We went here after a workout and it seems right before it got pretty busy. I got a strawberry matcha and my friend got a matcha cloud 9. The cloud 9 has a cold foam on top and she made it a banana foam. We enjoyed both of our matchas and took some to go. There isn't a ton of seating since it's a smaller coffee shop, but as people come through some seating opens up. Most people came in for pick up. Overall, service was great and the matchas were too! We would come back again. read more

I came right before valentines and was welcomed with a super cute flower stand outside their shop. They were selling small- to larger batches of flowers to customers, which was a fun and clever idea. As we were waiting for our drinks, we took some pics from their little photo booth set-up in the corner before we snagged a seat by the window. Definitely a smaller shop with less seating but you might get lucky. I came in for their iced matcha latte, unsweetened, and the smoked salmon tartine. My drink tasted less matcha-forward and more milk forward. A bit bummed about that. The smoked salmon was so good! Overall, would come back again! read more

Came here after a long morning desperately needing coffee. I checked Yelp and saw so many great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. It's a very small place and the coffee options were not giving. If you want a specialty coffee you have to add on everything to make it great. For a small 4 sip coffee that cost 7 dollars I wasn not adding foam or anything else. The service was fine, but I would not come back here for coffee. There are way too many better places that have specialtiy coffee for the same exact price. Def disappointed. read more

Coffee and matcha are here are really good. They take their time and care with making their drinks. Definitely one of our favorite coffee spots here in OC. We stop here regularly now before we head out to SCP. The staff was considerate enough for kind enough to allow me to bring my own cup of raw or A2 milk in to use in my drink next time as I am sensitive to regular dairy and not a fan of neither almond nor oat read more

The person at the register was really helpful with our orders and I ended up picking a Matcha latte with the Biscoff cream top. Inside, there are seats along the walls and a couple tables as well.

I was excited to try out this cafe that's been bookmarked for quite some time. Today was a good occasion as I was en route to LA county. The inside of the cafe has some seatings available. The pick up and order area is small so having 5 customers ahead of me made it hard to differentiate who is waiting to place the order or just waiting for their orders. The cashier was efficient. I ordered the Matcha Cloud 9 and croffles. Both items became available before the other customers who placed their orders well ahead of me. As much as I appreciated not having to wait much, it made me feel bad leaving with my order before them. The matcha was underwhelming in size and taste. It had a chalky texture and had too much ice. So the drink was finished in 4-5 sips. It's $8 for a 5-sip 12oz cup. Rather pricey and very underwhelming for what it is. The croffles were ok. I got the plain ones and it had a nice scent to it. Too sticky, flaky, and sweet for my preference. Wouldn't be reordering or revisiting again. read more

In-Sit Costa Mesa, CA is a cozy spot where the lattes are as delicious as their bites. The smoked salmon avocado toast was gorgeous to look at but satisfying with every bite. That earl grey cream croffle was exactly what we imagined it to be, delicious and rich in tea flavor. The cream top lattes is an addiction i look forward every time I walk in. Seasonal latte, matcha, cold brew, or just a vanilla latte, that cream top always hits. What's your favorite item at in-sit coffee? read more

I was in the area and wanted some matcha so I decided to check it out. The coffee shop has seatings but limited seating. I got the yorokobi ceremonial matcha latte and it took awhile to come out. The matcha wasn't sweet at all, the matcha flavor was there but it seemed watered down a bit. They seem to give a lot of ice in the drink. I had higher expectations since the price I was paying for and that it was ceremonial matcha. Not sure if I would be back again. read more

I ordered the matcha cloud 9, and the flavor was nice; I like the matcha they used. I didn't make any adjustments and it was the right sweetness for me. The only downside is that the drink itself was a tad powdery, and not quite mixed well enough. After I mixed it around for a bit with my straw, it was better! I ended up mixing it throughout as I drank it. The baristas were friendly and made the drink fast! I came in the evening, so there wasn't much of a wait, and I was able to get parking easily. read more

I went the other day with my friends and I tried the hojicha bonoffee which is a banana coffee with hojicha cream on top. It was SO GOOD. The flavors worked so well with each other and you could equally taste both. It was so good in fact, I went the next week and got it again :3!

Finally got to try In-sit Coffee! We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, and the line was out the door. There's no visible menu until you reach the register, so I winged it and picked based on the drink photos on the window--Cloud 9 and Hojicha Banoffee. The shop itself is cozy and kind of tight. The Cloud 9 came in a smaller cup, but the matcha flavor was strong and not overly sweet, if you enjoy a bit of a grassy taste. As for the Hojicha Banoffee, I couldn't really taste the banana because the hojicha overpowered it, but I would still get this again. Prices are on the higher side, but I'd definitely come back to try more of their unique drinks! read more

Very high quality matcha without being overly indulgent! The ceremonial grade powder shines through the perfect amount of sweetness so this drink is more palatable as a daily pick me up than as a sweet treat like some other matcha spots. I'd recommend going light on the sweetness level so you can get more of that matcha flavor. Still, it has a TON of creaminess and was very enjoyable! They use Rocky's Matcha and it's just the best honestly. Plus, you get a pretty large portion for the price. The service is very kind and helpful when ordering, but the wait took a very long time. Also, the space is a little cramped and busy, so you'll most likely want to take your matcha to go. Otherwise, this is still a great spot and honestly some of the best matcha I've had in OC! read more

During my stay in Costa Mesa up, the spot was right next to my hotel. After a long day of work, I decided to go in the air and see if they had any snacks or anything since I already had my fair share of caffeine for the day. Surprisingly they did. They had a strawberries and cream. Little waffle plate, and it was so delicious. The service was really great. The girls were super friendly, and we're honest and said that they had no more of their baked goods since I was coming in out around 530, but they told me that they did have a Little waffle plates. I think it's a waffle. The coffee shop is super cute as well. There are some tables where you can just chill and study or work. Whatever you prefer. There was also this interesting piece in the middle. Where multiple people could sit. It's pretty cool and surprisingly comfortable. I'm just sad. I didn't get to try the coffee because actual food was pretty delicious. read more

I've been here a couple times and haven't been disappointed! The first time I came the person working told me to get the ceremonial matcha and just add sweetener instead of getting the pre-sweetened matcha, and I think it was a great choice because my friend got the pre-sweetened matcha before and said it wasn't good. The most recent time that I went, I tried the Cloud 9, which is basically just a double matcha. It was a bit expensive for the size, but I loved it. There was a lot of matcha flavor and just a bit sweet. However I saw a lot of reviews saying it was a bit grainy and I have to agree. Also tried the avocado toast and loved it. There's nothing at all that I would change. The place itself is great, there's quite a decent amount of seating for the size of the place, and it's a great place to get some work done. I will say it might be a bit hard to find parking depending on the time that you come. read more

Saw In-sīt Coffee on a quick search for matcha for my wife in the area and decided to give it a try! Found in a shopping area off of Baker St, the parking was a bit tight and limited but on a Sunday early afternoon, parking was not an issue! Walked in and saw that the seating area was quite full with a mostly younger aged crowd - some were on their laptops looking busy and some just lounging and lazing on a Sunday afternoon. The music was definitely on some chill vibes so the ambiance was very cozy. My partner ordered the ceremonial matcha and I went with the Cafe Insight! The ceremonial matcha (unsweetened) seemed pretty legit, but I personally like my drinks sweet compared to my partner who ordered it. As a coffee enjoyer, the cafe insight was really tasty - I'd describe it as creamy with hints of citrus flavors from the roast. All in all, I definitely enjoyed the shop and the service was fast, helpful and efficient. I could see myself coming back here and would recommend trying at least once! read more

In-Sit Coffee In-Sit has become one of those places that just feels right to me. I'm a long-time local customer, and they always take such good care of me here -- it's the kind of spot where you're welcomed, remembered, and genuinely looked after. Today Ariel made me a Peruvian El Palto pour-over, and it was brewed with so much care and attention. The presentation was beautiful, and the cup itself was incredible -- naturally sweet with a maple sugar warmth, layered with a gentle lemon-chai brightness that stayed balanced and comforting all the way to the last drop. You can feel the intention behind everything they do here -- from the way the coffee is brewed to the way people are treated. It's why I keep coming back, and why I'll continue to recommend In-Sit to anyone who loves great coffee and even better hospitality. P.S. Don't want to leave out Eugine he is their coffee genius, and has the best recommendations, ask for Christmas in a Cup! read more

Their Cloud 9 Matcha is what went viral but I prefer their standard ceremonial matcha latte! They use different matcha brands in each drink but my fav is their rocky's (slightly buttery, earthy yumminess).

The baristas are nice as well. update: They changed their matcha and no longer serve Rocky's still good but not top a 10 anymore read more

Holy sugar bomb. I've been here twice and have gotten different matchas (figured first time was a fluke) and both times they were SUPER SWEET. I love my sweet don't get me wrong, but the matcha I ordered today was dang near undrinkable- couldn't even taste the matcha itself- it was literally just sugar on sugar. The $1.25 up charge for almond milk is a bit steep. Also the cup is like 85-90% ice (maybe the idea here is to let the ice melt so it's less sweet?) the pastries are the best thing here if you're into that sort of thing. For almost $16 though for a drink and pastry, as much as I love supporting local, I've gotta take my matcha obsession elsewhere. read more

Both were very delicious & had the perfect ratio of sweet rich notes of espresso. The vibe in here on a Saturday late afternoon was very relaxing where people were on their computers & chit chatting. Our service was above & beyond. As we had come in right before closing and left a wallet there on accident. Right when we called they answered (after closing, so thank you very very much) and happily assisted us with retrieving it!

Loving the Double Pistachio Latte series!…read more Picture rich pistachio paste at the bottom, smooth coffee or grassy matcha in the middle, and then a creamy pistachio foam on top, finished with a line of crushed pistachios for extra texture. Every sip hits a little different depending on how you mix it, and it stays balanced the whole time. Nutty, creamy, sweet, and ultra satisfying. Between the two, I like the coffee version more, but you really can't go wrong with either! The ambiance here is just as good as the drinks. It's super spacious with lots of seating, and has an edgy, industrial aesthetic. This is a solid spot to catch up with friends or to just sit and sip. Also shoutout to the cashiers and baristas for being super friendly and relaxed. Definitely one of my regular stops now :)

This location definitely has a different vibe though where it feels like a modern, cool cafeteria mixed with a coffee shop. Super open, airy, and really family friendly with a ton of outdoor space for kids to run around. The service was also really friendly, which made the experience even better. The matcha was really good and so was the iced latte. Just a heads up on parking: the lot directly in front of the building is only 20-minute parking, and the main lot across the street is paid parking. Overall though, really fun atmosphere and a great spot to hang out, work for a bit, or bring family/friends

Excellent coffee. 10/10 would recommend. Fast service and friendly too. This coffee gets the basics…read moreright, and that's what makes it good. The aroma hits first. It smells warm and slightly nutty, with a hint of chocolate. Not overpowering, just inviting. The first sip is smooth and balanced. There's enough richness to feel satisfying, but it's not heavy or bitter. The acidity is mild, which makes it easy to drink without that sharp, sour edge some coffees have. It has a subtle sweetness on its own, so it doesn't need much sugar. If you add milk, it blends well without losing its character. What stands out most is the finish. It's clean and lingers just long enough to make you want another sip. No burnt aftertaste, no harsh bite. Overall, it's a solid, dependable cup. Not overly complex, but comforting and well made. The kind of coffee you'd happily drink every morning.

Although, I wished the size was a little bigger, my matcha felt really small; and I don't remember having the option to choose a size. The workers were fast and got our drinks out in no time. This shop is located at the back of the bloomingdale's, surrounded by other neighboring restaurants and food stalls. It was really easy to spot this place!

The first time I tried the Mango Mango and Cocoa Mango, both were pretty solid--very refreshing and enjoyable. On my second visit, I ordered the Mango Mango again, but it was a letdown. The mangoes tasted unusually sour, almost overripe, and even had a slightly carbonated taste, which was off-putting. I decided to give it one more try, and thankfully, the third visit was much better. The Mango Mango was back to being delicious, with the mangoes tasting fresh and sweet like they should be. Overall, the drinks can be really good, but the inconsistency makes it a bit of a gamble--especially at that price point.

It's often difficult to find a clean table to sit at, which takes away from the overall experience. I hope they can improve on this because otherwise, it's a fantastic spot.

They had a great many pastries to choose from as well as some sandwiches. They have a few coffee choices as well as a cooler with bottled water, juices, and other drinks. The smiling workers took my order of an iced cafe au lait and a lemon tart. Their seating is all outside under umbrellas, which makes for a relaxing spot to enjoy your beverage and pastry while people watching. There is a cart with napkins, utensils, straws, etc. as well as a place to return your plates and dispose of trash. The lemon tart was sumptuous. It had a citrusy-tart yet slightly sweet lemon flavor with a dollop of lemon curd on the top-center. The crust was excellent too. The coffee was good but a bit more bitter than I like. Still, it complemented the pastry well. While it might be a little tricky to find on your first visit, it's worth it!
