DJune 23, 2012First time & immediately impressed! Very friendly employee - didn't rush us in ordering & explained delish foods. Perfect cappuccino & chai tea latte. Stoked on my lox & bagel served Sat & Sun only :)
Kat 🐱July 27, 2019👍: Great live jazz music! Reliable WiFi and plenty of outlets make it a great place to study/work too.👎: The Zucchini Nut Bread tastes pretty bland💔
Douglas MasonJuly 27, 2015Though it can be very crowded at times, it still provides the space for intimate conversations. Eclectic yet comfortable, Portfolio is becoming my "must go" place for the better moments in my life.
Rachel RebeccaNovember 18, 2016I have there azai berry viscous tea and those were really good. I also had their cheese bar, which is like a cheesecake, which was really delicious as well. The service here was decently friendly.
Lauren BatesFebruary 25, 2020It can be hard to find a seat, but I like coming to this coffee shop when I'm in the area. Hot and iced drinks are both great here, and sometimes they have live music.
Heba-I-amAugust 20, 2017The redeye is the way to go whether iced or hot. Friendly staff. Not sure about the baked products, I've seen some stuff that stayed there for a couple of days. Just saying 💁🏻 great coffee though- ron [k]February 8, 2016Great service, chill atmosphere, outside smoking, eclectic crowd! I've been a regular here for years and it's a definite favorite spot of mine!
- ron [k]February 8, 2016Fri/Sat nights would be even better here if they stayed open past 10pm, say Midnight. I remember when they used to be open until 2am! Still a great hangout!
Great, fast service. Fun, spacious seating areas. Delicious iced coffee. I look forward to exploring more of the menu here!
Joe SheppardDecember 1, 2014Recover after hitting the 4th street thrift shops with a passable Illy coffee and some comfy armchairs. Looks like a chill spot to study on weekdays too.
Global HighlanderOctober 4, 2014Really great coffee shop with plenty of seating for you to get some work done or talk with friends.
Dave EatsSeptember 19, 2014get the "4x Sanchez" wake you up quick style with less milk, just like I make it at home, now that is perfection! <3
Hunter ThomasApril 2, 2015Great coffee shop with lot of seating options and free wifi with good strength. Pastries good, too.
Stephen TisdaleSeptember 21, 2013New interior design is interesting. More like cold Clockwork Orange than warm Twin Peaks. I miss the old furniture. Still same locals. Great iced mocha.
Favorite coffee house in Long Beach. Great interior, cozy, excellent coffee, & great sandwiches. I could waste an entire day in here with no guilt. ;)
Must come before 5pm if you haven't eaten and need food before buckling down for a work/study session. Kitchen closes at 5pm. Learned the hard way.
Victoria CuarteroSeptember 16, 2013This place is a Long Beach gem! Great ambience for meetings, writing, and studying. Awesome drinks and awesome staff!
To the old hag that decided to sit at the same table with me. Go yap on your cellphone about Martha Stuart elsewhere o_O. This coffee shop is amazing though. :-) *nomnom*
Lily WolfrumSeptember 15, 2013This is a true neighborhood coffee shop. Bring a book, write on your laptop and feel free to linger.- Kat 🐱July 27, 2019The matcha latte with macadamia nut milk tasted terrible... Their matcha powder didn't have any flavor, and they didn't mix it well so I got a chunk of powder on the bottom of the cup...
You'll need to buy something to obtain a code for the time limited wifi. Great place to study or relax.
I love the lox bagel. Lox, herbed cream cheese, chives, and capers. Very generous portions of lox too!
Ashley HawkinsNovember 16, 2011Good enough to stop by if you're in a mad rush and can't go anywhere else. If you're a serious coffee drinker (like me) I suggest you skip.
Worth the wait! Tis a great coffee house. Check in on yelp for 20% off yo!
Great place to study, enjoy wifi, mingle with people, many of them repeaters, relax and enjoy good music... Not stuffy like Starbucks...
Peter CybulskiJanuary 21, 2012Their coffee is great here. The lines can be long, so be prepared for a slight wait.
Very friendly atmosphere and eEverthing they serve are fresh and delicious.
McCanne SanfordNovember 29, 2011Listen to everyone, Mexican Hot Chocolate is number 1, don't visit without getting it!
Cherilynn CamerinoOctober 20, 2010mexican hot chocolate mocha is the business... and yes, this place reminds me of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. as well... this place is perfect.
If you want tea, get a mix of the Yerba mate and raspberry black loose leaf. It's the best!!
Their Mochas are good. Also you could get a freebie after 10
