They have a very straightforward menu offering your basic drinks, and few signature lattes, and some seasonal options as well. I tried the Hazelnut Latte and it was good.

I don't love that in order to access the building you need to pay to park at the lot across the street.

Back with an update because I finally got my hands on the breakfast burrito…read more My cousin and I still make the drive from South OC for what is easily our favorite matcha in OC but this visit was all about the burrito. They were sold out the last time we came, so my expectations were honestly pretty high. I fear the hype is justified. It was a little oily but the flavor was insane. The protein to tortilla ratio was perfect every bite felt balanced and the sauce absolutely carried it over the finish line. If you've had the breakfast burrito from Sobuneh in LA, this is probably the closest thing I've found in OC. Ambiance is so cute and minimal. Service is great. Also parking is so easy. They validate in the structure across the street and there are designated Stereoscope spots tucked away in the back of the lot to the right. Stereoscope REALLY did their big one.

Absolutely in my top 5 cafes in OC. Can't say enough good things about this place…read more The highlight is honestly getting a seat outside under the star jasmine bushes and umbrella, and enjoying a pastry and coffee with loved ones. Highly recommend the honey rosemary latte - can't find it anywhere else and it's delicious for those who love semi-sweet floral leaning lattes. Brownie points for the syrup being made in house (it's a tablestake these days but still appreciate it). Spanish latte is also superb. Pastries are some of the best we've had. I recently ordered the plain croissant and it was by far the best plain croissant I've had in my life. You'll need to come earlier in the day to have options because they sell somewhat quickly. Small nitpick that I've also seen from others is that they really should keep pastries in a case rather than out in the open. The fly fan things don't work that well... Also with the amount of dogs, fur and dander are inevitably airborne. When I was there last a customer's large dog jumped on the counter several times and had his face and paws in the pastries - woops.

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!!

The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with a steady buzz of customers that shows just how popular this spot is. My fiancé got the iced sweet cream latte and absolutely loved it! smooth, perfectly balanced sweetness, and the espresso was top-notch. I went with the iced Americano topped with banana cold foam, and wow, it was a game changer! The banana foam was creamy, flavorful, and not overly sweet, pairing beautifully with the bold espresso. Both drinks were prepared and refreshed us instantly. The only minor downside is parking, which can be a bit tricky, but the location is clearly thriving with tons of foot traffic and business out front, so it's totally understandable. Once you're inside, the excellent drinks and friendly service more than make up for it. We'll definitely be back soon highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality coffee and a great local atmosphere! 4.5 stars in my personal opinion

I wanted to share some feedback and a product suggestion as a customer and fan of Nespresso…read more While your coffee offerings are excellent, there is a significant gap in your product lineup when it comes to tea. Many people around the world either prefer tea over coffee or enjoy both, and currently there is no convenient Nespresso solution for them. Introducing a line of tea options such as matcha, chai, black tea, green tea, and herbal blends would open your platform to a much broader audience. In many parts of the world, tea consumption rivals or exceeds coffee, and it feels like an untapped opportunity for Nespresso. From a customer perspective, having the same level of convenience, consistency, and quality for tea as you provide for coffee would be incredibly appealing. It would also make Nespresso machines more versatile for households with mixed preferences. I would strongly encourage your team to consider expanding into this category. It seems like a natural extension of your brand and a meaningful way to serve a wider global customer base. Thank you for your time and consideration.

And it came out looking EXACTLY as I'd hoped: so beautiful and fresh and delicious- and the service is so charming as well! I had a break in my workweek so I hopped a ride to the Island to explore- walked down Marine and then headed here for solo lunch- I'm so glad I did! When you only have a 3 hour window on your work trip, you want to make it count ;) The ceviche and spicy margarita were fantastic (see pic) - I sat outside and then walked down the block to the ferry (for $4 you can ride across the inlet to the pier and back in just a few minutes) Todos Santos really made my week!

Nice looking spot with plenty of outdoor seating. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly. So why just 3 stars? The food was just eh. If I had more hours in California I would have made up for the lackluster food by making a trip to HB's Tacos Los Cholos. I had the recommended Enchiladas Suizas. When my plate came out I knew immediately it would be just ok. The enchiladas didn't even look saucy. The refried beans looked (and tasted) like canned beans. The rice was very boring. The tinga chicken, somehow, was dry. My wife had the tostada salad. It was like $26 because of the $10 add on of steak. $26 for the most gringo thing on the menu. Best part of it was the steak, the rest will be repressed from my memory. A friend had the taco trio. $19 for 3 tacos and no sides. That's pretty steep. He didn't even finish the 3 tacos. He had the short rib, al pastor and carnitas. None of them looked very good. I had a pinch of his short rib meat. It tasted like grandma's Sunday pot roast. And just like the tinga chicken it was also dry. My wife's strawberry marg was quite good. The beer menu was very basic. Gotta step it up. When the free chips and salsa, and add on steak are the highlights of the dinner you know that the place needs help.
