    Signature matcha cream top Signature cream top latte
    Thidah U.

    Highly recommend this spot! My first time here and was nervous on what to order and expect. I'm usually a shaken espresso type of person, but wanted something different. My husband and I were taking a stroll on 2nd street and came across this busy coffee shop. It's so cute inside and so clean with a place to sit and wait or enjoy your coffee solo or with friends. I ordered us the Signature cream top latte less sweet and the Signature matcha latte less sweet & they were both amazing! The long lines go quick- so definitely worth the wait! I can't wait to try this again and order something different! Also, customer service was amazing!

    Tried the Madagascar vanilla latte, the place is cute and small. The latte was good, not great. Couldn't really taste the vanilla flavor. It was on the sweeter side but I should have asked and asked for it less sweet to my liking. Won't make that mistake again.

    Strawberry Matcha

    I love their matcha. I recommend all, but the strawberry matcha with oat milk is my recent favorite! Homemade strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries-- awesome. The baristas are super helpful with recommendations. Even on a busy Saturday morning they have fast, quality service. Great little spot in Belmont Shore.

    Cute coffee shop tucked into downtown Long Beach It was very busy on a Saturday, but the line moved relatively quickly. There isn't much seating inside or outside, so plan ahead if you're hoping to sit and study. Parking can be tricky most nearby spots are metered, but there is free parking available on nearby residential streets if you don't mind a short walk. They offer a nice variety of specialty coffee drinks, both hot and iced. Overall, a solid spot I'd recommend, and I'd definitely return if I'm back in the area.

    Since visiting LB, I am forever standing in a line to see something or buy something. Luckily this line at Stereoscope went by pretty quickly. I love how pleasant and welcoming the young lady who was taking orders was. Each customer that came to the counter was greeted and she politely took their order with no rush and made sure it was correct. You don't see that in many coffee shops for the most part. I say that because many of them seem like they dont even want to take your order! I went for the iced Madagascar Vanilla Latte with almond milk and to have it there as well. The space is pretty small and there are only windows seat available. I am happy that when it came out, it came out in an aluminum cup! Perfect for sitting and enjoying. The latte was pretty good, although I wish I could taste the espresso more. It seemed a little more milky and water down than what I am use to. Definitely a coffee shop I would stop by again when I'm in the LB area visiting friends.

    Ceremonial Matcha Tea
    Anastasia V.

    I found myself fiending for a matcha while exploring downtown Long Beach, so I was pleasantly surprised to pass by Stereoscope. The barista was so friendly as I took a minute to think over the different ceremonial grade matcha options they offered. With help from the barista, whom I also struck up a cute little convo with, I decided on the Ujigawa matcha latte with no added sweetener. The matcha itself was very refreshing and vibrant. I don't think the picture I included does the color justice. If you don't like a bolder, earthy/umami matcha flavor, I would not recommend this specific tea especially not unsweetened. This latte was all I ordered so I have nothing to compare it to, but I liked it. I also had brought my laptop along to do some work, but was baffled by the only available outlets being on the ceiling. It's my fault for bringing along a laptop with low battery.. but still. I thought the outlet placement was so odd. This coffee shop is also pretty small. However, all the available indoor seats face outside which I thought was nice for balancing work/studying/reading with people watching.

    Delicious coffee at STEREOSCOPE! Stopped in here after dinner on a Saturday night and parking was a hit tough but we made it happen. We both had the Spanish latte which was pretty sweet and rich. They make the syrups in house and seem to take coffee and matcha options pretty seriously- ceremonial matcha options and pour over coffee. Unfortunately it's pretty small and seating is limited, and we didn't see a restroom. We took the drinks to go this time. The cashier and barista had good customer service and communication skills thank you!!

    Coffee after a stroll around the beach is always a must . I had the Spanish latte with almond milk and a butter croissant. I waited inside even though it was pretty busy . I wanted to admire such beautiful location .

    Sweetened Matcha Latte
    Stephanie L.

    First time getting let down here :,( it also was extremely sweet, like double the usual? did the matcha or recipe ratio change?

    Medium Ganache

    The service was good and the baristas were friendly but the coffee was NOT it. As someone who loves coffee, this was the most watered down and this wasn't just bitter, it was almost sour. For the price, I paid almost $8 for a small cup (only 1 size available) with no special instructions. I will say the view is nice because the shop is in between the rush of second and PCH but if you're in a rush and need your coffee asap, good luck finding parking Definitely overhyped and overpriced.

    sweet strawberry matcha with oatmilk & spanish latte
    Jeannine S.

    Ordered the strawberry sweet matcha, spanish latte, cold brew & a signature latte with cold foam. The girl who took our order was so friendly despite how busy it was and there was a line. The drinks were all so good!

    What We Ordered: -Madagascar Vanilla Latte $7.50 -Spanish Latte $7.25 My wife wanted to go shopping at Belmont Shores, so we stopped here for a much-needed morning pick-me-up. I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, which the staff recommended as a popular choice. They even mentioned they make their own artisanal vanilla syrup in-house - what's not to love? It was a solid latte. My wife ordered the hot Spanish Latte, also recommended by the barista, and she really liked it. I tried it too and enjoyed it as well. We're glad we finally made it to a Stereoscope location and look forward to trying others in LA.

    Ordered the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (sweetened). It was so good that we came back again. The first time we went in the morning and there was a line out the door but the second time we went in the afternoon and no line! Drinks are consistent and the place is very well designed. Staff were extremely kind.

I'm absolutely obsessed with their coffee menu, baked items, sandwiches, and their selection of grocery-like goods. I ordered the Midsommar caramel latte, ceasar salad sandwich on their fresh baked bread, and the strawberry rhubarb and pistachio danish (!!). I'd easily sign up for this lineup to be my last meal on earth. I even ordered a sourdough bread loaf with olives so I could ride this high for several more days. The Midsommar latte is crafted with housemade caramel, espresso, milk, and topped with sprinkles of fennel and bee pollen - the perfect finale to an already incredible drink. To hear that they also offer an extensive pizza menu? You won't be seeing the last of me, Colossus.

The only positive thing about this whole thing was the staff we interacted with. They were very sweet but I just can't get over how bad the products were.
