Such a cool cafe!! Hubby & I went while on vacation & thought it was awesome. We had coffee and pastries & sat on the couch while checking everything out. Its very laid back, with a hippie vibe, decorated with a lot of Day of the Dead decor, sugar skulls & skeletons. The owner was singing as he brought an order to 1 of his regulars. It was cute. Will definitely go back if ever in Long Beach again!

What a vibe! Food and drinks bursting with flavor! Service top notch!

When Im in long Beach Viento y Agua is my got to place for coffee, pastries and just a straight up place to chill. There is plenty of space for people to sit inside, with lounge chairs, sofas table and high chairs. Pre-pandemic there was live music and open mic nights. Now that an outdoor patio is available it just adds an extra layer of awesome to the place.The baristas are always super cool and drinks are great. I usually go with Mexican Mocha ($5.50) which is always spectacular. As good as the Mexican mocha is Im sure the other items are good just the same.The only issue i have is parking. Its pretty bad, to no fault of their own. There is only street parking (that i know of), not really stroller friendly because its a cozy space.All in all i highly recommend coming here for coffee, chatting a dm just straight up chillin.

Amazing cold brew, decor is fantastic. Owner is super friendly.

I’ve been coming here for over a decade and the coffee is still as good today as it was the first time I went. Wonderful coffee and an amazingly kind staff that make you feel right at home. Always worth a visit when in Long Beach. In fact, I have since moved to Colorado, and I still make this place a priority every time I come back for a visit ❤️

I havent been in this place in years before today. I used to live a block away and go all the time but have since moved too far to be in the neighborhood much.Ive been frequenting Coffee Cup for breakfast down the street and made my way over today and I am so happy I did.It smells exactly the same as I remember it! Now theres outside seating and a one way track inside to keep people safe and distanced.The coffee is excellent and they have a killer Mexican mocha and signature cafe con leche. Then sandwiches! Theres a super small menu and everything on it is unique, awesome, and delicious.The owner works there all the time keeping it real and chill and they have just great vibes and super good service.Restroom/street parking/bike parking/dog water bowl all present.Go support this bomb small business!

We live out of state and purchased a car in California. Our son recommended this coffee house so we stopped by. Our son was right. The coffee here is EXCELLENT as was the customer service!!! I cannot wait to come down again and spend some time here when they can re-open the lobby. Im told that it is a great place to hang out and it looks it. The decor is really cool! We will stop here for coffee every time we visit Long Beach.

Great staff great coffee great vibes :)

I usually love this place, but today… I ordered a coffee and a bagel and it took over 20 mins with only two guests in front of me. Then finally when I see my bagel being made, he barely put any cream cheese like he scraped it like butter you can still see the bread under the layer. I was waiting for so long at this point I wasn’t going to not say anything and asked if he could add more. He said because I had ordered vegan cream cheese he has to charge me extra because it’s so expensive. I didn’t pay extra and he let it go by saying this will have to happen next time. If you know you’re going to jip the customers who order vegan cream cheese then put a disclaimer on the menu. I was so aggravated, I’m already waiting 20+ mins for a bagel with half the cream cheese… I don’t know, the place seems understaffed and stressed out, not as peaceful as it once was. I really do like this place and I hope to have a better experience if I come back!

Employees and owner are very welcoming, coffe is delishish.

Love the coffee and atmosphere here. Great place to relax and enjoy time with friends

Terrible place. Coffee is horrible. Owners not even mexican. I dont who hes trying to fool but this place is disgraceful.

The place I come to several times a week to get some work done. I love the atmosphere here. The baristas are really nice and I like that they have healthy options to eat as well as a good selection of organic teas. They have live music, I believe on Thursdays but Ive also seen a performance on Sundays. So maybe the dates vary.

Always good, a neighborhood favorite. Cool, funky vibe and nice staff.

Legitimately the beat bagels in town. Cute, comfortable vibe and endearing staff. Happily recommend this to anyone passing through this area of Long Beach.

I regularly come here for the delicious bagel sandwiches, and have definitely brought many new people to check it out! They also offer vegan cream cheese (or you can substitute hummus) which can be hard to find at a typical bagel spot.Pre covid we used to come by for live music and play board games. But while dine in seating is not available, its been great to still come by for breakfast and go walk to the beach.

Traditional coffee house atmosphere and outstanding service.

Love this place. Great for breaks when Im in the community. Good drinks and the staff is friendly.

Great cafe to meet people. Staff is friendly and cool

The coffee tastes fiya. There’s also this one guy who works there who’s hella funny. I think he does theater or something. Very nice inside. Perfect for sitting down and studying.

Great space for coffee and snacks! Lots of big tables to work on and high ceilings. Nice ambiance!

Love this place. Every time I come here the staff are very friendly. And I love the vibe here.

Great neighborhood coffee shop! Love the friendly baristas. Recommend ordering ahead on the odeko app for faster service.

My heart has this place. The Mexican mocha with soy or almond milk is always good. The staff is amazing and Bela is the kindest person I know. Anytime Im in Long Beach I make it a point to stop here.

Great coffee and sandwiches! Cool artsy/edgy vibe!Ordered the veggie garden sandwich and vanilla lavender latte!

I called ahead to order a Mexican mocha for pick up after reading their rave reviews on Yelp. Bela, the owner, took my order and answered my newbie Mexican mocha questions with the friendliest and most enthusiastic vibe! It made me excited to get to the store and visit for the first time. I got the Mexican mocha with a bit of coffee in it and it was soooo delicious. Perfect level of bitter from the coffee and dark chocolate, beautifully thick and creamy balanced out with just a touch of sweetness. I also got a bunch of Homeboy bakery goods. Bela said he gets baked goods in Thurs- Sun. Perfect hot morning drink and delicious pastries from two businesses with heart ❤️ Thank you, Bela and barista gal, for being a bright spot during Covid times.

Coffee and bagels are amazing every time

The bagels are delicious here. Staff is super friendly!

Cool coffee shop with hip vibes. Super comfy chairs and the baristas are knowledgeable without being pretentious. They treat everyone really chill and respectfully. Great coffee and bomb food

These guys are open for business. Places like this are use if or loose it for Long Beach. I recommend the Matcha and the Yerba Mate.

I used to go to the open mics here to read poetry. Such a FUN experience! Theyre really friendly people and the entertainment is free. Just a cup of coffee is all it takes, and who doesnt like coffee?? Id recommend it for its atmosphere and comfort. So much better than chain coffee shops!

Probably the best coffee in town. I like it. Food items are nice, too.

Good coffee and great atmosphere

Great local coffee shop. Dog friendly; in fact, just friendly in general.

Love it there everyone is really nice and the coffee is the best they also got food that looks really good

Mexican mocha chocolate deliciousness. Great vegetarian sandwiches great service

Very unique coffee shop! I love their lattes and bagels.

Warm and friendly people here.True community spirit and they sell a smooth Yerba Mate, my favorite!

This is definitely a place I would need to visit more. I have come a few times with a co-worker and I have to say it has an interesting vibe. It feels like a lot of students go here to study as well. Only thing that you might want to be think about is their politics. They are overtly political with some of their messages. So if you don’t want politics while getting coffee, I’d say find a different place. Overall though, it’s a great place to try!

This is absolutely the BEST coffee shop for WORKING AND STUDYING! Its divided into two sides. The side with the tables is for the most part all people working, and its nice and quiet. The side with the lounge chairs is a mix of readers and people talking - but still the noise level is really low as compared to other coffee shops. Staff is great, as is the coffee and food. Try the killer tomato sandwich but on wheat bread - its awesome!

Great food, great drinks, great staff, and seriously the best cafe con leche Ive ever had, each sip reminds me why I come here every time Im in Long Beach.

The menu is solid, lots of non-coffee options, like smoothies and juices, as well as an abundance of caffeinated things. Im partial to the Mexican mocha, its delicious. Love their bagel sandwiches too! Theyre huge and stuffed with yummy things. Get them toasted. The Love and Veggie Garden are absolutely delightful.

Ambiance: this place reminds me of some cute cafes I would hang out in when I lived in Houston. Comfy arm chairs and couches, brightly painted walls. A guitar covered with stickers that any customer can pick up and play (one guy did!) bookshelves with some random books, in case you are bored :).

Very cool coffee shop. They have fantastic sandwiches, and even better coffee. The staff is so friendly, its contagious and it seems like everyone there is awesome.My spouse and I like working from there when we need a break from the house and this is the best place to get some work done! Love it.

Charlene was an absolute joy. She has pretty smile and is always friendly. Coffee is always on point and I am treated like family. I highly recommend this place.

Viento started it all. It is the first artisan coffeeshop in Long Beach and has been tried and true for over ten years. All of their coffee drinks are delicious. They carry the best bagels in town. Bela, the owner, is the sweetest person who knows all of his customers names and he even sings songs to them! They have a great vibe for small meetings and solo work/study. They also support local artists!

Ive been going to this coffee house for probably 12 years and its just as wonderful today as it was when I was in high school. No matter where I go in the world, I always find myself missing a cup from Viento, so I thought Id write a review. The owner is super friendly and works the register frequently. If you go there often he gets to know your name and always has a warm welcome ready when you walk in. The coffee, of course, is also very good - tasty without anything at all, and never too sweet if you get a more exotic drink. Every barista is well trained and the latte art is always a pleasure to see. I wouldnt go here for a huge meal, but If youre looking for a light breakfast or lunch the pastries are delicious and the bagel sandwiches are both health conscious and to die for. Finally, the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. Comfy mismatched arm chairs, local artists artwork, books, and a piano all invite you to sit back and enjoy. Every time I visit Long Beach, this place is an absolute priority.

This is based on my one and only visit here. But I rarely find places anymore where I can just sit and relax without the sound of a beehive of people talking. Very relaxing. Good coffee and snacks. Very curious and friendly service. I will return.

Love the vibe of this place.

I luv the open mic night on Thursday. Starts at 6.Coffee is outstanding, though I dont drink coffee often at all. Great vegan gluten free muffin. Awesome raspberry lavender tea.

Good coffee and friendly service. Cozy place to sit and do some work, read or meet up with people! One of the better coffee houses in Long Beach. Great community vibe as the staff seems to know everyone who comes into the cafe.

Viento y Agua is the very model of a modern local coffee shop. My second closest - and conveniently favorite - coffee shop in Long Beach. Perfect layout for study or social gathering--The layout not only accommodates but encourages community cohesion; talking to your table neighbors is both easy and unnecessary (which is perfect for voluntary conversations or privacy). The coffee is secondary to me at this coffee shop, which isnt to say it isnt good. Its not the complete best coffee in Long Beach to my taste, but it is consistent and original. I suggest the dirty vanilla lavender shake; the only coffee shop I know to carry lavender flavoring syrup. The owner is a boss, the live music is explicitly local.

Chill vibes, bomb coffee, and a delicious bagel sandwich. I ate vegetarian which I almost never do but the love was filling and delicious. Plus my cold brew was dark and rich and exactly what u needed for my late morning pick me up.

Fantastic coffee, no need for the razzmatazz syrups, milk, cream etc. that Starbucks needs because its coffee is dirt! However their iced blended drinks are way better than Starbucks anyway! (Incomparable really...)Cold brew is awesome, espresso is awesome, atmosphere is too, and then there open mic night... I just love this place.

Great coffee. Offers hemp milk as well as the best brand of almond milk. Perfect place for vegans, with vegan croissants and muffins available. Only vegetarian food on the menu. Love the killer tomato sandwich. Atmosphere is mellow. Art on the walls and occasionally live music. Ill spend an hour or two there at a time to write.

Went on an open mic night and enjoyed both the music and drinks! Viento y Agua carries Copa Vida coffee (excellent choice). One of the few shops open until late evening as well.

Felt very welcomed!! Ordered the I LOVE with jalapeno bagel!! Omygosh!!Best Ive ever eaten. I actually dined alone with their Year of the Birds in National Geographic. The owner Bela, wife and team all 5 star! First time: cant wait to go back!!

This place has stood the test of time with great quality of food and beverages served and even better customer service. This is definitely a place to add to your local chill hangout spots.

Great place to study, there are open mic nights with some good and sometimes not good talent. This aint your star bucks place but I like the vibe better here!

Really nice space ! Has good live music and an open mic. Its a bit of a drive away from the main drag, but plenty of seating makes up for it. Well lit with natural lighting, super good place to draw and relax in.

This is my favourite coffee shop. I used to live just a few blocks away, but since moving to the East side I only get in there one in a while. The PBO is delicious and has my go-to beverage.I love the selection of vegan muffins and cookies too.Such a cool place, and open mic night typically has some good musicians roll through.

I love this coffee shop! The coffee is delicious, always served in a mug (it makes all the difference in the world!!!). The staff is friendly, always with positive energy and HUGE smiles! The place is comfortable with big comfy couches or tables to complete school work etc. My only complaint is that is open until 8pm Sundays-Wednesdays. I wish they could close later than their regular closing hours. Im sure they would have as much business as they usually do!

I spent the evening there in the company of some wonderful friends. I had been anticipating The Killer Tomato Bagel Sandwich and was not let down by the flavor ( they had ran out of bagels, however).The funky vibe and laid back feel was most welcoming and I look forward to future visits.

Very chill place and awesome entertainment from open-mic participants during Thurs, Fri and Sat night. Really gives you the café vibe. I enjoy doing homework here because they got good coffee, pretty quiet, subtle music and friendly staff.

I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Viento Y Agua on our interview date.There’s a reason why the Friends‘ favorite spot was the Central Perk and I can happliy say that Long Beach’s Viento Y Agua gives me those sames vibes. Home-y wood and brick paired with bright colored walls give the atmosphere an extra bit of spice than your standard shop while local artwork from paintings to sculptures really pull the interior design together. Apart from tangible art, they also hold regular open mic and belly dancing nights, singer-songwriter showcases, and light live music during the daytime (at least on the morning we were there).A copious amount of seating options allow for coffee date-ers, sit and read the morning newspaper-ers, board game-ers, and everyone in-between to stop in for something yummy to eat and drink offered up by their cheery staff. As the Mexican Mocha was raved about all through Yelp of course I needed to order it. I say this in the most serious way possible, the Mexican Mocha tastes like all of the warm and fuzzy things that bring you joy. GET IT! Viento Y Agua really is a great spot for Long Beach locals and visitors like myself to feel a strong community aspect as well as getting a great cup of coffee, thanks for having us!

This is mainly because on hot days it can be quite stuffy and uncomfortable. Otherwise, the staff is always friendly and the drinks good. We usually have drinks and a muffin while we play a game.

I love this place. I come here with my son once in a while to have cookie time. Everyone here is nice and I love the art...so far its the closest thing Ive found to the independent coffee shops in my hometown of San Francisco. Good place to study!

Hot latte with soy milk and bagel.. yum yum!

One of the best coffee shops (and study spots) in Long Beach. Their drinks and treats are delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. Its well-decorated and quiet, which makes it easy to study or get lost in a book. Highly recommend this to everyone.

This is a very cool coffee house. Great place to hang out. Good Wifi. The coffee is excellent. I love the Nicaraguan Dark Roast!

One of my favorite coffee houses. Cold brew is a true cold brew and all their coffees. Great environment. Sweet breads delucious.

Really cute little coffee shop. It feels homey inside because they feature local artists on their walls and the staff is really friendly. Come for the great menu, stay for the atmosphere.

Definitely a local favorite; felt very homey! Great service, great coffee, great place!!

Very chill place to hangout and enjoy coffee and pastries. Great café con leche

They have the best Mexican hot chocolate!! They also have a really nice atmosphere if you want to do work or study!

Comfy, cool neighborhood cafe. My favorite place to study, work, and meet up with nice folks. Their chai lattes and sandwiches are delish.

Nice atmosphere ... open mic music 6:00 to 9:00 PM on Thursdays.

😃Pretty cool atmosphere !!! Coffee is pretty good but not very unique. Service is excellent and the staff is very friendly. Overall a great place to grab a coffee and relax.

Took 10 minutes to get my coffee literally. And the blended coffee tasted like ice with a little flavor. The place looks great however the service was slow. I would not go again for coffee. Nightlife looked fun and the servers were friendly.

Good coffee and food. The atmosphere.is unique and may not be right for everyone. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the long wait (~ 25 minutes) for our sandwiches.

A cool, fun and eclectic coffee shop, with amazing coffee and pour overs. There are some things to eat. Get the PB&J!

This is the place to go for good coffee, open mic nights, and skeletons. Mainly skeletons.

My very favorite Barista Flavia makes an AMAZING Mexican Mocha with a hint of Lavender for me (its delicious!). I simply love her! Everybody there is really nice. Grounded people, organic and vegan choices, local wares are supported (hand made coffee cups, art on walls, delicious little treats). The vibe is nice. Lots of space to do work or study if you need to. Comfortable chairs to curl up ans read a book in. Youll enjoy this place very much!

Here on a Sunday. New staff needs to better their customer service skills!Was there from 12-4pm.

Here is a quaint coffee house. The baristas are always friendly and chill. It often has musical acts on Saturday evenings and I can always find a table or chair (which is perfect since I usually like to study or read a book)

Always a great time. Owners are terrific. A great vibe.

Consistently amazing drinks and food. Great little eco friendly coffee spot.

We visit every time were in Long Beach. The owner is always super welcoming and friendly. This is a place worth spending time at, and the coffee is incredible! Gotta try the Mexican Mocha!

Great brewed coffee! Affordable prices and typical struggling artist vibes.

The banana oatmeal protein shake! omg it is to die for and theyre so amazing to even add spinach if you like. I love this place super cute and could always daze off looking at the art work on the walls

This funky coffeehouse is also an art gallery and live entertainment venue, and serves up some of the best coffee in the area. We admired the colorful drawings of childhood imaginary friends, and started chatting with a group of peace activists who regularly use the coffeeshop as a home base. It had just started to rain, and so we ordered a mug of Mexican mocha with almond milk (the chocolate in the drink was blended BEFORE they steamed the milk), and settled into a comfy couch. The calendar of events had something interesting at least twice a week for the next few months – can’t wait to return!

Cute neighborhood Coffee House. I came on a Sunday and had my coffee grounds read by a gypsy. It was fun. Lots of live performances. On the negative theres no air conditioning.

Had a Killer Tomato sandwich and a Chai. Both were great. Atmosphere is also very appealing.

Great coffee house. Friendly staff. I ordered and enjoyed a double soy Mexican Mocha. Will come here again👍

Cafe con leche is great and I dont like coffee much. Killer tomato bagel is awesome as well.

Cool place with an awesome coffee latte. Try their Killer Tomato while you are there.Restroom needs a little cleaning but besides that u can utilize the place as your office.

Wonderful place to listen to talented voices and relax with a refreshing drink.

Espresso is always on point.Bonus points: Music & poetry venue.Bela Rules

Great, accommodating staff. They helped me to create a horchata coffee drink! The coffee here is delicious. Only problem is how hot it gets in the summer...seems there is no ac.

Ive been going here since before I was in preschool with my family and I have never had any bad experience here. All the workers here are extremely kind, and the baffles and drinks are delicious
