Absolutely adorable coffee shop with light bites. There is WiFi and table space to work. Theres an open air feel with the door open on nice days and a covered outdoor patio with eclectic seating. Lots of great light from the front window. Cash only!

Super cool little spot, tucked out of the way. As others have pointed out, its Cash Only; I didnt have any and the barista (owner I think?) gave me the coffee even though I didnt have any cash! Great service I will definitely be back here for coffee or for lunch. What a great experience.

Great coffee and a great atmosphere! Employees are always friendly and fast. I love the coffee here and the art is amazing on the walls. And also, the wi-fi connection is very fast and the seats are very comfortable. This is my go-to coffee shop ever since I discovered it. Great place to study or hangout. Highly recommended!

This place is the best coffee shop in the area! Owner is an extremely gracious person. The coffee I had, a Vanilla Frappe, was really good too. They only accept cash, and you will have to pay for a parking meter..

I live very close to this shop but don’t go very often. Every time I go their service and the overall quality of their product is top notch. However the 5 Stars is for a simple interaction I had with one of their employees; I ordered a large iced coffee and a pastry as I was with my 4 year old daughter. After the gentleman behind the counter gave me the two items I realized I hadn’t brought my cash or debit card. The individual stated that it was no problem and to just pay me back tomorrow as if I was a regular or something. He was willing, without skipping a beat, to give me their wares for free. Luckily my wife was close and I was able to pay my bill but this interaction always stuck with me.

This place is the best coffee shop in the area! Owner is an extremely gracious person. It is cash only and I had just my debit card in sith me. I told him I would be right back as to find an ATM to pull some money but he made me my coffee anyway and that I could pay him back later. Kind hearted people still do exist! 🙂

This is a lovely little coffee shop with terrific ambiance and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are courteous, friendly and inviting, and the coffee is excellent, much better than Starbucks. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by for a cup!

Great coffee! Check out the Birdcage for some fantastic local flavor and interesting variety.Be sure to bring your cash. Thats all they take, and its totally worth the tiny inconvenience.This is basically a kick back coffee lounge. The outdoor seating is nice and relaxing. The drinks are delicious. And the service has always been top notch. This small business is neighborhood friendly and I love living close by.This place is totally worth a visit whenever you are close by!

Review №19

Good was absolutely fantastic and they have such an array of options for drinks. The attendant was super nice and the decor is beautiful and viby. I would have given this place 5 stars for the exception that its a cash only place with no atm so we had to drive to a bank to take cash out just to eat here.

I ordered an Iced Raspberry Tea; the best ever. She starts with hot tea than adds ice. She shakes to make it cold than stirs in raspberry syrup. Its perfectly sweet without being watery. A must have on a hot day!

Review №21

I must say, the owner is a wonderful guy. Very kind hearted. I had no cash with me on my first time coming in. Instead of sending me to the ATM, he told me to just pay him next time! What a rare gem to find a place like this. They serve Italian coffee which I had never had. The atmosphere is something I had been searching for in a coffee shop since I moved from the Northwest recently.

What an awesome local coffee shop! Its quaint but friendly and still has a metropolitan feel to some extent. The owner is amazing and so friendly! I wish this place the very best so that I can continue to enjoy it for years to come! Did I mention the coffee is great and so reasonably priced?!

Great place with a very friendly atmosphere. The Owner and employees are always very happy to see anyone who walks in the door. The coffee is delicious, but so is their fresh made juice and other goodies! Such a relaxing vibe as well, I definitely recommend grabbing a drink and taking a seat outside...

Review №29

I love it here. Super quirky, lovely neighborhood spot. Everyone says hello when they walk in. The coffee is superb. They use Lavazza. Ive never tried the smoothies or juices, but they smell delicious while they make them fresh. Solid selection of freshly made sandwiches. You can also have a glass of wine or champagne while you work! High speed internet, not a lot of outlets, though. And it is in a downtown neighborhood, so people pop in yelling and testifying ever so often. I love how patiently everyone listens and waits for the end of the transmission. On the weekends there are live parrots and parakeets swooping through the space and posing for pictures. Not to be missed!

Its my go to place for my green juice. They press it fresh, you get to create your own flavor combos based on their fruit and veggie collection, and its only $5 for a large cup. Yummy, healthy and affordable

Review №33

Lived across the street for a few months, only just actually checked them out (I dont drink coffee much, and they dont have that much else.) But I was in one of those moods last weekend where I really wanted some caffeine: their iced white mocha was pretty fantastic. Way better than Starbucks, and way cheaper, too. Itd be a pretty cozy place to hang out, too, if you were looking for that.

Very Cozy Coffee Shop the only place to find peace and quiet. Not known for their Gourmet anything, almost everything is pre-packaged but it is a nice spot and it is a small business and I appreciate having it in the community

Review №38

This is without a doubt my favorite spot in Long Beach. It feels like a little paradise inside a coffee shop. They make the BEST cafe mochas. I love sitting in the little patio area, because I feel like Im in a forest. Greenery, knick knacks, flowers, art..so beautiful. In the back they now have a little cage of doves (Birdcage, get it?) and I love to watch them and listen to them. Very laid back, Ive never been there when its very crowded, of course I go in the early mornings. Servers and owners are wonderful as well!

This review is long over due. I travel for work and I find small coffee shops like this and become a regular for the time Im in the area. The decor the atmosphere the owner all great. I ate breakfast and lunch there for the better part of 2 months. A year later visiting I stopped in and the owner remembered me and my favorite sandwich. Getting to know the owner he is the kindest and most outgoing person. Long Beach is home to many curb side donut and coffee houses. But if you are ever in the area and you want a real, quiet, where everyone is excepted this is your place. When I visit again in April the shop will be my second stop. First being Randys burgers hahaha(sorry bird cage). But I know he again will remember me and my favorite sangy. Thanks for the great service and hospitality

Overall, the place is very appealing to the eye and there is a lot to look at both inside and out. But as for coffee, i ordered an Americano and it tasted like water. I didnt even finish it. If youre not a coffee lover/enthusiast, this spot is for you.

Review №49

Ideal place to girl chat with a cup of coffee, read or study. The ambience is nice and relaxing. The cozy outdoor patio is big enough to fit maybe 6people.It seems like Mexican hot chocolate is the must-have-item here. I was craving for coffee that didnt taste like Starbucks so I ordered an ice vanilla latte... It was ok. Its not something ill drive 10minutes for but I am willing to try their hot chocolate next time I visit.

I love this little locally owned coffee shop! The owner is very helpful and friendly and the price is more than justified by the quality of the coffee + the speed and courtesy of the service, not to mention the beautiful shop with indoor, outdoor and patio seating and the all around ambiance (and free WiFi!)
