First time trying Stereoscope in Long Beach, and I'd definitely come back!…read more I went with a group, so I was able to try a few different drinks, including their sweetened matcha, Madagascar Vanilla Latte, and Signature Cream Top Latte. The location itself is fairly small, and parking can be a little rough since it's in a popular area with limited metered parking. It's probably not somewhere I'd personally plan to sit and hang out for a while, but they do offer online pickup through DoorDash, and the service was quick (for reference, I went at around 8:45am on a Sunday). The employees were also friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What really stood out to me was the flavor! The drinks are rich, flavorful, and really well-balanced. It's not bitter, overly sweet, or too plain. Everything we tried tasted consistent and intentional. The prices are a little on the higher side, but based on the quality, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the matcha, or even to just try something new on the menu!

This review, however, is motivated out of my desire to offer major props to the young man - I think I overheard something like Sip? - working this morning. This guy was on his A game, multitasking and juggling multiple tasks with perceived ease and being pleasant and accommodating all at the same time. Great job! Your effort is noticed and appreciated. Thanks for that. Had it not been for this (and their delicious pastries), I'd give Cyclops a 3 - 4 stars because I have a real bone to pick with paying for a larger Americano and getting the same number of shots regardless. I don't like when businesses do that so that would have otherwise been a major ding for me.

Excellent cold brew! That's my jam…read more Great place to pop up your laptop and work! Plenty of seating and outlets. Staff were friendly and overall my experience was great. I got a croissant and they warmed it up for me. It was flaky and good, but wow was it buttery! My fingers were covered in grease and i got it all over my laptop. Oops. I wish they had a bigger selection of pastries. I got there at around 11 and their case was pretty bare. Usually my go-to stop in Long Beach for coffee because it's super convenient to get to, but parking can be tough!

WoW! WoW! WoW! I've…read moreseen this company around for a few years but never did I think to try them... until now. I'm so sad that all these years I have been missing out on the goodness. I was looking for something sweet and most local places were closed. I'm not a coffee drinker and I thought this place was like a Starbucks... mostly coffee. I saw Tierra Mia was open late so I decided to check it out. The service was good. There was a full crew of young ladies and they were all very welcoming and doing an outstanding job. This place is always busy but the employees work hard and efficient. The place is very old-school and gives the perfect Latin vibes. All the pastries are delish, My favorite was the churro muffin along with the Mexican hot chocolate. The Mexican hot chocolate tastes just like my mama made it. The place was packed inside and outside. The drive-thru was backed out to the street, I guess that tells you how good it is. I know they have tons of locations now so if you've been like me and have yet to try them... try them! Enjoy :) SYoY!

It literally was a tres leche cake but smaller. It does fall apart quite easily so be careful while eating it. I appreciate that you could warm up the pastry. The latte was delicious. I'm the type that doesn't like the taste of coffee itself and prefer my lattes to be sweet. This matched exactly that. Cannot wait to come back again.

The space is very clean with tables for people to work at. There was only one person there with their laptop around this time. I ended up getting the Bees in the Trap $9. It was good, refreshing, and not too sweet which is my preference. I also got their bacon breakfast burrito that was like $14. For the price, I expected a bigger burrito but it was small. It included bacon, egg, cheese, and brown beans and comes with a side of salsa. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, and I was still hungry after. It seems as though it's a premade burrito and they just heat it up. I would say skip the burrito just get the coffee. 8.2/10

This place is close to our house, so we decided to try it…read more The oat milk banana latté I ordered tasted artificial. The matcha is presweetened, and batch prepared in large squeeze bottles. The matcha latte was too sweet, and had a stronger than normal bitter aftertaste. The drinks were average. Service, though, was very good, both the young man at the register and the young lady who called out our order were friendly and professional. I would go further - to Da Vien or Trung Nguyen for the flavors we tried here. UPDATE: Thanks for the clarification, Reina. I did not say that artificial banana flavoring was used. Perhaps I'm not accustomed to tasting cheong, which I believe is a fermentation process of fruit. I didn't taste a a "strong" banana flavor. It was actually a subtle banana flavor. There was an aftertaste that I did not expect and not anything I've tasted in banana lattès from other shops. Maybe it's just my palate. Also, when we ordered we had wanted a vanilla matcha lattè. However, we were told that the matcha is pre-sweetened and that vanilla could not be added because it would make the drink too sweet, so I'm not certain how the sweetness can be adjusted if the batched matcha is already sweetened. Thank you again for the response and the best of luck with your business.
