Steelhead Coffee
1208 E Wardlow Rd, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Steelhead Coffee is a sun-drenched Long Beach refuge where serious espresso craftsmanship meets genuinely welcoming baristas and a vibe so good that regulars have essentially moved in. The space itself is a character—beautiful natural light pouring through generous windows, thoughtful plants, great music, and plenty of room to spread out whether you're working, meeting a friend, or just settling in for the afternoon. They're experimenting with seasonal syrups like cafe de olla in their cappuccinos, and while pricing skews a bit high, the quality and atmosphere seem worth it for those seeking a cafe that feels less like a pit stop and more like a destination.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Like others, cute place, way to expensive and nothing anyone In my party wanted to come back for. Girl was very nice but im not coming here and paying 13 a latte because you need extra shots, alternative milk and then flavor. Oh then the that's not enough because they want you…
The aesthetic of the place is awesome, the light, windows and the music are very cool. Coffee wise I haven’t tried something that I would come back for, I got a chai with coconut milk for 6.50 and it’s was ok. Its a great place to work they have WiFi and the ambience is chill
