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!

The decor is cozy and chic, and I like that they kept it spacious instead of cramming a ton of tables and chairs in. I especially loved the little table lamps! Our server was very nice and helpful when we had questions. Caesar salad: I LOVED this. Perfect balance of flavors with perfect crunch. Word of warning is that it is anchovy heavy (including anchovy filets on top), so if you like to pretend the anchovy aspect of Caesar salads doesn't exist, this might not be for you! Roasted chicken: Loved the crunch on this too, and the salad and polenta were nice additions. I think the polenta was my favorite part of this dish lol. Kale pistou pizza (asked for no onions): My least favorite dish. We didn't realize it was vegan but as someone who generally likes vegan food, it just lacked flavor and felt very dry overall. The sourdough crust was good, at least. Peach mess dessert: Omg, the star of the show! Such an amazing dessert top to bottom, I loved the mix of textures and flavors. I could eat this every day! I probably would've given this 4 stars due to the pizza being that bland, but the dessert really elevated this whole meal. Can't wait to see all their different menus throughout the seasons! I hope they add a happy hour soon and I hope to see the return of their patio at some point!

The menu features more breakfast items; however, I miss their Turkey and Brie sandwich that they used to offer here. Nevertheless, their BLT is as good as a BLT can be. With a BLT, to make it outstanding, you have to have outstanding ingredients, and they absolutely achieve that with their house made, butter-toasted country bread, heirloom tomato, butter lettuce, house-made thyme mayo, and a generous helping of bacon. The space is also very roomy and, now that they have table service, it offers a great breakfast experience. I do want to come back for their french omelette cooked over butter. Sounds like they also have pizza for dinner. Cost of lattes cost over $8, but their syrups are made in house. My wife liked her midsommar latte, which had espresso, milk, caramel syrup, and a foam topped with bee pollen. Pastries run from $5 to $8 and I prefer their savory offerings; however, their house-made breads are noteworthy here. Don't hesitate to pick up a sandwich or loaf here.

I've never had this style of cake before so maybe I didn't know what to expect but it was quite dry. I think if I had ordered a tea to go with it I would have enjoyed it more, as the warm liquid would have balanced out the dryness of the cake, so perhaps that was my mistake. The coffee menu has a good variety of latte options. The matcha menu is more limited, and they also offer a small variety of hot tea. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and the staff member brought my order to my table, which was a nice touch for an order-at-the-counter cafe.

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

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.
