    Breakfast THE SAUSAGE ONE (Burrito)
    Jacob F.

    Rating: 4 / 5 I recently visited nudae and overall had a great experience. The atmosphere was great i loved the records on the walls. The place felt clean and spacious and the overall vibe was perfect for meeting with friends or doing some work. I ordered the puka pandan matcha and the breakfast burrito and it was quite good! The flavors were fresh and the matcha tasted good the presentation was ok. For the price, I felt the experience was worth it. Portions were decent and I would say overall worth the price. Service was good they were quick friendly and professional.

    I ordered the Perfect Company and omg this is the best vanilla iced latte ive ever had. It's mixed with cinnamon and mild cardamom flavors and it's so perfectly balanced (as the name says). It's not overly sweet, not too milky, and the taste of the espresso is present which is a huge (HUGE!!) must for a good latte. And Nudae definitely delivers. Baristas are also kind and friendly, and the drinks come out pretty fast. Doesn't get too busy despite me being here on a Sunday afternoon. Would definitely come again!

    Zesty Bestie

    I've been into tonic espresso lately, and when I saw tonic Matcha on the menu, I definitely wanted to try. I've been campaigning all around OC trying to find my new go-to coffee shop and this place ranks easily in my top three. I started with the zesty Bestie, which was a delicious blend of quality Matcha tonic and other ingredients that made it a perfect balance. I also got a breakfast burrito with just egg and cheese, which was phenomenal. The only thing that is a pain point is how busy they are. Even with me placing my order 20 minutes through DoorDash when I got there I still had to wait about 15 minutes for my order to be ready. Other than that, it's a pretty solid place that will definitely be one of preferred places since it's close to me.

    Chicken Cesar Wrap
    Sandra L.

    1. Don't come here for matcha (there's a million other better options in OC) this was my least favorite. They pre-mix their matcha in advance, so it is in a squeeze bottle. Matcha and the milk begin to separate after 20 - 30 seconds of just sitting there. I do like that they make their almond milk from scratch, that's cool. 2. Chicken Cesar wrap is good / dec. Nice grill marks on the tortilla, tastes like they actually season the chicken, just still feels like it is lacking something, not sure what. Side note: Would love it if they could offer a 2 oz side of Cesar dressing, especially if you're just buying one wrap. Charging almost $4 for a side of sauce because it is in a 4oz container is a little absurd to me. No one needs that much sauce for one wrap. No problem with paying for a side of sauce just consider providing the smaller option so it's not a complete waste. The dressing is good, I will give them credit for that. 3. Staff seem really chill and nice, it is also a chill place to get some work done.

    Iced choco chai
    Norma D.

    Love this coffee & food spot! My favorite is the iced choco chai and spicy cucumber toast. Delicious . Who knew adding the Asian twist on the avocado toast would be so good, I had to come back as soon as I came back to the OC. It's so unique and flavorful. If you're here you need to try. The only drawback is the parking is so limited and it's a very busy shopping strip so bring your patience. But totally worth it

    It hurts to give this place a one star because it has been on my list for awhile and I had heard good things about it. When I was reading the reviews, people were raving about the salted Caramel matcha so I got that. When I saw the color, I was worried and when I tasted it, my worry was confirmed. It didn't taste like matcha at all. I got some hints of caramel but it tasted watered down more than anything. I was disappointed just because people were raving about it, but I've had better matcha in OC. My boyfriend got the iced salted caramel latte and he said it was okay, nothing special. He didn't end up finishing it. I paid $16 for both with tip and for us to not like it and lack quality, it was unfortunate. We want to come back to try the burrito which people rave about too but we are unsure right now if we want to come back

    Pretty good size but the taste was okay. Tasted better without the Caesar dressing surprisingly.

    I'm obsessed with Nudae right now!! Once I tried their Puka Pandan I couldn't stop coming back. I desperately need to try their lattes though!! Also always the kindest, most personable service! They give great suggestions and truly care about this place! Decent amount of seating as well & I love the little patio

    nudae breakfast sammy
    Amy T.

    If you're looking for a tasty breakfast on the weekend without having to deal with a crowded brunch line, NUDAE is the spot!! Even though it's primarily a coffee shop, the food is great. The menu isn't very large but they execute the items well. The breakfast sammy the NUDAE way was on a soft sweet challah bun and perfectly sauced. I loved the pickled peppers that came on the side, they added the perfect fresh spicy crunch. The chicken caesar wrap had the perfect amount of dressing and I loved the gochugaru croutons, it adds a layer of flavor that sets this apart from the typical chicken caesar wrap. Unfortunately I had already had a drink elsewhere that morning but I will definitely be back to try their matcha!!

    One of my favorite spots! The staff is friendly, the drinks are delicious and the food is tasty. I always crave it :)

    Ferrero Roche (hazelnut) and seasonal black sesame drink. Both meh
    Anna T.

    We were in the neighborhood for our auto tint and wanted coffee. This has been on my list for quite some time and decided to head here for coffee and somewhere else for breakfast. They do serve food here tho! They had a special seasonal menu and we ordered it from there. I had to get their infamous ferrero rocher and it definitely tasted like a ferrero rocher hazelnut drink. The other one was a black sesame drink that tasted like what it sounded. Both were pretty mid for me. Very.... How do I put this.. American coffee. Interesting flavors but nothing wow about it. Bland and meh imo. Pretty popping spot tho. Lots of people already at the shop early in the morning. Parking lot was decent size. Only a few parking spots right in front but lot is decent.

    Salted caramel latte with matcha
    Cindy N.

    Wow, this spot was busy on a weekend! I can see that this a local favorite. I ordered the salted caramel latte with matcha and it was SO yummy and sweet! I'd love to try their other matcha drinks. It's a cute spot but pretty small and not a ton of seating. I'll come back on a weekday to try their other drinks. Thank you NUDAE!

    Nudae is located in a small strip mall with plenty of parking, near a quiet residential neighborhood and a hop, skip and a jump away from the beach. I swung by at 6:35am and there were already some regulars and people waiting for their drinks. Speaks a lot to how loved Nudae is! About 5 tables for seating and 2 benches and a fridge for oatmeal and other treats. I got the seasonal spring menu drink, Pistach-Me-Outside and it was really lovely and creamy! Got my friend one of the caramel lattes and she loved it as well. I love this location for its proximity to the beach or just a quiet morning stop.

    Is it possible to order online or call ahead?

    You can only order on-line by doing a Google Search: Nudae Coffee. Then click on "Order On-Line". They said we will be able to order from their website soon. They do not take phone orders.

    Can I bring my cats here? I have two savanah/bengal cats that I take with me everywhere. They are in a stroller and hypoallergenic. Curious your take on animals inside the store.

    Hi! Although we are animal friendly, we unfortunately cannot have pets hanging out in the shop due to health codes. Thank you for asking!

    Does Nudae require masks to enter, or is this just incorrect on Yelp?

    No we don’t require mask.

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.

The front parking is supposed to be "20 mins only" and then if those 6 spots are full then you have to park in the parking garage across the street. Make sure to get it validated!!

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!

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.
