The space is small but cozy and cute. They have some books and board games to spend the time here. Small parking lot thats shared with the gas station and other shops. Ordered the hot Orange Bourbon Cardamom latte; wow! Its not for the faint of heart because it does have a very particular taste. The taste of orange peels is strong and makes the coffee mildy bitter but the sweetness and oat milk balance it out perfectly. Its such a unique drink and soooo good!! The syrups are definitely homemade and make the drink so special. Service was quick, several staff members working in the back. Super friendly when they handed me my drink. Will be back! read more

I was in the area for an appointment and I love checking out new coffee shops and Long Black Coffee did not disappoint. There didn't seem to be much parking considering the other shops in the strip mall. However, I got some gas and stayed parked there while I ran in to get coffee. No outdoor seating but a few tables and comfy chairs inside to accommodate. I believe I also saw a few shelves full of board games. The gentleman welcomed me as soon as I walked in which I absolutely love. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided on the iced coconut macadamia latte. It was so delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness, full of flavor, and the coffee wasn't bitter at all. I will definitely return if I'm back in the area. read more

Banana Cloud Latte is where it's at! We live very close by and wanted to take our dog for a walk and instead of going to dreaded Strbx we went went to LBC. It is the shiz!! I got the Banana Cloud iced latte! It was a treat and I highly recommend this. I look forward to trying more! So glad they are here - service was fantastic. Ambiance was mellow. I loved how it wasn't chaotic like some of the other trendy coffee shops - this place is a hidden gem. read more

Long Black Coffee - Banana Cloud! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The staff here is super friendly and very good at their craft. You get the same service as all of their other locations. The new iced espresso orange bourbon cardamom is packed with a light cardamom flavor accompanied by orange bourbon cocktail like flavor. This is one of those sip in a glass cup drinks that you need to sit and enjoy in house. It's just classy and refreshing for summer. 5/5 stars Orange bourbon cardamom lattes is very similar to the iced espresso with not milk added. I prefer the balanced flavors in the iced espresso but if you need a larger version this is it! Summer drinks are on point for April! 4/5 stars Croffle with cream - crispy outside soft inside like a waffle should be. Sweet cream on top is perfectly sweet. It's a good light breakfast. 4/5 stars Jalepeno cheese Croffle with bacon green onion is packed with flavor from the Croffle to the cream topping. Fresh green onions with bacon is great combo. 5/5 stars read more

WOW!!!! I am such a big fan of banana lattes so when I saw that they had a monkey mocha latte (banana and chocolate), I was so excited! The banana flavor is from a housemade banana syrup!!! The monkey mocha (I ordered mine half sweet) was sooooo good. It was a perfect balance of banana and chocolate!!! I will definitely be getting that again next time. I tried some of my friend's pistachio cream latte and that was delicious too! I'm not normally a pistachio inclined person but it was yummy and I could drink the whole thing. I also tried a regular iced latte, and it was pretty good. But next time I go back, I will definitely be getting their monkey mocha again. The space inside is cute. I love that this coffee shop is literally right by the Arco. So random but so fun! read more

Usually go to the Long Black Coffee in the Fountain Valley, but wanted to check out their new location in Costa Mesa. It was in a small area near a gas station. Parking was okay but can be packed if the area becomes busy. The interior was small, cozy, and modern with a few seating (some small tables and a longer one). The staff was friendly and welcoming as I entered. Ordered my go to Ice Pistachio Latte. Which was as good as I recalled from the other location. Can taste a little bit of nuttiness from the drink. read more

Stopped by the Long Black Coffee location in Costa Mesa for the first time after having been to their Fountain Valley shop before. This location was noticeably less crowded, which made it a really pleasant place to grab coffee and relax. I ordered my go-to, the Madagascar vanilla latte served hot, and it was just as great as I remembered from the other location. Smooth, well balanced, and not overly sweet. The staff were very friendly and welcoming on the day I visited, and the interior has a modern, clean design that feels comfortable without being sterile. You wouldn't think that given that it was located in a gas station parking lot with an unassuming entrance. read more

i usually go to their fountain valley location + occasionally to cortado in garden grove, but the drinks are always consistent regardless of the store! my go-to drink is the biscoff cookie butter latte - 5/5 with oat milk! no other places compare to long black for this in my opinion. seating is super limited at this location (maybe 6 seats at a big table with no nearby outlets and then some other seats scattered around). the wifi is pretty good though, so if you're able to snag a seat here, it's a fine place to study! parking was a bit limited (thur afternoon) and is only for 2 hours read more

I love long black! I've been going to the fountain valley location for a while and had no idea this one has been around for a few months now. The coffee is great, the baristas are kind, this location is kind of in an odd spot. Unless you stop to pump gas or know it's there, you'll probably miss it. I typically order their espainner but decided to try the biscoff latte and it was definitely tasty. I haven't tried their food but they have a few treats if you're hungry as well. read more

It took me a couple wrong turns to find Long Black in an unassuming gas station parking lot. Was a little apprehensive at first but was quickly humbled and reminded of the life lesson: don't judge a book by its cover. Was told the iced einspanner ($6.50) is a hit so went with it. Requested a single shot as it was inching close to my 3p coffee cut off time. Also substituted almond milk for whole milk ($1). Gosh I really really loved my drink. Like a lot. The traditional einspanner with espresso, short milk pour, and cream top all in one sip was fantastic. I will absolutely be back for more, perhaps try their FV location. Thanks Long Black for delivering on an exceptional einspanner. You did the opposite of disappoint! read more

Spent a couple of days at SCP recently and found this new coffee shop on Yelp, so we had to stop by. Ordered the following: Einspanner latte: excellent Biscoff cookie butter latte: excellent We were there early in the morning to enjoy our coffees in a quiet store. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town. read more

This location just opened for their soft opening recently so it is pretty bare. We ordered the banana latte (decaf) and the chai tea latte both iced. The banana latte was absolutely perfect but the chai latte was on the spicier side. It seemed like the peppercorn was on the stronger side and I wouldn't reccomend. Be patient with the workers! Seems like they only have one person working at a time right now read more

Super Bomb coffee and trust that I've had coffee everywhere. The team at this location will any barista a run for their money. Fast & Friendly service with a smile. It a very quaint and clean shop where you can pop in and get some office work done at one of the tables or you can get your Joe to go. This is a must try location. I'd love to hear what you think once you've tried this hidden gem. read more

Very solid einspanners! Inside is cute and wasn't crowded. I saw 2 outlets from when I looked around the seating. I liked the einspanner latte more than the tiramisu but the tiramisu latte was pretty similar. The hazelnut cream in both of these drinks was delicious. read more

We ordered an iced latte, a banana cloud drink, and an almond croissant and had a really good experience overall. The iced latte was solid and well-made. The banana cloud drink was the standout with a strong, prominent banana flavor--great if you love banana-forward drinks. The almond croissant was soft with a subtle almond flavor and something I'd definitely order again. Service was good and the ambience was pleasant, though seating is somewhat limited. Overall, a great spot that I'd happily return to. read more

I've been to their FV location and Cortado so when they opened closer to home I was super excited. I've been here multiple times since their opening and so far the matcha, americano (medium), and pistachio latte were all really good. The service can either be really good or a miss. There's plenty of parking and seats inside. read more

My coworkers and I came here every day of the week after we first discovered it. Every coffee latte we had was delicious! Lightly sweet with a nice punch of caffeine. Their coffee is definitely on the lighter side though, so if you're a medium-to-dark roast enjoyer, probably don't opt for their drip or americano. read more

Still in their soft opening. I tried three different drinks, and thoroughly enjoyed one. The biscoff cookie butter latte was as advertised and enjoyable. The banana cloud was sweet and had a nice foam, however the banana flavor had an artificial aftertaste. The third drink was the einspanner, which was decent. I didn't like that cash wasn't accepted, and they were having trouble with their credit card reader. There were a few people studying, so the seating area didn't look inviting for those of us just there for coffee. read more

Everything about it was excellent! Knew what to expect in terms of coffee because I have been to their Fountain Valley location. I really like the vibe, and think they did an amazing job with the interior. Simple yet elegant and calm. Love their classic einspanner, oksusu corn latte of course, but I also tried their coconut macadamia latte this time and that was really good too! Unsure if their melon-flavored latte was a soft launch item that I happened to catch on that visit, but it was super delicious and would definitely order if they have it on their menu! Pour over was great as well!! Served very nicely along with a little biscoff cookie! wish they open another one closer to home! read more

So glad Long Black opened a location closer to Irvine! I've been a huge fan of their Fountain Valley spot, and this Costa Mesa location is just as amazing. They're currently in their soft opening phase, so there's no sign up yet, but everything was wonderful. Staff: Everyone was incredibly friendly! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly. They even offered my family and me complimentary pastries since we were celebrating my mom's birthday, such a thoughtful gesture! Location: Right next to Arco and Pro Nails, with plenty of parking available. Inside: Cozy and clean with great vibes. There are about five small individual tables and one large communal table, perfect for working or catching up with friends. Iced Matcha: Delicious ceremonial-grade matcha. Creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. Comparable to Nook's matcha if you like the richer matcha taste profile. Pastries: Tried the almond croissant and cheese danish, both were fresh and so tasty! Can't wait to come back. This might just become my new go-to coffee spot! read more

This place has become my latest obsession and I've since forced my mom and sister to come with me to share the joy of taking that first sip of the Einspanner.. They're officially hooked like me, and selfishly I don't want to tell any of my friends so I can show up here in pajamas with no makeup and bump into no one I know...whenever I want.. read more

really yummy coffee! it's kinda discreet in a small plaza, but it next door to a laundromat! the staff are really friendly! the interior is kind of small, so not the ideal place to study/work especially during peak hours. parking is available in a decent size lot, not sure how full it gets. highly recommend stopping by to try their biscoff latte! read more

Been a fan of this place since visiting the Fountain Valley location! So happy to see they've opened one a bit closer to me 10/10 would recommend. read more

Don't let the location spook you, it is right next to a gas station, but the cream in the einspanners are really yummy, the matcha is on the sweeter side, compared to the coffee einspanner. Staff were nice too, Cute vibes inside would recommend checking out. read more

Dear Yelp Community, Sunday morning visit. New location for Long Black Coffee. Offers a more refined experience within the gas station commercial center. Good service. Good selection of beverages and pastries. Ambiance is more minimal, so may, or may not, be to your liking. Enjoy, and well wishes. Sincerely, Anna read more

Eispanner iced coffee is ridiculously good. The cream on top is so tasty and the flavor of the coffee is so strong it's almost like a Vietnamese coffee. Perfection! read more

Their cold brew was extremely bitter and had a sour after taste. On the brighter side, the pistachio cold foam was really good. Maybe I just got a bad batch of cold brew, because I immediately thought this can't be right lol. I'll come back to try their espresso. read more

this place has the best lattes out of every cafe i've tried in OC so far. the coffee they use tastes like quality & none of the drinks i've tried so far taste watery or diluted. they must use house made syrups bc nothing tastes artificial or processed. i think subbing for oat milk as often as you can helps! but no fr, ive been four times already & not a single miss!! i honestly feel kind of grateful i found this place bc i love going to cafes & am often disappointed. i now know where to go anytime i want a consistently well made latte. my favs are biscoff and macadamia with pistachio cream! read more
