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

Peanut butter latte? Sign me up! I love peanut butter anything, so when I saw that this coffee shop offered a PB latte, I headed down there to check it out. I spend a lot of time in Costa Mesa, so I'm always looking for independent coffee shops to satisfy my 1-2 latte a day habit. And CM is certainly not short of them! Neat is a neighborhood coffee shop located right off of 19th Street & Pomona. They have their own small building, meaning that they're not in a shopping plaza, so they have dedicated parking spaces for their customers. Upon entering I noticed that there were a lot of students in there studying and hanging out. This truly is a neighborhood coffee shop. It's set up in an L shape, with quite a few tables available for customers. The barista was super friendly, took my order and whipped out my PB latte in no time! The latte was good but it didn't have as much PB taste as I expected it to have. They also have other creative coffee concoctions and a few pastry and food items as well. They even have pop up events throughout the month. I would definitely return to this quaint and cozy coffee shop! read more

This coffee spot consistently nails the experience! Great drinks, amazing sweet bite offerings, kombucha, wine for those who drink, community engagement and events, ton of parking, awesome indoor and outdoor seating areas... there isn't anything this place hasn't thought of. Staff is knowledgeable and kind, energy is perfect, and drinks and food are prepared promptly. They even offer a discount if you bring your own cup which I appreciate very much. Can't say enough about this awesome spot! Thankfully, I work very close, so I stop by a couple of times a week. Hidden gem in Westside Costa Mesa! read more

It's a coffeehouse tucked away at the back of a parking lot. If you blink, you might miss it. There are some parking spots in the lot and there is also street parking close by. The interior is very modern looking and lots of folks obviously use the space for studying. The interior design is nice. There was nothing wrong with my iced Americano except it was probably the smallest sized coffee I've ever received (outside of an espresso shot). At $4, I'd say the value of my drink was a little questionable. They offer food, too, including baked goods and avocado toast, etc. I didn't try anything but what I saw looked good. Friendly employees and overall, a comfortable spot. read more

The place had a diner vibe and was cute but parking is difficult and the drinks were terrible. We tried their secret menu item, the iced cinnamon bun latte, and it lacked flavor. The cappuccino was also bland. read more

Neat Coffee - seating - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

At first, maps sent me in the wrong way, and i couldn't find it. Glad i did. Parking lot is small but in the afternoon on a weekday it was fairly empty. There was only 1 person ahead of me in line and only 1 person working who was working cashier and making drinks. She was so sweet! I ordered the Neat One iced and she made it perfect! Absolutely no complaints. I also ordered one of their cinnamon rolls, happy to find out it is GF. It was phenomenal - reminds me of the raw cinammon roll from Erewhon. Dense, soft, sweet and cinnamony, and just delicious. I declare this the greatest cinammon roll ever. I would go back just for that, literally. There was a bit of seating inside and luckily it wasn't busy when I went so I was able to sit down. I noticed there was also a bit of seating outside. I would definitely go again - the vibes were on point. read more

Neat Coffee - Cinnamon Roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My favorite coffee shop in the OC. They make everything in house from the chai to the syrups and the service is always great. They offer tasty treats and have gluten free options, too. The shop itself is modern and simple. Always people working on their laptops. I'm a big fan of their peanut butter cookie latte. Neat is a must if you're really into crafted coffee. Curly headed dude is the best! read more

2/22/23 JUNIPER ROSE LATTE This was a special menu item. It was a very subtle flavor. At first sip, I tasted a bit of smokiness, then a little bit of the herbaceous juniper. Nothing was overwhelming. The coffee and the juniper rose flavor was well-balanced. Got whole milk, which made it creamy too. It was delicious and well-made! VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE CINNAMON ROLL A small dessert, a little bit bigger than the energy balls. There is variety of nuts and dates in it. The nuts and dates were ground up together and it created this creaminess to this vegan dessert. There was lots of cinnamon and sugar flavor that created this real cinnamon roll flavor. Then there was a vegan version of frosting for the cinnamon roll - it tasted so good! I was so busy eating it that I forgot to take a picture of what it looks like inside! I would get this vegan dessert again in a heartbeat! So delish! CUSTOMER SERVICE / AMBIANCE The barista was very chill and friendly. The coffee shop had a very relaxing vibe. Lots of bar seats and a few smaller tables for 2 or 4 people. It was quiet enough for people to come in for studying or working on their laptop. PARKING / LOCATION Located inside a small neighborhood. As soon as you turn into Pomona Ave, it will be the first or second building. There is parking lot for Neat Coffee, so pull in as soon as you see the sign. But parking spaces are limited. You can street park, but I did not see a lot of available spaces. read more

Great coffee and matcha! Barista was genuinely friendly which always makes all the difference. Cozy neighborhood spot. The only thing that I think could have been better was the matcha was a little less concentrated than I would have liked considering the price was 7.50, the flavor of the matcha got lost in this particular drink. read more

LOVE the furniture, but that's about it! every time I come here, i end up waiting for someone to come out and help me. it's been like that during my last few visits, and the customer service is just alright. i've also tried the matcha several times, and it's probably the worst i've ever had. parking is also super tough. i've given this place multiple chances, but it's been consistently disappointing :( read more

Friendly baristas! Cute corner of westside, bring a friend on the weekends and relax.

Cute little coffee shop with great coffee. They have cute wines and other items for sale in the shop. Also have a small case of pastries. Good spot for the coffee lovers. If you're looking for flavored coffees probably not the spot for that. read more

Nice little neighborhood coffee shop near the DMV with a tiny parking lot. From the outside, it seems questionable at first, but upon entering, it's just like any other cute hipster coffee shop (in a good way!). The baristas are really nice, and the interior design is cute. The wait wasn't very long. There are some tables and bar seating. I got Baker Street off the specials menu. It was decent, but I wished I could taste more honey. There were a few other drinks that caught my eye, so I hope to come back to try other drinks! Also, if you tell the barista you walked or biked here, you get 10% off your order! read more

Very solid coffee shop! There's plenty of seating indoor and outdoor! You can chat here, hang out or just work if you wanted to. For the coffee, I ordered their special "the neat one" which has expresso, milk and their seasonal house made syrup. The flavor was delicious and just a quality cup of coffee. I tried the pan con tomate, which was the bread with tomato. I know it sounds simple but the tomato spread had hint flavors of garlic and olive oil. It was unlike anything I've had ever had before and I loved it!! They have a mini parking lot and then street parking. Highly recommend! read more

Best cafe in OC. Avo toast is top notch. Try the jasmine lime iced tea or matcha. Nice place to get a little work done inside or out.

Poor service. Two baristas stood around, chit-chatting, and didn't take orders in a timely manner. I understand that they might have important topics that they needed to discuss urgently. If so, asking customers to wait is a courteous thing to do; especially when they ask for 15%+ tips. Customers are looking to grab a cup of coffee quickly in the morning, prompt service is appreciated. read more

Neat Coffee is one of my favorite spots in Costa Mesa. The jasmine lime iced tea is so refreshing, and the pan con tomate hits every time. The space is bright and welcoming, whether you're stopping in to work or just hang out. They're also dog friendly and really connected to the local community, which I love. Good vibes, kind people, and amazing drinks. read more

We stopped in shortly after they opened, and the barista was awesome! He had great energy, was really engaged with customers, and efficiently took orders and barred. Good vibes all around from the music to the aesthetic of the shop. We got the shakerato and an iced matcha with vanilla. The shakerato was such a balanced drink. Just the right amount of sweet-salty combined with the smooth espresso. The matcha was great as well, and the vanilla just helped make the drink that much better. Short, but great experience here at Neat. Highly recommend stopping by for the good customer service and great coffee. read more

Neat coffee was cute. The design was aesthetically appealing with all the neutral colors. Upon arriving, just know that parking is tight. Small parking lot. Entering the coffee shop: it was cute, but nothing really stood out. I was really craving a pastry but none on the display really looked yummy. Passed on that. For $7, I had a vanilla oat milk latte and it was okaaaayyy. Nothing spectacular. I do have to give out a shoutout to our barista because he was awesome to talk to. read more

3.5 stars! a quaint coffee shop in costa mesa with cute decor and a fair amount of inside seating! they have their own parking lot but it's quite small so parking may be an issue. staff was friendly! i ordered a morning bun and a neat house latte with their seasonal syrup which was salted caramel. the pastry was good but i was let down by the latte since i could not taste the salted caramel at all :( read more

Came here on a Saturday right before closing. The barista was so nice and smiley. Even know it was minutes before closing, the barista made us feel like time was not an issue. Coffee wise, I had the one with turmeric. It was okay, nothing particularly special about it. I would come back to try other flavors. The interior is extremely nicely decorated. read more

I like going to great coffee shops that are slightly off the beaten path and embedded in neighborhoods. If not for Yelp and Google directions I doubt I'd ever have found NEAT tucked away and recessed like it is. Parking was almost a challenge, the small lot was full but luckily a street spot was available close by. Walking in we took in the quaint anesthetics and chill atmosphere, and also had to make a quick decision on where to sit and plug in a computer. I approve of the option to get wine by the glass here, a proper European style café! However, it was caffeine we desired and lattes are what we ordered. Special drinks and food options are printed on cardstock mounted on small clipboards. I noticed they make their own almond milk but selected oat milk for the Peanut Butter Cookie Latte and it was a perfect match. Foamy and compatible with the cookie flavor, a great concoction. Her Juniper-Rose Latte was equally brilliant and the strong flavors stood out without overwhelming the ensemble. How unlike so many other shops whose drinks barely taste like what's promised. Sitting at the low-bar area was fun, the perfect height to splay out the graphic novel I brought along and before we left I had a nice but brief conversation with my neighbor on the right. The music was another highlight and I liked the overall vibe of the patrons and employees alike. Too bad this isn't located closer to home but perhaps I'll hang here more often down the road? Next time I'll probably sample the food menu or get a snack. They roast coffee on premises so perhaps I'll buy a bag when my current supply at home dwindles. All-in-all, I love this place! read more

The atmosphere was extremely open and cute. However, it was extremely frigid inside the shop itself. It was difficult to tell if it was colder outside or inside. The service we got was excellent, but we did get there pretty close to opening. we ordered two of the breakfast burritos, this is something that I would not get again it was a little bit more on the dry side. The espresso in the latte was good. However, the flavor of the syrup was all the way at the bottom so my last drink was extremely sweet. I think they may have a little bit of more expensive prices for their coffee, but I will say the overall extract was pretty good. I can't say that I will go back. read more

I stopped here on a rare chilly Southern California morning to find a line out the door. There was one friendly employee at the counter, simultaneously working the register and acting as barista. Another employee was in the back making breakfast food. It took about 10 minutes before I made it to the front of the line to give my order: a hot vanilla latte and a donut. I actually had my eye on their last remaining cinnamon roll but the customer in front of me snagged it so I opted for a vanilla frosted donut with sprinkles. The interior is minimalist but cute and welcoming with several tables and chairs at counters. I had to laugh because on this cold day with customers at tables wearing ski vests, flannel shirts, and stocking caps (an old-guy term for beanies) I felt like I'd entered a time machine to early 1990s Seattle. My vanilla latte tasted like a regular latte, no trace of vanilla or sweetness. In fact the coffee was so light it had little taste. I'm not joking when I say for a minute I thought maybe I had contracted covid and had lost my sense of taste. The donut was dense and moist and not overly sweet as the vanilla glaze was thin. A decent donut but nothing special. I like the vibe of this place but that's about it. read more

Not my cup of coffee, let me tell you in this economy a cup of coffee is double what it used to be so it says a lot when right after my husband and I took a sip of their lattes it was so bad we couldn't even finish. End up tossing it away and went somewhere else to waste off the bitter taste of those drinks. read more

Sweet coffee shop hidden away in Costa Mesa. it took me a while to find with Google Maps but the address is correct. The parking lot is really small though so I recommend parking across the street with the Laundromat. You could try neighborhood parking as well. I love visiting here with my dog! They have great, rich coffee. The staff is super friendly and considerate as well. They also have great food items. This is a great place to spend a morning relaxing or working on school stuff. They're really friendly to dogs and my dogs love coming to meet the other dogs as well. They also have an outdoor dining area if you want to relax outside too. read more
