“Boy, I love this coffee shop so much! The ambience is giving trendy and giving craft coffee vibe! The drinks were so delicious! It's the perfect spot to pay your overpriced coffee and pay for the nice instagram post! Plus the people work there are nice and down to earth, service is fast! I still think about the hojicha latte I got! And it's so good!“
“Amazing service - baristas always offer great recommendations. They often have seasonal drinks on rotation so I typically get a different iced latte every time I'm here. Plenty of tables to sit down and work or read. Drinks never disappoint!“
“My daughter and I came in here yesterday (January 21st, 2024) before iur trip to the mission. And it was pouring rain. Ambiance - this place is just so relaxing and cute. It is a small cafe but there are chairs and tables outside too. This place reminds me of my backyard very cozy. They have succulents all over the place and they also have cute merch near the counter. They also sell the coffee packs. ps. I should've bought one sugh !Service - when we came in it was busy. But it was fast and they greeted us!Service- I got the breakfast burrito and it was delicious! Good amount pf portion and I have extra for me to eat later. Then my daughter got the sandwich the one with bacon. She was really digging it. Now, she wanted me to make her some for breakfast. hehe. Then for our drinks we got hot chocolate (for my daughter) which was really tasty, and I got a surprise coffee with almond milk which was good as well. I asked the barista to just whip me something that is very strong so I can last the whole day. And it was delivered, Thank you!ps. we got to our destination and we just realized that we actually ordered a muffin. So, I called the place and texted my receipt to the owner and I got my refund for that. I appreciate it so much! We will be back someday! As we live so far away. But for now, I just know where to go whenever we're in the area.“
“Great place to study and good food/drinks. The hot chocolate was superb and the even have a cute little loft upstairs.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, no automatic door buttons for bathroom/entry. But the side door is wide open and the bathroom is huge.“
“I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Ron, at a nonprofit event where Teofilo had a booth. While I initially was drawn in by the aroma, I lingered to hear the story of his business and the history of Filipino coffee, which added depth to the experience. The bold, unique flavor of their coffee sets them apart from chain coffee shops, leaving a memorable impression that ensures future visits whenever I'm in the area. Teofilo is not just a coffee shop; it's a cultural journey with each sip.“
“A nice place to come get strong, aromatic Vietnamese coffee. The place is fancy and well decorated. Staff are friendly and tables are clean and inviting. I love their classic Vietnamese Coffee. It is strong so be sure to let the ice melt a little so it's not too strong or bitter. I will definitely come back here to get some more coffee drinks. The plaza has adequate parking and not too crowded.“
“Excellent coffee: I had the spiced Mayan mocha and it was excellent. The place has a great lounge and vibe but no WiFi (I’m assuming to discourage people posting up all day). I found what I ordered to be overpriced so it’s not a place I’d rush to come back to but a great coffee pit stop if you’re in the area.Vegetarian options: Almond and Oat Milks available.“
“I loveeeeee the coffee here! And the courtyard in the back is perfect for letting my little one run around while enjoying coffee! I get the vanilla latte and I love that they serve it in a mug! I only wish I had been able to try the cookie butter latte before they got rid of it!“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Moongoat Coffee, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that truly made me feel welcome.The star of the show, of course, was the coffee. I ordered both the Coffee Latte and the Churro Latte, and they were nothing short of exceptional. The Coffee Latte had a rich and smooth flavor, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of espresso and steamed milk. It was a comforting and invigorating start to my day.Now, let's talk about the Churro Latte. Oh, my taste buds were in heaven! The combination of the aromatic coffee and the delectable hints of cinnamon and caramel made for a truly unique and indulgent experience. It felt like sipping on a churro in liquid form! I couldn't get enough of it.Beyond the incredible beverages, the atmosphere at Moongoat Coffee was cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating arrangements and a pleasant ambiance. It was the perfect spot to relax, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy some quality "me" time.What truly sets Moongoat Coffee apart, though, is the exceptional service provided by the staff. The baristas were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. They took the time to explain the menu, answer all my questions, and even offered recommendations based on my preferences. Their attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm for their work made the entire experience that much more enjoyable.I highly recommend paying a visit to Moongoat Coffee. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or simply looking for a cozy spot to unwind, this place has it all. With their outstanding service, delicious coffee options like the Coffee Latte and Churro Latte, and inviting ambiance, Moongoat Coffee is a hidden gem that deserves all the recognition. I can't wait to return for another exceptional cup of coffee!“

“There is no sign on the outside and you have to go in the parking area to see the shop. I have been buying Wilson coffee from Fermentation Farm and I have always thought it's just coffee beans and tea packages and not over the counter coffee. Well now I was happy to see they have over the counter coffee. I was asking Matt how long has the counter been open and he said 12 years. And I was shocked as I always thought it's only a coffee roaster place. He said this is the normal reaction of folks coming in and ordering coffee. I know Wilson coffee is passionate about coffee roasting and having a cup of coffee feels like as fresh as I can get. You know where the beans are being roasted. The cool thing about this place is it's simplicity and attention to the coffee bean. No frills, just the best coffee bean in the neighborhood.“
“Don't know how i've never reviewed this place before. But theres not much to say except its awesome. I love this whole place and their mission statement. The drinks are superb especially the sensory latte! Also, the bagels are huge and so good! I even asked them where they got them from. Prices are reasonable and both locations are amazing. Only problem is that theres not enough parking here for how many customers they got!!!“
“Great coffeeshop to study or relax. It is small, but there are spots available inside and outside. Limited pastries selection, and the pastries and coffee are on the expensive side as a high-end shop, but the atmosphere makes it worth a visit.Service has been OK but nothing special, and more food availability would be welcome. They also charge an automatic service fee, unfortunately (think it’s about 5-10%). Nice parking lot that always has parking“
“If only they were in my neighborhood! I'm a Lavender latte girl. But I'm all about tasting the richness of a good Espresso, along with a hint of yummy lavender goodness. (As opposed to a cup of sugary syrup, with way too much cream and a hint of some metal tasting coffee.) Huskins makes their own lavender & it's beautiful. And ohhh that coffee, it definitely wins the Stanley Cup! . Thank you Huskins! PS I haven't stayed for the ambiance. No waiting around here, Baristas are Kind, knowledgeable and efficient! I'm on the road again in no time.“
“I have purchased Blue Flame coffee Signature (3) different times, and (3) 12 oz bags each time. The coffee is very consistent tasting and to my coffee opinion very enjoyable. I drink (2) 12oz pour overs per day and I weigh both the beans and water. So I can safely state the coffee is consistent tasting. For best "pour over" taste, do not grind too finely, it will produce a sour acidic taste, but with proper grind sizing it tastes sweet and smooth. I'm using a Fellow Ode grinder, with a 5 grind setting, and I'm using the Hario V60 dripper, 12oz water with 23 gram beans. I highly recommend the coffee, and the 9 bucks per bag cost is phenomenal. Be sure to call before visiting, twice they were not there during business hours.“
“I really like this cozy coffee shop, the atmosphere is nice, coffee is good, great attitude with customers, and they take care of every single detail. When you pick your order up at the bar, you grab it with a nice wood little tray ☺️The seating area includes tables, tall corner seatings, and outdoor seating too.This is a good place to work or study.Internet connection is fast.It’s clean, pet friendly, and they have a clean bathroom.Btw, the way they decorated the ceiling is cool ??It’s in the corner of a street mall with shared parking lot.“
“Easy access, big parking lot, easy to spot, great location.The place is beautiful, everything was really clean, and all the décor is great.The menu is clear with fair prices.The staff were nice.The chairs are a bit uncomfortable, but it is part of the charm; they match the decorations.It was good that people share the table; a few people that I had never seen before just joined me, which was nice.But... there's no internet. I went there to use the space to work and couldn't.I asked the staff about it, and the answer was, "Oh, yeah, we know. It often doesn't work. Pretty much, we don't have any."In fact, there was a small sign that said something about it.In general, it is a good place. I liked it.“
“Dark Horse is originally from San Diego so I was surprised to see it in OC. I love their matcha here and crave it from time to time. I never get oat milk with my matcha so I can't speak for the flavor combo of their matcha + oat milk. Buuut whole milk + their iced matcha is a winner in my book at Steelcraft. bonus points goes to the friendly staff members!!“
“The food was really good. We got the avocado toast and it was way better and supple than I had expected. I thought it was just going to be a regular avocado toast, maybe some feta, a little balsamic, but this one had arugula, radish, onions and spices covered everywhere. So so good, and the avocado spread was so thick and filling. Overall super solid eats. Coffee was great too, got the Madagascar Vanilla Latte and the taste was really nice, one of my favs from the OC. Lastly the ambience is sick. The ceiling has such cool art that looks insane with the the glasses and then the surrounding area and all the seating is so nice and inviting and comfy. Loved my experience.“
“ALWAYS ALWAYS AMAZING COFFEE. Such an underrated and amazing roaster. They're innovative and fresh. Espresso is fantastic as well as just their straight up coffee. They mix up there blends and roasts.If you want foofy drinks- they have them too, but done simple and right.Lavender or Rose Latte are delish. Recently tho I got their seasonal Autumn Spice Latte with toasted marshmallow whip... OH MY. Not usually a sweet coffee person so I only halfed the maple brown sugar syrup they make. PERFECT!!! THAT WHIP IS INSANE! It's slightly salted uuuh yurm.“
“Found this place on Yelp and decided to give them a try. Ambiance: 4.5/5 Wednesday morning around 10:30am, there were a good amount of people, but not too crowded. No line tho. So I took my time with the menu, and the staff was helpful answering any questions. I ended up getting a cold brew with 2 different flavors in the cold foam. I forget which flavors but I asked the girl and she said it sounds good. My brother got the vanilla bean frappe. Drinks: 3/5 The cold brew itself was light but more on the sour spectrum. I am not a major cold brew connoisseur, so not sure if that's good or bad. The foam didn't add too much flavor to the drink, but I appreciated it was there. Not my favorite nor would I come back here for this, but maybe another drink. The vanilla bean frappe didn't have coffee in it - I don't think. I guess I assumed it would, but no worries about that. It was true to its name. He drank it, but we both agreed it was just alright. Service: 5/5 The service was great however, the cute merchandise corner was nice, and there was lots of seating and places to work or catch up with friends.“
“We got the Iced Mocha and the Rosemary Honey Latte, and both were so good! The Iced Mocha is on the richer side and they use mexican chocolate if i’m not mistaken. The Rosemary Honey latte was definitely my favorite, it was so aromatic and the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely highly recommend and will be back for more!!“
“After I decalcified my old Nespresso machines (again), I bought more capsules and paid attention. WOW - I can buy single use capsules and they'll recycle the used ones at no extra cost. AND what I spend for per cup (smaller amount, less caffeine) is within +/- 50% if what I spend to grind beans and brew a pot at a time at home. The "Green consciousness" and how Nespresso designs their whole luxury coffee lifecycle / experience truly is awesome! Kudos to Nespresso! I am grateful to enjoy these products.“
“I've been here several times now and my favorites are their avocado toast and breakfast sandwiches. I like their hot mochas, home town latte, and matcha latte.Super convenient spot with parking in the garage. If it's quick stop, I just park down the street.“
“5 star FRESH local roastery & cafe!! The owners and employees are super cool, super friendly, and they also have probably the best coffee & best prices anywhere! Grab a fresh espresso or drip, & an amazing just roasted bag of whole beans or ground coffee for all your home brewing needs! This place is a hidden gem!! If you're a coffee lover, you don't want to miss stopping by! They also love cars, so that's an added bonus!“
