    Vanilla Latte
    Robert H.

    Great coffee spot that also has some food options. Solid service, very accommodating and efficient. Great seating area inside and outside. Patio on a nice day is a winner

    This location is beautiful. The glass above creates a cool vibe. I'm only giving three stars because of the attitude of the cashier. I think everyone would agree that people that work at coffee shops and take your order can really set the tone for the experience. The young lady who took my order seemed miserable. Not a very warm welcome or great first impression of this shop.

    My friend suggested we try out Moongoat Greenhouse because we were in the area, and I didn't know this place existed and was so close to South Coast Plaza! Parking is validated when you pay, so don't worry about paying to park. The atmosphere is so cool inside, it's in a greenhouse as the name implies but the way it's set up perfectly compliments the housing. He got the vanilla latte while I got the churro latte. He liked his, but I wish I went for something in the matcha section. I'm not too fond of coffees, and I saw this listed under the Milky Way section, so I assumed it wasn't coffee based, but rather just a milk based drink? I probably should have asked, but for a latte, I didn't think it was too bad! It wasn't too strong, but I don't see the churro aspect too much.

    Matcha Latte, Iced Tea, and Cold Brew

    I have seen this spot all over media, but what really brought me here was OC Restaurant Week! We saw their Restaurant Week menu online, and decided to give it a try. They had 2 separate menus for Restaurant Week, one that was $25 and another at $30. The only difference is you an affogato at the end of the meal. We ended up getting one of each. Of the options, here is what we ordered: $25 Menu: Cold Brew: Normal cold brew. They have sweeteners and such on the side if you would like to adjust. Chicken Lettuce Wraps: These were delicious! It comes with 3 wraps and a side of sauce. They chicken was moist and the lettuce was fresh and crispy. Side sauce was a bit spicy, almost like a chili oil? Not the traditional lettuce wrap, but definitely a great starter. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup: The grilled cheese here was one of my favorites! It was nice and crispy, but not hard. Cheese was perfectly melted with a good pull to it. Soup was average and we did not make too much of a dent in it other than to dip the grilled cheese. $30 Menu: Iced Tea: Regular unsweetened ice tea, again adjustable on your own with the sugars and such they have on the side Roasted Carrots: carrots were a bit too soft for my liking. It was a bit sweeter than expected, but still good cinnamon flavor to it. Wish it had a bit more char to it though Cuban Sandwich: was very soft and moist, unlike a lot of other dry sandwiches I have had in the past. I would say it was a bit too peppery for me. Did not eat the entire thing because of it. Vanilla Affogato: The ice cream in this was sooo good! They did pour over a hot shot of espresso and it melted the ice cream, making it so creamy and delicious. I am not the biggest espresso fan, but this one was good!! Wish they had a matcha option. Matcha Latte: Ordered the smallest size of this on the side with vanilla syrup in it. Felt like it was a bit pricey for the size and flavor was just average. Nothing too special abut this one. After our meal, we hung out and got some work done. It is a beautiful workspace with a ton of glass and seating. Did not seem to crowded today, so there were plenty of open seats, most of them with chargers nearby in case you needed a quick charge. I would have to say that parking here is difficult. It is in a business complex and the spots right in front are only 20 minutes. I'm for sure coming back to make this another go to work space, but for sure the drinks are just average from what I have tried.

    Me and hubz are on a coffee date kick lately. We heard of Moongoat in Costa Mesa. Can I start off that the aesthetic of the place is so cute-- love the greenhouse vibe. It has me wanting to bust out my laptop, soak up some sun and have a cold brew. Service so friendly and quick. Our barista provided solid recommendations. I just went with a cold brew and a cold foam. A bit bummed they didn't have different cold foam options but still solid. Hubby got a matcha which was delicious. They also have food ( breakfast and pastry options) which looks absolutely delicious and decently priced. Overall, popular spot in the Costa Mesa area and for good reason too. I will definitely be back more than once!

    Smoked salmon bagel & house iced tea, do it! So perfect!

    Had to stop and share mid bite about this iconic smoked salmon bagel & iced tea combo on a vibey Friday California afternoon. I want to gatekeep this spot, but you need to come and work or relax here atleast once in your life. It will heal you. Incredible.

    Super cute spot for brunch + studying! Went around 10 and there was plenty of open seating plus a few outlets, stayed for a few hours to work.

    The view and vibes? Amazing! The drinks? Terrible! Every time I've come this place has been packed- doesn't matter what time of the day or day of the week, the people love a good open, airy coffee shop. And the interior makes up for it all. Plenty of different types of seating! (big tables, comfy chairs, high tables, etc) The drinks, however, awful. Taste like watery milk. I've gotten the masala chai latte and it was so watery, I never drank it. I've also gotten the matcha (iced and HOT) and it was so mid. You can add sweetener but then it just makes it taste so fake. Idk why everything just taste watery. Parking is across the street and only for 2 hours which is a real bummer. Have to repark if you plan on spending the whole day there and that's tricky because the moment you leave, someone will take your spot.

    A nice place to have breakfast and coffee before heading to OCMA. The outdoor seating is clean and relaxing. Parking is right in front but very limited. We parked at the structure across the street. Remember to get validated (2hrs).

    I had coffee plans with my friends and we decided to come here. This location of MoonGoat Greenhouse is in Costa Mesa in the South Coast Metro area. They have a small parking lot in front of the café for 20 minute parking for quick pick ups. If you plan on staying longer, they have 2-hour validation for the parking structure across the street. Upon entering I found that this location was spacious with a very modern artsy layout. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor parking. You can order with staff or at their kiosks. One cool thing was how they had plants all around and they were all available for purchase if you would like to adopt a plant. I had their Deluxe + Egg Avocado Toast ($15) and a Large Iced Matcha Latte ($6.75) less sweet. The drinks are prepared really quickly. I thought my matcha latte was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. The matcha was really good too. The deluxe + egg avocado toast comes with a boiled egg sliced up, crispy bacon, balsamic, and herb oil. It was cut in half. I'm all for finger food but it fell apart a bit so it needed a fork to help me eat without everything spilling. It tasted really good and I'm so happy they served food because I was so hungry. My friends ordered hot lattes and they were served in mugs, which we appreciate. Coffee tastes better in a mug than paper cups. It also had cute latte art. They both enjoyed the lattes they ordered and we had a great time catching up. The vibes here are great for students studying, getting some work done, or catching up with friends. Staff was all friendly and nice. Quality is on point, which is consistent with what I have experienced at their other locations also. Highly recommended for my fellow coffee lovers. Until next time!

    pure sunlight with my flat white :)
    Richie D.

    Very good Flat White! Great ambiance but if you're sensitive to outdoor light, you should sit outside under an umbrella. I found that it's very bright inside and the clear windows greenhouse effect may be a lot. The smoke from the kitchen may also linger around the main room.

    I was a bit disappointed they didn't have their banana matcha because I enjoyed it the last time I came to the greenhouse so I ordered the orange one instead. The orange matcha isn't the best flavor combination but that may be due to personal preferences. I was hoping for a little stronger citrus taste to make it more refreshing, but it seemed like it was minimally present. I will say the pricing isn't worth it for the amount of oz offered compared to other cafes. I love to come here to do work as there are lots of seating and free WiFi. No outlets available or at least few available if I didn't see any. It's also not ideal since you have to pay for parking at the parking garage if there is none available in front of the cafe, which is limited time. Service is great. Staff is nice and will get your order in a timely manner. Very chill and relaxed place to go with friends or by yourself.

    Avocado toast
    Sarah Y.

    This cafe was very cute! Immediately when you walk in, you feel like you're inside a greenhouse because of the many windows giving it an open calm vibe. The food options were decent for a coffee shop, they had things like avocado toast and lunch type of grab and go sandwiches and salads. They also sold merch like coffee beans and tote bags. I got the avocado toast, and liked how the tomatoes and arugula complemented the avocado paste. The tomato made it different from the avocado toast I make at home. I wouldn't say it's life changing but it was definitely a good, healthy grab and go option. I liked that they gave 2 toasts, which made it worth the cost. The matcha was solid as well, it's more on the grassy vegetal style so if that's your type of matcha, this is the place for you. There were a few 20 min parking spots in the lot. Few outlets, plenty of tables, great vibes!
