Looking for an afternoon pick-me-up in the area and knowing I didn't want to sponsor the corporate giant of coffees, I found this place. It's in a weird location, with the front door opening to a gas station. But once you get past that, it's definitely not filling-station fare! We each loved our drinks, which were a bit different than found elsewhere. I got the banana coco and a chocolate croissant. The other half got a lavender latte and almond croissant. All was delicious and we were fighting each other for flavors. The interior is clean and there is ample seating. The staff was super friendly and thoughtful, not rushing us through our order. I have added this to my list of favorite places! read more

I dropped off my little one at a day camp close by. Went with my usual coffee order and opened up my laptop. Found myself at a small table for six, with 2 other people and an outlet on the wall behind me. I decided to stay much longer than anticipated, because the vibe was good, and orderd a croissant and another drink. Patty gave me great service and recommendations. She also remembered my name, so that is always a plus. Its the kind of place where you can spend a couple hours. They have a little library with a couple games too. I ended up here 5 days in a row! read more

Long Black Coffee - Library - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I usually went to the Fountain Valley spot because it was the easiest for me to get to, but now that they've opened this one, I've been stopping by more often. The staff is just as friendly as they were at the old place. And the drinks are always the same! If you haven't tried their cookie butter latte, you absolutely have to! I usually ask for it half sweet, since I'm not a big fan of sweet drinks, but feel free to adjust it to your liking. read more

First time here & the einspanner did not disappoint, I really look forward to trying it again! Glad we stumbled by this small coffee shop tucked away in a lot across Boil & Bake. The baristas were awesome, interior was clean and uniquely furnished, bathroom was clean, parking was not bad. Would definitely come back here again to explore their menu and other flavors! read more

Long Black Coffee - 2 einspanner's with oat milk and whole milk, yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This might be my newest favorite spot for a banana matcha because that banana cream top was just perfection. It was a bit sweet, but when combined with the matcha, it was just right. The space felt very open and minimal but still had some mid-century modern style furniture for you to hang out with some friends or get some work done. They also have some board games to play as well some shelves that display merch and coffee beans from Korea for sale! Honestly, you'd never know there was this coffee spot unless you look past the gas station and semi-dated plaza, but I definitely appreciate another nearby spot to add to my rotation for solid matcha drinks. Service was really quick and overall friendly. Space felt very clean and definitely would return to try their other drinks! read more

A colleague brought me a coconut macadamia latte from here one morning and I've been wanting to come back for my own experience. Today was that day! When I arrived, parking was a bit busy but I found a spot. I walked instead to smiling faces. They gave a few recommendations and I chose the pistachio cream latte. They let me know that the croissants were made in house so of course I had to get one as well! I picked the spinach kale croissant. If it has greens it's healthy right? I explored the decor while I waited. It's a cute little place with some seating. Once they called my name, I excitedly hurried over to try my drink and croissant. The verdict? AMAZING! All of it. I could go back tomorrow and be just as impressed. read more

Long Black Coffee sits near the eastern Costa Mesa / North Newport Beach border on Bristol, where there's a dearth of Asian coffee shops, so when this one opened up in the neighborhood, we had to go pay a visit! I'm a sucker for creamy, cloud-like textures, so naturally I ordered the Einspänner. The coffee part was strong and delicious, while the thick, velvety hazelnut cream top was such a decadent treat. Of course I had to take a few sips of the hazelnut cream top before mixing it into the coffee. I'd highly recommend it if you've never had an Einspänner. I'm looking forward to trying the pistachio cream latte, biscoff cookie butter latte, or corn latte next time! read more

Could have came here for work but I didn't bc it was Sabbath. I didn't see any tables where you can park and work for a few hours. You prolly could. But if you need coffee before flight, this is the place to get yo caffeine. It's right across from that nice hotel so it's quite convenient. The waifu was commenting on how nice the prices were. No need to make your own 'bucks drinks to save a few bucks. Also it's got a nice library so it's definitely vibing and welcoming atmosphere to just sit and chill before a busy flight schedule.

The space is small but cozy and cute. They have some books and board games to spend the time here. Small parking lot thats shared with the gas station and other shops. Ordered the hot Orange Bourbon Cardamom latte; wow! Its not for the faint of heart because it does have a very particular taste. The taste of orange peels is strong and makes the coffee mildy bitter but the sweetness and oat milk balance it out perfectly. Its such a unique drink and soooo good!! The syrups are definitely homemade and make the drink so special. Service was quick, several staff members working in the back. Super friendly when they handed me my drink. Will be back! read more

I was in the area for an appointment and I love checking out new coffee shops and Long Black Coffee did not disappoint. There didn't seem to be much parking considering the other shops in the strip mall. However, I got some gas and stayed parked there while I ran in to get coffee. No outdoor seating but a few tables and comfy chairs inside to accommodate. I believe I also saw a few shelves full of board games. The gentleman welcomed me as soon as I walked in which I absolutely love. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided on the iced coconut macadamia latte. It was so delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness, full of flavor, and the coffee wasn't bitter at all. I will definitely return if I'm back in the area. read more

Iced einspanner. I love coffees topped with cream. It completes the look. Seating inside includes a big community table and a few smaller tables. Located on the corner of Bristol/Redhill next to the Arco gas station. I order on the app and pick up my drink. Rewards program! Baristas are friendly and it feels calm inside. read more

This coffee shop happened to be right across the hotel we were staying at and I'm glad I stopped by. Greeted with a friendly welcome and the service was great. I was happy to see that had stuff to eat because that's always a plus. A good pastry and coffee bomb! I ordered their strawberry cream cheese croissant and their biscoff cookie butter iced latte. My gosh they were both very yummy. The best part is that they were not extremely busy and I received my items fast. Place is also big enough to stay and enjoy it there if you want to. read more

The staff here is super friendly and very good at their craft. You get the same service as all of their other locations. The new iced espresso orange bourbon cardamom is packed with a light cardamom flavor accompanied by orange bourbon cocktail like flavor. This is one of those sip in a glass cup drinks that you need to sit and enjoy in house. It's just classy and refreshing for summer. 5/5 stars Orange bourbon cardamom lattes is very similar to the iced espresso with not milk added. I prefer the balanced flavors in the iced espresso but if you need a larger version this is it! Summer drinks are on point for April! 4/5 stars Croffle with cream - crispy outside soft inside like a waffle should be. Sweet cream on top is perfectly sweet. It's a good light breakfast. 4/5 stars Jalepeno cheese Croffle with bacon green onion is packed with flavor from the Croffle to the cream topping. Fresh green onions with bacon is great combo. 5/5 stars read more

Usually go to the Long Black Coffee in the Fountain Valley, but wanted to check out their new location in Costa Mesa. It was in a small area near a gas station. Parking was okay but can be packed if the area becomes busy. The interior was small, cozy, and modern with a few seating (some small tables and a longer one). The staff was friendly and welcoming as I entered. Ordered my go to Ice Pistachio Latte. Which was as good as I recalled from the other location. Can taste a little bit of nuttiness from the drink. read more

Have been here a couple of times and loved their banana cloud espresso lattes. The employees give off the stereotypical "gen z" vibe where I get a blank stare until I'm forced to give my order. Very limited seating but decent for a coffee shop of that size. Still worth going back for their coffee! read more

Stopped by the Long Black Coffee location in Costa Mesa for the first time after having been to their Fountain Valley shop before. This location was noticeably less crowded, which made it a really pleasant place to grab coffee and relax. I ordered my go-to, the Madagascar vanilla latte served hot, and it was just as great as I remembered from the other location. Smooth, well balanced, and not overly sweet. The staff were very friendly and welcoming on the day I visited, and the interior has a modern, clean design that feels comfortable without being sterile. You wouldn't think that given that it was located in a gas station parking lot with an unassuming entrance. read more

Long Black Coffee - Iced Orange Bourbon Cardamom - added cold foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

It took me a couple wrong turns to find Long Black in an unassuming gas station parking lot. Was a little apprehensive at first but was quickly humbled and reminded of the life lesson: don't judge a book by its cover. Was told the iced einspanner ($6.50) is a hit so went with it. Requested a single shot as it was inching close to my 3p coffee cut off time. Also substituted almond milk for whole milk ($1). Gosh I really really loved my drink. Like a lot. The traditional einspanner with espresso, short milk pour, and cream top all in one sip was fantastic. I will absolutely be back for more, perhaps try their FV location. Thanks Long Black for delivering on an exceptional einspanner. You did the opposite of disappoint! read more

The coffee is great quality and the matcha is also very good. I wish they used more homemade syrups but the flavor combinations are great! The pastries are great too! I wish they would have a toaster instead of microwave. The staff are so friendly. read more

WOW!!!! I am such a big fan of banana lattes so when I saw that they had a monkey mocha latte (banana and chocolate), I was so excited! The banana flavor is from a housemade banana syrup!!! The monkey mocha (I ordered mine half sweet) was sooooo good. It was a perfect balance of banana and chocolate!!! I will definitely be getting that again next time. I tried some of my friend's pistachio cream latte and that was delicious too! I'm not normally a pistachio inclined person but it was yummy and I could drink the whole thing. I also tried a regular iced latte, and it was pretty good. But next time I go back, I will definitely be getting their monkey mocha again. The space inside is cute. I love that this coffee shop is literally right by the Arco. So random but so fun! read more

A new Long Black location, prime spot A small, but accessible, parking lot Near main roads and gas stations, if to fill your tank, you need A small space turned coffee shop, like many, indeed Five paired tables, 1 big table, a little bench seat Display case with the iconic croissant treat I ordered a (half sweet) oat milk matcha latte And I felt it was good to okay For the people who complain about ice quantity, it is filled high For those who like a touch of sweet, don't half modify It does have a distinct matcha taste, green a nice shade It doesn't top my current OC faves for a matcha well made But, it is nice to know it's there and I look forward to revisiting for a different drink order share Overall, grab a drink on your way And have a beautiful day. xo- Op Add on (repeat visits): Almond croissant: delicious Honey oat latte: good read more

Long Black Coffee - Banana Cloud! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

i usually go to their fountain valley location + occasionally to cortado in garden grove, but the drinks are always consistent regardless of the store! my go-to drink is the biscoff cookie butter latte - 5/5 with oat milk! no other places compare to long black for this in my opinion. seating is super limited at this location (maybe 6 seats at a big table with no nearby outlets and then some other seats scattered around). the wifi is pretty good though, so if you're able to snag a seat here, it's a fine place to study! parking was a bit limited (thur afternoon) and is only for 2 hours read more

This location just opened for their soft opening recently so it is pretty bare. We ordered the banana latte (decaf) and the chai tea latte both iced. The banana latte was absolutely perfect but the chai latte was on the spicier side. It seemed like the peppercorn was on the stronger side and I wouldn't reccomend. Be patient with the workers! Seems like they only have one person working at a time right now read more

I love long black! I've been going to the fountain valley location for a while and had no idea this one has been around for a few months now. The coffee is great, the baristas are kind, this location is kind of in an odd spot. Unless you stop to pump gas or know it's there, you'll probably miss it. I typically order their espainner but decided to try the biscoff latte and it was definitely tasty. I haven't tried their food but they have a few treats if you're hungry as well. read more

Very solid einspanners! Inside is cute and wasn't crowded. I saw 2 outlets from when I looked around the seating. I liked the einspanner latte more than the tiramisu but the tiramisu latte was pretty similar. The hazelnut cream in both of these drinks was delicious. read more

I had a chiropractor appointment in the area so I stopped to get a caffeine fix. I've never been, I just found them when I googled coffee shops in the area. I don't normally drink matcha but I tried their blueberry matcha iced. So good!! I would definitely come back. read more

this place is still one of my favorites. their biscoff latte is by far the best one i've ever tried from any caffe. it's thick, creamy, & flavorful. i hope they don't discontinue this one. their new biscoff con panna is nice for when ur looking for a bit more coffee vs biscoff flavor ratio! happy they added a new addition to the biscoff family but id love if you can make this available in hot like u do w the regular biscoff latte i don't mind if the cream melts, in fact, its yummier that way ‍ i'm so excited to see what other drinks they come up w as the seasons change!! i'm a loyal supporter read more

My coworkers and I came here every day of the week after we first discovered it. Every coffee latte we had was delicious! Lightly sweet with a nice punch of caffeine. Their coffee is definitely on the lighter side though, so if you're a medium-to-dark roast enjoyer, probably don't opt for their drip or americano. read more

Still in their soft opening. I tried three different drinks, and thoroughly enjoyed one. The biscoff cookie butter latte was as advertised and enjoyable. The banana cloud was sweet and had a nice foam, however the banana flavor had an artificial aftertaste. The third drink was the einspanner, which was decent. I didn't like that cash wasn't accepted, and they were having trouble with their credit card reader. There were a few people studying, so the seating area didn't look inviting for those of us just there for coffee. read more

We ordered an iced latte, a banana cloud drink, and an almond croissant and had a really good experience overall. The iced latte was solid and well-made. The banana cloud drink was the standout with a strong, prominent banana flavor--great if you love banana-forward drinks. The almond croissant was soft with a subtle almond flavor and something I'd definitely order again. Service was good and the ambience was pleasant, though seating is somewhat limited. Overall, a great spot that I'd happily return to. read more

I've been to their FV location and Cortado so when they opened closer to home I was super excited. I've been here multiple times since their opening and so far the matcha, americano (medium), and pistachio latte were all really good. The service can either be really good or a miss. There's plenty of parking and seats inside. read more

Everything about it was excellent! Knew what to expect in terms of coffee because I have been to their Fountain Valley location. I really like the vibe, and think they did an amazing job with the interior. Simple yet elegant and calm. Love their classic einspanner, oksusu corn latte of course, but I also tried their coconut macadamia latte this time and that was really good too! Unsure if their melon-flavored latte was a soft launch item that I happened to catch on that visit, but it was super delicious and would definitely order if they have it on their menu! Pour over was great as well!! Served very nicely along with a little biscoff cookie! wish they open another one closer to home! read more
