Memento Coffee Works®

Minimalist interior design. Minimalist sweetness in the drinks (which I love). Friendly staff. I don’t usually like ube that much, but the ube flavor in their specialty latte is subtle so I liked it a lot. The pastries are from Nonna Mercato so I got an almond croissant which I know is excellent (but very large and very heavy). Parking was great for me before 10:00 am on a Sunday, but there is no parking lot so you might have to park across the street if it gets busy. Love the name.

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?!

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.

Quaint coffee shop on a business strip. LOve the minimalistic design with music lightly playing in the background . There is limited seating and parking. Perfect for those who love their order to go. The staff was nice and fast with their service. I ordered the Hot Latte with in house made vanilla syrup which was rich, creamy and smooth.

I felt compelled to check this place out. The outside is so inviting. When I walked in, everyone greeted me. And then I got the most delicious chai. And I don’t drink coffee so I was worried, but it turned out. They have plenty of tea and they use one of the best brands. I was able to even meet the owners and they are a sweet couple and they seem very happy to have this new business. Let’s support Long Beach entrepreneurs. This place is a winner. Nonna Mercado pastries on the East side of Spring. Yay!

Service was great and quick, you can tell the staff takes pride in their craft. Would recommend for anyone in the area. The UBE latte is next level. We had the guava mascarpone, Dirty Chai and UBE latte.

I tried the Ube Latte at Memento and absolutely loved it! The flavor was smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The place itself has a really cozy and stylish atmosphere—perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The staff were also super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll come back to
