    Me and my friend passed by this spot while we were looking for Pressed but decided to stop here instead. The cashier was so friendly, beyond friendly. I had a bunch of questions about the different kinds of matcha because I'm a newly matcha girlie and still learning the flavors. I told them I wanted something sweet, and they gave great recommendations and let me know the one I chose was really good quality. When I got it, it was a little strong for me, so we added more oat milk and a splash of vanilla, and that made it perfect. The aesthetic of the café was beautiful; minimalist, bougie, and it literally felt like a high end neighborhood café. The menu was teeny tiny, so it took us a minute to decide. My friend got an iced Spanish latte, and she said it was probably the best one she's ever had, this was also recommended by the cashier. We sat inside, drank our drinks, and did a little people watching out the window. Parking was a little sketch, but overall I definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

    Cute little coffee shop with bomb drinks and pastries just a short walk away from the beach! Chill vibes but gets packed; best to just order and take to go!

    Located in the heart of Long Beach so prepare to find street parking! It was such a nice atmosphere and quite small but the employees were nice! I ordered a matcha latte w oat milk while my bf ordered a Spanish latte w oat milk and both were very good! The matcha was sweet but not overpowering the flavor of the matcha itself, while the Spanish latte was perfect and their coffee in it tasted good and unique! Will definitely recommend and will come back !

    Such great coffees and matches! I have been buying their beans for few times now and I would make time to stop by to grab their beans when I'm out and they are happen to be on my way home. Since I work in DTLB, some mornings I would purposely take a different route so I would past by Stereoscope to get either their coffee or matcha. They have really high quality matcha and legit serve with either milk or tonic. You can also pick from I believe 4 kinds of ceremonial matchas that they offer. If you're sensitive to caffeine, I highly recommend good quality ceremonial matcha because you will not get the by-product affect unless from a concentrated powder or low quality (fake) matcha. I'm a matcha snob and also have sensitive stomach issue so I realize I can only do high grade matcha now so my options for good matchas are very limited and I'm so glad Stereoscope is one of them!

    Highly recommend this spot! My first time here and was nervous on what to order and expect. I'm usually a shaken espresso type of person, but wanted something different. My husband and I were taking a stroll on 2nd street and came across this busy coffee shop. It's so cute inside and so clean with a place to sit and wait or enjoy your coffee solo or with friends. I ordered us the Signature cream top latte less sweet and the Signature matcha latte less sweet & they were both amazing! The long lines go quick- so definitely worth the wait! I can't wait to try this again and order something different! Also, customer service was amazing!

    Everyone has been recommending me to try this place & I finally did , it's pretty small inside but I feel like that's what kinda makes this more of a personal experience , the gentleman taking our order was really kind & informative , I wanted to try something different I usually get a vanilla latte & he recommended the Spanish latte , it was tasty and cinnamonie ( if that's even a word lol ) , my sister got the Madagascar Latte , she enjoyed that also not to sweet . Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    This is a small little coffee shop in the Belmont Shore area. There's a bunch of places to eat, drink and hang out at in the area. This is one of the places worth visiting. I got the Spanish latte and it was pretty yummy. The coffee wasn't too strong or bitter. The employees were friendly and the shop was clean. Can't complain! Yeah I'll come back when in the area!

    Large Latte with madagascar vanilla & oat milk
    Kaitlyn A.

    We ordered the large decaf madagascar vanilla latte with oat milk and it was delicious. I prefer a stronger coffee flavor, so I added an extra shot of espresso and it was perfectly balance Prices are steep, but you can taste the quality of the espresso and the syrups don't taste artificial. I appreciate how the staff hand delivers your drinks and the nice clean interior.

    The service was good and the baristas were friendly but the coffee was NOT it. As someone who loves coffee, this was the most watered down and this wasn't just bitter, it was almost sour. For the price, I paid almost $8 for a small cup (only 1 size available) with no special instructions. I will say the view is nice because the shop is in between the rush of second and PCH but if you're in a rush and need your coffee asap, good luck finding parking Definitely overhyped and overpriced.

    Since visiting LB, I am forever standing in a line to see something or buy something. Luckily this line at Stereoscope went by pretty quickly. I love how pleasant and welcoming the young lady who was taking orders was. Each customer that came to the counter was greeted and she politely took their order with no rush and made sure it was correct. You don't see that in many coffee shops for the most part. I say that because many of them seem like they dont even want to take your order! I went for the iced Madagascar Vanilla Latte with almond milk and to have it there as well. The space is pretty small and there are only windows seat available. I am happy that when it came out, it came out in an aluminum cup! Perfect for sitting and enjoying. The latte was pretty good, although I wish I could taste the espresso more. It seemed a little more milky and water down than what I am use to. Definitely a coffee shop I would stop by again when I'm in the LB area visiting friends.

    Cute coffee shop tucked into downtown Long Beach It was very busy on a Saturday, but the line moved relatively quickly. There isn't much seating inside or outside, so plan ahead if you're hoping to sit and study. Parking can be tricky most nearby spots are metered, but there is free parking available on nearby residential streets if you don't mind a short walk. They offer a nice variety of specialty coffee drinks, both hot and iced. Overall, a solid spot I'd recommend, and I'd definitely return if I'm back in the area.

    Tried the Madagascar vanilla latte, the place is cute and small. The latte was good, not great. Couldn't really taste the vanilla flavor. It was on the sweeter side but I should have asked and asked for it less sweet to my liking. Won't make that mistake again.

    Strawberry Matcha
    Daisy B.

    I love their matcha. I recommend all, but the strawberry matcha with oat milk is my recent favorite! Homemade strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries-- awesome. The baristas are super helpful with recommendations. Even on a busy Saturday morning they have fast, quality service. Great little spot in Belmont Shore.

    Quick service. Friendly workers who can explain and recommend drinks. There is a little too much ice to drink ratio. Would come again.

The back room at this low key location has a show room with a car collection that belongs to the building owner and is available for viewing on weekends only. There is limited seating outside but most people tend to grab and go. They have 2 locations in Long Beach. I highly recommend black dog coffee roasters. Shout out to Francisco, Geraldo and the rest of the crew for doing such a great job.

    So I needed coffee after just landing and this placed looked good. I try to give coffee shops…read moremultiple chances before actually singing their praises however - the reviews hype this place up accordingly for the items they have. It is a smaller cafe and limited pastries, this should not deter you from trying there items. My fiancée grabbed a muffin and we ate it before I can get a nice photo. This was my first time trying this place and I got the holistic latte and my fiancée got the Spanish latte. I want to note - if you're someone who likes a stronger coffee please request an additional shot, as the drinks are more flavorful based on the type of latte you get. However if you're new like me and unsure, you can more than likely go in and get an extra shot and it would be no problem :) if you're a coffee person who loves supporting your local cafes, give them a shot you won't regret it. I do want to note a few things, have a chitchat with the staff very helpful and you're a learn about where they started from. The second, there is no public bathroom.

    Couldn't be happier to find this place!!! Let me start off by saying I was a barista for 7 years so…read moreI'm a bit of a snobby coffee connoisseur (If I didn't make it, I usually don't like it). I really haven't had a memorably good coffee since I stopped being a barista a few years ago. Anyways, I like to stop by Baked Vegan Sweets which is next door, and last weekend I noticed the sidewalk sign for Scary Good Coffee & I was drawn to try it. I was shocked when I found out it was all vegan! I've been vegan for 8+ years now & I have never seen a fully plant-based coffee shop. Also don't let the word 'vegan' steer you away because this shop makes the creamiest most delicious lattes. The barista was super friendly & helped me pick a drink. I ended up trying the spanish cold brew iced latte. All I can say is WOW it's made with condensed coconut milk and cinnamon, it's the perfect amount of sweetness. The flavors of the coffee itself are just incredible. I'm tempted to get my coffee black next time, but I don't think I'll be drinking anything but the Spanish latte for a while! I tried to come again on Friday but didn't realize they're only open Saturday and Sunday 10am-2pm. Still craving a coffee, I searched for the closed 5 star coffee shop and let me tell you it was majorly disappointing, so I was back at Scary Good Coffee the next day. I guess I'm back to being a coffee drinker and I can't imagine going anywhere else. This will be my regular weekend treat from now on! Cannot wait til they get popular enough to open 7 days a week. P.s. a loyalty program for frequent customers would be a great addition!

    This is my go to coffee shop in Long Beach. The Spanish latte is a must try! It's sweet, strong,…read moreand so good! I wish they would open during the week cuz I would stop by every day lol. I haven't tried other coffees but they all sound super good. I took my pup with me and he even got a treat! Love coming here and everyone should definitely try!
