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!

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.

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.

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

Carolina R.

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

Mehul M.

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

Katarina O.

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

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.

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!

An P.

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.

I went here the other day with a coworker to pick up lunch. We both picked up a BAT Sammy. The sandwich was really good and a was thicker thanks to the turkey we added to it. While, the sand which was good it was also really expensive. Plus they charge $3 extra to add the turkey. I really hate when businesses do this. It really makes people not want to come back. We wanted to order ahead since we were in a bit of a hurry. Unfortunately there's a not a phone number or an option to place an order ahead of them. That was frustrating. While the inside was nice with a mix of outdoor and indoor seating, it is a small place. Oh, and the menu changed but it wasn't updated on their website. We had already knew what we wanted only to have to change up our orders when we got there. Is this a good place, yes. It is expensive yes. While their food is good, the prices are still pretty high. read more

Drove from LA to Costa Mesa to check out this new coffee shop! (And, of course, to grab some delicious Viet food nearby). Our first stop here turned out to be a fantastic start to the day, giving me that extra boost of energy. Tried out the strawberry Sundae and the coconut caramel latte - both were amazing, but I couldn't resist ordering another strawberry Sundae . Linh, the owner, and her partner are absolute rockstars - super friendly too! The staff was on point, clearly skilled in running the show. The place has a charming vibe, a cool name, and plenty of parking. A definite must-visit! read more

Aweful service! I am not one to leave bad reviews as I know how hard it is to run a small business, but I also value customer service. I ordered a specialty iced drink but didn't want as much ice as don't like the watered down taste as it takes me a while to finish a drink. I asked politely if the barista could top off with a little extra milk (truly the smallest amount) and she refused which seems crazy when you are paying 7 dollars for a specialty drink. The excuse of mainting the 10oz standard or integrity of drink doesn't work when I asked for less of the syrup and you are happy to do that and no reduction of price and don't say anything about the standard of the drink. Anyway I think they just got me before the caffeine and it seemed such a simple customer service thing to do it got me wired up to post. read more

Been here a couple times and its always something But today is the last visit. I asked for a croissant , un toasted When i get the croissant , it felt like its a day or two old. So i asked them to warm it up. and I got attitude, "I asked if you wanted it heated and you said NO and now you want it heated up" . I told her it feels old , She said we got it today, I said, well it wasnt baked today. Then I got a Iced tea with no Ice, And they handed me a less than half filled cup of iced tea, with a few ice cubes. I told her, there are 50 coffee shops in Costa Mesa, And if you are going to be cheap on Iced Tea . Good Luck ! read more

Cute space with table to chit chat or do work at. Friendly employees. The burrito I got was really good and the red hot sauce added a kick which I enjoyed. However I was disappointed with the quality of the matcha. I normally get my matcha latte with whole milk unsweetened to enjoy the matcha flavor itself. I didn't taste any matcha in mine and was missing that creamy texture. I will come again to try their coffees and maybe the blueberry matcha read more

From the Business

Specialties

From a coffee cart to a local gathering place, NUDAE has naturally grown into a staple cafe for the Costa Mesa community. What began as a passion project between two best friends, our vision for quality coffee and connection transformed into our beloved, real life cafe. From our hearts to yours, NUDAE aims to offer a little something special each time you visit - a friendly smile, a house-made seasonal sip, or just a perfect spot to hang out. NUDAE all day!

History

Established in 2020.

The pandemic was a time of mass shifting and thus perspective, but through it all, we changed the narrative and use the time as an opportunity to build something great: insert NUDAE. We started as a mobile coffee cart which organically grew to serve the community in small and large settings - pop-ups, weddings, corporate events, you name it! Now we have opened our first location in Costa Mesa to serve the community daily!

Meet the Business Owner: Trisha V. and Linh S.

We are Trisha and Linh, a duo team who imagined new beginnings over a cup of of coffee! As a small coffee cart serving private events, we’ve been fortunate enough to have grown that tiny operation into our first brick & mortar. Now we’re serving specialty craft beverages and food in an effort to support second chances. With the help from our neighboring businesses and friends, we're driven to create a space for our community that is inclusive and welcoming! Come on in and hang with the NUDAE team. We can’t wait to serve you!

The wait to sit wasn't too long. If you were interested, they do to-go orders too. For breakfast, I got the eggs and meat order with overeasy eggs and sausage.

I ordered hashbrowns instead of potatoes but was given potatoes. My server was so sweet about the mix-up. Next time I'm back, I'd like to try out the Dutch baby pancake with a side of sausage of course.

We knew for sure we would be getting the Dutch baby to share, but it was the separate entrees we couldn't decide on. Our waitress was super patient while we went through the menu. Boysenberry, Bacon, and Brie Grilled Cheese - If you like boysenberry, this dish will not disappoint you. It was extremely generous with boysenberry jam on it. So much that I actually removed some to try with the Dutch baby. This works very well if you can do sweet and savory flavors together as the bacon brings out a bit of saltiness. Vietnamese Pork and Egg Bowl - My cousin ordered this so I only got a small bite. The pork was so soft and tender. I love grilled pork too, so this tasted amazing. Dutch Baby - We tried a bite of it plain. We like things more on the lighter side, so we were okay with how little sweetness it had. Then we squeezed lemon over it and added powdered sugar like our server recommended and man the lemon was the magic. It's like biting into two completely different things. As plain, it's like a soft and super thing pancake. With the lemon? It really brought out a strong citrus flavor complemented by something fluffy and light.

The mains were great as the chicken was moist and so flavorful that we didn't even need to add any extra sauce to it. They have an indoor and outdoor portion and was a great spot to host an event as they also had a sound system and TVs inside and outside.

OEB Breakfast - Newport Beach

It's not very often that I say this but I'm going to say it now. I may have had one of the top…read moredining experiences of my life. And it came from a breakfast joint, which is super rare in and of itself. Having lived in Southern California for many many years, I thought I had seen and experienced just about everything in the way of good places to eat. As I was driving around looking for some breakfast, I stumbled across oeb breakfast. And I am so glad I did. For starters, when you walk through the door, the place is bright and Cherry and has just the right amount of whimsy. It's neatly laid out and everything is in full view. It only took a moment my server to come get me at the front and direct me to a table. Let's talk about the service. Having been in the food service industry, I know what it takes to have a great dining experience. Caesar, who was my waiter, took care of me in a level that I have not seen in a very long time. Personable, gracious, accommodating, and helpful are just a few of the words I would use to describe my experience being served by him. I asked for coffee and water and within moments it arrived on my table. Side note, the coffee is off the chain! It is a brand called Umbria and it is amazing. After scanning the menu, I opted for the beef bulldogi Benedict with the beef Tallow fries. I asked for the fries extra crispy, and ask for my milk to be served with breakfast. If you've read any of my Yelp reviews on breakfast places, you know that that is one of my litmus tests for the accuracy of the order. If I have to ask for my milk after the meal's been delivered, they're not doing their job. Not that I'm picky, for me. It is just a way to determine how good of a listener the server actually is. It didn't take long at all for the food to be delivered. The presentation was absolutely amazing, as we eat with our eyes. First, I have to say that the way the food was plated was definitely a work of art. Once the food was dropped off half of me was going. I wonder if they will remember... And before I could finish my thought Caesar showed back up with the milk. Home run! The food itself was absolutely wonderful, I cannot remember when I have enjoyed a breakfast as much as this one. All the flavors were there, it was perfectly balanced, and was just a pleasant dining experience overall. Bragging on Caesar again, as I was sitting there, the restaurant started to get very busy, he handled himself with such Grace and poise and didn't let the mounting tension frazzle him. Again, I wish this place was in my hometown so I could come here more often, but you can bet that I will be back here multiple times. Bottom line? There aren't many places that I would tell friends they definitely absolutely had to go to. But oeb breakfast is now on the top of the list for me to recommend to my friends.

A little weird to have 2 pieces of spinach as a garnish. Never seen that before. Potatoes were really good. Can't go wrong with those. Short Rib bowl: 8/10 everything in that bowl were amazing together. Banana Cream Pie French Toast: 4/10 this was a miss for me. Nothing amazing about it. The custard part was off for me. Maybe if it was more of a banana pudding, it would be better with the cream. Didn't really taste like a banana cream pie. Green Machine: 10/10! So good and refreshing Chocolate Milk: needed more chocolate. They gave us a cup with it 1/4 filled because they ran out of milk since it was so busy and never came back with more. I didn't want to bother them and ask them about it, but checked the bill and they only charged us half for it... so we just paid for it and left it as is.

The space definitely gets crowded, especially on weekends, and finding a seat can take some patience.

My recent visit was quite an experience, with a range of impressions that left me both pleasantly surprised and slightly unsatisfied I really enjoyed the cortado here. The blend of espresso and smooth steamed milk, hits my benchmark. The Sunrise burrito was very good, packed with a delightful array of ingredients that made it a standout choice. Choosing carne asada this time brought a bold twist, but I would go back to the basics of just bacon, which still manages to be incredibly satisfying and filling. In addition, the Zab hot sauce enhances the dish with a nice sweet heat of flavor. Unfortunately, not every drink was a success. Regrettably, the matcha did not meet our expectations. Disappointingly, the taste didn't quite live up to my expectations, leaving me unimpressed and unlikely to purchase it again. However, the initial disappointment quickly faded away after experiencing the incredible flavor of their Spicy Cucumber Toast. This delightful combination of fresh cucumber, flavorful spices, and perfectly toasted bread has quickly become my favorite. Nudae has a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its menu. The service is welcoming and attentive, contributing to the inviting atmosphere of the small, cozy space adorned with a few outdoor tables. read more

I stopped by NUDAE, a cute little specialty coffee shop, originally hoping to try their strawberry cheesecake matcha latte. Unfortunately, it was a new season, so the menu had changed. But that just gave me the chance to try something new! I ended up going with the iced Biscoff cookie butter cappuccino and the "Not So Basic" avocado toast, and I was not disappointed. The avocado toast was amazing, definitely worth it! It had a nice, light crisp to it, but not so crispy that it hurt when you bite into it. The pumpkin seeds added a great touch, giving it that extra bit of texture. As for the Biscoff cappuccino, it was pretty good, but the spices were a little strong for my taste. Still, I really enjoyed it overall and can't wait to try more from their menu in the future. read more

Nudae Coffee is my go-to spot whenever I need a great cup and a cozy atmosphere. Their strawberry matcha is hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and so refreshing. If you're more of a coffee purist, the iced Perfect Company coffee is unbeatable--smooth and just the right kick to get you through the day. The vibe is welcoming, the staff is always friendly, and it's a great place to sit back, relax, or get some work done. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a while, Nudae never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

Nudae has a laid-back vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The staff is super chill and always ready with a smile. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a relaxed spot to hang out, this place nails it. The cool atmosphere and easygoing staff make it a top pick for a casual coffee hangout. I enjoyed the Vietnamese Cold Brew--a smooth, naturally sweet experience with a perfect balance of creaminess. The less acidic profile adds to its charm. The diverse menu and daily-made pastries enhance the overall delightful visit. Highly recommend! read more

Happened to visit NUDAE Coffee when my dad's car got a flat tire next to the shop early Monday morning. Not only did they offer assistance with our flat tire, but they also gave us a friends & family discount when we bought their matcha latte. The latte was delicious, the service was spectacular, and their kindness really made our day better after such a rough start. I will definitely remember this moment and visit again! :) read more
