    The coffee beans are so good that I keep coming back. The staff is always kind and welcoming. It's also a great spot to get work done. Plus, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee here is just delightful!

    I love their coffee! This one is in Mass hall market, so grab a meal and coffee at the same time and enjoy.

    Matcha honey refresher

    This place is located inside Mess Hall. This place has a lot of parking and is validated for 2 hours. There are many seating options insides and outside. It is very nice for you and your friends to talk. The lost bean has many popular coffee options. Their matcha refresher was very light. If you are a big fan of sweet then I would suggest to add extra sweeteners. Even though I had syrup it was still similar to a 6/10 sweetness level at other places. I would like to see more unique drinks as there was not too many drinks that stood out to me.

    This place has good coffee, but so do many other coffee shops in OC. However, I like this place for 3 reasons: 1) Michelle is the best. When I'm getting coffee I feel like I'm catching up with a friend, not just ordering from a barista. 2) they brew organic coffee and have gluten free pastry options - which is a bonus from a health standpoint. 3) it's inside the Mess Hall @ FLIGHT (an upscale food court), so there's always plenty of seating, and good spots for lunch.

    I've tried two other locations aside from this one located inside the Mess Hall at the Flight complex and just can't quite get into their style of java. I ordered a vanilla latte and also got one of the chocolate chip cookies in their small display case. You can't just have a coffee without an accompaniment, right? Like the other locations, I couldn't detect a vanilla flavor. And the coffee just has a flavor I don't enjoy as much as other places. Is it the beans? Or do they slightly burn them while roasting? I'm just not sure and my coffee palate is not sophisticated enough to pinpoint why it doesn't please me. The cookie was fresh and soft with plenty of chocolate chips. It's obvious from other reviews that The Lost Bean brews coffee that a lot of people love. For me it's just A-OK.

    New location in the Mess Hall.

    Doesn't have the same vibe as a normal Lost Bean location, but the coffee and the food is still up to par. This stand or kiosk takes over a full comer in the Mess Hall in Tustin. It's has all the Lost Bean coffee staples; cold brew, lattes, and so on. They do have food but it's pretty limited. Mostly just pastries and pre-made quiches and sandwich wraps. This a great place to sip some coffee, get some work done or have an impromptu meeting. There's also plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. Need that caffeine boost and don't want to wait in-line. The Lost Bean in the Tustin Mess Hall will get you in and out and on our way.

    I love everything about this coffee shop. Not only do they have coffee and tea, they also serve acai bowls and healthy juice drinks. I ordered the green goddess 16 oz. Which is $6.50. And of course, it has all the green goodies you would expect: kale, green apple, grapefruit, and pineapple. I would drink this everyday I could. I also think everything is organic. Another positive for the health conscious person like myself. Pesticides cause cancer y'all, just sayin'. I fully appreciate the quality their ingredients here.

    I love The Lost Bean, and am glad to see them thriving with three locations in Irvine/Tustin now. This one is located in the Mess Hall. I ordered the Nitro Cold Brew, and I was a little hesitant because I never tried it before, but the sweet girl said not to worry because if I didn't like it, she'd make me any other drink of my choice. Great service! I ended up really liking it, but appreciated the gesture. It's different than what I can make at home and so refreshing for a hot day. They also have green juices and açaí bowls, and other non-caffeinated options here for those who aren't in the coffee mood.

Overall the place itself was a very cool spot, honestly the kind of place you would want to post up at and get some work done. The decor and artwork were really different and cool to see, definitely gave the place its own personality. The staff were extremely sweet and welcoming too, made the whole visit that much better. As for the matcha themselves, they were actually pretty good. The matcha latte was nice and smooth with a very balanced taste, slightly bitter even with the added lavender but still easy to enjoy overall. Next time we are probably going to ask for light ice and maybe an extra pump of lavender or vanilla just to cut back on that bitterness a bit. As for the ube matcha, that one was very good too, though mine had way too much ice and was gone in like three sips unfortunately. The flavor of the ube came through nicely and was pretty balanced, though I would have liked a little more matcha flavor since the ube can easily take over. Overall, not bad matchas at all, though not the best we have had on this journey, but still worth a stop if you need something quick and good.

I am very familiar with the Asian egg tarts, but I haven't had the Portuguese kind. I was eyeing up the banana pudding, but I decided to not get it.

They were honestly to die for. I contemplated for a few minutes to BUY MORE even though I had only eaten one. I thought, I'm not from this area, so I might as well get more! I ended up getting 5 more, each tart leans on the expensive side for how small they are, but they are mighty delicious!!! I also decided to try the sea salt chocolate chip cookie: Classic Cookie.

Honestly when I put in my 2nd order, I couldn't help myself to tell the people behind me how dang good the egg tarts are... They told me they ended up getting some just because I mentioned it..
