    Iced Churro Latte and Biscuits Benedict
    Diana C.

    I came with a big group of friends. Parking was a little complicated. We had to park across the street in the parking structure and then remember to get parking validation before we left. The restraunt itself is very big and aesthetically pleasing with lots of glass and plants. I had the Iced Churro Latte and the Eggs Benedict. They were both okay. I was not a huge fan of the Churro Latte. It lacked the cinnamon flavor that most Churro Lattes have and it tasted watered down. It looks like the only cinnamon flavoring came from the sprinkled cinnamon on top of the drink. The Eggs Benedict were also okay. Nothing special with the sauce. The dish also does not come with any sides. Overall, I do not think I will come back here again any time soon. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but the food and parking situation was disappointing for me. There was also a huge wait time to receive your food.

    Service was great--the employees were friendly, and the interior was clean, organized, and welcoming. The drinks, however, were a big miss, which was such a bummer. I ordered the Hojicha Latte, and it tasted very watered down. The color was also much darker than I expected, which made the drink even more disappointing. My coworker ordered a matcha latte and asked for vanilla to be added, but they accidentally added it to my drink instead. Unfortunately, her matcha also tasted off. Overall, the customer service was excellent, but the drinks didn't live up to our expectations. I was really looking forward to an afternoon pick-me-up, so it was disappointing.

    The myth on the origin of coffee speculates an Ethiopian goat herder noted his goats at red cherries from a small bush. Instead of sleeping through the night, they bleated at the moon until it set. Chewing some of the cherries himself, the goater found himself quite energetic. He brought the fruits to a monastery. The monks thought the fruit was from the devil and cast them into a fire. The aroma of roasted coffee cherries intoxicated the monks and they steeped the now brown cherries in Holy Water. This is the story of the Moon Goats. Now what is more satisfying than a delicious pour over? Combine that with an authentic southern biscuit and you've bought yourself a quick entry into nirvana. Very nice ambiance in Moongoat. You can purchase any of the plants in the shop. I even saw a family with children carrying books to read whilst they relaxed and had their coffee and pastries. How nice to see children not using a phone to keep themselves disengaged from their parents. That's the kind of crowd the comes to Moongoat. I like the tables that are reserved for people that are actually dining, not just using the store as an office to conduct business.

    Such an aesthetically cute & unique open-air greenhouse cafe. It's so serene and pretty inside. I can see why people would love the chill vibe ~ to have a coffee date or do some work/studying here. Located just around the corner from the 24 hour Fitness that I workout at and not too far from SCP, between Anton Blvd. & Park Center Dr ~ Moongoat Greenhouse is an inviting, open space offering coffee, teas, signature breakfast & pastries. There is ample amount of seating (inside and out) and the greenhouse vibe will have you so relaxed, esp. with the natural sunlight shining through. There is minimal parking spots out front, as I was lucky to snag the last open one. Otherwise, is are more parking across the street (not sure if you could get it validated or what the cost would be). The staff is super chill & friendly, but it takes a hot minute for your drinks & food to come out..so heads up, if you are in a hurry. My sissy & I happened to stop by, after our Friday workout, to meet & catch-up w/ a friend. I opt'd for the iced strawberry watermelon matcha w/ cold foam and it was deelish. The freshly whisked matcha was perfectly sweetened with their housemade strawberry watermelon syrup ~ not overly sweet at all. I got it soy milk (my fav option) and it was topped with their strawberry watermelon cold foam. The watermelon flavor was light, as I tasted more strawberry matcha. Something totally different, yet they work so well together. I wasn't uber hungry yet, but the ham & cheese croissant was just calling to me. Lol It was flakey, buttery, and super cheesy. Enough to share. Yumsss! Such a cute RxFoodie find & recommend!!! Would definitely come back. :)

    Matcha latte with almond milk
    Gina K.

    Wow! Moongoat is right across from the Marriott hotel, where I was staying. It opens early which was perfect for me, an early riser. The restaurant is located in a cute area with office building and gorgeous western courtyard that you can take your meal to go and eat out in or on their patio. I am a matcha lover. I get a matcha where ever and whenever I can at breakfast. This hot matcha latte was perfection!!!!! The milk to matcha ratio was on point and was just the right level of warmer to sooth the soul, and not burn your mouth. Add on the beautiful design and you have a lovely way to start any day. I ordered the delux avocado toast which came with a hard boiled egg, bacon and arugula on top. It incredible was fresh tasting. It would have used a bit of black pepper and salt but over all delicious. Whenever I have another work trip out here, I will be making a point to enjoy the matcha latte and avocados toast at Moongate greenhouse!

    Aesthetic of this cafe is immaculate Love the high ceilings and open space Has both coffee tea and food it's available I got to try their toasted matcha which is pretty much a hojicha latte, it was good but I think their drinks are a lil inconsistent coz my friend got the same thing and hers was much darker than mine and mine was very milky Overall good spot to meet up with friends or do work

    Churro latte
    Nayiri M.

    The ambiance is great! I love the interior of this location. Lots of room to hang out or work. There is outdoor seating as well. Service was helpful in recommending a drink. The churro latte was delicious. I got it half sweet and in a ceramics cup. The only downfall is parking. There is only 20 minute parking in the front which is good for grab and go but if you plan to hangout more than 20minutes you need to pay for parking or park at south coast plaza and walk over. Only a few blocks but still not convenient. If parking was better, I would go more often.

    I stopped by Moongoat Greenhouse on my way to work and was very impressed! I'd been to the other Moongoat Costa Mesa location- this one seems far superior. More than anything what I noticed was there is SO much room to study/work. This place seems perfect for college students, meetings, etc. There is a gorgeous 'greenhouse' high glass ceiling. It feels like you are in an arboretum. There is extensive seating much room to study (inside and outside)! The ambiance is lovely to get work done + free WiFi/ variety of seating options from tables to benches to couches to patio chairs. I got the iced churro latte which was delicious!

    Vanilla Latte
    Robert H.

    Great coffee spot that also has some food options. Solid service, very accommodating and efficient. Great seating area inside and outside. Patio on a nice day is a winner

    Loaded avocado toast
    Sherring G.

    Loved it here! Such a cute place to take a break or get work done. Got an a black americano, a drip coffee that I poured onto ice, and a loaded avocado toast. Everything tasted SO good! You can tell that the beans were freshly roasted. No bitter taste. We were greeted with smiles when we walked in and staff was able to answer any questions about the menu we had. It was a little bit of a wait. No longer than most places. There are very few parking spots up front but we came early when they opened so there was a lot of parking across the street. Make sure you validate at the register so you don't have to pay for parking!

    Churro Latte Vanilla Latte

    My friend suggested we try out Moongoat Greenhouse because we were in the area, and I didn't know this place existed and was so close to South Coast Plaza! Parking is validated when you pay, so don't worry about paying to park. The atmosphere is so cool inside, it's in a greenhouse as the name implies but the way it's set up perfectly compliments the housing. He got the vanilla latte while I got the churro latte. He liked his, but I wish I went for something in the matcha section. I'm not too fond of coffees, and I saw this listed under the Milky Way section, so I assumed it wasn't coffee based, but rather just a milk based drink? I probably should have asked, but for a latte, I didn't think it was too bad! It wasn't too strong, but I don't see the churro aspect too much.

    Me and hubz are on a coffee date kick lately. We heard of Moongoat in Costa Mesa. Can I start off that the aesthetic of the place is so cute-- love the greenhouse vibe. It has me wanting to bust out my laptop, soak up some sun and have a cold brew. Service so friendly and quick. Our barista provided solid recommendations. I just went with a cold brew and a cold foam. A bit bummed they didn't have different cold foam options but still solid. Hubby got a matcha which was delicious. They also have food ( breakfast and pastry options) which looks absolutely delicious and decently priced. Overall, popular spot in the Costa Mesa area and for good reason too. I will definitely be back more than once!

    Beautiful location. I normally visit the drive thru Laguna location but this moongoat is my favorite. So open and plenty of seating. Delicious Vanilla latte which is my go too

Inside is a café inspired by natural accents with an industrial flair giving a rustic character with modern style. The vibe inside is chill with plenty of seating for groups or singles. They also have an outdoor area with covered seating surrounded by plants. The menu delivers just as much appeal as the setting. They have an expansive list of coffee, tea, and lattes with several modifiers to choose from. To accompany your drink the menu provides options of sandwiches, bagels, and a variety of pastries. I had the smoked salmon bagel, featuring delicate slices of salmon layered over cream cheese spread, topped with capers and fresh chives. This is my go to for coffee houses that offer it. The bagel exceeded my expectations and I believe the chive's subtle flavor complemented the smoked salmon really well. For drinks we tried the chai and hot chocolate. The iced chai latte was smooth and not too sweet with a dusting of cinnamon on top, but I would rate it average in taste. The hot chocolate was deliciously velvety and detailed beautifully. I would rate it a five out of five! The difference at this coffee shop is that you can choose from a range of seating arrangements and have an opportunity to support the business by picking up clothing, a bag of coffee or other merchandise. The con for this coffee shop is that the beverages are somewhat undersized relative to the price point. In addition, the customer service experience fell short. We were greeted upon entering, but it was unclear where customers should retrieve their order or whether orders numbers were called out. With that said, those looking for a quiet morning coffee or a cozy place to catch up with friends, this spot can accommodate.

It just came off rude. I love this place and these are our favourite beans but just really crappy feeling as a local customer.
