Jug Band Coffee and Tea
2771 E Broadway, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Long Beach, Jug Band Coffee and Tea feels like the kind of place where regulars become friends and layovers turn into unexpected highlights—their baristas genuinely seem to care, and the matcha and chai deserve their own devoted followings. Beyond stellar espresso drinks, they're known for homemade bagels (the jalapeño cheddar sourdough is basically legendary) and creative offerings like vegan pizza that elevate the typical coffee shop snack game. Whether you're grabbing something quick or settling in for hours, there's a warmth here that keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late.

It’s not really great for gluten free but that’s normal for coffee shops. I like the steamers: hot milk of your choice with a syrup of your choice. It was perfect to warm up with after a long day. The music plays softly in the background and you can have a conversation easily.…
