    Spanish Latte ($6.25). 12/24/2025
    Sandra L.

    My hubby and I love coming to Stereoscope for their pour overs. They change out their beans often, so it's always a surprise of which ones they offer. Pour overs vary in prices based on which ones you get. The more expensive ones do not necessarily taste better, it just depends on your flavor profile. People who work here are all very friendly and they are always busy. There's plenty of seating as you can sit in the lobby of the business center as well as inside and outside the coffee shop. Parking is validated for up to two hours if you park in the parking lot across the street.

    Matcha Einspanner
    Kylie S.

    Stereoscope has a couple locations but visited the one near Newport on the way to the beach. Nestled in a business complex of sort but was very quiet on a Saturday evening. Super small space, but wanted to grab & go anyways. Ordered their Matcha Einspanner & it was better than expected! It was a bit vanilla forward, but the cream top had a nice consistency that added to the overall drink.

    Stopped by here on our bike ride around Back Bay. Ordered a Pour Over (Peru Cerro Blanco) and a Morning Coffee (Columbia El Divisio - Estate). I was planning on trying a latte, but I am tired of places that are still adding a surcharge for plant-based milks. My Morning Coffee was lukewarm at best. When I shared that with the barista I was told that they could fix it. I think they steamed it instead of getting me a fresh cup. The coffee was good, once heated. The Pour Over was also good. Disappointed that there were no vegan treats to go with our drinks. We were there pretty early so not sure if they were out or just don't carry them. There is seating inside, but we opted for some cushy chairs outside. The outside seating is really nice. No bathroom at the coffee shop, but you can go into the office building and use their facilities. Not sure what options there are on a weekend.

    This review is strictly for their interior vibes and the SWEETENED MATCHA. The decor at this coffee shop is so cool! There are 3D glasses on display that guests can use to view the 3D artwork on the ceiling! So unique and fun to view while waiting in line to order. My go-to order is the iced Sweetened Matcha (with oatmilk)! I'm usually a coffee person, but I think this particular order has converted me into a matcha girly. I love it because it's perfectly smooth and not overly bitter. P.S. the baristas aren't too bad to look at either while you're waiting for your drink... lol

    matcha cream top: soooo tasty. sweet & creamy. I'm going back for more!!! avocado toast: 10/10. no complaints. I devoured it all. fresh ingredients. service: Very nice customer service! Line can get long so plan ahead. park in the garage across the street the get your parking ticket validated at the cashier. ambiance: Lots of indoor and outdoor seating

    Medium Ganache Mocha Latte and Medium Dark Espresso
    Jessamine A.

    I went to this cute little coffee shop located on the first floor of a business building, that opens up to the outside. It is around the corner from the Marriott Newport Bay. Hubby was getting an MRI across the way and told me to get some coffee while I waited. PLUS, if you ask for parking validation you get two free hours! If not, you're paying $1.15 every 15 minutes in the parking structure. The employees were friendly. I tried their Ganache Mocha which was creamy and chocolatey. I enjoyed the true flavors without having to add any sweetener. They serve breakfast all day and have pastries and other drinks. We will have to come back and try them another time. It is a great place to enjoy the weather and do work in their patio or the garden area nearby.

    Outdoor seating
    Vanessa G.

    Menu: Tons of choices- typical coffees, specialty drinks, sophisticated matches/coffees, food Drink adjustability: 5/5 (will customize drinks!) Seating: Lots of indoor/outdoor, no visible outlets though Crowd: Always a line :/ Parking: Parking structure, 2hr validated Features: Restrooms/water filler (inside corporate bldg) Stereoscope has quickly become one of my absolute favorite Saturday coffee locations. The bar itself is an indoor-outdoor cramped space on the side of a corporate building. Park in the garage across the street and get your ticket validated (2hr). There are tons of little nooks to sit outside (I've read many a book here) and also an indoor seating area in the corporate building lobby, with indoor plants and nice restrooms. Fantastic place to get some work done or chat with friends. I originally tried their strawberry matcha with milk per recommendation from a friend. This was good (I just asked for their "Sweetened matcha" with strawberry), but they shine in their "fancier" matcha selections. I had the Hokatsu ceremonial matcha with a bit of simple syrup and it was lovely; small and expensive, but good quality. Although the prices are steep here, I give Stereoscope 5 stars because of the abundant seating, very kind staff, and fantastic vibes.

    $14 yogurt parfait
    Joey H.

    Been coming here for years since post-Covid and the drinks here are always above average in taste and quality if it's not short of exceptional. Today I tried the yogurt parfait and though it was good the portions were atrocious. $14 for a less than half filled recycled paper Togo bowl is quite the highway robbery.

    Outside

    A nice, small cafe with so many different matcha options! I got the Hokatsu Ceremonial Matcha sweetened with vanilla ($7.50; one size) and the Sweetened Matcha ($7.50; Large). You can really taste the difference between the matchas, and the Hokatsu was my favorite There was bit of a line, but it wasn't too bad. We went on a Monday during a holiday and waited around 10 minutes for our drinks after ordering. This cafe is located in a corporate building area, and there is a visitor's parking lot area. Stereoscope will validate your parking for up to 2 hours.

    Cappuccino
    Sarah C.

    12/22/2025 MISO PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE Loved this! This was not like the usual pumpkin spice lattes sold at every coffee shop. The spices were not overwhelming, but had the rich flavors of fall in each sip. The miso had that undertone that brings an extra umami flavor without it being too prominent in flavor. The miso complemented the spices of fall. Enjoyed it! This was a seasonal flavor and I believe it may not be available by the time I post this review. CAPPUCCINO A bit of smoky flavor from the espresso. The coffee was from Peru with fruity notes of raspberry, white peach, and citrus honey. I wasn't a huge fan of their espresso pick, which tasted a bit sour. But they've done a good job at bringing an overall good mouthfeel with their milk foam. However, I would not order this again. GENMAICHA Got it hot and to go. Drank it while driving. Very deliciously nutty flavor of the toasted rice. You can taste the smooth matcha flavor coming through. It was surprisingly good and very soothing as you drink! Recommend! FINANCIER All financiers were moist and soft on the inside, yet dense on the outside. It had a lightly pleasant chew to it too. All three of them were sold in wrapped paper, which was a nice touch. Chocolate - Good deep chocolate flavor with fudgy filling on top. Delicious with coffee! Matcha - This one was good too! A very good slightly grassy and floral matcha flavor. Coffee - The barista recommended this one! It did taste like coffee with coffee grinds on top as decoration. You can taste the brown butter flavor as you eat the financier. It was a pleasant taste and mouthfeel! This one was good too! Recommend all three! AMBIANCE / SEATS It felt like a local café, yet had that minimalistic vibe that was inviting. Indoor and outdoor seats available. Indoor seats were minimal. Outdoor seats with chairs and cushioned seats. LOCATION Stereoscope was located at a commercial office buildings and business center. Please park in the parking structure and you will get 2 hr. validation when you bring your ticket to the cafe register. Parking structure is right across from Stereoscope. I enjoyed the space and it was cozy and parking was easy too. Would definitely return when in the area!

    Matcha Latte
    Karen L.

    Stereoscope is a cute small cafe located in a commercial business area near corporate offices. They have some seating outside but the building next to the coffee shop has a few places to sit. Parking is limited but they do have a parking structure across the street which you can get 2hrs validated. I have been to their Buena Park location but never ventured to the Newport one. They had so many different choices for matcha which I would like to try in the future. I got the sweetened matcha latte. I don't know if it was an off day but it was definitely more sweet than I remembered.

    Leeza D.

    I visited the Long Beach location and wanted to try this OC location. It's in an office complex area. The menu is similar to Long Beach and they have a small food menus. Limited indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking is via a structure. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Solid matcha and lattes
    Sanela S.

    Great coffee, friendly staff and cute outdoor seating - it's a yes for me. The parking isn't great if you're looking for a quick pit stop, but there's a lot and some time-limited curb parking if you're not in a hurry. The matcha and lattes are solid. The shop is small and very limited to no seating inside but there is plenty of chairs and tables outside to enjoy the beautiful southern California weather! It's part of a commercial building so there is some indoor seating in the building itself and clean bathrooms to use if needed.

I only wanted to rinse the lobster off my fingers, so I ended up using a glass of water outside instead. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the food had some strong points, but the disappointing coffee and lack of convenient restrooms kept this from being a higher-rated experience. I would give it a 3.5 star but since its not allowed, the experience was pleasant enough for a 4. Prices were decent id say

We also required new plates as ours had old food stuck to them. Service was not great. Our waiter was somewhat attentive but not nice - the poor guy seemed miserable like he hated his job and did not want to be there. Despite the restaurant being full, he wouldn't come by often when we actually needed something - he even disappeared towards the end and a new waiter had to help us. Food is delicious.

They also had some great looking food on the brunch and drinks section of the menu. You can scan the QR code at the table to see pictures of each menu item. Overall was good and we'll be back every once in a while because we love Lido. Will try sitting inside in hopes the tables are decent. Really hope management makes some improvements though!

So when we get to order, it was 10:20pm already. After the foods are brought out, we had a decent dinner together and they are about to close. So one of the server brought out the check for us to pay and we decided to pay with exact amount with cash and leave tip in cash also. One of the server genuinely SMIRKED at us while counting the money. Like he looked at us and SMIRKED. He probably has a bad day or a busy day but still, it's a Tuesday. So instead of a nice dinner and a good nap, we had a really bad close of the day because of service at Zinque. So if you want food at night, you can come to Zinque but don't expect too much for the services recently, since it was SO MUCH BETTER back then until today.
