Quickly stopped by for a Friday morning pick-me-up. It wasn't busy, but there was a steady stream…read moreof people coming in one after each other. The parking is a bit off putting as there are limited spaces and the lot itself is small. I was almost hit by a larger car suddenly pulling out of their spot, so be careful! My sister got a small Strawberry Vanilla Latte ($~7, looks about 16 oz) and service was efficient. I had a few sips of her drink, and it instantly made me think of Nesquik strawberry milk mixed with espresso. I thought the sweetness was at a good level, but I could see it being borderline too sweet if you have a whole drink to yourself. I really liked the unexpected nostalgia factor, and the drink itself was very pretty. The interior is intricately decorated, with little signs and knick knacks everywhere you look. My favorite part was the community resource wall! It was completely filled with flyers (some bilingual) and there was a shelf with stacks of business cards from professionals of all industries. I also spotted a "Know your rights" poster on one of the counters. In a time where new coffee shops seem to be popping up every other day, it's heartwarming to see one that is actively giving back to the community. There's abundant seating and this could be a cozy place to hang out with a friend. TikTok: @qtrinthejukebox Instagram: @qtrinthejukebox

You can also tell that a lot of care and thought went into designing this space. I'm obsessed with the blue tile and the perfectly coordinated retail wall. While I was here, I saw such a wide variety of customers, which I loved. You can tell everyone is welcome and that people genuinely feel comfortable spending time here. Lastly, I wanted to shout out the two employees working on 7/31 around 8:00 a.m ("BigVee" & a gentleman with longer hair who made my avocado toast) They were both so friendly and welcoming. It was early, so I would've understood if they were still waking up, but they were both bubbly, kind, and made my morning a little brighter. If a manager sees this, please let them know how amazing they are!

COME HERE IF YOU LOVE SPECIALTY COFFEE…read more DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU LOOK FOR: PRETTY LOOKING/LAYERED SUGAR BOMB DRINKS (nothing wrong with that though! Just wanting to help with expectations if you've never been here.) This place serves purely traditional coffee. I'm new to living in this area in LA (I come from Orange County) and have been trying to visit the coffee shops out here. So far, this is THE BEST from what I've tried so far in terms of specialty coffee. (I don't have a long list that I've visited yet) It's quite refreshing actually, to see a coffee shop that's PURELY specialty coffee. No frills or thrills, just traditional basics done well. Decor is great. I tried the emerald series espresso as a flat white (two of them) which is marketed as rare and exotic. I didn't want to read much too much into it at the moment. I was just wanting my caffeine fix. Both together came out to around $17 (oof!) They at least handed us 2 oz samples of coffee. Presentation of the drinks were done well. You can tell that they really care about the craft because we were waiting unnecessarily long on a slow day. I over heard a 'How did that pull?' while waiting. I appreciate the care.

Drove by here a bunch of times and always had on my list to try. Today was finally the day, as I…read morewas going to try a different coffee shop, but they had no parking. I was able to nab a spot almost out front for this shop. The workers are nice. Although, the issue I had was the guy making the drinks tried to give my pastry to another customer. Also, there was a female customer he knew that would not stop talking to him. She seemed to be flirting with him and distracting him. Like gurrrrrl, stop you are gonna make him mess up my order and wasting time because he's going slower to talk to you. He already seemed to be behind on orders.

We were visiting Crafted at the Port of LA and tucked just inside one of the entrances is Pepper's…read moreCafe. This is a delightful stop for coffee while shopping. There is a cozy seating area adjacent to Pepper's as well if your feet need a rest. We ordered a Honey Lavender Latte and a Vanilla Latte. Both of these choices were full of magical flavored coffee goodness. The honey lavender had wonderful lavender accents to the rich coffee. The vanilla latte was also full of vanilla flavor. We really enjoyed our first visit to Pepper's and hope to stop many times in the future when we are shopping at Crafted. Yay!

The back room at this low key location has a show room with a car collection that belongs to the building owner and is available for viewing on weekends only.

Shout out to Francisco, Geraldo and the rest of the crew for doing such a great job.

So I needed coffee after just landing and this placed looked good. I try to give coffee shops…read moremultiple chances before actually singing their praises however - the reviews hype this place up accordingly for the items they have. It is a smaller cafe and limited pastries, this should not deter you from trying there items. My fiancée grabbed a muffin and we ate it before I can get a nice photo. This was my first time trying this place and I got the holistic latte and my fiancée got the Spanish latte. I want to note - if you're someone who likes a stronger coffee please request an additional shot, as the drinks are more flavorful based on the type of latte you get. However if you're new like me and unsure, you can more than likely go in and get an extra shot and it would be no problem :) if you're a coffee person who loves supporting your local cafes, give them a shot you won't regret it. I do want to note a few things, have a chitchat with the staff very helpful and you're a learn about where they started from. The second, there is no public bathroom.

I want to give 1 star just out of sheer disappointment but I won't because the staff was nice and…read morequick and the overall vibe is great. They got free WiFi. Iced turon latte was the complete opposite however. I could not tell where the coffee started and the sugar ended. It was a sweet milky drink with a bitter edge that very closely resembles what you might get from Starbucks. The cherry on top--it was $9.38. That's an absurd price tag for a 16oz swill. I was also taxed. My understanding is cold to-go drinks are not taxed in CA. This was a cold, to-go order. Maybe a POS error, maybe local laws I don't know but please double check. I'm never taxed at sbx for a similar order.

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 came to try a new drink after the last time I first tried them (i wasn't a fan) BUT after coming…read moreback, safe to say I'm now a fan. I got their matcha latte iced with pistachio milk (new addiction) and honey sweetener. Super yummy. It turns out, it really depends on what you add and how you customize the matcha. Their coffee overall is really good though! The environment and space is cool and comfortable. I would recommend to come inside as the outside looks different from the inside which it's more spacious once you get in. Overall I'm around this area a lot and it's a walking distance from where i usually am so I'll be here again:)

Get 2nd Street vibes out of your head. If you want good coffee and solid pastries then this is a spot to visit. There's not a lot of seating inside but enough to accommodate a few small groups. They do have a nice little patio out back if you have dogs with you and it has parking as well. All in all a solid spot good drinks and pastries which is what you're coming here for. I got the matcha tonic, it's very refreshing just make sure to mix it well. My partner got a capuchino. I don't remember what pastries we got but I remember it was nice and savory.

I also love that their coffee is imported from El Salvador, you can really taste the quality of the beans. It's a great place to study or get some work done, and the atmosphere is inviting.

Nice place in a location that needs it…read more Coffee is good. And staff is very friendly, but it comes most often with a slow service, thanks to chatty customers. The outside stand with burritos is awesome and I secretly hope it's there when visiting. The selection of baked goods is very narrow. And it also seems like owner is trying to be on the safe side and not to be left with a few extra muffins in the end of the shift... The most basic bakery item, such as a plain croissant, would've been really helpful. Overall it's a good place.
