Cute coffee shop. The foods are delicious. But.....the tables were just preoccupied by students who stays there like forever to study. So it's really hard to find a table to dine in & catch up with friends in between this students. They make you feel guilty for talking and laughing a little louder. The place should put up a sign there that "this is not your "usual" library" or "Study at your own risk". read more

I had the iced churro latte and it was absolutely fantastic. One of the best I've had in the area. Would definitely recommend. Service is good and pretty standard. Ambiance here is lots of students on their laptops and headphones quietly being studious. read more

Moon goat has great coffee and food. Service is superb too! You always feel welcome coming in

I love the lattes here! I got the iced vanilla latte and the ice were little pieces which I enjoyed (honestly, the type of ice really elevates the coffee). It was a bit on the sweeter side but not overwhelmingly sweet. I liked that they gave the latte in a glass cup when staying at the coffee shop. It's a pretty lively place but still great to study at, and they have an outdoor section where dogs are allowed. Only drawback is that on the weekends, they don't have wifi, but as long as you have a hotspot you're fine. read more

Great Matcha drinks, friendly staff and service. A nice ambience and environment to be in.

I love coming here! The drinks are tasty and the staff are friendly. It's a great place to chill and relax. I love coming here to do work or just read. read more

MoonGoat Coffee Roaster's original coffee shop located in Costa Mesa is honestly one of my favorite coffee shops. I was ecstatic to hear that one opened super close by to where I live and work! It is located right inside Research Park at the bottom floor of one of the "corporate buildings." Don't worry about having a UCI parking permit because they've reserved a series of spots in front of the shop. It has nice seating both indoors and outdoors (but not as aesthetic as their original location, I have to say). I admit that my matcha was a bit on the too-sweet side. Their prices are also reflective of your average, fancy coffee shop these days. I recommend their Churro Lattes. read more

Came here with a friend as I heard a lot of good things and I was very disappointed. We both got matcha lattes and it was overall very disappointing. Tasted like overpriced milk water with ice and there was no matcha flavor at all. The service was pretty good but once again the drinks were just disappointing. There was an okay amount of seating and the day we went it was packed so we just took our drinks to go but definitely looks like a good study spot if you can get a seat. read more

Studied here for 6 hours. Good Chai, hot or cold. And their sandwiches are to die for read more

They didn't get my girls matcha right! TWICE!! The worker even offered to remake it. How tragic...

I bought a bag of moon goat espresso and made lattes at home. The espresso is great! Plus fast shipping!

Cute shop! Love the vibe, am able to be very productive here and enjoy coffee on the side. Def a go to study chill coffee spot I'll come back too when back in town read more

The churro latte is really good, and I'm not even a coffee drinker. Perfect level of sweetness. Their croissants are okay, they add some salt to the top, which I didn't think was necessary. Always busy, but really fast service. Cute location on UCI's campus. read more

The coffee was good. The service was friendly. The place needed a good cleaning! It was early Sunday morning and either last shift Saturday or first shift Sunday didn't bother. The small round table was soooo dirty. As was the carpeted area under the sofa where we sat, it looked like it had not been cleaned a/o vacuumed for weeks. I wonder what the kitchen looks like. Wish I had taken a photo. read more

Matcha was top tier at Moongoat! Came in today and the cashier Jaydlin was very friendly and informative of the different matcha options! First time at the Irvine location and place was neat with indoor and outdoor seating options. Will be coming back!! read more

Great place! Food, coffee, ambiance ...all so nice! Their attention to detail was what I thought was so amazing, from the way the coffee was prepared, to the way the sandwiches were made and the food was prepared, all the way down to even the fact that I'm a big soda water drinker and the owner happened to be there and describing great detail the way they adjust the carbonation for their soda water... And let me tell you it was the best I've probably ever had! read more

I was in the area and found this place on Yelp! There was plenty of space to sit down and work early in the morning, and the seats were actually comfortable! So many coffee shops these days have awful seating (maybe to discourage camping), but not here! I got an iced oatmilk latte - decaf because ~anxiety~ and it was delicious. Not that often you find great decaf coffee! read more

I've been to this moongoat location twice and both times were fairly pleasant experiences. I love how close it is to my workplace and there's always a good amount of parking available, especially two 15 minute spots up front (perfect for pickup). Both times, I ordered online in advance, which was super convenient for me. To pick up my order, I walk to the pick up shelf to pick up my order and then head out. I also like how the cups aren't full of ice, even without checking the light ice box. In terms of price, it's a tad on the higher side. The small matcha strawberry brûlée was base $7.25 + $1 for oat milk. For the small iced matcha with oat milk and honey, the base was $5 + $1 for oat milk + $1 for wildflower honey. This location also has cute merch and ample seating inside the store. There's also seating and games outside which is perfect for anyone on a study break. read more

We had Moon Goat Coffee cater our wedding and it was amazing!!! Not only were we already fans of Moon Goat coffee, but our love for them became even greater after seeing their phenomenal service and super cute coffee cart. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it! Brendan was awesome to work with and was super helpful in booking. Would highly recommend booking them for your next event or just stopping by to one of their lovely coffee shops. read more

I'm not sure if it's a good thing that this amazing coffee roaster opened so close to me. It's a good thing in that this location has had sub par coffee for many years and MoonGoat is quite possibly the best coffee I've had in a long time. It's a bad thing in that I'm going there almost every day and spending a fortune. They obviously know and take great pride in coffee. Every drink I've tried is expertly roasted, with aromatics and flavors most coffee places burn right out of their beans. This is serious coffee, I hope they stay in business! read more

Pour overs done right with a large selection of high-quality beans to choose from. I enjoyed both the Yeast Nic and Paraiso Plum. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors, nice decor and vibe. Went on an easy Sunday morning with the parking lot mostly empty. But it's in the middle of an office park so I bet it gets busy during the week. Two clean single stall bathrooms available. read more

One of the best matchas I've ever tried!! I got an iced 12oz unsweetened matcha with almond milk. I got the 12 oz instead of the 16oz because they put the same amount of matcha in both and wanted it to be a bit stronger. 10/10 highly recommend . read more

Loved the mushroom coffee was very tasty and healthy not too sweet. The ambience of this shop is perfect for studying or hanging out. Gets crowded fast. Plenty of seating indoor and out - no outdoor heaters tho heads up. read more

PARKING 5/5 - Extremely large SERVICE 5/5 - Quick and easy. Short interaction DRINKS 3.5/5 - Churro (lowest sweet): 4.7/5. Good balance & flavor. still slightly more sweet than I would prefer but still good! - Mocha (lowest sweet): 3.5/5. Choco more overpowering than the coffee taste. Still a little sweeter than preferred even at lowest - Chai: 3/5. Tasted watery STUDYABILITY 4/5 - Outlets: plenty but at the same time not plenty. I'd say 50% success rate for an outlet - Seats for study: 80% of seats are good for studying. Of the 80%, about 70% of the seats will be near an outlet! - Music: Various?? Sometimes it's loud, sometimes it's not. Genre changes often. I don't mind it though; not a big deal if you have your own headphones - Finding seats: Best come in the morning. The later on in the day, the harder it gets to find a good seat (inside). GENERAL ENVIRONMENT 5/5 - Temperature: Good - Outdoor seating: Available - Restrooms: 2 all-gender restrooms - Lighting: Good. Lots of natural light too - Decor: Good - Wifi: Yes - Crowd: packed quick in waves OVERALL 4/5 [Side note] Review based on: - Occurrence #1: Wed @8am - Occurrence #2: Thurs @6:30am - 12pm read more

Always good coffee and really nice staff, Sarah always takes good care of us. Good outdoor seating too.

came today to moongoat because i'm obsessed with the overnight oats, i had called beforehand and made sure they had them. but when i had arrived about 5 minutes later they were fully out. this was very upsetting for me because i only drove here for this reason. i decided to still get a coffee, i got an iced latte with almond milk and sugar free vanilla and something was definitely off about the flavor, im not sure if it was the coffee itself or the flavoring but this is my order every time. so it was really disappointing on top of them not having the overnight oats after specifically calling ahead and asking. read more

My son & I, went on a Mom & Son coffee date, this afternoon. We decided to check out MoonGoat's Irvine location. We'll definitely be back...the parking situation alone, makes this location worth the visit (CM location parking lot is CRAZY). This new Irvine location (UCI area) has ample parking, plenty of seating inside & out, friendly baristas, and the coffee is amazing. You can't go wrong with the Churro Latte! read more

One of my favorite places in CM! Good vibe, friendly people. Nice place to work. Always some tasty treats.

The service was great and there were friendly I personally just did not enjoy the coffee. It had a great energy inside and there was a great selection to choose from I wish I had gotten something else so I can't blame them for that, but the coffee was not very good in my opinion. read more

Love the Matcha Latte!! Coffee is awesome too! Had the Americano last time and it was perfect. read more

I went here months ago and thought the the coffee was delicious. Today I wanted to treat myself and ordered a decaf churro latte and it was HORRIBLE. I don't think i've ever had worst coffee aside from a gas station but that wasn't nearly $10.... I think ordering decaf it either wasn't fresh or just burnt. Super disappointing and waste of money. read more

Most disgusting coffee I have ever had! The banana one did not even take like coffee yuck

Michelle is the absolute BEST! I've never enjoyed going to a coffee shop to work, more than I have at MoonGoat. Before leaving for school, the staff gave me a goodbye card and every time I come back to OC I look forward to going here and seeing everyone read more

I wanted to not like this coffee as much as I did. Walking up I was like oh god is this going to be one of those places that focuses on the vibes and not the flavor of the coffee. I was wrong the espresso was amazing. My only complaint was the lack of pastries early in the morning. Friendly service! read more

I used to go out of my way (a 40 min drive) to get their iced mocha latte. Unfortunately, the customer service and quality of the coffee today just made them to lose me as a customer. The cashier was distracted and input my order incorrectly. I asked for a 12 oz but I got an 8 oz which wasn't even filled to the top! I saw the barista use up the rest of the almond milk and I guess it was too difficult to open up another carton to top off my order. On top of that, the coffee was just...mid. read more

MoonGoat Coffee Roasters - I paid $7 for 5/6 of a drink. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

This coffee shop misses the mark when it comes to quality coffee and service. I ordered a cold brew with vanilla syrup from this establishment. The verdict? The syrup tasted like plastic and the oat milk tasted stale. It seems odd to charge $1.35 for sugar-free syrup, too. Overall, my drink didn't taste good so I had it remade. When I tried their iced mocha, it tasted like carpet. So, I went to the cashier and said I'd be willing to pay extra for an alternative drink. In response, she charged me $8 for the matcha beverage. I spent around $18 in total for these drinks plus a chocolate cookie that tasted disgusting. Will not be returning. read more

I love this place. Good coffee and some good breakfast items. The seating outside is particularly nice and completes the experience. Cortisone was excellent but the Gibraltar was the best. Looking forward to coming back here. read more
