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. read more

Stereoscope Coffee - Large Latte with madagascar vanilla & oat milk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Long Beach, California

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I found myself fiending for a matcha while exploring downtown Long Beach, so I was pleasantly surprised to pass by Stereoscope. The barista was so friendly as I took a minute to think over the different ceremonial grade matcha options they offered. With help from the barista, whom I also struck up a cute little convo with, I decided on the Ujigawa matcha latte with no added sweetener. The matcha itself was very refreshing and vibrant. I don't think the picture I included does the color justice. If you don't like a bolder, earthy/umami matcha flavor, I would not recommend this specific tea especially not unsweetened. This latte was all I ordered so I have nothing to compare it to, but I liked it. I also had brought my laptop along to do some work, but was baffled by the only available outlets being on the ceiling. It's my fault for bringing along a laptop with low battery.. but still. I thought the outlet placement was so odd. This coffee shop is also pretty small. However, all the available indoor seats face outside which I thought was nice for balancing work/studying/reading with people watching. read more

Delicious coffee at STEREOSCOPE! Stopped in here after dinner on a Saturday night and parking was a hit tough but we made it happen. We both had the Spanish latte which was pretty sweet and rich. They make the syrups in house and seem to take coffee and matcha options pretty seriously- ceremonial matcha options and pour over coffee. Unfortunately it's pretty small and seating is limited, and we didn't see a restroom. We took the drinks to go this time. The cashier and barista had good customer service and communication skills thank you!! read more

Nice airy coffee shop on 2nd Street. They feature a bright friendly crew serving up hot Joe and pastries to go (or enjoy your order inside or out - I just wanted to rhyme that part outside the parentheses). The location works really well if you're using your shoe leather express (I'll tell you where I got the phrase in a moment) because parking can be tough in this area. But I'm told you can usually find spots on Argonne. I'm usually on foot on bike so that's what I know. Either way, this is a good spot for that morning shot. So my first supervisor in the Air Force; if any of us needed to go to the other side of the base and we asked for a ride, he'd tell us to take the "shoe leather express". read more

Ordered the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (sweetened). It was so good that we came back again. The first time we went in the morning and there was a line out the door but the second time we went in the afternoon and no line! Drinks are consistent and the place is very well designed. Staff were extremely kind. read more

What We Ordered: -Madagascar Vanilla Latte $7.50 -Spanish Latte $7.25 My wife wanted to go shopping at Belmont Shores, so we stopped here for a much-needed morning pick-me-up. I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, which the staff recommended as a popular choice. They even mentioned they make their own artisanal vanilla syrup in-house - what's not to love? It was a solid latte. My wife ordered the hot Spanish Latte, also recommended by the barista, and she really liked it. I tried it too and enjoyed it as well. We're glad we finally made it to a Stereoscope location and look forward to trying others in LA. read more

Small Specialty Coffee Shop on 2nd St in Long Beach. Busy area. The Street parking is mostly all metered. The Coffee Shop has a European feel. They have an interesting coffee menu with items such as the Espresso Tonic. They also have Specialty teas, Matcha. And more. I tried the Ganache Mocha. It is a 70% dark Chocolate Mocha. It was really good. The Baristas are friendly and the service was really good. Prices are reasonable. I recommend trying Stereoscope Coffee. read more

It was really cool to see this place offer different types of ceremonial grade matcha with a description on their menu for each. I got the sweetened matcha which was good... but if you truly like the matcha flavor i would not recommend this one. I like a bit of sweetener in my matcha and was worried I'd dislike the unsweetened ceremonial grade which is why i opted for the pre-sweetened. But it was way too sweet for me and the matcha flavor was overpowered. Someone ordered a ceremonial and it looked SO much better -- handwhisked right in front of us, a dark green color. Def getting that when i'm back in long beach! I had a bit of trouble finding this place -- walked past it twice before actually spotting it because the sign is kind of small. The place itself isn't as small as some of the other reviews say, there is seating but on a busy day i'm sure it fills up (for reference i came ~9 am on a monday :) read more

Stereoscope has a location in Costa Mesa that has been on my list for a while now. I was walking 2nd street and saw this location and had to stop in. I ordered an ice latte without ice so I can drink it the next day. The coffee is nice and robust and I would recommend it. I also ordered the most expensive matcha in the menu, around $12. I would pass on this as it wasn't anything unique or special and too light. Better options abound at less cost. Great service, the barista was very friendly. Street and public parking. Casual. Indoor seating. Small merch area. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

We waited in line for 10 minutes on a Sunday morning for the Koka uji matcha latte, strawberry hokatsu matcha, and the Spanish latte. The matcha was light in color and taste which was surprising because it was like $13. The cafe itself was minimalistic, decorated nicely for the holiday season, and has bar seating along large windows with lots of natural light. You can observe baristas brewing coffee and tea and whisking matcha on a marble counter. Among the crowded cafe, you'll be able to hear lively jazz overhead. Not the best place for studying, it's more of a grab-and-go system. read more

Stopped by Stereoscope for a pick-me-up before work and was able to get in and out quickly on a Saturday morning near opening time. I chose the Yorokobi matcha latte today with vanilla syrup to try as my first drink to try here. It was a great vibrant green color, perfectly mildly sweetened (until the ice melts). Light astringency but not too bitter, would order again! However, with the price points- I may stick to my making my matcha lattes at home for now. The worker graciously brought my drink to out me as well. Would come back to try their wide selection of coffees. read more

On a cozy rainy day in Long Beach, I found this beautiful and inviting café and it instantly felt like the perfect spot to slow down. The space is clean, calm, and thoughtfully designed, making it a great place to relax or bring a book or laptop. They offer a great variety of coffee, teas, and matcha options. As someone who loves matcha but prefers it not too sweet, this place really delivered. Damien was incredibly kind and helpful and recommended the popular matcha hokatsu series with very little honey. The first sip was smooth, silky, and perfectly balanced. Exactly how matcha should be. There is comfortable seating, a great vibe, and genuinely warm customer service. Highly recommend stopping by if you are looking for a quality drink and a cozy café experience. read more

Still one of the best coffee spots in LA. The cold brew leans fruity but stays smooth, which makes it easy to drink. I tried a pour over this time and depending on the beans, it leaned either more bitter or more acidic. That diversity is what makes their coffee stand out, since the flavors and notes are clear and distinct.

Great little coffee shop! I had been to the Newport location before, but this location was much more of a vibe! It was a bit busy but the service here was fantastic, just super friendly and kind. I got one of their matcha lattes and it was very creamy and delicious. Their drinks are definitely on the pricier end - my total came out to $10.50, but their drinks are high quality. Another round of praise for the service here - once my drink was ready, the baristas brought it out to me. Even though they were busy, they made sure to treat every customer so kindly and provide the best possible experience. read more

Stereoscope Coffee has been one of those coffee shops I avoided due to the hype. But as a first time customer I was simply impressed. The girl behind the counter had extensive knowledge on the coffee and matcha flavor profiles down. She ended up recommending the Yoroko67 matcha to have in my matcha latte. The flavor of the Yoroko67 had this savory and umami taste that when gently sweetened was the perfect pick me up. The chocolate croissant had a semi sweet chocolate with many buttery layers of flakey pastry. Stereoscope in Long Beach is located on the corner of 2nd street (a popular food street in LB) with limited parking. The shop has ample seating for a small cafe but more of a grab and go sort of area. Drinks: 8.6/10 Food: 8.2/10 Location: 7.3/10 read more

The cashier was very friendly and welcoming. There were a few dogs inside (friendly one too) so you could tell it was a nice and welcoming environment. Lychee Peachy Sweetened black tea was SO good!!! It is about $6 with tax and really surprised me with the flavor. It is on the sweeter side (which I like). I tried it iced because the cashier recommended that and it was a great recommendation!! I would come back for it, it was unique and true to its flavors. It is a smaller shop so seating is limited (and they are stools with no back rest so it's not very comfy) but thankfully we were able to get seats. read more

Amazing place for someone that is trying to expand their taste to matcha! Most cafes only offer a singular matcha strain and just label as "matcha" on the menu, but at Stereoscope they give you various options to choose from. They have 4 different kinds with the menu explaining their flavor profiles. I got the Yorokobi which is more on the earthier side and I added a honey and vanilla pump to it. The taste was delightful! I'd will definitely be coming back to try their other strains. They also have tea options with the same concept as well as some coffe drinks that are popular as well. All the works are so friendly and welcoming. Plenty of natural light hitting the cafe and seats to lounge in while you wait. This place with for sure see me more! read more

Came here to try the Matcha - it is SO good. Cute little spot on 2nd street - the only con is that the shop gets really crowded. We went to get matcha and they have 5 different types of matcha. Their house matcha is a pre-made sweetened one. I asked the barista for recommendations and she talked to me through all the different Matcha options. there are four different ceremonial types of Matcha, each one is a different price based on their taste and quality, but all are very high-quality. I ended up going for the floral and velvety one. I got it with vanilla and iced. It was a fantastic matcha and i've tried a lot of matcha so far. My friend got the sweetened one and she loved it as well. Overall an awesome spot for matcha - need to come back for their other bevs! read more

Hot mocha was not what I expected. I thought it had coffee, first of all, but it didn't. Then the mocha was very watered down and bland. Tasted like a watery hot chocolate. Also, the cup was not filled very high there was a good 1-1.5 inches or more at the top. See pics, I hadn't taken a sip yet. Then it came without a lid and lukewarm at best. Interior is alright, 4 tables or so and 2 love sets couches. read more

Had their specialty Madagascar vanilla latte with oat milk. The coffee taste wasn't that strong pretty bland tasting coffee and very expensive.

Ordered two drinks here this morning, one matcha and one coffee. Both were very good ! The staff are so incredibly kind and had great vibes! The only reason this is not a 5 star review is because the pricing is quite steep... my matcha iced latte alone was $11.

Best matcha latte! Came here after a run on a Saturday morning. The line was out the door but the wait wasn't long. Service was fast and the staff were all very nice. I got an iced yorokobi matcha latte sweetened with house-made vanilla syrup. The matcha latte here is superb! It's just as good as how I make it at home and I am very picky with my matcha. The house-made vanilla syrup elevated the drink and gave the perfect amount of sweetness. My husband got the Spanish latte and he said it was perfect for him. read more
