About Steel Cup Café

For the past seven years, Steel Cup Café has proudly served the Long Beach community as a locally owned scratch kitchen and coffee house. Every recipe, every cup of coffee, and every decision we make is guided by a simple philosophy: create exceptional food and drinks while providing a welcoming place where everyone feels at home.

Nestled in the heart of Long Beach's Artcraft Manor neighborhood, Steel Cup Café has become a favorite gathering place for neighbors, students, families, and friends. Whether you're stopping in for your morning coffee, meeting over breakfast, grabbing lunch with coworkers, or enjoying dinner with family and friends, we strive to make every visit memorable through genuine hospitality and thoughtfully prepared food.

Our menu is built around fresh, made-from-scratch ingredients and carefully crafted recipes. From hearty breakfast favorites and artisan sandwiches to fresh salads, house-made sauces, specialty coffee drinks, and locally baked pastries, we believe that simple food made with exceptional ingredients speaks for itself. We proudly serve organic, Fair Trade, and Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee, paired with a full selection of handcrafted espresso beverages, teas, and seasonal drinks.

We're also excited to now offer Dinner Thursday through Saturday from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Our evening menu features juicy Certified Angus Beef smash burgers, crispy breaded chicken strips, and delicious crinkle-cut fries, creating another opportunity for friends, families, and neighbors to gather around great food long after breakfast and lunch have ended.

Community has always been at the heart of everything we do. We believe a neighborhood café should be more than just a place to eat—it should be a place to connect. Whether you're catching up with friends, studying, working remotely, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, our goal is to provide an atmosphere that feels warm, welcoming, and unmistakably local. Beyond serving great food and coffee, we're proud to celebrate the vibrant creative spirit of Long Beach through our partnership with Bel Canto Books and our annual Artist Showcase, featuring the work of talented local artists throughout the year.

Sustainability is equally important to us. We proudly partner with local businesses and regional suppliers whenever possible, support small producers, operate with energy-conscious practices, and have eliminated single-use plastics in favor of compostable, plant-based alternatives. We believe caring for our community also means caring for the environment we all share.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your daily routine and your special moments over the past seven years. Your support has helped Steel Cup Café become Your Favorite Hidden Gem, and we look forward to serving Long Beach for many years to come.
