If you’re a Long Beach local, then you’ve probably heard of Mike Sheldrake and his iconic coffeehouse in Belmont Shore. It’s likely you’ve tasted this fine coffee at various local restaurants, event spaces, and the Long Beach airport!
Sheldrake Coffee Roasting has been serving the community since 1976, roasting on-site daily in their 1920’s vintage Probat coffee roaster by Mike and his son Michael. This shop holds 46 years of stories, traditions, and deliciously crafted goods – not to mention the sweetest aroma of fresh coffee permeating the cozy environment.
Previously called Polly’s Gourmet Coffee and rebranded in October 2020, Sheldrake’s has been a model for how a long standing business can evolve. They took the pandemic in stride, adapting to safely stay open and provide a morsel of normality to their customers. This change also brought focus onto their website, fulfilling more online sales than ever before for folks to still enjoy freshly roasted coffee at home anywhere in the nation. There’s no comfort quite like a great cup of your favorite coffee.
Mike’s passion for his work has always driven this business to offer something a little different than other coffee shops, shortening the time from bean to cup by roasting and packing in the same place. His attention to detail and traditional roasting process sets these coffees apart, you can really taste the difference.
