This location is advertised as a 24/7 study space open to the public on yelp, but you actually need…read morea membership to be there. The confusing part is that both doors were unlocked and the area we sat in had no signage indicating it was private or restricted. There was a separate section clearly labeled "member only," which we purposefully did not enter. We were asked to leave, which is completely understandable if it's a members-only space. However, the staff member who approached us was unnecessarily rude and seemed upset that we were there, even though the setup made it seem open to the public. Clear signage or locked access would prevent this kind of confusion. A more polite approach would have also made a big difference. The staff member was lacking courtesy about it. This feels like an issue with unclear setup and communication, not customers.

While visiting the OC area, a local friend brought my wife and me to Salty Horse. Coming from the…read moreMidwest, I really enjoyed the coastal, beach-house-inspired design--the space is bright, relaxed, and filled with lush greenery and succulents that give it a great vibe. As my benchmark drink, I ordered my usual flat white. Overall, it was decent, though the espresso pulled a bit more bitter than I typically prefer. I also ordered a house made lemonade just as a palette cleanser. My wife tried a drink I forgot about, and my friend got her usual matcha, both of which they enjoyed. I also picked up a bag of coffee from one of their local supplier roasters to try at home, nothing special. The only real downside is the parking situation. Spaces on-site are limited and street parking nearby can be fairly scarce, so prepare to hunt for a spot during peak hours. Still a neat local shop worth checking out for the atmosphere!

We got the JH breakfast burrito and campfire French toast and they were great. We also got For The Wanderer, which the description says comes with "a drizzle of olive oil", it was way more than a drizzle. That was our only complaint. The thick cut bacon was delicious. Will definitely be back to try different dishes. Love the atmosphere and decor, very coastal cowboy.

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!

I…read moreusually keep it simple and ordered a Spanish latte, while my husband, who prefers sweeter drinks, enjoyed exploring some of their other menu options. I was pleasantly surprised to see a unique selection of drinks on the menu, which added some variety beyond the usual coffee offerings. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was incredibly fast, making it an easy stop when you'reon the go. Overall, the coffee was great, the service was excellent, and I'd definitely recommend Long Black Coffee if you're in the area and looking for quality coffee and a great experience.

I loved the large painting on the wall depicting the rugged old west with a cow boy having a cup of coffee by the fire in the mountains. They have Different types of seating arrangements. The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations. I highly recommend Moon Goat Coffee Roasters.

There is plenty of parking and lots of space inside. The interior is bright and spacious with lots of tables for socializing and working. I ordered an iced latte which I thought was pretty tasty and a pancake muffin that was okay. The pancake muffin felt doughy and underbaked to me, however, I think it's suppose to feel that way texturally. It was okay taste-wise.

Back with an update because I finally got my hands on the breakfast burrito…read more My cousin and I still make the drive from South OC for what is easily our favorite matcha in OC but this visit was all about the burrito. They were sold out the last time we came, so my expectations were honestly pretty high. I fear the hype is justified. It was a little oily but the flavor was insane. The protein to tortilla ratio was perfect every bite felt balanced and the sauce absolutely carried it over the finish line. If you've had the breakfast burrito from Sobuneh in LA, this is probably the closest thing I've found in OC. Ambiance is so cute and minimal. Service is great. Also parking is so easy. They validate in the structure across the street and there are designated Stereoscope spots tucked away in the back of the lot to the right. Stereoscope REALLY did their big one.
