Black Ring Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Long Beach

I recently stumbled upon an adorable little coffee shop, thanks to a quick search on Google. As someone who loves exploring new places, I was immediately drawn to its charm.

The pastry was good (sourced from Nonna Mercato) but the coffee was just ok. We had a hot whiskey vanilla latte and a iced burnt caramel collab, which were not that flavorful compared to Philz or 7leaves equivalents.

This lower rating is specifically for an unhelpful barista who gave attitude and didn’t clarify anything when asked basic questions about the items on the menu. Most problematic was his attitude when asked for napkins - no apology and an assumption they were needed because we spilled something (we didn’t). If a coffee shop isn’t prepared to serve napkins with food items, it should at least apologize.

I was floored at the barista’s response: “we don’t have anymore...
