    Tried their strawberry matcha latte half-sweet with whole milk, and it was very solid! The gentle strawberry puree doesn't overpower the matcha, which you can tell is high quality. It wasn't overly sweet either--perfect for my taste! This location is connected to Rafael's Kitchen, so you can order food from there while enjoying their drinks as well. Plenty of seating inside, although it does feel more geared toward restaurant customers. There's also 24-hour validated parking nearby (just make sure you park in the correct lot)! Definitely a convenient spot if you're looking for good matcha with easy parking.

    This place was super busy when we stopped by on Monday around noon. There was one big line and everyone seemed to be confused not knowing if the line was for coffee only or dine in. Luckily, one of the workers came over and directed everyone on where to go cause we probably looked confused. The cashier was friendly and gave us time to look over the menu. I ordered an iced banana matcha and my sister ordered a latte. We waited about 15 minutes for our 2 drinks and they were placed on the counter when ready. The inside was loud, hot, humid, and too hectic for my liking. Most tables were taken with people on their computers and some tables had not been cleaned up - they still had dirty dishes on them. My matcha was very thick and not enough ice was given so it got warm fast - the flavor was ok though. We parked in the paid parking lot in the back.

    Amazing coffee shop!! I got the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, iced, half sweet. Quality coffee and flavor! Can't wait to try other drinks because they have wonderful specialty ones

    Came in and ordered the Cairo Latte. OMG wow. So yummy. Perfect balance of strong coffee flavor and sweetness. Great size for its price. Friendly service and cute location. Comfortable and clean. Would recommend!

    Definitely wasn't too impressed with this place and it was super overwheming when I stopped by on a Sunday. It's both a restaurant and coffee shop so no one knew what line to get in. I ordered a small latte and it was just ok. I must've waited like 20 minutes for it to be ready tho which is crazy. What drew me in were the cute cups they have posted on their social media and I was upset to see they were just using clear cups. Saw a few tables clear up but I couldnt even sit to wait because the tables sat there with dirty dishes and no one cleaned then up.

    ABSOLUTELY CRACK. I ordered the roasty toasty and added tiramisu cold foam and my god!!! I have never had another cold foam that was so perfect and heaven sent! Smooth, creamy, rich! Staff is friendly and well versed in their menu. It's a very welcoming place and connected to a pizza shop. Plenty of seating. Great air conditioning for this summer heat! All around an amazing place!

    This place had been on my list for awhile and finally was able to check it out on Saturday morning. I was stuck between the tiramisu and banana latte but I went with the tiramisu coffee. The coffee was good, it had a great flavor but it definitely didn't taste like tiramisu at all. But again it was good. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because I asked for light ice and the cashier asked if I wanted more milk to compensate. I said forget it, regular ice is fine. I didn't want to mess up the flavor of the coffee. Other than that, I would come back to try their other menu items.

    Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops from this month!!! Walked in on a Saturday afternoon & several people were studying/hanging out. We were politely greeted by the host, this shop is combined with a pizza shop that also smells sooo delicious! The coffee was exactly as it was described! We got the tiramisu latte & the carrot cake latte with oat milk. The carrot cake latte was perfection!!! The notes of carrot combined with the vanilla cream cheese cold foam was perfect. The tiramisu was sooo good as well, where my partner literally chugged it all!!! Definitely want to come back and try their pastries, as they were delicious! If you find yourself in this area definitely stop by!!

    I was drawn to this place from Instagram. I love their vibe and different coffee flavors. I finally tried it and it was as good as expected. It's connected to a pizza shop and has casual and table seating. Service was also great.

    Really happy to have discovered this place! PERFECT for brunch as they have massive amount of food AND coffee options in one place with lots of seating options! The service was wonderful and they also have self service option! Can't wait to come back and bring my girls over! PS there's 24 minute parking out front and they also validate! FYI- if you use Google Maps- route to Rafael's Kitchen & Mad Coffee!

    Banana bread latte that actually taste like banana bread

    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

    The coffee is great, the locations however is not. The comments about parking is true. The structures are confusing and the little lot behind is a nightmare. This business has the potential of growing and moving out so hopefully they do. However, the coffee and matcha taste amazing! Buttttt, I paid for a large and my cup looks like a small/regular. I'm not sure if that's the actual large cup size but it's small! I posted a picture for reference, but I'm 5 feet tall and have small hands, and the cup is smaller than my hand.

    With plenty of places to choose from we stopped here at mad coffee. I ended up ordering a banana latte and it was the best I've ever had. Fresh and no artificial flavors would definitely come back! Outside of the coffee the inside is so beautiful laid out, love it here!

Drinks (4/5): - There was a standard selection of drinks and I decided to get the double matcha. It was not bad by any means. However, I did feel that it was a bit sweeter than how I typically like it with what tasted like hints vanilla (possibly the cream?). - I later checked some reviews and saw that sweetness is something other's have noted. Interior (4/5): - There is a lot of space which is great! There are many small coffee tables to sit and chat, a plethora of larger 1/2 seater tables to do work at, and a large cross shaped table in the center which can definitely seat a lot of people. - This space would have honestly been at the top of my list in terms of interior if not for one thing: the temperature. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't sweating buckets or anything but it was a ~90 degree day outside and I feel like I expected it to be a little cooler inside than what it was. Service (4/5): - Standard service overall, staff was respectful and nice. The only thing I have in mind to note was a mild lack of urgency by the baristas to attend to customers. - I ended up sitting closer to the register and over time I noticed that most customers would wait a bit of time before being helped. - It doesn't seem like they have the largest team (2-3 people) so I understand if it's busier, but by my observation it was never busy enough to have people be waiting to give their order. At the end of the day solid cafe overall though. Would still come again to try different drinks with the staff's opinion on sweetness, but maybe not to do a lot of work on a hot day .

They've got plenty of "fun" drinks, which is what they're known for, to me. I often come by for a banana-based drink, whether it be matcha or coffee. I enjoy how they don't take themselves so seriously for a 3rd wave specialty spot. It's easier to get in and get out without having to feel like you're making a decision that you'll be getting judged for, you know? Anyways, the coffee I had was excellent, and it helped me power through my work day. Is there anything else you need?

It was busy when we arrived but the line moved quick. I ordered a small iced apple cinnamon roll latte as it is one of their seasonal drinks. Waited a few minutes and my name was called out.

But the Mint Mojito Coffee is in a completely different league. It's unlike anything I've ever had. If there were a Philz Coffee closer to my house, I would honestly buy it every single day. It's easily one of my all-time favorite coffees. The Philz Coffee across from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa can get pretty busy, so parking isn't always easy during peak hours. Luckily, you can order ahead on the mobile app and simply pick it up. My favorite part is taking that very first sip while it's freshly handcrafted before putting the lid back on. That first taste always makes me happy. The friend I brought with me ignored my recommendation and ordered a cold brew instead. After a few minutes, I convinced them to try just one sip of my Mint Mojito Coffee... and that was the last sip I got. They loved it so much that they practically claimed the rest of my drink. The staff are friendly, and while there isn't a lot of indoor seating if you're planning to work on your laptop, there is a nice patio where you can sit and relax. It's a great spot to catch up with friends over an amazing cup of coffee. If you're visiting Philz for the first time, do yourself a favor and order the Mint Mojito Coffee. You can thank me later.
