I popped into this coffee shop for the first time on a weekday and was not disappointed. I was a little confused at first because it's located in a business park /warehouse-type of area so the signage in the front definitely helps. There is plenty of parking and lots of space inside. The interior is bright and spacious with lots of tables for socializing and working. I ordered an iced latte which I thought was pretty tasty and a pancake muffin that was okay. The pancake muffin felt doughy and underbaked to me, however, I think it's suppose to feel that way texturally. It was okay taste-wise. My partner ordered a breakfast burrito which he thought was okay as well. The burrito by itself was meh, but the sauces that come with it helped elevate the flavors. read more

Super ideal cafe for working! They have free WiFi and a large co-working space with plenty of outlets and seating. There are even private rooms but I didn't look too closely, so I'm not sure if they're for rent or on a first come first serve basis. Lots of parking spots are available directly in front of the store front and around back. Their spinach cheese croissant is really good and a large portion. There's A LOT of filling in the middle and on top of the croissant. The chai is average, you can't taste any of the spices. read more

Tried this place after a workout at Burn Bootcamp and I'm glad I did! This coffee spot is just around the corner from the fitness studio and is a huge space! Plenty of parking as well! The line moves fast and the staff was very friendly and happy to answer a questions you have about the menu. We got the overnight oats, breakfast burrito and iced Vietnamese coffee. After a workout I devoured the burrito and it paired very well with the iced coffee. The overnight oats were very tasty as well! Would for sure come back here for some good food and coffee after a workout! read more

Came in for the first time around Noon on Sunday 7/5/26 thanks to Yelp who guided me here for coffee. L&L is located in a huge industrial complex with tons of parking (not sure how it is during weekdays though when the other businesses are open). The coffee shop is HUGE with plenty of seating and from the looks of it- lots of regulars hanging out and enjoying their sip. Walk in and fall in line to select your coffee of choice. You can scan their QR code of items - just wish prices were posted too. L&L roasts their beans and after just one sip, you can taste the difference! I had a vanilla latte while hubby had their toffee latte. As it turns out they make their own toffee syrup which is amazing!!! They also have a great selection of foods- burritos, avo toast, quiche, a variety of bagels and a nice assortment of scones, muffins and croissants. We shared a chorizo burrito filled with potato, egg, cheese, chorizo then toasted. It came with 2 different sauces - and cool and creamy cilantro and a smokey mocajete. This too was delicious and we were so glad to have ordered this. Staff were super friendly, welcoming and very helpful. All good vibes here! Look forward to returning!!! read more

It's off the beaten path and an unusual location for a coffeehouse, but once we stepped inside we understood. I should have clued in by the name of the business when searching on Yelp. This is a business or ministry that a church owns and operates and while its congregation are a big section of the patrons, it's also open to the public. Their coffee menu has nice options and they have many of the same types of baked goods that other coffee shops offer; croissants, scones, cookies, pop tarts, etc. They offer a breakfast burrito that is on the greasy side, however, the flavors in it are okay. And the ubiquitous avocado toast is also available on the menu. The staff were friendly and kind. It's an odd atmosphere if you're not expecting to walk into what feels like an after church service fellowship among the congregation. Plenty of parking. read more

Lion and Lamb Coffee Roasters - Many people waiting on their orders. Many people lined up to get in and order. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

So disappointed with my $10 coffee. As a Costa Mesa native, I had pretty high expectations, but unfortunately, Lion & Lamb completely missed the mark for me. I honestly don't understand where the 4-5 star reviews are coming from when there are so many better coffee shops in the area. For starters, the coffee tasted burnt, the cold foam was watery, and the drink itself was gross. On top of that, the cashier was pretty rude when I asked for a higher coffee-to-milk ratio. She looked at me like I was asking for something completely out of the ordinary, lol. If you work at a coffee shop, customizations are pretty normal some people prefer less milk, less sugar, etc. For the price, I expected much better quality read more

What is not to love about this spot? Easy and free parking for as long as you need it? Sign me up! Extensive drinks menu. I love love love their matcha and actually get my at-home espresso beans here. They are perfectly roasted and the espresso comes out smooth. I also have had their avocado toast. It is so good but I never finish it haha because it is big. Totally worth to try. They have large tables which are perfect to host coworking sessions or just to come and work. I think I've only had like a small instance where the internet got a little slow but other than that this is a pleasant spot to visit. You can also rent a study/conference room from the church. I sent a message before because I needed a spot to do my final oral exam virtually. There is a small fee but unfortunately no one got back to me. There is a QR code that takes you to a site where you fill out a form to request the space. Now, these requests are handled specifically by the church not the coffee spot. Although it is in the same area. The staff is super friendly. The restrooms are always clean. Handicap friendly. Not necessarily kid friendly because a lot of people come here to study and work, and its also all concrete and hazards for the small ones, but I have seen people do like babies on strollers type of gathering. read more

Although I can't speak for the coffee or food items, I would avoid their matcha drink options. I know matcha is a very popular drink right now, and many places have added it to their menu; however, just because it's popular does not mean it needs to be on the menu. Too many places are making matcha without really knowing how to make it right. Unfortunately, that was my experience here-- the matcha here tastes like straight up milk with hardly a hint of matcha, and it was overpriced to make it worse. As far as the shop itself, there's lots of sitting space, but I'd recommend adding more outlets for charging devices! read more

Went here for the first time last week and it was really great! Lot's of parking spaces and seating inside for study/working, and the music isn't too loud. The coffee was really yummy (Vietnamese iced coffee) and the breakfast burrito was fire I already want to come back for it. No notes, really good coffee and vibes overall! read more

We stopped by on a Sunday at 11 -- it was very busy, as it's also connected to a church. The line went by fairly quickly with very friendly staff. For our drinks, we got two signature drinks: *lucky matcha* and *cookie butter latte* They're both on the sweeter side but still good. They live up to the name and description. You're able to taste the marshmallow in the matcha and the biscoff and cinnamon on the latte. For food, we got *avocado toast* The bread was very fresh, thick and moist. My favorite part was the pickled onions. I'd definitely get it again. And the *breakfast burrito* is okay. Nothing outstanding - they did tell us they get them made a day before and they warm up upon order. read more

Fantastic coffee. I tried the toffee latte and the chocolate chip cookie. The coffee shop is huge and a lot of sitting. It wasn't busy but I'm sure it does. There was no food menu so I didn't know they served food??? The cookie tasted old and not fresh at all. I gave it 5 stars because the coffee was outstanding. Love it!!! read more

Really big space that's connected to the church. If you're looking for somewhere to do work - this is it! Plenty of seating with plugs and plenty of meeting rooms. It's really spacious and plenty of matcha options. read more

Decent case of pastries. Interior and spaciousness reminds me of The Lost Bean in Orange without the 2 story. Lots of good space for studying/working - just keep in mind not all tables are near an outlet. Spinach Cheese Croissant $6: good hefty filling and full-sized, moon-shaped croissant with nice crust. is heavy though but would be something I would buy again I've also tried their seasonal winter menu for the Banana Latte and that is sweet but addictingly good. Blueberry matcha has amazing color and is good (similar to cafes like Haru in my opinion). read more

Discovered this coffee shop from Yelp and so glad I did. Their Salted Toffee Iced Latte has me on a chokehold. It's so good!!! I literally schedule my Pilates or Lagree class in that area just so I can go there afterwards for a post treat. I tried their chia pudding, banana bread and their Rico veggie burrito. All were so good. Last but not least, the staff at both locations are simply the best human beings. They are always friendly and kind. I see why this place always has a line. Good coffee and great service. *The pictures are all the times I have gone to this coffee shop since discovering it over a weeks span* read more

Came here for a morning meeting. Ordered a large hot chai tea latte. Perfect Chai flavoring with a hint of sweetness. Plenty of seating and tables. Relaxing atmosphere. Friendly service as well. Parking wise, there are limited spaces in front of the shop, so one would have to park in the back of the building. Additionally, the shop is a bit hidden, and I had to drive around the building twice to find the shop (on a corner, on the left side of the driveway into the parking lot). Worth coming back when I'm in town again. Come and support our local small businesses. read more

Google Maps took me on a journey to find this place lol. QR code menu is located on a stand which I didn't see but I've already browsed through the yelp reviews and knew what to order. Salted toffee latte - first sip reminded me of the werther's caramel candy. There's a hint of butterscotch so you're still tasting coffee. It was a bit too sweet for me at first but the ice helps to dilute it. My only comment that there was no pricing in their menu. read more

Such a chill spot to study and work! They have a good amount of space and even some private meeting rooms. I got the snickerdoodle from their winter menu, I thought it was a little sweet for my liking but it was still good with the foam.

Lion & Lamb Coffee Roasters in Costa Mesa just set the bar for avocado toast. This was hands down the best avocado toast I've ever had. The avocado mash was fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor! not bland, not watery, and clearly made with care. The sourdough toast was perfectly done: toasted enough to give a satisfying crunch, but not too hard, and it held up beautifully without getting mushy from the avocado. That balance is hard to get right, and they absolutely nailed it. The red pepper flakes were a great touch too, adding just the right amount of heat without overpowering anything. I stopped in post-gym, and it honestly couldn't have been a better choice nutritionally which is a plus! healthy fats from the avocado, protein from the egg, and quality carbs from the sourdough. It was filling, energizing, and felt clean without being heavy. I also ordered a hot matcha (large) with vanilla, and it was excellent! smooth, comforting, and not overly sweet. You can tell the same attention to detail goes into their drinks as their food. Beyond the food and drinks, Lion & Lamb is an ideal WFH spot. Plenty of outlets, lots of space to spread out, free Wi-Fi, and enough foot traffic to keep the energy up without it being loud or crowded. It feels like one of those places where enough people know about it, but not too many people know about it which to me is the perfect balance. Parking was easy too, which is a huge plus. Even without all of that, the avocado toast alone is worth coming back for. I'll absolutely be a regular here. read more

Needed a pick me up and found this gem! It's pretty hidden so used my Navi for guidance as it's not exactly in a place easy to spot. Walking in is much bigger than I had expected and very welcoming! There was a decent line but it goes pretty quick. They have all the typical cafe selections. My daughter got the in house pop tart and said it was the best she ever had. I tried the vanilla latte which was just how I expected it to taste. The girl at the register was very pleasant and kind. It's a great place to meet up with friends at a table and just hang for a bit over a drink. If I find myself close by again I will definitely stop by and try other things. They had a seasonal menu with all kinds of tasty things to try even though I kept it tame. read more

Came for the breakfast burrito. Service was fast and the part church/part coffee shop ambiance was clean and welcoming. Burrito was a decent size with crispy bacon. The tatertots were on the older and on the oily side so maybe they need to change out their oil or cook them another way. I enjoyed them also cooking the tortilla to as some crisp to the burrito as well. Will have to try their coffee next time. read more

Lion and Lamb Coffee Roasters (opened in 2020) is a specialty coffee shop located right next to a church and they just opened a 2nd location in Fullerton. [Menu]: The designated parking lot was packed, but I found plenty of street parking spots for free. [Atmosphere]: The coffee shop has tons of seating with great lighting so I can easily see this place as go-to spot to study or work. [Menu]: The top highlighted item is Rico Suave Breakfast Burrito. As for popular drinks, the staff recommended iced salted coffee butter latte and iced cookie butter latte. *** Salted Coffee Butter Latte (small 12 oz, hot, $6.50): I couldn't really taste salted coffee butter flavor, but latte drink itself tasted great with a smooth finish. Rico Suave Breakfast Burrito (tater tots, eggs, cheddar and cotija cheese, bacon - served with a side of cilantro crema and housemade molcajete style salsa - $13): Loved the creamy cilantro crema sauce, but salsa lacked an extra kick. Burrito itself without any sauces tasted pretty bland so I poured all sauces to enhance the overall flavor profile. Portion was also a bit smaller than I had expected. *** Overall s-tier for latte but b-tier for breakfast burrito. Personally I would recommend stick with their lattes and skip breakfast burrito. read more

Been wanting to check this place out for years now and was finally in the area to go. It it tucked in a more secluded area of Costa Mesa though. Parking was great and so spacious inside. Good for studying and catching up with a friend. I ordered a large cookie butter latte and it was so delicious, loved the chunks of cookie butter and drink itself was very smooth. It is on the sweeter side to note. Super glad I got to try this place but not sure if I will be able to make the trek back and especially with so much cafes opening up! read more

Coffee was good, but line was long and parking wasn't too easy. Had an iced vanilla latte so pretty standard, but the coffee tasted really good. Ordered a breakfast burrito that took over 20 minutes to get ready and was tasteless. Had much higher expectations. Tater tots seemed like they were just microwaved and the side salsa was packaged, so not made in house. Ambiance is good and there is some seating and working space in the back. Would be coming back for the coffee or to meet up with someone, but will skip the food all together next time. read more

Matchurro was amazing; I really liked the combo of matcha and cinnamon sugar that made it taste like both breakfast and dessert haha. Salted Toffee and Biscoff were good, but I probably wouldn't get them again. Their brown butter chocolate chip cookie (warmed up) was satisfying with the melty chocolate and chewy texture. I feel like Lion and Lamb consistently churns out tasty stuff on their seasonal menus, which gives me caffeine runs to look forward to at the beginning of a new season! Seems like they provide a nice variety of teas and coffees for such drinks, so there's something for everyone to try. Service is always friendly and fast, but they don't rush you when you're ordering or still browsing. It's getting busier and busier every time I visit, which is good business for them, but the lines are crazy long now. read more

This coffee shop is located at a church but has its own entrance; all are welcome and judging from the crowd, "all" know about this place. It is insanely popular even though it is hidden down a side street. I arrived late morning on a weekday to find a line of 7 people waiting to order and two rooms crammed full of people - at least 40 - chatting over coffees or laptopping. The woman taking orders was very personable and effervescent. I ordered from their special seasonal menu; a "Just Peachy". The description: an iced latte with housemade peach syrup, brown sugar & cinnamon, with a peach cold foam. Looking at their pastry case I chose an almond croissant, which my order-taker claimed was her favorite. Five minutes later my order was ready. I had scouted out a single seat at a communal table while I waited and the others at the table were too busy with their laptops to even notice me as I sat down. The iced latte was both wonderful and disappointing. The cold brew was excellent, bold yet smooth. The cinnamon and brown sugar flavors didn't overpower the coffee which made it a delightful drink. But the peach flavor was nearly non-existent. I could slightly taste it in the foam but not at all in the drink itself. The almond croissant was fresh and pretty darn good. As this place is located near Mitsuwa in Costa Mesa, where I sometimes visit, I may stop in again in the future and get something more traditonal. read more

Love love love!!! Came here with my family on a Saturday morning and we absolutely loved it. I love how unique their lattes are. There were so many good options that we struggled to pick just one! We ended up choosing the Neopolitan latte & Salted toffee latte. The Neopolitan latte tasted like a chocolate covered strawberry. The salted toffee latte tasted like a butterscotch candy. Both were sooo good! There is a lot of parking in the lot. The baristas are friendly too. The line was long but our lattes were made quickly! Can't wait to come back! read more

Oddly inside an industrial park. Surprisingly good lattes. Would come back Kind of a hidden gem. Pastries were good, but I forgot to ask about their source. There seems to be a seasonal lattes menu, and they were pretty good. My wife said the salted toffee butter latte was the best she's ever had. The neopolitan coffee tasted like an affogato with Neopolitan ice cream. Their coffee chef or curator knows how to blends flavors. The lemony cinnamony bun was a little different, and worth trying if you're feeling adventurous. Free parking along the building, but might be hard to find parking during peak hours read more

Stopped into Lion & Lamb Coffee Roasters in Costa Mesa and tried the salted toffee latte -- absolutely delicious. It has that buttery, toffee flavor with just the right amount of salt to keep it from being overly sweet. A team member mentioned to me that the syrup is made in house. Definitely one of the more unique lattes I've had in OC and an easy favorite. The shop itself is really modern and welcoming, with a relaxed vibe and friendly staff. There's plenty of seating as well and free wifi. I'll be back to try more of their other flavors, but the salted toffee latte alone is worth the visit. read more

Score! A coffee shop located just around the corner from Burn Boot Camp, a gym that I'm currently a member of. I was here twice during my trip to California, and both visits were after my workouts at Burn. During my second visit, I learned that they are part of Watermark OC Church, hence the name Lion & Lamb. This is a little hole in the wall place in some office space complex in Costa Mesa surrounded by other businesses and is right next to the airport. Isn't it nice to have a cup of coffee after a church service? On both visits, I ordered their iced salted toffee latte, which is off of their summer menu. My first visit, I got this drink in a small cup, but I ended up enjoying the drink that I ordered this again in a large cup on my second visit. And let me tell you about the pancake scone I had on my second visit. OMG! This was REALLY GOOD! Unfortunately for me, I didn't get a picture of it because it was that good. So if you're looking for a light snack or breakfast item, I highly recommend the pancake scone. My dad also tagged along and got himself a rocky road latte, plus a bacon and cheddar biscuit. They have lots and lots and lots of seating in separate rooms, which is convenient because it can get incredibly busy at times. I saw a few people here with their laptops on them, so this looks like a great place to study or get some work done. If I lived in California, I would absolutely be back here every day after getting my workout in at Burn around the corner! That's how much I really enjoyed this place! read more

Okay so this is my favorite study cafe in oc. The drinks and pastries are amazing, they have wifi, bathrooms, and a pretty large study area connected to the cafe and the church next door. They also have a few outlets around. So for studying, it's amazing! As for the food... Cookie butter latte: I usually stick with a sugar free vanilla latte anywhere I go but I had to try one of their signature drinks and this was an excellent pick. The latte isn't too sweet and the cookie butter pairs beautifully with the espresso. You can taste both the coffee and cookie butter evenly. Only complaint is that there's a lot of ice so my drink was watered down near the end. 8/10 Salted toffee latte: this one is another signature drink but it unfortunately was disappointing. I will preface this by saying that I love sweet coffee and I thought my latte was too bitter. I had to add an extra pump of toffee syrup but you could barely taste the flavor. It wasn't balanced like the cookie butter latte. 2/10 Morning bun: I tried their morning bun with cinnamon and orange zest and this was so tasty! The portion size is massive and the bun was so flaky and buttery with the right amount of citrus flavor. It was too good. 10/10 read more

Located in an industrial area, might be hard to find your first time but it's near a church and you'll see signs for the church first and you'll know you are almost there! Lots of room and tables inside, but it's quite packed on the weekends! They serve food like breakfast burritos, pastries, avocado toast, and tasty fun coffee flavors. They have the everyday coffee drinks like latte, coffee, americano etc, but I really love their seasonal menu items like the white chocolate and raspberry latte, salted housemade toffee latte, and housemade orange and vanilla latte with oak milk called the Orange Dreamsicle. You can get your classic coffee drinks or try something new/fun, they got a drink for everyone! The whole beans are nicely priced at around $16.75 for 10 ounce. read more
