Another day, another coffee shop…read more Heard great things about MoonGoat so was excited to try today. Saw valet parking and got nervous but the guy just told me where to park. Super easy. 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.

Drink are good and come in large sizes for those that are looking for something worth the money. I love that they are open early for those that need a pick me up on the way to work. They are also dog friendly! It's also located across South Coast Plaza, so you can grab a great drink and go shopping! The only downside of the place is that there's little parking options. 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!!

I've now been to both The Nook in Costa Mesa and Torrance and I can confidently say... I get the…read morehype. 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!

There's a handful of different pastries available but would recommend arriving earlier if you have your eye on something specific. My wife got the strawberry matcha whereas I ordered the Spanish latte. Both were not overly sweet and would definitely recommend this to others within the area!

Wow! Moongoat is right across from the Marriott hotel, where I was staying. It opens early which…read morewas perfect for me, an early riser. The restaurant is located in a cute area with office building and gorgeous western courtyard that you can take your meal to go and eat out in or on their patio. I am a matcha lover. I get a matcha where ever and whenever I can at breakfast. This hot matcha latte was perfection!!!!! The milk to matcha ratio was on point and was just the right level of warmer to sooth the soul, and not burn your mouth. Add on the beautiful design and you have a lovely way to start any day. I ordered the delux avocado toast which came with a hard boiled egg, bacon and arugula on top. It incredible was fresh tasting. It would have used a bit of black pepper and salt but over all delicious. Whenever I have another work trip out here, I will be making a point to enjoy the matcha latte and avocados toast at Moongate greenhouse!

Great looking place and the food is good, but the service is careless…read more Note: Today is not busy at all. There is no line. This is why this situation is unacceptable. The cashier took our orders wrong (forgot one thing) The food station person gave our order to someone else The remake was much smaller than the display they have in the register AND the other plates (yes, plural) they have for other guests Remake #1 When they finally have our food, the sunnyside egg came scrambled.

I ordered the strawberry matcha which had a strawberry compote rather than a puree. Very tasty and a perfect amount of sweetness in my opinion.

The burrito is really filling and the ingredients compliment each other and the sauce is spectacular. Afternoon: I treat myself with one of their pastries and an unsweetened peach tea. Sometimes the food takes a minute, but it's worth it! There's some seating and it can get busy, but I've never had an issue. It's always clean and the environment is inviting. Highly recommended!

They offer a few seasonal items and a standard menu of lattes, teas, etc. Today I ordered the morning melt and the coconut latte. The coconut latte is delish and tastes like summer. The morning melt is also really good. So many flavors from the egg, turkey, and arugula. Next time I'll opt for the sauce on the side and put a little less so it's not so drippy. Still super tasty! Thanks for providing a relaxing vibe :)

Checked this spot out since I was staying at the hotel nearby…read more.. What a neat little spot! Can almost call it a hidden gem! 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.

I'm at a phase in life where I'm obsessed with Matcha tonic drinks. When I saw that this shop…read moreoffered Yuzu Matcha tonic, I was sold. I love that this place has a kiosk where you can order or you can order at the front with the cashier. Lots of yummy drinks to choose from in the inside is very aesthetically pleasing. My drink was exactly what I wanted it to be citrusy Matcha bubbly it was perfect. For some reason, parking in this lot was really difficult although it is a large lot. A lot of the spaces were filled up. I think it's because it's next to Plums Café and I saw a lot of people eating over there but other than that, this is a solid coffee shop.

The pink coconut matcha felt like your classic coconut matcha, so if you're into that, that was also delicious!! Ambiance: There are nice tables with white sofas and stools (maybe this was moon inspired haha) and seemed like a great place to study or chill with friends! Service: The service was good, and the drinks come out in five to ten minutes. Overall, a nice hangout place, and please order the strawberry pistachio matcha, and thank me later!!

Service is relatively quick for a small busy shop. There's seating inside and a little patio with shade to sit outside. Ordered The Good Company and subbed it with whole milk. It was not too sweet.

Stepping in, the cafe has a lot of seating and I can see how it'd be nice to study in. I ordered Kashimiri Chai and the drink was so light and the cardonom really shines through. Their banana pudding is DIVINE, it is on the sweeter side but it's homemade and you fs tell! They also make their syrups in houseee! I tried the House chai but I ended up prefering the Kashimiri Chai! I'll def be coming back for more since the staff kept raving about their coffee. Sarah and Patrick were the sweetest! Service was top tier, so friendly! and they gave me reccomendations based on my taste. I wasn't familiar with the menu and they gently guided me through my questions.

If you need to get…read moresome work or studying done, this is a prime spot--they have a ton of outlets available, which is a massive plus. The bathrooms are also exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which always makes a long study session much more comfortable. My only real complaint was the wait time and communication. I ordered a drink and went to sit outside to get some work done. After it took quite a while for my order to come out, a staff member finally came outside to inform me that they had actually run out of yuzu. It felt a little disorganized and off that it took so long just to realize they were out of an ingredient. Despite the awkward ordering delay, the overall environment is excellent. It's a great, clean space to be productive, and I'd definitely give it another chance.
