Wanted coffee after doing some local shopping and found this place tucked away. Nice calm vibe inside and good latte selection. The PB latte is Delisg. Parking can be a little dodgy but shouldn't be a problem finding parking nearby. The batista was really chill and helpful. Bookmarked. read more

Not my cup of coffee, let me tell you in this economy a cup of coffee is double what it used to be so it says a lot when right after my husband and I took a sip of their lattes it was so bad we couldn't even finish. End up tossing it away and went somewhere else to waste off the bitter taste of those drinks. read more

This place never disappoints the drinks are consistently made perfect every time. The baristas are welcoming and provide great service.

Neat is my favorite coffee shop. Their coffee is the best in town (Baker Street is bomb!) , and everyone is so nice and welcoming. They've created an awesome space and sense of community. Very grateful for Neat. read more

Neat Coffee has been a coffee screenshot in my phone for 3 years already. At last, I was able to give Neat a try. Neat's location is kind of hidden and small. They do have their own building with parking spots available, no shared space. Their menu is simple, it honestly helps me from being very indecisive. My girl and I ordered an Iced Honey Cinnamon Latte and their seasonal Peanut Butter Cookie Latte both Breve (Half&Half). We have found that we prefer half and half instead of whole milk for our lattes. You could really taste Neat's espresso and syrups. They did not disappoint at all, we were able to get out our morning fix! read more

I ordered the pb latte and it was definitely unique in the best way. There is limited parking but you can parking in the surrounding neighborhood. There is plenty of seating to enjoy your coffee and and read a book or get some work done. read more

Loved this little hidden gem , a bit hard to find but so worth it ! They close early but good for a morning coffe run

An aesthetic cafe in Costa Mesa. Love that they host pop ups for small vendors on their storefront. Finding parking is a major downside though... I ordered their February special which I forgot the name of but would recommend. My sister ordered their matcha but it was too bitter and she said it was diluted. Loved the vibes and would visit again if in the area! read more

Unfortunately my worst drink experience :-( Was so excited to try the strawberry matcha but the drink just tasted like smuckers strawberry jam with milk. My friend also got the matcha latte (no sweetener) and I'm not sure if it was the almond milk but it truly tasted spoiled, we couldn't even force ourselves to drink more than two sips. We switched it out for oat milk, and the drink didn't get any better (but at least it didn't taste as spoiled). Their lattes I've tried in the past were good, but now I'm skeptical of the new(?) milk they use read more

came and got a strawberry matcha with their house made almond milk, it was good and the strawberry jam was perfect and you could taste that it was real strawberries. their matcha is a ceremonial grade matcha which was phenomenal BUT i wish he made it a little stronger. the service was good and quick. the overall vibe of the coffee shop was very chill and could be a good place to work a little. read more

Cute neighborhood coffee shop. Staff is very friendly. I really like the indoor seating and decor, but I love their outdoor space - lots of picnic tables for seating, a space with toys for kiddos to play, and a ping pong table. My go-tos are the Baker Street for a hot drink, the Shakerato for an iced drink, any of the baked goods they offer, and their toasts. I typically get half-and-half toast with one pan con tomate and one avocado (the best avocado toast and the only one I've ever had that's worth the price). I especially love the community aspect that Neat and its owner/staff cultivate. There are great pop-ups, thoughtful events, and an incredibly fun weekly run club. I hate running. Absolutely hate it. But I go to this one because of the people. Neat is beyond neat. read more

Neat coffee did not work out for me ...space inside is very very small I felt cramped and uncomfortable ... I decided not to stay ..

Matcha color was great but that taste was very watery :(. I think they use too much water in their matcha so it wasn't very flavorful or creamy from the milk. Service and staff were great though! read more

Loved the pour over. Anaerobic natural fermented. The service was friendly and genuine.

#77 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I've been hearing good things about Neat Coffee so I decided to stop by recently. I actually drove right on by the first time because the shop is tucked away in the middle of a neighborhood and the parking lot is small and hardly noticeable until you're driving past the lot entrance. Anyways, after circling around and parking nearby, I walked on over. The shop itself is clean and cute, and service was friendly. Sadly, the coffee itself was mediocre. I love specialty lattes and ended up ordering the peanut butter latte with oatmilk. Unfortunately I could hardly taste the espresso or the peanut butter so I had to ask for more PB flavor before heading out. I'm not sure if this was a one-off in how my latte was made that day, or if that's how it always is. Either way the coffee was lacking and weak. ********************* My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Will definitely return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around eating here read more

If you're looking for a traditional neighborhood coffee shop, you've finally found it! Starting with the drinks, my typical order here is their Shakerato, which is espresso shaken with ice, maple, sea salt, and topped with oatmilk. TO. DIE. FOR. However, the amazing drinks you can get here are just the surface of how much I love this coffee shop. The service you get here is always so personal and genuine. Every time I have visited, I have always had a very pleasant and friendly interactions with the baristas. As someone with social anxiety, that means a lot to me! Although I haven't met her personally, I have also heard great things about the owner! Even though this place is pretty small, it can seat quite a bit of people! I went a couple times on rainy days, and the lobby pretty comfortably seated 25-ish people. There's also a lot of outdoor seating, which Id definitely recommend on a sunny day. This coffee shop also makes many efforts to connect with the community by holding movie nights, live music, and more. The only inconvenience is the super limited parking, but definitely worth walking the extra block if you need to! read more

So awesome! Love this spot in Costa Mesa. Came here for an avocado toast before a beach day with friends. Also highly recommend the shakarato espresso drink. Employees were so nice and helpful with recommendations. The interior design of the coffee shop is also so cute!! Love! read more

Super sweet staff and excellent customer service! Avocado toast and iced matcha was delicious.

Cute interior! Small parking lot but you can probably find parking in the neighborhood. I appreciate that their menu has more creative drinks. Espresso and tea flavors could have been stronger in the lattes I got, but it was interesting to try new things. Cool selection of 3rd wave beans I don't normally see too. read more

This place is nice. It's kind of tucked away. The parking kind of sucks but the coffee is good and the menu is decent. I have the sweet toast which was really good. read more

Quaint little place I discovered today in Costa Mesa. After a morning workout I wanted some coffee, personally, I like to look to local coffee shops anywhere I am. I stopped by today for just a coffee, but I saw they had some food options and had to go with the classic avocado toast. Apparently the toast comes in a half size and a full size and I think the drinks only come in one size. The shop is on a side street and has a private, but small parking lot. The shop itself is small, but super cute. The ambience is very modern and simple which is nice. read more

I really liked the ambiance inside. The barista was super friendly. I really like seasonal drinks so I got really excited to see the menu of seasonal offerings for the month of October. I immediately gravitated towards the golden latte. It's got turmeric almond milk (didn't even know this existed!), espresso, honey and cinnamon. It was pretty frothy probably from the turmeric almond milk and got a tinge of sweetness from the spices. It was definitely a drink that made you full. I came here to study and noticed only a few plugs so you probably have to get here early for more space. There's also a backyard area that I didn't get to check out but would want to next time! Fair warning: the parking is really limited here read more

I met Ally years ago in Gulu and found out from a friend that she had a coffee shop in Costa Mesa. I wanted to go for a long time but only recently was I close by. Food was really good and of course I'm always looking for a good pour over coffee. This place did not disappoint. A little tucker away and parking can be tricky when busy but worth the stop! read more

I am always on the hunt for cafes in OC and have visited a wholeee lot, most of them are amazing. This one takes LAST place. :( I have actually tried to come here on multiple occasions and there is NEVER parking, not in their lot or on the street. Yesterday there was one spot open on the street so I went in. The inside is cute but (on Tuesday 9am...) packed with people, not a single seat available. I ordered an iced coffee from their speciality menu and honestly it was the worst thing I have ever drank. I do not know if it was their house made almond milk or the honey or whatever they put in it, but I couldn't even force myself to finish it. I literally threw away the $7 thing :') and I've never done that w a latte. It was so bad that I feel like maybe they even made it incorrectly or something I don't know...but even my sisters espresso was a bit cold? I don't know how it stays packed every week, really thought it would be a cool hidden gem but def not. Will not be coming back for sure and thank god cause parking is a nightmare lol. read more

This place was hidden but a hidden gem small parking lot but I got in and out easily(it was around 730am). My boss wanted whatever I was getting and oat Will was her only request so I got 2 of the January special Shakerato - iced maple, sea salt and oat milk w/espresso & it was yummmy ! I'm not a maple fam but it was very subtle and with the sea salt not as sweet as I was expecting. Def will be back for next months special read more

My avocado toast the first time was perfect, like in the picture I took from my first visit last week! Today I got the same thing and I even brought my friend to try it because I was raving about it. Today I got avocado toast without all the little fixings on top and way too much lemon. Toast was also really over done. So sad :-( read more

I'm addicted. I know because I now mention this place to pretty much everyone in casual conversation. Goes like this: Me: Do you like cute coffee shops? Friend: why yes of course! Me: you have to go to Neat Coffee. It's incredible! Friend: where's that? Me: off 19th and Pomona. Go slow off Pomona or you can miss it! Friend: what should I get? Me: I'm absolutely addicted to the golden latte and avocado toast with egg. The sweet toast is also delicious. Honestly try everything! Friend: I can't wait to try it :) If you haven't been, go now! You won't regret it! read more

I'll take it neat, please. Oops, this isn't a whiskey shop, but if you're a whiskey drinker, you get what I mean :) Just like an alcoholic libation, you can get your drink neat, on the rocks, or made any which way here too. Covid hours are brief: 8-2pm. It's got an OC Mart mix vibe: minimalistic classy, retro, and serene. I imagine during non-Covid times, one can enjoy a cup of joe and checking emails on the barstool counter and just watch the cars drive by on Pomona Avenue. My vanilla latte was ultra yummy. They used clover whole milk which gives it that rich creamy texture. The vanilla sweetener was just the right amount - not too sweet so the aroma of coffee could shine through. Another coffee gem in Costa Mesa :) read more
