so disappointed in this establishment! truly dumbfounded! shame on managements for hiring people who don't have the ability to hold a mature conversation and have the emotional intelligence to NOT raise their voices and YELL at their customers. No wonder this place is mostly ALWAYS empty. Flabia the manager, and the two women who were working there made so many assumptions, stating that i was "freeloading" because i had not purchased anything. i simply came over to check out the community activities that are held there, and to see when the next book club event would be. i come here frequently and do make purchases. Where is it stated anywhere in the coffee shop, that one must make a purchase in order to obtain this information? i was not even using their wifi connection either. i was also not the only person in the room, there were 2 other customers yet they came to yell at me, as i was packing up my book bag. overall very disheartened with this establishment. that is not how you treat your customers, and those who come over frequently. i will not be encouraging others in the community to support this establishment and the activities they hold there. not a good representation of the latinx or lgbtqia community.

I haven't been in this place in years before today. I used to live a block away and go all the time but have since moved too far to be in the neighborhood much. I've been frequenting Coffee Cup for breakfast down the street and made my way over today and I am so happy I did. It smells exactly the same as I remember it! Now there's outside seating and a one way track inside to keep people safe and distanced. The coffee is excellent and they have a killer Mexican mocha and signature cafe con leche. Then sandwiches! There's a super small menu and everything on it is unique, awesome, and delicious. The owner works there all the time keeping it real and chill and they have just great vibes and super good service. Restroom/street parking/bike parking/dog water bowl all present. Go support this bomb small business!

So Viento y Agua is such a cool coffee shop here in the Long Beach community. Kei was very nice and welcoming. She is a definite star there and hopefully you get her to assist you. Very artsy atmosphere as you can tell by some of my pictures. We ordered a Mexican coffee and it was delicious. There are comfortable sofas set around for you to choose and lounge in. If you are in the area go check it out.

I tried their Mexican Mocha which is their most popular drink along with a bagel sandwich. The coffee was decent but not spectacular. They have a variety of performances going on 2nd saturday of each month along with vendors in the front. The decor here is super cute. The barista was friendly and gave me a sample of their cold brew to try. Service can be a bit slow at times so be patient.

I've been on a mission to try as many different Mexican mochas as I can from various places. I decided to head out to Viento y Agua and visit this little coffee shop. It has a really nice coffeehouse vibe. Couches, loveseats, tables and chairs throughout the shop. I tried their version of the Mexican mocha and it wasn't overwhelming with flavor just the right mix. I got it with oat milk and prefer the flavor it gives the drink. I'll have to give their food a go next time.

When I'm in long Beach Viento y Agua is my got to place for coffee, pastries and just a straight up place to chill. There is plenty of space for people to sit inside, with lounge chairs, sofas table and high chairs. Pre-pandemic there was live music and open mic nights. Now that an outdoor patio is available it just adds an extra layer of awesome to the place. The barista's are always super cool and drinks are great. I usually go with Mexican Mocha ($5.50) which is always spectacular. As good as the Mexican mocha is I'm sure the other items are good just the same. The only issue i have is parking. It's pretty bad, to no fault of their own. There is only street parking (that i know of), not really stroller friendly because it's a cozy space. All in all i highly recommend coming here for coffee, chatting a dm just straight up chillin'.

What a vibe! Food and drinks bursting with flavor! Service top notch!

Amazing cold brew, decor is fantastic. Owner is super friendly.

They're really great here but don't expect to be able to get coffee and run. They take a very long time for drinks and sometimes food. But the bagel sandwiches are seriously delicious and the people are friendly and the decor is weird and cool.

Decent coffee but mediocre food (vegetarian hummus sandwich). If you're looking for coffee, go ahead, but for food there are better options nearby. Interior is pleasant though.

I love Viento y Agua and have been going for years. It’s my favorite coffee house in Long Beach because of their laid-back vibe and total lack of corporate coffee feel. Plus, their Killer Tomato bagel sandwich is one of my favorite foods anywhere and it was just as delicious as ever this morning. I also love that they have brewed yerba mate available (or they used to… I didn’t look for it on my visit today). However, I was disappointed to see that they have started serving food and drinks in disposable single-use containers (not just for to-go orders). I requested a real mug for my cafe cortado (which was delicious) and got one, but even then my sandwich came in a disposable tray rather than the ceramic plate with stainless cutlery they used to provide. This is a big step backward and a real disappointment given the global plastic pollution problem affecting every living thing on the planet. Part of the shop has also been converted to a retail space, which takes away some of the indoor seating. I can understand if they had to do that to stay open, but it’s still kind of a bummer since it can occasionally be hard to get a table. Has the shop changed owners?

Viento as It’s known in my circle is a coffeehouse community. I have been coming here for decades. People are friendly and the food and beverages are delicious. The Mexican mocha is one of the most unique things you can get here, and the Killer Tomato sandwich is so yummy, my then-toddler simply loved it (and it’s loaded with vegetables, so that was unusual). Now that he’s a teen it still holds status on the menu and for nostalgia. Adelita’s Revenge is the cutest tuendita in house, with Latin inspired goods and many local artists, and the piano there is a Sing for Hope community piano which can be played at any time (just ask the staff to turn off piped in music). They host a series of music events including an open mic and monthly music series geared toward all ages. Musicians and artists, reach out to them if you search for a unique space for your gallery art or music. Awesome community, proud that it’s the local hub of our corner of Long Beach!

Good vibes and friendly staff. Different options for eating include croissants, PB&J sandwiches and deli-style. The Mexican mocha was delicious! There is an extra charge for non-dairy milk alternatives

It had been a few years since my last visit but I had decided to swing through again after scheduling a coffee date on a Sunday morning. The streets were still relatively quiet and foot traffic was light - likely due to locals choosing to sleep in or heading off to Sunday services. And the shop looked relatively the same as I had remembered it from the last time I was there, which brought me some comfort as familiarity often does. However, it was impossible to miss the small boutique that had been added in the corner at some point over the last several years. It looked out the large front window onto the street, where the occasional passerby would stop and cup their hands over their faces to peer inside. The colorful displays of Chicano and LB bits and bobs hanging among the walls and cabinets added a splashes of vibrancy to the cooler-color palette of the interior. There was once a stage in the corner as well, where poetry readings and open mic nights had often filled my earlier years. But there was a large picnic table in its place instead. The additional seating space was welcome but it highlighted how things have changed since the pandemic altered the lifestyles of artists and performers. Soon after my arrival, my date entered and we ordered our drinks - for her, a simple pour over, black, no sugar, no cream. And for myself, an americano with the same staunch simplicity. There were breakfast options like oatmeal, hot sandwiches and other tasty treats available but we had both eaten beforehand. My drink was a little too watery for my taste - which, what do you expect for something that's espresso w/ additional hot water added? I made a mental note to order something with more body next time. The lounge area was already occupied so we found ourselves a table and spent nearly two hours talking. By then, more people had begun to arrive and a short line had formed. The staff had tied their hair back and gracefully moved between the machinery behind the counter. My date and I took a moment to watch as they doled out the orders with smiles and down-to-earth attitudes. We soon noticed that there were people standing around and talking about their plans for the week, so we finished our drinks and departed for the day. Overall the experience was enjoyable without the unnecessary bourgie attitude that has become all too common at cafes. Coffee cost as much as coffee should and the staff was charismatic and genuine. My usual coffee place went out of business some years back but I think that Viento y Agua will likely become my new regular place.

Had the most amazing pick-me-up here: dirty blended chai w/ banana. Weird? Yes. Delicious? Also yes.

I've been coming here for years! I always get their Mexican mocha, it's so flavorful and tasty. I love their decor and theme, and the atmosphere.

The coffee and the food is great but if you’re in a hurry, don’t come here. Barista seems to think it’s OK to sit and talk to someone instead of working while people are waiting.

Such a cool cafe!! Hubby & I went while on vacation & thought it was awesome. We had coffee and pastries & sat on the couch while checking everything out. It's very laid back, with a hippie vibe, decorated with a lot of Day of the Dead decor, sugar skulls & skeletons. The owner was singing as he brought an order to 1 of his regulars. It was cute. Will definitely go back if ever in Long Beach again!

a truly lovely neighborhood coffee shop with a very special place in my heart forever and always <33 have been getting the mexican mocha for years and it’s always delicious!! the staff are kind, and the atmosphere is fun and comforting. simply the best place!!!

It is rare for me to leave a review. The reason I am is because I love this place. The owner is so friendly and I'm all about supporting local businesses. However, lately there has been an issue with service. I can deal with 20 minutes to get an order but today was just under an hour. For real. And 2 weeks ago it was about the same wait. Both times were on a weekend so maybe that's the issue. I WILL continue to come back and see if this issue has been resolved. Thank you for your kindness

A little pricey but the drinks are delicious! Especially the traditional mocha or Mexican mocha - so good! The vibe is very cool and artistic. The owner is super friendly. I highly recommend.

I truly adore Viento Y Agua. The bagels are delicious. There are vegan pastry options. The coffee is good. It's my favorite local spot. My only qualm is that the wait time for the coffee and food can be pretty long. I would not suggest coming here if you're in a hurry anywhere...especially on the weekends. I'd also like if they were more generous with the cream cheese on the bagels. BUT in the end, Viento is a local gem and I will continue to support this wonderful business for all my study and hangout needs.

Large coffee and chocolate chip cookie- $6! spacious coffee shop with plenty of room to study. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye with art covered walls, and funky furniture.

The place I come to several times a week to get some work done. I love the atmosphere here. The baristas are really nice and I like that they have healthy options to eat as well as a good selection of organic teas. They have live music, I believe on Thursdays but I've also seen a performance on Sundays. So maybe the dates vary.

Great local spot with plenty of indoor space and some outdoor seating. There's a piano, an acoustic guitar and some books. It's quiet and the baristas always friendly. Food items tend to run out quick so get there early.

This place is the best! Such a vibrant space that is a staple in the community. Great coffee, great food, and awesome friendly staff. This is sooo worth driving out of your way to go and experience. Give yourself time when you do visit to sit back and absorb the vibe and chill out. You'll love it.
