    Absolutely in my top 5 cafes in OC. Can't say enough good things about this place. The highlight is honestly getting a seat outside under the star jasmine bushes and umbrella, and enjoying a pastry and coffee with loved ones. Highly recommend the honey rosemary latte - can't find it anywhere else and it's delicious for those who love semi-sweet floral leaning lattes. Brownie points for the syrup being made in house (it's a tablestake these days but still appreciate it). Spanish latte is also superb. Pastries are some of the best we've had. I recently ordered the plain croissant and it was by far the best plain croissant I've had in my life. You'll need to come earlier in the day to have options because they sell somewhat quickly. Small nitpick that I've also seen from others is that they really should keep pastries in a case rather than out in the open. The fly fan things don't work that well... Also with the amount of dogs, fur and dander are inevitably airborne. When I was there last a customer's large dog jumped on the counter several times and had his face and paws in the pastries - woops.

    Beautiful cafe with tables outside as well! Parking can be a tad difficult considering it's in the center of Lido Marino Village. Loved the spanish latte!

    I really like this cafe! I wish it had more seating but it seems like part of it was under construction when we went. They have unique flavor options and I would gladly come again!!

    Cappuccino

    I got the cold brew latte with almond milk and I was a fan! It was light and had the perfect ratio of coffee to milk. The cappuccino was good too, but it had an-almost burnt aftertaste. Still, both were good and the art on top was beautiful! The staff was also very kind and welcoming.

    Small coffee shop to enjoy at a table outside if you're walking lido village. The inside is relatively small for seating but there's several tables outside. I got a rosemary iced latte, which tasted great. The syrup was housemade and didn't make the drink too sweet. The staff was friendly, and efficient with making orders. I do not try a pastry but they all looked very fresh and had a good variety of choices.

    Stopped by on a rainy Saturday night, open late for studying or group hangouts. Drink menu is modest - only flavored syrups are vanilla and honey rosemary. I found the coffee to be a bit watery for my taste. Would probably recommend a hot drink over iced as that seems to be their specialty. Only food is pastries, not much left later in the evening. 4 tables with wooden stools inside with additional bench seating (no tables) and outdoor seating. Only saw 1 outlet in this establishment. Restroom available with code. Did not notice free wifi posted for customers. Most of the nearby parking is paid although there is 30 minute parking for free directly across the street for pickups. Service was pleasant. Music an appropriate volume although I found the genre to be interesting for the setting - pop and rap. Okay in a pinch, especially given limited late night options in the area!

    Herst Coffee Roasters is an elegant and minimalist coffee shop with modern and sleek designs both for their interior and menu items. It's one of the first coffee shops you stop by when you enter Lido Marina Village. My family and I love to go on walks around the beach and the Village is our main stop after we're done to refresh ourselves with shopping and some food and drink. I like sitting here to relax and enjoy the decor/ambiance, but everything else about this shop is so MEH. Nothing about the coffee drinks is special nor are the pastries. Also, the service has racist undertones where the cashiers are subliminally more friendly to their white customers... You know what, maybe every time I've come here was not a good day. I personally have found many better coffee shops in the area but the rest of Lido Marina Village is pleasant to visit.

    TLDR: great location & great coffee Very conveniently located in Lido Marina Village. The lines are a bit long at times and it takes a while to get your drink, but they make a great latte - very smooth and not acidic. If you like the coffee, they sell their beans. Looks like they roast in-house as well. Makes a great spot to rest your legs and take a break from shopping. The pistachio croissant was ok - there's no filling and nothing too special about it.

    Cappuccino

    I've had many great cups of coffee and pastries here but hadn't left a review over the years! Location is perfect, coffee is perfect, staff and friendly young folks, vibes are amazing, seating good sometimes can be busy.

    Vanilla latte
    Laura P.

    No disrespect to this business because it could be some people's cup of tea but it was not mine. The lates and cold brew were so unbelievably bitter it was hard to even sip on our drinks. They also don't have menus anywhere besides a small one at the front so you had to rush to order once you got up there. Price was also very high for the quality we got in my opinion. 2 positives- the cashier/barista was so kind and nice and we didn't wait long for the drinks considering it was busy.

    Matcha latte and latte
    Alique K.

    Definitely coming here over and over again! The coffee here is sooo good, no acidity in the espresso and supper nutty. Their lattes are pretty milky so I got an iced cortado with so it's with less milk, I recommend it this way with light vanilla if you like a nice coffee taste! Came here again a second day and got a matcha. It was very milky with whole milk so id probably stick to their coffee drinks!

    HERST COFFEE ROASTERS is located in the Lido Marina Village. So if you come here for the coffee, you'll be glad to hear that the shops are worth a visit. There was no line to order but there was quite a bit of people inside the spacious shop waiting to get their orders. Not because the baristas are slow, but because there seem to be a lot of customers that ordered ahead. And no wonder. Their CORTADO is deliciously strong, but not super bitter and/or sour. Their LATTE is not milky at all. Their CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE is giant and thick and very chocolatey and very pizookie-size worthy. Cute indoor space. Even cuter outdoor seating area. It's difficult to get a vacant table at the front though -- there are lots of people.

    While the aesthetic and location are absolutely beautiful, the coffee itself left a bit to be desired. This is a gorgeous, chic little spot with plenty of outdoor seating (which is exactly where you want to be when hanging out in Lido Marina Village) plus a hidden, cozy little nook in the back that is incredibly charming. It is definitely a highly Instagrammable space, but the actual drinks were just decent and nothing to write home about. On the plus side, my husband absolutely loved his giant chocolate swirl croissant, which was delicious. It's a great place to sit outside and people-watch, but because the coffee didn't particularly stand out, it hasn't become a spot we are rushing back to revisit. Additionally, while the staff wasn't overtly rude, they didn't greet us and let us stand there for quite a while before even checking if we had been helped, so I wouldn't consider them particularly good hosts.

    Another day, another coffee shop…read more Heard great things about MoonGoat so was excited to try today. Saw valet parking and got nervous but the guy just told me where to park. Super easy. When you enter, the location is huge! Tons of tables and seating. Nice! People are working, hanging out, and enjoying their food and drinks. I ordered a churro latte half sweet and a deluxe avocado toast. The latte was delicious. Sweetness level was just right for me. I don't like super sweet drinks. The avocado toast was also great. There was so much flavor from the egg and bacon and seasonings. It was a little hard to eat out of the to go container, but I made it work. It could easily be shared depending how hungry you are. I love that I didn't feel rushed here. It seems they expect people to come and hang out for awhile. Can't wait to return! I'm eyeing the biscuit and a matcha next time.

Inside is a café inspired by natural accents with an industrial flair giving a rustic character with modern style. The vibe inside is chill with plenty of seating for groups or singles. They also have an outdoor area with covered seating surrounded by plants. The menu delivers just as much appeal as the setting. They have an expansive list of coffee, tea, and lattes with several modifiers to choose from. To accompany your drink the menu provides options of sandwiches, bagels, and a variety of pastries. I had the smoked salmon bagel, featuring delicate slices of salmon layered over cream cheese spread, topped with capers and fresh chives. This is my go to for coffee houses that offer it. The bagel exceeded my expectations and I believe the chive's subtle flavor complemented the smoked salmon really well. For drinks we tried the chai and hot chocolate. The iced chai latte was smooth and not too sweet with a dusting of cinnamon on top, but I would rate it average in taste. The hot chocolate was deliciously velvety and detailed beautifully. I would rate it a five out of five! The difference at this coffee shop is that you can choose from a range of seating arrangements and have an opportunity to support the business by picking up clothing, a bag of coffee or other merchandise. The con for this coffee shop is that the beverages are somewhat undersized relative to the price point. In addition, the customer service experience fell short. We were greeted upon entering, but it was unclear where customers should retrieve their order or whether orders numbers were called out. With that said, those looking for a quiet morning coffee or a cozy place to catch up with friends, this spot can accommodate.

It does get pretty crowded so it's better to get an early head start if you can, especially on the weekends. In terms of their drinks, my favorite is the blueberry lavender matcha latte. It's on the sweeter side and has a floral aftertaste, but the flavors mix really well together. I typically get their matcha drinks or teas because I'm not a fan of coffee, but my friends that are coffee fiends are fans of the various coffee drinks here. Compared to other cafes, I feel like the cost of the drinks is standard, but the prepared food and pastries are on the steeper side. Still a great spot, I enjoy coming for the atmosphere and biscuits!

Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind.
