My wife and I did a simple iced latte and cappuccino both with whole milk. The coffee was great with no sour taste to them. My wife also wanted the croissant, so we ordered one. It was good, but nothing too special. It does get really busy here and for a good reason. It's in a great location in the Lido Marina Village. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. I did get confused with the restrooms but there was one across the street (public restroom). Just to note, I don't think there was a policy for dogs since many people with dogs were coming in and out that were for sure not service animals. I didn't mind since I love dogs, but can be an issue for those with sensitivities. The baristas were all very nice, no issue with customer service. I was basically the only asian dude there the whole time, but there was no issue. Everyone was nice :)

It wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciated. I also love that they offer gelato, açaí bowls, tea, and smoothies--such a great variety. Emma mentioned they carry ceremonial-grade matcha and said it's a must try, so needless to say, I'll definitely be back for that. Shoutout to Emma for being so kind and for turning me into a repeat customer.

Let's start by stating, this is one of those spots you go to when the vibes are already high,…read moreyou're enjoying the beach and walk in wearing your bathing suit, a little cover up, and definitely covered in sand and probably a little sunburnt! It's located at the Newport/Balboa pier by the surfer statue, the interior is tight but manageable as the drinks come out pretty quickly. There's plenty of tables set outside to be shared amongst the other small food spots around. I visited on a Saturday morning after taking a walk up and down the pier with my pup. The line was a few folks out the door but I was at the counter ordering within a few minutes. The menu is straight and to the point, prices are what you'd expect from any coffee shop in the OC (I would think the baseline is $6-$8 per drink) They also offer smoothies and açaí bowls as well. I see that they had an açaí smoothie on the menu and was intrigued! Once I received my smoothie, I could tell just by visuals it was a premade frozen açaí blend of some sort that was re-blended. It tasted pretty close to the single serve frozen açaí pouches you can buy at Costco. And speaking of, the consistency was exactly like your Costco berry smoothie (and dare I say.. even the taste? lol) except of course the Costco smoothie is only $3. It wasn't great. It wasn't bad. It wasn't cheap ($8) but, it was a cold drink on a hot day that was artificially sweet and went down easy. And also, served by the nicest staff!! Next time I'll try their matcha (which is what I was going to order but then I had to get spontaneous lol)

I don't love that in order to access the building you need to pay to park at the lot across the street. Not super thrilled with the clientele, including the person who asked immediately after ordering "how long was it going to take" right as the barista was about to hand them their coffee but that's not Stereoscope's fault!

Back with an update because I finally got my hands on the breakfast burrito…read more My cousin and I still make the drive from South OC for what is easily our favorite matcha in OC but this visit was all about the burrito. They were sold out the last time we came, so my expectations were honestly pretty high. I fear the hype is justified. It was a little oily but the flavor was insane. The protein to tortilla ratio was perfect every bite felt balanced and the sauce absolutely carried it over the finish line. If you've had the breakfast burrito from Sobuneh in LA, this is probably the closest thing I've found in OC. Ambiance is so cute and minimal. Service is great. Also parking is so easy. They validate in the structure across the street and there are designated Stereoscope spots tucked away in the back of the lot to the right. Stereoscope REALLY did their big one.

Even with that being true, we got our order fairly quickly and the person that took our order was kind and it was smooth. I had the orange top coffee (I believe it's new) and it was great, super fresh and it was perfect for the already hot morning. My husband had the strawberry matcha and he really enjoyed it as well.

There was also a table for online orders that had a lot of orders on it. They were very busy. My drink was ok. It wasn't really strawberry forward nor espresso forward. They were present but they were very subtle. I felt like it was milk more than anything else. I really liked the burrito and did not miss the meat at all. I liked the shape of the burrito. I also liked that it was flatter than a normal burrito, because it made it easier to eat. It does come with a red and green sauce. Both are good. The red sauce kind of reminded me of Taco Bell hot sauce.

They have a real nice set up inside with a decent amount of seating both inside and out.

The cold brew was well balanced and smooth. And that cold foam was the perfect amount of vanilla. There was only one barista but they were very kind.

Another day, another coffee shop…read more Heard great things about MoonGoat so was excited to try today. Saw valet parking and got nervous but the guy just told me where to park. Super easy. When you enter, the location is huge! Tons of tables and seating. Nice! People are working, hanging out, and enjoying their food and drinks. I ordered a churro latte half sweet and a deluxe avocado toast. The latte was delicious. Sweetness level was just right for me. I don't like super sweet drinks. The avocado toast was also great. There was so much flavor from the egg and bacon and seasonings. It was a little hard to eat out of the to go container, but I made it work. It could easily be shared depending how hungry you are. I love that I didn't feel rushed here. It seems they expect people to come and hang out for awhile. Can't wait to return! I'm eyeing the biscuit and a matcha next time.

Inside is a café inspired by natural accents with an industrial flair giving a rustic character with modern style. The vibe inside is chill with plenty of seating for groups or singles. They also have an outdoor area with covered seating surrounded by plants. The menu delivers just as much appeal as the setting. They have an expansive list of coffee, tea, and lattes with several modifiers to choose from. To accompany your drink the menu provides options of sandwiches, bagels, and a variety of pastries. I had the smoked salmon bagel, featuring delicate slices of salmon layered over cream cheese spread, topped with capers and fresh chives. This is my go to for coffee houses that offer it. The bagel exceeded my expectations and I believe the chive's subtle flavor complemented the smoked salmon really well. For drinks we tried the chai and hot chocolate. The iced chai latte was smooth and not too sweet with a dusting of cinnamon on top, but I would rate it average in taste. The hot chocolate was deliciously velvety and detailed beautifully. I would rate it a five out of five! The difference at this coffee shop is that you can choose from a range of seating arrangements and have an opportunity to support the business by picking up clothing, a bag of coffee or other merchandise. The con for this coffee shop is that the beverages are somewhat undersized relative to the price point. In addition, the customer service experience fell short. We were greeted upon entering, but it was unclear where customers should retrieve their order or whether orders numbers were called out. With that said, those looking for a quiet morning coffee or a cozy place to catch up with friends, this spot can accommodate.

I could not find any other smoother and tasty coffee than Kean. Nothing in this area compares. It's a gem here. My husband and I usually get their vanilla latte. It just runs smooth; not acidic. Flavors are on point! Service is usually great. Sometimes it can be a bit since lines can get ridiculous here. But worth it! Casual atmosphere!
