If you are in Newport Beach area and you need a charging station, this is THE place to visit! The cafe is soooo cute and cozy. The patio with a giant tree in the middle, it makes it so peaceful. We opted for latte, tea and couple of pastries. Everything was delicious. What was THE most memorable was the fact that a nice employee brought a warmer lamp for us w/o us even asking! It was raining very lightly so it was kind of chilly and he noticed that we kind of need the warmer, so he brought it to our table! That was so nice and kind! Thank you to whoever his name was! Be mindful that the parking is a zoo there and it is Valet only!!!! Bookmark it! read more

Milligram - Picture Perfect! - Cafes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We arrived around 9:30 AM, and by 10:00 AM our table was still empty--even though we only ordered two simple breakfast dishes. The wait was extremely long, and we eventually had to ask for our food to be packed to-go and leave without being able to enjoy the meal at the restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience didn't improve. When I finally ate in my car, I found eggshells still in my food, which was very disappointing. The servers were kind and polite, but overall the experience was poor due to slow service and lack of attention to food quality. Management should really work on time management and quality control. If you're planning to dine here, be prepared to wait at least 20-30 minutes for your order. read more

Truly, the food here is AMAZING! I have been a loyal customer for 5 years. I have hosted company parties here, I get my daily cup of coffee here, breakfast staples (must try the pancakes and breakfast Chibatta!), and now I have had the pleasure of trying dinner. The dinner was FANTASTIC. you must get the Wagyu with broccolini. The agave daydream cocktail was so mellow and delicious to drink! I'll say it now... the Wagyu is better than Nicks. SO good! Ed the owner has trained his staff with the utmost incredible hospitality and takes service to an entirely new elevation. This is Costa Mesa's IT spot! 1000000/100 recommend! read more

Ambiance is quaint. Service was good and not over bearing. We had Hannah. Food is not too shabby. Nothing mind blowing but certainly does feel clean and didn't destroy our guts afterwards and we are thankful for that. Definitely would try other menu items in the future. Seems like a good little local spot. You too should give it a try. Parking is weird with free valet. We parked on the street and just walked an extra few yards. read more

The coffee is the best here! There's so much variety around Costa Mesa and I love finding something exceptional. I usually try to get the cold brew - it is so high quality. You can just tell by the color and texture that it's good. The ice is the best part, it's small and perfectly clear. The service is top notch! They do a really good job of maintaining high quality and getting you a drink quickly. I looked at the wines. They seemed like they were mostly from more obscure origins. I would like to stop by sometime and try something. read more

Nice cafe, not my favorite coffee. People inside were super friendly, but I just didn't like what I got. It sounded amazing. Coffee cola! Didn't taste as good as I had hoped. My wife got a coffee with ice cream and like that, so we were 1 for 2. Wished I could have tried some of the pastry or food items, but I wasn't hungry. Maybe next time. Btw, the drink my wife got isn't on the menu. I asked for a regular coffee with ice cream, not the affogato, which is espresso over ice cream. read more

Milligram - Avocado Toast with bacon - Cafes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

If you're looking for a small mg of caffeine and food then Milligram Coffee and Kitchen is your place to be. And no, the portion sizes are actually reasonable here. For starters, the vibes are decadent, people will look good and all nicely dressed as per OC standards. Secondly, you may have to wait on weekends but it's not *too* bad usually, at least if you're just dining with 1-2 others. Anyway, food. My fiancé and I got the prosciutto and burrata, short rib and provolone melt, and breakfast ciabatta. The prosciutto and burrata is a take on burrata anything so it's good to start off with. The short rib melt was nice and tender. The meat: juicy, the flavor: savory, the verdict: worthy. The breakfast ciabatta was pretty standard honestly. Nothing great but nothing bad either so it's a safe option if nothing else on the menu stands out to you. Gotta get your egg fix somehow right? Most seating is outdoors so expect to enjoy sunny SoCal weather that we all pay so much to live here for. So all in all, it's a cute place to enjoy good vibes and food but it's not particularly groundbreaking in terms of flavor. read more

Food: Milligram leans more toward fresh, pretty, and curated rather than mind‑blowing. I tried the prosciutto and burrata, and while it was genuinely delicious (bright lemon oil, herbs, beautiful presentation) I couldn't help thinking, "Yeah... I could technically make this at home." It's priced at $18, which tracks for something that tastes good but doesn't reinvent anything. The short rib and provolone melt came in next at $22, a solid, savory sandwich with braised short rib, chimichurri, caramelized onions, and provolone on a French roll. It was enjoyable and filling, though not something I'd rush back for. The breakfast ciabatta with eggs, bacon, tomato, arugula, garlic aioli was also good but fairly standard, priced at $15.50, and honestly didn't stand out much either. Overall, the food was perfectly fine, but this isn't really a "come for the food" establishment. This is a "come for the scene, stay for the sunshine and attractive people" kind of place. Price: Milligram sits in the expected Costa Mesa trendy‑café bracket; not outrageous, but definitely in the "you're paying for the lifestyle" tier. With dishes like the prosciutto and burrata at $18, the breakfast ciabatta at $15.50, and the short rib and provolone melt hitting $22, the menu reflects exactly what you'd assume for a stylish, social‑forward café in this area. You're not being ripped off, but you're not discovering steals either. Ambiance: this is where Milligram truly wins. The design is clean, bright, and intentionally modern, giving you that quiet luxury feel without being stuffy. The patio, though, is the real showstopper--sun‑drenched, lively, and filled with the exact kind of well‑dressed, effortlessly cool Costa Mesa crowd you'd expect. Sitting out there feels like participating in a soft‑focus lifestyle commercial. It's clear that people come as much for the social energy as for their food or coffee. Service: it was warm and efficient. Staff move with that polished, confident ease that makes you feel taken care of without hovering. They let you settle into the atmosphere, and everything flows smoothly, matching the relaxed‑but‑stylish vibe of the place. Parking: can be slightly tricky depending on the time of day. Milligram offers free street parking and a free parking lot, but East 17th Street gets busy fast, and the prime spots fill early. You might end up walking a bit, though nothing outrageous, just worth factoring in if you're coming during a rush. read more

this place is so pretty for aesthetic photos for your Instagram. But unfortunately, the kitchen was under constructor so we can only get food made on the grill outside. So we were very limited.

First, thank you Sienna for an awesome service. I came across this spot spontaneously and I'm so glad that I did. It's in the cutest paseo shopping area, the inside is so beautifully decorated and the outside patio is so chic, lush and just romantic. We ordered a bunch of things like their latte a few different spritz, their avocado toast, their Shakshouka, their baked brie, and deconstructed lox bagel. Everything is fantastic and so well balanced. We were totally obsessed with the lox bagel and the baked Brie. If you're in the area definitely check them out. read more

I really wanted to love Milligram Coffee & Kitchen because the food here is actually amazing. My favorite food to order is the MG breakfast ciabatta which I order every time with my coffee. Unfortunately, the service just doesn't match up. The last time I came in, it took over 40 minutes for our food to arrive, and in that whole time our server never once checked in or updated us on what was going on. And the time prior I was told to sit anywhere I want in the patio and someone will come over to take my order, mind you this was on a Tuesday and very slow, I was sitting for over 20 mins and no server came over to even bring me water so I ended up leaving. I wish the service could be as good as the food because this place has so much potential especially the ambience. Until then, I'd recommend it if you're patient and don't mind waiting--but if you're looking for attentive service, you might be disappointed. read more

We came here to get some coffee drinks while in the area. Upon entering, it was a well decorated and organized cozy cafe. Loved the outdoor patio seating in the back of the place.

I ordered a flat white and it was tasty. read more

Service was too spot on- the barista and server were so sweet and ready to attend our table immediately. We got there right at 7:30am and there was no one there so we sat right away. It a darker moody vibe but a great happy atmosphere. The iced vanilla latte was good but they didn't have almond milk (???) so I had to get oat milk which I don't prefer. The strawberry match was not too sweet, had a subtle strawberry flavor, but not a lot of matcha for the price. The matcha and milk were slightly split, not well incorporated which threw me off. The ciabatta was yummy with the garlic aioli but not a lot of substance within the sandwich and that can be good or bad, however you look at it. read more

Super cute cafe and brunch spot in Costa Mesa. Ordered the turmeric latte which has become my go to order. Heard about the avocado toast so had to order it and it was very good. Chunky avocado meat with seasalt and sliced radish and cucumber topping. Really really delicious. Highly recommend it. They also had few other interesting dishes including shakshuka which I would like to try next time. They also have a wide variety of wine and spritzer. Can't wait to come back read more

Milligram Coffee is a very polished, high-end coffee spot with a great overall setup. The coffee is good and well made, the service is excellent, and the outdoor seating is a really nice place to sit and enjoy your drink. The space itself feels elevated and thoughtfully designed. The only drawback for me is the limited milk options, most notably no almond milk, which was surprising for a place at this level. Still a great coffee shop and a nice place to spend some time if you're in the area. read more

My friend and I came here for brunch on Sunday and there was plenty of parking and no wait. We got seated indoor with no wait but sitting outdoors would have been 30 minute wait. They had their lunch menu available starting at 11am. I got their protein bowl and the salted caramel latte with cold foam top. I really enjoyed the protein bowl which had harissa chicken, farro, hummus, cucumber and tomato bits. The dish was amazingly good! I loved the citrus from the lemon, savory from the hummus, spices from the harissa chicken, and the bits of feta cheese. Definitely would order again!! I wasnt a big fan of the salted caramel latte as it was a bit too milky for me. The cold foam top was a bit bland for me and didnt have much taste. When it came time to pay, our waitress came by with our bill. We paid without looking but later the waitress came by to tell us she accidentally charged us our neighbors dishes on top of our bill. So she refunded us and recharged us our bill. Will definitely have to check our bill next time we come here. read more

I had a hot vanilla latte my first time I was here and it was good so I came back a second time. The second time the cashier was kinda rude and my coffee was awful.

For $7.50 I will not be back again read more

I come here for brunch a couple times a month and I always have a great experience. The food is consistently good. The staff is very pleasant and focused on making your time there as nice as possible. The avocado toast is always delicious too! I'm vegan and they have some really great veg options which is enjoyable. Patio is absolutely beautiful and it's always a pleasant time. Sometimes there's way too many kids that run wild, so it's very disruptive for other people who are trying to enjoy conversation and food. Also the chairs are metal and very heavy, and when people drag them, they make the most excruciating irritating noise, it would be really nice if they switched up their chairs. They also have a delicious vegan banana banana bread that I'm obsessed with. It's pretty pricey but the food is high quality! read more

It's a shame this place is cute because it's an absolute mess of an establishment. I've tried this place on 3 separate occasions and each time the service has been horrible and the prices have only gotten more outrageous for the portions they provide. They are very understaffed (stood at the counter for 5-10 min just waiting to order despite no line every time) and they have so many dirty tables that they don't clear out often so you have to wait a while to get seated too. They also don't wipe down the tables super thoroughly so I had to clean my own table on a few visits which sucked. The parking in the back lot is also extremely limited and more often than not, you have to valet park just to buy a coffee. They also have two WiFi networks but these are not available to guests. Their espresso is also very sour. Safe to say I won't be coming back, and I highly recommend checking out other cafes in the Costa Mesa area as there are a lot of more reasonably priced options that will treat you much better as a customer. read more

Smoked salmon bagel was good, but the toast wasn't as of a "thick-cut" as we were expecting, given the name was "Thick-Cut Toast". Also saw pictures of the bagel on yelp and was expecting a DIY situation, but it came premade. As I was sharing with my mom, we had to deconstruct it. Loved the atmosphere of the outdoor seating area as there were live music. read more

Overall experience 10/10. Made a stop here with friends after a workout class in the area and it was a great way to wind down and relax. We decided to sit outside as there are more seating options, and while it was chilly out they have patio heaters keep the environment welcoming and inviting to many. Truthfully everything on the menu sounded so good from small plates to sandwich option so we tried what was recommended to enjoy. I enjoyed that the menu has shareable small bites but also plates to just enjoy yourself. We got the mushroom flatbread, baked brie, garlic & rosemary potatoes and Milligram breakfast to try. I would love to go back and try their coffee or tea but the house lemonade was very refreshing! There were plenty of parties enjoying the space and it overall seems like a great spot to catch up with friends or enjoy some alone time. Service was excellent, staff were very helpful as it was our first time dining. Looking forward to the next stop in. read more

This location is slightly hidden from street view, but it's located in a shopping center with some cute little shops. Unless you order to go, it is full service at the tables. There was a wait for a table outside, but indoor tables were immediately available. I tried the Shakshuka and a Salted Caramel Iced Latte. I enjoyed both! Would definitely recommend coming here to enjoy a coffee or cocktail. read more

A cozy, coastal escape, tucked away from the nonstop rush and dust of OC construction. Sunlight filters through the leaves, dancing on the table and making glasses sparkle--a quiet, timeless poetry in motion. Small garden hideaways offer moments of calm, where the gentle hum of life barely intrudes. Occasionally, soft noise drifts by, yet the serenity remains. The service is polite and friendly. Occasionally a bit forgetful or hard to find, but those small human errors are easily fixed. Drinks are light and enjoyable--golden latte is my favorite. Salads, breakfast, and sandwiches are fresh, simple, and made with quality ingredients--nothing extravagant, but reliably good. Best come when the sun is out; it can feel chilly and gray otherwise. The indoor seating is spacious, but the outdoor area is where the magic really happens--truly poetic and beautiful. read more

This is a great spot to grab a small bite or coffee at with friends on a weekday or weekend. I really enjoyed their traditional latte.

Very cute, European cafe vibe. Being under the trees and hearing the birds chirp with good company was chef's kiss. However, it is a well-deserved zen after all you go through to find parking lol. It's all designated outside parking and then free street parking but for locals, we know the street parking is also very limited. There was a lot of available parking for other restaurants but you can't park there due to towing threats via signs. (Suggestion: Milligram being allotted more parking spots since there were a lot available spaces, just not for Milligram) BUT once you get to Milligram, it's pretty and they do a good job in it being a pretty and peaceful ambiance. Turnaround time between ordering and receiving food took a long time. The person I was with even ordered with another server and the server didn't put the order in. It was the 2nd server who put in their order finally, so that was a bit underwhelming, but other than that, service was good. We always had water, always had what we needed, the servers were super friendly. This breakfast sandwich was 10 out of 10. Aioli sauce made the sandwich. This comes with bacon but I had avocado with it instead. They were out of garlic that usually goes on their potatoes but it was fine with me since I am one of those weird people who carries spices in my purse so I had Trader Joe's grinder garlic salt to make up for that. Really good breakfast and will get it again for sure. This place is a must-go for a good-weathered morning for cafe and breakfast. I got there in the afternoon so parking was at its peak. I doubt it is as much of a thing in the morning, but a great ambience for your morning outside seating experience read more

I suggested this location to my friend after our pilates class on a random weekday because I saw it on social media. It looks cute and lovely from all the posts I've seen online. When we got here, parking was tough, so we both did valet. There was only one person at the valet podium, running around in the heat trying to accommodate everyone. Very nice young man and helpful! Wish he had someone else to help him because he was definitely stressed. My friend entered the restaurant before me. She wasn't sure if we had to wait to be seated or if we needed to order at the counter before we find seats ourselves. There was no clear indication and one of the employees pretty much brushed her off while rudely telling her to sit outside. After I arrived at the table, we got the menu and were deciding on what to order. Got some drinks and food orders in, and I asked to keep one menu to potentially add more orders. The employee who was helping us at the time said "ok, just don't get it dirty." I was shocked and was trying to convince myself that they were just joking, although it didn't come off as a joke. Because it felt malicious, we ended up not ordering more items. And honestly, we didn't enjoy our food and drinks because they were average. How are you going to have average food and drinks, and act like you're too good for your customers? I don't know what compelled them to say that, but that was rude and weird. Was it a joke? Maybe...? I hope so, because why would someone treat another person like that? It came off rude and snobby. Is it because we were still in our workout clothes without makeup on, compared to everyone else who was in more business casual/smart casual? Regardless, it's still rude. Everytime I drive by the place, I am just reminded of how weird and gross the experience was, and I would never come back. So uncomfortable. And I would not recommend it to anyone. In summary, average food and weird vibes. The nicest person there was the valet person. read more

Milligram is such a hidden gem! It's tucked away in the back of a plaza, and has a good amount of seating. Aside from a cute, modern interior, Milligram also has an extensive outdoor seating area that's a nice blend of trees and neutrals. My family and I tried this place out for brunch, and it didn't disappoint! The ambiance was nice and relaxing, and they have the staple brunch foods. I definitely recommend the shakshuka, and their coffees are brewed well! If you want a cute spot to sit down and eat, or even do some work (I saw someone working on a laptop), then definitely swing by! read more

I want to like the coffee but each time my iced latte has been so overly milky and weak. I enjoy being able to eat outdoors there but the service is very slow and this last time even more so. Our server was nice when around but pretty much non existent. She never noticed my toddlers meal didn't come..had to flag someone else down for that. Didn't have any forks..had to flag someone else down for that. Had to wait forever to find her to get the bill and she ended up bringing us a bill that we quickly realized wasn't ours when it was much cheaper than we would have owed. Had to wait forever to find her to inform her we received the wrong bill and that we would owe more money. She then brought the correct one but no pen to sign the bill so again had to wait for her. A lot of waiting. Food was ok, nothing I would crave again, but ok. I'd really only come back if a friend wanted to meet up but not on my own choice otherwise read more

I've had my eye on Milligram coffee for a while and I finally decided to try it out. The service is why I am giving this place 4 stars. The service was truly amazing. Everyone who worked there was kind and jumped to help. The coffee shop is very cute and trendy with plenty of seating and good ambiance all around. Now for the coffee, I wanted to order a cold brew with a splash of half and half but to my surprise, they didn't carry half and half. I switched my order to an iced latte with almond milk but they only had oat milk and macadamia milk. I ended up going for macadamia milk and added vanilla flavoring. They brought the coffee out to us, and it was actually pretty good for all the trouble I went through but it was so small that I finished it in 4 sips. read more

I really wanted to like this place... I found this on Yelp a while ago and wanted to try this out. I parked outside in the parking lot and it is inside a bigger plaza that is two stories. After I walked into the restaurant, the front portion was a to go café. I was just standing around because there was no one to check in with or any front of house host. The barista told me that they do a full sit down dining service and let me to the patio outside where I was seated in the corner with a courtyard view. And you came pretty quick and the service was very nice. However, the Matcha latte that I ordered was very powdery with bland flavors of the milk overpowering. I ordered the milligram breakfast which had egg with yolk that was not runny and bacon that was hard to chew through. Two stars for the people, but the food and the drinks were subpar. read more

A little on the fence about this spot. This is a cute little space in a tucked away plaza, nice outdoor space. I ordered an iced matcha latte and somehow my order was lost, one of the groups above me had the same issue. I was told their ticket printer had been having issues but if that was a known issue I would anticipate them having a backup method, maybe writing the orders down or something of that sort. The drink itself was average. If I were in the plaza I would order it but I wouldn't make a trip there for it. read more

This was my first time at milligram, we sat outdoors and ordered a few bites and drinks. The location is really pretty and the courtyard is lined with trees and reminds me of European coffee shops. There is a parking lot in the back and some street parking but it can get full. The servers were very attentive and the food came out fast. The matcha latte wasn't very good at all, it wasn't mixed well and it settled at the bottom a lot. I don't think they use good quality matcha, probably more known for their coffee and other drinks. The food was pretty good, great place to grab a quick bite and catch up with friends. read more
