I've been to Stereoscope Coffee a couple of times now and they have some of the friendliest staff! And excellent matcha! They have a few different series of matcha and that part is very fun here. I love how they explain all the information on each one and personally I liked the Hokatsu Series best which they say is nutty and creamy. I'm not going to pretend I could properly identify the nuances of all the different matchas but it made me feel fancy trying! In the non-matcha realm, the Madagascar Vanilla Latte is one of their most popular drinks so I had to try that. Also the Jacobsen's Salted Caramel was a seasonal special that sounded delish. I loved them both! The drinks are great, the staff is excellent, the parking is metered on the street so can be difficult. But whenever I can find a spot, I pop in! read more

Their drinks are good but the service is too slow for what they serve. If you order 30 mins. ahead, it'll still be 5-10 minutes after you arrive for pick up that it will be ready. I'm comparing it to other shops who serve coffee that's just as good + similar style but with quicker output. Good spot for remote workers, the retired, people with money and nothing to do, and maybe trust fund babies. Good coffee, though. read more

Stereoscope Coffee became one of my favorite coffee shops from the very first visit. I absolutely love the space--it's large, welcoming, and offers both indoor seating and an outdoor patio, which is a huge plus. Whether you're looking for a place to study, catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply relax with a great drink, this spot is perfect. The service is always excellent, and the drinks are outstanding. The coffee is delicious, and I especially love the creamy foam they put on top of some of their drinks--it takes them to another level. Their matcha is also fantastic: smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Between the beautiful atmosphere, exceptional drinks, and friendly service, it's easy to see why this place has become a favorite of mine. I highly recommend it and will definitely keep coming back! read more

Super unique and modern/industrial style coffee shop. they sell beans, tea, coffee supplies, and merchandise as well. They've got a lot of seating to hang out and study. My boyfriend got a mocha that was very rich dark chocolate, more bitter than sweet. I got the Madagascar vanilla latte and it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet but just enough. read more

I got their signature matcha creamtop and it was so good! I really liked how it wasn't overly sweet but also not super grassy. The inside was also really cool and I liked how you could see the workers preparing the drinks right in front of you. Speaking of the workers, they were super friendly and nice to talk to! I'd love to come back and try some more of their other drinks read more

Don't come here if you want matcha, get a coffee instead (hence the name Stereoscope COFFEE). You really can't trust the ratings you see on social media because I saw people raving about how good this matcha is. There are different ceremonial matcha tiers they offer and I got the popular Yorokobi blend, which is supposed to have a smooth creamy umami flavor. When I got the drink it was a dirt green color and was overly milky tasting which I was very disappointed about. I don't know if it's even worth it to come back to try their other matcha offerings because they are quite pricey and there are better spots in Ktown. The inside of the cafe is minimalistic and was filled with people doing work on their laptops. You can also park in the AVA apartment lot and they validate for 1 hour which is a plus though. read more

Loved this coffee shop. A beautiful and peace place to work remote and tackle some emails, for some reason is was so clean and chic it reminded me of an apple store lol The matcha was delicious, it wasn't too sweet, it was aesthetically pleasing and the quality was surprising, There was various origins and blends for matcha to pick and choose from. read more

Open at 6AM 10/5 stars!!! It's so hard to find a good shop open early! Service was nice, they asked me if I had questions and I said I've never been in before and they directed me towards their signature latte cream top- it was oh so delicious. Their ham and cheese croissant is really good. It has a pickle in it. I feel like they get it somewhere similar to one of my other coffee shops that I like. I was not prepared for the stark interior decoration lots of sharp edges- so different that what I've seen. read more

A worker told me that they validated parking tor 2 hours, I park for 2 hours, then to find out I was misinformed and parking is only validated 1 hour. I asked the same workers if anything could be done, whether that be a refund or a compensation for the unexpected cost I had to pay. But they didn't offer an apology or anything to clear this misunderstanding The customer service was saddening but not surprising. read more

New stereoscope coffee location unlocked! I've been to the Echo Park location and every time I'm in the area it's always my first choice. Love the quality of coffee and just how very detailed they are overall. What I love the most is thought as I tagged them on Instagram they'll immediately ask how my visit was or how my coffee was. That shows they truly care. This location is a bit more spacious and very modern/minimalist which I love. Parking is a little tricky though as it's only street parking so if you get lucky then you scored. read more

Tired this spot with my friends since we were in the area and I wish there was one closer to me. There's only street parking and then interior was modern and minimalism. There was a long line but the service was fast and then drinks hit the spot. The signature latte cream top coffee (4.5/5) was my favorite, the matcha cream top (4/5) was also good but I would recommend skipping the ganache milk (1/5). The latte was strong, creamy, and not too sweet! read more

I heard good things about Stereoscope's matcha, so I headed over before work. Staff was super nice and patient to explain the different types of matcha I could choose from for my latte. I opted for the Hokatsu matcha, and the drink came out pretty fast; I also appreciated staff bringing the matcha over to me! Taste-wise, it was strong and unsweetened, which is exactly how I like my matcha! There's street parking right in front of the café, and the interior is minimalist, but spacious to do work or have a friend catch-up. Overall, I approve of Stereoscope! read more

What a cute little coffee shop with some nice merch and colorful arts. We came in to kill some before our dinner nearby. This is a good sized place with a lot of seatings. But the chairs seem to be a bit hard to sit in for long time. We decided to have cold brew, cortado almond milk and ceremonial matcha tonic tea. The caffeine drinks were strong enough for me. Matcha tonic was very refreshing and tasty. The service was fast and friendly! read more

I love this Stereoscope location! The space is bright, spacious with a beautiful modern industrial vibe. There's plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor), including large communal tables. A great spot for getting some remote work done! They have 4 different ceremonial matcha types to choose from. I got the Yorokobi series matcha latte which was recommended to me. It was so smooth and I could tell that it was quality matcha. Parking - there's street parking available but they also validate at the garage for 1 hour read more

Was in the Hollywood area for some shopping and Yelp directed me to Stereoscope Coffee. Here's what we ordered... Spanish Latte: excellent Madagascar Vanilla Latte: excellent Service was great as they brought me my coffee even though I was taking it to go. The shop itself was beautifully designed and very spacious with high ceilings. They also had a bathroom. This shop is one of many stores on the bottom floor of a large apartment building. I was able to park inside their secured parking lot for free with 1 hour parking validation. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was driving home on a Sunday afternoon post workout, and this coffee shop caught my eye! So as a matcha girlie, I think this is the best matcha I've ever had. I ordered a Nakama matcha with simple syrup, but it was the coolest thing to see different types of ceremonial matcha offered on the menu, based on region. I also ordered an Everything Croissant, which was so delicious. The croissant has hint of jalapeños in it for a very subtle kick. I loved how spacious this location is, a great place to work or study. There were a good amount of people visiting the coffee shop but it wasn't overcrowded because of how spacious this place is. Additionally, parking is metered all the way down Santa Monica Blvd., and there are plenty of spaces on cross streets. I will definitely be back, perhaps to remote work, but absolutely to try the other matcha options. read more

I was welcomed warmly and offered options for my drink and it was AMAZING! Parking is street parking but there's plenty of it. read more

I don't care what anyone else says, this place single-handedly changed my views on what coffee could and should taste like. Being able to over time experience the different taste profiles of their beans whether it was honey or aerobically processed and absolutely expanded my palette for coffee in a very exciting way. I also really very much enjoy their iced matcha tonics. Pretty much everywhere I go I find myself comparing it to this place as the golden standard. read more

I was looking at a long evening commute back to NoHo when I decided I obviously needed a little bev to keep me company (and sane). There was a long line but San (I may be spelling that incorrectly) was absolutely delightful at the register. He kept a good pace through the line, leaving enough room for the bar to catch up but not so long that it felt frustrating. The really impressive part is he remained very perky, pleasant, and not too rushed. It was like a good balance of urgency but not chaos which as a customer service girlie, I completely appreciate and realize it's not always that easy to maintain. He also kept communication up when he was busy. 10/10 for San, keep him around! Parking wasn't too bad. There's a version where I could see it being hard as it's all street parking on Santa Monica, but I arrived around 4:20 or so on a Wednesday and found several meters wide open right in front. As for the reason we're all here, the drink itself! I chose the strawberry matcha over ice and it is DELICIOUS! I specifically asked for sweetened so I'm not sure if that's from the strawberry or if they add it so if you DON'T like your drinks very sweet I would ask for clarification as this was decently sweet (which is my personal preference). The matcha color looked a little light so I was worried it wouldn't be strong enough for me but it tasted wonderful. Perfect amount of ice to milk ratio. It was also surprisingly fast to come out compared with the time I waited in line to order. They even delivered it out to me on a cute little wooden tray while I was just waiting for them to call me to the counter. I know I've been here one other time and I don't remember what I got I think it was the vanilla latte, and I do so far prefer the matcha. There were lots of seating options and even a cute little patio area. The inside is a little industrial so I'm not sure it's the right 'stay and work all day' vibe for me but I think the patio would be amazing on a slightly cooler day. I'll have to investigate the outlet situation as well so I'll update this review next time I get to do a little more research. Price is fairly standard for the industry these days. I paid eight dollars plus tip for my drink. This location is a little out of my way with my usual routine but I will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area (or betttter yet COME TO THE VALLEY)! TLDR: In a world where we are all becoming more and more intentional about where we place our dollars, Stereoscope is worth the investment. read more

So so good. I'm kind of surprised it took me this long to try Stereoscope Coffee, but the Strawberry Matcha I ordered made me an instant fan already. The coffee flavor was perfectly strong and smooth, while not being overly sweet with the strawberry taste. Their menu is very diverse, with drinks I don't normally see at other coffee shops so I'm excited to try some other ones out in the future :) read more

It's a gorgeous space, for sure. Their cold brew is interesting. I wouldn't say it's delicious. It's fruity, yet bitter. And their little packaged cakes are dry as a bone. Other than that, it's a lovely refuge. I will have to try their pour overs to give a final judgment. read more

Is it the stark modern interior that draws in the monotone clientele? Needed a place to spend a few hours working and was drawn to this place. Maybe because that day I also chose to wear all black and white like every other customer and employee that stepped into this place the three hours I spent there. I fit right in - latte in a beautiful minimalist round cup that sat on a base. The aesthetics are strong here, but they are also backed up by relaxing vibes and good drinks. Quite spacious and plenty of room to work. read more

It's got a pretty interior and good vibe to work in but don't pay for the drinks here. they're a scam. $10 for a "large" matcha that's like 12 oz is absurd.... even for LA. Their Large is NOT a large and it's all ice. read more

I'd popped into Stereoscope once before and appreciated the coffee shop's unique, industrial vibe, great service, and chai tea. Recently, I decided to go back to try the matcha that everyone was raving about. I went for one of the ceremonial blends and was honestly, whelmed. I think it needed to be whisked a little more because I found it to be gritty. It also had more of a jasmine tea aftertaste and the flavor of the matcha wasn't shining through the oat milk. That said the color was stunning and, once again, the service was outstanding. I'd maybe come back to try another one of the ceremonial matcha options, or even the sweet matcha, and one of the pastries, but not anytime soon. 3.7/5 read more

Super yummy!!! I got my matcha with simple syrup (tasted better that way than with vanilla). I believe it was the lowest level of matcha that I got? I can't recall the name but it was so good. I also opted in to getting it with oat milk which ALWAYS makes it taste 10 times better!!! The inside was cool and modern looking I didn't quite care for it though because the seats were a bit uncomfortable but still cool! read more

The vibe is always on point. welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully designed and the coffee is consistently amazing, which is honestly rare these days. I've never had a bad drink here. My go-tos: * Cold brew or Iced Matcha * Madagascar latte * Spanish latte One small thing that goes a long way for me: when I order delivery, they sometimes write cute little notes on the cup or bag, and it genuinely makes my day. It's such a simple touch, but it shows care and that's what keeps me coming back. Great coffee and attention to detail. Highly recommend! read more

$13 for my matcha latte is the highlight of this review, however, I'll still give it 4 stars. I chose the most expensive matcha's choice, which was Ujigawa, as recommend by staff and I thought it was OK, not like phenomenal or something so with that price I'll opt out and chose the cheaper ones (or buy my own matcha tin LOL or go to Community Goods for one with Einspanner and cheaper price!) FYI, they have a little graphic next to every matcha choice so you can choose what you like, I asked for the one without the grassy after taste and strong flavor and got that one. Nice ambiance, lots of people come to work on their laptop. Plenty of in and outside seatings, which is a big plus!!! Nice neighborhood, I park on street outside which let you park for 10 hours from 8am to 6pm LOL. Big windows so great lighting, therapeutic jazzy music and clean industrial designs. Overall, really solid study coffee place, just not breaking my bank to order the $13 matcha latte option anymore! read more

Was in the area and decided to stop by for some coffee. The cafe itself feels futuristic and minimalist. Definitely reminds me of that one Spongebob episode where he travels to the future (IYKYK). It wasn't too busy, arrived on a Sunday morning around 10 am. There was no line and drinks came out quickly. I tried their sweetened matcha (iced) with almond milk. The matcha was a bit powdery which is to be expected with sweetened matcha drinks. TBH, wasn't the best matcha. The Le Labo soap and lotion in the bathroom was a nice touch. I think this is a good place to go if you're looking for a quick drink in the morning. If I were to go next time I would opt for one of their signature drinks in hopes of a better experience. read more
