My first impression of the cafe was that it looks and feels like a quaint house. When I walked in, it felt like I was in a house from a coming of age movie. The baristas were very kind and welcoming. I saw lots of seating and also peeped seating outside as I looked for the bathroom. The bathroom was very clean and beautifully decorated, which I really appreciate in a coffee shop. :) I ordered the rosemary caramel latte hot and a morning roll. I closed my eyes for the first sip and was so happy about how smooth the foam was. The rosemary flavor came through first, then it was softened by the sweetness of the caramel. It paired very nicely with the slight orange flavor of the morning bun. I am usually a sipper but I drank it quite quickly, which is usually a good indicator that I absolutely love the drink. I was tempted to stay for longer, but had to go because the parking lot has 5 minute spots. I will definitely be back for more! :) read more

The Neat One with housemade vanilla syrup: 3/5. This was an ok iced latte. Kinda milky, almost bland, but I did taste a subtle vanilla flavor. It wasn't super sweet, though I would've enjoyed it more if it had more flavored syrup and/or a stronger coffee presence. The barista who took my order was chipper and patient. Since straws were apparently behind the counter since they haven't gotten around to restocking the self-service area, I requested one for my iced latte. Those straws weren't individually wrapped, so it grossed me out when the barista handed one to me with her bare hands. It's a cute shop with minimalist, modern vibes. Barely any parking there, so we parked a block away and walked over to its little nook. They also sell a variety of roasted beans, and we liked the Pantan Sinaku Indonesia beans from Dune Coffee Roasters. If I were to come back, I'd try the Shakerato, as it seems to be consistently crowd-pleasing. read more

If you're looking for good coffee, this is a great place. However, I am super big on first impressions and this one didn't hit the spot. I came here with a friend to work on a project. Upon arrival, there was a little to no line at the register. My friend and I hopped in line and waited about 10 minutes for the barista to finish a conversation that she was having with the person in front of us who seemed to be her friend. As someone that's big into customer service, I believe that serving your customers and making sure they're not having to wait is a huge priority. As soon as our order was taken, we got our coffee quickly and we're able to work on our project using the coffee shops Wi-Fi. They had plenty of tables and room for us to sit and set up. Their bathrooms were kept clean and organized. Overall, this is a good coffee shop just maybe not the best experience. read more

Super friendly service, excellent coffee, relaxing atmosphere and good food! I had an espresso, gf/df toast with olive oil and salt, and egg. Simple food but the toast was so good! Kinda like shepherds bread with crunchy thick crust and doughy chewy middle. The big pieces of what looked like sea salt was just right with a drizzle of olive oil on top. The soft yoke egg went perfectly with every bite of the toast! Will come again! read more

We are here working all the time they have really great Wi-Fi coffee and vibes. Their shakerato is my favorite drink. It's not too sweet and the caffeine level is just right. I've also tried their strawberry Matcha- incredible. A tip - If you want something less carb heavy ask for their burrito as a burrito bowl which comes without the tortilla and if you like spice get the spicy aïoli - that sauce is to die for! they have a cute little patio area as well and the space while it seems small fits a lot of people the only major con about this place is that the parking lot fits may be only eight or 10 cars total so be prepared to walk and park and find street parking if you come at very busy times read more

A very cute chill coffee spot! Would definitely come here to work sometime after being here. Loved the indoors, nice decor & might. Also some fun games like chess. Service was fast & friendly. I got the baker street hot which was delicious read more

Stopped by while I was in the area for the DMV. Neat was a quick 3 minute walk down the alleyway and is tucked into a small parking lot. Once inside, the space was fairly open and there was a fair amount of seating, but most tables we're full when I arrived Everybody behind the counter was super friendly and I got my order really quickly. My cold almond milk latte was good and rich. It had a bit of an acidic finish probably from the beans that were used. read more

My sister and I went on another cafe spree as we both sought to finish up on our studies. The chosen cafe of interest has been Neat Coffee. We ordered the following *Decaf latte with oatmilk $7 *Americano (iced) $4 *Banana Bread - Rye Goods Dark Choclate Chip Banana (contains coconut) $6 *Bliss Ball GF Cookie Dough $3.75 You'll walk in feeling cozy. Our server's name was Grace, and she was so kind. All the people working here are kind. There is a good amount of seating inside to study. It may be a bit harder to find outlets, but just be ready to rotate around tables if need be. I appreciated the aesthetics that were all so seamlessly put together to present a Neat Cafe experience. They provide Wifi and a 10% discount if you arrive on foot, bike or board! God bless you all. read more

Very clean aesthetic, I love the vibes inside. The three word/s for this vibe would be spring/fall, soft mood, and delicate. We ordered the Vanilla Matcha Latte Iced and the Shakerato plus a Blueberry Vegan Donut. The Cashier recommend the Shakerato as one of the popular drinks ordered. Come and try them out ^^ Everything tasted great and can't wait to come back for more! read more

decided to try out a new coffee shop in my neighborhood, i went ahead and got my normal routine coffee shop order and it was genuinely so awful. the almondmilk was very watered down not at all what i was expecting, and it made the whole latte taste horrible. barista was great but unfortunately the $8 that was spent was not worth it in my opinion. read more

So good! I'm a coffee snob (jk). I love my coffee with sugar and cream, but not too sweet and not too bland. This place is perfect. Good people, good owners. Would come back. read more

There's no going back after discovering Neat Coffee. This is a solid spot for anyone looking to get caffinated in the Costa Mesa area. One of the best parts is their complimentary parking lot. Driving around in circles is an easy way to damper your work afternoon. There's plenty of seating inside to work or catch up with a friend. They also have a few seats in the back for those willing to sit in the sun The only negative is that there aren't too many electrical ports if you're looking to charge up. Neat's drink menu is creative and fresh, with a number of unique seasonal creations. I personally loved the Shakerato, which comes with maple, sea salt, oat milk, and topped with espresso. They also offer food and pastries. The avocado toast I tried was delicious and served on thick sourdough bread. Just bring a charged laptop if you plan to stay a while. read more

Neat Coffee - strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Interesting coffee drink selection here! I got the Baker Street (hot) and it was the perfect sweetness - tasted like a Golden latte with a shot of espresso. Hubby got the PB Cookie (iced) and that tasted great too. The inside area is a little small and there wasn't any free tables when we arrived (around 1pm) but there was plenty of seating on the patio (dog friendly). The parking lot is tiny and a few spots are 5 min parking only but we parked a few min walk away on the residential street. They have free wifi too but I can't speak to the quality cause I was just there to read but a few folks had their computers out and there are two tables inside with outlets but both were occupied when we were there (Saturday afternoon). read more

Amazing Latte- Neat makes their own almond milk;) sooo nice not to have the added sugar. I also like the gluten -free options. Glad you're here. And the people that work at Neat are friendly it seems they have a following as they know their patronage by name. read more

Cute little hidden gem in Costa Mesa! It was busy with tons of people working on their laptops and friends gathering for a morning coffee date. The service was fast and very welcoming. I ordered the Iced Matcha Latte with Vanilla. It was good overall, however I could have used a bit more Vanilla because I am not sure if I even tasted it in my drink to be honest. The Matcha itself I don't feel I got enough Matcha flavoring as I usually like but that's more of a preference on my part. I saw a couple other drinks I'm interested in trying but my go to at any coffee shop is to try their Matcha. Definitely will be back to try more drinks and more specifically their coffee selection. read more

Friendly staff + nice interior for studying, but can get pretty loud/crowded. Limited parking. Peanut butter cookie latte: decent--the peanut butter flavor is there but could be a lot stronger. The flavor seemed a little diluted. Shakerato: great flavor + the maple wasn't too overpowering. Precaution that the cup for this drink is pretty small, but I would get this one again. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. I almost don't want to post this because I don't want them to be too busy and then I have to wait in line longer. Modern, beautiful interior. Exceptional value with high-quality. Amazing service. When is the last time you went to a coffee shop and they come by your table to make sure you are satisfied with everything and then come back 30 minutes later with a cold glass of fresh water without you even asking for it. Ben just did that. read more

Neat Coffee in Costa Mesa, tucked off Pomona Avenue, is an absolute gem and easily worth a visit. From the moment you walk in, the space feels welcoming and thoughtfully curated, setting the tone for a really great experience. I ordered the Neat Special Shakerato, and it completely exceeded expectations. The blend of espresso, maple, sea salt, and oat milk was beautifully balanced rich yet refreshing, with just the right touch of sweetness and a smooth, velvety consistency. It's the kind of drink that feels both indulgent and carefully crafted, and you can tell real intention went into perfecting it. I also tried the avocado toast with egg, which was made to perfection. Fresh ingredients, great texture, and spot on seasoning made it both satisfying and elevated simple done exceptionally well. What truly sets Neat Coffee apart, though, is the service. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Definitely recommend! read more

Cute neighborhood coffee shop. I have never tried their food but will have to in the future. Their staff was very friendly. Drinks: Strawberry Matcha Latte: 9/10, seasonal drink that was not too sweet and the balance between the oat milk and matcha was perfect. Oat Milk Flat White: 9/10, perfect consistency with the milk that made the drink extra silky smooth. Parking might be tough as their lot is very small and you may need to find residential street parking. read more

Discovered neat coffee through instagram and i am so glad we did. Walking in the interior was super cute. There are a few tables where you are able to study with a lot of natural lighting. The back area was very cute too with larger tables for groups. Service was great. We came on Halloween and the girl was super friendly. We got the shakerato and the strawberry matcha. The matcha was finished by the time we drove out of the parking lot. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me and would definitely get it again. The shakerato was also a hit and i loved the hint of maple syrup. Forsure will definitely be returning and recommending! read more

This place is a nice place to stop by for a coffee or matcha! They have nice seasonal drinks that are unique and well made. We ordered their strawberry matcha and peanut butter latte, both of which were made well and had an authentic taste! I personally would've liked the peanut butter latte just a tad sweeter, but staff is always happy to make adjustments. Parking can be a little limited here, but it's a nice, clean place to sit in at and study. read more

I like the service, super kind people and good vibes. The location itself is in the middle of a neighborhood, and the parking is abysmal. I got a ticket for parking on the street when their lot is full. Not planning on going back any time soon because of how inconvenient it is. The interior is well lit, with nice bathrooms and a good number of tables. good place to go and study, a fair amount of outlets. read more

Found a sweet little coffee shop tucked away off the Main Street. I appreciate small businesses and love to support. I was looking for a good matcha but their special coffee of the season called to me when she said it was made with a date caramel syrup. I saw they use great ingredients. Can I have both?? I guess not. I will have to come back. I appreciated the smiles and sweet spirits. Felt loved read more

I came here explicitly because I thought they served Rocky's Matcha; which they in fact, do not. I saw it was a cute little cafe with cozy vibes so I decided to give it a try either way, and needless to say, this is the worst matcha I have ever tired, no exaggeration. The milk is completely overpowering and almost with a spoiled-like taste. As well as an extremely grassy matcha lacking any other notes. I unfortunately took two sips and had to throw it away, because it was impossible for me to drink it without gagging. Additionally, the barista did not seem the friendliest either, but thats beside the point. read more

Very cute coffee trendy spot. There is indoor seating, no outdoor seating and limited parking. They had a great menu with a variety of options. I had to try the PB Cookie Espresso, and it didn't disappoint although I'd do less espresso just cause I love the taste of peanut butter. They also have homemade almond milk! I also had one of the butter dough balls, it was $3.50 for one small ball... I wouldn't get it again. That being said, they do have food and pastries! (Most were gone and I got there at 10am) They also have a running club on Thursday nights! And they serve coffee at the end of the run. Super cool if you're from the area :) read more

Solid coffee spot and my favorite in all of Costa Mesa. Incredible service as you're greeted as soon as you walk in. They're fairly quick with getting your drink done. The pastry options are immaculate: the quality of coffee is definitely specialty, baristas know what they're doing and also knowledgeable on the coffee itself. Everything you're looking for in a coffee shop. 10/10 new fav in Costa Mesa and surrounding areas. Pleasant crowd and music playing, sweet spot to get work done (: read more
