The Library
3418 E Broadway, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“The Library is a cozy, roomy Long Beach cafe with a charming library aesthetic that draws crowds for its welcoming vibe and solid coffee, though you'll want to arrive early or off-peak to snag a seat. The staff shines with genuine warmth and patience, the pastries and made-to-order food hit the spot, and free wifi makes it ideal for settling in with your laptop for a few hours. Just know that popularity means it can get wonderfully chaotic during busy times, so come with flexibility and an appreciation for a lively, community-minded atmosphere.”

I had a bit of trouble finding a table, and the quality of the items I ordered—the cheesecake and the drink—was unfortunately not what I was hoping for. The service lacked warmth. I share these thoughts in hopes that it helps the team refine things moving forward.
Super cool place! So cozy, free internet and water! My latte tasted really good! It is a little pricey though!
Great food and service, my one problem is how incredibly crowded it can get! Keep that in mind when coming here, as a seat may not be available for your party. Even if you are just walking in though, the food and drinks are great.
One of my favorite spots in Long Beach, so far. Just a roomy, chill cafe with a library aesthetic. The coffee is fine, the food is warm and made at your request. They also have a variety of pastries. There's free WiFi (with purchases) and there's plenty of electrical outlets for patron use.
This was a super cool and cute spot! Loved the service, atmosphere, coffee and pastries! The staff was so nice and patient with new customers!
