The Library Coffee House

Lovely atmosphere, delicious pastries, pleasant service!
The real draw to this spot is the aesthetic and the quality café accoutrement.
I wish there were more places like this!

There was one woman behind the counter and she was lovely. Offered to help as I was overwhelmed with all the wonderful food options. Total second wave coffee and not bad for that "generation". Prices were modest on drinks and food. Atmosphere was productive; good for work or a date spot. No issues with the internet which made my life easier as I stopped in to do work. If I'm back in the LB I'll definitely be checking this spot again.

First thing I noticed about this was the atmosphere. It has a very artsy and laid back vibe to it. Personally I enjoyed my time there. The coffee was delicious and they had very delicious looking pastries. I would totally go back!

This used to be my go to coffee place and favorite stop for cheesecake but their variety and quality have taken a massive downturn. The time before last the cheesecake was stale. This time it was actually spoiled. It shows they aren't managing food quality and following proper food handling and storage protocols. Have your coffee if you want, but I don't recommend any of their perishable food. I won't be back.

I used to study at the Library Coffee House when I was in college back in ‘99-‘02. I’m not surprised it’s still going strong. It’s a great atmosphere in a perfect location and I believe they still have some of the same furnishings in the store! Best coffee ever! Can’t wait to visit again!

One of the few coffee shops in Long Beach that serves coffee in a real cup, just ask the barista to have it in a mug when you order. Thank you!

Awesome people. A lot of people sit there on their laptops and do their work which is kind of fun. I got the food bowl and some coffee, really good. And the staff is super friendly.

This is one of my go-to coffee shops in the area. The staff is always very friendly, their pastries are made very well, and their coffee is tasty. They have a lot of seating but very few outlets, so charge all your devices before coming in. I've never had a problem finding parking-it's all street parking. My only complaint is that I wish they'd invest in cleaning their fabric chairs every once in a while..some of them have a not-so-great oder to them.

Great place for coffee, or just sit back, relax, and read a book, or anything you want. The owner is super nice, and they have ferocious snacks, food, and desserts. Definitely a place to remember and come back often.

Love the atmosphere, the vibe and the people. The ladies that work behind the counter are very friendly and inviting. Sadly the last few times I've been in I've noticed cockroaches. Ive also heard a few other long term customers complaining as well. This last time one ended up crawling on my date. I've also seen quite a few dead ones around the ground and bookshelves. I'm hoping they get it under control because I really LOVE this place .... for now I'll stick to my coffee and not the food until I see that they've got it under control. Still love it so much I haven't made the switch to another shop as I come in about 4 times a week.
