The Library Coffee House

Cute coffee shop with breakfast sandwiches and paninis. Also lots of desserts that looked delicious but I didn't try. I had the egg and cheese croissant sandwich that was really good. The place is charming with lots of antiques and books to read. You can also bring your laptop and sit in a cozy corner. Atmosphere and environment is awesome, do come and visit. Finding parking can be tough however.

Really great cozy place with chill environment and service. Good food too. Gotta try the egg and cheese croissant. Heavy atmosphere on the "library" section. Felt uncomfortable to talk. But ot was separated thank God. 🤫

perfect place to work remotely for a bit on my roadtrip! plenty of parking nearby and dog friendly inside as well, so my pup could sit with me! I enjoyed the croissant breakfast sandwich too!

Such a cute and cozy coffee shop! They have tons of seating, free Wi-Fi, great coffee with several flavors, and bakery/deli goodies.

Coffee/food: 7/10
So to be fair I only tried the coconut latte with milk substitute and the strawberry cheesecake (I was prepared for the consequences of consuming dairy that day). The coffee was pretty darn good! It didn’t come out piping hot so it cooled down pretty fast, but I finished it quickly enough to avoid it getting too cold. I think they could be just a bit more generous with the flavor, but the hint of coconut was noticeable enough to enjoy it.
The cheesecake itself was decent, but the strawberry compote on top was not. Part of me thinks it was ruined from sitting in their fridge without being covered. What people don’t always realize is food dries out when left uncovered in a refrigeration system and it can also absorb smells/tastes of other uncovered foods that share the refrigerator space. Not sure if this is why it came out so bad, or maybe it’s just my taste buds.

Service: 10/10
Top notch! The cashier was super patient, polite, knowledgeable of the menu and allowed me to custom make my coconut latte because I don’t like mocha (the only coconut option I saw was a mocha based coffee). She was the only person I interacted with so that’s unfortunately the only comment I can provide.

Environment/ambiance: 9/10
Super cozy! Lots of cushioned seats, even a couch, tables and chairs! The cushioned seats look like they could use some cleaning, but I don’t easily get grossed out and I sat on the couch without an issue. Dim lighting for a calming atmosphere but it definitely made me sleepy! I was only there for 45-mins trying to get some work done, but the late night and dim lights got me so sleepy that I decided to call it quits and head out. Next time I’m going to make my latte extra strong.

Overall this is such a cute and comfy coffee shop to chat with friends and definitely a go-to study spot. I will be back for sure.

A super cute/cool cafe. Pastries and coffee were awesome and the ambiance was terrific. It lives up to its name.

Great location, great atmosphere, awesome customer service. The manager and employees are super nice and welcoming. I feel like I could eat and study in here peacefully without feeling like I am getting edged out of my seat by any workers. They've got comfortable chairs do, major plus. The lighting in the shop is also perfect--there are some areas that are dimly lit for when I wanna be emo, while some other areas have sunlight for when I want to be a normal person. All around a great place.

Went for the first time yesterday and loved it! Very cozy, multiple chair/table options to pick from, tons of others working/studying. Ambience is on the darker side so you’re able to focus more and not get overstimulated by brightness. Yummy coffee and food. I was able to have a productive evening while enjoying a iced latte, banana cheesecake (yum!), and egg cheese croissant. I really appreciate the music not being so loud that you can’t talk or take calls. Which is often the problem at other coffee shops. I spent about $20 for a nice meal and really enjoyed the mix of all ages and types of people just doing their thing: meeting friends, studying, doing homework, working, reading, or just grabbing some yummy food. So glad my friend recommended it to me! Came back a few days later and had the pecan pie!

Cool eclectic coffeehouse with bookshelves and lots of decorative wall art. The coffee is pretty decent and the music isn't too loud but still enjoyable.
The owner seems nice and all around I had a good experience there.
I love the comfy chairs and antique wooden tables. Only downsides... No bagels, which is not really my thing but my girlfriend likes them. I will add though that they offer croissants, breakfast sandwiches, and grape leaves which is my favorite!
Sometimes it's hard to find a seat despite having an extra room to accommodate customers, because it seems to be a very popular spot!
The owner seems very nice as well. I hope they stay in business a long time because they are everything I look for in a coffee shop and they are open til 11 pm, which is awesome!

Love the vibe - think Central Perk.
- somewhat easy parking
- outlets everywhere
- coffee could be better (tastes like diner coffee)
- staff is super sweet and welcoming
- plenty of space of working/studying/reading
- serves hot and cold food
- cozy

One of the most unique and delicious coffee shops in Long Beach. Maybe anywhere? It’s an experience. You have to check it out yourself. If you like dessert coffee the heath bar coffee is one of my favorites. It’s like you step inside a coffee shop on the game animal crossing, almost therapeutic. Highly recommend as a place to study/work.
