Bogart's Coffee House — Restaurant in Seal Beach

Chose Bogart’s over another coffee shop further up the street because they offer a few Monin syrup flavors. Monin is superior in flavor and quality to Torani syrups. Quaint little coffee shop with a beautiful beach view. Love the aesthetic inside with all their artwork and decor. Decent amount of seating inside and they also have seating outside. With plenty of drink options available I’m sure they’ll have one that will suit your craving. Ordered two coffees and they didn’t disappoint. Flavors were good and the order was correct. They have pretty cool swag and nick-nacks for sale too. Had to knock a few stars off for service tho. The younger lady that was taking care of our order couldn’t be bothered. Walked up to the counter without so much as a “Hi” with her head stuck to her phone on Instagram. We stood there for a few minutes while we looked at the menu. We had questions and had to get her attention for the answers. Questions were answered very plainly and bluntly with her returning to her phone or her personal cup of coffee in between them. Hopefully she was just having a bad and this isn’t typical for Bogart’s because it truly seems like it would be a fantastic place...

Not enough seating during events. I went to Bogart's to listen to a performer that I was really excited about seeing but when I arrived there was no seating available. They have a huge couch which looks comfy but takes up way too much room and can only really seat two people comfortable, when I went two people had to sit on each others laps just to be able to squeeze in on the couch. They had fold-able chairs outside but the people taking up most of the seats outside were being so loud that there was no way to hear the performer inside. I'm not sure if they were there for Bogart's or if they were from the bar next door, since they did seem a little drunk. I stuck around for about 25 minutes waiting for a seat or to see if maybe the crowd outside would leave or quiet down but they sadly did not and it was too cold to stand outside barely being able to hear the performer over the rude crowd outside so we ended up leaving. My advise is to create more seating inside, the large couch takes up enough room for two more tables. I feel like they were going for a comfortable homey feel but instead it feels like its a bunch over sized furniture crammed into a really...

The honey lavender latte is very good, and generally I like coming here. But today was terrible service. After waiting 10 minutes for all the crepe making and snowcone making , the girl apologizes for the wait and takes my order. Then came the very long additional wait for all the coffee back orders due to the food preparation orders that had to be made . Why my review is so low is this: The girl continued to take orders and give people coffees , muffins, and any other quicker drink while I continued to sit there. When I told her that she should make the orders that came in ahead of the others, like mine, , she said, “Well, some of them are quicker.” What in the world does that mean? Perhaps I should wait all day until she feels that my order should be made. The people in back of me didn’t wait at all, despite the fact that I waited for a crepe to be made before she would take my order. The other thing that was disappointing is that they allow the homeless to take up tables and chairs and not order anything. It’s a small place, so all of this combined- unacceptable!!!! I will not be...
