The vibe is always chill, clean, and crisp. Their baked goods section look appetizing, though I've never had. (Someone please tell me how they are and which are your favorite). Oh, and their matcha iced teas..... WOW.

First time trying Stereoscope in Long Beach, and I'd definitely come back!…read more I went with a group, so I was able to try a few different drinks, including their sweetened matcha, Madagascar Vanilla Latte, and Signature Cream Top Latte. The location itself is fairly small, and parking can be a little rough since it's in a popular area with limited metered parking. It's probably not somewhere I'd personally plan to sit and hang out for a while, but they do offer online pickup through DoorDash, and the service was quick (for reference, I went at around 8:45am on a Sunday). The employees were also friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What really stood out to me was the flavor! The drinks are rich, flavorful, and really well-balanced. It's not bitter, overly sweet, or too plain. Everything we tried tasted consistent and intentional. The prices are a little on the higher side, but based on the quality, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the matcha, or even to just try something new on the menu!

I always get the hojicha latte pistachio with grass jelly at less sweetness and its chefs kiss. I kid you not I've had this 2-3 times in a month which for me is a lot. Im not too much of a matcha girl but hojicha which is a roasted matcha..say less. This was my first time trying this chain out and they hooked me on. A bit disappointing that some branches have this drink and some don't which kinda leads to some confusion...idk why some locations have different menus if it's the same chain but ok. Super authentic and a nice study vibe going on. Pricey tho can't lie but I love it so much id come back 1000x times.

Revisited this location and am honestly impressed by their improvements. Ice levels are good,…read moreservice is quick, and professional. Great place to hang around and study. Variety of matcha and hojicha drinks are also amazing!

Headed down to the shop and saw for the first time their recently opened restaurant adjacent to the bakery. Lovely decor and ambience. I arrived around 2:30 (the bakery section closes at 3) and was the only customer at that time. The bakery is small and compact. They have a merchandise section- clothing and pantry/gift items, a reach in fridge with drinks, and the counters with pastry case and coffee service. I saw they still had a few pastries, so had to nab the huge pieces of rosemary and olive focaccia! The gentleman helping us was friendly and helpful; we also chatted a bit with the nice young lady in the restaurant. The garlic herb scone I purchased was very dense and herbaceous. I could see it paired with grapes, eggs or soup. The focaccia was moist, a little oily but yummy. The rosemary flavor and herb sprinkling, though, was very faint. Would have loved more! The olive slice was very flavorful. The standout was the cardamom bun! Soft and perfect amount of spice. I enjoyed that with a jasmine tea later and it's my new obsession. Prices are a little high but the quality is worth it for me as an occasional treat!

We placed a reservation for 12:30 brunch but it wasn't busy at all. The seating is really nice and the restaurant is so clean and spacious! Lots of seating to go around! The servers were so so nice! Even the servers who weren't assigned to our table kept checking on us. I got the chicken caeser sandwich and was so delightfully surprised. The bread is fluffy and light, the lettuce is fresh, and the chicken is so juicy and moist. I also really loved the dressing, which had just the right amount of flavor. My friend got the BLT and said the bacon was really crispy and the sauce was good. Overall really nice restaurant! Would love to see them grow and I would love to come back for dinner!

Finding a parking spot will be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: Located on 2nd St. They have a medium sized space with a good amount of indoor seating. The inside is nice and clean. Perfect environment to get some work done or simply go on a coffee date. They also have a few outdoor seating. Service: The owner actually assisted us. He was very nice, quick, and efficient. Drinks: I tried their seasonal Cookie Butter Latte. It was very sweet, so I recommend adjusting the sweetness if possible. I could tell they use a cookie butter flavored syrup rather than a natural cookie butter. The espresso shots tasted good, but it was overpowered by the syrup. My friend ordered the Banana Foam Latte. She also thought her drink was sweet. The banana foam tasted good, but it disappeared within 10 min. Pricing: Prices are more than average, but I'm not surprised considering they're located on a popular street.

Great place to get away from the chaos of 2nd Street and the bars. The coffee and all the desserts were extremely different than things like Yogurtland and Sweet Jill's.

I've never had this style of cake before so maybe I didn't know what to expect but it was quite dry. I think if I had ordered a tea to go with it I would have enjoyed it more, as the warm liquid would have balanced out the dryness of the cake, so perhaps that was my mistake. The coffee menu has a good variety of latte options. The matcha menu is more limited, and they also offer a small variety of hot tea. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and the staff member brought my order to my table, which was a nice touch for an order-at-the-counter cafe.

Review #1,088 Posted on 7.14.26…read more We came here for some coffee on Saturday the 11th before our long drive back to NorCal from vacation down south. This spot is on a busy street in Long Beach, where there's some parking in the back. You can also enter or leave from front or back too. This is kind of a new/modern type of coffee place. Staff is super cool, and they pump out drinks pretty fast. They've got places to sit inside, and a unique menu with signature or named speciality drinks. My coffee was tasty. Would return for sure.
