Great atmosphere for studying or getting some work done, with a decent amount of seating available…read more The staff are also incredibly kind! They have lots of creative coffee drinks, and their coffee is on the sweeter side if that's your thing. They also have a great selection of pastries and food if you're planning to stay for a while!

The matcha and pastry came out really quick. There are lots…read moreof tables to study/work, but it's very compact. However, they definitely made great use of the small space. The matcha base: no sweet is actually NOT sweet. So unless you like bitter & more earthier matcha, definitely keep the sugar. But it was good. I like earthy; but for those who don't like that, I definitely recommend getting sweet. Nothing too special about the matcha tho, I've had better. Pastries were good. Liked the spinach!

This is my first time at moon goat Coffee Roasters in Irvine in a commercial complex by UCI. There…read moreis lots of parking out front. It is a Large coffee shop with a warm and cozy interior. 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.

With so many great coffee shops nearby offering better value and a more transparent checkout experience, I can't recommend this place.

The drinks here are solid- I love their banana cream top drinks (or really any of their cream tops)- and the people who work here are great. But the true standout for me is their croissants. I have no idea where they get their croissants from but the Nutella and jalapeño cream cheese croissants are amazing

I work in one of the buildings next to Kit Coffee, so I come here pretty often for my matcha fix…read more Their matcha is always strong, smooth, and delicious--definitely one of my favorites in the area. The service is consistently fast and friendly, which makes it the perfect spot to grab a drink during the workday. My go-to order is the Lavender Fields Matcha or a matcha latte with ube added. The ube adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the matcha. I've also tried their smoked avocado toast, and it's just as good as their drinks. If you're in the area and looking for a quality matcha or a quick breakfast, I highly recommend stopping by!

I visited this specific KIT Coffee location for the first time on a busy Thursday morning. I have…read morebeen to the Newport location many times, so I was excited for a change in scenery and to observe similarities and differences between the two locations. This trip to KIT started a bit chaotically as I did not expect to find this location in the middle of a dense business complex, which made parking a bit difficult (there's a paid parking garage) and added a few minutes to our trip. If you're short on time, plan accordingly. However, once we were in, we were nicely welcomed by 2 employees. This interior is on the smaller end with limited indoor seating, but ample outdoor seating right in front of KIT. An ideal place if you're looking for somewhere to do work outside. We decided to stick to drinks: Iced Triple Double Matcha & (an employee recommended) Salted Caramel Matcha. These drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time and were both very flavorful. It was actually my friend's first time at KIT, and now she's obsessed!

I used to come here all the time and genuinely considered this place the gold standard for matcha…read more That's why today's experience was especially disappointing. I paid $8.75 for an iced matcha latte with oat milk and it tasted straight up like milk. I asked the barista if I could get more matcha, but was told it would have to be remade and would be an additional charge. I didn't have the time to wait for another remake, so I just left with a drink I wasn't happy with. On top of that, the wait was 17 minutes for a drink that ultimately didn't taste good. I haven't been here in a while, so I was really excited to come back, which made the experience even more disappointing. I honestly feel cheated, especially at $8.75. This place used to be my go-to and what I would've recommended for matcha without hesitation. Unfortunately, it's just not what it used to be.

Bag of Cakes is easily one of my favorite spots for matcha. Their Strawberry Matcha is my go-to,…read moreand they always pay close attention to my milk substitution, whether I order it with oat milk or another dairy alternative. The staff is consistently friendly, and the wait is surprisingly quick, even when the line looks long. I first started going to their Fullerton location while I was in college, so I was excited when they opened a location near my family's home in Irvine. Now I can enjoy my favorite Strawberry Matcha whenever I'm craving it, which is definitely a huge plus.

I've lost count how many times I've been to Bag of Cakes in the last month and it's a little…read moreembarrassing to say that it's at least close to 10 times. Safe to say that I'm obsessed but I think that's a testament to how good their matcha and pastries are. Their matcha is my new favorite in OC. I get the matcha latte at 75% sweet which is SO SO GOOD! It's a perfect balance of sweet and still being able to taste the flavor and bitterness of the matcha. I'm surprised more people don't talk about their matcha. Don't get me started on their pastries and desserts... ALSO SO GOOD. They have such a huge variety of pastries, both sweet and savory, that it's hard to choose but that also means there's something for everyone. My favorites are their blueberry brioche, matcha cruffin, and egg bacon bread. The egg bacon bread surprised me since it's made of rice flour and has a chewy/mochi like consistency - it's so unique and you just have to try it. When you enter, you wait in line and let the staff know which pastries you want and they'll grab them for you to put in a box. Once you get to the cashier, you can order your drinks there. If you only want drinks, you can skip the line to order at the kiosk at the front. The staff are all super friendly. Plenty of parking since it's an Irvine plaza and there's about 5 tables inside but outdoor seating is available too.

Wall writer is awesome…read more Definitely get the pandan latte, but ask for it extra sweet because sometimes they don't put enough pandan syrup in it. Friendly staff, quick service, and a great place to work/study. The only downside is that the bathroom situation is a little weird because it is in a corporate park . but honestly, so worth it to go just make sure you park in the one hour parking!!

Food: I ordered their coconut, vanilla matcha, one of their seasonal drinks, and it was really good…read morewith strong coconut flavor if you like that! However, more that the drinks, what makes Wall Writers Coffee special is their beautiful study/work space! Service: The employee taking my order was so nice and had such a nice small talk conversation with the customer in front of me about their tattoos! The drink also came out extremely fast (in less than five minutes)! Ambiance: The study/work area is so nice with so many tables inside and work areas, including swings, outside! There is free Wi-Fi, which they write at the end of their glass serving window. My only feedback would be that it's a little difficult to use the restroom, as you take a key card from the front of the cafe and scan it at another building across to use. Think it could be helpful if they would put out a few more key cards. Otherwise, such a wonderful study/work space, and I will definitely be back for the security that I can find a seat! You can even come a bit later in the morning and find seating, especially outside. Parking is easy, as there are many free, unmarked spots in front of the cafe. Lastly, the cafe is located under the OneDigital building, and you know you're there because there are string lights on top! Please come here for a reliable study/work spot! Also, their hours are from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM everyday, so come early if you can. Hope you try this place out!
