You'll be better off at Starbucks! They will charge you to breathe. And ambiance is used as a storage space. Not comfortable at all. I walked in, got reprimanded for how I wanted my coffee by the loud Mexican lady that has the type of attitude like she owns the world and everyone owes her something, cancelled my order and walked out. Save yourself time and patience and go to the local gas station. Friendlier service at least. Cheers! read more

Love this coffee spot I discovered during pandemic time and it's a staple on my way to visit family. Their coffees are so good They have some amazing booths too you can book to work from or study from. Lattes and pastries are yummy read more

I really liked the matcha here! They have two sizes -- I got the 24oz for about $8 and it was good, goes really well with oat milk. They also have a lot of other drinks and snacks to choose from. The staff were friendly and explained things clearly. Their good vibes actually made my sleepy day so much better. The weather was nice today so I sat outside, took some photos, and just chilled for a bit. The place is really cute inside too. Didn't try the coffee yet but I'm sure it's good. read more

Delicious iced coffee with sweet vanilla foam, sprinkled with cinnamon. Perfection is all I can say on this one. I have had many coffees in my day but if you can find it, it is well worth finding, you will not be disappointed. read more

This is honestly a great place to get work down. There's a lot of seating and outlets. Even outdoor seating! There's a variety of drinks to choose from as well as food items. Drinks and food I would say are 4/5. The workers here are really nice and answer any questions about the menu. I just wish they were open a little later read more

My job got new offices located in Santa Ana, and this coffee shop is close by to us. Due to boss buying us lunch and my coworker grabbing me one yesterday I've tried this place out two times, and have been completely satisfied! I've tried the caramel macchiato iced, and it was the perfect amount of caramel and yesterday I tried La Paz, and I enjoyed that as well. I love how they use crushed ice that DOESN'T melt the coffee! Perfection! I cannot comment on service or ambience (I have not seen it personally) but maybe soon. read more

Good coffee friendly staff lots of seating. Was able to find parking easily. Really liked their seasonal menu

The service was neither good nor bad. The coffee was decent. However, the pricing on the wall didn't match what I was charged. I'm not sure why, but I was charged more even though I didn't add anything or make any substitutions. Even if they charge tax, that doesn't explain the discrepancy. Perhaps they've updated their prices? read more

Lots of parking, lots of seating, but most importantly good tasting coffee. Located in an industrial park so you might miss it. They sell locally roasted coffee. Efficient and friendly service. Free WiFi, clean space, with uplifting music playing. read more

When I worked nearby, I used to come to The Lost Bean Monday through Friday, and it quickly became my go-to café. The staff here is really nice, and I honestly miss seeing them. Their dirty chai was one of my favorites, along with another coffee I can't quite remember the name of, but I always loved it. I never once had a disappointing experience. The service was fast, and the quality of the coffee was consistently great. Such a wonderful café with a welcoming vibe. read more

Cute coffee shop located in an office plaza. Plenty of parking and seating inside and outside. I got a flat white and blueberry scone. The scone wasn't too sweet. Total was $10 for both. The cashier was nice and helpful. read more

I don't love the hours, but had a few days off and was able to try it twice. The second time I went, I ordered an iced monkey latte and an espresso which apparently comes with three shots, but seemed more like one and a half, so wasn't thrilled about paying full price for that. The monkey latte was good and flavorful though. This location was a bit hard to find, as it's nestled in a few orange county buildings, off of Dyer. The barista was friendly and efficient. read more

this place mid. the matcha is very light and not high quality, and 1.25 for oat milk is crazy in this economy. read more

I had better hopes for the iced coffee here because of the pictures I saw online but unfortunately I was unsatisfied. Ordered the La Paz as it was one of the signature drinks on the menu, came out watered down and lacked any coffee flavor actually. Tasted like straight up milk with a splash of coffee. The barista was rushing the drinks since she was closing early at 12 which kinda sucked. Wished they'd put more effort into their drinks read more

The Lost Bean - La Paz signature latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This coffee shop is literally a hidden gem because it's hidden from the main road and faces the opposite direction. It's basically part of a business complex with several office buildings, so it's not your traditional location for a coffee shop either. However, it was super close to my hotel, so I paid them a visit. Once inside, it is similar to many modern american coffee shops. I liked the monkey mocha iced latte and the chocolate zucchini bread. I wish there was more banana flavor, because I barely tasted any, but it was tasty as it was. The service was about average. The cashier comes off as short with you, but that is just how many people in California are compared to the southern states. read more

Came here for my caffeine fix. This place was good not great. I wanted a pastry with my drink and they had no pastries. The display was completely empty which was a bummer. The drink was very good nothing specials about it. The inside seems like a very quiet place where one could work. They have plenty of outside seating as well which was very nice. read more

First off, the service is welcoming! She makes an effort to make you feel like you are an every day customer even if it is your first time. I really enjoyed that feeling. Coffee was up to par for me. Did the job without feeling overstimulated or sugared out. BUT what really got me was the setting. I love how there is private booths to study and isolate yourself to work. There also an abundance of seating unlike most shops where you come to study and do not know if you're going to find seating. read more

The Lost Bean - Iced Vanilla Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I wish I could review it, but I won't. I'll give five stars because they don't deserve stars taken away for this because the other locations are great. It is really hard to find this location and I was kind of lost for a little bit. Anyhow, just kind of bummed that they did not have the no sugar added chocolate to add to my mocha so I left. I can't do sugar, but I really like the mocha with the no sugar added that I can get at other locations. Kind of a bummer because I wasted about 45 minutes of my life trying to get here. read more

I am always searching for delicious coffee spots and I am so happy I stumbled upon this one. Keep in mind it is a bit difficult to find since it's tucked away among corporate/office buildings. The service is amazing. The lady at the register (whom is named Donna) was very kind and welcoming. She walked me through the menu and helped me decide what to order which was a nitro cold brew with the cinnamon foam topping. I don't like overly sweet coffees so the foam was the perfect balance to a subtle sweet kick. Will definitely be coming back! read more

So I parked on the wrong side when I got here so heads up, you definitely want to park on the corner where you can see the coffee shop out front. Entering the coffee shop it looks like a sort of more industrial feels like very office people vibes so I think it's a great place to get work done. They have plugs and even booths that are enclosed for getting work done. Loved how welcoming Diane was. She asked me many questions to figure out what kind of drink that I might appreciate and she recommended a lavender vanilla cold cream on top of drip, which I loved and ended up getting some coffee beans as well. Overall, it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back for more coffee beans. I also love that they gave me a free, drip coffee with my local organic coffee beans! read more

In a busy business center. Big patio. Nice interior with big tables and free WiFi. Coffee is good. Offer teas, milk alternatives and lots of flavorings. Baked goods are very tasty and fresh. I had the ginger bread and it was delicious- very gingery Only one person working at noon so if it gets busy I'd hope they'd bring in some reinforcements but I was served quickly. I'd definitely come back!! read more

Found my new work from home spot! I finally made it to the Lost Bean and wish I'd found this place a long time ago. It's located off Dyer rd. in a business park next to the county Environmental Health building which I guess I would classify a hidden gem. Plenty of parking out front and upon entering I noticed plenty of both indoor and outdoor open seating which includes booth seats and these cute little study rooms with foldable glass doors which are first come first serve. The study rooms are the main selling point for me. I've been to so many coffee shops and none of them have an isolated work booth. I actually had a Teams meeting with my boss in one of the booths and she said, "It sounds like there's an echo or you're in a room with an echo?" That being said, it does sound like you're broadcasting live from your bathroom but what's even cooler is there's a sign above the door that says, "ON AIR" when you close the accordion door! I thought since this awesome place is located in a business park away from the main retail drags it might sacrifice the coffee taste or quality but it's actually better. I've been trying to find a decent cold brew with pumpkin spice cold foam from various Starbucks (I feel like they watered down their pumpkin drinks this year) and every time the cold foam is either thin or already dissolved into the drink and loses all flavor. I ordered a caramel macchiato and added their lavender maple cold cream to the top and it literally was a thick fluffy cloud that stayed a float my drink for an hour and it was delicious! Even when I finished the drink there was still remnants of the cream at the bottom. I also tried their snickerdoodle cookie and oatmeal and both were bomb. When I arrived this morning around 7:50 a.m. there was one woman named Donna running the show. She took orders, made the drinks, made my oatmeal and was out cleaning the tables on the main floor. I don't know why but I felt like she gave me total hero mom vibes. She was really nice while being efficient at the same time and when I got stuck inside the booth (you gotta push the middle of the door to open it) or needed directions to the restroom (there's a door to the left of the register and you turn right) she was totally nice and helpful. If you need a place to work or study that's not terribly crowded and open during the day, this is it. read more

I'm a regular here with my work being nearby. Coffee is great and does its job to get me through my day! Donna is always warm and welcoming; she remembers everyone's names and regular orders. She knows that I get a cafe au lait w/ oat in the AM or a cold brew if I show up in the afternoon. She is also pretty fast during that morning rush. Best food item they had was the pumpkin pie from a couple years ago. Bring that back!!!! read more

Pumpkin spice latte was the best I've ever had! Pumpkin puree and just the right amount of sweet. Also such a cute little place with study cubbies. Wish I lived closer but will definitely return next time I'm in Santa Ana. And staff was super nice and helpful. read more

The Lost Bean - Iced Caramel Macchiato made with Half and Half - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I walked in at 8:15 am there was one person working. She was at the register and making the coffee. She was very quick and efficient. She was friendly but she also forgot to put a shot of expression on my coffee and just poured it in once she gave it to me. The coffee didn't mix as well.. I feel like she should have made a new one. While she was making the coffee there was a lot of people waiting to order. I believe that she needs help... specially in the early morning rush. There was plenty of sitting in and out. Loved the decor and doggie with the coffee. The coffee was ok. Had she made it the right way from the beginning it might have been better. read more

The Lost Bean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

TLDR; No coffee taste, Latte hot AF, Milk scalded like it came out of Hell, And a nasty burn. I visited Thursday January 4th around 12pm. I'd like to open by sharing that service was kind and quick. I have no faults there and the ambiance is nice. That out of the way, the latte I ordered was just ok. Strong milk taste, I'm certain it was scalded. Little to no espresso taste. Now onto the meat of this review, there are huge issues in how I was served my drink. Firstly, the drink was full all the way to the top and was handed over without a sleeve or lid. This will be important later. I went to the sidebar about 6-8 feet away from where the drink was placed on a counter. I had to walk slow not to spill and got my lid and sleeve and walked slowly out of the establishment. This is where things quickly went SOUTH. Like yee haw DEEP South. I lifted the cup to take a sip and it was so hot no less than 75c. So hot that if it was tap water you couldn't keep your skin under it for literally one second unless your nerves are shot. I pulled it down from my mouth and took another step forward and the contents sloshed out of the sippy hole on the lid and onto my hand. It was bried contact and I quickly shifted the drink to my other hand to wipe the spilt coffee off. I thought that the drink spilt just because of my reaction to the heat. Nope. The drink was filled to the top so it easily sloshed out of the lid and burnt the F out of the skin between my right hand thumb and index finger. The burning lasted over 3 hours. Nightmare. Another coffee shop on my junk list. A bad latte and a bad burn are a match made in heaven. read more

In my continuous search for new and delicious coffee places I stumbled upon this unassuming cafe during a work break. This place might be difficult to find as it's tucked away among a newly built corporate/office building center. When you turn into the parking lot, it is located the second building on your right-hand side. Despite it's small size, the cafe has ample seating both indoors and outdoors. Especially love the outdoor patio set-up. They have an extensive menu. The barista behind the counter pointed out some of the flavored syrups and seasonal drinks they offered which I appreciate. Since it was my first time here, I decided to go for a classic option: an ice coffee, spicing it up with a cinnamon cream add-on for an additional $1. Cream is on the sweeter side but the cinnamon flavor is very prominent. Mixed into the coffee gave my drink a nice balance. Would come again to try more of their menu. Seems like it'd make a cozy studying spot too. read more

The Lost Bean - Iced Coffee w/Cinnamon Cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I came here on a Wednesday during my lunch break to get an afternoon pick me up. The barista who was working was very friendly, energetic, and helpful. This was my first time visiting, so I needed some time to look at the menu. She recommended adding the cinnamon vanilla cream to any hot or cold beverage, which I ended up doing to the nitro cold brew I ordered. It was soo tasty! The location is hidden behind some business buildings, but I was able to easily find it with google maps. There are plenty of tables and outlets and free wifi if you are looking to get some work done. Overall, the ambiance was nice, the service was great, and I really enjoyed my coffee, so I will definitely be coming back. read more
