Love this spot so much!!!! Not only does this place make an amazing latte but the entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel so welcomed. They ask you how you are, how your day is going .... It's really the little things that can make you smile, at least with me. It's something that only takes a few seconds but makes a huge difference. This place is small and located on the corner, if you blink, you might miss it but when you find it, it's totally worth it!!!! Parking is a pain, but again, it's worth it. Whenever I'm in the area, I def will be stopping in. read more

Stereoscope Coffee - Madagascar Vanilla Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here on a Saturday morning to try a new coffee spot in the area. It was roughly 9 am when I arrived and there was already a pretty long line outside the door. Waited in line for some time but it wasn't too bad. When we get to order the cashier and service was really great from her, she was friendly and provided insight on the menu as we were first timers. I grabbed the sweetened regular size matcha and this was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness and matcha! 4.5/5. My partner got a large Americano and was very happy with their drink too! The inside is small, has some seating and with many people eager to try ambiance can get hectic! Also, Once your drinks are ready a server brings the drinks to you which I thought is nice too! I will definitely be returning to try the strawberry milk! read more

I did not order their coffee, but I did try their peach and lychee drink, which was delightful! I would certainly rate it a 9 out of 10. It possesses a wonderfully refreshing quality, and I highly recommend it. The place has a lovely aesthetic. It's small, with limited seating, but ideal for a quick coffee run. read more

I've been here many times and a sip of their coffee just makes you feel like life is worth living :). They have a spring menu right now, but I just love their iced Madagascar vanilla latte w/ oat so much. Perfect milk+espresso+syrup ratio. The staff is kind and the interior is so clean and modern. Also lots of people study/work here! I personally would just read a book or catch up with a friend in this space as the bar table is pretty narrow. *my fiancé bought a bag of beans last time (which were delicious), and was offered a free drink since he purchased beans! :) Seating: indoor bar seating (w/ outlets placed overhead) & small outdoor seating consisting of 2 connected benches Parking: as many locals know street parking can be tough on 2nd street, but if you come before 10am it should be no problem. read more

Note to self the matcha was good here. Tried the naka one so I must try the other ones next time. Friendly service. Line was out the door. And a grab and go type of place. Metered parking. read more

Stereoscope Coffee can get packed! But it moves fairly quickly. What I think works really well for this crowded coffee shop is that they don't yell out your name and order at a pick up station; they deliver your drinks to wherever you're waiting. I got the iced matcha milk latte ($7), and I can't wait to come back to try their ceremonial matcha to get a better feel for their matcha quality. They also have non-caffeinated drinks such as Strawberry Milk and Lemonade. With such a small space with high foot traffic, it would be very hard to sit down here for a long time to do work or catch up with a friend, but it is a great cafe to do a quick pick up. read more

So clean, sheek, and nice inside. A lot of coffee shops don't offer good quality matcha, so I was excited to try this place. It was our first time I was a little thrown off because they have different matchas. The owner (I'm assuming it was) she was so nice and explained everything to me about the different matchas they had. I forgot the one I got but it was delicious . You can see them make the drinks thru the glass, I thought that was pretty cool. They were nice to bring the drinks directly to us. Excited to come back and try something new. read more

This is such a cute minimalistic and simplistic cafe. I love the all white and marble look. I will say the seats are uncomfy since their wooden stools with not backing and the counter is tiny so you don't get space with other people or if you like to sprawl out with your work, its hard to. Also, poor designing with the outlets being on the ceiling. I love the chill indie/alternative music here. All thought this place doesn't have a restroom, so you better hold that bladder. They also have dog treats for your furry doggos in the back by the water station. This cafe is located on 2nd St. The baristas are super friendly and attentive with amazing customer service. I love how they ask each customer how was their day and if they did anything fun today? It shows they take pride in getting to know their customer and making everyone feels so welcome. They also have extensive knowledge on each coffee and tea, which has a fruitiness, flowery, or tartiness. I got the cranberry pumpkin spice latte. I definitely can taste the pumpkin spice syrup but not so much the cranberry. But I will say it's one of my fav. However, this coffee is expensive as I added oat milk and the subtotal was $8. They have a water station too. Overall this place is cute. read more

I love this place! I've been coming here since summer and the matcha is unbelievable. I've tried the sweetened matcha and the ceremonial matcha and they were both amazing! I prefer the sweetened matcha (less sweet) it's a great balance. The employees are always so great and helpful! Yes the line might be long but it is definitely worth it to grab a coffee or tea and walk along Belmont and to the beach'. The inside is a bit small but you'll always see people doing stuff on laptop or catching up with their friends. It's a great place can't recommend enough! read more

We were a bit short on time but my sister in law wanted us to try the drinks here so she placed a mobile order and we were able to pickup quickly and easily. It's on a very busy street so I think that's the way to go if you aren't planning on hanging out inside, and that way you don't have to worry about parking! Pina CoLatte - I'm not a pineapple person but wow this drink really works! It was perfectly sweet and creamy and the latte itself was mixed well, no separation from the fruit or juice, whatever they use for the pineapple. Strawberry milk - apparently this is housemade, but I will drink ANY strawberry milk! It was so good. All it needed was a shot of espresso for some caffeine! Strawberry matcha - I imagine it's the same as the strawberry milk but mixed with matcha. The matcha was properly prepared so it didn't have little bits of matcha powder or anything. Super creamy and I liked the fresh strawberry pieces. Definitely a great little shop and they have multiple locations. Love when there are specialty or seasonal drinks to keep you coming back for more! read more

Stereoscope is literally my favorite coffee shop. I've recommended this spot to all of my friends, and every single one of them who's come with me has fallen in love with it just as much as I have. The staff is always so welcoming, and the service and drinks are consistently top-notch. I always tell people: this is not Starbucks. Stereoscope on a whole different level! Everything on the menu is amazing, but my go-to favorites are the Madagascar vanilla latte and the Nakama Matcha, both iced. Oh, and if you're lucky enough to catch a matcha croissant, don't hesitate,it's worth it! I could go on and on about how great this place is, but I'll leave it up to you to experience it yourself. 10/10. read more

This place is so cute and the quality of the food matches its awesome vibes! There's pretty limited seating so this is probably not the place to chill long-term--it's more grab and go style because the seats/countertop are small. The service is great, the staff are super friendly, and very happy to help explain the menu options. The vibes are pretty good with music playing throughout the store and very cute interior design. The Sweetened Matcha we had itself was delicious--not too sweet, not too bitter at all, and the flavor still hit! I definitely recommend coming here! read more

We just keep coming back! After our bank teller recommended this place one weekday morning so we headed right over and are so happy we did. The line was a bit long which gave us high hopes for what awaited us inside. The ambiance is so sleek and comforting at the same time and we happend to have visited during a collaboration with Knotted donuts which was a bonus for us. I ordered their iced Spanish Coffee and my boyfriend got the iced matcha latte and they were everything we wanted. I really liked how rich the coffee tasted and that hint of sweet condensed milk just remembering is making me want to go back lol. It was cool watching all the equipment and the staff was so nice and cared about making sure we got exactly what we wanted. I've already recommended this place to a couple of friends and recommend you pop in too! read more

I've been to other locations but this one is simply the best! While there is very limited seating, it's a great little corner shop with an amazing selection of hot and cold coffee and espresso based beverages. I loved the iced Madagascar vanilla latte that I got with oat milk. The flavor is almost haunting (in a good way)... I start to crave it just by thinking about it. It is a delightful balance of sweet and creamy. The espresso quality is top-notch. While I can't tell you much more beyond that from memory, I know enough about coffee to say that it is STRONG espresso. Perfect body, heart, crema action going on. The barista that rang me up was super kind and welcoming, and even walked the drink around the counter to me. Wish I got his name, but that was a memorable experience! read more

Craving matcha so ofc I had to go to Stereoscope! My first time @ the LB location and the workers were beyond sweet! Chatted to the cashier for a while, she had just started but was super personable.

We were in the area and wanted to try a new coffee joint. Really nice staff and the line went pretty quickly. The restaurant also had the right look. We only went in because my wife likes a certain kind of coffee place (nothing to do with the coffee, more with the looks). Sometimes we get lucky and the coffee's good, sometimes not. It might have been an off day for this place given all the good reviews, but the matcha latte and vanilla latte we got just didn't taste good. read more

There's so many options to choose from on the menu from coffees to matcha. I got their Nakama Matcha without any added sweetener and I will say that I'm not used to this type of ceremonial matcha so after I took a sip, I definitely needed it to be sweeter. Their customer service is so excellent though they will customize and fix your drink to your liking! The price was affordable at $5.50. It's a small spot with few stools so it's more for the grab and go. Parking can be tough as it's street parking or finding a spot in the lots behind. The place is very clean and nice and bright! read more

2/22/23 James L (customer service) reached out last Monday and informed me about their One Year Anniversary promo-free coffee & pastries. Who could resist?! I was fortunate to be able to leave work early enough to take advantage, yay! Thought maybe a cup of brewed coffee? He said, any beverage on the menu! Say what?! Oat milk latte it is!!! That was original plan anyway to have a consistent assessment of my latte reviews. After ordering, donated for the raffle, I sat there to feel the vibe of the store. It's amazing what one can pick up when you just sit & savor. My latte was done in a jiffy- handed to me by this lovely girl in a pony tail. I noticed how at ease & comfortable everyone is. I'm loving it! Sipped on my latte & I tasted how good it was. Now I can see myself coming back here and staying a little bit. It's a small space but I see the warmth of the staff and that's worth coming back to:)) QR code available to donate/enter raffle, check it out!! Winner announced on Instagram today or tomorrow!! read more

Although this might be the smallest of the Stereoscope locations, it may just be my favorite. The barista's are always on top of it making the drinks to perfection. I love the location as it is in an area that is great for walking and exploring - plus it is the closest Stereoscope to where I live. Parking is fairly easy to find on the streets especially in the residential areas. I almost forgot, but they also have the cutest merch and goodies. My go to drinks are definitely the espresso tonic and any of their matcha drinks. I love that they NEVER skimp out on their matcha and gives us the perfect green shade and flavor. Their coffee beans are one of the best in the state, and so of course the espresso tonic would be good. I don't know if they always have it but their matcha soft serve is also so good in the summer. I love going on a weekend morning because there are so many cute and friendly dogs waiting in line with me. Super pet friendly (they even have some dog snacks). It can get crowded but it is definitely worth the wait, which usually isn't too long since the baristas are pretty quick at making the drinks. read more

I wrote the review for this place when I was tired, and kind of did it to checkmark a box. And then the owner send me thanks and a message and I knew I had to do better. I knew I had to re-vist this review and made it glow. Ironically, when I wrote this review tired and begrudgingly, I could have used some coffee from Stereoscope for a boost of energy. However, the coffee from this place is just not drank for purpose it is also drank for pleasure. When I passed this placed it look modern and sleek, almost like it belonged in a Space Station but honestly I did not know what they sold inside. A sign outside the store was not evident. I did see a small chalk board or sandwich board naming the place Stereoscope but at no time did I see the word coffee. I saw people on benches and seats drinking coffee so I deduced that this place sold coffee and I was like-- let me check it out, I was on vacation and I got the time. The place was slick and cozy. Yet, it still had counter and chairs. So it is not so snug that you won't find a place to sit. Truth be told, I went there on a weekday, so on a weekend the hustle might be deeper which might prevent you from finding a place to sit. The place was a white modern space. It did not have knick knacks or any other gauche items that would make this place corny. I inquired about the different coffee options, specifically something that would indulge my sweet tooth. The cashier/barista suggested a coffee-- a Spanish coffee, I believe. He explained that it was the sweetest coffee that they sold. I agreed to try it. Ole! Now that I am revisiting my review, I accidentally deleted a piece of the writing. How did I do that? Working tired definitely, translates to mistakes. I walked over to the barista who was making the coffee. Seeing him work was sort of a Zen moment-- he had a wax on, wax off approach. I saw the barista smell different items from different coffee-making instruments. I asked if I could smell an ingredient that was going into the coffee. The barista agreed. I smelled a container with liquid inside and I smelled chocolate but not with the notes of other flavors that the barista did. I could only smell chocolate. The barista could smell more granular notes. I needed to develop my sense of smell so I could detect odor like the barista. Ok, I got homework from this place. I wonder how one develops their odor detection capacity? I am not going to google it. I ll wonder till another day provides me the answer. The coffee was superb! It was a pleasure to drink. It was more special than other coffees I have tried. It was not the best coffee I have tried. That honors goes to a coffee spot that I tasted in a British Pub in Vegas. Ok, I re-wrote the review and added some parts that were once lost. You are all welcome! read more

Colleague told me this coffee was the best and after a big meal for lunch, I needed an afternoon boost of energy. I ordered the madagascar vanilla latte with oat milk (oat milk is an extra $1.25 just FYI), hot. The coffee is on the pricier side, but you can tell they are using high quality ingredients. The vanilla flavor really shined and complimented the coffee well. The coffee was also very smooth. Few seating available by edges of the space and they have other tea/coffee/needed equipment for purchase as well. Would recommend! read more
