Hot Java

Ryan Of San Tan Valley

This is a great local shop, just a hop and a skip in distance, and as a soon to be future residence ;) , I can objectively say this place provides a great service to the community and a quality product. The employees seem to genuinely engage with the patrons and take pride in their function. I felt welcomed with friendly smiles.... I'm looking forward to many more visits and trying the huge variety of specialty items. If you are a fan of extra strength lattes that'll get your day moving, this is definitely the spot! Thank you Hot Java!

I usually come here to work 👨‍💻 They have several great spots with power outlets, including a bar table with high chairs, a large table for six where you can meet with co-workers, and small tables for two if you prefer a quieter space. It’s a pretty nice place to grab a coffee and get things done. Plus, it opens early in the morning, which makes it perfect for early morning calls when working from home isn’t an option. The hot brew black coffee is excellent! They offer light, medium, and dark roasts—I prefer the medium. The baristas are always super friendly and welcoming. The Wi-Fi is free, but there are some restrictions (I couldn’t connect to AWS services or certain banking websites). Overall - love this place 😍

The very best vegan banana walnut bread in Long Beach Also the most espresso favorable iced latte. Always a great hide away from the heat and work day stress. Come for the drinks but definitely try the home made treats. Plenty of good food and drinks. And outdoor seating with social distancing. They open early but are now closing at 6 PM. Dom, the manager is great and has a very friendly staff. Service is very good 👍

I think this is my new favorite coffee hangout! There was a bit of a line, but it was clear why after a little bit. The place supports the LGBTQ* community, which is always important to me. And their skinny mocha Java Blast definitely didn't TASTE skinny at all! Friendly staff, cool vibe... will definitely be coming back with friends!

UPDATED 2022: Big turn around at this location. Everything is cleaner and the staff now is excellent (beyond excellent). Went from zero to hero. Love this place now, love the staff there. Bravo. thanks for the attention. I have updated my rating to a well deserved 5-stars. Old Review (no longer relevant): I generally like a couple of their drinks but it's a mounting set of observations that make this place earn a lower rating today. 1. At least the last 4x i have been there i haven't ordered any pastry because there is always flies or nats crawling and landing all over the food. Pastries with bugs all over doesn't do for me. 2. The outdoor seating is not cleaned very well and the areas where the seating is definitely isn't cleaned very well. Also the seating they have is a little janky, like the table shaking all the time. Basically just very cheap furniture. 3. They have the most archaic credit card system. Literally every time you need to put your credit card in the employee has to sit and hold it so it doesn't move around. Not very sanitary when we're all trying to not touch the same things during Covid. 4. Customer service should be re-evaluated. I literally walked in two minutes before they closed, while customers were still getting drinks, and I was told "sorry we're closed" as I pointed out the time and showed the time to the female barista, she said, "oh, we just shut everything down". The comedy of the whole situation was then she proceeded to give the other customers there two drinks. Just pure laziness from the employee. It's unfortunate, I live in the area I had started to go to this place more and more. There are other options but I'll keep trying them and give updates but some things could be reviewed and perhaps even made better. I'm rooting for you Hot Java. This picture is of me leaving at 5:59 p.m. a minute before they close and two customers who just got their drinks walking out. Management and ownership should review. Pure silliness.

Great coffee!! The staff does an exceptional job. The coffee is perfect and the service is great. The atmosphere can be a bit chaotic, but the location is great.

A welcoming, friendly atmosphere at Hot Java. Friendly staff, excellent coffee. We had breakfast burrito and muffin, both delicious. This is how I like a coffee shop to feel. Highly recommended!

Excellent baristas and groovy vibe. The vanilla latte was the right amount of bitter for my preference.

I really like the vibe here. Very casual atmosphere and friendly staff. I only drink tea so can't comment on the quality of the coffee, but the tea was good.

I'm here often with my brother and everyone is always kind and the coffee is so good! Definitely a good spot to check out!

Excellent coffee….my first time visiting here with a friend. Unfortunately they were out of lots of things on their menu. I really think that’s a positive thing too…very friendly atmosphere and staff is so sweet and welcoming…definitely will not be the last time I come here after my morning stroll…our coffees were great and the bagel was yummy. Inside is open they have tables outside too..following the COVID regulations and social distancing so if you’re in this side of Long Beach come try them out…

The latte was average and the price was also about average. Good milk alternatives but no gluten free option. The outside seating seems to be tables and chairs put on the sidewalk and not separated out. Parking can be difficult. The drink was made quickly but might have been due to not a lot of people being there

Local coffee hangout... Ask for bagels early. We had lox n cream cheese over English muffin instead. They did the whole plate, tasty capers and bits of lemon too. Lattes were very flavorful, a full roast no burnt taste. Milk was not scalded so the beverage was creamy almost a nutty light caramel flavor. Cool winged backed chairs to recline in. Others had sofas. Or tables for those grinding away on laptops. Nice mellow jazz playing. Local art pieces on the walls. One all gender restroom with easy access key on the left corner of main service counter. Place is on a street corner but with the wide sidewalk, light street traffic outside seating was inviting and looked comfy. Kitty corner to a nice looking park.

Lovely neighborhood cafe with good selection of drinks. Their location and working hours are ideal apart from a nice setup inside.

Could not got on their WiFi - tried all three of their networks over and over again, had to leave. Do not go if you need WiFi, OR get on their network before you order anything. I have to go somewhere else now.

Update: baristas aren't that friendly (been here on multiple occasions) so its ok. (I dont know if theyre going for the sullen barista vibe) If you want coffee they do a solid job but that's about it, nothing crazy worth writing home about with average drip coffee. Which is insane given the level of local roasters in long beach. The pastries are really good though! The i do like the interior decor. this is a really great place to study, but that's about it.

Sharing a picture of the ham and swiss croissant that I just got. Very odd looking croissant, nothing like the beautiful ones in the display case. Disappointed.

Atmosphere is really comfortable, but pastries are lacking. They serve coffee in real mugs, but you have to ask for it. Even if you say it's for here, they'll automatically serve it in "compostable" plastic cups. Most of the people get their coffee to-go, and then drink from single-use cups in the dining room. It feels awful.

Watch out for people coming in and crowding around certain customers. They will usually enter wearing a bright colored shirt, colored hair, or wearing something that stands out in the room. They will come sit next to you. Other people will show up after and start crowding around you. The staff is aware of what is going and actively participating in it.
