Crema's Take

Hot Java is a beloved neighborhood spot in Long Beach where the vibe is genuinely cozy and the staff radiates warmth, even when the menu runs short (a sign they're making things fresh). Their specialty drinks like the 24K latte are real standouts worth seeking out, though fair warning: come prepared with WiFi sorted before you order, since their network can be finicky. It's the kind of place that feels like a friend's living room—perfect for lingering with good coffee and company, just maybe grab a seat and settle in before the afternoon crowd gets thick.

Could not got on their WiFi - tried all three of their networks over and over again, had to leave. Do not go if you need WiFi, OR get on their network before you order anything. I have to go somewhere else now.

Watch out for people coming in and crowding around certain customers. They will usually enter wearing a bright colored shirt, colored hair, or wearing something that stands out in the room. They will come sit next to you. Other people will show up after and start crowding around you. The staff is aware of what is going and actively participating in it.

Sharing a picture of the ham and swiss croissant that I just got. Very odd looking croissant, nothing like the beautiful ones in the display case. Disappointed.

Excellent coffee….my first time visiting here with a friend. Unfortunately they were out of lots of things on their menu. I really think that’s a positive thing too…very friendly atmosphere and staff is so sweet and welcoming…definitely will not be the last time I come here after my morning stroll…our coffees were great and the bagel was yummy. Inside is open they have tables outside too..following the COVID regulations and social distancing so if you’re in this side of Long Beach come try them out…
