    Very nice, chill, clean, organized, friendly with good vibe place. Located in Shell gas station and right next to 22 freeway. Very convenient while you get gasoline. Staff are nice and helpful. Plenty of different type of coffee. Got mexi (cinnamon) and its delis. They do have drive through in case too lazy to get out the car.

    Drinks and sandwiches!

    Great location! It's rare to walk into a Human Bean.. they are usually drive thru joints. Love their Iced Muddy (white/dark mocha latte) and their Granita. Great customer service too!

    More locations! Yes!

    Wow! What a great experience! I called in for a question and the staff was so kind and friendly. The place was so clean and cute! Great options for drinks and food! Including these epic chocolate covered coffee beans!!! The coffee was delicious and worth it! They use clean filtered water for all their offerings. Cozy spacious small 2 person seating area with bar suitable for simple work needs on the go. I would definitely recommend The Human Bean!!!

    1. The drink was refreshing! I love the actual fruit bits! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes as it is located at a gas station! The interior is cozy! 3. There are no seatings available! There is a small counter available! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It took about 5 mins! 5. There are few parking spots available! There is a drive-thru option! Note: I did not easily see a restroom available for customers! Photo: Zen Dragon (Seasonal)

    My New Favorite Local Spot! Only minutes from my house, this hidden gem tucked away in a gas station parking lot is a total find! The convenient drive-through makes it super easy to swing by, and the friendliest service ever keeps me coming back. Every drink even comes topped with a delicious chocolate covered espresso bean, such a sweet touch! We tried the Java Chip and Chai Ice Blend, and both were absolutely amazing!! smooth, flavorful, and perfectly made. Easily a 10 out of 10! What I love most is the variety!!! food, coffee, teas, energy drinks, desserts. so many things on the menu I still want to try. They're open from 6 AM to 6 PM, which is perfect for both my morning coffee runs and afternoon pick me ups. Be sure to download the human bean app in the App Store to scan and get points for your order. That way you can accumulate your points and get rewards!! With it being so close to home, I already know this is going to become my daily treat spot. Can't wait to go back and find more favorites!

    Cute, clean, good service. Prices hard to see on menu board (they're not on the small menus). The drink comes with a chocolate covered espresso bean. Barely any parking, but attached to gas station, so you could probably be off to the side if needed. There is also a drive thru. The drink itself was just fine. I tried the icy peppermint mexi (mocha).

    I wish I could give 7 stars Better than Starbucks, better than Dutch Bros, better than Better Buzz - they deserve to have more locations than any chain This was the best experience ever They have a drive thru option which is convenient I've been wanting to come to The Human Bean for months and finally went I don't even know where to start Their menu is sooo wondrous so much to choose from and I love variety Their standard menu on its own is solid But their seasonal a were farrrr to tempting to ignore yum!!! They have so much more variety in snackies and meals The spinach kale croissant was bombbb The standout for me though was the service The NICEST people you will ever meet here It wasn't just one - everyone was so patient, kind, friendly, and the most pleasant people I've ever come across in my life I especially appreciated the recommendations they made upon my asking Truly cannot express how amazing the service here was in words!! To top it all off - everything was deeeelish!!! Overall, I wish there were more locations!!

    What a nice surprise! Service was quick, staff was super friendly, and drive thru was clean and maintained. This location was on the back side of the gas station store.

    Ohhh Myyy Gawd! Came here for the first time and got a muddy with 2 shots only since I like my drinks a little sweeter and this is one of the best drinks I have ever had! It was the perfect amount of sweetness and it was creamy as well. The staff is also very friendly and patient. They treat you like a human bean lol. I would highly recommend this spot! Also, the little chocolate covered espresso bean was a cool little touch

    This was my first time trying The Human Bean in Garden Grove. I had heard about other locations but wanted to check out this new local spot. They're located right by a gas station and freeway entrance, and also have a drive-thru! Michelle and Brooke were incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. They helped us find the perfect drinks to match our cravings. Our drinks were made super fast, and when we ordered food, it came out quickly and hot. The prices are great, and there are plenty of options to choose from. I loved how customizable everything was with so many syrup flavors available. I highly recommend trying the Banana Matcha and the spinach, kale & cheese croissant. Definitely a new favorite spot!

    I remember trying the one in Lake Forest and they finally opened the one in Garden Grove. They have a drive thru and I decided to get a drink. They have a wide variety of drinks. It was easy to order. The people were helpful. The drink was tasty and would definitely be coming back.

    Taty's has a lot of unique drinks that you can choose from. I liked everything I got the second…read moretime around. I would come back here. Tip: Don't get crystal boba. I got this the first time and it was very dense and didn't taste good. Drinks are just right in sweetness. Get at least 75% here and don't go too low. * Ube Matcha Latte 4.5/5 - This was tasty, though I wish the ube flavor came across more. It was very understated. I got Osmanthus Mochi Jelly addon and it was yummy, a cross between a grass jelly and mochi texture with a light sweetness. * Mini Breadsticks 5/5 - These were like crispy banh mi. I like that they were protein-packed with pork floss and pate. * Popcorn Chicken 5/5 - Crispy and delicious popcorn chicken. Their spicy level may be a bit high as I ordered mild, but it was more like a medium (maybe it was just the seasonings being concentrated at the top). * Pink Guava Strawberry Tea 5/5 - Very refreshing and sweet drink, hint of guava and strawberry, not strong taste. * Blended Oreo Brulee 5/5 - Creamy, eggy, sweet goodness. It was a real treat. Your mouth is like Oreo-land with bouncy egg custard.

The person helping us was friendly and got our drinks made pretty quickly even with a bit of a line. We got the Double Matcha and the Matcha Einspänner, and both were really well made. The Double Matcha was smooth and rich with a strong matcha flavor that wasn't bitter at all. The Matcha Einspänner was the standout though, that creamy whipped top over the matcha created the perfect balance of rich and refreshing, definitely a unique drink you don't see everywhere. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, and everything felt fresh and well made. Great coffee shop overall, and I'll definitely be back to try more off their menu.

    Best witchy coffee place I've been to! The coffee is crafted…read morewith such love, artistry, and quality ingredients. I asked the barista what the best drink was, they recommended the Scarborough Fair- which has Rosemary and bee pollen. Absolutely crafted by the most skilled of witches I was obsessed with this potion. I want to try all of their drinks. The atmosphere is also fantastic, with a haunted mansion-esque aesthetic, and a little witchy shopping area. Burnt Umbers was started by a husband and wife couple, I met the husband and he was super nice, and the wife does graphic design, they both have wonderful artistic style which is a huge part of why this is the coolest witchy coffee shop probably on earth and with the best drinks.

    Burnt Umber is such a cool coffee shop with a goth-inspired vibe. The ambiance is next level!…read more The customer service was excellent as well. Penny was nice, friendly & answered all of my questions. Drinks are made surprisingly fast, and if you order pastries, they bring them right out to your table. I tried the Vanilla Bean coffee & was genuinely impressed. Not only was it beautifully crafted & absolutely stunning to look at, but it was also delicious. You can tell they put a lot of care into every drink they make. Looking forward to coming back & trying other drinks! Definitely a spot worth checking out!

    I need the recipes, OR to find the distributors for those buttermilk biscuits and Fresno pepper…read morejam. I honestly come to Moongoat because of those things. I like this location more than others because of the bigger parking lot, more seating options (including an upstairs area and outdoor seating), and I've also received better service here compared to other locations. The place is simply decorated, and it honestly is a solid spot if you're looking to crank out some work or meet with colleagues/friends. It does get pretty crowded so it's better to get an early head start if you can, especially on the weekends. In terms of their drinks, my favorite is the blueberry lavender matcha latte. It's on the sweeter side and has a floral aftertaste, but the flavors mix really well together. I typically get their matcha drinks or teas because I'm not a fan of coffee, but my friends that are coffee fiends are fans of the various coffee drinks here. Compared to other cafes, I feel like the cost of the drinks is standard, but the prepared food and pastries are on the steeper side. Still a great spot, I enjoy coming for the atmosphere and biscuits!

    I've been to other locations of Moongoat Coffee Roasters, and I continue to be a fan of the brand…read morebut this location was slightly less satisfying than the products I had at their other locations. The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

    Delicious seasonal matcha! I loved their iced cherry matcha (Spring seasonal item): iced ceremonial…read morematcha with a cherry cream top AND dried cherry bits inside. Full sweetness (agave) was delightful and did not feel overly sweet. Seemed like they use 3 or 4 g of matcha, but not sure (was at least more than 2g). Oat milk is only 50 cents extra, but I got regular milk (I think they use 2%). Interior was clean, forest green and had luxurious leafy vibes with 4 or so tables of 3. There is a bathroom, oddly with a bidet. Located in an older strip mall with varied food offerings. Plenty or parking on a weekday midday. BEWARE: google maps takes you to an alley in back, so just go around the block to the other side. I see why this place was on a reel for top iced matchas in OC. Would recommend, and would like to come back to try the mango matcha latte or even just for this cherry matcha again!

    I hate to leave a bad review because the staff at cuptopia is so kind and I used to love the matcha…read morefrom here but their shop has severely downgraded recently :( I used to absolutely love the matcha from this spot because it was nutty, smooth, earthy and perfectly sweet. I saw that they recently switched to a new powder so I wanted to try. They claim to be using Rocky's matcha, but I used Rocky's matcha at home and it tastes nothing like this! My double matcha tasted like pure grass and was very gritty. I'm not even sure what made it a double matcha because there was no matcha cream or anything on top. So I paid $8 for a bland grassy cup of milk. Cuptopia PLEASE go back to your old matcha ***Edit because that response from the owner is wild hahaha I guess the customer service isn't that great. I did not make a single rude comment about your shop or anything even remotely close to ruin anyone's reputation. All I said was that the matcha blend has downgraded because it has. Yelp is here to share honest opinions and that was mine. And obviously I don't know what was said or ordered because I WAS NOT THERE. He just dropped it off and made no mention of matcha cream not being available, either way $8 is way too expensive for a matcha this quality. I never once said I want to do a collab with your shop he was probably just trying to support me and my page because I enjoy making content and run a fun little matcha page. I have actually made a video/post in the past expressing how much I enjoyed your shop and matcha and it's still accessible on my page but probably not after this interaction. Very odd and rude response for a simple review:/ all I said was the old matcha was better....sorry that struck a nerve.

    I stopped in for what should have been a simple coffee order and left disappointed…read more I ordered two shots of espresso with a little hot water. I wasn't trying to debate what it should be called. I was just ordering my coffee the way I like it. Instead, the conversation immediately turned into being told I was ordering an Americano and that they were going to charge me for one. The funny thing is I never cared what they charged me. I was happy to pay whatever the price was. I just wanted my coffee made the way I asked for it. It felt like they were more concerned that I might be trying to get away with something than simply making a customer happy. A simple, "No problem, we'll ring it up as an Americano," would have been perfectly fine. Instead, the interaction felt unnecessarily argumentative. Hopefully it was just an off day, but customer service matters just as much as the coffee.

If you're local or traveling, I highly recommend the Black Mango Tea (iced with no little to no additives, as it came naturally was my preference). Anyway, I already had my morning cup of coffee and didn't expect to stop by this spot so opted for the tea. Nonetheless, the service is great (always be patient in mornings) don't talk until someone's had their caffeine , etc. Be sure to always follow your local coffee shop etiquette because one of a few locale Cortado Coffee Shoppes in Garden Grove, CA. is what I recommend with 4.8 stars. I'm never a 4.0 student so it's not fair to use a standard 5.0 in ratings because we are not perfect, myself included. All love to Cortado Coffee and stop by for coffee, tea, or a croissant on your way in or out of Disneyland area/O Orange County California area.
