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

I ordered a matcha with vanilla! There are 4 different types of matcha to choose from which was so cool! I got the Kuro hitsuji matcha. It was my mistake that i was looking at the price for the tea and not the "milk" option and it was $10 :( Was it worth $10? No. Was it good? Yeah. I probably wouldn't get matcha here again because it was good, but not one of my fav matchas I've had. I wish it was a little bit sweeter & that I could taste the vanilla more. Parking is hard here! It's mostly street parking read more

I've been to their Buena Park location and I probably preferred this spot. This Stereoscope wasn't very busy when I came in on a weekday for an another lunch drink. I got my regular matcha latte less sweet with oatmilk. It was still pretty sweet but overall good. The staff is really nice and drinks are made quickly. The inside is cute and casual. It's not super huge but there are some places to sit and enjoy your drink. I believe they also have outdoor seating as well. Overall, I would come back and recommend it to friends and family. read more

I love stereoscope coffee. The vanilla latte is absolutely. I usually order on doordash for pick up because it can be crowded and it is a small space. This place is a real treat. read more

Stereoscope Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Long Beach, California

Little corner coffee space right in the middle of the Second Street shore business area. It's bright, the service was friendly, and it seems to get a good amount of patrons. We stopped in, and the coffees we ordered were made correctly, but were just kinda pedestrian for all the hype. read more

The worker was extremely nice and took her time explaining the different ceremonial matchas they offered. Forgot your name I'm so sorry :( Ordered the Yorokobi Dirty Matcha and it was so yummy! Pricey, but good. Had a great sweet then savory taste right after. Only complaint about this store location is the limited seating. Street parking may be hard to find depending on the day. read more

Stereoscope coffees are always good. They never disappoint. I've also had their ganache milk (which is hot chocolate) and it's so rich. I love it. Perfect for a cold night. Street parking is available all around. Minimal seating inside. No public restroom. Servers are always really friendly and nice. Never had a bad experience regardless of how busy they are. read more

I LOVE Stereoscope and particularly their Chocolate Ganache Mocha which offers an excellent rich blend of chocolate and espresso. I love their house made coffee beans. The location on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore offers a luxuriously chic and smaller quiet space which I adore and frequently visit. Though, I'll admit seating can become packed on a busy day. The baristas are so helpful in helping you decide which drinks to order. I'd highly recommend paying a visit here. read more

I love this coffee place. It's my favorite. I love coming here grabbing a cup of coffee and walking down second Street, especially in the mornings when it is not too busy. The ambience is good. There are outlets, I have set up my laptop there to work. It is busy and a little tight, but overall great place to go for coffee in Long Beach! read more

Stereoscope Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Long Beach, California

I stopped drinking coffee six years ago but I still make it a point to stop by Stereoscope about once a month when I'm in the area. My go-tos are the iced Ujigawa matcha or an iced chai, both of which pair beautifully with either almond or oat milk. It's a little on the pricey side (I paid about $9 including tip for a regular chai with oat milk), but the quality makes it worth it. For a once a month visit, I'm ok spending that amount. There's usually a line due to the cozy space but the staff is genuinely kind and patient so I don't mind. They also offer a variety of teas, espresso-based drinks and pour-over coffee which all sound delicious if you're a coffee lover. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Matcha drinks are good! Various grades of ceremonial matcha that you can choose from. They make various drinks mixing flavors for the matcha. They also have coffee drinks! It's a nice hangout stop for coffee and talks. Only hiccups is that getting the drinks can be confusing if there's a lot of people. There's kinda not a system other than calling your name. Buy a can of matcha and get 1 free drink! read more

Came here since we spotted it while walking around the area. Really busy! Not a ton of seating inside or outside but mostly a place to grab coffee and leave. They have high quality matcha here so I ordered a couple of them to try. The young woman at the register was personable and explained the matcha options to help us know which was more bitter. Not sure which ones we tried but it's definitely a matcha with a much stronger flavor than most matcha spots. Pretty good! But understand it might not be everyone's cup of tea. They do have the usual coffee drinks on the menu. And even though they were busy, they will walk out from behind the counter to hand you your drinks. Great service! read more

Noticed this lil place while in the area for dinner and my husband was eager to try! It is very simple and modern inside. Smaller but enough space to hang out for a bit. The guy who helped us was very warm and welcoming and answered our questions about the menu. I got the sweetened matcha hot and my husband got the iced spanish latte. My matcha was incredibly sweet, even more so than starbucks. I wasnt expecting that from a local spot. It still had a good flavor but i think i would try unsweet next time. My husband thought his spanish latte couldve been sweeter but that is more common for him than for me to think something is TOO sweet. I want to try their ganache milk, sounds amazing! Parking is limited as its on the main street of belmont shores but 5* for customer service and 3 for drinks. read more

My buddy and I had finished a delicious dim sum lunch nearby. We had more to discuss so we looked for coffee. We weren't sure about the "Stereoscope" name, but when I poked my head in the door the delicious aroma of coffee pulled us in! The interior is rather barebones with a long counter and stools for seating. It is light and bright, and the server who assisted us was so helpful and friendly. The coffee was delicious! We sat in front on a comfortable bench out in the cool January sun. The world swirled past, we talked, we smiled, we laughed. I can't wait to come back again! read more

Really was excited to try this place! Not sure if they got our order wrong but I ordered the ganache mocha and my friend ordered a matcha with an add shot. I was told my drink was on the sweeter side, but it was the opposite, very bitter and didn't have a hint of mocha. Maybe just an off day? read more

Stopped by for some coffee with a friend and was pleasantly surprised to see so many matcha options! All kinds of flavored matcha lattes plus four different ceremonial matcha latte options. My friend loved his Americano and I enjoyed my matcha latte! The baristas are super sweet and friendly, one went over every matcha flavor option to help me decide. Their merch is really cute too, I bought a jacket! Also have lots of matcha tins you can buy. Only downside is the spot is very tiny and the line goes out the door, probably because the baristas are so friendly and make a point to chat with everyone (but not really a downside because their kindness makes you want to come back again). read more

GREAT COFFEE!! (Especially the Matcha Latte!!) Okay, Long Beach has a LOT of coffee places. While I have my list of 'go to' places, depending on what I'm in the mood for, Stereoscope Coffee has never disappointed. Not too long ago, I wanted to try a Matcha Latte. I ordered a large Matcha Latte, sweetened and with oat milk. SOOO GOOD!!! I've since tried Matcha Lattes at different places and truthfully, Stereoscope's Matcha Latte is the best!! Super flavorful and smooth. This is now the ONLY place I'll order a Matcha Latte from. Their Spanish Latte and Ganache Lattes are also very tasty! While I recommend Stereoscope for your coffee fix, it's definitely the place for your Matcha Latte!!! read more

Ordered the strawberry matcha with oat milk and it was WAY TOO SWEET. I should have asked if they use puree and a syrup. I normally do a regular matcha and wanted to try the strawberry matcha. I kid you not, my drink was strawberry milk with a splash of matcha. I prefer the umami matcha taste or the more earthy taste. This was disappointing. The matcha color was off and powdery. Service: was quick and they brought out the drink to me outside Parking: easier parking in the neighborhood than the Main Street read more

The vibe is small shop cafe, straightforward brews and artisan matcha. You can see the coffee drips, you can watch them whisk the matcha. Fun stuff. The seating is not much...bar tables against the wall, so it's mostly a grab your coffee and go if the seats are taken situation. The service is friendly and helpful. Parking is typical of the Belmont Shore and 2nd Street area of Long Beach...just grab whatever you can find, sometimes you have to walk but the whole area has a trendy walk-friendly atmosphere. There's a small selection of pastries...I had to try the matcha croissant and it was large, flaky and good. If you must have a pastry with your drink, I say give it a try but if you can go without, it's fine to skip as well. What I loved the most and I know I'll come back for repeatedly is their sweetened Matcha Latte. It's creamy and flavored just right--I can taste the matcha but it's not bitter or "grassy". Highly recommend. read more

Stereoscope Coffee - Try the sweetened matcha latte, if you are inclined to. I loved it. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Long Beach, California

Love the coffee at Stereoscope. Has become my favorite coffee place in Belmont shores. Great work crew!

I am addicted to this coffee. I got a Madagascar vanilla latte, medium, which was phenomenal. The flavor of the espresso beans were so chocolatey that it tasted like I was drinking a mocha in the BEST way possible. I wish I had an IV drip of this latte. Like can someone give me this latte daily bottomless mimosa style. Stereoscope, please do a collab with me so I can bathe in this latte. My sister got the strawberry matcha, which was literally infused with flavors that I would simply become addicted to if it was a drug! Stereoscope, you are doing something right, LOVE it! Service was great! The baristas had smiles, and it was very quick service! This store is a bit smaller, but that's okay, no issue when the drinks were amazing! The vibe was comfortable though, and I enjoyed it!! read more

I have been wanting to visit this coffee place for a while now and I am happy I finally did. This is a small hop located on the busy Belmont shore area. It was a little busy hence it was the weekend and we waited maybe 10-15 minutes for our drinks. We ordered the vanilla Madagascar latte and also the mocha latte, both which were good! The staff is kind and patient and will help you order if it's your first time. The coffee shop is sleek, modern and simple! There are various stools to sit on against the window to where you are offered a small view of the streets as you sip on your drink. read more

This place is very cute and small! I came around noon and it seemed quite busy and there was a line formed outside.They have a decent variety of drinks to choose from and the baristas were really sweet. It was really cool watching them make their matcha drinks and it looked so good I wanted go back and order one. There isn't a ton of seating inside, so most people just grab and go especially when it's busy. Our drinks were superb! The coffee tasted wonderful and wasn't crazy bitter and the vanilla did not overpower it either. I would definitely come here again. read more

I love stereoscope coffee! Everytime we have friends in town we try and take them. Customer service is great, coffee is delicious, and the coffee shop its self is modern and nice.

I did not order their coffee, but I did try their peach and lychee drink, which was delightful! I would certainly rate it a 9 out of 10.

Came here on a Saturday morning to try a new coffee spot in the area. It was roughly 9 am when I arrived and there was already a pretty long line outside the door. Waited in line for some time but it wasn't too bad. When we get to order the cashier and service was really great from her, she was friendly and provided insight on the menu as we were first timers. I grabbed the sweetened regular size matcha and this was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness and matcha! 4.5/5. My partner got a large Americano and was very happy with their drink too! The inside is small, has some seating and with many people eager to try ambiance can get hectic! Also, Once your drinks are ready a server brings the drinks to you which I thought is nice too! I will definitely be returning to try the strawberry milk! read more

02/22/24 Umm... how cute is this place. Came here today because my work was the charity they were fundraising for this month. We came to support and purchase some drinks. Little did we know that all drinks were free today due to their 2nd year anniversary. My boss gave a $20 tip and I thought that was a very appreciative and generous gesture. I ordered the vanilla latte: A latte sweetened with their Madagascar vanilla syrup. Their vanilla syrup is made in-house using real vanilla beans from Madagascar. I got it with almond milk and it was the perfect balance of sweet but not too sweet. I've read from other reviews that they write a personal note on the coffee sleeve of each order. However, I did not get one today sadly. But if you see how many people were there this morning, I can totally understand why. And if it's like that every morning, then don't even worry about the note. Your coffee brings the joy and speaks for itself! 10/10 and not just because they were fundraising for my work lol The barista/cashier was so personable and the interaction we had with him and what I saw with others was just astounding. We need more people like this in the service industry. He put a smile on everyone's face he interacted with. This business truly deserves the support they get! So go get your free coffee today BUT don't forget to tip them well! read more

Love this spot so much!!!! Not only does this place make an amazing latte but the entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel so welcomed. They ask you how you are, how your day is going .... It's really the little things that can make you smile, at least with me. It's something that only takes a few seconds but makes a huge difference. This place is small and located on the corner, if you blink, you might miss it but when you find it, it's totally worth it!!!! Parking is a pain, but again, it's worth it. Whenever I'm in the area, I def will be stopping in. read more

I've been here many times and a sip of their coffee just makes you feel like life is worth living :). They have a spring menu right now, but I just love their iced Madagascar vanilla latte w/ oat so much. Perfect milk+espresso+syrup ratio. The staff is kind and the interior is so clean and modern. Also lots of people study/work here! I personally would just read a book or catch up with a friend in this space as the bar table is pretty narrow. *my fiancé bought a bag of beans last time (which were delicious), and was offered a free drink since he purchased beans! :) Seating: indoor bar seating (w/ outlets placed overhead) & small outdoor seating consisting of 2 connected benches Parking: as many locals know street parking can be tough on 2nd street, but if you come before 10am it should be no problem. read more

Stereoscope Coffee can get packed! But it moves fairly quickly. What I think works really well for this crowded coffee shop is that they don't yell out your name and order at a pick up station; they deliver your drinks to wherever you're waiting. I got the iced matcha milk latte ($7), and I can't wait to come back to try their ceremonial matcha to get a better feel for their matcha quality. They also have non-caffeinated drinks such as Strawberry Milk and Lemonade. With such a small space with high foot traffic, it would be very hard to sit down here for a long time to do work or catch up with a friend, but it is a great cafe to do a quick pick up. read more
