    Iced espresso
    Todd B.

    A giant indoor & outdoor space. Clean-modern lines. Good background music playing, and a warm welcome at the register. A great variety of imagery drinks, and a good food selection. Nice merch, with a variety of brewing contraptions, cleaver t-shirts, whole beans, cups totes etc. I had my usual iced espresso- which was sweet with a clean finish. No burnt taste like many coffee shops. The egg Cheddar biscuit was a perfect breakfast. Had a fantastic visit. Thanks Moongoat

    Went to my first MoonGoat in Costa Mesa and loved it! I dig the greenhouse coffee vibe. The GG location is a lot smaller but they still offer some small plants for sale. Def doesn't have as much seatings and there's an outdoor area but the cover is not waterproof so on a rainy day like today, it will get wet! But I love rainy day coffee day and catching up on Yelp review Labor Holi-day. My ost matcha was good but could use a stronger dose!

    I've been to other locations of Moongoat Coffee Roasters, and I continue to be a fan of the brand but this location was slightly less satisfying than the products I had at their other locations. The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

    Location is great. This coffee shop had plenty of parking and lots of students studying here. Lots of open space and plenty of indoor and outdoor dining space. The matcha drink was refreshing especially on a hot day. The flight coffee was a mix of the same coffee but served in different ways. Their staff members were very friendly and help me with the menu options.

    I had such a wonderful experience at Moongoat Coffee. I loved that they had a stack of menus near the door so customers can figure out what they want as they are waiting in line. For drinks we ordered an iced americano topped with sea salt cold foam and a hibiscus iced tea sweetened with honey. My iced americano was delicious. The coffee itself was smooth and the sea salt cold foam provided a hint of sweetness. The hibiscus tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. You know it's going to be TEA when the drinks have crushed ice . Their bagels are fluffy and delicious. My egg sandwich had arugula, cheese, and bacon. The bacon is cooked more crispy, which I love. My husband said the salmon bagel was "so f'n good" and that the cream cheese was excellent. When you dine in, the staff brings out the food to your table. The employees were so nice and provided service with a smile. We loved the ample indoor space and extra seating outside that's covered.

    Coffee is as beautiful as the service; the people cranking out, and dialing, the 'spro here are the best around. Shout out to Wei on staking the time to guide me through beans while killing a rush queue!

    Bagel Breakfast Sandwich, Buttermilk Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich Deluxe, Apple Juice
    Jason B.

    I remember noticing this place just after it first opened. I ignored it for the longest time before running across it in my Yelp! Recommendations. I gave them another look, and was surprised by what I saw: They weren't just serving coffee and pastries, they were serving actual food! Pleasantly surprised, I decided to give them a try. Looking over the menu, I already knew ahead of time what I was going to order. Then came the day I gave them a try. I had Volunteer work that same day, so, I got there bright and early. When I walked in, the place looked upscale, but, not someplace where the 2% hang out. Upscale, yet, modern, but, not hipster. You can order at the counter, or, use the ordering kiosk. I ordered a Breakfast Bagel Sandwich, and a Buttermilk Biscuit & Egg Sandwich Deluxe. My order was ready within 15 minutes, which is reasonable. Both sandwiches were delicious, and surprisingly filling! I was worried that I wouldn't have room for the Biscuit Sandwich, since I finished the bagel sandwich first. The Bagel Sandwich, texture-wise, was perfect, as far as I'm concerned. Not rubbery at all, and easy to bite into. The Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich was perfect, too. Flaky, and all the fillings made for a delicious breakfast. I'll be making this one of my go-to's for a quick bite before heading out to do my Volunteer work!

    16oz iced Budget Brü w cold foam ($6.50)
    Megan L.

    They have events with vendors and live music, their own massive parking lot, and two floors of tables. WiFi was good. + 16oz iced Budget Brü ($5 + $1.50 Sea Salt Cold Foam; Light Sweet, Cocoa Dusting): amazing price for a solid size and quality coffee (9/10)

    Patio
    Sandi I.

    Great place for a cup of coffee, but also has a great menu with breakfast sandwiches and more. Lots of places inside, upstairs and patio to enjoy your coffee. Hanging withe a big group of friends? This is the perfect spot. The staff is awesome and the vibe is urban industrial chill. Lots of local here and also folks hopping off the 22 freeway at Knott to get food and drinks. The shop is set back in a large parking lot next to a Calvary Chapel not easy to see from the street. Sunday mornings parking may be tight.

    Breakfast biscuit deluxe
    Ethan A.

    Their breakfast biscuit is one of the best breakfast items I have ever had!! That alone is worth 5 stars and a trip here to try it yourself. The biscuit was so fresh and had the perfect texture. All the ingredients were high quality and it was so flavorful. I loved that it wasn't too heavy, but was incredibly satisfying and filling to start the day. The cafe mocha was alright, probably wouldn't order that again in all honesty. Service was friendly and the interior had plenty of seating available with some decorations to liven things up. There's a nice outside area as well with some shade, but all the seats were taken when I went. I will definitely be back here just for that breakfast biscuit deluxe as it was simply incredible and had my tastebuds dancing like it was disco night in the 80s!!

    Italian focaccia
    Ashley M.

    I genuinely wish and pray a moongoat location opens up closer to me. This is my absolute GO-TO for coffee, chai, cafe food. The lord knew yall had to be far from me cause my credit card company would be seeing moongoat in my statement EVERYDAY. I treated myself after passing a test as one queen should. I got myself a LARGE chai tea. go big or go HOME. honey I would've ordered 3 but I would've had to pee on the side of the freeway drinking alllathat. Of course it hit all my brain's g spots... but wait. I had also ordered the italian focaccia sandwich. pause. I'm having flashbacks. Looooooooord. 10/10, no 100/10. I was licking my fingers all that butter or oil whatever it was like there was no tomorrow. how was it so good?! I am astounded. Bewildered. flabbergasted. They have an indoor, upstairs and outside patio for your needs. As well as being a cute cafe for your studying needs. I love moongoat so much 0 complaints except i wish they were closer to me. xoxo

    MaChaga
    Lois K.

    Though it's a coffee place, what I love most is their Garden Goat Focaccia sandwich. Their focaccia bread is so good, so their Italiano Focaccia sandwich is also good, but I especially love all the roasted veggies and eggplant in the Garden Goat and think it's totally worth it for the price ($10.25). Their MaChaga (mushroom matcha) is pretty good and I've had various desserts as well that are good. What I am not as much a fan of is the layout/seating here. It feels dark and dingy on the top floor and if you can't get a seat at the larger table, you'll have to squeeze into the corner table. On the first floor, there is also a larger table but I've been kicked out of it before by staff who have told me they're having a meeting there. There is smaller tables, stool seating around the bar and then sofa seating (which is good for chatting but I'm usually there to work on my laptop). As a result, I wouldn't prefer to work here - just to grab a sandwich/drink to-go.

    Great coffee and Tea Drinks. They has great coffee bean for purchase and plenty of drink choices. Nice seating areas inside and out. Very nice service and staff very helpful in helping you choose a drink or beans.

    Do you house make your syrups?

    Do you guys have wifi available and how do I access it?
