First time coming here. I got a vanilla latte and double shot of espresso. It’s a good spot. The workers were very sweet and it had amazing seating. The coffee was okay i’ve definitely had way better coffee. But if you’re looking to support a local shop it’s fair in pricing, great seating, and ambiance.

Used to love this place but the baristas need either more support or more training. Great atmosphere always super welcoming but I was disappointed with my half hearted drink and the terrible attitude of the barista that helped me. As you can see from the photo, this drink was only half made. I think with more staff this place can continue to shine. Love the location and the coffee is always on point

Love this place. Always quick and friendly. Only gripe is they don’t have coconut milk, but besides that, it’s a good little coffee spot. I guess parking can be difficult at times because they share a lot with hole mole. But they have nice little pastries and good coffee

Its a nice place to work. The atmosphere is comfortable and simple with wooden tables, benches, and chairs. The baristas are friendly and make great drinks. There are always other people working which puts me in the right mood to work. The coffee is consistently good.

This is my first time coming here. I am from phx but my sister lives here so next time I come to visit I plan to come here instead of Starbucks!!! The service was sweet and prompt. The caramel latte was great and the almond croissant was definitely one of the best Ive ever had!!! I recommend this place for sure!!

Cute coffee shop and the service was great. I ordered their Seasonal Spiced Latte and it was delicious. The orange zest really gave the coffee a unique taste, in a good way.

Excellent service and delicious avocado toast (added a couple of eggs) with tons of avocado. My decaf latte was presented beautifully and was smooth without a bitter after taste. Friendly people. The location is a little weird in a business park and with limited visibility. Parking is just ok.

My #1 go to, favorite, cant-live-without coffee shop! The freshest most balanced coffee. Laid back baristas. And the veggie hand pie....dear lord, I live for that thing!

Review №29

This is the type of place you can grab a tasty caffeinated beverage of your choice, sit down, study, work, or have a nice conversation with the baristas or fellow coffee lover. Laid back and relaxed. Truly a gem of a place in Long Beach.

Cute coffee shop with ample parking options. Not to mention their selection of food and coffee. I highly recommend the cinnamon sugar toast! Takes you back to childhood. Plus, highly recommend their cold brew. You can add your own cream and sweetener to your liking!!

Review №34

Great coffee shop walking distance from my work. Baristas are friendly in answering questions you may have about their drinks. The space is bright and minimal, great for working on your laptop or reading a book. I usually get a latte with oat milk...so good! Ive also been to their two other locations in Long Beach as well as the one in Torrance. All great!

Review №35

The staff here is very nice, and took the time to explain many of the pastries that were in the case and then proceeded to make a beyond fantastic cup of coffee for me. The ambiance is perfect, it has a fresh vibe and again....the coffee is AMAZING. I loved everything about this place, including the location in town and all of the murals on the buildings in the surrounding area. Locals must love this place. I seriously wish I lived around the corner, Id be here every single day!

Review №43

I love the coffee here. They do a lovely job of making their drinks strong in flavor, yet rich and fluffy in texture. The drinks are what you would expect from a true latte, cappuccino, and cortado. All are on the stronger side of what youd expect. The food is superb as well. I tried the Smashed Avocado Toast ($8) which was nicely flavored and not plain at all, and the Eggs and Manchego ($9)

Review №44

From the start everything was a five star experience. This is the first time I get coffee here and was not sure what everything on the menu was. The guy that helped me out answered all my questions and even recommended the cortado with a little bit of sugar. Let me tell you this coffee was delicious. I havent had coffee this good in a while, from ANYWHERE. I highly recommend this place. The staff is great, the coffee is great, and the place looks great.

As an avid coffee shop goer I would have to say this one I love. They not only have great coffee, but the owner is cool too! Cal Heights is the perfect neighborhood for Steelhead Coffee both trendy and cool while being laid back and cozy. I will definitely be working and sipping here!

Mochas are not as sweet as the chain coffee places, which is nice, and are served at a drinkable temperature. My son loves the donuts (locally made, more like a dense cake than a fluffy donut - theyre good if thats what youre expecting). I really enjoy their pastries and quiche, though because of their supply chain I never know whats going to be available when I go in - which means I try new things.

Truly top of the line coffee. From their espresso to their pour over, this place is as good as anywhere in silver lake or San Francisco. Friendly staff and good food too. Very warm and cozy place with 10/10 coffee.

If youve never had a proper shot of espresso, or a well balanced latte, this is where you need to be. Amazing coffee, amazing service and a wildly knowledgeable staff. Its a coffee shop that knows its coffee. They dont offer just one roaster, but rather a nice selection of really good coffees from a number of noteworthy roasters. If youve never been to a real coffee shop, this is where you should begin. Stop reading now, and go get yourself a serious cup of joe...

Its always crowded but in a good way. Sorry if Ive ever stood too close to anyone while I was waiting for coffee. But anyway the coffees are always on point and the pastries are off the hook. Ill always stop by when Im north of the 405

Review №67

The 5 coffees and 3 sandwiches are not worth the $70 we spent. The egg yolks were runny and the coffee was horrible. It did seem they made the sandwiches fresh, but it just was not good at all. The bread on it was the best part. The prices are way too high considering the quality of their products.

Review №72

Coffee is good and service is excellent. We had an Americano and a latte. Both great. Unfortunately half way through my latte my 7 mo sweety decided it would be funny to tip it over. The personnel was at our table before I even had time to figure it out. They cleaned the table for us an gave me a new latte! How nice! I would definitely recommend this place.

Review №79

We really did like coming here, despite the many eyes that followed me, both workers and customers. Maybe because I always came in with sweats, or I just woke up? I dont know.There was a Sunday morning where we decided to come in, purchased some coffee and sat down. Again, did not feel welcome at all. As I sat there on my phone, one of the workers, some guy with long black hair, stared me down as he approached a table to clean it. He stared me down as if I made the mess. I had to remove myself from the establishment before I unleashed my foul mouth. Please retrain your workers, or said worker, in customer service.

Pros: Amazing espresso / coffee drinks and gourmet quality food, clean industrial modern interior design, super friendly and skilled baristas. Cons: A little pricey for the out-of-the-way location, not a very personal or cozy atmosphere if thats what youre looking for in a coffeehouse.

Review №86

Used to be one of the best places in Long Beach and is worsening of late. Lazy pour overs, espresso that’s just not as good as it used to be, and a really tight-fisted loyalty program. Top that off with the fact that there’s no innovation going on.2 stars seems harsh but compared to what they used to be, 2 stars makes a lot of sense.
