all else, this is a business that cares for its community, offering a safe space for patrons and bringing people together. read more

Workers are kind of rude? Not welcoming or friendly unless you are a regular. I asked for a recommendation and wasn't given one. The matcha lavender tasted like watered down soy milk. WiFi did not work at all and the reason I went was to study for a final. Expect to park in the residential area. read more

This place is an absolute (plant-based) treasure and you must protect it at all costs. We've driven past this place hundreds of times, curious but never quite taking the bait. Yesterday morning, there was parking right out front (score!, because 10th Street parking can be gnarly at times) so we just went for it. This shop is SO beautiful. Like just the aesthetic made me want to stay. Everything seemed super clean and chill, and the barista behind the counter was super low-key and friendly. I ordered the Kermie, which was a special matcha on menu served with vanilla and pistachio milk. It was delicately sweet, with the grassy, slightly bitter edge from the matcha smoothed out by the vanilla and pistachio milk. Milder than I had anticipated but delicious nonetheless. It took a lot of willpower to not bat my eyelashes and use my best Miss Piggy voice when talking about it later. I got a pumpkin choco chip muffin for my toddler. It was delicious, slightly dense (true form for a vegan muffin) and very moist. The child gobbled it all up, with minimal crumbs in his wake. Price wise, slightly expensive. However, you're paying for quality and the experience of just existing in this beautiful space. Is it worth it? I believe so. read more

Wood Coffee Co - Liv Lav Love Lavender Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

First time visiting this place and sadly it wasn't what I was expecting it to be. Here's a few reasons why. 1. Register girl - I intend to just a get drip which I normally order and would ask about it's roasting profile something unique just so I have another reason to come back oddly, the register was kind-of new and wasn't really confident of what's brewing (good thing the person at the bar corrected her and said it was a medium blend) 2. Asked for any pastry she can recommend that's good to compliment the drink and said everything was good (good thing again the bar lady suggested the pumpkin chocolate loaf i think) 3. Drip temperature not hot anymore i guess not warm either (did not get a chance to ask for replacement anymore) it was just around 10am I think which I guess should be a at least still a fresh batch I don't know. Thanks read more

Really cute coffee shop located in the heart of Long Beach. The ambiance inside is welcoming and bright with plenty of seating. The employee was very friendly and helpful, patiently waiting for me to make up my mind. I ordered the iced rose latte and vanilla iced latte. I like how the drinks come with standard oat milk. It's a very vegan friendly coffee shop. I also tried the vegan danish and it was flaky and good without the usual overly oily flavor. There is street parking right outside the shop and it is easily accessible. Overall, I would return when and if I am in the area! read more

TLDR - it's very rare I write a one star rating & based on other reviews, my experience must be an anomaly. Wait Time - Not very long, there wasn't anybody ordering The Vibes & Service - The place was super cute with plenty of room for people to sit. Sadly, we were met with hostility at the counter when I asked a question on menu items. We were taken back by the response, but we all have bad days so I get it. I figure the drinks could still be great. The Drinks - Sadly, not my preference. I ordered different items which ended up tasting mostly of water or milk & it wasn't exactly iced. That might just be their style though! read more

Wood Coffee is hands down one of my favorite spots. Whether it's grabbing a coffee and pastry, sitting down to get some work done, or just popping in for a quick cup to go. I take my coffee and espresso black, and I can honestly say their beans are delicious. The owner, Nolan, and his team are always in great spirits. I'm greeted with a smile and a cheerful "hello" every time I walk in. For the past three years, Wood has consistently made me feel welcome and comfortable. On top of that, it's a queer-friendly café, which makes it feel even more like home. If you need a place to work, meet a friend, or just vibe out with a good cup, this is it. They play a mix of music genres that keeps the atmosphere fun yet relaxing. I'm always recommending Wood Coffee to friends and anyone who wants a truly great coffee experience. I love this place! read more
