    Came by on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too packed, but the line moved a little slowly since there were only two people working. Honestly, it was worth the wait. I got the honey cinnamon latte, one of their specialty drinks, and it was easily one of the best lattes I've had in a while. The balance of sweetness and cinnamon was perfect without being overpowering. The shop itself is really nice inside with plenty of seating. I could definitely see myself bringing my laptop and spending a few hours studying or working here. The only downside is the parking situation. There are only about eight parking spots right in front, so it feels a bit limited. That said, I didn't have any trouble finding a spot during my visit.

    Food menu

    The Neat One with housemade vanilla syrup: 3/5. This was an ok iced latte. Kinda milky, almost bland, but I did taste a subtle vanilla flavor. It wasn't super sweet, though I would've enjoyed it more if it had more flavored syrup and/or a stronger coffee presence. The barista who took my order was chipper and patient. Since straws were apparently behind the counter since they haven't gotten around to restocking the self-service area, I requested one for my iced latte. Those straws weren't individually wrapped, so it grossed me out when the barista handed one to me with her bare hands. It's a cute shop with minimalist, modern vibes. Barely any parking there, so we parked a block away and walked over to its little nook. They also sell a variety of roasted beans, and we liked the Pantan Sinaku Indonesia beans from Dune Coffee Roasters. If I were to come back, I'd try the Shakerato, as it seems to be consistently crowd-pleasing.

    I always love this spot and the summer menu is AMAZING. The cinnamon toast is a must- truly life changing. Super cute inside and they are always hosting events for the community! Can be hard to park but ITS WORTH IT!

    Amazing coffee close to the beach with a very cozy and tight knit neighborhood feel! Their ceramic mugs are super cute and the baristas are very friendly. Drinks are the perfect amount of sweetness and I'd highly recommend any of their seasonal lattes or their matcha!

    Espresso, soft yoke egg and gf/df really yummy bread toasted with olive oil and chunks of sea salt.
    Sunny Q.

    Super friendly service, excellent coffee, relaxing atmosphere and good food! I had an espresso, gf/df toast with olive oil and salt, and egg. Simple food but the toast was so good! Kinda like shepherds bread with crunchy thick crust and doughy chewy middle. The big pieces of what looked like sea salt was just right with a drizzle of olive oil on top. The soft yoke egg went perfectly with every bite of the toast! Will come again!

    Almond milk latte

    Stopped by while I was in the area for the DMV. Neat was a quick 3 minute walk down the alleyway and is tucked into a small parking lot. Once inside, the space was fairly open and there was a fair amount of seating, but most tables we're full when I arrived Everybody behind the counter was super friendly and I got my order really quickly. My cold almond milk latte was good and rich. It had a bit of an acidic finish probably from the beans that were used.

    Banana Bread, Bliss Ball, Decaf Latte, and Americano

    My sister and I went on another cafe spree as we both sought to finish up on our studies. The chosen cafe of interest has been Neat Coffee. We ordered the following *Decaf latte with oatmilk $7 *Americano (iced) $4 *Banana Bread - Rye Goods Dark Choclate Chip Banana (contains coconut) $6 *Bliss Ball GF Cookie Dough $3.75 You'll walk in feeling cozy. Our server's name was Grace, and she was so kind. All the people working here are kind. There is a good amount of seating inside to study. It may be a bit harder to find outlets, but just be ready to rotate around tables if need be. I appreciated the aesthetics that were all so seamlessly put together to present a Neat Cafe experience. They provide Wifi and a 10% discount if you arrive on foot, bike or board! God bless you all.

    We are here working all the time they have really great Wi-Fi coffee and vibes. Their shakerato is my favorite drink. It's not too sweet and the caffeine level is just right. I've also tried their strawberry Matcha- incredible. A tip - If you want something less carb heavy ask for their burrito as a burrito bowl which comes without the tortilla and if you like spice get the spicy aïoli - that sauce is to die for! they have a cute little patio area as well and the space while it seems small fits a lot of people the only major con about this place is that the parking lot fits may be only eight or 10 cars total so be prepared to walk and park and find street parking if you come at very busy times

    Cute place! Outside seating looks cute. Got oat milk cappuccinos, pretty good would come back

    Shakerato
    Tejal K.

    Absolutely love this coffee shop!! The staff are so friendly, kind & want to have a real conversation with you! My go to coffee is the Shakerato! I would go back for it everyday if my wallet allowed it haha Quality of the coffee is top tier - perfect balance of bold flavor & sweetness. There is plenty of inside seating and some outside seating. It's a good spot to work but there are limited outlets.

    Shakerato

    I live so close to Neat but haven't gone! Today I decided to walk in and I loved it!!!! First off customer service is exceptional!! The interior is beautiful and the coffee is amazing!!! I tried the shakerato and I enjoyed it!!!! Definitely will be coming back!

    Vanilla Matcha Latte
    Crystal H.

    Very clean aesthetic, I love the vibes inside. The three word/s for this vibe would be spring/fall, soft mood, and delicate. We ordered the Vanilla Matcha Latte Iced and the Shakerato plus a Blueberry Vegan Donut. The Cashier recommend the Shakerato as one of the popular drinks ordered. Come and try them out ^^ Everything tasted great and can't wait to come back for more!

    If you're looking for good coffee, this is a great place. However, I am super big on first impressions and this one didn't hit the spot. I came here with a friend to work on a project. Upon arrival, there was a little to no line at the register. My friend and I hopped in line and waited about 10 minutes for the barista to finish a conversation that she was having with the person in front of us who seemed to be her friend. As someone that's big into customer service, I believe that serving your customers and making sure they're not having to wait is a huge priority. As soon as our order was taken, we got our coffee quickly and we're able to work on our project using the coffee shops Wi-Fi. They had plenty of tables and room for us to sit and set up. Their bathrooms were kept clean and organized. Overall, this is a good coffee shop just maybe not the best experience.

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

We waited outside by the pick-up window after ordering. Service was fast for the doughnut and my coffee, but they seemed to forget about my husband's cold brew, so I had to ask about it after a few minutes of waiting. Not a big deal, just was surprised it took so long when it was such an easy order! We both enjoyed the buttery/salty doughnut, and my coffee was delightful! However, my husband said the cold brew was just okay and it was packed with ice to the point you couldn't stick the straw in the lid. Overall, our first experience at this location was good, and we'll definitely be back to try more of Sidecar's delicious doughnuts! Might pass on the cold brew though!

Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.
