I got the Jasmine matcha which I personally really liked and understand it may overpower the matcha but I like Jasmine so it's okay. My friend did note that she could barely taste the matcha. However the salt bread was a bit of a disappointment for $4 because it wasn't crunchy and lacked flavor. The vibes here is great, I like studying here (it can get loud sometimes) but good seatings (cushioned, I care about this haha) and super cute/aesthetic. Staffs are welcoming when I went:) I would come again to study and try their coffees next! read more

I've stopped by 3x on the way to work. They have some early bird specials which is nice for early risers. I tried their ube milk coffee, moon latte and einspanner matcha. All the drinks are delicious but my favorite is probably the einspanner matcha (so divine). The ube milk coffee is probably my 2nd favorite. I had the salt bread once and it was fine for a quick bite for breakfast. The storefront is kinda tucked in the back of the plaza, but you can see the signage when you turn into the parking lot from Goldenwest. Ton of parking. The space is clean and modern, quite a few tables. read more

Came here around 4 pm on a Friday, and while there was no line, there was a number of people waiting. It looked like I just caught the end of a rush. Despite the busyness, the cashier was very helpful and asked if I had any questions because it was quite obvious it was my first time there. I ordered a banana ice cream matcha for myself and the jasmine milk matcha for my friend. I'm not exactly a matcha expert, but thought both drinks were good! Even though one had ice cream in it, it wasn't overly sweet. Even the color of both drinks made it more appealing! Did not appear grainy at all. There was also a good amount of space inside. A couple long tables and a number of smaller ones. There was even a long slimmer table attached to the wall. Would come back if I'm in the area with a friend! read more

Moon Cha is Khmer-owned cafe crafting some unique Asian-inspired drinks. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a pretty spacious setup with a plethora of seating options. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different speciality, coffee, matcha, and milk tea drinks to choose from. I got the Honey Lemon Refresher and wifey got the Jasmine Milk Matcha. Both drinks were very refreshing with familiar and comforting flavor profiles. Overall, we are glad we got the chance to check this spot out. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items next time we are in the area! read more

Moon Cha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Place smells lightly like paint due to the location still being newly renovated. I was able to receive a free small matcha drink while visiting during their opening, which I throughly appreciated. Tables were spacious with a few outlets and wifi, making it a good study spot. The interior is very minimalist but there is a lot of open space. Service was friendly and welcoming. Banana Matcha Latte: One thing to note is that you can adjust the amount of sweetness on your own as they provide the condiments on the side. It surprised me that my drink was unsweetened, but the banana complements the matcha. They use real banana and the cream on top was very sweet. I enjoyed the flavor of coconut in my drink as well. I would come back again to study or hang with friends. read more

Moon Cha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Moon Cha is a newer OC cafe that my girlfriend had been recommending to me since their soft launch, and I finally got the chance to try it with her. The owners were really nice and recognized her from their soft launch, which I feel like shows they truly care about the experience they provide, not just with drinks and food, but also hospitality and such. The workers brought out our drinks and food which was very nice of them on top of everything. The cafe itself is very cozy and warm as well which I liked. I got the jasmine milk matcha and my girlfriend got the banana ice cream latte as well as a blueberry muffin. The jasmine milk matcha was a bit more jasmine milk heavy, with the matcha being an after note. The banana ice cream latte was really good, but I think the bananas used for the foam may have been too ripe, which left a bitter aftertaste. However, the drink itself was still really good! The blueberry muffin was delicious, it was heated and so soft and good to have with our drinks. Overall I would definitely recommend Moon Cha. It's one of the few cafes where the people who work truly care and you can taste it in their food and drinks as well as feel it from their presence! read more

Moon Cha - Jasmine Milk Matcha Banana Ice Cream Latte Blueberry Muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I had the opportunity to visit during both the soft opening and official opening. After trying Mooncha, I'm so excited to have a cafe with a great selection of Asian-inspired drinks and snacks nearby and (hopefully) not as many commutes to Garden Grove or Westminster! What I Ordered: - Banana Ice Cream Matcha: This was delicious and well-balanced! The cream foam blended nicely without being too overly sweet or artificial, and it wasn't bland either. I feel like many spots usually fail at getting this balance right, but Mooncha nailed it. - Garlic Bread: The bread was soft and flaky with a thick, sweet and creamy garlic cream cheese spread throughout, all sandwiched between a soft, salted bread roll. As someone who's trying to be more health-conscious, I'd say this is definitely a guilty pleasure snack, but it's well worth the price if you're craving that perfect mix of savory and sweet. Other Details: - Location & Parking: The shop is nestled in a plaza with other establishments like Amazon Fresh and Chick-fil-A, and there's plenty of parking available. - Ambience & Amenities: The ambience is on the minimal side but very spacious and clean, with plenty of seating and free WiFi--which is a huge plus for students looking to study. - Room for Improvement: Extending the hours (they currently only open from 8am-4pm) would make this spot even more student-friendly. In addition, I think the spot could benefit from adding more decorations and ambience to make the shop easier to find! Looking forward to returning in the future and seeing how this small business evolves! read more

I saw their Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie all over my instagram feed. When I finally got to try it, it was totally worth the hype! There's little chewy rice pieces in the drink that made the experience so unique! It really did feel like drinking mango sticky rice. It was perfect sweet and refreshing! Lots of parking in the plaza lot too! Lots of tables inside and some space outside too. Service was quick too! read more

Cute minimalist (or just not fully decorated yet since they just had their grand opening - not sure) tea shop. I LOVE their teas. They gave out little free drinks to celebrate their grand opening and i got to sample some - mango matcha, jasmine matcha, and the jasmine milk tea. I especially liked these because at 100% unaltered sweet... it didn't taste inauthentic or overly sweet. It felt like some places 50%. I felt it light and refreshing .. and sticker on cups absolutely adorable! read more

Such a cute cozy cafe! They recently just opened up so we stopped by for their soft opening :3 the owners were so welcoming and super sweet! This cafe would be a perfect place to study or just to hang out. Lots of seating and space available Their drinks were so yummy! My favorite drink that I tried was the ice cream banana latte, it was creamy and rich. The matcha's were perfectly balanced! The pastries paired really well with the drinks too. Definitely a cafe worth trying and going back to! read more

I found this place on yelp and came to try it. The moon latte was very sweet! I also tried a vanilla latte and it was less sweet, more balanced. I preferred the vanilla latte over the moon one. I wasn't a big fan of the drinks. I'm not sure if they sold out or just have a small selection of the pastries but I didn't get to try any because of how limited options they had. The cafe is very big and since they didn't have any music playing, it almost felt rude to be loud. I would recommend this place to someone who likes to work or study in cafes. It's so calm and quiet that you can hear a pen drop. read more

SO, SOO YUMMY!! I first came here with my boyfriend and ordered a matcha latte, which was really good. The oat milk was so creamy, and the matcha flavor was very apparent, which is exactly what I look for in a matcha latte. Then I tried my boyfriend's mango sticky rice smoothie, and IT WAS SOOO GOOD. I loved the chunks of rice in it because it adds a fun texture, and the drink was light without being overly sweet. I came back the following week hoping to order a mango sticky rice matcha, only to realize that wasn't actually on the menu. Soooo... I went out of my way to buy both the matcha latte and the mango sticky rice smoothie, took them home, poured them into one big cup, and drank them together. No regrets! The service is always quick, and the shop itself is cozy and adorable. I would 100% recommend this place! read more

Moon Cha - Matcha Latte, mango sticky rice smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

khmer-owned. i got their mango sticky rice smoothie. ample seating ‍ first sip and i thought it was tarty but as i continued to drink, it tasted sweeter. there are bits of actual rice in the drink, which adds a texture similar to tapioca pearls. there was a huge clump of rice at the bottom and i ate because i thought it would be sweet. turns out it was just plain sticky rice. would definitely recommend since their other drink options seemed interesting. the smoothie was definitely more for dessert rather than for health. read more

I tried their **Matcha Jasmine** before their Einspanner and honestly it was way more enjoyable and refreshing than any other matcha combination I've ever tried before. I really loved the calm vibe of not only the staff, but the entirety of the shop as well. I would recommend to try their other drinks on the menu rather than their einspanner because it is quite lacking in matcha-y flavor and it usually comes in the smaller size so you're missing out on the full experience amount. Not as deep of a flavor profile as Airoma or Taty's. The wait time wasn't that long either, and I could see that all the staff takes a great deal of time and dedication to hand-whisking each drink despite the rushes here and then, so don't get impatient! read more

I went there and I knew it was going to be my new go to, I love the setting in there especially the lighting I have sensitive eyes and the lighting in there is very warm and dim perfect for long studies! And don't get me started about their matcha best thing I've ever had! I highly recommend read more

Moon Cha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

genuinely might be the best banana matcha i've had in my life and i'm not even exaggerating (5/5)! the foam is so creamy and tastes like real bananas, and you can still taste the matcha which pairs perfectly! i tried both whole and oat milk with the drink and i think oat milk brings out the matcha flavor more (but it could just be personal preference). it's super lightly sweetened but they have four flavors of sweeteners for free for you to add on the side! my go to is just simple syrup so it doesn't disturb the banana-matcha flavor. the little crunchy nuts on top are sweet and pair well as an additional texture. there's also a lot of seating, wifi, and outlets throughout the store so it's a great spot for studying! ample parking too :) the staff (i went on a thursday) were super friendly and service was great overall. highly recommend and would definitely make the drive to hb to get another drink read more

This is my top coffee shop recommendation to anyone because there's truly always something for everyone! Naza and Long are the SWEETEST owners ever, and they truly are always looking out for their customers. They work so hard to be intentional with everything, down to the drinks being so customizable and to the design of the place being warm and inviting to both people wanting to study and people wanting to meet up with a friend to chat over matcha. This is the first coffee shop that made me feel like I was in the movies! They knew my name and order after just 2 visits and do so many community events. Studyability is always something I look out for, and Moon Cha checks ALL the boxes. There's outlets at every table along the wall, even the window seats. The tables are nice and comfortable, and the chairs have backs. The owners will go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable. Naza sometimes even pulls out extra chairs for people just so that they don't have to put their bags on the ground! Matcha is so yummy. The powder that they use is so creamy and nutty, and the matcha combinations they have... They just have a way with flavors that make you want to finish the entire drink in one sitting even if you're a sipper like me. Must must try their banana ice cream latte. It sounds like a lot, but trust me it is so light yet creamy and flavorful. The toffee also just adds such a nice flavor to it all. The matcha jasmine milk is also super super creative and delicious. They use a Vietnamese coffee roast I believe, and it never fails. Loved their black coffee and their ube coffee. Even their boba is super refreshing and delicious! Tried the mango green tea refresher with boba on a hot day and it was scrumptious. For all the lactose intolerant people out there too, this is one of the few places that make their drinks super dairy free friendly. The cream top for their signature kem chuoi latte is non dairy by default, and their new coconut mango series is nondairy as well. There's definitely something for everyone here! I love Mooncha with my heart and soul, and I'm so happy that such a charming coffee shop opened in OC Highly recommend!! read more

Moon Cha - Einspanner Matcha Latte, Houjicha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

5 stars As a self-certified matcha fiend, I've had a lot of it, not just in OC/LA but all over the world. Mooncha consistently remains in my top 3 time and time again. Not only are the drinks amazing, but the staff are so friendly and kind and they make the experience 10 times better. I ordered - Mango sticky rice smoothie $7 : this drink is only available for a limited time and this is my official petition to keep it on the menu. SO INSANELY GOOD. The mango is subtle yet delicious and the little rice bits in it are the perfect addition. I have no way to describe the flavor except that it's perfection. - Jasmine milk matcha $7 : my go-to at Mooncha. It's tried and true, and you get the most amazing balance of matcha and jasmine milk tea. I highly recommend if you like jasmine. Overall, Mooncha is probably my favorite matcha here in OC and always worth the 30+ minute drive for me. Everything, from the store, to the staff and drinks are all amazing and I cannot recommend it enough. read more

Moon Cha - Jasmine Milk Matcha + mango sticky rice smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Have been visiting Mooncha for 4 times now and I have to say with their consistency, Mooncha is sure on my top favorite place for Matcha and Coffee. For Coffee: I usually get the Mooncha Latte , with one extra shot. Taste just like Cà Phê Muối ( Salted Coffee). What I love about this place is they put Very Light ice.( some places fill the cup with ice and when the drinks left in my car, the cup holder will be filled with water, x(. ) Matcha: I have only tried Banana Matcha so far and it does not have a strong banana flavor ( Which I prefer), the cream texture is smooth and compliments the strong matcha flavor. Highly recommend. Pastries: today I got to try their Garlic Butter bread and it was yummy. Interior: spacious, chairs have cushions so its comfortable if you stay there to do work/ study 10/10 stars for high quality ingredients +1 is the employee/ owner will bring the drinks to your table and they're supper friendly. read more

Became a regular here after my first visit with a friend. Banana matcha is a major 10/10, and it satisfies my craving every time. The foam and matcha are both phenomenal. Each time, there is fresh banana in the foam (blended so well), which makes me happy. So perfectly sweet in the best way! Their pearl (boba) and peach tea are also high quality and delicious. Also, thanks for actually giving me a good amount of boba. I really enjoy every drink that I get here. The milk jasmine matcha and strawberry matcha are also very good. Parking is good since it's in a bigger plaza. Service is always very excellent and kind. The inside is a gorgeous modern vibe that I love, chill and casual. A lot of customers always frequent this store, but it's not overcrowded which is nice. So far, it's my favorite matcha spot in HB. Everything in my prior five star review also applies. I will also go try some other pastries when I'm in the area. read more

i've been hearing about this cafe and their mango sticky rice smoothie from so many people. it didn't disappoint! if you're a fan of not so sweet drinks/desserts, the mango sticky rice smoothie is for you!! the pieces of rice in there added a fun texture to the drink. i also got the mango matcha latte, which was not too bad. i do feel like the mango and matcha are both strong flavors so it clashed with it each other. however, i would love to visit moon cha again to get their mango sticky rice smoothie! there was plenty of parking since it's in a bigger plaza. the decor, vibes, and even their designs (on menu and merch) are so cute!!! it's very calming in there and i can see why there were plenty of people studying/working. there was also quite a bit of seating as well. hopefully they still have their mango sticky rice smoothie next time i swing by! read more

Trippy. I found this place based off reviews while running a search of what coffee place is closest to HB public library because I desperately needed an afternoon jolt. It was a toss up between this place and Miracle, but I opted for this place because they just opened. Once I parked I saw Miracle coffee shop is literally a few doors down, which is kind of sucky to allow more than one coffee shop rent space within the same shopping center but whatever, I thought I'd give this place a try. Service was prompt and friendly. The place is bare bones with tables along the perimeter and middle as seen in pictures off Yelp. Korean music plays so if you're looking for a quiet place this is not it. No problem, I brought a noise canceling headset. If you need absolute quiet I'd say the library but if you need a break, this works. Parking is easy. Why just 4 stars? I ordered the moon latte, hot. It came out a little hotter than lukewarm. Maybe it's a liability thing but this thing is gonna go cold pretty damn soon. My $7 is tiny. This is akin to a small. Maybe Miracle is better. I'll try that next to compare, but this was a bit disappointing. Maybe start up costs and things make it so getting a decent cup of Joe is costing an arm and a leg. read more

This place has tons of seating and it was all taken when I walked in-a great sign for a new shop! They also have benches outside so I was able to sit out there. The layout of the seating is well thought out. There's a bathroom, cute merch, and Vietnamese coffee bags to take home to make yourself! The drinks don't take long to make either. The staff is very friendly too. Wishing you all the best of luck with your new shop! You're doing great! read more

Went here the other day and I don't necessarily hate it, but I also didn't like it. I'm not sure if it's my drink choice (as I opted for a seasonal drink) which was an apple matcha, but I feel as if though I barely tasted it. I'm a huge fan of apple flavors so I was really excited to try; however, the taste simply was not there. I might as well just had a regular matcha. The staff; however, were kind although I had very minimal interaction with them. The place itself was super clean and presentable.

I got a honey lemon refresher and my friend got the honey lemon milk tea. We both really enjoyed it and plan on ordering it again when we come back!
