The Library Coffee House

Been here plenty of times and I appreciate the relaxes, and mostly quiet, ambiance.
The coffee is good and the pastries are delicious - the fruit tart never disappoints.
There is an array of bookshelves full of books for you to browse and read at your leisure.
Four stars because I don't always feel totally welcomed. Half of the time the customer service is right on point and half of the time it falls short.

Honestly, we expected so much better.

Walking in, the vibes were good. Friendly faces, good people, cozy environment... But that's about where it ended.

After we ordered, her London Fog came out with the wrong milk, wrong consistency, and overall tasted horrible.

I got an oat milk cappuccino which was very, very wet.

On top of that, the strawberry croissant was still doughy and inedible, and the carrot cake while tasting good, was basically as dense and dry as a granola bar.

Overall, for the staple of Long Beach, it was a massive disappointment.

Great place with interesting design.The coffee is great, the staff very friendly, the smoothie I got was

The Library is cozy, friendly, and comfortable, with top notch coffee offerings and a small menu of delectables. Huge north-facing windows let lots of light in. A patio, and two large rooms, offer lots of seating options.

If you are ever in this gem of Long Beach, here's some advice, try a slice of the lemon cake, it is the best lemon cake I have ever had. Off of there specialty menu, I loved the Heath bar l, as well as the vanilla goddess.
The ambiance is cool and calm, service is too notch.
Try the lemon cake!

I tried the Lemonade , bagel and an apricot tart. Everything tasted great and the service was lovely. I'll definitely be back.

Incredibly beautiful coffee house steps away from the beach. This is the kind of the place where you order a mug of cappuccino and spend the day working or reading a book. They have added outdoor tables to sit down as well, but it's really the rustic ambiance inside that makes this place outstanding.

Wonderful place! The staff was super nice, they even customized the order that was not included on the menu, and the coffee and pastries were delicious.

Coffee was too hot to drink, even after waiting 20 minutes. Taste was really poor, tasted like water and paper.

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.
