Rose Park Roasters

Rose Park Roasters is a Long Beach roaster specializing in light-roast single origins, on a walkable corner of E Ocean Blvd. You order at the counter and get your drink in a real cup and saucer. The patio's where most people sit. Inside, the music's on the louder side, so it suits solo visits and pairs.

The maple lavender latte with orange zest is the signature. Single origins rotate between Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda, and there's single-origin cold brew all year. The cortado and mocha are good, and there's a mint agave matcha. The pastries are made in-house: goat cheese or lemon blueberry scones and a gluten-free chocolate olive oil cake.
