Confidential Coffee

First time here! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted. I asked for a recommendation at the front and decided on the mazapán iced latte--it was a 10/10! They also offer WiFi and have a printer available. I loved my drink and will definitely be back!Bonus: Add your number to collect rewards!

I live literally in the apartments next to Confidential and I visit this place way too much. The aura here is cozy and I can see myself spending winter inside long-term. There are not enough of these cozy coffee shops around nowadays... like, coffee shops need more couches and communal plushy chairs. A few favorites of mine are the white mocha, pour-over, and the Mexican mocha. They have loads of artwork all over the place, which adds to the artsiness and the coziness. I think some portraits and paintings are for sale too, so it's nice to see them support artists! This world needs more art - a break from technology, and honestly everything about this coffee shop represents the importance of art and tangibility. The staff here are amazing and will remember your order, but honestly that's probably just me because I come here so much BUT STILL... they're super nice! I don't see enough people coming here, so it'd be nice if y'all would join me and start visiting Confidential regularly. 10/10 good place to study and yap quietly.

The Mexican Mocha here tasted AMAZING!!! I chugged it all down because it tasted like chocolate milk. Needless to say I needed to use the restroom soon after because I forgot about the coffee with it.I had a warm and toasted breakfast sandwich plate while I did some laptop studying done. The cafe is beautifully decorated, super cozy, and there's local artwork displayed along the walls!! The staff were all very friendly and kind. I want to thank them for their generosity during their 6th birthday event. It was truly an unforgettable cafe experience and I'm super happy to have gone here. We parked at a garage nearby but there's also street parking. Next door parking appears to be for Rite Aid only.

Was lucky enough to come here during their 6th birthday anniversary celebration!! The cafe is Latino-influenced and their menu consists of various coffee drinks showcasing the culture. My partner and I got the breakfast sandwiches and the Rompope latte (requested for no pecan shavings due to a nut allergy) as well as the Mexican Mocha.My boyfriend stated that the Mexican Mocha tasted just like chocolate milk and he couldn't help but chug it all down. The coffee was also strong and I felt its effects immediately and it lasted for most of my day!Back to the birthday festivities, there was a free photobooth, local vendors selling merchandise, live cumbia music, and all sorts of activities laid out on the tables. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming, being an LGBTQ-POC safe space as well. Stayed here for a few hours and enjoyed the time inside. Best chances of parking is the parking garages that offer 2 hours free around the blocks but there is also street parking.Printer available for use, free Wifi, unique decor, dog-friendly with an impressive pup menu, great to get work done or for laptop studying, etc.! This cafe is so good in all fronts, love love this for the community!!

The vibe is chill, nicely decorated, and the music playing while I was there was lovely. The service was quick and the baristas were very kind. I got a horchata cold brew and I have no notes, it was quite good! I would definitely come back here to try other menu items. They also mentioned having house-made syrups which, to me, is a sign of a good quality coffee shop.

Such a cute cafe very intentional community space. Games and seating aplenty, great music, nice decor and natural light. The barista was helpful and kind and the ginger tea was DELICIOUS! The horchata latte was cool too. If you're in the area def stop by to work (plenty of space and outlets), chill, read, or have a cute lil date

Great little local spot in downtown Long beach. I had to kill time before an event and this seemed like a good place with plenty of seating. Nisreenn was so sweet and made my seasonal mexican egg nog latte perfectly! It was one of the ones she recommended and it was good! Not too sweet and had a nice citrus peel (I think!) on top. There is communal bench seating as well as a small couch and about 5 cushioned chairs. They also had a nice Christmas tree and bookshelf which gave it a very cozy vibe. I don't live in the area but I would definitely be back the next time I am.

I'm confident that you'll like Confidential Coffee or your time back reading this review!Well, maybe I can't do anything about the time, but I do believe you'll have a nice time at Confidential Coffee whether you're here to get some work done, play a board game, or even pick up a cup of Joe!I placed this coffee shop on my radar due to their participation with Fivestars, and I wanted to give them a try, especially since they were pretty close to the City Place A Parking Lot in DTLB where the first two hours of parking are free. The lot adjacent to Confidential Coffee is for Rite Aid customers only, so unless you plan to shop at Rite Aid, don't park there. If you park at the City Place A lot, you simply have to double-cross one intersection before you end up at this Latinx owned coffee shop on the northeast corner of 6th and Pacific.I had a Fivestars reward for two drinks, but the barista had a difficult time applying it to my order. He could see the offer on my account, so he simply honored it for me. They have menus on their front counter for both coffee and tea. It was mid-afternoon when I visited, a little late in the day for me to be drinking coffee, so I went with two cups of tea. Which flavors though?I had been going through quite a lot, and I just wanted some me time in the coffee shop. Herbal Tea sounded like the way to go. They offer three: Feel Better, Yoga Blend, and Ruby Nectar. I went with the first two, though I'd be open to trying the Ruby Nectar on a future visit!It wasn't specified on the counter menu, but the teas can be prepared either hot or iced. I wanted to try one hot and one iced so that I could enjoy the iced tea while letting the hot tea cool down. The description for Yoga Blend contained the word "warming", so I decided to order the Yoga Blend hot and the Feel Better iced to make it easier for me to remember which one was hot and which was cold for the purposes of captioning my photos.The barista was pretty friendly, but also kind of slow at preparing my drinks. I didn't recall seeing any other customer come in after me, but it took almost 10 minutes for my first drink, the Feel Better, to come out. And then another 2 minutes later, the Yoga Blend came out.Both of the drinks really hit the spot, and in different ways. I sat at a couch in the rear of the shop directly in front of a painting depicting Frida Kahlo.Next to that couch is a printer, and behind that printer is the information you need to connect to their WiFi. Actually, they have that info posted in several places around the shop, so you shouldn't have to be moving any furniture or other equipment just to connect to their WiFi.After connecting to their WiFi, I got to disconnect from the physical world, at least outside of the shop, and scroll through Yelp, trying to decide on what restaurant to go to that evening.With other customers in the shop getting some work done, the barista would sometimes take breaks by going to the back every so often. I didn't see anyone else working besides him, so I'm guessing it's not that busy during the course of the day, or at least closer to closing time at 5 PM on weekdays, except for Mondays when they close at 9 PM. Why so late? They do trivia on Mondays at 7 PM.The interior decor has some really nice artwork that you can appreciate if you are into the arts or even just Latinx culture. There's even a picnic table where you can play a little chess, or if you're into other board games, you may find a better one on the bottom of a bookcase by the front window. The bookcase has plenty of books that I guess you could call it a mini library.Case in point, there's plenty to do in this shop while you sip on your drinks. Overall, a nice place to hang out and relax after a tough day of work.

This place is such a perfect local Latinx coffee shop! PARKING & LOCATION //It's located on 6th in between Pacific and Pine. It's small so you can easily miss it. Parking is available on the street or there is free 2-hour parking in the structure if you pass Pine a bit. Note about the street parking: You can get 15 minutes free so if you're just grabbing to go, this would be a solid option.DRINKS //I've tried a few things my partner has ordered but I've gone back multiple times for the seasonal HORCHATA MATCHA. It is GOOD. Seriously, I've ordered it three times now. It's not too sweet but gives you a perfect cinnamon matcha flavor. I love it and would highly recommend.AMBIANCE //This place gives off the best cozy vibes. There is a long table you can sit at as well as some high tops and couch/lounge areas. This would be a great place to do work, study, read, etc. The staff are super friendly as well.OVERALL // 5 starsExactly what I love for a coffee shop. Will be back!

I am obsessed with this place. I love trying new coffee shops and was excited to try this place to get some work done while waiting for my sister to get done with the gym. I got the confidential iced tea which was a fruity tea with a hint of cucumber. The tajin rim was delicious. The internet was fast, there was a decent amount of seating and I am excited to try their other drinks!
