    Banana Bread Latte with oatmilk
    Katie L.

    I have been searching for my favorite banana latte in SoCal and the Banana Bread Latte from Mad Coffee is honestly a top 3!! The cinnamon really gave it the banana bread feel and the latte was so smooth and creamy. The foam on top really brought everything together. Service was quick, I placed an online order that was ready when I arrived. Parking can be a little funky, but there's some 20 min parking right in front of this location if you're just picking up or there is additional parking nearby too :)

    The coffee is great, the locations however is not. The comments about parking is true. The structures are confusing and the little lot behind is a nightmare. This business has the potential of growing and moving out so hopefully they do. However, the coffee and matcha taste amazing! Buttttt, I paid for a large and my cup looks like a small/regular. I'm not sure if that's the actual large cup size but it's small! I posted a picture for reference, but I'm 5 feet tall and have small hands, and the cup is smaller than my hand.

    This place had been on my list for awhile and finally was able to check it out on Saturday morning. I was stuck between the tiramisu and banana latte but I went with the tiramisu coffee. The coffee was good, it had a great flavor but it definitely didn't taste like tiramisu at all. But again it was good. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because I asked for light ice and the cashier asked if I wanted more milk to compensate. I said forget it, regular ice is fine. I didn't want to mess up the flavor of the coffee. Other than that, I would come back to try their other menu items.

    Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops from this month!!! Walked in on a Saturday afternoon & several people were studying/hanging out. We were politely greeted by the host, this shop is combined with a pizza shop that also smells sooo delicious! The coffee was exactly as it was described! We got the tiramisu latte & the carrot cake latte with oat milk. The carrot cake latte was perfection!!! The notes of carrot combined with the vanilla cream cheese cold foam was perfect. The tiramisu was sooo good as well, where my partner literally chugged it all!!! Definitely want to come back and try their pastries, as they were delicious! If you find yourself in this area definitely stop by!!

    Banana bread latte that actually taste like banana bread
    Yosmar J.

    I went in for coffee and ended up getting breakfast too and I may have just found the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered the banana bread latte with almond milk and the Santa Ana breakfast burrito. The coffee was made to perfection, and the banana bread latte actually tasted like banana bread, which was seriously impressive. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Lots of seating btw! Safe to say... I think I just found my new coffee shop

    This place is so so cute! You can park across the street and get validated parking! There's a full dining restaurant and a coffee shop so you can either grab a quick coffee or even have lunch! The coffee is always so good and so affordable! They're super kind if you have any questions and are always willing to modify your drink if you want to make changes to anything on the menu! The place is great for a lunch date or a coffee date!

    Red Velvet Matcha (Seasonal)
    Lauren C.

    Service is phenomenal - everyone was so sweet. Red velvet matcha was very delicious but slightly lacking in red velvet flavor/crumbs. The cafe shares a space with Rafael's kitchen so works out if you want breakfast as well, but the coffee shop side is a bit duller in terms of ambiance whereas the Rafael's kitchen side has a nicer vibe.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I thought I was going to a cute cozy coffee shop but as soon as I went inside I was so confused... The concept of this place is confusing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]... I was standing there no one greeted me no one at the register then on my left I see a pizza place? I guess is a pizza and a coffee shop sharing the same sq ft. I was just waiting there ready to order no one around then I see this guy taking some peoples food order... So anyways I was already there and waited until they were done ordering which is annoying because it took a while. Finally the guys vibe was just weird, not your normal good customer service vibe, not at all, I ordered the banana matcha which was decent but definitely not coming back to this pizza coffee shop.. weird

    matcha latte with coconut milk and honey syrup
    Sarah T.

    I got an iced matcha latte with coconut milk and honey syrup and wow was it good!! If you like a strong matcha this place is for you. The color tells you everything you need to know. Not too milky, not too sweet. All of their syrups are made in house, or you can get it unsweetened if that's what you prefer. They have a good amount of seating too so it makes a perfect place to get work done. The staff is also super sweet as well!

    A little confusing to find but you have to walk straight through a building to get to it from the parking lot. I probably went at an off hour because it was pretty empty. When I walked in nobody acknowledged me lol and an older lady had to get the attention of two girls who were chatting to come take my order. Coffee was good a little on the sweeter side really cute cups. I'd def come back to try other drinks or their specialty drinks!

    banana bread latte
    Tracy N.

    Lots of unique flavored lattes at this coffee shop. It's also connected to a restaurant with food that smelled really good. They validate parking for a couple lots/structures that are nearby. I believe there was also street parking right out front Banana bread latte: 5/5 good amount of banana flavor that wasn't artificial tasting. Definitely a sweet drink though and the coffee flavor wasn't super strong

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

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.

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.

Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

Phil Jaber founded Philz Coffee in 2003 and spent years experimenting with various coffee beans from around the world to create over 30 different unique blends. Each "cup of love" is custom made in front of you and finished off with their signature mint leave. The Philz baristas make sure your drink is to your liking before you pay. One thing that is unique about Phiz is that they don't do lattes or cappuccinos. The Mint Mojito Iced Coffee is their best seller and still my personal favorite.
