I've been seeing this all over my Instagram so I had to go try it! The parking is a bit tight but it's okay! When you walk in, the first thing you see is Stickers and old school arcade games! I have never seen so much stickers ! I was a little overwhelmed with the menu but the barista was so nice giving me time to think about what I wanted. I got the iced gingerbread latte. It was sooo good. I'm such a sucker for gingerbread so I had to get it. It hit the spot.

Wow! This place is so cool. If you love, rock music, thrasher, music, old-school music, vibes. This is definitely a place you should visit. The vibes are super super cool getting misfits, Dia de los Muertos kind of vibe. They also have like a lot of treats here. We didn't try them. But they look very delicious. I love the ambience here and they even have like a location outside where you can sit. I was really really impressed of how the place looked. And they actually close pretty late. So if you are in Long Beach, this is a place you definitely have to visit.

I love this place so so much. I feel like this is going to become my go-to coffee shop. It has such a fun theme that makes me excited to visit and try a new drink. I think the staff is so friendly and kind that it makes me feel totally comfortable to ask for their recommendations. Every drink I've had as been so delicious and fun! I came here as part of my "30 before 30" challenge to go to 30 .. animal... theme tea shops before u turn 30. Now - I totally took my own liberties in deciding zombies counted as animals but hey its my fun challenge to do as i please with!!! Thank you Rad coffee!

This was a fun punky alt find on my drive up to LA. I was looking for something different but still solid on flavors, and Rad fit the bill. I ordered some fun coffee drink but then stripped it of most of the sugary add ons, but couldn't resist the b/w halloweeny whipped topping. Maybe black whipped cream wasn't the ideal choice before some big meetings, but I have no regrets. I think this place is big with the youngin's on insta, because two separate stylish teens in LA stopped and asked if my coffee was from Rad in LBC. So get your coffee here if you're trying to up your cool game.

I had a good experience here so I came back with my boyfriend!! We got the Horror-Chata and the Frankenstein. The Horror-Chata was iced blended, but it was really good! I saw it on the Halloween / Fall themed menu flyer, and I thought it sounded interesting. I think the difference between this and a regular horchata was that it was iced blended and had caramel and pumpkin flavoring in it. The Frankenstein surprised me, and it was good as well. I thought matcha and mint wouldn't be a good combination, but it was really good! You can taste more of the mint than matcha, but they combine well. The employees are always friendly and kind. They told us to ask them any question we may have. The cafe is always clean, and my boyfriend told me the bathroom is decorated pretty cool. One of the pinball machines weren't working which sucked, but I'm sure they'll get it fixed. I would come back here, and I'll definitely recommend it to others. They have tons of fun drinks I want to try, and it's a fun cafe to view.

Still one of the top 2 coffee shops for us in Long Beach. One reason is the ambiance and how down-to-earth the staff is, and the other is that it is still a great value for what you get. Huge lattes and cold brews for around $6. You would get 1/2 that size at trendy espresso spots, and here you can listen to The Misfits or psychobilly tunes while you wait in line. Rad is rad!

This coffee shop opened by my office a while ago and I wanted to give it a shot. Let's start with the vibe. It was an interesting 90s vibe with some punk rock music playing in the background. Surely not a place I would work from or take business meetings, but seems like an interesting place for a coffee date if you're into that type of vibe. See attached photos of the interior. Lots of interesting Knick knacks for sale as well as a pinball arcade. Would've loved to tried it out if I wasn't already late for work. Next, the coffee. They have a pretty extensive menu (which is also photographed) however, I am truly black coffee kind of guy. 16oz drip coffee is reasonably priced at $2.50. It wasn't my favorite cup of Joe but not the worst either. Seemed a little "watery" to me although that could've just been the batch. Drip coffee 3.5/5 And finally the service. Seems to be run by a family or at least a small business. Greeted with a smile and they move pretty quickly in there. I was probably the 7th or 8th person in and I was out in about 3 minutes. Overall, will probably go back and try the cold brew. Maybe give the drip another shot. I am intrigued as to how their pour over is too. Border line 3.5 but willing to round up simply because of the service.

Saw a lot of good reviews for this coffee place. I was craving for some coffee, so decided to stop by. This place has a lot of cool decorations. The servers was friendly, and she gave me some recommendations. There were lots of stickers and pins for sale on the counter. We ordered Frankenstein (matcha blended with chocolate chip) and salty chocolate (special of the month). Both drinks were very good! I love the matcha taste in Frankenstein, it was not too sweet, and perfect for me. The salty chocolate was a good choice too. Both drinks were very flavorful! Will come back again for sure.

Totally rad little coffee shop located just a bit off the beaten path in Long Beach. They have a ton of sugary drinks and a pretty chill vibe if you ask me. But if you're looking for a regular cup of Joe, they also fit the bill. Overall a nice spot, chill vibes and amazing packaging!
