Shoutout to Chris, who made the experience even better. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about coffee. He took the time to explain the drinks and made great recommendations, which always goes a long way. I ordered the Pistachio Vietnamese coffee, and wow--easily one of the best specialty drinks I've had in a while. Perfect balance of bold Vietnamese coffee with a smooth pistachio flavor that isn't overly sweet. Rich, creamy, and unique without being gimmicky. You can tell real thought went into the recipe. Overall, Culture Drip is a must-visit if you're into quality coffee, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. With baristas like Chris behind the bar, this spot is doing everything right. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

It's a local hangout for sure; patrons working on lap tops, friends greeting each other and barista's acknowledging prior customers. Super cool spot situated on the main thoroughfare on Lido and only steps to a view of the marina. The Coffee itself was excellent; great flavor, well made and the service was equally as good. The outside patio reminded me of something you'd find in Europe; the walls are covered in vines and it's situated right on the the street where it was a great place to people watch etc.. I could see this place getting extremely busy of a weekend and parking would be very challenging so plan accordingly...we were there at 7.30am , perfect time. A must visit.

My wife and I did a simple iced latte and cappuccino both with whole milk. The coffee was great with no sour taste to them. My wife also wanted the croissant, so we ordered one. It was good, but nothing too special. It does get really busy here and for a good reason. It's in a great location in the Lido Marina Village. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. I did get confused with the restrooms but there was one across the street (public restroom). Just to note, I don't think there was a policy for dogs since many people with dogs were coming in and out that were for sure not service animals. I didn't mind since I love dogs, but can be an issue for those with sensitivities. The baristas were all very nice, no issue with customer service. I was basically the only asian dude there the whole time, but there was no issue. Everyone was nice :)

Shoutout to Emma for being so kind and for turning me into a repeat customer.

Either way it has some appeal and worth a stop so you can pass judgment for yourself. I rate it a 5 for convenience, service and proximity but because I value good coffee so much I have to rate the overall experience a 3 because the quality of the Coffee was just not there- I had a double shot latte and it seemed weak to me and had more of a watered down taste; I had two or 3 sips and threw it away . if you want superior coffee then walk a mile to Lido and visit Herst Coffee!!

It is a bit hard to find parking in the area but it is a very lively ambient elegant part of Newport Beach.

What I really like the flavor is from real chunky strawberries in a syrup rather than freeze dried or just the artificial flavor. The menu is varied and the food options are so fresh and delicious. Once again, shoutout to the staff for being so helpful and friendly.

The space feels like a beautiful greenhouse oasis, a thoughtfully designed environment that creates a sense of serenity whether you choose to sit indoors or outside. The staff are equally welcoming and friendly, which adds to the overall charm and warmth of this coffee roaster. With a full page beverage and food menu, MoonGoat is much more than just a place for coffee. They offer a nice variety of food as well. I only wish their selection of desserts and sweets were a bit more expansive and appealing. We ordered the iced Marsala coffee and a latte. The beans were perfectly roasted, delivering a wonderful depth and richness to both drinks. Each cup was smooth, flavorful and thoroughlly enjoyable. We also tried the gluten free pecan cake. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet which allowed the flavorrs to come through naturally. The cake itself was slightly plain, but the generous pecan/toffee topping added the richness and texture it needed and made each bite much more satisfying. I could easily sit here for hours, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the thoughtfully designed space. It's the kind of coffee shop where you want to slow down, linger and simply enjoy the moment.
