"The Merchant is one of my favorite coffee shops, the workers are amazing and keep the energy going. The pasteries are amazing as well, a little pricey but thats just how it is everywhere. They also partner with local services to hold events like game nights. Truly a coffee shop worth visiting."

"I come home to California frequently and love trying new spots with my family in Long Beach. This will be a go to spot from now on and kicking myself for not coming sooner even with it being on my list for so long. Great service, great friendly staff and great vibe inside and out. Cold brew and wife's latte were perfect and don't get me started on the soyrizo breakfast burrito, 5/5! Ill be back and im coming for those pastries next time."

"There will likely be a wait, and if the line is outside, expect at least 30 minutes. Is it worth it? Decisively so. I settled on a pumpkin crème danish and banana pancake bread and they were absolutely delicious. The coffee menu is creative, with lots of unique flavors like lavender, sage, and honey along with all the classics. Coffee tasted great and the large size had 4 espresso shots. Baristas were super friendly and not rushed, despite the wait."

"I waited more than 30 min in line because of the cinnamon rolls. I saw a influencer post it and they gave a good review and I live in the area. I was not satisfied with them. They dint have that gooey brown sugar mixture in side the layers. It was dry and the only flavor I got was the sugar from the icing. It was legit just dough cinamon powder and icing! And for them to be $10 I bought 2 it was definitely not worth the $20. I also got 2 ice coffees Horchata! And it was Amazing!!! I'd say one of the top Horchata coffees I've had! (Only reason id go back) My daughter got a blueberry muffin and it was so fluffy and moist! Overall never again getting the cinnamon rolls."

"Very cute and clean coffee shop with plenty of outside seating. I had cheese bisquets (Yum!) And decaf americano. Supergood. I think they make their pastries. A real finding today here, in Long Beach. Clean bathroom for customers."
