Buenas has great coffee and drinks. Beautiful and relaxing environment. If you need a gift they have beautiful dried floral bouquets, candles, coffee, honey, ceramic, etc. If you like nature, outside they have a beautiful area with trees and plants; you can sit outside and enjoy your coffee and read a book. read more

This is a cute little gem in costa mesa. Its located right off the freeway tucked into industrial buildings. I always drove past it, but this time I stopped and wanted to give it a try. I am so glad I did. They have a unique menu. I tried the Palo Santo latte, it had a sweet smokey flavor. I was skeptical at first but I am so glad I ordered it. It had such a great balance with the added espresso salt. I appreciate how their syrups are homemade. The staff was quick, accomodating and friendly. Their shop also showcases locally owned businesses in the area, which really shows how they support the community. read more

Went on a Saturday and there was no wait and the staff was super kind! Service - 10/10 We had a lot of customizations to our drinks (1% milk, less sugar, etc) and they were super accommodating to our requests! They also explained the different pastries they had, as well as their different seasonal drinks. Ambience - 10/10 There was a lot of seating including an outdoor section. I could see this being a great place to work from. There was also Jenga and Ping Pong which was really fun! Coffee/Matcha - 8/10 I got the strawberry matcha. I found that the matcha flavor was very faint and the color itself was too light. Overall the taste was good especially since I had reduced the sugar but I think the overall matcha flavor could've been stronger. My bf got the Maza Latte which was pretty yummy albeit small in size. All in all a cute space to work at. Would come again for the vibes, but the matcha latte needs more matcha! read more

Stopped by since an undisclosed coffee shop down the street was too crowded and I'm sorry but it was just not my fave :( I was disappointed by the fact that there was no almond milk option and then I asked for some stevia...no stevia. In fact I didn't see any coffee add-ins out for customers. You had to ask and see what they had behind the counter. Service was good but the lack of options and the flavor just didn't hit for me. It was a very small spot so if you're looking for a place to come hang out and spend some time there, it might not be the spot. Not sure how busy they get. Honestly, probably would not be back :( read more

Cute hidden coffee shop but nothing stands out to me tbh! They have a lot of competition nearby that offers better drinks & bigger work spaces. Since it's located in a business complex, most of their customers are from nearby businesses it seems. I ordered the palo santo, which was too salty & came in a 12 oz cup or smaller?? I guess I can't expect much given the price but not sure if I'd choose to come here when there's lion & lamb coffee down the street. Also very few tables indoors & the outdoor seating isn't covered/has no shade. read more

Best strawberry matcha ever! Service was so friendly and fast. The center it's in is super cute, the outdoor seating is next to a nice jasmine covered structure - great spot for a cute coffee date. They had lots of fun pastry options but we went with the burrito & cheddar + chorizo biscuit both delicious. I can't wait to come back to try their horchata and other pastries! read more

Buenas Coffee has mastered that chill cafe vibe. The wonderful people behind the counter really make you feel welcomed and appreciated.

Right off the freeway exit, inside the Cultural Plaza, Buenas Coffee is at the center of this building. It's a cozy small coffee shop. The staff are friendly and seem to care about your experience....I had questions on some of their specialty drinks on the menu. The coffee shop gives off a modern, intimate vibe but not cramped, with both indoor and patio seating--great for a chill catch-up or a solo work (aka me running in and out!):) I got Taza de Maza - so rich and creamy! I think it's similar to Spanish Latte. It has a strong coffee flavor which I like. Next time, I'll be brace to try the "Coffee Soda", which is tonic water with espresso. It comes unsweetened but you can add sweeteners. Last note:: Interesting now "everyone and everything " has an app...so not surprising Buenas Coffee offers an app to order your favorite drinks and earn points! read more

We were staying nearby so I found this on Yelp and omg we came two days in a row! Their hot chocolate, and Palo Santo was delicious.

What I ordered: - Cordial This iced drink is comprised of an espresso and oat milk base with orange blossom aromatics, toasty cacao, and creamy vanilla. The presence of orange was very minimal for me, wanted more of it actually. The cacao was subtle, not overly dominant but noticeable. The creamy vanilla stood out the most, despite this being the case, the espresso still shined through. I would definitely order this drink again! read more

Lovely little coffee shop in Costa Mesa. They have a lovely selection of pastries and breakfast burritos. We tried the elote pastry and was delicious. It was sweet but not too sweet which complimented the cortados. Service was quick and prompt. If you enjoy a quiet and colorful coffee shop, I would recommend visiting Buenas. read more

It's a small and cozy coffee shop welcoming if you need to use your lap top for a little time. The coffee is made well and to order. They have a wide variety of milks - I had never even heard of macadamia milk before going here! My son enjoyed their pastries, most of which are made in house and they get their pan dulce from Santa Ana - so you know its legit. ;) read more

別回頭，往後的日子都是嶄新的，我始終相信，世間所有的安排都有他的理由～ 咖啡廳居然隱身在這種小小的角落，我想應該是附近有一些公司行號，平常的客戶也不少吧，走得也是寧靜，年輕人喜歡的風格，我點了兩杯latte,可惜兩杯拉花都沒有拉好，扣分，他們的咖啡感覺比較溫和，小家碧玉的感覺，生意還不差呢，我來時一直有年輕人走進來 read more

Hidden in an unlikely business park and connected to a co-working space is Buenas. They have a classic coffee menu and a signature menu that leans towards Mexican flavors. Today, we tried the palo santo. Frankly the barista explained what all the specialty drinks were but I was too sleepy to absorb the info. The palo santo was a surprising delight. The drink comes in a small short cup and it was cold, but there was no ice. The flavors were surprisingly unique which makes me want to come back and try their other specialty drinks. The pastries also look very traditional. Indoor seating. Casual. Good service. Easy parking. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Highly recommend BUENAS COFFEE amazing Palo Santo latte topped with espresso salt. Aromatic, smokey and sweet. They infuse Palo Santo (holy wood) in homemade simple syrup. All their syrups are homemade and unique. Besides coffee, latte, espresso, horchata, and tea drinks, BUENAS offers home-made deli delectables (veggie empanadas, oatmeal, etc.), friendly baristas, boho chic decor, quiet ample indoor + outdoor seating, WiFi, special events, pop-ups & local artist goods. They roast their own coffee beans with state-of-the-art Bellwether Roasters machine -- the 'Tesla' of coffee roasting machines. BUENAS COFFEE curates great coffee, community + culture. read more

Drive by on a Saturday and they were open! Wasn't busy, so it was perfect for a quick snack before my appointment I had down the street. Walked in, was greeted by the three workers, so sweet. They helped me pick a yummy baked good, I chose the homemade vegan brown sugar pop tart by a small biz in Long Beach. Soooooo delicious. Wasn't too sweet. I got the cold brew with the sweet corn foam top. The cold brew was smooth and not bitter at all. Seats onsite and easy parking. Industrial lot. Super chill inside. Cute decor. read more

Cute coffee shop nestled in an industrial type setting with indoor/outdoor seating. The wait was not long to get the drinks. The Salem was okay. Not very flavorful and definitely filled with milk. The taste of coffee is not found. The Apple hill had zero flavor, like nothing reminiscent of Apple or spice or coffee. Literally just nothing except milk. Maybe it's the way I'm ordering or it was an off day, but I was not happy with my order. read more

This place is great! Friendly staff, good music, and great espresso. Sometimes I get a regular iced americano, but usually I get a decaf iced americano and it is the best decaf around. There is a co-working space connected/next door and sometimes they do free or cheap co-working promotions if you buy a coffee. Also they have outdoor seating, which is great 99% of the year. read more

Such a cute space!! I came here with my colleagues to work outside of our usually office. There's a few tables inside and outside to sit and do work. There are some outlets around and wifi. I got the Taza De Maza and it was very delicious. It's a good combination of coffee and mazapan taste. I only wish it was more. It came in a smaller cup than I expect. Parking was easy to find in the lot. There is a shared bathroom with the rest of the buildings around. It looks like it's a corporate plaza and there's a workspace next door too! Very cool vibes. read more

What a ridiculously overpriced coffee shop lol. $4.00 for a regular brewed coffee that's not even hot. And $6.00 for a Latte! For these prices these coffees should be made so well that Jesus would be proud to drink them. But they tasted very lackluster. I laughed when they had the option for a "tip" on the credit card screen. They should be tipping me for giving me a lukewarm $4.00 brewed coffee to drink. The inside of this place is cozy and if you're lucky you'll snag one of the three tables. Inside was clean and tidy so one star for that. But I do not recommend coming here for overpriced average coffee that tastes like Starbucks. read more

This might just be the new working spot for me in OC. I live in Irvine and I've been struggling to find a place that meets all the quintessential needs for a good coffee shop working session: 1. Fast, free WiFi, 2. An abundance of outlets, 3. Decent quantity of indoor and outdoor seating, 4. A parking situation that doesn't make me want to scream. On top of that the coffee is amazing and the vibes are top tier??? I'm sold. This is the place. Although to be fair, depending on when you go the seating can be limited, but there is a coworking spot next door (that I have yet to check out) and lots of outdoor seating too. This place is definitely worth coming by a little early to snag a table. I got the cafe de olla and an elote pan dulce. The cafe de olla was delicious - so flavorful and refreshing without being watered down. The elote was just okay, I have had better, but I will try out a few other things next time to see if there are some other pastries here worth pairing with my coffee. Overall, Buenas is my new spot for all the buenas (heh) vibras for my future work sessions. read more

Consistently Great Flat Whites in Costa Mesa If you're serious about coffee, Buenas in Costa Mesa is a must-visit. Every time I come here, the flat white is consistently phenomenal--smooth, rich, and perfectly textured. It's clear they care about their craft, from the quality of the beans to the precision in steaming the milk. A Fun Touch: Latte Art on Hot Chocolate The kids ordered hot chocolate, and what made it extra special? They actually did latte art on it! It's such a thoughtful detail and adds a little magic to a simple drink. Why This Spot Stands Out Beyond just great coffee, Buenas has a welcoming vibe that makes it a perfect stop, whether you're grabbing a quick cup or lingering a little longer. If you're in Costa Mesa and love well-made coffee, this place should be on your list. read more

Super quiet and chill cafe, perfect for studying or working. I got the Cafe de Olla and it was a delicious spiced syrup Americano (2 shots). The person helping me out was very helpful and detailed about explaining what was in the coffees as it was my first time there. I also got the oatmeal, which was great and warming. However, the cafés was unferstaffed (?maybe). Overall definitely would recommend and will come back to try other specialty coffees. read more

Super cute coffee shop! Came in on a Wednesday morning, and needed somewhere to take a few work meetings. I loved the decor and feel of this coffee shop. There was great music playing, and the ambiance was bright and inviting. What I loved the most was that there were outlets at all the tables! Huge plus - I feel like coffee shops sometimes have 0-1 outlet so this made my life a lot easier while taking zoom meetings. I got a coffee with their macadamia milk and was super happy with it. Definitely love this hidden coffee shop and will be back! read more

There are about 4 tables inside, open space and good for journaling or studying. There are a variety of items for sale and some art display. Nice, chill ambience! read more

Dirty Horchata was DEEEEEELICIOUS!!!!! The space is in a neat little area and there are so many creative and one of a kind drinks on the menu.

A quick Google search led us to this tucked-away coffee shop nestled between commercial and office buildings. It was quiet and nearly empty, aside from two other customers. I imagine it sees more foot traffic on weekdays when office workers are in need of a caffeine fix. We tried the Palo Santo and Dr. Good. I personally enjoyed the Dr. Good--a refreshing blend of espresso and mineral water (possibly Topo Chico?). While I didn't pick up much of the cherry flavor, I didn't mind since it still hit the spot. The Palo Santo, on the other hand, was underwhelming. Though it was recommended as a customer favorite, it lacked depth and flavor in the serving we got. The shop itself has a cozy vibe with decor that fits the "Buenas Coffee" theme nicely. That said, for the price, I still tend to favor Vietnamese coffee shops, which consistently offer bold flavors and generous portions at better value. read more

Went there on a Friday morning but I was never able to try and order the coffee. I noticed a stench in the coffee shop. It's a small space and they allowed a homeless man inside and sit in the seating area close to where you order. I quickly left the back way. I would have been ok with it but there were about 4-5 people waiting to place their order. I have never been to this coffee shop and I don't know their policies, but it's such a small confined space. The oder was so offensive I had to leave. read more
