The Library - A Coffee House

I've been coming here since I was really little and ever since it's been my favorite - Their hot chocolate is of course a staple, and the kitty in the shop is the cutest thing ever!

Love the Mexican Mocha and their Lemon Cake ! The ambience is awesome and I can't wait to come back!

The coffee is just okay, the vibe is cool and nice for getting together with friends to sit and chat. Could use better baked goods . Changed owners years ago and it shows!

Nice, quiet coffee shop with great ambiance. Makes me want to camp out for a while with my laptop or a good book .

Nice employees, great food and drinks and a quiet , local atmosphere. Perfect place to come to hang out or to study. Check out the back corner for local events .

We love the owner here, Sophea. She's genuinely sweet, friendly , and hospitable . Their desserts are amazing, esp the fruit tarts !

Very cool place. I wish I could see better in there though-- it is way too dimly lit. Would have stayed longer to read and to also peruse all of the books on the walls that I could hardly see.

Late hours, great desserts , and friendly staff . Very Bohemian !

the paninis are really good.. and the coffee is ever better. this is a great place for a quiet conversation or studying.. plus they're open late !

So cute !! I love it here!! They even have almond milk !!

Great little place, low key , quiet and a lot of sweets

Ice cream ! Friendly staff , great atmosphere.

Pocan pie and Vanilla Goddess is the best

I swear, the coffee has a hint of chocolate flavor . Deelish!

They can make you an ice coffee float!!!

Open Mic nights are back!!!! Starting this Wednesday, Feb 19th, 2014 at 6:30pm :) ....see you there!!

The grilled cheese sandwiches are great!

Try the fruit tart ... Finger licking good

The chairs are cozy , the cat is my hero! I want that cat's life!

Love the decor and the chocolate muffins yum

Order the large hot chocolate with extra whipped cream . SO good! Get a cookie or pound cake to go with it too.

One of the best places to get just a really damn good drip coffee in Long Beach.

Tell the owner how young she looks! She'll love you for it.

The kitty is the best kitty of all.

Pumpkin cake !

Awesome cheese cake !

Pet the kitty :-). He's extremely friendly !

Look for the Long Beach Post print edition here! Read more

I would totally love this place if i wasnt allergic to cats.

Everytime I come here I tell myself NOT to get a piece of cake , but I can never resist. :)

This place closes at midnight. Awesome.

Stay Away from this place, BED BUG INFESTATION, I am not joking, DO NOT GO!

Great place to study on Sunday nights.

Get the caramel macchiato . Delicious :)
