"Right off the Promenade in downtown Long Beach, you'll find Recreational Coffee's slow pour-overs and booming punk, reggaeton, and hip hop. The coffee here is ethically sourced and comes in a wide variety of roasts, like the Ethiopian blend that tastes a little like lemongrass and pineapple. But their menu also has plenty of reimagined coffee classics. If you're into sweet stuff, there's a sea salt affogato with three vanilla scoops, rich espresso, and a chocolate sea salt topping that adds savory crunch. If you aren't looking for dessert, try the hoppy iced coffee flavored with Wai-Iti New Zealand hops that tastes like Happy Hour." - sylvio martins
