A place to meet friends, catch up on studying and make part of an everyday routine, a coffeehouse offers more than just a morning cup of Joe. Located throughout Downtown Long Beach, a busy district full of nonprofit organizations, businesses and residences, coffeeshops provide a chance to take a break from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

The Business Journal, in collaboration with the Downtown Long Beach Alliance, compiled a list that showcases the area’s coffee scene. Ranging from espresso to boba tea, downtown cafes carry a variety of coffee and tea favorites for business people on the go, out-of-town visitors and local coffee lovers.

Co-owners Tom West and Shannon Francis are pictured inside Long Beach Coffee and Tea, which they opened at 480 Pine Ave. about four months ago. A customer enjoying a cup of coffee said she visited the shop when it first opened and has been coming in ever since. The shop offers espresso and craft coffee, teas and specialty drinks.
