besa is a matcha and coffee shop that also doubles as a healthcare clinic, which is executed really well as you can get a drink while you wait for a visit if needed, otherwise you can stop by and go, study, or just chill here. It's located in downtown Santa Ana which gives a lot of options of things to do around the area if you're not just there for a healthcare visit. There's plenty of seating, which is super accommodating, and the people are all so nice! The decor and aesthetic that it has built is also really relaxing and cozy, which really elevates the overall experience being here! Drink wise, their menu is pretty diverse on the matcha side, which I'm more inclined to go for. Their most popular choice is the strawberry matcha, but I went for the tropica-matcha, which uses mango cold foam, and island matcha, which uses a coconut water base and matcha cold foam. The tropica-matcha was so good, and one of my favorite mango matcha iterations I've had around OC! Very glad I went with this as my first drink here before branching out as I've had so many normal matchas and strawberry matchas that I wanna branch out and try new ones. I highly recommend it! The island matcha was more refreshing from the coconut water base, and I'd also recommend it if you're a fan of coconut water matcha combinations. The drinks are a bit pricey, but honestly for what you get and also being a healthcare clinic, I think it's well worth the price! read more

New coffee shop in Santa Ana that is worth a visit! Located inside Besa Health (healthcare clinic). Interesting business concept. They should promote this more so the community understands the business model too! Great customer service and they have a good range of handcrafted matcha/coffee beverages. read more

Vibes are immaculate! This place just opened a month ago and it offers so much. The inside of the coffee shop serves a dual purpose as a waiting room for their health clinic. They offer primary and mental health care services & yummy drinks and pastries. Upon walking in, Matthew welcomed me and was so nice! He had great chat and was very informative. The decor is clean, open, and modern, offering excellent song choices They have plenty of tables, natural light, and clean restroom. As for the drinks, they offer a variety of matcha and coffee. I got the Matcha Matcha which had a yummy matcha cold foam and a cute "besa" detail on top. It is on the sweater side so if you like less sweet, they have plenty of other options. I will be back to try their coffee and sit to do work here. read more

Looking for a new cafe to do some studying or some work while you're on the go? Ever wanted to get your mental health checked out? Well, you can kill two birds with one stone at Besa. How to Get here? I work in the area so walking was a breeze. It can't speak on parking aside of the street metered parking and structures in the area. Upon entering I was greeted by Matt, friendly and welcoming. Immediately asked if it was my first time. We chatted a bit about the recent history and renovations of DTSA as well as the interesting fact that Besa is not only a coffee shop, but it's also a clinic servicing general and mental health. Now that's different! We also discussed the popular and the favs on the menu. Spanish Latte is apparently one of their strengths so I gave it a shot. What I Ordered? - Spanish Latte (Iced 16oz) $7.50 It's a decent drink. Simple, no sweetness, aside of the condensed milk and cinnamon, you're tasting the espresso which Matt tells me is a local roaster. Would I rank this Spanish Latte in my top 5 or even 10, maybe not. For context MADE (Fullerton) or The Classic Cafe (Fullerton) offer strong top 5 contenders in my book. ***Coming in at over $8 after tax is applied, you just might feel like getting your head checked. While he worked on my drink I walked the space, snapped up some pics and caught a head nod or to to the mellow 90's r&b that was playing subtly through the space. Before I knew it, the latte was ready. Overall, Besa is a nice lil cafe / clinic. Solid stars for friendly service. Very clean and good lighting. You've got a decent amount seating and tables for study or work. Still some room for improvements on the menu / pricing. It's new, so working out the kinks is expected. Definitely worth giving em a try. read more

Love the idea of a clinic and coffee shop, I will say I'm not quite sure how that works so that will take some research. I ordered a plain matcha and that unfortunately did not hit the mark. The matcha itself seemed oxidized and had a dull taste to it, not at all the brightness you look for in a good cup. Even from the photo of my drink you can see it has a very muted color that doesn't quite match a usual cup of Matcha. They are still new so there is some grace to be had due to that fact. I would go back to test out their coffee and will be able to make a better recommendation then read more

Trying matchas at Besa Health today! We stopped by after hearing about them on social media and learned that they're a coffee shop + clinic located in downtown santa ana that blends healthcare with a cute cafe space. They offer primary care, urgent care, and specialty appointments throughout the day, all while running a full cafe in the front. This unique approach creates such a welcoming, patient-forward environment! There's also plenty of seating if you're looking for a new study spot and so many fun drink options. Our favorites are the Tropica Matcha and Berry Blast Matcha. read more

I ordered the cookie butter latte, even though it was one of most expensive items on the menu. I thought it had to be delicious. I feel like the price point was very high for the latte and although the service was nice and the baristas were sweet I feel like the price point for a coffee is just a bit too high, 9.57 with taxes. They had some nice music vibes going on. I went midday during the week and it wasn't too busy at all. With so many other options I just don't think I'll return at the price point unfortunately. read more

Wow! We ordered breakfast at a nearby food truck and discovered Besa, a new coffee shop that also has a health clinic inside. I wouldn't have known that there was a health clinic even after walking in so it is definitely more "coffee shop" forward which is cool. I immediately loved the vibe of this place upon walking in and was SO happy to see a new spot in Santa Ana! Very relaxing interior overall. Their menu has lots of speciality matcha and coffee options, which I appreciate because sometimes matcha isn't as centered at other coffee shops. I got the Lovely Lavender Matcha and it was delicious! It had just the right amount of sweetness and was creamy without overpowering the matcha. They even spelled out their logo with matcha on the top of my drink which was a cute surprise. My boyfriend went with a classic and got the Mocha and he enjoyed it as well. Customer service was fantastic! Both employees at the front were wonderful and we chatted about their recent opening. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to exploring the health clinic options as well! read more

Loving the Double Pistachio Latte series!…read more Picture rich pistachio paste at the bottom, smooth coffee or grassy matcha in the middle, and then a creamy pistachio foam on top, finished with a line of crushed pistachios for extra texture. Every sip hits a little different depending on how you mix it, and it stays balanced the whole time. Nutty, creamy, sweet, and ultra satisfying. Between the two, I like the coffee version more, but you really can't go wrong with either! The ambiance here is just as good as the drinks. It's super spacious with lots of seating, and has an edgy, industrial aesthetic. This is a solid spot to catch up with friends or to just sit and sip.

There's also a restroom on-site and ample parking in the plaza, which is always a plus! The space itself is beautiful, modern and contemporary with subtle wabi-sabi touches with pop of colors. The baristas were friendly, and I appreciated the variety of matcha offerings on the menu. I ordered the Double Pistachio Matcha, which was incredibly creamy and had a rich, authentic pistachio flavor. While I enjoyed the nuttiness, the cream was a bit too heavy for my personal preference so I couldn't taste the matcha as much. I also tried my friend's Einspänner, which was absolutely delicious and something I'd definitely come back for. Another friend ordered the Hojicha Latte, and it had a perfect balance of roasted tea flavor and sweetness. My only downside was that it was quite warm inside during our May visit. The AC didn't seem to be running, which made it uncomfortable to stay for an extended study session or hangout. Hopefully that's something they address as Orange County approaches the hotter summer months. Overall, I'm excited to return and work my way through more of their drink menu. The atmosphere, drinks, and friendly service made for a great first visit.

The coffee itself was good, and I understand mistakes happen during busy hours, but for the price point I do expect the drink to be filled properly. Just wanted to share the feedback respectfully since overall the experience was otherwise pleasant.

We spent the later afternoon reading here yesterday since we dropped off our friend in Anaheim…read morewhere he was staying and then had a concert in Santa Ana last night anyway. Lots of seating--we chose the counter top at the window for the best natural lighting. The shades were so cool, allowing partial light through the slats or full light if you drew them higher. Clean bathroom (one single stall room). Very friendly young ladies greeted us and took our orders. Over the course of the 2.5 hrs we enjoyed being there, we had two beverages and a scone each: iced vanilla matcha, iced americano, chilled canned kombuchas (hibiscus ginger and bloom which was lavendar). The scones were dense and sweet and delicious. After 5 p.m. pastries are 25% off! Highly recommend!

Definitely worth the hype and one of the matchas where you can ACTUALLY taste the matcha flavor and it isn't masked by the sweetness or milk. The size of the drinks also makes it so worth, and they've been consistent with their drinks -- I've never been disappointed! Airoma is one of the best matchas I've tried in OC and not overhyped + is a must try! I'm looking forward to trying other drinks on the menu as well!

It is also very clean inside, they have free WiFi. Our drinks were great and well made. My coconut matcha cloud tea had a nice hint of coconut and the matcha was not overpowering the combo of both flavors. I also added 1 shot of espresso and it tasted delicious!! We definitely will be back.

Eric was fantastic to work with and helped us figure out the perfect amount for our guests. We chose them for the Vietnamese coffee and matcha, and everything exceeded expectations -- especially the lychee drinks! Our guests still can't stop raving about the boba and drinks. My only regret is that my husband and I were too busy to fully enjoy every drink ourselves. Highly recommend!
