"Super cool place! So cozy, free internet and water! My latte tasted really good! It is a little pricey though!"

"This was a super cool and cute spot! Loved the service, atmosphere, coffee and pastries! The staff was so nice and patient with new customers!"

"One of my favorite spots in Long Beach, so far. Just a roomy, chill cafe with a library aesthetic. The coffee is fine, the food is warm and made at your request. They also have a variety of pastries. There's free WiFi (with purchases) and there's plenty of electrical outlets for patron use."

"I travel around the country checking out coffee spots and was really looking forward to my visit at The Library in Long Beach, and woke up at 5:30am to assure I got there shortly after they opened. Initially this place has the looks and feel of a great coffee culture spot, that is, until you see the digital billboard menus with like a million food and drink items listed. Although put off by the tacky menus, I was determined to like this place. I ordered a large cappuccino and an egg and cheese english muffin for dine in. I got nestled at a table near the window while I waited for my order. Order came up quick. My cappuccino was in a to-go cup. This is a huge pet peeve of mine: cafes who have actual mugs not using them for sit in service. I should not have to request a mug if I’ve made it clear I am dining in. I sighed to myself and took my order to my table to enjoy. The cappucino was horrible! Watered down and scalding, scalding hot. The egg and cheese sandwich looked unappealing, but it tasted good. What a disappointment. I gobbled down my sandwich and threw out the cappucino so I could hop the bus to go to a nearby coffee spot that I know is good. Three things The Library needs to do to be worth a visit: streamline the menu (get rid of 75% of the food stuff); dump the tacky digital menus; and focus on learning to make quality coffee drinks. The service was meh."

"Great food and service, my one problem is how incredibly crowded it can get! Keep that in mind when coming here, as a seat may not be available for your party. Even if you are just walking in though, the food and drinks are great."
