I stopped by this location to grab an iced coffee after eating at slurpin ramen next door. I was greeted by a nice gentleman who took my order. I ordered an iced americano with a splash of cream and he delivered. The coffee was ok. Overall I wouldn't return unless it was the only option. The vibe is low, not warm and welcoming. The location is tiny, but offers both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a tiny pastry shelf with muffins and loaf slices if you're hungry.
I came here after a workout because I was craving an acai bowl and a lot of places don't open until 9:00AM. I got the aćai bowl which they only have 1 option for it but you can add a couple things to it if in additional like peanut butter for an extra charge. They don't blend the açai fresh - I believe the cups are pre-done in a freezer in the back and then they add the fruits + granola. It didn't have as much flavor as other bowls I've had, felt like it could use some simple adds like coconut shavings and agave or honey. It was good for what it was but definitely could be improved!
The vanilla chai latte was DELICIOUS. Seating is a little limited, but on a Saturday morning, the place was not that crowded, and there's a small outdoor patio area nice for getting work done. Staff is speedy. Haven't tried any of their food items yet but would love to come back to try some as well as their other drinks.
You had me at Spanish Latte with Oat Milk. Which I think I gulped down in less than a minute because I couldn't set it down it was that delicious (plus I was way overdue for caffeine). I love the little outdoor patio and enjoyed the vibe while my coffee was being made. Around 11ish during the day not so busy and places to sit. Heads up, it's at the Camp so parking can be tricky. But friends it is totally worth it. Counting down until my next visit.
Stopped in more an early afternoon snack/boost of energy and I was feeling something sweet and got the chocolate monkey smoothie with coffee. I felt like it was a very large portion for the price, especially in that general area where that is the typical price for a regular latte. Tasted like exactly what I wanted, this is a great place to stop if you are in the mood for a good smoothie!
Cute little coffee shop! We got the vanilla latte and we liked it. They have yummy looking pastries too!
Trendy, unique little coffee and tea shop! The drinks were delicious and super interesting. First time ever seeing banana coffee on a menu let alone trying it! My husband ordered the banana coffee hot and I got an iced campfire latte. Their chai tea was also recommended to us. The avocado toast we ordered was just ok, and it took a long time. Their drinks were definitely their superior menu item. Our drinks came out pretty quickly, but it seemed like a fair number of people were waiting 5-10+ minutes for theirs. Their bathroom was also a downside. It did not have the same cute, updated aesthetic as the rest of the cafe. I had to rummage through their storage cabinet to find TP, and they were also out of paper towels (couldn't find those). Overall, I would have their drinks again but only if I wasn't in a hurry! I'd probably skip the food next time.
That oat milk lavender tea is the goat!!!! Gosh the Lavender Oatmilk tea is so refreshing! It is way better than it has any right to be! Like how is this drink so good?!?! It's delicious. 10/10 I have ordered two different smoothies from Milk & Honey now. The smoothies are really good. The mango was probably my favorite! I ordered the Wild Berry the other day and that was good too. I did not like the raspberry seeds in the drink though. That is my only complaint about that smoothie. Otherwise very tasty and healthy.
Drink: the Iced Hanoi Coffee is a Vietnamese Style Coffee with Hazel Cream Top and it was a great blend of a traditional Vietnamese coffee with a a nice hazelnut flavored cream to soften the strong coffee flavor Service: everything is made to order Design: interiors is modern with a organic landscape vibe due to the growing vines that have coverd the facade and the outdoor dining patio Overall: if you want really good unique espresso-type drinks in the Costa Mesa area at the Camp, then check out this spot
The banana coffee was excellent! They make a homemade banana purée that tastes so fresh and perfectly sweet. Since this shop is located in the camp, parking can definitely be a disaster.
The place is super cute! I love the decor! I love the outdoor patio covered with purple flowers that makes you feel like you're inside a botanical garden. And the Spanish latte with oat milk was amazing! For all the coffee lovers. My husband did get the campfire latte which has tofu on top and looks very sweet. For the sweet, sweet coffee lovers. The customer service was exceptional!
The Hanoi coffee tastes a lot like Lee's Vietnamese coffee to me. The interior is cute, but there isn't much seating. The drink is a bit on the sweet side, but it was still decent. The service was pretty quick since it was kind of empty. The price is just a bit much for me at $6.20.
Calling all lovers of lavender & honey. This place has mastered the perfect balance of the honey lavender flavor. It's just so rich and sweet. The outside patio is engulfed in twigs/greenery. It feels so peaceful in such a busy plaza. Obviously you need to fight to get a parking spot since it's located at the Camp, but worth the hassle.

If you are looking for a cozy cafe in Orange County you must give this place a try . When I say it's cozy it's perfectly cozy I love that they have like a backyard kind of feel where you can sit and enjoy the fresh air outside with your tea and or coffee . I'm sure you can sit there and enjoy a good book or finish up some needed work. I got their matcha latte and boy let me tell you it's sooo good you can taste all of the matcha mixed in there. Very enjoyable . They have bunch of other stuff like coffee and smoothies as well as açaí bowls . I'll totally will be coming back to try what else they have on their menu. The young lady that helped us was really kind and quick too with making our drinks. My husband got an espresso coffee drink I'm not too big on coffee but my husband loves it . Perfect place to grab a quick pick me up ! Thank you Milk & Honey for an amazing experience and awesome tea/coffee drinks . You will see more of me soon read more
Visited here two separate times for a refreshing tea on a hot day and this place hit the spot! Very small interior, honestly it's kind of stuffy in there so I'm not sure how people chill and work in there. But simple menu and decent prices. I got the Peach Green Tea it was so good, exactly what I wanted at the moment! I feel like there was a good balance of the fruit flavor as well as the tea flavor! Super refreshing! 5/5 Overall, if I'm in the area again, I'd definitely stop by here for a refreshing iced tea because they know how to do it here! I went to the location in Mission Viejo and it wasn't it. It could be because I got a strawberry matcha though. Anyways, I only trust this location, definitely stop by! read more

- small parking area in front but more spots in the back - service was decent - heard good things about this place but it felt underwhelming - came for the gelato but the store ran out of nearly all the flavors and didn't have many other menu items left to choose from - small shop inside only 2-3 tables 1. Passionfruit shaved ice with add ons 3.5/5 - add ons were mochi, blueberries, passionfruit seeds, and i think purple yogurt - shaved ice was pretty good, passion fruit flavor was definitely there - refreshing dessert but definitely overpriced ($10.24) read more
Milk & Honey is an organic coffee shop located at Camp in Costa Mesa. It's a small coffee shop with limited seating but there are various spots to sit outside in CAMP. We didn't get parking right out front but there's plenty behind the building. The service was nice! Friendly and got our drink quickly. The drinks kind of missed the mark. I was expecting a more traditional dalgona, it wasn't very good. The Spanish latte was on the sweeter side of ones I've tried in the past. It's a cute location maybe just try something else. read more
Overall not a good first time experience, 2 stars is being generous. Maybe the girl at the register is having a bad day but you could tell she didn't care to be responsive. With a "no care" attitude when I asked a couple simple questions. I asked for an oatmilk latte and she made it with whole milk, so she had to remake my drink. They also were out of truvia sweetener and didn't have any lids left, so had to leave without a lid. Plus the bathroom was a disaster, barely any toilet paper, and no paper towels. Could have been a better first experience is all I'm saying and the girl at the register could have been nicer to the ONLY patrons in the shop. read more
Milk & honey has a lot of charm. The plants and decor throughout really make it a welcoming and beautiful place to study or just relax. It is on the smaller side, however. There initially wasn't any seating available but when we came back a half hour later there was. We ordered the Hanoi iced coffee and banana iced coffee with almond milk. I loved the banana iced coffee! It was delicious and the taste of the banana wasn't overpowering. I was not a fan of the Hanoi coffee, unfortunately. It just wasn't my personal preference. I know Vietnamese coffee is strong but I found the taste to be almost bitter, and the hazelnut cream was too sweet for me. I would like to come back and try their Spanish iced latte. read more

I really don't see the hype. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and the barista seemed to be in a bad mood the entire time. There's no seating available, and when I asked about the bread they served, the barista didn't even know. The bathroom was disgusting, and the coffee itself was as basic as it gets. Overall, a pretty disappointing experience. read more

First time here and will definitely be back. It was wheelchair friendly. My dad and I got the Strawberry banana smoothie and the Campfire Latte! Employees were nice and helpful when we asked about the drinks, too. Next time I'll get the shaved ice, too! read more

We had a mad craving for açaí bowls as a little dessert & Milk & Honey did not disappoint. The place is really quaint with a nature-type vibe & was very clean. They had a cute outdoor area under that was under a beautiful vine arbor. We arrived 45 minutes before closing & they were out of several items & ingredients but they were nice as heck & so accommodating that it made up for it. The guy & girl working were so warm, friendly & fun! Great customer service!!! We got a couple of açaí bowls and milk teas. I got the lavender milk tea, it was delish, & my son got the London Fog hot tea, & he & his friend both got açaí bowls. We enjoyed the bowls & teas even without them being prepare with the ingredients we originally wanted. 4 stars **** because they were out of a lot of ingredients & they did kick patrons out to close up. As always, peeps, go out & support your local small biz! Have a lovely day! read more

We ordered our food from here on DoorDash because we're sick and it was so disappointing I couldn't even finish my food. I ordered the avocado toast which was so over seasoned that I was coughing after every bite. There was barely any avocado on the toast, an extremely over seasoned egg, and then it looked like they just threw mixed greens on top. I also ordered the London Fog and my husband got the Vanilla Chai. Thankfully his tea was fine but mine tasted like just... hot water. Literally no flavor at all. And they were not covered or put in a holder or anything so they spilled during delivery. Really disappointed I spent money here. read more

爸媽來美國跟我住的這個時間、因為女兒住校，只有兒子天天在家，兩老的關愛全都在他一個人身上，我反而比較像住在家裡有搭伙的房客，前幾天吵著要買清潔玻璃的，原來是要幫孫子擦擋風玻璃，那時候駕照都還沒考上，拜託，我從16歲開車到現在，30幾年了，都沒人關心我的擋風玻璃乾不乾淨，我看得見嗎，世界真是不公平！ 這個地方是意外發現的，想買個咖啡，上 Yelp 找了家, 結果這裡賣咖啡的不只一家，地方寬闊，處處是景色，很適合愛拍照的女生，逛逛，晃晃的打發悠閒時光，感覺像個小小的文藝區，有到附近的，自己看看歐！ -- at Milk + Honey. read more

I got a Spanish latte. I liked it. Also got a berry waffle, a little burnt. My wife got a regular latte, wasn't too bitter. All in all, a good place. read more
This place was a great place to talk, work. I enjoyed my time here. I came around 7ish PM and it was very empty not alot of customers. It was an open space coffee place with some tables outside. The coffee options were good. I enjoyed mine. They had gelato as well. The customer service was awesome. Tara the barista was very kind in lending me her charger when I had forgotten mine. I would definitely recommend this place to work. I also LOVED the playlist they had on. Had to Shazam some of them. read more

It's got a cute name. And that might be the best part. (Full Review Below) I am the worlds first Coffélier™ (pron: Coffee--lee-a). Think sommelier but for coffee. I've been severely addicted since I was 12 when my dad offered me a black drip coffee and I've never looked back. Considering my coffee palate has been in development for quite a bit longer than most, I consider myself reliable to review coffee. One thing is always true though, I never review stores with more than 100 locations. At that point, that would be as futile as reviewing every McDonalds, not worth your or my time. We know what we are getting with those stores. COFFEE: 2.5 /5 stars - Bog-Standard Normally I have a unique ability to judge a coffee's flavor consistencies and inconsistencies... In the case of milk and honey, it is bog-standard average coffee flavor. Nothing stands out to me about it, but perhaps that is a good thing. If we compare coffee to water, the last you really want is for your water to deviate that far from standard. That being said, it will pair nicely with whatever cream or sugar you normally enjoy with you black sludge. CUPS: 2.5 /5 stars - Standard Plastic, plastic, plastic... Cup is normal to-go cup, not a sip cup at least, but standard. ATMOSPHERE: 1.75 /5 stars - Below Average It is very clear that careful consideration has been made to make this coffee shop more lovely than it otherwise would be... But with that being said, the music is too loud, the indoor space is much too cramped and the outdoor space is accompanied by a concrete bench, that, while it may pleasing the eye, is fairly uncomfortable to sit in. Since Milk and Honey is directly off the street as well, traffic noise is quite loud. The one redeeming quality about this shop is that it is a corner shop, so it feel significantly less cramped than it other wise would be. And I happen to think the table I am sitting at is pretty cool. Other than that though, pretty meager environment to be enjoyable in any right. And on this subject, just because a coffee shop has been decorated in a way that makes it ideal for taking instagram pictures and snapchats, the space still has to be functional and ENJOYABLE. Which it is neither. PRICE: 3.5/5 Stars - Average My regular size Iced Americano was $3.77, which is lower than normal for OC/Socal. Good work Milk and Honey. PARKING: 2.5/5 Stars - Could be better. I was here at a time when most people aren't. Noon on a Thursday. That being said, parking lot is small, but I did find a space immediately. I would surmise that this parking will become quite full quite easily at rush times. OVERALL: 2.05 /5 Stars - Change is hard, but necessary. Namely, the traffic noise could be subdued - to a degree - with the addition of some sort of noise absorbing barrier between the street and the outdoor space. That music volume could very easily be reduced. The furniture could change from brutalist to comfortable. The coffee could change from "bulk espresso roast" to ILLY or some other special coffee supplier that is not simply, bog-standard. Parking could be improved with the addition of "Milk and Honey" only spaces. Cups could be changed to compostable. Honestly, not many big changes, and this coffee shop could easily go from below average to a solid 4-star establishment. I hate to be too harsh as I know running a coffee shop is stressful and competitive, but the changes we are looking at here are mostly minor, securing better coffee is probably the only change that will be troublesome to any degree. Everything else is just spending more money... something no one really enjoys doing. But the upside is an establishment that wins the hearts of the many. You got this Milk & Honey. read more

Ask the Community - Milk & Honey
What should I do if I can't find parking? What are other options?
If there's no parking in front of Milk & Honey just park in "The Camp" parking lot around the corner! I've always been able to find parking there except one time when I had to park at "The Lab" which you can see across the street from The Camp.
Do they do order through the phone and pick up in store?
Yes I've done this before with their açaí bowls :)
Are you closed during the pandemic?
It was open in late Nov, 2020 when I visited... before OC returned to purple tier and the SoCal regional stay at home order that went into effect on Monday, Dec 7.
Is the outdoor patio dog friendly?
The outdoor area is enclosed from within the tea shop. I would not say it is dog friendly
Is this the same Milk & Honey that started in Tennessee?
No. This is family owned in California.
Are there any vegan items my sister is vegan?
Sure! In terms of drinks, there are quite a few coffee options as well as lemonades and smoothies (which I'm sure you can substitute a plant based milk in). Food wise, there's the açaí bowl (just ask for no honey), fruit bowl, oatmeal, peanut butter…
Does this place have board games? I'm trying to find a date night. Is it good for a date?
No board game. But I think this Cafe is good for a date!
