Bliss Coffee & Bakery 340 1/2 East 4th Street, Long Beach, CA 90802

"Came here twice on my recent trip. I was here for work and stayed around the block. Cozy and clean place with a nice selection of pastries... but the real star of the show is the coffee! I'm from Seattle so I know good coffee and this rivals some of my favorite spots at home. Hope to be back soon!"

"I always go to Higher Taste for the hemp kale bowl (with tofu instead of tempeh) and the avocado jalapeño burger and noticed today they opened up a coffee shop on the far end of the restaurant. Asheesh the barista working recommended the "bliss brew" because I wanted something a little chocolaty with my lunch. And my oh my, he was right! Sweet but not too sweet, with just a hint of vanilla. I'll definitely be back for this epic treat--thanks Asheesh for putting a little pep in my step today!"

"Bliss lives up to its name! The matcha latte I had was just that—pure BLISS! So excited about this new plant-based coffee shop. No up-charge for oat or almond milk, as it should be. This new spot is inside Higher Taste (fka Long Beach veg staple “Ahimsa”) and is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The vibe is bright, clean and full of LIFE with plants and vibrant paintings adorning the walls and windows. I’ve over the completely “sad beige” & whitewashed vibe of most coffee shops—this spot nails cozy, clean and cute."

"I ordered a dirty chai from Bliss coffee and LOVED it. It was literally so good, and so was the service and atmosphere. I’m excited to start my day here in the mornings!! :)"

"I’ve been to every coffee shop in Long Beach and this one is my fave. It’s totally plant-based! Most coffee shops that do great espresso have a cold vibe, but this space is so inviting, clean, cute + friendly PLUS espresso is great. I’ve ordered a few drinks and they blew me away! Their chai is the most legit chai I’ve had in the U.S… it’s an authentic blend of spices …not some gross syrup. I’ve had their mocha too and it’s amazing- the espresso flavors come through and the syrups are all house made. Macchiato is legit. Love it."
