Javatinis Espresso

★★★★☆ 4.2 (476) • $

"I'm always pleasantly surprised by the wholesomeness of the Seal Beach business community and Javatinis is no exception. This storefront sits in downtown and specializes in coffee, smoothies, baked goods, and light bites. The cafe is on the smaller side with just a few tables for those who prefer to sip their caffeine in person. I stopped by for a grab-and-go situation and ordered their matcha frap and the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich was the perfect size and gave me just enough energy to get the day started. A matcha frap might not have been the best move on a rainy afternoon, but I loved the taste and sweetness level regardless.I also adore how community-forward this coffee shop is. Visitors can explore their walls filled with photos of the Javatinis team dating back to 2013, business cards connecting you to local trades, and posters for upcoming events. You truly feel like you're in a small town exploring Seal Beach and I love that Javatinis leans into this identity."

Stereoscope Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (300) • $$

"My buddy and I had finished a delicious dim sum lunch nearby. We had more to discuss so we looked for coffee. We weren't sure about the "Stereoscope" name, but when I poked my head in the door the delicious aroma of coffee pulled us in!The interior is rather barebones with a long counter and stools for seating. It is light and bright, and the server who assisted us was so helpful and friendly. The coffee was delicious! We sat in front on a comfortable bench out in the cool January sun. The world swirled past, we talked, we smiled, we laughed. I can't wait to come back again!"

Rose Park Roasters

★★★★☆ 4.3 (235) • $$

"This coffee shop is fantastic for self-study or a small-sized group chat. The shop is airy and bright from natural and hanging lights. I ordered the AMERICANO to drink inside, and they poured the drink into a porcelain mug. The service took less than a minute. They also have free Wi-Fi and a few outdoor tables by the walkway. Two-hour street parking is available around the neighborhood. Make sure to check the time when there is street cleaning. The atmosphere was amazing, and I wasn't distracted studying. I'm definitely returning to this place."

One Twelve Caffe

★★★★★ 4.5 (180) • $$

"This spot is a one-stop shop with a diverse menu, located in Downey Landing near the cinema. I came across it while searching for coffee options and was drawn in by its menu. One of its standout features is a robotic arm that makes espresso shots, though it was unfortunately out of service due to a software update, so I didn't get to see it in action. The interior is stylish and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating available.Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Brian, the manager, who was in the middle of training a new employee. As he took my order, he carefully explained each step to the trainee, which I appreciated. I ordered a hot Biscoff Cookie Latte in a large size. If you want to upgrade any drink from regular to large, it's just an additional $1.While waiting, I browsed their selection of pastries and other menu items. As I was exploring, the trainee personally delivered my drink, but it was a regular size instead of a large. When I pointed it out, they quickly realized the mistake, apologized, and promptly corrected my order.Since it was raining, I was really looking forward to a comforting cup of coffee, and overall, it delivered. The best part was that the latte wasn't overly sweet, despite the Biscoff cookie flavor. I expected a stronger Biscoff cookie flavor, but it was quite subtle, mostly tasting of vanilla. I also wished the drink had been hotter. Maybe next time, I'll ask if they offer an "extra hot" option.Will be definitely going back with kids to try their other menu options."

The Lost Bean Roastery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (34)

"Stopped by here the other day since I was going into work late. I have passed it numerous times and knew I had to stop. The coffee shop is new to the neighborhood so it doesn't get too busy. There is a 30 minute parking area in front for those quick pit stops for some joe and a delicious hot pastry or breakfast item. As soon as I walked in, I was mesmerized on how big it was. There is so much room with plenty of seating. For those who telecommute, they have private meeting rooms to reserve for some alone/quiet time. You can talk to the cashier to book but I heard it is first come first serve. I ended up speaking with the cashier and barista since it was my first time visiting. They recommended a hot La Paz with oat milk. OMG it was delicious. The latte has brown sugar so I was a bit hesitant but it was surprisingly not too sweet. I also ended up buying a heart shaped rice Krispie treat which was also yummy and not to sweet. Overall, greta coffee shop and close to work. Looks like I will be making more stops here before I go into work."
