    Reviews With Photos - Moongoat Greenhouse

    Sandy N.

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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

    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!

    Matcha Latte, Iced Tea, and Cold Brew

    I have seen this spot all over media, but what really brought me here was OC Restaurant Week! We saw their Restaurant Week menu online, and decided to give it a try. They had 2 separate menus for Restaurant Week, one that was $25 and another at $30. The only difference is you an affogato at the end of the meal. We ended up getting one of each. Of the options, here is what we ordered: $25 Menu: Cold Brew: Normal cold brew. They have sweeteners and such on the side if you would like to adjust. Chicken Lettuce Wraps: These were delicious! It comes with 3 wraps and a side of sauce. They chicken was moist and the lettuce was fresh and crispy. Side sauce was a bit spicy, almost like a chili oil? Not the traditional lettuce wrap, but definitely a great starter. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup: The grilled cheese here was one of my favorites! It was nice and crispy, but not hard. Cheese was perfectly melted with a good pull to it. Soup was average and we did not make too much of a dent in it other than to dip the grilled cheese. $30 Menu: Iced Tea: Regular unsweetened ice tea, again adjustable on your own with the sugars and such they have on the side Roasted Carrots: carrots were a bit too soft for my liking. It was a bit sweeter than expected, but still good cinnamon flavor to it. Wish it had a bit more char to it though Cuban Sandwich: was very soft and moist, unlike a lot of other dry sandwiches I have had in the past. I would say it was a bit too peppery for me. Did not eat the entire thing because of it. Vanilla Affogato: The ice cream in this was sooo good! They did pour over a hot shot of espresso and it melted the ice cream, making it so creamy and delicious. I am not the biggest espresso fan, but this one was good!! Wish they had a matcha option. Matcha Latte: Ordered the smallest size of this on the side with vanilla syrup in it. Felt like it was a bit pricey for the size and flavor was just average. Nothing too special abut this one. After our meal, we hung out and got some work done. It is a beautiful workspace with a ton of glass and seating. Did not seem to crowded today, so there were plenty of open seats, most of them with chargers nearby in case you needed a quick charge. I would have to say that parking here is difficult. It is in a business complex and the spots right in front are only 20 minutes. I'm for sure coming back to make this another go to work space, but for sure the drinks are just average from what I have tried.

    I'm not gonna lie, this place is mainly 100% for the greenhouse, the food is honestly expensive for what it is, and the drinks are very mediocre I got the dulce de leche latte, and I also got a churro latte at another occasion, and honestly, it was just OK. You're mainly paying for the greenhouse. The only reason why this place was worth going to is because they validate parking down the street at the parking structure. I was looking for tables to sit at, but they were all mostly pretty dirty. There was a lot of staff working, but they were just in the kitchen area talking to each other, but the cashier was pretty nice at least

    The view and vibes? Amazing! The drinks? Terrible! Every time I've come this place has been packed- doesn't matter what time of the day or day of the week, the people love a good open, airy coffee shop. And the interior makes up for it all. Plenty of different types of seating! (big tables, comfy chairs, high tables, etc) The drinks, however, awful. Taste like watery milk. I've gotten the masala chai latte and it was so watery, I never drank it. I've also gotten the matcha (iced and HOT) and it was so mid. You can add sweetener but then it just makes it taste so fake. Idk why everything just taste watery. Parking is across the street and only for 2 hours which is a real bummer. Have to repark if you plan on spending the whole day there and that's tricky because the moment you leave, someone will take your spot.

    Another day, another coffee shop…read more Heard great things about MoonGoat so was excited to try today. Saw valet parking and got nervous but the guy just told me where to park. Super easy. When you enter, the location is huge! Tons of tables and seating. Nice! People are working, hanging out, and enjoying their food and drinks. I ordered a churro latte half sweet and a deluxe avocado toast. The latte was delicious. Sweetness level was just right for me. I don't like super sweet drinks. The avocado toast was also great. There was so much flavor from the egg and bacon and seasonings. It was a little hard to eat out of the to go container, but I made it work. It could easily be shared depending how hungry you are. I love that I didn't feel rushed here. It seems they expect people to come and hang out for awhile. Can't wait to return! I'm eyeing the biscuit and a matcha next time.

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's conveniently located in Old Town Tustin with street parking available, although there was some construction during my visit, so I had to park a bit farther away.

The cafe itself is on the smaller side, with only a handful of tables indoors, so it's probably not the best spot if you're looking to camp out and work for a few hours. There are also a few tables outside for additional seating. The cafe is connected to a small market that sells specialty items and fun merchandise like tote bags, giving the space a unique charm. As for the drinks, I really enjoyed the iced mocha, it was rich and satisfying. The vanilla latte was good, but I was hoping for a little more vanilla flavor. Overall, I still think this cafe is worth checking out, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!
