Update July 2024:

I used to think stereoscope is overpriced but it’s basically the norm now (maybe slightly higher) but considering other shops give you less coffee for about the same price at similar or lower quality, it is fair. At least stereoscope gives you a good amount of quality coffee!

Consistently good drinks and I say this as someone that has tried basically all of their drinks besides the tea line.

One thing I can hope for is shorter lead time for online orders. Currently using clover, it’s at least 30 minutes once ordered and even longer using apps like grubhub. But it seems they’re making orders at max output so not sure if this can be possible.

I also wish you have the option to add no ice in any drink as I sometimes get multiple drinks to save the others for the future.

In any case, stereoscope is the gold standard for specialty coffee. ———————

Had to knock another star bc the bfast burrito is now smaller but pricier. And hot sauce costs extra 😑

update: Sep 2023

So I've been 20+ times now and I really do love their coffee because it's tasty, high quality, and consistent. Their food is also some of the better foods available at specialty coffee shops like the bfast burrito and english muffin sandwich.

However, lately, they have raised their prices quite a bit so the drinks are now in the $7-8 range. Especially for tonics it is quite expensive and even viet cold brew is about $7+. Not to mention their bfast burrito is $16 and hot sauce costs extra (charging extra for hot sauce is really bad form. If people don't want it, then just have it as a free add on).

As much as I love this place, the prices are getting out of hand. Sure, everything is expensive now but if you're charging $8 for tonic water and a chai shot... you know what you're doing. And forget ordering on doordash etc bc prices are even higher which is understandable but point still stands.

Best royal milk tea I’ve had! Also their cup doesn’t seem to condensate very much? Not sure why but very nice. Usually plastic cups with ice would be dripping in water/condensation but not this one.
