“Really, really good food and an affordable price. Clean dining area with helpful service from the staff. Temporary construction on the building next door makes it a bit challenging to park but well worth it.

“Sweetgreen Costa Mesa has become one of my favorite go-to spots. The location itself is so cute, with a great little patio that makes it feel easy and inviting whether you are grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a fresh lunch.

One of the best parts of this location is the Sweetlane drive-through. It is such a convenient option when you want something healthy and delicious but do not have time to park and go inside. The whole experience feels fast, easy, and still really high quality.

The food has been consistently great, and the Caesar Wrap is amazing. It is fresh, flavorful, filling, and exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to come back. The drinks are also delicious and make the meal feel even more complete.

Overall, Sweetgreen Costa Mesa is a great spot if you want something fresh, convenient, and genuinely enjoyable. Between the cute patio, the Sweetlane, the drinks, and the Caesar Wrap, this location is definitely worth checking out.“

“Costa Mesa/Newport Beach, CA 📍hands down 10/10, food and experience. We stopped in here after the wonderful owner, Kurt, invited us down to try his delicious sandwiches! And safe to say we made the right choice. These sandwiches are huge and loaded with fresh ingredients. This location has been here since 2013, however beach hut has been around since the 80’s. They even add cream cheese to some of their sandwiches! 😋 The staff was wonderful, including the owner Kurt. You are missing out if you don’t stop in to get a sandwhich, tell them coco sent you!“

“Mendocino Farms is a go-to spot for a fresh, satisfying lunch. The Farm Club sandwich paired with the tomato basil soup was the perfect portion—filling without being too heavy—and packed with excellent flavor. The soup was especially well-balanced and comforting.

Another standout combo was the Chicken Pesto Caprese sandwich with the Lemon Chicken and Farro soup. Both were incredibly flavorful, but the soup truly stole the show—absolutely off the charts. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, making it an easy place to come back to again and again.“

Had a great experience here! We ordered the Molcajete fajitas, chicken enchiladas, and the Patron margarita tower, and everything was delicious. The flavors were amazing, portions were generous, and the drinks were excellent.

The service was just as impressive—our server, Eddie, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. To top it all off, the churros were incredible and the perfect way to end the night.

Highly recommend this spot for great food, drinks, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!“
