Carmen's Coffee Company
5790 2nd St, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Long Beach coffee truck brings genuine warmth to every order, with staff that regulars praise for their kindness and a welcoming energy that keeps people coming back. Beyond traditional lattes, Carmen's shines with creative seasonal drinks and signature creations like their banana foster polar and spiced chai latte, paired with delicious light bites like jalapeño turkey bakes and vegan chocolate donuts that surprise even non-vegans. It's the kind of convenient neighborhood gem that works equally well for a quick grab before hitting Mother's Beach or settling in to meet a friend, all while sipping something special you won't find everywhere else.”

Very friendly and welcoming ! I had the vegan chocolate donut ( I’m not vegan) it was delicious! I have the spiced chai latte and it is delicious! I’m just visiting CA, so this was a great local spot to visit!!
Adorable coffee truck with seasonal drinks and a super convenient location. Grabbed an eggnog latte here awhile back before strolling around Mother's Beach and Naples. There was no wait when I arrived, the barista was very friendly and my latte was delicious 👌🏽 highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
I found this gem after extensive research as we're from NJ and were staying in the area for the holidays. The staff was so kind and warm...in a way that I've never experienced back home. It was truly a heartwarming welcome to the west coast! The coffee drinks were some of the most delicious and creative I've ever had!! If you're adventurous, try La Blanca Dura. Delicious yemeni spice and a naturally sweet, nutty taste. Even my non coffee drinker boyfriend liked it! It made me buy a bag of white coffee to replicate it at home. Their cold foam topped beverages were delicious!! I tried the Frosty Mint and Sugar Cookie. The flavors did not taste artificial at all! The pequeñas were such a nice touch! Their Chai is beautifully spiced! I highly recommend..but it's not for the faint of heart! Walking to Carmens each morning was definitely a highlight of our visit to Long Beach. We'll be back 🥰
Everything was delicious! They have some searing options. Gluten free options were delicious! It was difficult to hear them calling out orders cause the car wash behind them is loud, but totally worth it.
First time trying Carmen’s coffee & it was amazing! I tried the banana foster (polar which is iced/blended) & to eat I had the jalapeño turkey bake, all delicious! My mom had the house latte & ate a huevo prensado, she loved it! Drinks & food were a 10/10 & the service was friendly & sweet. I will definitely be going again 😊
