A fun spot with a unique vibe! I am a sucker for drinks with turmeric so that led me in. The drink with turmeric is called the Goldie and it is really good! I also love Mary matcha when I'm feeling like a tea. The light notes of lavender are quite delicious. The customer service is always great! It can get pretty busy but the line moves fast. If you are headed to work, you might want to request a PG cup as some are not the best for all work environments. read more

Prices are sky high for average coffee and they only take credit card which then definitely pressures you to pay a tip. Today I was there at 8:15am. The lady in the car in front of me knew all the employees and was laughing and chatting it up while ordering and also at window while getting the drink. They all knew each other. They talked at least for a good 5-10 minutes at the window while the line backed up to the street. The employee at window was a heavy set black haired lady with long nails. She was laughing and talking, wasting everybody's time in line. The employees friend in the car line should have parked if she wanted to chat with everyone there. I got my drink and was out of the car line in less than a minute. read more

To be honest, when I saw Micro Dose pop up in my Yelp search, my first thought was that they had a bit of an unusual name for a coffee shop. However, after stopping in for a quick afternoon pick me up and reading that this place is part of the Coffee Dose family of shops in OC, not only do I totally get it now, but it also makes perfect sense! Not to mention the fact that a "dose" of the coffee here really did wonders to keep the rest of our day (and night) going! While their driveway may be easy to miss (it's the third one from the corner), and despite how they're essentially a small hut with a drive thru, Micro Dose certainly stands out. Their bright pink color scheme is obviously a big part of it, but their menu is also so unapologetically sassy. On the more basic end, they have your standard array of coffee and tea, as well as "boujee" options, like matcha lattes, vegan caramel lattes, and kombucha, and a terrific selection of toasts, croissants, danishes, and pastries. However, their specialty drinks (and their names) are what make the menu really unique - the Basic Bitch (vanilla latte), The Quickie (frozen vanilla latte that you can make "sticky"), the Thicky Thicc, a healthy root beer, and more. -- NOT YOUR MOTHER'S LATTE - Espresso (or Matcha) with Oat Milk, Housemade Coconut Syrup, and Pistachio Sweet Cream Opted to get this with the espresso for the caffeine kick, but I wonder what this tastes like with the matcha. In any case, I liked it. While it's definitely on the sweet side, I liked how flavorful the coconut syrup was and that the pistachio sweet cream wasn't overwhelming. -- THICKY THICC - Iced Americano with Fresh Housemade Sweet Cream Pivoted to this after we were told that The Quickie mixture was a bit watery at the moment and it wasn't too shabby. Not only did this have a nice hit of caffeine to it, but the sweet cream was really good and not quite as sweet as the pistachio sweet cream. In addition to how small Micro Dose is, their entire lot is pretty modest as well. The drive thru loop accommodates about a half dozen cars (they have a worker outside who takes orders, much like how Chick-fil-A and In-N-Out do it, so I could see the line extending out to the street during peak hours, but the workers seem to get drinks out fairly quickly. Otherwise, they do have a walk-up window that you can order from, as well as some seats/benches, but there are only a few parking spots, so that can be hit or miss unless you park elsewhere and walk over. Between how good the coffee is and how friendly and nice the workers were, Micro Dose is a great spot for a caffeine fix, whether it's to get your day going or to keep it going. If/when I'm back out this way again, I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their other drinks, as well as their some of their pastries, like their Guava Cheese Danish, Churro Donut, and Lemon Loaf! read more

Microdose is pretty much the drive thru version of Coffee Dose, which is one of my all time favorite coffee shops. While the drive thru itself is pretty narrow and can sometimes back up into the street, the drinks make it completely worth it. Everything I have tried has been consistently good and hits the spot every time. The food menu is definitely smaller than their flagship locations, but that is expected for a drive thru focused setup. I usually come here for the convenience and a quick caffeine fix, especially when I am cruising through with my dog Bennie. It is such an easy stop when I want great coffee without having to park or get out of the car. If you already love Coffee Dose and are looking for a quick in and out option with the same quality drinks, Microdose is a solid choice. read more

Love coming to micro dose on my way to the beach! It's so great they have a drive through so I can't quickly get a matcha and don't have to get out of the car. I am a huge fan of their matcha and the different syrups! It's the cutest little pink coffee shop. I got a vanilla matcha with cold foam and it was delicious! read more

A mini drive thru but also walk-up coffee place. They have a small menu but they do it right. In my opinion, similar concept to in-n-out. I got the Mary matcha and it was EXCELLENT. I strongly feel as though the color of your matcha says it all - the matcha here looks and tastes the part. I love lavender in my matcha and as a result, micro does has gained me as a returning costumer. The line to order through the drive thru is no joke but the wait and traffic is worth it :) read more

I miss the Stanton location because that was the closest one to me, but I love their coffee so much, I'm willing to drive further just to have it!! I've never been to this location and it was just a happy coincidence I saw it on the way to breakfast... talk about meant to be. Lol. I specifically didn't order a drink because I knew I was going to stop here. I had to!!! I wanted a drink that was for sure going to be delicious and it certainly delivered!!!! The coffee is still consistently yummy and I will always make an excuse to get Coffee Dose!!! : ) read more

YUM YUM YUM!!! I got an iced vanilla late with almond milk and it was $7. It's sweet but not too sweet and has a perfectly creamy and smooth texture. There is a quick drive thru or you can walk up to the window. The girl at the window was so sweet and made my drink in probably 3 minutes. The shop is a cute pink and the cups have little art and fun designs on them. I love this place and will definitely be back!! read more

What an absolutely precious little coffee shop. It is so tiny. If it could say words it would say "I'm baby". Everything is pink, even the cones they put out when they are closed. Tall cacti grow around the tiny baby building. I tried to go there once after work but they were already closed for the day which was how I learned about the pink cones. But then I got lucky later that week and was able to go BEFORE work when they were still open. The girl taking orders in the drive thru was so sweet and when I said I wanted a matcha with oatmilk she said they had a banana matcha?? and a blueberry??? I went with the blueberry matcha with oatmilk and it was so good bro. Trust me bro. I will be back soon to try the other one I bet the banana matcha goes awffff. read more

We saw this spot while driving into our lunch venue and were intrigued as there was a drive thru line seeping out into the street. After we finished lunch we dropped in and ordered a "quickie" Oooh, this "Quickie" was good and well worth the wait. It was sweet, but not too sweet. It was a nice coffee slush-like drink . Would come back!! Actually, I'm wanting a "Quickie" now! Lol! Ambiance- no frills, straight to the point- order and go! read more

Located right across from triangle square in Costa Mesa off of the 55 freeway. You really can't miss it as they have a huge light up Microdose sign and the building is bright pink. Only ding is the parking lot is not the largest with only two parking spaces and leaves the rest for drive through which maybe 9 cars at most can fit through so peak hours it can be ROUGH to get in! Otherwise this Microdose mostly caters as a drive through hence the micro name but apart of the coffee dose fam. The drinks are pretty solid but can be pretty sweet. My second time here was much better as I really enjoyed the basic bitch latte($6.50). The bagels are also delicious here and recommend the OG OC ($8.50) as the avocado mash, Lemmon pepper and cream cheese were delicious! Overall, a cute spot when you need a quick caffeine pick me up in Costa Mesa! read more

Such a cute girly little spot! I'm always down for some micro dose specially when I'm going to pass right by to get on the 55! I always get a Basic B*tch Vanilla Latte if I'm being honest but there's always really good seasonal drinks! If it gets past 9am the line is always super long but they're pretty quick, even if the barrista is super busy and doesn't acknowledge you, the person taking your order in line makes up for it, every time I go it's always a girl who's super sweet! read more

I have been to the other Micro Dose's and Coffee Dose's and this one was probably my least favorite. The staff were friendly and the drink was good but the location and layout is really rough. It's a drive thru off of a crazy busy highway with a few parking spots for the walk up. Ordering took a long time and getting in/out was just not good. Good coffee but bad location. read more

My friend had me try The Quickie a few weeks back and now I get it every time I'm in the area. Get a dash of cinnamon in it! Soooo good! I do recommend not getting this right when they open. It takes about an hour for the drink to be the frosty consistency so at 6am it's pretty much just an iced coffee lol Food wise, not a huge fan of The Popper. I think the capers were a bit much for me but we (my son and I) enjoy the cinnamon pull apart and banana bread. Their service is super friendly. It's a drive thru spot and although their lines may be long, I've found it to go pretty quick. They do have the order window but there's only about 2 spots to part your car. read more

Stopped by after getting a super disappointing matcha from another spot, and this definitely made up for it a bit. The place is sooo cute--bright pink building, fun branding, everything about it just makes you wanna take pics. I got the iced matcha with oat + vanilla sweet cream and it was a 7/10 for me. My friend got it with whole milk and gave it a 7.8/10--she said it was solid, not her fave, but dependable. She did say she wished it was a little more earthy, but if you're not into earthy matcha you'd probably like it just the way it is. The drive-thru girl was really nice. I tried to get a chocolate chip cookie but they were out, so I grabbed a sugar cookie instead--didn't realize 'til we got to the window that it said "anti bitch" on it which had us laughing. Cookie itself was meh but A+ for marketing. Would def come back to try more drinks. Solid spot overall. read more

We stopped at this cute pink coffee shop, Micro Dose, on our way home from a weekend in Newport Beach. We had seen it on our drive in and decided to finally check out the fuss. I ordered just a plain black coffee, and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. It wasn't hot, and anyone who drinks black coffee knows that first sip can make or break it. I really needed a solid cup, and this one just didn't deliver. On the brighter side, my friend ordered the Goldie--and that was delicious! Not too sweet, perfectly balanced, and definitely worth trying. We also shared a plain bagel with cream cheese, which was simple but tasty. Service was great--the young lady who took our order was super attentive and helpful in guiding us through the menu. Overall, it was nice trying this place, even if the coffee itself fell short for me. read more

This place is the cutest coffee drive thru. My friend and I stopped by after having brunch at Newport. It's conveniently located right before the freeway entrance, so it's a perfect "pick up and go" spot. Although it's a drive thru, you can park and walk up to the window to order, if you can find parking in the limited space they have. There are no seats, except 2 small benches in the front. Got the Basic Bitch, and though it was good, it's not as memorable as other coffees I had. But the pink vibe is definitely hard to forget, so I will be coming back to try the other drinks. read more

Great coffee but not worth a traffic citation... TERRIBLE DRIVE THRU AND SET UP. I've visited this location multiple times and frequently observed the line extending into the street. During my most recent visit, while waiting in line, I was pulled over and issued a citation for "impeding traffic." While the citation is understandable, the location is setting people up for failure, disaster and has become a safety issue. Just a warning to others who wait in line for coffee and unintentionally "impede traffic". read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in Orange County. The first time I went to this girlie pop drive thru, chappel roan was playing outside, the girls taking orders all looked so cute and are so sweet. I almost always order the Thicky Thicc, and it is truly perfect. It has creamy sweetness but the coffee flavor doesn't get lost. It tastes real. Not to mention the adorable aesthetic of the tiny pink building and cute cups! Perfect stop on the way to a girls day. I just love it! I'll be back soon! read more

Micro Dose has high quality drinks and food. You can tell they care a lot about the ingredients and preparation and even though you're paying for the high quality, it is worth it 100%. I ordered a hot matcha latte and avocado toast. The matcha latte was actually dark green versus other places that is a faint tint of green so you can actually taste the matcha. The drink comes unsweetened which I actually prefer. The avocado toast here is also legit. The bread that they use is delicious and the spread on top is a real avocado concoction as opposed to other places that smear some guacamole mix on top. The coffee shop booth sits right before you get onto the 55 freeway and has a small turnaround so it's a bit inconvenient. That said, I'd rather deal with slight inconvenience than go to a coffee shop that serves subpar coffee and food. This place aligns with the mothership coffee shop which is amazing because it does not dip in quality. I definitely think this is one of the top notch coffee shops in the area. read more

Are you freaking kidding me?! UM YEAH. My husband and I live literally right behind this place and somehow I found myself here for the first time after a year of being neighbors with them LOL. I always see the lovely staff parking on our street and walking over to work and whenever I'm out in the backyard, I secretly jam out to their music since we can hear it over the fence! :) BEST MATCHA I've had in Costa Mesa! My husband ordered it with double matcha. I didn't think I'd want anything - that was wild of me because now I find myself having to restrain from drinking all his. The girl that took our order was so sweet. She had convo with us and at the same time made sure she continued to other customers behind us and attended to them - having been a barista for a long time, I understand how being genuine with each customer during a rush can be difficult, but she nailed it. Will be back!!! read more

This place is such a vibe - from the bottom to the top! We always pass this place on our way home from the beach and finally decided to stop in. I ordered their Mary matcha & Basic Bitch. Matcha had a lavender flavor, which I honestly didn't care too much about so next time I'll have to ask for it without it & the basic bitch was exactly that - your basic vanilla latte but boyyyy was it good. Exactly what we needed for our long drive home & look forward to coming back soon! read more

My friends and I absolutely loved Micro Dose. First, because of the aesthetic! We saw it on Yelp and loved the pink building and fun drink names, we had to try it. Second, the specialty drinks of course! I ordered the Mary Matcha and my friends got the Basic Bitch and Thicky Thicc. It was so good! The matcha and lavender syrup really came through in my drink which I really enjoyed. This location had a drive-thru however you can go up to order. The staff was also really nice! We all really enjoyed our drinks we even went to a different location to try other specialty drinks on the menu but the line was long so we turned around and left haha. Highly recommend giving Micro Dose a try, it's definitely a vibe! read more

Easily one of my favorite coffee shops in OC. Well-made drinks with a nice variety (especially with their seasonal drinks), cute decor, with cheeky marketing make Micro Dose/Coffee Dose a recommendation for me to people visiting from out of town. Admittedly, service can be a hit or miss. Some of the baristas I've met have been kind, upbeat, and offer great recommendations. Other times, I've had the misfortune of speaking with someone with a not so pleasant attitude. Their sticks can be funny The long drive-thru lines can be deceiving, in my experience it generally goes by pretty quickly. I especially enjoy Micro Dose's seasonal drinks. Right now my go-to order is the bananarama matcha latte with oat milk and half sweet. During the summer they have an orange creamsicle flavor that is delightful. read more

Sometimes a name will catch your eye and that's what happened here. We were heading to the beach and I saw the cute little coffee shop and we pondered the name....are the coffees enhanced? Not sure but we are going to stop on our way home from the beach and find out. On our way home we stopped but missed the parking lot and turned into the next one where we weren't supposed to park but we are kind of rebels so we parked there. I stayed in the car with my grandson while my husband and daughter walked over to get us some coffees. I'm still not sure if the coffees are enhanced what we got wasn't I looked on line to pick my drink and even the names of their drinks are catchy. Everything was so smooth and delicious! The only thing that wasn't great was the lemon loaf, it was super dense and heavy. So when we go back we will skip that but definitely enjoy more coffee! read more

Their seasonal drinks are so much fun also, and the names are definitely spicy! read more
