Rad Coffee - Long Beach
3502 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“This Long Beach roast house is a genuine neighborhood gem that pairs killer espresso and pour-overs with genuine personality—think vintage punk aesthetics, pinball machines, and a menu creative enough to excite but focused enough to navigate. The locally roasted coffee hits that sweet spot of quality and accessibility (seriously, two-dollar small regulars), with a team that genuinely seems to enjoy what they're doing, whether you're grabbing a quick Americano or settling in for a signature specialty drink. It's the kind of place that feels authentically fun rather than trying-too-hard cool, where families, coffee nerds, and pinball enthusiasts all feel equally welcome.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
