I don't usually write reviews for cafe but I loved the drinks here! First of all it's super cute and while there's only a bit of seating they're all pretty nice spots. I got the Pandan blue milk which was sweet but hit the spot. We also had the drift cream coffee which was strong but also sweet. I do hear good things about the matcha here too!
Cute little coffee shop Small parking lot but there's good amount of spots. There's some seating but more of a grab and go. There were 2 girly pops working that were super sweet and got our drinks out fast. Always on the hunt for delicious banana coffee and this one was a HIT they used REAL BANANAS lots of fun signature drinks.
First time at Daydrift after seeing it all over social media! The staff were friendly and service was quick. Tried the pink guava strawberry matcha and it was yummy and not too sweet! Milky and creamy, blended nicely with the fruit purée. Also tried the coconut pandan mizu matcha, which was not what I was expecting! It is made with coconut water base so not milky, and very grassy taste actually which I didn't prefer but my boyfriend enjoyed it! It was refreshing on a hot day and tasted like a healthy green juice which is nice also lol. Would come back to try other items! The store was nicely decorated with a lot of Knick knacks and people were sitting around enjoying the cool AC and comfortable seating.
Yet another beautiful coffee shop in Costa Mesa! Located in The CAMP, Daydrift is a super aesthetic spot serving up gorgeous matcha and coffee. Seriously, every drink is so meticulously prepared with the cutest toppings! We got their Strawberry Yuzu Matcha Latte and Drift Cream Coffee. I haven't seen the strawberry and yuzu combo often. It was really bright and paired well with the solid matcha! Their Drift Cream Coffee was creamy, not-too-sweet, and hit all the right notes. Love!
Daydrift is hype appropriate!! Unfortunately the matcha isn't super rich in some drinks, but the wide variety of flavor combinations and cream tops available make their drinks SO delicious! My personal favorites of our drinks in order were: banana pudding, pandan and then strawberry yuzu. Each were yummy in their own ways but there is a reason that the banana pudding matcha is their best seller (and I don't even like banana). Just heads up that the fruitier flavors may overpower the matcha. The edible flowers are the cutest touch here! 4.5 stars rounded up to a 5.
I saw so many artsy beautiful photos of the matchas here and book-marked it for a while, and finally made it last month to check it out myself. They replaced Honey&Milk that was here in the past. Didn't do much to interior change but the drinks are pleasing on the eyes. I feel like the owner of this place but love art and was able to open a matcha shop with such beautiful creation for their drinks. I do appreciate the work and effort that was put into making it drinks. Thanks to that, lines are pretty long during peak hours.. My friend and I stopped by on an early Sunday morning before the rush, and there was no line. I got the Hojicha Matcha and my friend got the pandan matcha. Both were very instagram-worthy. Very pretty. Taste wise, it was good. Since matcha cream-top becomes such a thing now in the recent years, most places offer cream top (I mean, even Starbucks has it on their regular menu now, talk about the influence), and I've had soooo many different coffee and matcha with different cream top that, to sum it up, there's only 3 level. Good, average, and bad. If places use good ceremonial grade matcha, and use the right ratio of milk/water/to matcha, the matcha can be pretty consistent, no matter what kind of ceremonial grade "brand" it is. Because if they get it from Japan at the Matcha capital (Uji), there are different names but basically they harvest and process the powder very consistent to the method. Anyway, in short, the matcha latter part here with oatmilk was good. it was between average to good. What sets most places apart now is also the cream top. The cream-top here is also good. So, that makes this place overall, Good. So, def rec. Though, I gotta stop trying all these matcha with cream-top places now because even if non-dairy cream foam top, you know how much calories are in them????? It's crazy!
Love the options here, especially with matcha! I got the banana coffee matcha creamtop. The coffee is good, and the matcha creamtop is great! They also have a lot of drinks with pandan, which is unique. There's some seating but not much. Drinks are on the expensive side, but that is to be expected for anywhere in The Camp. They replaced Milk & Honey, who previously used to be here.
I got the Banana Pudding Matcha, and it was really good! I was a little skeptical at first because I wasn't sure how banana pudding in a matcha would taste. They actually put real banana pudding in the drink, and I was pleasantly surprised, It was really good. It's definitely on the sweeter side, so don't count the calories with this one, just enjoy it. It was also under $8. The drink came with a yummy cookie as decoration. The service was great. The lady at the register was very nice and helpful. Since it was my first time here, I asked for a recommendation, and she suggested the Banana Pudding Matcha, saying it was one of their most popular drinks. I'm glad I took her advice. The coffee shop itself is very small it's more of a grab-and-go spot. There are only a couple of tables available (like 4 if I don't recall wrong) so I wouldn't count on finding seating. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the restrooms were pretty dirty when I visited. They definitely need to be cleaned more often. Maybe I just happened to go in at a bad time, but it did affect my overall experience.
4/5 Cute little cafe with a cozy vibe, but definitely keep in mind that parking is super limited and the space itself is very small. There is some seating available, but it's better suited for small groups of 2-3 people rather than studying or hanging out for long periods of time. I got the pandan matcha and really enjoyed it. The texture was smooth and not grainy at all, and the sweetness level was balanced perfectly. Neither the pandan nor the matcha overpowered each other, which I appreciated. I personally would've liked the matcha flavor to be a little stronger, but you could still definitely taste it. Overall, a really solid drink and I'd come back to try more from their menu.
There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors for cute photos. There's also plenty of parking around the area since it's right next to The Camps. I'm ngl, the drinks look better than they taste. It was pretty overhyped on social media so I'm a tad disappointed. Both the drinks tasted watered down.($7.50 each). The service was ok. This place isn't bad but are there better options for the same price? Yes. The store is aesthetic though :)
I don't know if I got the wrong drink (I couldn't have, because the girl at the register recommended it as their most popular drink)... This new place blew up on social media, so I had to give it a try. It's located in the CAMP/LAB Anti-Mall, so parking is scarce. The drinks look beautiful, I can't lie. However, when I ordered the Banana Matcha, I didn't expect half the cup to be chunky banana pudding. It's too texturally different for it to be a cohesive drink, in my opinion. The matcha itself was decent though.
Unfortunately, while the service was nice and there was almost no wait, my mugwort latte was made with whole milk instead of the oat milk I substituted for. I had told the cashier that I'm lactose intolerant but I'm assuming someone slipped the oat milk note on the cup. Definitely ruined my evening and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone sensitive to cheap whole milk. I can usually handle whole milk from Strauss and Alexandre but this was generic gallon whole milk. I also found the matcha and mugwort to be on the weaker side and this is definitely more of a dessert store than a serious matcha store like Chafinity. Drink at your own risk. Parking at the CAMP is horrific as usual.
I really enjoy their cream tops and that's coming from someone who's usually not a fan of them. My main qualm with cream tops is they are typically too creamy and sweet and overpoweringly vanilla-y. I like daydrifts' because the unique asian insoired flavors still come through but are still refreshing and not overly sweet. My favorite so far has been the mugwort but the hojicha matcha is a close second. I'd recommend taking a light sip of the cream top and then mixing the whole drink together. read more
Wow I actually enjoyed this place! Yelp had an event at The Camp for Yoga and afterwards I wanted to find a spot for some tasty matcha! I was torn between and Chafinity but decided to go with trendy and aesthetics. Glad I did. I totally enjoyed it! They had some great selections for matcha and coffee. I asked what they recommend and I wanted something sweeter so I went with the Banana Matcha. It was sweet and had the perfect caramelized banana and so cutely garnished! They had some seating indoors and outdoor seating but they were all full by 1030am on a Friday! Kinda crazy but at least The Camp has lots of nooks with seating. Enjoyed the matcha! Definitely will come back if I'm in the area to try other items! They also had this delicious looking cookie! I was so tempted! read more

I was at the camp for a yelp event and stopped by for a matcha! I've been curious in trying this cafe because the color of the matcha also had me hesitant. Matcha: 4/5 I ordered an iced matcha latte with vanilla sweetener and the salted vanilla cream top. To start, hats off to the beautiful presentation! For sure picture ready! The drink itself was sweetened nicely, the cream top was smooth, but I do wish I'd get more matcha flavor coming through. Atmosphere: 3/5 The interior has very cute decorations but the space was very limited. I felt crammed trying to look at the menu since there was five feet between the front door and ordering counter. There was also limited space to wait for my drink. Service: 3/5 I staff was not welcoming. The barista seemed stressed and the work station was a mess with milk bottles and matcha splatters everywhere. Both employees seemed like they did not want to be there. read more

When taste meets aesthetic. I ordered the mugwort matcha and it was delicious. Not too sweet, the matcha flavor actually came through, and I loved the cute little topping decor. I heard people complain about the parking and can definitely see how it could be an issue, but I came midday on a Monday and somehow scored front row parking with no line. Must've been my lucky day. Evelyn was so sweet and answered all of my questions about the menu. The inside setup felt chill and intentional, and there was also a cozy outdoor patio area that would be perfect for hanging out with friends or getting a little work done. read more
Great new drink spot. I got the hojicha with matcha foam and my sister grabbed the pandan matcha. Both are delicious and we would like to come back and try the other drinks. Small space with cozy seating. We came on a weekday so easy parking and small line. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Cute little matcha corner! Every drink coming out looked super aesthetic, but I had my eyes set on the most unique item: the Mugwort Matcha Duo! It's got this earthy, slightly grainy base topped with a cloud of sweet pandan foam. I really like the flavor of mugwort, even though it overpowers the matcha. Service was quick, but I actually wouldn't mind waiting a little longer if they took that extra time to thoroughly mix and dissolve the matcha powder. I think this would help create a smoother mouthfeel and remove visible matcha clumps. The shop is still pretty new, so there's definitely room for improvement! read more

Mostly just a cute spot with cute seating area. The matcha coconut water drink was okay, just tasted like decent coconut water. And the banana coffee matcha tasted like straight banana puree. You can't expect much from a coffee shop with tons of cold foam drinks though read more
What cute spot that you'll find next to The Camp in Costa Mesa. It's in the small shopping center right on the outside of it but easy enough to walk to first and then stroll around the area! Workers are friendly and made our drinks fast! They are yummy! There's a covered seatinf are right outside. No bathrooms I believe. There's some parking out front but your best bet is to park around The Camp or The LAB and make a day of it!! read more
Daydrift is one of those places I can't believe I didn't notice sooner, especially since it's so close to The Camp. It's tucked away in the corner with a few other food spots, and while parking in the front is a bit limited, there's actually plenty of space in the back which makes it much easier than it looks at first. Inside is a bit on the smaller side, but they do have both indoor and outdoor seating, and honestly the outdoor area was my favorite. It has a more open, relaxed feel that makes it really nice to sit and hang out. The worker was super friendly, which made the experience even better. I got the Mugwort Matcha Duo, and I'll admit the name "mugwort" threw me off at first and caught me by surprise. But it turns out it's paired with pandan cream top and butterfly pea, which made it a lot less intimidating than it sounds. I also got the banana pudding, but forgot to take a picture of it lol. The banana pudding was good, just a bit on the sweeter side for my preference. The drink itself was really well done. The pandan cream top was light and smooth, which let both the matcha and pandan come through without either one overpowering the other. The combination felt balanced and interesting, especially with the butterfly pea adding a subtle twist in flavor and color. It's one of those drinks that feels a bit unique without being too overwhelming. I'd definitely come back again to try their other drinks since the menu looks like it has a lot of creative options worth exploring. read more
I came here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon, and it was super busy! Parking was nearly impossible to find because Daydrift is located in a pretty popular plaza with plenty of other stores, but we managed to make it work. The store itself was small and the line was out the door when we got there. We placed our order and waited outside because they only had a couple tables. There was a little outdoor area connected to it, but there were only 2 tables. It took about ~15 mins for two drinks, but I expected that because of how long the line was. Mugwort matcha (8/10) - Matcha flavor was very strong, but I could still taste the mugwort flavoring. Very yummy and pretty to look at! I would totally get this again. Pandan matcha latte (8.75/10) - My friend got this and loved it. I took a sip and honestly preferred it over my own drink, and I would be down to get this next time. Overall, a cute store with good drinks, but the parking situation was bad and wait can be a little long. read more
Bumped into this place in the LAB plaza since another matcha cafe was closed so we came in to give it a shot :3 **ORDERED Hojicha Matcha $7.50 Creamy hojicha latte with the matcha foam on top certainly hit my caffeine level loved the creaminess of the 2 mixed together Pandan Matcha $7.50 My friend ordered it since she loves Pandan and it did not disappoint! Matcha was creamy and the Pandan coconut flavor was just the right balance **PEOPLE When we came in, they seemed to have a problem displaying the menu on the big display screen so we just pulled it up on yelp ;) cashier was very welcoming and patient with us as we decided between the variety of matcha choices **VIBES The cafe itself was small but they do have outdoor seating area that was enclosed which looked really beautiful. The ambience was the vintage beach drift sort of vibe which gave a sense of calm! Overall: I would for sure come back to try the other matchas as they have so many different kinds! read more

Daydrift is a cutesy little cafe tucked in the corner of a busy plaza. Parking is definitely ridiculous, especially after noon. However, I really enjoy their banana pudding matcha so I don't mind circling around the parking lot a couple times. Every time I've stopped in, the staff is so sweet and generally quick to make their lattes. I can't speak for their other drinks, as I really only come here for the banana pudding matcha since it's one of my favorite dessert lattes right now. The matcha is smooth and honestly gets overshadowed by the housemade banana pudding, but I like that strong banana flavor. Also when the cookie melts in and you taste little cookie chunks... I love it. I recommend giving it a try at least once. Get your banana pudding matcha then stroll through The Camp or hang out at their little outdoor seating area. read more
Arrived here on a Thursday early afternoon. It wasn't busy and so I thought I would get my drink fairly soon. Unfortunately, it took 20 minutes to get one drink. I had to keep checking. They did not announce the order numbers either. Loved the pandan matcha latte. It had a nice earthy taste and the matcha had a bright green color. You can really taste the pandan flavoring too. I probably wouldn't come here again, only because the customer service was okay. And the parking lot is extremely small. read more

Loved the vibe and known for their matcha! They had a ton of matcha flavors for those that are true enthusiasts. I'm more of a coffee fan myself, but all my closest friends are matcha lovers. They offer some coffee options, but I wasn't the biggest fan. This is more of a grab-and-go place due to the small space. Other than that, if you're looking for a great, trendy matcha place then this is it for you! *Also VERYYY limited parking in The Camp, so plan accordingly* read more

The interior is super cute and cozy; their chairs remind me of the beach and the outdoor seating has a nice relaxing vibe. I wish there were more seating options, however, since in the few times I've been it's always crowded and all the tables are taken. Their drinks are really pretty, especially the pandan and strawberry yuzu matcha. Flavor of the yuzu was pretty strong and the matcha was very faint, but the drink was overall light and refreshing. read more
Took 15-20 minutes for the drinks, but the presentation and interior is nice. However, the outdoor seating smelled like pee and there were flies everywhere. Worst part. strawberry yuzu matcha: 7/10 matcha latte: 6/10 (too much milk) read more
This coffee cafe is located in The Camp in Costa Mesa! So depending on when you go, parking can be especially tricky in the evening (during busy hours). The staff was helpful in recommending drinks for me to pick. Ordered the following: - Matcha Latte with vanilla syrup - Pandan Matcha Latte - Banana Pudding Matcha Latte The cafe is cutely designed with lots of greenery! Each of the drinks came out cutely designed and super aesthetic. The drinks leaned a bit on the sweeter side while still highlighting the matcha. read more
Daydrift is a newer matcha spot located at The Camp with some unique Asian-inspired drinks. Parking here can definitely be a challenge, but really depends on the day and time in which you come. Inside, the shop is on the smaller side with a majority of its seating options outside on their patio area. For their menu, they have some unique drink options to choose from. Wifey and I stopped by for our weekend matcha run and opted to try the Pandan Coconut Mizu Matcha and the Mugwort Matcha Duo. Both drinks had interesting flavor profiles with beautiful presentation. All of the staff here are chill and welcoming. We will be back forsure to try some of their other drink options! read more

A cute coffee shop located at the CAMP! I usually opt for this place while I'm in Costa Mesa, mostly because I am obsessed with their drinks. Everything that I've tried here was amazing- drift cream coffee, strawberry matcha, banana pudding matcha, and their pandan matcha. The service is always really nice here- they're very attentive about add ons, milk substitutes, etc. Unfortunately, the space inside is really tight and small, but there is an outdoor patio seating area! The parking here is pretty cramp as well- very hard to find parking on weekends! Nevertheless, I would always come back here when I have the chance. read more
1. The pandan cream top was really delicious! I also really like the banana pudding! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is nicely arranged! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready after 5 mins! 4. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! There are few tables! 5. There are back and front parking lots! Parking can get crowded depending on time and day! Note: There is a bathroom for customers! Photo: Pandan Blue Mylk and Banana Pudding read more

First time here! I tried the pandan matcha and customized it with the pandan butterfly cream on top because I wanted to try the blue-colored foam. I also got the strawberry yuzu matcha latte. The location was a little tricky to find- it's right next to the Chevron gas station. Service was quick and efficient. The space is small but has a nice vibe, with a bit of outdoor seating. I loved both drinks and definitely want to come back to try more! read more
I visited Daydrift Matcha this past Saturday afternoon and tried the Pandan Matcha and the Strawberry Yuzu Matcha. Both drinks looked really pretty, but the taste was a bit underwhelming for me. I think social media set my expectations really high, and I could barely taste the matcha in either drink. The pandan drink leaned on the sweeter side and the pandan flavor was stronger than the matcha. The strawberry yuzu tasted more like yuzu with some tartness from the strawberry, and I was not the biggest fan of the chunky pieces in the drink. They also add an herb garnish on top, which I personally did not enjoy, so next time I would ask for it without that. Parking was also difficult when we came, probably because it was a Saturday afternoon, and that made the visit a little stressful. The shop itself is cute and I like the concept, but I am not sure I would go out of my way to come back. I might give it another try and order something different, but for now I feel like there are better matcha spots around. read more
I came here on a weekend and it was hard to find parking. The line was short to order and the seats were filled. The shop is small inside with a patio seating. I got the strawberry yuzu matcha with oat milk and the hojicha matcha. The matcha flavor was really light and milky. Same for the hojicha drink as well. If you are a fan of strong matcha drinks, I wouldn't recommend this spot. The drinks are in lighter in flavor but they look nice for pictures. read more
