What cute spot that you'll find next to The Camp in Costa Mesa. It's in the small shopping center right on the outside of it but easy enough to walk to first and then stroll around the area! Workers are friendly and made our drinks fast! They are yummy! There's a covered seatinf are right outside. No bathrooms I believe. There's some parking out front but your best bet is to park around The Camp or The LAB and make a day of it!! read more

Daydrift is definitely a drink for the Gram, but a little too curated for my taste. I ordered the Strawberry Yuzu Matcha latte with 50% sweetness. It tasted like milk and sugar. I knew it was a fru fru drink from the beginning, but I didn't think it'd be overwhelming sweet with no matcha taste whatsoever. A little something for foodfluencers. :) Cute and aesthetically pleasing cafe, with limited indoor+outdoor seating. Located in a small strip mall with extremely LIMITED parking, especially on the weekends. read more

Unfortunately, while the service was nice and there was almost no wait, my mugwort latte was made with whole milk instead of the oat milk I substituted for. I had told the cashier that I'm lactose intolerant but I'm assuming someone slipped the oat milk note on the cup. Definitely ruined my evening and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone sensitive to cheap whole milk. I can usually handle whole milk from Strauss and Alexandre but this was generic gallon whole milk. I also found the matcha and mugwort to be on the weaker side and this is definitely more of a dessert store than a serious matcha store like Chafinity. Drink at your own risk. Parking at the CAMP is horrific as usual. read more

Daydrift - Menu April 2026 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

First time here! I tried the pandan matcha and customized it with the pandan butterfly cream on top because I wanted to try the blue-colored foam. I also got the strawberry yuzu matcha latte. The location was a little tricky to find- it's right next to the Chevron gas station. Service was quick and efficient. The space is small but has a nice vibe, with a bit of outdoor seating. I loved both drinks and definitely want to come back to try more! read more

Great new drink spot. I got the hojicha with matcha foam and my sister grabbed the pandan matcha. Both are delicious and we would like to come back and try the other drinks. Small space with cozy seating. We came on a weekday so easy parking and small line. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Daydrift is one of those places I can't believe I didn't notice sooner, especially since it's so close to The Camp. It's tucked away in the corner with a few other food spots, and while parking in the front is a bit limited, there's actually plenty of space in the back which makes it much easier than it looks at first. Inside is a bit on the smaller side, but they do have both indoor and outdoor seating, and honestly the outdoor area was my favorite. It has a more open, relaxed feel that makes it really nice to sit and hang out. The worker was super friendly, which made the experience even better. I got the Mugwort Matcha Duo, and I'll admit the name "mugwort" threw me off at first and caught me by surprise. But it turns out it's paired with pandan cream top and butterfly pea, which made it a lot less intimidating than it sounds. I also got the banana pudding, but forgot to take a picture of it lol. The banana pudding was good, just a bit on the sweeter side for my preference. The drink itself was really well done. The pandan cream top was light and smooth, which let both the matcha and pandan come through without either one overpowering the other. The combination felt balanced and interesting, especially with the butterfly pea adding a subtle twist in flavor and color. It's one of those drinks that feels a bit unique without being too overwhelming. I'd definitely come back again to try their other drinks since the menu looks like it has a lot of creative options worth exploring. read more

Daydrift - Mugwort Matcha Duo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I came here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon, and it was super busy! Parking was nearly impossible to find because Daydrift is located in a pretty popular plaza with plenty of other stores, but we managed to make it work. The store itself was small and the line was out the door when we got there. We placed our order and waited outside because they only had a couple tables. There was a little outdoor area connected to it, but there were only 2 tables. It took about ~15 mins for two drinks, but I expected that because of how long the line was. Mugwort matcha (8/10) - Matcha flavor was very strong, but I could still taste the mugwort flavoring. Very yummy and pretty to look at! I would totally get this again. Pandan matcha latte (8.75/10) - My friend got this and loved it. I took a sip and honestly preferred it over my own drink, and I would be down to get this next time. Overall, a cute store with good drinks, but the parking situation was bad and wait can be a little long. read more

Bumped into this place in the LAB plaza since another matcha cafe was closed so we came in to give it a shot :3 **ORDERED Hojicha Matcha $7.50 Creamy hojicha latte with the matcha foam on top certainly hit my caffeine level loved the creaminess of the 2 mixed together Pandan Matcha $7.50 My friend ordered it since she loves Pandan and it did not disappoint! Matcha was creamy and the Pandan coconut flavor was just the right balance **PEOPLE When we came in, they seemed to have a problem displaying the menu on the big display screen so we just pulled it up on yelp ;) cashier was very welcoming and patient with us as we decided between the variety of matcha choices **VIBES The cafe itself was small but they do have outdoor seating area that was enclosed which looked really beautiful. The ambience was the vintage beach drift sort of vibe which gave a sense of calm! Overall: I would for sure come back to try the other matchas as they have so many different kinds! read more

Cute little matcha corner! Every drink coming out looked super aesthetic, but I had my eyes set on the most unique item: the Mugwort Matcha Duo! It's got this earthy, slightly grainy base topped with a cloud of sweet pandan foam. I really like the flavor of mugwort, even though it overpowers the matcha. Service was quick, but I actually wouldn't mind waiting a little longer if they took that extra time to thoroughly mix and dissolve the matcha powder. I think this would help create a smoother mouthfeel and remove visible matcha clumps. The shop is still pretty new, so there's definitely room for improvement! read more

Daydrift is a cutesy little cafe tucked in the corner of a busy plaza. Parking is definitely ridiculous, especially after noon. However, I really enjoy their banana pudding matcha so I don't mind circling around the parking lot a couple times. Every time I've stopped in, the staff is so sweet and generally quick to make their lattes. I can't speak for their other drinks, as I really only come here for the banana pudding matcha since it's one of my favorite dessert lattes right now. The matcha is smooth and honestly gets overshadowed by the housemade banana pudding, but I like that strong banana flavor. Also when the cookie melts in and you taste little cookie chunks... I love it. I recommend giving it a try at least once. Get your banana pudding matcha then stroll through The Camp or hang out at their little outdoor seating area. read more

Arrived here on a Thursday early afternoon. It wasn't busy and so I thought I would get my drink fairly soon. Unfortunately, it took 20 minutes to get one drink. I had to keep checking. They did not announce the order numbers either. Loved the pandan matcha latte. It had a nice earthy taste and the matcha had a bright green color. You can really taste the pandan flavoring too. I probably wouldn't come here again, only because the customer service was okay. And the parking lot is extremely small. read more

Daydrift - Pandan matcha latte and Ube Rice Krispie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

A semi decent matcha spot. I think it's a little over hyped. The matcha itself was mid quality. I've definitely had a lot better. The syrups had an odd flavor to them that i cant quite put my finger on. I would rate the matcha a 4/10. The matcha flavor really fell short, it was masked too much by the milk. The cashier was kind. The parking isn't the best in the area, I had to make a few laps before a spot finally opened up. The inside was very crowded, all of the tables were full. read more

This coffee cafe is located in The Camp in Costa Mesa! So depending on when you go, parking can be especially tricky in the evening (during busy hours). The staff was helpful in recommending drinks for me to pick. Ordered the following: - Matcha Latte with vanilla syrup - Pandan Matcha Latte - Banana Pudding Matcha Latte The cafe is cutely designed with lots of greenery! Each of the drinks came out cutely designed and super aesthetic. The drinks leaned a bit on the sweeter side while still highlighting the matcha. read more

Daydrift is a newer matcha spot located at The Camp with some unique Asian-inspired drinks. Parking here can definitely be a challenge, but really depends on the day and time in which you come. Inside, the shop is on the smaller side with a majority of its seating options outside on their patio area. For their menu, they have some unique drink options to choose from. Wifey and I stopped by for our weekend matcha run and opted to try the Pandan Coconut Mizu Matcha and the Mugwort Matcha Duo. Both drinks had interesting flavor profiles with beautiful presentation. All of the staff here are chill and welcoming. We will be back forsure to try some of their other drink options! read more

Daydrift - Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I visited Daydrift Matcha this past Saturday afternoon and tried the Pandan Matcha and the Strawberry Yuzu Matcha. Both drinks looked really pretty, but the taste was a bit underwhelming for me. I think social media set my expectations really high, and I could barely taste the matcha in either drink. The pandan drink leaned on the sweeter side and the pandan flavor was stronger than the matcha. The strawberry yuzu tasted more like yuzu with some tartness from the strawberry, and I was not the biggest fan of the chunky pieces in the drink. They also add an herb garnish on top, which I personally did not enjoy, so next time I would ask for it without that. Parking was also difficult when we came, probably because it was a Saturday afternoon, and that made the visit a little stressful. The shop itself is cute and I like the concept, but I am not sure I would go out of my way to come back. I might give it another try and order something different, but for now I feel like there are better matcha spots around. read more

I visited Daydrift on a Saturday mid-afternoon with a friend. As usual, the parking lot was very crowded & there were no spots open when we first drove in, but we were very lucky because we noticed that a car was pulling out shortly after we arrived. This was my third time attempting to visit Daydrift since the line was way too long the past couple times. Fortunately, there was no line this visit--there still wasn't any spots open to sit down, but it was no worries since we weren't planning on staying anyway. I liked how many plants they had to decorate the space & the lively ambiance. I thought that they had great selection & appreciate that they had a few drinks with ingredients that aren't often featured in other cafes, including mugwort & blue milk. I ordered the banana pudding matcha & altered it to be 50% sweet while my friend got the mugwort matcha duo. We both absolutely loved our drinks. Daydrift will be hearing from us again, because we want to try their other options! read more

Located in The Camp, Daydrift Coffee fits right into the aesthetic atmosphere of the plaza. I came here on Valentine's Day to see what all the buzz was from Tiktok, and I was sadly disappointed. We ordered the strawberry yuzu matcha latte and the banana pudding matcha. Both didn't taste too strongly of matcha and was dominated by the milk, tasting more like a sweet milky drink with hints of strawberry. I thought the banana pudding matcha was at least better than the strawberry since it reminded me of banana milk and the pudding itself was pretty good. While the presentation of the drinks is phenomenal and I loved the lil heart they added for Valentine's, the matcha was a letdown. I'm curious to know if their coffee tastes better. Good luck finding parking if you visit during a busy time... we had to park near The Lab (another strip mall with similar vibes) and cross the street to get here. Overall, I would skip on the matcha here unless you want nice pictures. read more

She also got us some water as we waited Not a lot of space in there at all esp when busy, and it was raining outside, so coming into a very small space with it already packed and no ability to go outside was kind of stressful. But I'm sure on a sunny day the patio is beautiful and spacious. read more

Found this popping spot on social media so we had to check it out. It's located in the Camp of Costa Mesa, few stores down from The Taco Stand. When we arrived on Saturday, it was quite busy. We only waited for about 15 mins top. Seating is very limited, but they do have a nice cozy outside area with plants providing shade. We ordered their Banana Matcha Einspanner, and the Drift Coffee, both a 4/5. The presentation is beautiful and the flavor profile is good. I like how they use real banana and not powdered, but the drink was a little bit too sweet for me. The Drift coffee was good, but a lil too smoky and earthy. I saw a lot of people ordering matcha, so probably get that next to try. read more

I heard all about the craze of Daydrift on social media, so I decided to check it out. The shop use to be Milk & Honey, before the owner decided to change it to Daydrift. Matcha is all the craze now. I actually walked, after eating nearby from a restaurant. I didn't have to deal with the horrible parking at The Camp. Luckily when I went, there was no line at all. It was around 1 pm on a Friday, but I'm not sure about now. This was a week, after their soft opening. The worker was friendly and asked us about our day. I decided to go with the strawberry yuzu matcha latte, and my boyfriend got the pandan coconut matcha latte. There's about 2 tables inside, and about 3 more tables outside. However, space is tight inside the shop. Finding a spot to stand inside the shop can be tough, when it gets busy. It did take awhile to make the drinks, but I didn't mind the wait. Plus, the shop is still in their soft opening. After we ordered, a rush of people came in. Once we got our drinks, I did notice something. On my drink, there were clumps of matcha which I found odd. I'm not sure if it was an aesthetic thing, or the worker just didn't properly mix it. This also made my drink taste a bit gritty. I had to mix all the matcha bits, before I took a sip of my drink. There was hints of yuzu in the drink, which was nice. However once I mixed everything, all I tasted was the strawberry puree. To be honest, the drinks were pretty sweet. I could barely taste the matcha in my drink. I even ended up saving my drink the next day, and it was still too sweet. My boyfriend actually ended up throwing his drink away, since it wasn't good at all. Prices are also pretty expensive for a drink, being at $7.50. Unfortunately, I fell for the hype of social media again. I do this to myself all the same, and am disappointed each time. Don't fall for the hype. I do not see myself coming back to this shop at all. Drinks are overpriced, and have barely any matcha flavor. Also, parking is rough here. read more

Either I went in a bad day, or tik tok catfished me. This place is in such a busy time square that the parking sucks. There's little to no parking where some people are just parking on the street. I knew I was in the wrong place when I was standing in line & saw the color of the matcha. It was very sewer green & tasted very grainy & artificial. On the flip side, the inside was very cutesy with a lot of places to sit, study, or just chill with your friends. read more

My girlfriend & I were super excited to try Daydrift as we both appreciate a good matcha. We went during the week with our kiddos to avoid the crowds & were able to get there with ample parking at the camp. Service was wonderful, we were greeted right when we walked in & the girl that helped us was friendly & patient while we looked over the menu. I do appreciate that their syrups are made in house & also they have a detailed description of where they get their matcha from. I ordered the strawberry yuzu matcha half sweet & my friend customized her matcha & got a salted vanilla cream matcha latte. I personally love a matcha latte that isn't overpowered by the syrup/added ingredients & would def recommend getting it half sweet. I also loved the presentation of the drink, it was cute & tasted great! Also super happy to say that there were no clumps of matcha in my drink so it was whisked thoroughly. Would come back again to try some of their other items! read more

It's too strong for me. I love viet coffee but this just didn't do it for me. If it was a bit less strong. I would have liked it Good news. Their pandan matcha latte was so good. Great pandan flavor. Tad sweet but close enough to get me to come back and get this again and try their other drinks. If I didn't like the matcha as much as I do. I would do 4 stars.

Daydrift is such a visually appealing spot with drinks that taste just as good as they look. The matcha was very good overall, and my favorite by far was the strawberry matcha. It had a nice balance of sweetness and earthy matcha flavor, and the layers made it both refreshing and fun to drink. My second favorite was the drift cream coffee, which was smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The coconut matcha had a very strong coconut flavor that slightly overpowered the matcha for me, so it wasn't my top pick, but if you love coconut you would probably enjoy it. The cafe itself is very aesthetically pleasing, and all the staff members were extremely nice and friendly. It is probably not the best place to sit and study for a long time, but it is definitely a great spot to grab a drink while shopping or walking around. I would come back to try more of their seasonal drinks. read more
