Long Beach – Steadfast Cafe has officially opened its second location in Long Beach after two and a half successful years in Huntington Beach. The new cafe is strategically situated at the corner of Broadway and Linden Avenue, making it accessible for local coffee enthusiasts and passersby alike.
This new establishment continues the Rauches’ vision, who founded the cafe driven by their love for coffee and mornings spent together. The couple aims to create a community space where people can gather and enjoy not just coffee, but also meaningful interactions over a variety of brew options.
Steadfast Cafe offers an extensive drink menu that includes classic choices such as espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos, along with assorted teas, matcha, and smoothies. Prices are designed to cater to various budgets, ranging from $3.15 for a small drip coffee to $7.95 for a large smoothie. For those seeking something unique, the cafe offers specialty drinks such as a rosemary latte, butterfly lavender matcha, and rose cardamom latte.
In addition to beverages, Steadfast Cafe boasts an innovative food menu featuring creative sandwich options. Choices include a blueberry grilled cheese priced at $13.95, a ham, Swiss, and apple sandwich for $12.95, and a Cali bagel topped with cream cheese, avocado, and lemon pepper for $7.95. The most expensive item on the menu is a flight of toast, available for $39.95, comprising avocado toast, Mediterranean toast, sweet toast, and banana toast, while individual slices of toast average around $12.
The Rauches’ decision to expand to Long Beach stems from their appreciation of the area’s vibrant beachy atmosphere and favorable foot traffic. They envision that their new cafe will encourage community gatherings, differing from major caffeine chains by allowing for more spaced-out locations rather than clustering stores together.
Operating hours for Steadfast Cafe are designed to accommodate early-risers and those looking for post-work relaxation. The cafe is open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday to Sunday.
As they embark on this new chapter, the Rauches remain committed to fostering a sense of community within their cafe, envisioning a welcoming space that brings people together over a common love for coffee and engaging conversation. With a diverse menu and an inviting atmosphere, Steadfast Cafe aims to become a staple in Long Beach’s culinary landscape.
