Stereoscope Coffee - Buena Park, California

Everyone enjoyed their drinks and we got a matcha croissant. Did not get to try the other pastries, but they had many!

Spanish Latte was too much milk, but someone else in the group loved it. Different opinions, but still a good spot.

The vibes here are chill and the drinks are as well. I got a matcha latte and it was as incredible. It wasn’t sweet (as I ordered it) and the earthy taste was present. The staff was patient and welcoming.

Best coffee in the area ! Love the homemade vanilla syrup and the mocha syrup, so good. Good variety of dairy free milks. Delicious pastries

It's my favorite coffee place!! My daughter enjoyed her ceremonial matcha also. I was trying to talk her into getting the matcha powder, but she didn't know which one to get.. so maybe next time. My coffee is so perfect!! I love that it doesn't taste acidic, and it's not overly sweet! My Boba enjoyed her ice water! I also bought the coffee beans to bring home, which I'm almost out. I love that they will grind it for you. They also grind it according to what and how I will use the coffee beans. In this case, I use my espresso machine. Great customer service also. Everyone is very informative with the products!

The lattes are a hit or miss. It really depends on who is making them. Sometimes they are smooth and other times they are just bitter. Today was not good and the milk wasn’t even frothed correctly, it was bitter and just bad.

There's a local coffee shop that's become a cult favorite, despite its unassuming exterior. Lines snake out the door, but there's no flashy signage or fancy logo to hint at the magic brewing inside.

The interior itself might surprise you. It has a work-in-progress vibe, with some might say unfinished elements. Think mismatched furniture and a single counter where a friendly barista takes orders. Forget digital menus – a small display holds the key to their coffee and beverage selection. Seating is limited, adding to the intrigue.

So, what's the secret ingredient that has everyone buzzing about this place? I tried a latte and a brewed coffee myself, but the mystery remains. What is it about this unique shop that has the community lining up for a cup of joe?

Great coffee, however matcha is very sweet. Unsure if they use ceremonial powder for their sweetened matcha.

Stereoscope has been a top-tier coffee destination for me for years, and I’ve always highly recommended it to friends and fellow coffee enthusiasts. Their menu features solid drink options and a delightful variety of pastries to choose from, making it a go-to spot for a caffeine fix or a quick snack.

That said, I’ve noticed a couple of areas where they’ve slipped. Their pastries tend to sell out quickly, often leaving latecomers disappointed. Additionally, the shop has become extremely busy—think lines out the door—which has impacted the quality and attention to detail in their drinks.

While Stereoscope remains in my regular rotation, I can’t help but miss the charm and consistency of its early days. Here’s hoping they find a way to balance their growing popularity with the personalized touch that made them stand out in the first place.
