My first visit and I'm really impressed, however, it was the GF's third time here so I had some idea about the ambiance and menu. She's tried Sandwiches and other things, for example, and several hot and cold drinks. Parking can present a bit of a challenge here, so be aware. Most of the out front spots are reserved for call ahead pickup orders, so you'll have to drive a little deeper in where other businesses might also have parking restrictions, so read all signs carefully. Anyhow, inside is a very spacious interior. To the left is where you order and pickup your drinks, there's a kitchen there as well. On the right is another bar area and small marketplace for drinks. They also have quite a schwag collection of canvas bags, ball caps, and a number of T-shirts with different designs and colors. Additionally, they sell their own roasted coffees in bags or cardboard containers. Then, there are several different seating options: We aimed for the couch in a lounge area with a coffee table and several chairs surrounding it. There are high bar seats, and a patio out back. I liked the Pour-over option and chose Ethiopian Wush Wush, a light, smooth, and slightly sweet coffee the whole presentation was neat. She got something that I enjoyed several sips of. Basically, it's iced coffee with a thick layer of salted cream whipped to a rich, icing-like consistency. Sort of like the weird cheese caps at Boba tea houses, but better (IMHO). I'd definitely Do That! The atmosphere seems conducive to study, apparently there's a Concordia University nearby so at times you might hear Bible talk. Personally, I'd pick a comfortable chair and bring a good book to read. Music is the soundtrack of late 70s and 80s AOR rock, but it contributes to the chill beachy bohemian vibe. read more

Huge space for working. Large tables inside and in their back patio. The line switches from left to right, so make sure you eye the chalkboard when you enter. They have a lot of offerings on their menu for drinks and food. There are bags of beans available to purchase along with merch. Parking lot can get a little hectic and was consistently full when I arrived and left. Service was friendly. They always made sure you were helped if you came up to the counter for went near it. I got a drip coffee and a spinach egg biscuit sandwich. Coffee was fine. Sandwich was a little sad. I keep hearing great things about this spot though and I think I ordered the wrong things. Based on what I ordered, I don't understand the hype. I'm down to go back since this place is right by my mechanic. Hopefully the next time, I'll order the right things. read more

One of my favorite workspaces ever! They also happen to have some killer sips and noms! It's very spacious inside with a ton of seating options. Choose from your classic tables, bar seating, plush couches or one-seaters, or head outside and enjoy their patio! There's also greenery scattered throughout and an awesome mural of what looked like space goats. A top-tier place to study, work, or hang out! I dropped by on a Friday night and happened to come across their open mic night! Lots of stand up comics and musicians. I'm a matcha fien and they definitely serve up some yummy drinks and treats! Their matcha latte is a go-to. The also have a cool matcha pop tart that's absolutely amazing as well. Note: Really appreciate that they don't charge extra for milk substitutes! read more

Came on a sunday afternoon and the cafe wasn't that crowded so we didn't have to wait long. I decided to try the seasonal drink hojichai and it did not disappoint. This unique drink was delicious. The workers were super nice and offered the wifi code. This place is chill and seems like a good place to do computer work. read more

MoonGoat Coffee Roasters - Hojichai - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Popular coffee spot in the area and is busy. Luckily the space is large with several seating options in/outdoors. Order at the counter and they serve you at your seat. We ordered the deluxe biscuit and egg sandwiches with bacon, a matcha latte, and a cold brew. Our beverages were great but our deluxe biscuit sandwiches came out as regular- sans pepper jam and arugula. Inconvenient to receive an incorrect order and even more so that it took some time to receive the missing items. However, it was still enjoyable. read more

I came here for the first time two years ago and hadn't been back since. A colleague of mine wanted to work together from Moon Goat, and having forgotten about it in so long I figured why not, it's close to my house so an easy option. The drinks are always good, but for working here, the internet is abysmal. It's horrible. It's so slow, the process to get connected is painful (they give you a code if you buy something, but actually connecting once you have the code is difficult... and I am tech savvy). The food is good but so overpriced !!! Unfortunately, with so many other options nearby, this would not be my first choice for a coworking spot until they get high speed internet. Overall, a great place for coffee and a chat, but awful if you need internet or have work to do. read more

Love that this place is right down the street from my work. I appreciate the 10min parking in the front to grab a coffee and go. My fave is the iced vanilla latte with the sea salt foam. Delicious! read more

I found this place during Covid in 2020 and right before I moved out of Cali. Every time I go back to visit, this is a MUST STOP place. Their coffee, avocado toast and homemade pop tarts are my favorites. read more

Moon Goat coffee is my favorite coffee spot. The avocado toast is a must try. The staff is incredible, Aly and Ricky are my favorites. I love the interior, it's hip and cool with awesome hanging chairs. Their social media posts make me laugh. The back patio is my favorite spot to hangout with. Cappuccino! read more

Way over priced, bad coffee. The breakfast sandwich I order with bacon and egg had one piece of bacon on the whole sandwich. It was $50 for 2 coffees, a breakfast sandwich, and an avocado toast. Also, they do not have WiFi here until after 3pm. My girlfriend and I were very excited to try this place but unfortunately it was a massive disappointment. read more

Great location. Lots of parking. Delicious coffees and a nice variety of food options. Love the vibe and service is great.

This is for the moongoat workspace across the street from the Moongoat coffee roasters. YES MOONGOAT HAS A WEWORK/coed office space!! Honestly yes it's 100% worth the 12$ to pay to work and study in peace. Have you ever been to this location in Costa Mesa and tried to enjoy a coffee some food and study. Good luck at the coffee roasters. It's so crowded and packed, people everywhere. Walk across the street not even 5ft away you are all by yourself enjoying the quiet and coffee moongoat has to offer. With the exception of a few of the workers socializing a bit to loud VERY RARELY at times and making cocktails at the front counter, this place is very quiet and peaceful. It's worth the money 12$ for 4 hrs and you get unlimited cups of coffee it's worth it. The ambiance is really awesome as well!! read more

Nice space with lots of room and varied types of seating. Very quiet as a coffee shop should be. - Filter coffee was OK. Can't really expect much more than that. I like that they'll fill the travel mug you bring in (a standard thing with coffee shops these days). - Avocado toast was good, maybe too salty. Good bread. I wasn't asked about creamer in my coffee, expecting to find it on a counter somewhere. Nope, had to go back to the guy and ask for some and was presented with a few ounces in a plastic cup. I hate plastic waste. The avocado toast was put in a disposable container too. Wasn't asked if I was eating in (I was). The server might have assumed because of my travel mug. So, a minor service failure but overall a good coffee shop. read more

Matcha heaven at Moongoat! If you're a matcha lover, run--don't walk--to Moongoat. I've tried matcha at dozens of spots, and nothing compares to the quality and consistency here. Their matcha is smooth, earthy, and vibrant--clearly ceremonial-grade and expertly prepared every time. It's got that perfect, clean flavor that true matcha fans crave. The baristas at Moongoat are amazing, especially Aly! They're super friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to make recommendations based on your preferences. Whether you like your matcha iced with oat milk (my go-to) or hot and unsweetened, they absolutely nail it. The vibe inside is laid-back and welcoming, with just the right mix of cozy and modern. It's the kind of place where you can hang out with friends or get some work done while sipping the best green drink in town. Moongoat has officially set the bar for matcha. Nothing else compares. read more

Coffee is really good but a bit overpriced for me. I enjoyed the matcha and chai latte but would recommend ordering the medium size rather than small. read more

MoonGoat would no-doubt be rated 5 stars intergalacticly. This coffee shop is located in a warehouse with two large bars for service. I'd classify this cafe as having a 'hipster' vibe - largely due to the painted goat in an astronaut suit. It's one of the few cafes in the Costa Mesa/Huntington Beach area that is designed to get work done. There's plenty of seating, tables, electrical outlets and a solid wifi connection. They even have a large outdoor patio filled with additional seating and dog friendly patrons. MoonGoat specializes in caffeine, pastries and a pretty tasty food menu. I ended up ordering the iced chai masala with oat milk and the eggplant focaccia sandwich. The chai masala was filled with unique spices that will most definitely have me coming back for more. I also love that they don't charge extra for almond and oat milk.. other coffee shops should take note. I've never had an eggplant sandwich before, but this is something that I want to add to my everyday diet. Their focaccia bread is made fresh in-house and the eggplant was juicy and flavorful. The perfect meatless substitute! My only complaint was the level of spice. It wasn't advertised as spicy, but I definitely felt the intense burn. I only got to eyeball the pastries, but I'm looking forward to returning to try their pop-tarts! read more

I've tried a couple of drinks from MoonGoat & mostly enjoyed the experience. The iced drinks and cold foam (especially the seasonal early grey foam) seems to be where they excel. The hot drink (fig syrup) we tried lacked any fig flavor. The service is average, I came on a Saturday morning during brunch rush & felt like I was being pressured to not linger and take up a table. Ambiance is nice and the dark interior is relaxing. read more

I love moongoat. My mom has been raving about this place for a while now and I was getting my car tinted next door so I stopped by and boy it did not disappoint. Smoked salmon breakfast bagel: 10/10 I added avocado mash on the side and added it to my bagel and it was sooo good. Buttermilk biscuit & egg sandwich: 8.5/10 My boyfriend really enjoyed this sandwich, but he said for the price he expected it to be a bit bigger, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. Strawberry brûlée matcha: 9/10 This was a very milk forward drink, but not overtly sweet. The strawberry was also very light and the matcha was very smooth. The inside of the coffee shop was also very nicely arranged and big. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Got a hot hulk juice. For $7 I expected the size to be a lot bigger? Clearly the iced one is in a bigger cup but they gave me this hot one in such a small cup. It's so not worth the price. In terms of taste, the matcha isn't too strong nor is it too sweet but at the end of the day it wasn't anything too special? I could have gone elsewhere and paid less for this size. Deluxe breakfast biscuit- this was decent but too pricey for the size. The biscuit is dry. There is an overcooked egg and a measly piece of arugula in it. The cheese is so minimal I couldn't even taste it. The bacon was super crispy and not greasy. Honestly it was the best out of everything. I also enjoyed the jam but wish they gave more. read more

This review is based on Friday nights only! After my 9-5 I come here to work on my side hustle and enjoy it. I always get the churro latte which is delicious and runs a little under $7. All the baristas have been very kind and I appreciate a coffee shop that stays open late. You get 2 hours of free wifi so if you're planning to be here for longer be warned! Friday nights consist of open mic night. It gets really loud so bring headphones if you're trying to study. I don't mind it but it's super tough to find seating to do work due to open mic night! read more

As my social life is nonexistent currently because I'm studying all the time, I've been on the search to find study spots like this one! When stepping inside, there is a wide open space near the front and a lot of seating towards the back! I came around 12 on a Friday afternoon and was able to find a seat! There is also plentiful outside seating fyi ~ As for the coffee - SUPERB. I got a latte with lavender cold foam, which was a new experience for me. It was so delicious, and the cold foam had a hint of sweetness which balanced the acidity of the latte well. The barista was also super friendly and helped me decide which drink to get as it was my first time. As for the parking, there is FREE valet parking, which I was shook by, because that's so rare. The conclusion: what's not to like about Moongoat coffee roasters?? read more

Overall a great study spot, with really nice vibe and decor. The food are decent and not bad. The matcha though is my main focus. I like to go to different coffee shops and check out their matcha since I make my own at home. There are three moongoats, one in Garden Grove, one in Costa Mesa (here), and in Irvine (near UCI). I would have to say the matcha quality has been going down lately in the Costa Mesa and Irvine moongoats. The color is not a bright green but a dull yellow green. I need to go back and try the one in Garden Grove. The matcha from there was really good last time I went which was at least 5-6 months ago. They do not have oat milk here but they have koji rice oat milk (which I believe is fermented rice). The fermented rice oat milk severely affects the taste of matcha and makes it not enjoyable at all for non whole milk drinkers. The color and quality of matcha is not that great as well. The term ceremonial grade is tossed around a lot and if you're looking for Community Goods' type of matcha you won't find it here. The closest would be In-Sit which serves Rocky's matcha, known to be flavorful and nutty. The matcha here is flat and does not have any flavor beyond the sweetener it use. Overall, I would come here to get coffee and study, not for matcha. Great service and barista. read more

This place is such a vibe with great food and a dope social atmosphere in an amazing spot in OC. I want to say tho that I had some of the best customer service ever in SoCal from my boys Steve and Brayden! They went above and beyond in their service and want to givea huge appreciation to them and the Moon Goat team! read more

TL;DR - solid choice for a cafe to work/study! 3.5/5 FOOD/DRINK: *chocolate croissant - i thought it would more like a pain au chocolat but it was a croissant cut open with nutella spread inside. it was okay! tasted good but very sweet and a bit too heavy for 9am in the morning lol. 3/5 *matcha latte - i got a regular iced matcha latte w their housemade almond milk. it was okay- not the best but not the worst. the matcha came through but the almond milk overpowered a bit. 3/5 SERVICE: everyone i interacted with was extremely sweet and friendly! answered all our questions and made good suggestions. 5/5 PRICE: the total for everything was around $13, including tax and tip. i think its pretty average and fair compared to other shops. 5/5 THINGS TO NOTE: *they give each person a code for wifi and it lasts two hours *they have free valet parking! super convenient *they have a lot of seating area inside and out. i saw a few outlets near the major tables inside. read more

We shared the salmon and cream cheese bagel. That part was good. The cold brew with milk (Budget Bru) was absolutely awful. It tasted like stale old coffee with too much milk. Paid extra for vanilla and there was no vanilla in it at all. We left it at the table. Place is kinda dark with lots of space. Baristas seemed a little robotic with their greetings and conversation at the counter. Boyfriend had a cortado espresso which was okay. Neither of us made any comment on coming back to give it another try. read more

Might be one of the cooler looking coffee shops I been to in a while. The space inside is huge, the layout makes it feel as if you are in a business room but with a relaxing vibe that serves food and coffee. Parking is great and not a huge deal. The staff were friendly which allows everyone who enters to be in a happy mood. This place is worth the add to your coffee list. read more

I always love the vibe at MoonGoat--great coffee and an even better spot to enjoy it. The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish, making it a favorite go-to. Parking can be a bit tricky at times, but it's worth it once you're inside! read more

MoonGoat is a great place if you are looking to study. It has a tons of seating and a big open layout with tons of natural light. The food is also great which a great selection of beverages. I tried the masala chai latte and the toasted match latte which were both fantastic. The staff was also super helpful and kind. And they are open super late for those late night study sessions!! DISCLAIMER BEFORE YOU COME! Wi-Fi is only available after 2PM!! So..I would ensure that you can use your phoneme hotspot if you bring a laptop or any other device that requires Wi-Fi. That was the only downside for me. But if you come after 2pm you don't have anything to worry about. read more

I have typically always LOVED MoonGoat. Coffee is good, but I wish they had more specialty drinks to try. Here's my issue though - the wifi is TERRIBLE. Want to go and chat with friends? They recently changed their wifi where as before you had to get a new password every 2 hours. Now it's the same password anyone can join and my laptop and phone both never get any internet with the new system. Nothing loads, it disconnects me every 3 minutes, it's a nightmare. If you are a student or remote worker (which is like 90% of their clientele) find a new spot if you need the wifi. Super bummed over this change :/ read more

There's plenty of parking, but half the parking is valet only (but free valet). The place is big with plenty of seats available inside and an outdoor patio. I ordered the Churro Latte, which was a good drink but expensive. It didn't quite taste like a Churro to me, but more of a 'sugary' coffee drink. It tasted sweet, but the ice helped dilute the sweetness a bit. Due to the high demand of people ordering coffee and food items, the wait time was really long. I waited probably about 15 - 20 minutes for my drink. Recommendation(s): - Churro Latte Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Free valet parking - Accept Apple Pay - Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating read more

Ah MoonGoat! This coffee spot has so much potential for being the best work/ study spot. When you arrive, you have to valet. Like most Orange County places, parking is limited and they are trying to make the best of the situation. The valet is free, however like most people believe, valeting your car is not the best. I do appreciate that they have reserved "10 minute" parking spots out front for people who are just running in to get a coffee so they don't have to deal with the hassle of valet. When you go inside, you will be very lucky if there is not a line. The baristas are pretty quick about hurrying people through so you are not in line forever. They do have menus right as you walk in so you can get to the cashier and order immediately. If you are really in a rush, they also have the QR code to order online so you don't have to stand in line and wait. They have usually 3-4 baristas making the drinks, so the wait time for coffee is faster than most busy coffee shops. The coffee itself is alright. Some of the coffee items are amazing and some are subpar. The churro latte is my favorite. Their avocado toast has me obsessed!! It is so tasty and actually pretty big! It will fill you up! Usually if I'm hungry, I'll grab a decaf tea and an avocado toast. The ambiance of MoonGoat is spot on! They have chill oldies softly playing in the background, murals of space goats on the wall, plants hanging, a shaded patio area, and huge windows. It is a study spot dream!! Seating is where MoonGoat loses me. Finding a spot to sit at MoonGoat compares to a Lord of the Flies situation. The space itself is quite large and the decor provides a relaxed ambiance. However, a majority of its clientele is working on their laptops. Half of the space has a few smaller tables, and one long table for people to work. On the other side, there is an area with couches. I'm not sure about everyone else, but working on a couch on your laptop does not work. For how busy MoonGoat typically is, it's a shame they don't provide more table seating for everyone working. Due to the excellent ambiance MoonGoat provides, it gets very busy and there simply isn't enough space. I would also argue that MoonGoat is not work/ study friendly. They limit your wifi time to only two hours. I am a routine person, and my coffee shop work time is three hours, so it really frustrates me. To get more wifi time, you have to purchase more items. I understand they are trying to find a solution to their lack of seating, but limiting wifi is not it. Overall, I only go to MoonGoat if it is very early in the morning so that finding a seat isn't impossible. MoonGoat is so close to being a phenomenal work spot, but ultimately falls short. read more

Stopped by here this morning to try out a new local coffee shop especially since my friend seems to be a fan. And I'm so glad I did! MoonGoat has a SUPER CUTE interior...definitely a great place to get some work done. They also have unique drinks and pastries--I ordered an iced churro latte and an earl grey blueberry pop tart. Both items were AMAZING. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but the iced churro latte was sweet enough for me to drink. The pop tart, though small, was packed with flavor. I will 100% be returning and telling my friends about it since it's so close to where I live. read more

I was looking for an espresso at a nearby cafe that opened late, and I ended up getting the churro latte for a late night study. The drink blends in cinnamon with dulce de leche, and the sweetened drink with a subtle kick kept me up through the evening. The branding is well thought out, and what seems to be a strong expansion plan has opened many locations this year. The wifi and moody decor kept me working on my work, but soon music settled in as more people join for a Saturday night hangout. The smooth band started playing jazz, and jammed up an impromptu session with a banjo artist for a good night of caffine. read more
