My favorite local coffee shop. I love the Chocolate ganache mocha latte. Cute spot to do some work or have a yummy cup of coffee solo or with a friend. Check it out ❤️
Quality coffee and unique choices. Excellent pastries. The place was packed but so organized that our order was ready quickly.
Fantastic pour over coffee and a very kind staff !
Stereoscope is definitely a North OC staple coffee shop! I always get their ice americano when I'm visiting during the morning hours and one of the many unsweetend iced teas in the afternoons :) On weekends, I love getting their special soft serve ice creams as well!! All of the employees are so friendly and create a cozy community vibe for their customers. There are plenty of seats and outlets for people wanting to come to study or work :) They also have a lot of outdoor seating if you want to soak in some sun!
The best coffee and barista
One of the best coffee shop here.
Outstanding. If you like coffee (real coffee) good music, tasty pastries, artsy minimal vibe, and excellent customer service you will fall in love. Don’t miss out! also if you don’t want caffeine try their homemade strawberry milk!!
I went to the Buena Park location and got the Chai with almond milk which was really good, not too sweet. Employees are friendly and helpful. Definitely plan to go again.
I really enjoyed my Spanish latte. My wife said it was the best latte she has had a good while. We will be back to try a pourover and buy some beans. Get the mocha, beat around. If you want something different go with the espresso tonic.
First, the pros: coffee was very yummy and the passion fruit pastry I had was one of the best I’ve ever had. The passion fruit custard filling? Phenomenal. The burnt sugar crust on the bottom? Exquisite. The pastry is responsible for all 3 stars this restaurant earned. Cons: very pricey! 2 coffees (small) and 2 pastries (medium sized) cost $30. Menu was confusing, and when I asked the cashier what a “ganache milk” was, he got really annoyed at me (spoiler alert: it’s hot chocolate). Service was, honestly, terrible. I had trouble hearing the barista over the music, which wasn’t too loud but was played directly over the cash register, and the guy who took my order criticized my drink choice and generally seemed irritated that I was there. Would definitely recommend the food, but be prepared to spend a lot and lower your expectations for service!
I frequented stereoscope a lot during the pandemic. There was never a line which was nice. I visited again a whole year later and, boy oh boy, the line was basically out the door! It is worth the wait for the sweet caffeinated goodness though! Drinks are great, bags of coffee to brew at home are just as great!
Great coffee and outstanding service! They took attention to details when making my pour over. I like it a very certain way. They knew attention to detail. Great coffee and very friendly service. When I am back visiting my daughter at Biola, I will visit here again!
Stereoscope in Echo Park is my favorite coffee shop in LA, so I made a trip to Buena Park from Hollywood just to visit this OG location. I was not disappointed. The atmosphere and crowd are slightly different, more lively, more casual, but the essential experience feels the same: warm and attentive service, delicious and joyful coffee. My go-to drink is a cappuccino, and Stereoscope makes the most exciting cappuccino, always clean and bright, served in their signature ceramic cups. I came back a couple of times and the shop is always packed with locals, students studying at the communal table, young couples on a date, or older folks chatting lively in the patio drenched in sunshine. The shop opens till 9pm and visiting it in the evening reminds me the fun foodie night life in Asia. One thing that deserves a special mention is that this store has soft serves Friday to Sunday. There are usually two flavors: espresso and a seasonal flavor. I can't resist the urge to order both flavors when I visited Stereoscope on a hot summer day and I relished them both.
We love coffee and tea, this place has the best of both! Best coffee shop around, very cool atmosphere and best taste. We like to order the Madagascar Vanilla Latte and the Spanish Latte. Overall always experience a good cup of coffee here.
Great coffee, great service, tiny shop.
Good coffee, very crowded indoor seating, but great outdoor seating. Parking is free. $8 for a large vanilla latte with oat milk ($1.25 extra for the milk substitute). To this day, I still don’t understand why cafes charge such an obnoxious extra $ for milk substitute unless they are making milk substitute in-house.
Nice atmosphere, Barista's were very knowledgeable and made awesome drinks!
My favorite spot for amazing coffee. I love the iced Spanish late 10/10!
Everyone's raving about the amazing service in the reviews but we need to talk about the amazing coffee! Ordered the Costa Rica Hacienda (natural coffee) as a pour over, and a cold one. Whoever brewed it did it perfectly. The temperature was spot on. It hits the tongue with bright fruity notes then opens up into a blanket of warm fuzzy velvety cream. (So satisfying ☺️) Finishes off with a hint of toffee. So interesting! It was good cold too, the flavors were more muted though. I usually don't order pour overs when I go out because it's always under or over brewed so this is a great find. I MUST KNOW WHO BREWED MY CUP
Wow, how did they make their coffee ice cream??? It tastes like Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream, but in soft serve form. You can def taste the coffee, tastes very premium. This place is popping, gonna be hard to find a seat but hey, you just need to grab your coffee right?
