    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.

    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.

    Ceremonial Matcha Tea

    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.

    Coffee after a stroll around the beach is always a must . I had the Spanish latte with almond milk and a butter croissant. I waited inside even though it was pretty busy . I wanted to admire such beautiful location .

    Sweetened Matcha Latte

    First time getting let down here :,( it also was extremely sweet, like double the usual? did the matcha or recipe ratio change?

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    Tried their coffee for my first time last weekend and hadn't stopped thinking about the Spanish latte all week... so I had to go again today! It's SO TASTY!

    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.

    Salted caramel latte and Madagascar vanilla latte
    Jenny P.

    Coffee was good. I got the iced salted caramel latte and my bf got the iced Madagascar vanilla latte. Cashier was super nice and friendly. Small store with uncomfortable/limited seats.

    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 :)

    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.

The lovely man working here, I do believe he might be the owner, pushed together three smaller tables together so my group of five would have somewhere to work. If it weren't for him, we would've left immediately to find somewhere else. I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin that I asked to be warmed! The cafe has a very warm, cozy, old-fashion feel where you never want to leave. I can see why so many people come here just to sit and chat.

Plus they serve everything from bagels, croissants, sandwiches, desserts, etc. Place is spacious indoors. The staffers all were very nice and accommodating to the grandchildren. We ordered coffee and some sandwiches and very good! We truly appreciated the kindness of the staff and enjoyed the coffee/tea and food. We will definitely come here again on on our visit to Long Beach and recommend them to our family/friends. John, Thank you the reply! Please tell the staff who provided the banana to our grandson! She so sweet! We where there this morning 9:36am.

Let's start with service: the woman at the front was very dry, quiet, and uninterested. We tried asking her if we could add cold foam or sweet cream to our drinks to make them sweeter, and she said it was only available on seasonal drinks. As an avid matcha latte consumer, this made zero sense to me. While I don't blame her bc she likely had nothing to do with that decision, she wasn't kind in relaying that information or trying to help me find something on the menu I may like. Her demeanor remained the same when my friend ordered his drink, and we both felt a very negative energy coming from this woman, simply put it didn't seem like she wanted to be there taking our order. This was around 1pm last Saturday (the 21st of March), so they had a decent amount of customers, but it wasn't some crazy morning rush. Forward to the drink : we grabbed our drinks which came out promptly. I tasted my matcha and just as I suspected due to the lack of sweetness, it just tasted like grassy chalk. I assumed that my friends latte would be better, as matcha can tend to have an earthy taste to it to begin with. Then I tried his... chalky and sour. Due to the lack of customization and the barista's attitude, we just took a couple sips and tossed our drinks. It was a super negative experience for a place I really really wanted to like. I think allowing people to use sweetener and cold foam on more than just seasonal lattes would be a great first start, and perhaps training the staff on appropriate customer interaction would also help. Loved the branding on this spot, but it seems like the people who work there don't want to be there and it really put a damper on the experience, and for a place so cute, the drinks and vibes should be top notch.
