I love this place i ALWAYS come here and i usually stay until closing time LOL!! The food here (esp croffles and the nutella banana bread) are so good. my fav drink is the mango jasmine tea one and also the double matcha strawberry drink(extra matcha base) The vibes are phenomenal here, the music is awesome! i wish they had more seating but i still manage to snag one lol!! Best study spot I love this place more than my home and always get all my work done. If you try one thing in irvine, be sure to come here!

Very trendy and aesthetic! Great vibes and easy to find near John Wayne Airport (SNA). The workers…read morewere kind to tell us that the matcha doesn't come pre sweetened/ come with any added sweetness, so you do need to pay for the add on. Because they have good and special coffee blends, it was a little bitter for me. I'm more of a creamy coffee person, so if you like the taste of coffee or like a little bitterness then this is great spot for you. They also add info cards on top of the drinks so you know what blend they used to make your drink. I thought that was a great and personable touch that helps educate customers.

I first went to their sibling location CUP years ago and loved it! Came to a closer location from…read moreUCI before work. We have returned twice! Drinks: Hear me out, stick to their signature curated house lattes which is where they uniquely shine - Blue Hummingbird latte and Spanish Dark latte. The iced Hummingbird latte had blue spirulina and a mellow pandan flavor (kinda marshmallow taste). That's my repeated order until last time I tried the Spanish Dark latte with an added espresso shot. That Spanish latte took the crown, which carried me through whole day plus the cinnamon / vanilla duo was the correct touch of sweetness. I always get almond milk as alternative. These lattes are distinct from other locations focus on their espresso drinks. Food: I order their breakfast burritos which they give you an option of sunny side or scramble eggs. I prefer the classic breakfast burrito (no pork). It can compete with Coffee Dose and Herb & Ranch. Also, I gave soyrizo breakfast burrito a chance but a little too spicy in the morning for my tummy. Classic breakfast burrito to go with a Spanish Dark latte is my new favorite match. Service: I wanted to test the service for my own assessment after reading reviews. Honestly everyone was easygoing and about their work. Drinks and food came out fast which employees even gave utensils with greetings. Also they validated our parking no problem too. Ambiance: It reminds me of a hotel dinner lobby which tracks since it's a corporate Irvine building. I would ideally come here to write for change of location with their abundance seating. Small aside but their glass mason jar for water is cute

A very cute coffee shop located in a big building in Irvine! I was here for a conference, and found…read morethis coffee shop within walking distance from the Hyatt in Irvine. Upon walking up to the doors of the building, there is a kind man opening the door for us. His job is to open the doors and ensure the right patrons go in and out of the building. After walking towards the opposite end will be the entrance of the coffee shop. The cashier is immediately on the left and there are large amounts of sofas to sit on or you can walk towards the back to sit outside in the patio. The coffee shop is facing a large street with a tree and large area of grass. It's very nice and pleasant to sit and people watch. I had ordered a breakfast burrito with their bacon and their signature latte with almond milk. Their burrito was very fresh and hot! There are tater tots inside with delicious cheese. I wasn't a fan of their bacon because it was sweet maple bacon; it clashed with the savory taste of the burrito. Their latte was great! Not super sweet and definitely kept me caffeinated. Super nice coffee shop and I highly recommend it if you are within the area!

I like the matcha latte but it's very sweet so I personally usually add a shot of espresso (though the workers usually say "you know it doenst come with espresso right?) but the bitterness helps cancel out sweetness. For summer time I recommend dragon lychee thingy. Nice to drink before you get to class. Overall pretty chill and the workers are probably the biggest reason I kept coming back (instead of making my own coffee or tea)

The service here is so kind and the staff helped us recommend drinks for our first time there. The cafe itself is small but there is a lot of seating options both inside and outside of it. I ordered the Blueberry Pie Matcha, which seemed to be a seasonal item and it genuinely tasted like a blueberry pie (would recommend for anyone who like really sweet lattes or a "sweet treat" type of drink). My friend ordered their famous "Thank You Berry Matcha" and I got to try it. It was super yummy, sweet but not too sweet and the strawberry matcha flavor was pleasant. The breakfast burrito was also good! I really liked the hot sauce it came with and it was a nice savory bite to pair with our drinks. My only complaint was that the Wi-Fi here wasn't seem to be connecting to any of my devices or my friend's (maybe this was user error on my behalf) but I would advise maybe staying inside the cafe if you want to get working Wi-Fi. Parking is also validated if you park at the parking garage behind Kit for 90 minutes! Overall, I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!

Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place…read more The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way

I loved the large painting on the wall depicting the rugged old west with a cow boy having a cup of coffee by the fire in the mountains. They have Different types of seating arrangements. The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations. I highly recommend Moon Goat Coffee Roasters.

I had a shot of their milkblend espresso over ice and my friend tried the vanilla latte. We were severely disappointed. The espresso was very sour, acidic, and slightly bitter. The vanilla latte tasted like sweet milk. I do not recommend the drinks at all, unless that is your type of flavor profile. The ambiance is very nice, it cultivates a work study vibe, and it seems it's a stop for morning walkers/friends catching up. You can order at a kiosk at the entrance or with the cashier. It is straightforward service, but it took about 20 minutes for our 2 drinks on a Friday morning. There is plenty of parking as its in a shared plaza.
