Crema's Take
“This Northside Long Beach roastery earns its stellar reputation with meticulously crafted espresso drinks—the whiskey vanilla latte and perfectly executed pour-overs like their Guatemala are standouts—paired with a genuinely welcoming crew that remembers to actually talk to you. The bright, cozy neighborhood vibe makes it equally suited for a quick caffeine boost or lingering over fresh pastries, and convenient back parking means you can actually stick around without the stress of circling the block.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

See all on Google →My fav coffee shop in Long Beach. The whiskey vanilla latte is so good. Please try this place. You won’t regret.
All about this Norfside LB shop. A chill spot with easy parking in the back. Saul was friendly and gave great recommendations for pour-overs. The Guatemala was excellent. Definitely worth a visit!

Basing this review on the coffee only the whole milk latte is a 10/10. The employee was awesome but I didn’t catch his name. I did grab a blueberry oat muffin but even after microwaving it, it didn’t taste fresh. Would definitely come back for a latte but not the muffin pastry
came here on a saturday & it was exceptional ! it's small but wasn't too busy, which worked out ! Everyone is really friendly, and the pastries were delicious. I got a Honey Oat Latte price of $6 it had a perfect balance of sweet & strong ! 10/10 my friend ordered a Burnt…
I stopped by Black Ring Coffee during a run along the LA River bike path. The shop is bright and cozy, with a warm neighborhood shop vibe. Service was friendly too. I had an iced latte and it tasted good, just a little weird that the iced drink was served in a paper cup.
