"Reading Stereoscope’s menu feels like perusing tax documents: there’s a lot of fine print that makes your head hurt. But this sleek spot in Echo Park (with a second location in Hollywood) is a paradise for coffee snobs who are type-A about pour-overs. These filtered coffees are delicious, even if your untrained palate can’t pick up every note of peonies, apple, or orange marmalade that are supposedly in your brew. The shop charts out each roast to give you an idea of acid, aroma, and complexity levels so you can still make an educated decision at the counter." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
