Before I leave a review for a coffee shop, I like to try at least five different lattes, and every single one I've had from Mad Coffee has been delicious. The Teddy Graham Latte, Churro Latte, Blueberry Pancake Latte, Cairo Latte (my absolute favorite), and Carrot Cake Latte were all amazing. Honestly, I think I finished each one within 10 minutes. The inside is super cute, and they also have great pastries. They're connected to Rafael's Kitchen and tucked away between corporate buildings, making them feel like a hidden gem. Every time I've gone in, everyone has been so friendly, and they make the drinks incredibly fast, even when they're busy. There are so many coffee shops in Costa Mesa, but Mad Coffee definitely stands out. read more

Needed a pick me up on a Friday afternoon so we decided to stop by for a quick coffee run. Not sure if theres a parking lot because its in a business area but we were lucky to find street parking right in front. But it was only a 20 mim parking spot. Definitely not ideal if you want to dine in. The coffee shop is attached to the restaurant. We got the Roasty toasty latte and the banana bread latte from their specialty menu. Their main menu seems very minimal and their specialty menus are always changing depending on the season. The roasty toasty latte had the perfect amount of cinnamon taste to it and the roasted coffee paired well with it. The banana bread latte was light with hints of banana. I prefer the roasty latte more though. Definitely will be back to try some of their other specialty drinks. read more

A little confusing to find but you have to walk straight through a building to get to it from the parking lot. I probably went at an off hour because it was pretty empty. When I walked in nobody acknowledged me lol and an older lady had to get the attention of two girls who were chatting to come take my order. Coffee was good a little on the sweeter side really cute cups. I'd def come back to try other drinks or their specialty drinks! read more

I went in for coffee and ended up getting breakfast too and I may have just found the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered the banana bread latte with almond milk and the Santa Ana breakfast burrito. The coffee was made to perfection, and the banana bread latte actually tasted like banana bread, which was seriously impressive. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Lots of seating btw! Safe to say... I think I just found my new coffee shop read more

I got an iced matcha latte with coconut milk and honey syrup and wow was it good!! If you like a strong matcha this place is for you. The color tells you everything you need to know. Not too milky, not too sweet. All of their syrups are made in house, or you can get it unsweetened if that's what you prefer. They have a good amount of seating too so it makes a perfect place to get work done. The staff is also super sweet as well!

One thing about Mad is that they do not play about drinks The matcha here is seriously high-quality and never disappoints! Each drink is made to order and whisked to perfection. My favorite is the banana bread matcha with almond milk. The customer service here is also perfect to my preferences because I prioritize quick and efficient service with quality drink construction. I love how there's plenty of seating and the interior has such a calming aesthetic. I return to Mad Coffee pretty frequently because I know my money is paying for quality ingredients and drinks. I highly recommend Mad Coffee to all my friends because I know the experience is gonna hit every single time! read more

Lots of unique flavored lattes at this coffee shop. It's also connected to a restaurant with food that smelled really good. They validate parking for a couple lots/structures that are nearby. I believe there was also street parking right out front Banana bread latte: 5/5 good amount of banana flavor that wasn't artificial tasting. Definitely a sweet drink though and the coffee flavor wasn't super strong read more

It was ok.. Apple Maps takes you to the parking lot which is technically a courtyard Marriott parking lot. It's located inside of an office building, which means it's not super straightforward to get to on a weekend. There are 3 lines when you get to the entrance, one for Rafael's, one for the self service kiosk, and one for the cafe register. I ordered through the self service kiosk I waited at least 25 minutes for my matcha and an americano on a Sunday at 10:30 although there were 4 workers behind the bar making drinks. I received a text that my order was ready ~10 mins after ordering but nothing was ready. The matcha was fine but I won't be coming back here, this whole experience was very chaotic and confusing read more

A coffee shop with free parking and endless seating? I'm not Mad about it. I met some coworkers for an afternoon work sesh at this adorable coffee shop in Santa Ana. Originally I was worried about parking since it's located inside of a biz complex, but Mad Coffee has got you covered. They offer free daily validation, allowing you to visit, sip your coffee, and go to town on whichever work task you've been avoiding. I was able to sample a number of their items, including their banana latte, birthday cake latte, and a hot honey pizza with chicken. Each item was superb. I'd easily return for another banana latte. read more

The place is very pretty and clean. There is easy sidewalk parking at the front of the cafe. It can easily park about 6 cars. There is also a parking garage available. What's cool is it's located next to a sit in restaurant as well. I believe it's part of it! Drinks take a while but for one staff member working at the time; it was pretty reasonable. I got the birthday latte which was a yummy treat. Go and check it out! read more

Mad coffee is located inside an office building. There is street parking out front. GPS will try and take you to the back parking lot. If you park there, you will have to walk around. The kindest friendliest staff works here. I ordered a boring Iced Americano and it was good, but not my favorite thing about this place. The cookies are bomb. Like call everyone you know, write it the sky delicious. I got my Peanut Butter Reese's cookie and practically inhaled it! I asked if they made them in house and one staff member said they make them in house at a sister restaurant in Huntington Beach and send them over fresh! I love the whole vibe of this place too. Disco ball and white string lights on the ceiling, light and bright atmosphere, and did I mention the friendly staff? All in all, can't wait to go back and take a friend. And this time try one of their seasonal coffee drinks and of course a cookie - or two! read more

I love their seasonal menu because it really sets the mood for the season! I tried their salted maple cinnamon roll latte this time and it was delicious. They have a few 24 minute parking spots in front of their shop and across the street but on the weekends those fill up. I parked in a lot across the street which said $1.25 for the first 15 min, I left within 15 min and it didn't charge me so I'm not quite sure how that works. They also have a sign that they validate parking but I don't know if I parked in the right lot for that. Only downside of the location is this parking situation. read more

Mad Coffee in Irvine is definitely worth checking out. The breakfast burrito and the vanilla iced latte were both a solid 10/10--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start your day. The only thing that missed the mark was the freshly squeezed orange juice. It didn't taste the best, but it might've just been a bad batch of oranges. My main issue was with the customer service. When I mentioned the juice, the server told me the kitchen had tried it that morning and no one had complained. That response didn't really address the concern. They did switch it out for cranberry juice, so I appreciated that. Overall, great food and drinks, just wish the service handled feedback a bit better. read more

I seriously love this coffee shop. I will go out of my way and drive 30 minutes to come. The coffee and matcha is always perfect and I love the seasonal offerings. My favorite is definitely the banana bread latte. They use homemade syrups so no artificial taste and you can adjust the sweetness and milk if need be. Dylan and Grace are usually working when I come, they are so welcoming and fun to talk to! There are outlets, good size tables, and free WiFi so perfect spot to study. The coffee shop is also connected to Rafael's Kitchen if you're hungry! read more

I got a carrot cake latte & an almond latte! Both coffees were delicious, definitely both coffees on the sweeter side. I wish the coffee flavor was more apparent, but they were both yum! The baristas were very kind in explaining their fall menu as well--there's a lot of space in the cafe, but it seems like you would stay and eat, not study. Would swing back for the carrot cake latte ‍ read more

I come to Mad Coffee several times a week and it never disappoints. The drinks are consistently so good, and the girls here are seriously the sweetest. You can tell they genuinely take pride in their craft and care about every detail. Personal favorites are the banana bread latte, tiramisu latte, and strawberry matcha! Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute spot with good drinks and great people read more

This coffee shop was right behind our hotel and with good reviews we decided to give it a shot. The matcha was delicious! The cashier stated it was a banana bread matcha, but I definitely would say it's more of just a banana flavor! Still loved it. We came in on a Sunday morning where it was a bit busy but we received our drinks in less than 15 minutes. read more

Walking in, the barista was super friendly! She explained to us where to park in the future and provided some honest recommendations on some items. Location is a little tricky because the GPS will lead you to the opposite side of the building. If you pull up and don't see it, drive to the other side. There's a sign with coffee shop the name. Tried the pumpkin spice latte and it wasn't my favorite. The cold foam was really thick; it was a little too sweet and had almost a sour taste. The drink was more coffee forward which I prefer, and that was tasty! Also ordered salted maple cinnamon roll latte. 5/5 for those who like sweeter coffee. Had a delicious cinnamon oat taste. Overall, I would try it again! read more

shoutout to my google maps for populating this place when searching up "coffee in my area" while i was out doing errands. i didn't know what to expect, but wow was i blown away. the coffee? exquisite. though they have just a handful or two of flavors, they know how to make them well. i had ordered a tiramisu latte, and it was delicious! not too sweet but not necessarily bitter either; goldilocks would've been satisfied. i know i was. the shop had plenty of space to sit and the most bizarre part? it seems like it's half a coffee shop and half of an italian place. ever wanted pasta with your coffee? you came to the right place. i loved the modern and simplistic decor that they had, and each staff member was kind and helpful, asking me questions when they noticed me hovering by the menu to see if they could help with anything. parking is a bit confusing. i had circled around a few times before lucking out right in front of the shop. it was only once i entered that i found out there was a garage i could park at and get free validation for. highly recommend!!! read more

As of Sept 19, 2025 - the new Fall menu is out!! Was so excited to see the new creations. The guy at the register was extremely helpful with answering all our questions and giving his suggestions. Carrot cake latte (half sweet) was delicious, 10/10!! Wow - I can see why it was on the Spring menu AND continuing into the Fall menu. Unfortunately the almond croissant latte was a total miss. It's more of a basic "almond latte" than anything special, very underwhelming to be honest. Not sure where the croissant in the name comes into play. Would come back again and go for the classics that everyone raves about! read more

Coffee was good and M&M Cookies are fire great customer serve and great vibes. Will definitely be back!

Mad Coffee is an unconventional spot! Located in a corporate area off the 55, its entrance is off of Sandpointe. However, free, validated parking is a structure behind it. The surprising part is that it's 1/3 pizza restaurant, 1/3 coffee shop, and 1/3 brunch spot. When you walk in, folks are helpful in pointing you where to go for what. It was just a bit surprising, if you're just going off the Yelp/Maps, to be asked if you wanted to have a sit down meal. The place was well decorated, but lacked air circulation/was quite warm. The person at the register was very nice and helpful. There are some pastry options in the case. I went with a Guava Cheese Danish which was pretty tasty. I was mostly dissatisfied with my matcha. I only noticed after taking a sip after I had left, but it wasn't fully whisked/blended so there were still chunks of matcha powder. Overall, since it also wasn't sweetened (I knew it wouldn't be), it tasted pretty homemade. read more

But I have been back because the matcha is just too good! read more

Was super excited to try the Baklava latte, but I think I was looking at an old menu! Tried out their seasonal flavor: Brown Butter Sage, and it was super indulgent but delicious. I think I may be used to Oatly barista blend oat milk, which has a much thicker, creamier mouthfeel, and I believe they use Minor Figures Barista Blend, which is thinner. Personal preference, but I would have enjoyed another brand of oat milk. However, the brown butter sage syrup was super yummy! Did not get too much sage flavor coming through, but the more of the latte I drank, the more of the rich, nutty brown butter flavor came through. I would definitely come back and enjoy a meal at the adjacent pizzeria while enjoying another specialty latte! The space is fairly large with lots of seating, and I could imagine coming to do some work. read more

Got the Madagascar vanilla latte and it was just okay. It seemed to be lacking in terms of the smoothness and flavor of espresso and it was definitely on the sweeter side. It was also quite pricey for about $7 and the quality of the drink didn't justify the price. The interior is pretty spacious with shared seats for Rafael's restaurant and the cafe. They have a seasonal menu with unique flavors of drinks but most of it sounds to be quite sweet so would recommend requesting less sweetness if you don't like your drinks overly sweet. Servers were really nice and friendly though. read more

Mad coffee shares a space with Rafael's Kitchen, which I will have to come back and try. Mad's menu has traditional offerings and some creative drinks. I decided on the Cairo which is cinnamon, cardamom, and honey latte. Even at half sweet, it was really sweet. The spices complement the coffee well. I think I will try it with no honey next time. There is a small pull up parking area in the front for about 4 cars and there is a 24 minute parking limit. There is also a validated parking structure parking. Causal. Indoor seating. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

I probably never would've found this place if it weren't for social media. It's tucked away in a pretty odd location that doesn't seem to get much foot traffic. Parking was a bit confusing at first as they don't have a designated lot, but they do offer free validation if you park in the lot across the street or in the garage behind the building. The inside of the cafe is nice and quite spacious; plenty of seating available, and they have some tables outside as well. I came here wanting to try their Biscoff latte, but apparently it's a seasonal fall drink, so I ordered the gingerbread latte instead, and my friend got the banana bread latte. It did take a while for us to get our drinks - seems like they get quite a lot of takeout orders here. Both drinks were solid though. Not too much ice, and the flavors were very pronounced - especially the banana. Probably one of the few banana lattes I've had where you can actually taste the banana. The gingerbread latte was maybe a tad too "spicy" for my liking (very clove-dominant, I'd say), but I like how they put a whole gingerbread cookie in the drink lol. One small thing that I was kinda disappointed with was that our cups didn't have any branding on them. Not a big deal, I just think the stickers give the drinks a nice touch. read more

I go to this coffee shop at a minimum of once a week. I always order the iced vanilla latte. Unfortunately today, my drinks were not made correctly. I ordered an iced vanilla latte, and there was not even a slight hint of vanilla. I then went back to ask if they could add the syrup, assuming they accidentally forgot to add it in, and was told they were out of vanilla syrup for the day. I also ordered an iced spanish latte for my friend, and her latte was filled with coffee grounds. I do always love coming to support this shop, but was disappointed in the quality of the drinks today. I was trying to find a way to reach out and possibly get new drinks made, but there is no contact email for this shop. read more
