Delicious coffee, roasted on-site with a special connection right to the farm source. I was lucky to come when there was a ‘post SEMA’ meet cars and coffee type event and got to see some very cool cars including a HF-11 prototype by Oilstainlab which was unreal.
As a self proclaimed coffee aficionado, I can honestly say this is the best cold brew in Long Beach. Location is perfect and tge atmosphere electric. Great for car enthusiasts.
It’s a very cute truck. It’s kinda tucked away in the middle of nowhere, that or I need to get familiar with Long Beach a bit more, haha. At least you get to see great cars parked around the area. This spot only had coffee, which is fine. I got the PB fit latte. It’s a $7 16oz cup. I really enjoyed the flavor notes of this latte, I was able to get it with soy milk. The coffee has a great medium roast to it, it’s already earthy so the peanut butter adds to the nutty taste. I love when my coffee has a full mouth feel, especially if I haven’t eaten yet, it holds me off until I find some food. They have other unique coffees available, check them out.
Me and husband love trying out coffee roasters to help support their business and honestly, it just taste so much better. I just typed in coffee roasters near me and BAM, this place was top three. I was going to go with my typical vanilla iced latte but Gabby (she's awesome) recommended the 007 which is a foamy espresso, oat, and agave. Usually I don't like oat milk but this one...yo!! It was soo good! I guess it's the SHAKEN not stirred combination with the espresso and oat that made it taste so much better. I got my husband his Iced Mocha that was also good. I noticed she ground up the cocoa powder, which I thought was a cool way to incorporate in your drink. But correct me if I'm wrong, I wasn't sure what she ground up cus I didn't ask. Overall, great coffee roaster spot for those coffee lovers. Gabby was friendly and very helpful. Will be coming back soon.
Awesome coffee shop offering a variety of drinks. They recommended The “Double 07”, it was so smooth and delicious. I had to stop myself from drinking it so quickly! I got their cold brew the following morning with cream and agave which I recommend as well. I wish I wrote this review sooner so I could describe the flavors in a better manner for you. I’m glad to see this coffee shop succeeding. I went here when they were serving coffee from their small office and mainly offered drip coffee. Now it’s a full blown shop. This is mainly a To-go coffee shop, there are no chairs/tables to sit down on. Also, Please be patient with them while they make your drinks, quality over quantity. Enjoy.
