Sheldrake Coffee Roasting

The ambience is lovely. The coffee selection is top notch. Bakery features a good sized muffin, not a midget size. The servers are very real people who enjoy working for Mike. I never not get my coffee at Pollys.

This place is the best. I can remember going here as a child with my mom. They roast their beans right there in a small roaster. I can smell them roasting from my house when the wind blows right. It's just the best thing ever. My current favorite bean is the Tanzanian Peaberry. Head on in here for great coffee and a true piece of Belmont Shore history.

I was looking for tea & found Sheldrake has so many different types! Decided to try a 16oz Sencha (green tea). One ounce of loose leaf tea is put in a tea bag, appearing to be about four times more tea than I've had. Heck yea!

Interior is very comfortable, and the patio is welcoming with lots of seating & umbrellas.

I will be coming back for more! Cheers!!

Coffee is very good. I was hoping to get a 32oz Full French Roast Pot, but they don't make it anymore. If anyone knows where I can get a 32oz or larger cup of coffee, let me know. I'm looking for a place that has a large cup like that for about $4. I ended up getting the Vienna Roast which was bomb. Will definitely be back when in the area.

I love this place! It's authentic Long Beach at it's best! My favorite is the Polly's French Roast but it's all good. The owner Mike, is often at the shop and is very active in the local community. That means it's full of locals who understand how important it is to buy local.

What's unique about Polly's vs other national chains is that besides the very friendly staff and the quality product, Polly's has a roasting machine in the store. I love the way the store smells and that they create the product themselves. Pretty cool!

Freshly roasted coffee, with a born on date, in a room dominated by the roaster. Shipped about five feet. If you want professionally made, fresh coffee, from people who know what they are doing, this is the place.

Scones, muffins and pastries baked on site, a large coffee that really is, (20 oz.) and a cozy place to sit and enjoy them. What more could you ask? My new favorite place at my very favorite prices!!

What's to write about the locally, world famous Polly's Gourmet Coffee that hasn't already been said? The owner Mike's terrific sense of humor? The amazing friends you make there over the years? The unique coffee blends and how much Mike teaches you about coffee making in a few sentences?

Polly's is an institution and was one of the original places where people could stop, unplug, sit, and drink a really good cup of coffee. It's a neighborhood coffee places that ships worldwide and it's been my "second office" for a decade. I miss it any day I'm not there.

Mike, you did a great job!

Don’t be fooled by the name it’s still essentially Pollys. It’s a long story ask Mike. Anyway great place, great vibe, great coffee. Being from out of town it’s nice to see that it’s still there and still the same.

If you're looking for Coffee and Teas this is a Must. Friendly service and great prices. A small town shop feeling in a big city. It's my new favorite spot.
