LITERALLY the first stop I made after landing at Santa Ana! As soon as my sister picked me up from the airport, she drove me straight to Microdose because it had been over a year since I'd had their goodness--and I was NOT wasting another minute! I went with my usual Bananarama, and my sister got some other delicious concoction that was absolutely fantastic. Everything was, as always, SO GOOD. What I love most about Microdose is the consistency. Every single time, they deliver. And I have to give credit where credit is due: Microdose was the first coffee spot where I ever had banana coffee, and they do it RIGHT. There's something about that banana coffee that just hits differently, and after being away in New York for over a year, I was seriously counting down until I could have it again. California trip officially started the right way. Microdose, you will always have a special place in my coffee-loving heart. 10/10! read more

Micro Dose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Came in for coffee, left with a scratched tire. The drive through is poorly designed with curbs that are way too easy to hit. If cars are regularly scraping their wheels coming through, that's a problem that needs to be fixed. What bothered me even more was seeing employees working outside in the rain while management and ownership seemed nowhere to be found. A coffee run shouldn't come with damage to your car. read more

I'm so glad I finally tried this place... it was my first time here and the baristas were so helpful and sweet! I ordered the Basic Bitch latte and a lox bagel added capers! It was soo good. The latte was the right amount of sweet and bagel the right amount of zesty. Everything was quick and fresh! We also ordered the thickly thicc - the americano was strong with a hint of sweetness. The location is right off the freeway so super convenient. It's cute and pink so can't miss it, but really small. We went through the drive through. There is also a walk-up counter to order from, however, not too many parking spots or seating area. Pretty much a grab and go spot. I will definitely be stopping by here when I'm in Costa Mesa. read more

Absolutely love coffee dose. On our way to Newport for a beach day and stopped at this location. For me the parking was a big difficult so I ended up parking at the gas station and walked right over. I ordered the Basic Bitch with banana sweet cream. It was delicious. My daughter ordered the quickie which is a frozen vanilla latte and she wasn't a fan. It tasted like butterscotch for some reason.. definitely will try something different next time. read more

Cutest little coffee stop! Drive thru was busier than the in person line, regardless coffee came out efficiently! Employees are really sweet and courteous here. They have a couple benches outside to sit and wait but that's about it. This is a small shack stand with no inside seating so it's not ideal for studying or catching up with friends. Definitely more of a grab n go. Parking is extremely minimal, probably around two regular slots and two handicap slots. I was craving matcha over coffee so I got the Bananarama matcha with oatmilk! Strong green color, although gets really milky midway. Drink was tasty but not sure I'd be coming back for it. I know this cute quaint little spot is a lot more popular for their coffees themselves so I'll be returning to explore the menu more! read more

The hype about this place is mostly about the aesthetic. I think people like the colors & funny stickers on the cups. The drinks are pricey & nothing remarkable or memorable. What made me decide that I never needed to come here again (beside's the owners questionable politics) was, the fact that on my last visit the employee helping me in the drive thru wasn't wearing a bra and her shirt was very cropped. She wasn't just serving drinks, she was also serving major under boob. I'm all about body positivity and not body shaming but I don't know if we need to have boobs out at a food establishment. It's a no for me. read more

If Barbie opened a coffee stand in Costa Mesa and hired a team of caffeine-fueled hype specialists, it would probably look a lot like Micro Dose. From the moment I pulled into the drive-thru, I couldn't stop smiling. The entire building is painted pink (what girly girl doesn't love pink?) from top to bottom, complete with playful signs, cheeky drink names, and enough personality to brighten even a gloomy morning. It's impossible not to enjoy the experience. I ordered the "Lox & Loaded" bagel which had plenty smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onion, and toasted sesame. I had only wished I asked for extra cream cheese as I love my bagel extra loaded. The bagel was flavorful, and satisfying. I mean even the packaging is adorable with a cute statement of "You deserve a little treat." I also had an iced flavored matcha. The "Banarama" (feels like a throw back song I know, oh the nostalgia!!) matcha was smooth, with a creamy banana top. It was refreshing and bursting with tasty banana cream pie memories. The moment you drive in you notice this place is not a regular run of the mill coffee shop. It's set apart from other coffee places by its clever branding, creative menu, and its whole concept. The pink building grabs your attention, but the signage and menu keep it. You can tell a lot of thought went into every detail. For those wanting to enjoy the outside experience there is a walk up window for ordering and a few parking places in the front. The service was friendly, efficient, and upbeat, making the experience even better. I was handed a menu upon driving up and they patiently waited on me to decide while making small talk and laughing with me. For the girlie girls this is a must! For the gentleman, if you want to surprise that special lady for coffee and a quick bite this is it!!! Micro Dose isn't just selling coffee, it's selling a mood. Honestly, I left with both caffeine and a better attitude than when I arrived. There's something to be said about that signage! read more

To be honest, when I saw Micro Dose pop up in my Yelp search, my first thought was that they had a bit of an unusual name for a coffee shop. However, after stopping in for a quick afternoon pick me up and reading that this place is part of the Coffee Dose family of shops in OC, not only do I totally get it now, but it also makes perfect sense! Not to mention the fact that a "dose" of the coffee here really did wonders to keep the rest of our day (and night) going! While their driveway may be easy to miss (it's the third one from the corner), and despite how they're essentially a small hut with a drive thru, Micro Dose certainly stands out. Their bright pink color scheme is obviously a big part of it, but their menu is also so unapologetically sassy. On the more basic end, they have your standard array of coffee and tea, as well as "boujee" options, like matcha lattes, vegan caramel lattes, and kombucha, and a terrific selection of toasts, croissants, danishes, and pastries. However, their specialty drinks (and their names) are what make the menu really unique - the Basic Bitch (vanilla latte), The Quickie (frozen vanilla latte that you can make "sticky"), the Thicky Thicc, a healthy root beer, and more. -- NOT YOUR MOTHER'S LATTE - Espresso (or Matcha) with Oat Milk, Housemade Coconut Syrup, and Pistachio Sweet Cream Opted to get this with the espresso for the caffeine kick, but I wonder what this tastes like with the matcha. In any case, I liked it. While it's definitely on the sweet side, I liked how flavorful the coconut syrup was and that the pistachio sweet cream wasn't overwhelming. -- THICKY THICC - Iced Americano with Fresh Housemade Sweet Cream Pivoted to this after we were told that The Quickie mixture was a bit watery at the moment and it wasn't too shabby. Not only did this have a nice hit of caffeine to it, but the sweet cream was really good and not quite as sweet as the pistachio sweet cream. In addition to how small Micro Dose is, their entire lot is pretty modest as well. The drive thru loop accommodates about a half dozen cars (they have a worker outside who takes orders, much like how Chick-fil-A and In-N-Out do it, so I could see the line extending out to the street during peak hours, but the workers seem to get drinks out fairly quickly. Otherwise, they do have a walk-up window that you can order from, as well as some seats/benches, but there are only a few parking spots, so that can be hit or miss unless you park elsewhere and walk over. Between how good the coffee is and how friendly and nice the workers were, Micro Dose is a great spot for a caffeine fix, whether it's to get your day going or to keep it going. If/when I'm back out this way again, I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their other drinks, as well as their some of their pastries, like their Guava Cheese Danish, Churro Donut, and Lemon Loaf! read more

Micro Dose did not disappoint! I ordered the blended vanilla latte, the Quickie, and it was absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a while. The line looked long when we arrived, but it moved incredibly fast. We were through in about five minutes, which was impressive. They also offer pup cups, and my dogs absolutely devoured them. Great coffee, quick service, and dog-friendly touches make this a spot I'll definitely be coming back to. read more

Microdose is pretty much the drive thru version of Coffee Dose, which is one of my all time favorite coffee shops. While the drive thru itself is pretty narrow and can sometimes back up into the street, the drinks make it completely worth it. Everything I have tried has been consistently good and hits the spot every time. The food menu is definitely smaller than their flagship locations, but that is expected for a drive thru focused setup. I usually come here for the convenience and a quick caffeine fix, especially when I am cruising through with my dog Bennie. It is such an easy stop when I want great coffee without having to park or get out of the car. If you already love Coffee Dose and are looking for a quick in and out option with the same quality drinks, Microdose is a solid choice. read more

This mainly drive thru coffee shop is a staple in Costa Mesa but man it's not fun if you go at the wrong time and end up in the car line often backed up onto Newport Blvd. The other morning I was able to swing by very early in the morning on a Sunday so glad I got to treat myself. Picked up a cold brew with simple syrup and almond milk. It felt like it took a bit longer than usual sitting there in line waiting for my drink, but once I got it all was good. The drive through decor is also super cute and clever. read more

Super cute little spot, the line wasn't too long which was great. The order came out super fast but the coffee did seem to lack a bit of flavor. The drinks were good but not enough to want to come on the daily or even often still a nice place to try! Loved that their ingredients were cleaner than most places overall a good spot for aesthetics and some sweets! read more

I always drive by this place, and there's usually a line wrapped down the street. Today, I happened to drive by again and, for once, there was exactly one car in line just enough room to pull into the driveway without blocking traffic. The coffee Gods were on my side today! I ordered the Matcha Bananarama and the Lox & Loaded, and OMG.... everything was so good! The Matcha Bananarama was sweet but not overly sweet, and it actually tasted like banana (imagine that!). I've had plenty of banana drinks where the banana flavor is barely there, but this one delivered. If you're going to make a banana drink, commit to the banana and they absolutely did. So delicious! And the Lox & Loaded... *sigh* I told my boyfriend I'd give him the other half, and honestly, I instantly regretted it because I wanted to eat the whole thing myself after the first bite BUT sharing is caring so I begrudgingly gave him the other half. The toasted everything bagel was loaded with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and a generous amount of red onion. Every bite had the perfect balance of ingredients. Would I come back? 100%!!! And if the line is down the street next time, I'll know it's worth the wait! Sorry no pics of the drink or lox. I couldn't help myself -_- read more

Micro Dose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

first time trying this coffee shop as i was getting my oil changed near by and thought it looked so cute from the outside. service was super nice and my drink came out so fast! i will preface by saying this is just my review from the drink i tried and while service and vibes were wonderful, flavor wise it was just okay. it's kind of funny that the name of the drink i got is "thicky thicc" when it's an americano (which is an espresso with added water) but i'm assuming the name refers to the cream top but the cream top didn't do much for the coffee/drink itself either (just very one note and did not add that "thicc" creaminess to the drink). i'd be willing to come back to try their other drinks and hopefully find one i would enjoy more. read more

I always drive by this little pink building tucked between a gas station and an auto repair shop, and there's almost always a line of cars out to the street. After seeing that for about a month on my way to and from work, I finally had to see what all the hype was about. The menu is on the smaller side, but it's got a nice variety of specialty coffee drinks, lattes, matcha, fruit drinks, teas, and a handful of food items like fresh bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. One thing I thought was really cool was the service. While you're waiting in the drive-thru line, the friendly staff comes out to take your order before you even get to the window, which helps keep the line moving and adds a nice personal touch. I ordered the Bananarama and the Lox & Loaded bagel. The Bananarama is a brown sugar latte with banana sweet cream, and it had a nice smooth coffee flavor with just the slight amount of banana. It was refreshing and tasty but it didn't quite blow me away like I was hoping it would. The Lox & Loaded came on a toasted everything bagel with housemade garden veggie cream cheese, smoked salmon, and sliced red onion. The bagel was fresh, and loaded with plenty of cream cheese and salmon. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavors worked great together, especially with the onion giving it a nice little bite. Overall, I enjoyed both items, but I've definitely had better lox bagels that really impressed me. Same goes for the coffee. It was tasty, but it didn't knock it out of the park for me. That said, I'm glad I finally stopped in, and if you're driving by and see the line, it's worth checking out at least once! read more

A mini drive thru but also walk-up coffee place. They have a small menu but they do it right. In my opinion, similar concept to in-n-out. I got the Mary matcha and it was EXCELLENT. I strongly feel as though the color of your matcha says it all - the matcha here looks and tastes the part. I love lavender in my matcha and as a result, micro does has gained me as a returning costumer. The line to order through the drive thru is no joke but the wait and traffic is worth it :) read more

I miss the Stanton location because that was the closest one to me, but I love their coffee so much, I'm willing to drive further just to have it!! I've never been to this location and it was just a happy coincidence I saw it on the way to breakfast... talk about meant to be. Lol. I specifically didn't order a drink because I knew I was going to stop here. I had to!!! I wanted a drink that was for sure going to be delicious and it certainly delivered!!!! The coffee is still consistently yummy and I will always make an excuse to get Coffee Dose!!! : ) read more

A fun spot with a unique vibe! I am a sucker for drinks with turmeric so that led me in. The drink with turmeric is called the Goldie and it is really good! I also love Mary matcha when I'm feeling like a tea. The light notes of lavender are quite delicious. The customer service is always great! It can get pretty busy but the line moves fast. If you are headed to work, you might want to request a PG cup as some are not the best for all work environments. read more

We probably go every day sometimes twice everyone is so great. My wife loves the avocado bagel and her coffee latte.

YUM YUM YUM!!! I got an iced vanilla late with almond milk and it was $7. It's sweet but not too sweet and has a perfectly creamy and smooth texture. There is a quick drive thru or you can walk up to the window. The girl at the window was so sweet and made my drink in probably 3 minutes. The shop is a cute pink and the cups have little art and fun designs on them. I love this place and will definitely be back!! read more

What an absolutely precious little coffee shop. It is so tiny. If it could say words it would say "I'm baby". Everything is pink, even the cones they put out when they are closed. Tall cacti grow around the tiny baby building. I tried to go there once after work but they were already closed for the day which was how I learned about the pink cones. But then I got lucky later that week and was able to go BEFORE work when they were still open. The girl taking orders in the drive thru was so sweet and when I said I wanted a matcha with oatmilk she said they had a banana matcha?? and a blueberry??? I went with the blueberry matcha with oatmilk and it was so good bro. Trust me bro. I will be back soon to try the other one I bet the banana matcha goes awffff. read more

Located right across from triangle square in Costa Mesa off of the 55 freeway. You really can't miss it as they have a huge light up Microdose sign and the building is bright pink. Only ding is the parking lot is not the largest with only two parking spaces and leaves the rest for drive through which maybe 9 cars at most can fit through so peak hours it can be ROUGH to get in! Otherwise this Microdose mostly caters as a drive through hence the micro name but apart of the coffee dose fam. The drinks are pretty solid but can be pretty sweet. My second time here was much better as I really enjoyed the basic bitch latte($6.50). The bagels are also delicious here and recommend the OG OC ($8.50) as the avocado mash, Lemmon pepper and cream cheese were delicious! Overall, a cute spot when you need a quick caffeine pick me up in Costa Mesa! read more

Prices are sky high for average coffee and they only take credit card which then definitely pressures you to pay a tip. Today I was there at 8:15am. The lady in the car in front of me knew all the employees and was laughing and chatting it up while ordering and also at window while getting the drink. They all knew each other. They talked at least for a good 5-10 minutes at the window while the line backed up to the street. The employee at window was a heavy set black haired lady with long nails. She was laughing and talking, wasting everybody's time in line. The employees friend in the car line should have parked if she wanted to chat with everyone there. I got my drink and was out of the car line in less than a minute. read more
