​If you’re looking for a top-tier coffee shop in Long Beach with a unique twist, Memento Coffee Works is an absolute must-visit. ​The Drinks & Thai Influence: The Thai Tea and Thai-inspired specialty coffee drinks here are next-level. You get that rich, creamy, and spiced profile perfectly balanced with high-quality espresso—flavorful without being overly sweet. They also serve iced Thai tea with lemon, which is ridiculously refreshing. ​The Craft: You can tell they care deeply about coffee quality. They showcase high-end beans like Proud Mary Coffee Roasters and even have cool aroma pumps at the counter so you can smell the different roast profiles before you order. ​Vibe: Clean, modern, minimalist aesthetics with great attention to detail. ​Verdict: 10/10. Will definitely be adding this to my regular Long Beach coffee rotation!

This neighborhood coffee shop was a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and provided helpful explanations of the menu. There was ample seating available. The cold brew was delicious, and there were numerous coffee options to choose from. The chai tea was also quite good for those preferring non-coffee drinks.

Ube latte made with Strauss milk and Ube Halaya from a jar?! Count us in! Their Memento latte and ube latte were both tasty without being too sweet. That is the highest compliment in the Asian community - not too sweet is 100! Loved the simplicity of their decor too. Maximized seating in a pretty small space. The staff are so so so nice too and you can tell they all get along well in a very professional way. Great spot!

The service was super friendly and fantastic, the atmosphere was soothing…But first - Coffee. I ordered a flat white both days and loved both. Pastries were 4* i tried their H&C croissant, passion fruit kouign-Amann, guava pastry and morning bun.

The purple drink was doubtlessly the bait, with vibrant distinctive color. Having my premiere visit, I almost passed the location as the sign in front wasn’t that visible if you’re not paying close attention. Entering the venue got me hooked right away. The color palette, the sleek and clean interior, the various seating arrangements; all were just blended flawlessly giving that serene vibe. I could only go for the drink despite they did offer pastries as sadly only the blueberry muffins left by midday. No question, I certainly went for their Ube Latte. It’s nothing like the common one you met elsewhere with ube syrup or extract only, as they even featured the spread lined on the cup. It used ube condensed milk for the sweetener, but worry not of it being overly sweet as they portioned each ingredient pretty balanced. It’s creamy and quite thick with ube cream on top. I wished the cream has more flavor in it, but it was overall a bold velvety cup, particularly for ube fan out there. I personally would have this more for a treat than everyday cup of joe, but as I love their vibe, would make a come back! Perhaps trying out the Memento Latte next?!
