Sheldrake Coffee Roasting

Sheldrake has the best beans in town. Freshly roasted on site, with a variety of sources and roasts sure to delight any palette. The folks behind the counter are friendly and knowledgeable and always smiling. No gimmicks or trendy tricks, just honest passion for the craft.I can't speak authoritatively about their baked goods as I've only tried one of their 'freshness-challenged' bran muffins (which was delicious though). I have tried enough of their coffees though, brewed by them or by myself, to say definitively that the coffee here is truly excellent.

Delicious coffee with a selection of pastries, my only complaint they run out of bananas often it seems as the last few visits I was unable to get a banana mocha but settled on an ice blended mocha.Tried the black velvet too.Haven't tried the pastries. Parking lot can get rather full since it shares a lot with other businesses. A long time standing business with decently speedy service and a nice lounge section for enjoying a drink here with lots of newspapers to catch up on the local news.Lots of coffee related decor

This would be a 6-star place if only they allowed customers to use their bathroom. I love the vibe, the brightness of the room, the roasters in the back (that who I think is the owner let us get close to while he was roasting peanuts when we were there - super nice), the chill vibe that is totally conducive to doing some work or some reading. I know they used to allow people to use their bathrooms in the past, so I don't know what happened, but my stomach is often squirrelly, and we had to leave abruptly so I could find facilities, which is unfortunate, because I would have liked to hang out there for longer, get a snack or another coffee, and make it a more regular place for us to go when we're in Long Beach.I don't think they quite run afoul of California bathroom laws for places that serve food (they have a sign on the door), but it's a damn shame, because I could have fallen in love with this place and we could have had a wonderful long term relationship. Alas.

Great bagels very good coffee and great patio, very good service Perfect coffee spot to meet friends or first date

There's a reason sheldrake has dedicated and loyal customers. They have authentic, fresh and delicious coffee that they grind on site. It's like walking into a coffee history museum. They have signs of their roasting bean days so you know what the most fresh product will be. Although I'm a decaf girly, I can confidently say their decaf drip was delicious, crisp and abundant. A great price too, starting at $2-3. If you're any type of coffee fan, this is the spot to visit on 2nd.

Drip coffee made fresh daily with a large variety of roasted beans to choose from including at least 5 decaf options. I ordered a cafè au lait with whipped cream with Vienna decaf roast. Smooth, creamy and great tasting. Of all the other coffee places on 2nd street this is highly underrated and deserves more recognition. If you want a no frills, truly crafted coffee shop, try Sheldrake.

Sheldrake has the best Chai Tea Latte in Long Beach. Every sip of their Chai is has perfectly balanced warmth and spice. The store itself is cozy and stylish - the type of space that invites you to sit down and stay awhile. Also, Sheldrake offers ample seating on their outdoor patio. The service at Sheldrake is truly top-notch. The staff is aways kind and attentive, they never make me feel rushed during the ordering process. They're extremely knowledgeable about their expansive coffee and tea selections and even allow you to bring your own to-go cups. One hot tip about Sheldrake - there's a parking lot right next door that has ample, free parking. You don't have to worry about hunting for a spot or feeding a meter, which makes the experience much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Sheldrake, it's one of the best and most convenient coffee shops in Long Beach.

While visiting California I popped in to grab a coffee and a almond croissant. Both were worth stopping for. Coffee smelled and tasted very earthy and spices came through the pumpkin spice latte.

It's nice to have a $4 cup of coffee again... Well, technically we had espressos, but you know what I mean. It's been a while since we've been here, but we gave them another try. Tastes just like it used to 4 years ago, so that was great.

I looked up coffee and this was one of a few shops on 2nd Street that popped up. This cute little coffee shop also roasts a variety of coffee beans. The employees were friendly and the inside of the shop was comfy and cozy. The enclosed patio was perfect on this warm, sunny SoCal morning. The mocha lattes were a nice mix of hot, sweet and just the right amount of chocolate for me. We forgot to ask what beans these were. The plus side was I didn't have to add any sweetener. Yes, sadly I've had to add sweetener to mocha lattes in the past. The bakery case did not have anything appealing to us today. All items were individually wrapped. I'm not sure who they get their baked goods from. I noticed there were some bagels, a few pastries, and a couple of scones. After enjoying our mocha lattes in their sunny patio we had to get back on the road to visit more accounts. Before leaving we picked up a couple of bags of beans for our cousin to pull and for us to try. We can't wait!
