    Coffee and spices blended perfectly for the taste buds. We tried the chailo and the Spanish latte, both were delicious and well balanced. The place wasn't busy, which made it even more enjoyable, with a cozy atmosphere both inside and outside. If you're not used to bold spices, I'd recommend adjusting the level so it's not too strong for your preference. Overall, a warm and inviting spot worth checking out.

    Sara made a custom hojicha for me and it was soo good. Definitely going to look out for next time she's extremely helpful.

    Unfortunately, we didn't one warning trying to get a cup of coffee, but found out quickly that they didn't have any decaf. Also right before I order they had to turn down another customer because they didn't have rose flavored syrup to make a specific drink for that person, and it was only 9 AM on a Saturday morning. I will be going back because I didn't get to try anything currently I can only have the cat so I'll come back with someone else so we can try some of it and I could take a few tips of the drink so I don't get too caffeinated per my doctors orders. The staff was friendly. The inside is super nice. I love the tile work.

    Caramel date latte
    Jacob S.

    Overall we had a good time visiting Chailo the other day! The cafe is a very nice spot, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (on a warmer day, would love to sit outside on the patio). I believe the owner was working there the day we stopped in. He was so friendly, which we especially appreciated since it was our first time. We both got the caramel date lattes. The flavor of this is very nice, but for my preference I felt like it almost had a grainy texture. Will definitely be coming back to try some of the other lattes the offer (banana bread latte? Yes please!)

    Pistachio cream date caramel latte and pistachio cream matcha latte
    Hena L.

    Such a yummy spot! There's too many drinks and food we want to try. I will be back. The owner was so kind and very accommodating. He let us change our drinks and we got a pistachio cream date caramel latte as well as a pistachio cream matcha. Both were so delicious and I can't wait to come back. The playlist was playing all kinds of bangers! This can also be a good study spot, we noticed various outlets and tables. There is a parking lot for this building. We tried the carrot cake and that was also so delicious!

    Stopped by while in the area for the DMV. Unfortunately Chailo didn't open until 9 which was a little later than I was used to for a coffee shop. Once inside, Chailo had a very open seating area with a lot of seating. Once at the counter, I was greeted promptly. I ordered a hot almond milk latte and my order came out pretty quick (I was just second in line though). The latte was the right temperature, but the latte left a bit of an acidic taste on the back of my tongue. It was almost like the espresso was under extracted. I have had espresso from beans that were more acidic, but this was a different sensation.

    Kashmiri chai

    I feel so spoiled by the plethora of cute cafes in OC sometimes and Chailo is extra cute! I was on the hunt for a spot where I could do some coworking with colleagues and a quick search with Yelp Assistant revealed that Chailo fit the bill. Free WiFi? Check. Outlets? Check. Plenty of seating? Check. Free parking? Check! And the cherry on top is the drinks are so yummy! I got the kashmiri chai. Its pink hue intrigued me and I wanted something with a bit of caffeine but not a coffee. It was so delicious and refreshing. And the space was surprisingly not too crowded which made it the perfect spot to hunker down and get some work done for a couple hours. I will definitely be back!

    House Chai Latte and Hojicha Latte (Oat)
    Holly S.

    Really enjoyed the Hojicha Latte with Oat Milk. Opted for no agave and it was delicious without sweetness. Love the Smokey taste of the toasted green tea. Will for sure be getting this again soon! Service was a bit slow. There's a small parking lot, so parking might be kind of a challenge depending on time of visit. Inside is spacious, sofa and lounge area, but also a handful of small two person tables. There also a patio area that's quite big.

    Chailo is a small coffee shop located near Triangular Square in Costa Mesa. They have indoor seating as well as patio seating. The decor is a bit minimalistic and could definitely use some work. The 1 or 2 dessert options they had here looked disappointing. Kashmiri Chai ($6) - Rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. It's a comforting drink that I have made at home. I do wish that they had included a sprinkle of pistachio nuts as well as some biscuits to dip in it it. Overall, I did enjoy my drink and my co-workers enjoyed there drinks as well (Spanish Latte). Overall my experience here was 3.5 but I'm rounding them up to 4 because they are a new business. Hopefully they will have some better sweet offerings in the near future like milk cakes, cheese cakes, baklava, etc.

    Vanilla latte with house made syrup
    Vu N.

    Chailo. They took over the Vegan burger spot in Costa Mesa. Had lots of parking. Plenty of outdoor space. Plenty of seating inside. Lots of potential to be a great coffee shop. Service was excellent. Owners super nice. Very passionate about this project Coffee got myself an iced vanilla latte made with house made syrups. Drink was pretty good. I did want a little more vanilla flavor. But overall a good latte. This place just made me want a little more. I wanted it to feel more like a coffee shop. Once they get the experience down. It will hopefully get to its full potential.

    Super trendy- got the chailo latte hot and it in iced form!
    Claire M.

    I saw this spot on social media and it really lived up to the hype! The interior was super cute and sleek, and tons of spots for studying. The staff member who was taking our order was super helpful (we wanted to try so many different lattes ), and ended up getting the chai coffee latte hot and iced (I believe the iced version is called kajuk?). The drinks were super warm and comforting (as a big chai lover) so it was delicious with coffee. They also brought out some chai for me to try if I lived in the area I'd absolutely come back more often!

    Good vibes only, love it!

    I always fancy myself a delicious warm cup of chai (fresh milk tea with spices) and Chailo delivers none other than that! A fairly new business in Costa Mesa, Chailo certainly delivers and is a great new spot for your caffeine run! The House Chai here is great and really made me feel at home! It has a perfect balance of tea, milk, and spices and not overly sweet just the way I enjoy it. The Chailo Latte also hit the spot as it provided great flavor with a strong yet refreshing taste of espresso. I also really loved how aesthetically peaceful the interior is designed. The baristas were super friendly and they truly cared about our quality of drinks and that was awesome! As a believer and fond lover of chai and tea drinks, I sincerely wish this establishment the best of luck and hope to see more spots serving up homemade style chai and coffee drinks arise throughout Orange County!

    I visited Chailo on a Tuesday afternoon on Veterans Day to study for a midterm with friends. I appreciated that they had parking in the back since it's usually difficult to find parking in that area. The worker who helped us was very friendly. I ordered their iced house chai & loved it. My friends also enjoyed the drinks & pastries they got--including a churro latte, croissant, & spanish latte. I loved the interior setup & the outdoor seating area. I'll definitely be coming back to study here again.

I am sure I have saved more than my membership and the cost of drinks alone. They do definite heavy pores and it's worth every penny to join. The elks have a acronym bpoe... Which stands for best people on Earth, and they're not lying. Especially at this Lodge. This place is absolutely wonderful, they serve great food, and I have something going every single night of the week. This place has one of the best bars I have seen, and has pool tables, TVs all over the place, and just a great vibe to it. If you had even considered becoming an elk, I suggest you do it. There are lodges all over the nation, and you really need to check it out. And when you are in California, Orange county, in particular, you need to come to the elks Lodge here in Newport Beach. It will change your life and rock your world. Bottom line? I really didn't know that I needed to be a part of a lodge until I joined the Elks. They do such great humanitarian work, and this Lodge in particular is very big on supporting veterans, and other charity causes. Go check them out today!

Here are a couple of things that really made this club special. 1st thing is that everyone is so welcoming. The very first time I visited this club I felt extremely welcomed. 2nd thing is that this club is not afraid to talk about any topic. They really live by their motto "No topic is taboo" because I heard speeches and talks on very controversial topics such as politics, religion, and sex to name a few. What is remarkable though is how everyone is so respectful of other people's opinion that the club really creates a safe space to talk about anything. 3rd thing is that the members are very diverse from age, race, gender, occupation, family, recreation. There are young 25 yr olds all the way to 65+ both male and female that are engineers, sales, c level executives, students, entrepreneurs, single, married, kids, no kids, as wells as people from all the continents (except Antarctica...nobody really lives there). If anything just visit the club and see what it's all about.

Yes, the lines can get long, but it moves quickly depending on how many trains they have in operation. The ride itself lasts maybe 15 minutes or so but at the same time I feel like it's just the right amount of time. As you wander around a large field, you get great views of the surrounding area, but don't forget to look around at things closer to you. They've hidden a good amount of surprises like fairy doors all around the track. The monthly free rides day is one of our kids' favorite days of the month. If you are looking for a really unique experience in Orange County that is also very nice on the wallet, you don't need to look any further than here.
