Was looking for some good Vietnamese coffee in the area. This place popped up with reviews saying…read moreit's better than airoma or da vien. I had to give it a try! It was in the plaza across from VA Long Beach. Very clean and chic spot. I didn't even get a pic of the coffees before we tried them. If you love good Vietnamese coffee, this place is for you! The coffees were delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness for an Asian. Strong, fresh coffee taste. I can definitely taste the banana in the banana coffee but not overpowering the coffee. I definitely agree with the other reviews that the coffee here is better than the other spots. Would definitely recommend!

Me and my friend passed by this spot while we were looking for Pressed but decided to stop here…read moreinstead. The cashier was so friendly, beyond friendly. I had a bunch of questions about the different kinds of matcha because I'm a newly matcha girlie and still learning the flavors. I told them I wanted something sweet, and they gave great recommendations and let me know the one I chose was really good quality. When I got it, it was a little strong for me, so we added more oat milk and a splash of vanilla, and that made it perfect. The aesthetic of the café was beautiful; minimalist, bougie, and it literally felt like a high end neighborhood café. The menu was teeny tiny, so it took us a minute to decide. My friend got an iced Spanish latte, and she said it was probably the best one she's ever had, this was also recommended by the cashier. We sat inside, drank our drinks, and did a little people watching out the window. Parking was a little sketch, but overall I definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

Today I visited Stereoscope, and it was one of the most uncomfortable coffee shop experiences I've…read morehad. When I walked in, there was a long line, so my friends and I naturally moved toward the back to wait. For some reason, the staff decided to make us the star of the show. Even after we clearly answered that we were not in line, multiple employees kept stopping service to ask my friends the exact same question over and over. It felt like I was being singled out for no reason, and the repeated attention was embarrassing and unnecessary. This is a coffee shop. We're not trying to budge the line just because we're brown people. I've never been to a coffee shop where employees were so focused on making a customer feel uncomfortable instead of simply serving people. It completely devastated my peace and made what should have been a quick coffee stop feel awkward and hostile. Customer service isn't just about making drinks--it's about making people feel welcome. Unfortunately, this experience did the exact opposite. I won't be returning, and I certainly can't recommend this location to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere.

This was my first visit to Cyclops Coffee. This whole plaza has been updated with new stores and it…read morelooks great. I love the new modern look and the addition of this café. The café has outside and inside seating. I prefer to sit outside since there were a lot of students working on their laptops and I didn't want to cause any distraction since we were there to mingle and chat. Being outside was nice, but you also still have other people seated outside, or in passing. The barista/cashier was friendly, especially when I let him know that it was my first time. He asked me what my likes were and said he can make that for me. I went with a hot honey cinnamon vanilla latte and it was good. It may have needed more to it because it was not flavorful and sweet enough. I couldn't taste the honey or cinnamon. It tastes more like a vanilla latte. But I think this is an easy fix next time I order. They also have a restroom for customers which I visited, and it was clean. There is plenty of parking and this is definitely a college crowd, but welcome to everyone.

Kindest workers ever! My friends and I were here on a busy Tuesday evening and we weren't prepared…read morefor how PACKED it was. 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.

If you're visiting to chat or hangout with a friend, I recommend sitting outside. There is a nice view of broadway and it has good shade. I had a cappuccino and a ham and cheese croissant. The cappuccino was just okay and the ham and cheese croissant was a bit weird. The cheese was melted but the ham felt cold and the bread slightly warm. It's wasn't my favorite. The service didn't stand out so I'm not sure that I'll be back.

I ordered the Pistachio latte which was advertised on a fold-out outside so I don't know if this selection is on their permanent menu. It was a good drink. I feel like whatever you order, it will be okay. The service was helpful and appropriately (meaning not overly so, but acceptable) friendly. Again, the biggest draw is the space--a solid small business to support.

A depth of flavor and a balance between the roast and the sweetness of the caramel syrup. My only recommendation would be to order this 75% sweet if offered, would be perfect! There's parking on the streets that run parallel to Ocean and some in front of the shop. Quite a few tables, people getting their remote work done, and an outside patio with additional seating. Super clean cut operation, modeled after contemporary coffee shops but with more than a touch of personality. Service was kind, quick, & efficient

The Maple Lavender Latte is really good, but to me, it tastes best with regular milk instead of almond milk. This location gets really busy in the mornings with locals and loads of tourists as well.
