Lot

Curator’s note

Leif An took his first barista job in high school thinking it would be a quick and easy summer job, and he and Clifford Park went on to start Stereoscope as a wholesale roaster whose delivery drivers were qualified baristas, able to troubleshoot for an account on the spot. This Beach Boulevard counter was the first place the company poured for the public.

The Coffee

Espresso here is a double shot of a single origin, and the pour-over list carries a single-farm decaf, El Diviso's Ombligon from Colombia, alongside the regular lots.

The Vibe

White walls, natural light and square white tile with dark grout make up the room, and the tile runs up the walls and down the front of the bar under a black counter and dark bell pendants, with retail bags and glass jars on wood shelves behind. The front is floor-to-ceiling glass onto the street and its palms, with metal stools along a window counter under a round black Stereoscope Coffee Co sign.
