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!

Outside, very welcoming and dog-friendly

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.

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.

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

The staff were inviting and informative on their drinks. Order a lavender latte and strawberry matcha. Both taste good. Thank you!

I came here the other day for the first time and it was such a cute little vibe! I ordered the strawberry matcha and the very berry latte. The matcha was good just definitely on the much sweeter end, not bad! The service was nice and helpful! The Very Berry Latte was good too! Will definitely be back to try more

Crystal W.

Beautiful location, great service but the matcha tasted watery and more like strawberry milk than anything.

Kayla Y.

found this place through tiktok and decided to give it a try! i was pretty underwhelmed. i don't know how to describe, but it tasted clean and watered down. the strawberry matcha just tasted like strawberry milk. interesting concept too as it had a doctors office in the back? i will say the upside is the staff are extremely sweet and helped us decide what to order.

Besa Coffee is located in heart of downtown Santa Ana - such a cute spot to study, work, or just grab a drink to go! Definitely would recommend to check out! Good vibes and tunes for sure. Will definitely be back! I ordered a Berry Blast Matcha and rate it a 9/10! Very refreshing

Ap K.

Such a cute place! I went there about a month ago and we got the coconut matcha, strawberry matcha, and a coffeee flavor (I forgot) and they all were rich in flavor. It was my first time trying coconut matcha and I get the hype about why people like it. We were helped out quickly by the staff and she recommended me some drinks. I saw some people studying so I think it's a popular study spot as well!!

New coffee health shop located in DTSA. Parking was extremely difficult to find especially on the weekend. The inside was super modern and looks like a great place to study. Staff was super friendly as well and said hi to my doggo. There was also a water bowl for dogs outside their shop. I gave it a 4/5 stars because the coffee was super pricey and i thought it was pretty standard. i believe it was 8.50 for the besa butter latte. BUT that's the only reason for docking, otherwise a great coffee shop!!

Ordered the BESA BUTTER LATTE. 2 shots espresso, oat milk, cookie butter cold foam, & cinnamon. Solid 8/10 Would come back again!

My friend and I were in Santa Ana, looking for a local matcha place, and were excited when we discovered Besa! We went during the afternoon on a weekday when the shop had a few customers every few minutes. The service was very considerate and attentive. We were fortunate enough to find parking right in front of the shop, but this might not always be the case during a busy morning, so plan accordingly! The interior is incredibly nice, modern, and clean, with a decent variety of seating. This is an ideal place to study and work. My friend and I tried the Spanish and Besa Butter Latte. These drinks were made quickly and perfectly. Both drinks were memorable and tasty. read more

The good? Service was great, the people were very friendly. Otherwise, the cafe is seemingly the waiting room for some sort of healthcare provider? Made the vibe a little bit odd once we saw the menu of healthcare options that they provide. The drinks were also very milk heavy, so it was not really anything to write home about. read more

Service was spectacular! The barista that took my order was so sweet and friendly. Very helpful with drink details, too. This cafe has been saved on my list and I've been wanting to try for a while! Got their guava matcha, berry blast matcha, and tropica-matcha. Half sweet and less ice (will be adding more ice at destination, which she suggested!) I got street parking pretty easily, end of the day on a weekday. Lots of seating inside and the music was chill! read more

What a cool concept! Besa combines the best of both worlds: mental health services while giving you an option to get coffee and matcha. They've been open since February and the vibe is really nice. I can appreciate a new matcha/coffee spot with a new concept. What we got: Berry Sweet Matcha: I got mine 75% sweet and it was just a little too sweet. I like my drinks a little less sweet. The consistency is very good though. Berry Sweet Latte: Sipped on the berry latte, perfect sweetness as it was only 50%. I really like the texture. Strawberry Matcha: The strawberry one with 50% sweet is the best. I will come back for this place. read more

The good: * Great, friendly service that felt very welcoming * I was recommended their Berry Latte. It was tasty; not too sweet and the berry flavor was prevalent and natural. * Cozy space with some comfortable seating * Great music The not so good: * Price. The ONLY knock I have is the $8(!) price tag on their lattes. That is frankly insane, even in the day and age of the $6-7 latte. Strictly based on the coffee, yes, I would come back. But OC is a competitive cafe market. You can get an equivalent or even better drink elsewhere in the area for cheaper. It's good, but the premium price is not justified. 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

Oc's newest health clinic x coffee shop! Very cool concept. I only tried their banana matcha. The workers were kind and their was a lot of available space to work or catch up with friends on a Saturday afternoon. Taste wise, the matcha flavor could be stronger but that's just my preference. I would say if you lean more towards milky matchas this place is for you! The banana cream top was pretty good. They decorated the top with the name of the coffee shop in matcha powder which was cool. I would come back to try their coffee next time. 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

Stopped by on my way to the flea market downtown and the vibes are nice! it's a clean and calm atmosphere, I can totally see this as a spot for people doing homework here and just getting work done. The cashier was super nice and helpful! The coffee itself was pretty good I got a latte with oatmilk and brown sugar with a cookie butter foam and it was perfectly sweetened so not over the top. I'll definitely be back :) read more

I liked the industrial vibe of the interior, with a ton of open seating available. The place felt very "no frills", which I didn't mind. Staff was quick and got down to business with serving drinks, which I didn't mind either. I tried a blueberry matcha latte and a blue lavender latte and both were delicious and well made. I also tried their cinnamon roll which was solid too. Overall, this spot is a great coffee option if you're in the area. I definitely will be back whenever I need a drink while I charge my car.

The space is really bright and calm with a ton of seating, and there were lots of people working on laptops, so it definitely feels like a good place to hang out for a while. What I loved most was the neighborhood vibe. People were greeting the barista by name and saying "see you next time" when they left, which made it feel like one of those local spots everyone secretly wants as their regular coffee shop. The barista was super friendly too and chatted with me while making my drink. I ordered the iced vanilla latte and it was great--smooth and not overly sweet (which is rare because vanilla lattes can easily taste like dessert). Overall, very cute spot, great vibe, and good coffee. If I lived closer this would definitely become one of my regular stops.

I believe their espresso leans toward a lighter roast, coming through bright and expressive, while the milk drinks are dialed in with that smooth, silky texture that makes you want to savor. That said, the drinks don't always scratch the itch for me in the way I might expect but it might just be that their speciality drinks aren't quite what I typically look for. Nonetheless I do still think they have a strong coffee program and a team that clearly cares about craft.

Hidden House Coffee

HHC Coffee was a wonderful stop and a great way to start our day! I enjoyed the Strawberry Matcha,…read morewhich was refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Maple Latte and absolutely loved the rich, warm flavors. We also shared the Ham and Cheese Pesto Croissant, and it was delicious--light, buttery, flaky, and filled with great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor seating area. We loved dining outside and enjoying the beautiful weather while sipping our drinks and relaxing. It created the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for quality coffee, delicious pastries, and a great outdoor dining experience!

When we…read moreordered, the interaction felt very transactional, with little friendliness or engagement from the staff. When one of our drinks came noticeably sour and I asked if it could be remade, they did replace it without issue, but the interaction felt more like an obligation than an effort to ensure we had a good experience. I don't expect over-the-top enthusiasm, but a little warmth and hospitality can go a long way in making customers feel welcome. Unfortunately, that was something we felt was missing during our visit.

For BAKO TEA HOUSE, I have to say that in am actually so utterly devastated and disappointed at how yelp and reviews lied to me saying that this place is 4.5 stars. The service was fine. The interior looks really nice. The phoenix oolong tea latte and the roasted oolong tea latte are disgusting. Tell me why I was feeling bad when I saw the drinks come out in under a minute. In what world can you have a diluted, old, no flavor, fake tea with the most mangled boba (it was not cooked properly) and charge me $7 without batting an eye? Horrible quality tea, horrible price, horrible boba, 0 stars if I could. Nah, save yourself your $7-$10 dollars and go get yourself some Omomo, some sunright, some OTHER drink

I walked in with no idea what to order, but Kayla and Michael immediately made the experience exceptional. They recommended the Honey Nut Cheerios latte, and it turned out to be one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. It tasted exactly as they described, like the sweet milk that's left in the bowl after you finish a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. Absolutely delicious. I also had the chocolate chip cookie, which was just as outstanding. Michael and Kayla were knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and genuinely kind. Their customer service was so impressive that I actually asked if they were the owners. They took the time to explain the menu, answer my questions, and made us feel genuinely welcome. I'm not sure when we'll be back in Santa Ana, but if we are, Coffee Muse will definitely be on our list of places to visit again. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Great coffee, delicious treats, and even better people.

There's a small sitting area good for about 8 people. There was one guest on laptop, so I presume they've got wi-fi to for anyone studying or working on the go. The menu hangs overhead above the register where you place your order. I was greeted, "how can I help you today?" I replied, "Dirty Vanilla Chai please, iced, w/oatmilk,16oz" As-is you're looking at $7.25 for this latte, after milk substitution and tax out the door it's $8.25. A bit steep considering the competition in DTSA. What did you order? - Dirty Vanilla Chai Latte 4/5 Stars Excellent latte, just priced a bit too high. Overall? Mid day caffeination fix compliments of Muse Coffee definitely hit the spot. Comeback kid? I would but not unless my number one recommendation is open. Interested in finding out which independently owned cafe in the area with seating, Wi-Fi and whose outstanding lattes come in under $8. Check out my reviews if you'd like to know who's got it locked in the DTSA coffee shop scene!

Enchanted Coffee

Great service caught me at Enchanted Coffee…read more Some coffee shops serve great coffee. Others leave you thinking about the experience long after you've left. Enchanted Coffee did exactly that. I stopped by around 12:40 p.m. on a weekday, and the café was already bustling with customers. Luckily, I found the perfect outdoor seat where I could enjoy the sunshine without sitting directly in it. Inside was clean and welcoming, with mostly high-top seating, a communal island, and a small corner with traditional tables. Being on the shorter side, I knew the patio was my best option. During my visit, I also noticed guests enjoying the café with their dogs, adding to the relaxed neighborhood feel. Whenever I visit a new restaurant or coffee shop, I'm looking for more than great food. I'm paying attention to the experience. Customer service is where I believe businesses either shine or fall flat, and it's often what determines whether I'll return. I ordered the Lox Bagel along with a lavender oat milk matcha. I asked if I could add a single shot of espresso, but Elizabeth explained they pull two shots at a time. I laughed and told her, "I don't want you to dump it," so I happily took the double shot. She also let me know the bagel would likely take 20-25 minutes because only two employees were working. I appreciated her honesty and told her to take her time. Instead, my food arrived in less than 10 minutes. The Lox Bagel came on an everything bagel which was my choice, smoked salmon, cream cheese, arugula, tomatoes, red onion, and capers. They serve it whole, allowing you to slice it yourself. The bagel had the perfect toasted crunch, while the combination of creamy cream cheese, fresh vegetables, salty capers, and rich salmon created a bite that was balanced and incredibly satisfying. The dirty lavender matcha paired beautifully with it. As more customers continued to pour in, I couldn't help but watch how the staff handled the growing crowd. People patiently waited in line, squeezed into available seats, grabbed drinks to go, and somehow everything continued flowing smoothly. Even with only two employees working, the service never lost its warmth. Enchanted Coffee captivated me with more than its coffee. It was the hospitality, the honesty, and the overall experience that won me over. Needless to say, they've earned themselves a new weekly customer. If you're in the area or simply want to be captivated by the drinks, food and service...definitely give them a try.

I was fortunate to visit on a weekday when the line wasn't too long. Generally it's a good 20-30 min wait if you go when it's busy. Great customer service with drink recommendations. My friends and I ordered a handful of different drinks - Matcha Latte, Coconut Matcha latte, coconut matcha and Banana Coffee. The Matcha Latte uses ceremonial grade matcha sourced from Uji, Japan, blended with oat milk for a smooth, velvety texture. It has a balance of rich and earthy flavor with the subtle natural sweetness from the oat milk. Love how smooth this tastes. The Coconut Matcha has a natural sweetness from the pure coconut water and then earthy rich flavor from the matcha. The layering of this drinks is so pretty too! Definitely a thirst quenching drink. The Banana Vietnamese Coffee (Banana Coffee) features a dark-roasted brewed coffee layered over a rich, in-house banana mix. There's a nice contrast between the sweet, banana flavor with the bold, strong notes of the Vietnamese coffee base. Great spot to get good drinks and chat with friends. It's also a great pick-me-up after a long day at work.

So this is my stop when I get my fix of Brodard rolls.
