PORTFOLIO COFFEEHOUSE

For nearly two decades,
host to legions of local coffee drinkers!
The true essence of the neighborhood watering hole.

Among the tree-lined neighborhoods of Midtown Long Beach, Portfolio Coffeehouse renders culture, friendship and caffeine fixes to java junkies amidst an eclectic collection of people, vintage furnishings, an outdoor patio, and fine art.

With two extensive rooms and a large sidewalk patio, this neighborhood coffeehouse features a lunch/brunch menu, pastries, assorted bottled specialty drinks, and all the caffeine you’d expect from your neighborhood coffeehouse.

The first coffeehouse in Long Beach to present poetry readings in 1990, Portfolio Coffeehouse earned the reputation of being on the cutting edge of artistic expression. Portfolio secures that reputation by serving as a venue for many emerging West Coast artists with ongoing fine art exhibitions, each running between six and eight weeks.

Musical artists deliver live entertainment on selected Friday and Saturday nights, and over the years Portfolio has been a location for many film and television shoots, and featured on live radio.

High speed internet access creates a place for patrons at a minimal fee to access the Internet from one of the house PC's or via our 802.11 wireless connection for your notebook.

With the Art Theater on the west end near the intersection of 4th and Cherry, and Portfolio at the east end, this block of 4th Street provides a pedestrian-friendly shopping and entertainment destination for downtown residents and visitors.

"More than a place to get a 'cup o' Jo,' relax with friends and take in local art, Portfolio Coffeehouse is a shining example of a small business leaving its footprint in the shaping of the city."
