Coffee Parlor (COPA) Verified listing

The original brain child of Chef Josh Knight—the guy behind one of the city’s best pizzerias, the neighboring Pizza Parlor—Coffee Parlor, or COPA as it is called colloquially, is one of East Long Beach’s best coffee shops.

The coffeeshop-meets-mini bistro is precisely what is needed for the neighborhood, one that has yet to see the specialty coffee scene that has exploded in Downtown even approach its borders. With it, they are introducing specialty coffee that focuses on medium and light roasts along with some special tricks, including a stellar caffeine-on-caffeine concoction that combines a Mexican Coke with espresso.
