1-star location. Can’t even print a paper receipt for tax write off purposes. That’s sad.

Good service. The Mango ice tea was tasty as was the donut. Tiny little shop across from the park.

came to this little coffee shop to work for a bit and it's a cute little shop that is dog friendly. i appreciate the variety in their menu. i got an iced lavender vanilla latte and it was one of the better lavender lattes i've had compared to other places i've been. the staff and customers here are very friendly and give really great recommendations if you are new to the place. there is indoor and outdoor seating. it is pretty tiny inside though so it did feel a bit narrow and uncomfortable to get work done.

Love this place. Been coming here for upwards of 10 years. The mint mocha is the way to go. The espresso used here is excellent. Very tasty, very smooth, always gets me cranked up. The date smoothy is absolutely divine. Very small area to hang, but the artwork is cool to look at. Peter, the owner is such a chill dude. Very nice and welcoming. He often hosts beach clean ups which I have participated in, and it's always a good time to give back and "eco coffee" living up to its name. It's a quaint area where Long Beach and Lakewood intersect. The sweet Viking Village is a fun place to walk around and go about with your coffee if you'd rather walk and sip. Highly recommend walking to Once Read Books for a sip and read. (They do allow you to bring in a drink, just be mindful of not dropping it)!My only complaint are the prices. They're a bit on the overpriced side of coffee shops. It's a sweet treat every great once and awhile, but I couldn't afford to make this my go to on the daily. I'm a latte fan, so it makes it difficult for the pockets, as I also like to tip the barista serving me.

This ambiance of this coffee shop is super warm and inviting. I love the music & art & community flyers around the shop. The workers were also super sweet. My biggest problem is the coffee. I ordered the sun myst latte and it tasted the water. Very disappointing way to start my day with bad coffee.

Definitely a neat, little coffee shop. It's closely located to restaurants and has outdoor seating but just know that outside does get a lot of traffic-related noise. No offense to the large coffee shops but this is a nice, local business to visit. The service was good and friendly too. As with all my reviews - I received nothing in return for this positive review and I am an actual customer who visited on 8/12/23.

I read the reviews & i was a little skeptical but when I walked in there's just one barista he was really nice & we had a nice conversation. As per the drink it was SOOOO good. I love horchata & lattes so the two together is phenomenal. The prices are little expensive but they are a small business nothing like starbucks or peet's.

The owners are the sweetest. Pete knows his drinks and will match the milk to the flavors if you let him. Anytime I look for something he knows exactly what I'm craving. I'm not a coffee drinker yet he recommended the Horchata Latte with Coconut milk. It was so good I got hooked. Then I was looking for something different. He made me a sweet Matcha latte with oar milk. The blends compliment each other and make for a some smooth comfort drink early in the morning. The earthiness created in this little shop has such a grounding ambiance.
Great people working behind the counter. Always friendly! There coffee and frappuccinos are awesome!

Always looking for new and interesting coffee spots, I made a stop here on a Friday morning. I was shocked by how slow it was; it was 8am, what I would consider prime coffee time, and I was the only person there. The dude behind the counter didn't even notice me at first, but that's okay because there's a lot to take in when you go in there for the first time. The overall vibe of the space is definitely curated to be a chill, quirky, and creative space. The ceilings are high, which means there is plenty of space on the walls to fill with interesting artwork. There were several tables and a couple soft spaces, plus a bookshelf and really interesting music which added to the creative and curious aesthetic. The barista was super mellow and sweet too. The coffee is expensive though. I was kind of taken aback by the prices of everything. I know times are tough and everything costs a ton of money, but yikes. Would it be worth it? Was I about to be super disappointed? There was no turning back though.I ordered a medium Mayan mocha, over ice (I know, interesting choice but I love my coffee chilled). And you know what? It was worth it. The drink, despite being pretty small for the price tag, is absolutely delicious. Richly chocolate-y with a healthy dose of cinnamon and a dash of cayenne, this drink is warming despite being cold and a sweet treat without being too insanely sweet. I recommend trying this spot, if not at least once, to just soak up the vibe and caffeinate. Make it special.

I came in on a Monday a late afternoon. Thought it was nestled in a cute corner with fun decor inside. There was only one person working and they were so nice as they needed to wear many hats during close to closing. I had ordered an iced London fog with almond milk. I appreciated the heads up of the steeping time for the Earl Grey when making a London fog! That's where all the balance of flavor is to make this drink amazing. Although refreshing and a strong taste of bergamot, I didn't taste much of the vanilla. Still good, but no balance if you get me...?

A hidden gem that needs to be talked about more! Jonah (I hope I’m spelling his name right) is an absolute delight. Amazing drinks and even better service
It kinda was like Starbucks in my opinion.
