    I have been here a few times, even though I have driven past it hundreds of times. My daughter was emphatic that I try it with her. Dislocation is a tiny little drive through.But the workers work efficient and fast. It's pretty pricey, but the drinks that i've had, variations of the cold matcha, have been spot on.

    What a fun little coffee stop! By entering through Fairview Street, one lane is for app-placed orders; the other, one can park among the limited spaces to place one's order at the walk-up window. The staff member assisting us that afternoon was appreciatively helpful, patient and professional. This location is convenient to taking one's beverages, to enjoy at the beach!

    Stopped by here for some coffee after a hike, and it was cute! I don't think it's anything special, but it is good. I got an iced Hulk, which is a matcha latte with cascara  and koatja milk. It's just a pretty standard matcha latte, not bad, not great.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place, but it is one of the only matcha places I could find in the Laguna Beach area. It also has a drive thru so it is very convenient.

    Always a delicious time at Moon goat. This small walk up and drive up coffee and pastry shop is one of my favorites in Laguna. Service is always super friendly and nice and very helpful. I was gonna try something off the holiday menu since it was still present however I went with my old standby the iced churro latte. Well balanced, sweet, delicious. I've never had any pastries or other drink drinks here, but I should probably try something else. Sort of parking but not really. Just a cool vibe with some coffee beans and retail items available as well.

    The matcha blueberry lavender with oat milk was delicious. The flavors were unique but really well balanced -- the blueberry and lavender added a subtle sweetness that paired perfectly with the matcha. I'd definitely order it again.

    The drive through was kinda tricky! I don't remember if there's even inside seating. Service was great! The ladies there were sweet. The matcha wasn't my favorite. Tasted a little watered down. Their coffee might be better!

    Great little coffee spot in Laguna Beach! We had good service & our lattes were good. They have these cool little seating areas up front & they are working on a covered shaded structure in back. We'll definitely be back when in Laguna

    Friendly service, small menu. Matcha latte was good. I had it slightly sweetened with vanilla. Seems to be only one size drinks which is on the smaller side. A little pricey for the size you get but it was within walking distance from Crescent Bay.

    So convenient that MoonGoat has a drive thru / walk up location right on PCH! I'm a huge fan of their churro latte so I love that I can grab it before a morning walk along the beach or drive in to pick up my mobile order before making my way up coast hwy. Service is always super quick and friendly and they even have some merch available. Love their banana bread and pastries

    They used to serve awesome lattes! Not anymore....

    If you have this place "bookmarked" please do yourself a favor and "UN-bookmark it".......... Now, if you have time to know why, you can continue reading this review. The main Moongoat location in Costa Mesa is awesome and serves delicious coffees. So when I saw that they have a drive-thru in Laguna, I was sooo excited to give it a try! Upon turning into the place, right off the bat, I saw that they have a line for "mobile" pick up that is basically goes against the regular traffic. Considering that this place is super small, the mobile lane makes it soooo hard to maneuver especially if you are driving a 4 wheel drive! I just don't understand, the whole point of the drive-thru is getting your drinks in-n-out, so not sure why there is a seperate "mobile" lane?!!!! Besides the headache of getting to the ordering window,, my iced vanilla latte was sooo watery and bland that it was just awful... I always order my drinks half sweet, but this honestly just tasted like milk mixed with ice, there was no coffee flavor whatsoever. This place was truly a diappointment. I totally can see it not surviving, unless they make some huge changes to their ordering setup and the quality of their drinks!!!!

    Iced latte with oat milk

    I can see why this place is popular, though I can't say I'll be back in a hurry. The most important part of a coffee shop is the coffee, obviously. And this coffee is fine. It's not bad, which can't be said for some other cafes in Laguna, but it's not above average either in my opinion. Their ice is nice! The location is a little.. interesting. It's pretty isolated from other places you'd casually find yourself, basically low foot traffic. But that's not something that can be held against the business. You get what you can with Laguna so for what it is, I think it works well. It was cute! Just a little out of the way. Lastly, the staff were quick and friendly enough. Seemed a little overstaffed when I was there, but from what I've heard I'm sure this place can get fairly busy. No big complaints honestly. It's cute so I can see why it's popular and the coffee is better than Starbucks, but that's the bare minimum to me. If for some reason you find yourself in the area, I recommend stopping, but I don't think it's something you need to go out of your way to experience.

    Very cute little coffee shop on PCH, it's basically just a little drive-thru! The service was friendly and quick, especially considering there was only one person working it! The drinks weren't bad, but weren't anything special, the coffee and chai itself tasted good, but the drinks definitely relied on lots of syrup or sugar for the flavor. Not at all a bad spot, but I'd probably try another shop next time I'm in the area.

    Banana matcha with vanilla sea salt  cold foam

    The Banana Matcha was amazing, at just under $9. I swapped the banana cold foam for sea salt cold foam and loved it even more (though the banana foam is still good too). The iced Café Brü, however, was a big disappointment. It was extremely bitter, and no sweetener option was offered when ordered. When I asked if it could be made less bitter, the barista first gave me raw cane sugar packets (which don't dissolve in iced coffee). After I explained that, she went inside and came back with a small cup of brown sugar syrup instead of actually fixing or remaking the drink. Even with the syrup, the coffee stayed unbearably bitter, and we ended up throwing it away. This was around 7:30am 9/1/25. It was not busy at all. Overall: the Banana Matcha was amazing, but the Café Brü was far too bitter, and the service wasn't very accommodating in resolving the issue.

Meanwhile waiting , got myself familiar with the place and caught the vibe by the window. This is something expected especially by the beach. I got my drink and nice enough to allow me to help myself to sprinkle some cinnamon on my drink. Super cool. Make me feel like I added my own twist to the drink. Who doesn't like to feel engaged. The drink was good. Drink was smooth especially with the coconut and it paired well not to over powering not to sweet. It' was a good choice.

    I feel like I could just copy and paste this for most coffee shop reviews now - "Fine, but…read moreexpensive..." I have to be honest, I was not impressed with this latte, and I am wondering why everybody raves about it. I got a vanilla latte and added vanilla cold foam as a little treat and somehow it still had a little to no flavor? I think it was $18 or $19 for 2 drinks, that's just crazy to me and it's my own fault, that should have been a warning, but they had a Ube cruffin (and my husband loves ube) and I ordered one without asking the price and imagine my surprise when it was $7! A little more than that I think actually. I get it - it's a pricey area, they're a block from oven views, it's Laguna, I'm too broke to live and exist there but good Lord. All of that aside, it is a very cute shop, very cute merch, and very good vibes with lots of sitting areas. They even had a cute little corner with toys for kids to play with, which I love!

The order came out quickly and tasted fine, but the cleanliness and vibe were a real letdown. Our outdoor table was dusty and grimy (which I cleaned), and I chalked it up to being outside, but every table and the floor was dirty and remained dirty and littered with trash the entire 2+ hours we were there. Around 3pm (they close at 8), an employee flipped the bar chairs upside down onto the counter without wiping anything, which blocked the view of the business from the sidewalk. People kept walking and wondering out loud if it was closed or closing soon. During a few instances, customers pulled chairs down to sit, got told hastily to put them back when they were done, then a second group and individual customer did the same and sat with their drinks for a few minutes and were told outright they couldn't sit there and the chairs had to go back up, right as a line was forming from the better visibility. There were multiple instances of customers wanting to sit and enjoy their drink, but could not. It was odd. Once the chairs were back up, the business slowed down to a trickle. It was almost comical how the business hurt its own flow. I don't know why we were left alone, maybe because we had laptops and came before some unknown patio seating cutoff rule. The bathroom was just as bad, overflowing trash and paper all over the floor, both when we arrived and when we left. Restrooms should be checked hourly. It's not hard, and it makes you wonder about hygiene behind the counter too. I've had cleaner, friendlier experiences at other Better Buzz locations (La Mesa, University, Point Loma). For Laguna Beach, I'd check out Equator Coffee nearby instead (unfortunately only open until 3), located inside the Rivian showroom, a historic 1922 theater with couches, balcony seating, wifi, and sometimes free evening film screenings you can catch later. TL/DR: Dirty tables and bathroom at this Better Buzz, and an unwelcoming vibe for customers and passersby alike.
