Been coming to Stereoscope for some time now and the coffee and service is always top notch. They take pride in their business and it shows. They have an outdoor siting area which is perfect for conversations with friends. The indoor area is great for studying or getting ant work done. They have outlets available incase your computer starts running low. The atmosphere is relaxing but energetic. By far my favorite local coffee spot.

Just went in for a cup of hot americano. It tastes quite good with some caramel tones and roasted oats flavor. It looks like they do some coffee roasting on site. Usually there is a ton of people waiting in queue and a ton of people sitting inside and outside. There is no drive thru but there is plenty of parking around the strip mall parking lot.

The longer line at this place on an early Saturday by afternoon was definitely worth the wait. Quality made items & really great service makes this place such a win.ITEMS ORDERED:Kyoto Cold BrewEspresso Soft ServeMatcha TeaTASTE:Espresso Soft Serve was actually the main reason why I decided to come here. Saw a few photos & it looked enticing. Just FYI, they only serve it Fri-Sun. I was hoping it wasnt going to just taste like a store bought coffee ice cream & it definitely did not. For me it was the perfect balance of bitter, sweetness, & creaminess. Theres some finely ground espresso on top which makes it look even more aesthetically pleasing while adding to that espresso flavor. The roasted bitter espresso flavor works so well & is not lost while also being smooth, creamy & sweet enough.Kyoto Cold Brew was one of the better cold brews Ive ever had. Not watery at all, with a very prominent coffee flavor. Coffee flavor even came off as fruity & sweet in a nice way. I had to drive off & had not yet finished my soft serve. So I just put the rest in the cold brew & I do not regret that decision.Matcha Tea is literally just that. Perfect for the matcha fan who cannot take the milk or just doesnt want some at the time. They use a higher quality matcha & it tasted as such.SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING:Service was honestly probably best Ive ever had at any coffee shop. Cashier was so genuinely nice & welcoming. Forgot to get her name but, she had shorter hair & was just hella cool. It was a busy Saturday morning & the line was pretty much all the way to the door but cashier handled everything like a pro.Interestingly, Ive been to quality coffee shops that look a lot more pretentious. This one doesnt. Maybe little more rustic with the coffee bean bags & roaster in plain sight.Theres only really one long communal table along the middle of the place with side, bar seating. Also looked like a good amount of outside seating available.They are located right on the corner of Beach Blvd & Los Coyotes. Theres ample amount of parking in this shopping area.Fantastic coffee experience in every way so I definitely see myself coming back here. I dont usually get lattes but the house made syrups sound enticing.

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.

I drive over an hour just to come here. Shots are always flavorful, smooth and so easy to go down. Their matcha latte is the best Ive ever had in my life. It is perfectly sweet and creamy while still maintaining that prominent matcha taste.

The man who helped us at the counter was very nice, and he took time to briefly form a bond over a shared forename. Our coffees were delivered promptly to where we were waiting at the outdoor seating area, and they were quite tasty.

Good taste and great atmosphere. Love the coffee smell and looks like a great place to meet people. But kind of stingy with sizes or slightly overpriced. Check out the pic. You decide if the soft serve cup is worth $6 when it’s smaller than a coffee mug.

Good place to do homework, and mobile work. They have plugs everywhere, and they have a good amount of sitting areas and tables/bars to put your laptops on top on. Menu wise, its decent. They have a variety of tea and coffee, also small snacks like croissants to munch while working. Outdoor space is also available and its pretty spacey if you have a bigger group youre hanging out with. Ambiance is nice, low pressure, and artistic. Good place!

Excellent atmosphere, the coffee was wonderful and the staff were all-around helpful and cheerful. Lots of interesting coffee flavors to try out, and they have a rotating supply of different blends from around the world. Would definitely recommend, especially as a chill place to hang out or study.

Review №12

A privately owned coffee shop that roasts and brews their own coffees. They have a wide selection of coffee beans (from different regions of the world) to choose from. They have authentic Japanese Matcha Tea for those who dont drink coffee. There are outdoor seating and free WiFi. Its a cool place to hang out at.The Vietnamese Brewed Coffee was bad, too sour. The wrong coffee bean and the wrong condensed milk were used. It did not taste like Vietnamese coffee at all.

Review №13

I had high hopes from reviews on this one, and it didnt quite live up to the hype.The ambiance is great, and the outdoor area is a nice touch. Its one of those shops that has a ton of study campers so its really difficult to find somewhere to sit inside, so if its hot you have to consider a different option.They have a Strada so its a good consistent machine, and the shots were pulled correctly but I wasnt a fan of the espresso they were using. That being said, our drinks were made perfectly by the baristas.I have to mention the $5 latte cost. At that amount they are up in the higher tiers like Boy & Bear, and in my estimation the espresso just isnt there.

Small but full of students. The drinks are delicious and the barista is superb. I like the ambiance but I don’t like going to place where everyone is silently studying but only me talking to my friend and I don’t want to lower my voice because it is a coffee shop.

I’ve been frequenting Stereoscope throughout the past few weeks (not enough to reach their 10-drink/free drink deal yet, though).I’ve ordered both of their current espresso options, as well as a few of their teas. I’m an absolute fan of their teas, especially because you’re given two-cups’ worth! You’re also given two-cups’ worth when ordering any of their pourover options. Espresso is served with sparkling water (a nice palate cleanser). Also, free water is available near the register.Stereoscope’s baristas are more-than-friendly, not just limited to having answered any question about their offerings I’ve had. They also one-up their service by bringing your order to you, even when outside.In terms of electrical outlets, there are a good number of them. However, it can be a little awkward as they’re located along a wall where people are usually sitting.One public restroom is available at the back of the shop.

Review №38

Was looking for a cafe in the Buena Park/Fullerton area to sit and work for a couple hours before dinner meeting. A quick google search led me to Stereoscope coffee, one of the most widely reviewed coffee shops in the area. Essentially, a communal coffee study hall, there’s one large central wooden rectangular table with mismatched chairs, bar counter seating along the perimeter of the room, barista and cashier at the back. Soft ambient hip hop plays from a speaker behind the bar. After some coffee related small talk with the barista, I decided on one of their daily cold brews. The espresso creations with milk alternatives were tempting, but I’ll save that for the next visit.

Had a very good experience at Stereoscope Coffee this weekend. Ordered the Vietnamese Cold Brew, absolutely loved it. The cold brew used was very good and their added condense milk had it the perfect drink. Its not as creamy or sweet as traditional Vietnamese ice coffee, but just the right amount. Id be a regular at this place if I lived closer.

I’m ashamed that I haven’t tried this shop sooner! During this lockdown, I’ve been making my own lattes but just ran out of coffee so I found this shop on Uber Eats and saw that they sell 1lb bags of their roasts, which is great because it’s so important to support small businesses right now. I asked in the notes to please ground the coffee to a fine espresso consistency and they did just that. So if you’re like me and do not have a coffee grounder, you’re in luck!They sent a cute personalized note that thanked me for my business and to call if I have any questions, it’s a small but kind gesture to receive, since human interaction is scarce lol.Also, I ordered their Iced Ganache Mocha w/ oat milk and it’s soooo good! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something sweet. Happy to say I will be a returning customer!

The coffee is always good here. I order a decaf skim cappuccino and it is just how I like it. The only negative about this place is that it is crowded and loud. Not the kind of place you hunker down and spend hours. Best to come and pick up your coffee and leave.

Just checked out Stereoscope Coffee. This place is fantastic! Honestly the best coffee Ive had in the OC, if not anywhere. Im a pretty big coffee snob, Ive had coffee all over LA, Portland, Denver, Phoenix AZ, Long Beach, and the rest of Orange County. To my palette, this place tops them all. The beans are amazing, super fresh, and roasted by the owner. He is a perfectionist and it shows with his coffee. Shots are pulled excellently, and the milk is steamed perfectly. Not to mention the Latte Art is top notch. Clean and open atmosphere as well. I love it. This is my new spot.

Review №77

I am no coffee aficionado, but, this place had to be one of the best hole in the wall places you can visit. They have different selections of brews and teas you can select. I tried the kenyan roast and it was a bit more acidic but I liked it. You can order a waffle with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I just wish they had a bigger variety of treats you can eat with your delicious coffee.

Great great coffee. Maybe the best. The ethiopian and Kenyan beans are delicious. Whenever I go, it is a bit on the more crowded side with students studying inside and people socializing outside. Atmosphere isnt the best for a coffee place, but the coffee more than makes up for that.

Review №84

Hands down, the BEST coffee youre going to find in a 30-mile radius. In my opinion, this is one Golden Standard coffee shop. This place sets trends and wins awards for their work. They roast their own beans to perfection and hand craft each espresso drink and pour over as a specialty, third-wave shop should! I go 30 minutes out of the way for this place. My favorite drinks are the tonic shot (espresso with tonic water over ice), a vanilla latte or the iced mocha, holy cow!!Its always busy, parking is a little difficult to find on some days but the baristas are so incredibly friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Some of the best around. I could go on and on about this place!
