    The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. My new obsession is Matcha tonic and so I was so happy to find this nearby café. The inside of the café is beautiful very tranquil very serene. The barista was so sweet. She helped me place my order as a first timer. They have some seasonal drinks and she recommended that I add in strawberry watermelon into my Matcha tonic, which was great advice. The kombucha was so delicious and probably one of the best I've ever had. I really would love to return for brunch on the weekend some food that I saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing.

    After great anticipation decided to stop by moongoat and try the strawberry watermelon matcha, absolutely delicious. By far my favorite strawberry matcha blend. The cold foam mixed well with the drink and the flavor was very smooth, i didn't taste the artificial syrup like other places. Good open space to work and staff was friendly, definitely coming back

    I wanted to love this place because of all the hype, but as a matcha girl... the matcha just didn't hit for me. My friend did really enjoy her churro latte and cinnamon roll pastry though, so maybe coffee and pastries are the safer move here. Service was a little mid. It was Mother's Day, so maybe the guy working was just overwhelmed or having an off day, but he definitely seemed like he didn't want to be there. The space itself is huge and honestly probably the best part. Tons of seating inside and outside, making it a great place to get some work done or just hang out for a while. The environment was calm and quiet, which I appreciated. I also loved the art pieces on the walls and all the plants they had for sale. They offer a lot of grab and go options plus merch, which added to the overall aesthetic vibe.

    * There is a lot of seating inside and the atmosphere is fun and artsy. * There are lots of public restrooms inside, which is nice. * Their matcha is delicious... however... Their coffee isn't as great (it's definitely on the more STRONG and BITTER side). When we had went, it was very busy and so it took over 30 minutes to get our drinks, and the barista's were very rude taking our order. It was disappointing customer service. hot matcha latte 10/10 Smooth, on the sweeter side but not "in your face." Flavoring was very good and matcha wasn't grassy or grainy - very high quality. iced churro latte 0/10 Unfortunately this drink was super bitter and the espresso was so overpowering that you couldn't taste the flavoring at all. The espresso was too bold for me that I couldn't enjoy it. Tried switching it out for a vanilla latte but ended up having the same negative experience),:

    The food here was warm and exactly as described. Seasonal drinks, we got the iced lavender blueberry matcha. I also tried the iced churro latte. Staff was fantastic, friendly and efficient They have indoor and outdoor seating. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4.8/5

    Stumbled upon this hip and chic coffee house as I had business in the area. Inside is definitely built for studying, working, and quiet collaboration. Everything from the indoor/outdoor seating, communal tables, and "bar" seating. Very nice decor. Didn't even have to deal with a Barista or customer service (Although everyone did seem nice and accommodating) as they have self-serve check point of sale in addition to talking directly. The cold brew was acidic and fruity. Very refreshing. I always like to get a cold brew and pour over to judge a place, and coffee alone, I do think this place is great. They were out of the "recommended on Yelp" avocado toast, so I settled for a BEC on an everything bagel. While it was fresh, and hot, with great cuts of bacon and real egg... this fell a bit short for me. The ingredients were just too small for the bagel. Needed a bit more arugula. It was good, and I wouldn't mind paying $10 for it... just not $13. I would definitely come in here for coffee again... maybe even give the avocado toast a shot, if they have it.

    Such an adorable spot! Visiting Moongoat Coffee Roasters honestly felt like I was on vacation. The beautiful plants, open-air space, and tons of seating made it such a relaxing place to hang out. The Brunch Biscuits Benedict was delicious! I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the coffee. Love that they offer takeout too. Parking was super easy, and I'd definitely recommend grabbing your drink to-go and heading somewhere scenic by the beach to enjoy it!

    Since moving to OC, I've been looking for a regular coffee shop with an atmosphere perfect for studying, doing work on my laptop, or even reading/journaling in the wild. Safe to say MoonGoat may be one of my top cafe contenders! Although parking is very limited (the lot fills up quick), the actual cafe environment is very open with lots of seating available either inside or outside. I stopped by on a weeknight and wasn't surprised to see the place bustling especially with the proximity of nearby colleges. I was able to find a seat outside, but there wasn't an outlet for me to charge my laptop at. Food-wise, I ended up ordering a flat white and a breakfast bagel sandwich. The flat white was really good. The coffee wasn't bitter at all. The breakfast bagel sandwich was okay. Nothing special but I was so hungry in the moment that it didn't matter. I know MoonGoat is a chain, but I really did like this location and can see myself coming back.

    Really good espresso with a nice balance of sweetness! I added vanilla syrup to my coffee, and it wasn't overpowering at all -- it blended really well with the espresso. I ordered a large, and it came with four shots, which was a great bonus. Drinks are priced around $6-8, depending on the size and any customizations you choose. Definitely worth it for the quality! The space was really nice too -- plenty of areas to study or just sit and chat. Great atmosphere overall!

    I came to MoonGoat Coffee Roasters for the first time after I got off work. I arrived around 5 pm, and there were still plenty of tables and seats to take up. The interior is very cozily lit, and they have a nice bit of music going on as well. I placed my order with the barista, and within a few minutes, I got a hot matcha latte with a cute little swan foam design on the top. The matcha was nice warm and foamy, and filled to the brim of the cup. I took a spot at one of the high stool countertops, which yes, did have a lovely outlet that I used to plug in my laptop and soon got to work. The wifi code was written on the receipt, so if you do want to get some work done without using a hotspot you will have to purchase something. They had an outdoor area, as well if you enjoy a nice breeze better. I think I would have gotten my matcha just a bit sweeter, but other than that, great experience here!

    Love this place! Tons of seating, accessible outlets, great coffee, and love that they're open late. It's my go-to when I need a place to work. Also good food options if you get hungry. I've always been able to find a parking spot, but I do worry that I eventually will run into trouble with that. Can't decide how I feel about the tiny ice cubes

    I hold Moongoat in high regard due to their commendable generosity in community donations, active participation in Love Costa Mesa Day, and dedicated efforts to support individuals in recovery. The establishment is tastefully decorated, creating an inviting atmosphere. Both the beverages and food are of excellent quality. Personally, I often enjoy their matcha.

    Nicole C.

    This is a really cool space with plenty of room. I tried the churro latte and it was really delicious. I also ordered the Brunch Avocado Toast and it was heavenly lol it was extremely delicious, very filling, and all the ingredients are clearly fresh, top notch, and healthy. Super clean, nutritious, and delicious. The barista was super friendly and helpful with suggestions. They had positive vibes, and even though it was a busy Saturday they didn't rush me. All and all the entire experience was very enjoyable!

    Ask the Community - MoonGoat Coffee Roasters

    Does the costa mesa location have free wifi?

    It's not free, you have to buy something and the wifi & password will be on the bottom of the receipt.

    Do this place have outlets available?

    It has some, but they are limited since this place gets super busy.

    What is the parking situation like?

    It's really convenient as they have an attached (shared) parking lot. Even though I went on a weekend morning, there was plenty of parking.

    Do you still do open mic nights?

    We do! Each month we host an open mic night at Docking Station, our event space next door. Keep an eye out on our Instagram for dates and times of upcoming open mic nights as well as additional events!

    Bought a bag of the dark side of the moon-- for your espresso/lattes, what is the dose, extraction, and extraction time you use for them? Thanks!

    18g in, 30s with 36g yield

    Are you located in the SOHO shops?

    Nope! We have a stand-alone shop visible from placentia Ave as you drive between Victoria and Wilson in Costa Mesa!

    Are pets (like dogs) allowed in your coffee shop/restaurant? I was just told by the owner no Pets allowed, just want to confirm, Thx!

    We do have a dog-friendly patio, but in compliance with state health code laws we are not able to accommodate non-service animals in our lobby. They are more than welcome to wait with you while you order and wait for your drink, though!

    How long can we stay in your coffee shop?Like staying there to study of course after buying coffee ?is it conducive for studying?

    Great please to study and work, there is no "time limit" but when you ask for the wifi password it will expire in 1 hour after activation. To be courteous I generally buy another drink and ask for another code, but you may not need to do that. They… Read more

    Are there plugs/outlets?

    Yes

    Do they have plugs for outdoor seating?

    They do not currently!

    Are dogs allowed inside or only in the outdoor seating area?

    Only out doors. You can order with the dog and wait for your drink with the dog but to sit you have to sit outside with the dog.

    Can I hold baby first birthday party here?

    Hi! For special events requests email us and we can discuss further - events@moongoat.com

    Hi! Is this the address for the new coffee shop location or the warehouse?

    New coffee shop!

    Is the location easy to spot?

    Thanks for asking Tiffany! Our Warehouse is not easy to spot. But once you find it, it's worth it! Feel free to give us a ring if you are having trouble finding it.

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.

I recently ordered the plain croissant and it was by far the best plain croissant I've had in my life. You'll need to come earlier in the day to have options because they sell somewhat quickly. Small nitpick that I've also seen from others is that they really should keep pastries in a case rather than out in the open. The fly fan things don't work that well... Also with the amount of dogs, fur and dander are inevitably airborne. When I was there last a customer's large dog jumped on the counter several times and had his face and paws in the pastries - woops.

    I've been a regular here at Eller since opening and I've always loved coming in for their coffee,…read morepastries and bread. I haven't been to Eller in the last couple months until this Morning. I've been told that there's new ownership and changes with ingredients (which doesn't bother me) yet everything tastes and looks terrible now. Croissants have huge gaping holes, there's a jalapeño cream cheese croissant and it's just a croissant with a block of cold cream cheese in it..., mushy carrot cake that's barely fully baked, the only pastry that I really enjoyed was the yuzu blood orange danish. Also the food for breakfast and brunch it's really disappointing... since opening they have had the same exact menu with no new menu items, no creativity and just outright bland it so desperately needs a change. The absolute ONLY reason why I gave this review 3 stars instead of 1 is because of the sourdough country loaves... WOW, I would say it's the best bread in OC and the only reason that I'd come back. So if you're looking for a quality sourdough loaf definitely come in for that.... Other than that stay far away from this place and it hurts me to say that now because I saw such potential in this place.

    I've had Eller saved for months now and finally was in the area to try it!…read more Interior is super bright and open. Parking lot is a tad small, but seemed to be enough. There was ample seating inside and outside. Staff was very nice at helping us choose our food. We ended up ordering a wide variety of things. My personal favorite was the tomato and basil pizza and the carrot cake.

    HHC Coffee was a wonderful stop and a great way to start our day! I enjoyed the Strawberry Matcha,…read morewhich was refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Maple Latte and absolutely loved the rich, warm flavors. We also shared the Ham and Cheese Pesto Croissant, and it was delicious--light, buttery, flaky, and filled with great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor seating area. We loved dining outside and enjoying the beautiful weather while sipping our drinks and relaxing. It created the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for quality coffee, delicious pastries, and a great outdoor dining experience!

    It is unfortunate that as I was browsing reviews, another very recent review touched upon the…read moreservice experience here too. I came in today and was served by a blonde cashier who felt cold and unfriendly. She was very bubbly and warm towards the patron (who was also a white woman) before me, who maybe seemed to be a friend or a regular. They were chatting for a bit and when it came to be my turn at the register, her face completely fell and she did not welcome me or say any greeting. Just.....silence........so I awkwardly ordered my drink. Once I said my order, she turned her head to the specials menu, and had a cold, blank expression, which made me think that it was out or that they couldn't do what I asked. I asked her if the drink I ordered was available, and there was a long pause before she dryly laughed it off and said that she didn't register what I was saying. It felt like a lame excuse and it felt so awkward; so I just tried to be as polite as possible and continued with my order. I wanted to just sit down and leave asap. It was so disorienting because she had acted in a completely different way with the girl before me. I just shrugged it off as a bad day, but when I consulted my friend about it, she said that the same girl acted in the same way towards her. And then I came here to write a review and saw that another Asian woman seemed to have a similar experience, so it doesn't just seem like a one-off thing....

    I've been to other locations of Moongoat Coffee Roasters, and I continue to be a fan of the brand…read morebut this location was slightly less satisfying than the products I had at their other locations. The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

    I remember trying to go here a while back ago when it blew up on TikTok but ended up not sticking…read morearound because it was so crowded (and also because I got harassed by a neighbor outside who, in his own words, was trying to make people feel not welcome here because he was angry about people coming in and parking in the neighborhood... weird). Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

    Oh, The Lost Bean... I'm at a loss for words…read more I really wanted to love this location. I've been a customer at the Tustin location for years, so I walked in excited. Unfortunately, this visit was one disappointment after another. We arrived at 8:30 a.m. hoping for a peaceful coffee-and-breakfast morning. Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind. But surprisingly... that wasn't even the worst part. The food was incredibly disappointing. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were still raw--hard enough to remind me they were once part of the ground.. My husband ordered the French toast, which looked suspiciously like it took a quick detour from Trader Joe's frozen aisle before landing on our table. There's nothing wrong with frozen French toast... unless you're charging $14 and calling it brunch. Another friend ordered the granola with berries. After a few bites, he gave it a skeptical look, pushed the bowl away, and decided breakfast simply wasn't worth the gamble. The coffee was decent , but honestly wasn't worth fighting the neighbors for a parking spot!
