Zesty Bestie
Arcadia W.

I've been into tonic espresso lately, and when I saw tonic Matcha on the menu, I definitely wanted to try. I've been campaigning all around OC trying to find my new go-to coffee shop and this place ranks easily in my top three. I started with the zesty Bestie, which was a delicious blend of quality Matcha tonic and other ingredients that made it a perfect balance. I also got a breakfast burrito with just egg and cheese, which was phenomenal. The only thing that is a pain point is how busy they are. Even with me placing my order 20 minutes through DoorDash when I got there I still had to wait about 15 minutes for my order to be ready. Other than that, it's a pretty solid place that will definitely be one of preferred places since it's close to me.

It hurts to give this place a one star because it has been on my list for awhile and I had heard good things about it. When I was reading the reviews, people were raving about the salted Caramel matcha so I got that. When I saw the color, I was worried and when I tasted it, my worry was confirmed. It didn't taste like matcha at all. I got some hints of caramel but it tasted watered down more than anything. I was disappointed just because people were raving about it, but I've had better matcha in OC. My boyfriend got the iced salted caramel latte and he said it was okay, nothing special. He didn't end up finishing it. I paid $16 for both with tip and for us to not like it and lack quality, it was unfortunate. We want to come back to try the burrito which people rave about too but we are unsure right now if we want to come back

Salted caramel latte with matcha
Cindy N.

Wow, this spot was busy on a weekend! I can see that this a local favorite. I ordered the salted caramel latte with matcha and it was SO yummy and sweet! I'd love to try their other matcha drinks. It's a cute spot but pretty small and not a ton of seating. I'll come back on a weekday to try their other drinks. Thank you NUDAE!

Nudae is located in a small strip mall with plenty of parking, near a quiet residential neighborhood and a hop, skip and a jump away from the beach. I swung by at 6:35am and there were already some regulars and people waiting for their drinks. Speaks a lot to how loved Nudae is! About 5 tables for seating and 2 benches and a fridge for oatmeal and other treats. I got the seasonal spring menu drink, Pistach-Me-Outside and it was really lovely and creamy! Got my friend one of the caramel lattes and she loved it as well. I love this location for its proximity to the beach or just a quiet morning stop.

Chicken Cesar Wrap
Sandra L.

1. Don't come here for matcha (there's a million other better options in OC) this was my least favorite. They pre-mix their matcha in advance, so it is in a squeeze bottle. Matcha and the milk begin to separate after 20 - 30 seconds of just sitting there. I do like that they make their almond milk from scratch, that's cool. 2. Chicken Cesar wrap is good / dec. Nice grill marks on the tortilla, tastes like they actually season the chicken, just still feels like it is lacking something, not sure what. Side note: Would love it if they could offer a 2 oz side of Cesar dressing, especially if you're just buying one wrap. Charging almost $4 for a side of sauce because it is in a 4oz container is a little absurd to me. No one needs that much sauce for one wrap. No problem with paying for a side of sauce just consider providing the smaller option so it's not a complete waste. The dressing is good, I will give them credit for that. 3. Staff seem really chill and nice, it is also a chill place to get some work done.

Ferrero Roche (hazelnut) and seasonal black sesame drink. Both meh
Anna T.

We were in the neighborhood for our auto tint and wanted coffee. This has been on my list for quite some time and decided to head here for coffee and somewhere else for breakfast. They do serve food here tho! They had a special seasonal menu and we ordered it from there. I had to get their infamous ferrero rocher and it definitely tasted like a ferrero rocher hazelnut drink. The other one was a black sesame drink that tasted like what it sounded. Both were pretty mid for me. Very.... How do I put this.. American coffee. Interesting flavors but nothing wow about it. Bland and meh imo. Pretty popping spot tho. Lots of people already at the shop early in the morning. Parking lot was decent size. Only a few parking spots right in front but lot is decent.

Amanda N.

got the puka pandan (pandan matcha) and a chicken caesar wrap. the matcha tasted great. the wrap was balanced. i would definitely add bacon next time though. it was quick and there was plenty of seating on a monday around 2pm. i could see the parking being hard to find during busier times.

hot Salted Caramel Latte
Risha S.

This small cafe is charming and has amazing service. It was quite packed in there so we didn't stay for long, but I would love to try coming earlier and see how easy it is to get a table. I was excited to see several vegan drinks on the menu AND no upcharge on oat milk! I got a hot salted caramel latte, which was a bit small but tasted great. The drink had a pretty strong coffee flavor and the cutest latte art. My friend also got their Cesar wrap that she absolutely loved. The lady taking my order was also extremely nice and even corrected another worker on how to pronounce my name when they called it for my drink!

ferrero rocher
Tracy N.

Small coffee shop with plenty of parking out front. There are an ok amount of seats but I wouldn't say it's particularly big. Chill place to hang out though. My friends and I sat here to play cards for a bit. I thought my drink was ok but overall good experience Ferrero rocher: 3/5. Writing this review kinda late, this was a seasonal drink. Very very hazelnut-y

Winter Menu (December 2025)
Airi G.

This is honestly the best black sesame latte I've ever had. It's the only thing I ordered here, so I can't comment on anything else, but I would drive an hour just to have it again. I didn't get it with the cream top, so it was just the syrup that made the drink nutty and perfectly not too sweet. I ordered the small size which was just enough for me. The interior is very cute and cozy, with some tables along the wall for seating. They also have merch and beans available for purchase if you want a memento of your visit. The staff was nice too and gave us her suggestions when we were ordering.

Spicy Cucumber Avocado Toast
Heather D.

I stumbled across this coffee shop when looking for coffee in the Costa Mesa area, and WOW! For drinks, we had the Choco Chai which was not a standard chai drink. It was more chocolate based but very well balanced. We also had an iced latte with the honey lavender syrup. For food, we shared the Spicy Cucumber Avocado Toast and this was SO good!! I can't recommend this enough! I would definitely order this again but one just for myself rather than sharing. It didn't taste too spicy, but the furikake and the chili crunch flavors all blended so well together. There were a handful of tables if you were sitting and enjoying your coffee with a friend.

MENU - January 2026
Sarah C.

1/8/2026 Matcha Latte - 50% sweetness with honey and almond milk You can adjust the sweetness to 50% or 75%. Good flavor. Light grass flavor, sweet at the end. No bitterness. Clean flavor overall. I would order it again. This was enjoyable and great to order for those on a clean, health fast in January. Customer Service - There were three baristas working. It wasn't super busy, but the baristas were all making drinks. It took awhile for someone to get to the register. They could have looked over and asked me to wait a little bit while they make their drinks, but straight up ignored me. I stood there for 5 minutes feeling super awkward, wondering if I should leave. Parking - Strip mall shared with other businesses including Fermentation Farm. The parking is medium-sized, yet not a lot of parking spaces, ironically. I didn't have a problem with parking, although I came here past 2:30pm. Ambiance - Nothing special, but there were a few tables and seats to just relax and enjoy your drink. Overall clean too. Not sure if they give free Wifi. Did not see anyone with laptops, only those who came with their friends.

Strawberry Matcha
Tristen S.

The drinks never miss here! Strong coffee and flavorful, creamy matcha. Def a go to spot in Costa Mesa! Their breakfast burritos are good too. Staff have always been friendly. There are a few tables inside and outside, but it's a relatively small place. There's a lot of parking in the plaza too.

Excellent breakfast spot in Costa Mesa…read more We stopped by this morning around 9:45 am - parking was tight but we found a spot, and there was a 30 minute wait so we sat on the patio and ordered our food and drinks. My matcha latte was excellent, and the Hot Chick Benedict (a new addition to the menu) was tasty and filling. My friends enjoyed their food too. Bill for 5 people (before tax and tip) was $110. Happy to return.

What I Love: * Unique Flavors: The food tastes great and they have some really unique touches. I love that they serve raspberry jam with their toast--it's a nice change from the standard grape or strawberry. * Homemade Quality: It's really cool that they do their own house-made potatoes and even their own homemade ketchup. You can tell they put effort into the details. The Drawbacks: * Pricing & Fees: I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could, but I'm sticking with 4 because it's definitely on the pricey side. What really bugs me is seeing a mandatory tip/service charge for certain group sizes on the receipt. Between the expensive menu and the fact that they are constantly busy with plenty of business, it feels like price gouging. * Parking: The parking lot is very small, so be prepared for a bit of a struggle to find a spot, especially since they are always packed. Final Thoughts: The food and unique house-made items keep me coming back, but be prepared for a high bill and a tight parking situation.

Was visiting Newport Beach and saw the strong reviews for Bayshore Lounge, so we decided to stop by…read morefor dinner. The reviews were definitely accurate. We ordered the combo kabob plate, the Bayshore pizza, and finished with baklava. The combo plate was much larger in person than expected and could easily feed two people, but we were hungry and wanted to try the pizza as well. The meats were seasoned very well and extremely juicy. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the beef kabob was soft enough to almost melt in your mouth. The Bayshore pizza was more of a pan-style pizza with a unique cheese blend instead of traditional mozzarella. Make sure to ask for the pizza dip too, it has a tangy flavor that pairs really well with it. The warm baklava filled with pistachios was a great dessert to finish the meal. Service was friendly throughout the visit, and I appreciated that the restaurant cooks without seed oils because the meal did not feel overly heavy afterward. The interior is upscale and cozy with fresh flowers on each table, and the atmosphere feels great for both casual dinners and events. They also offer catering and private parties, which made me consider coming back for a graduation event in the future. The kabobs are definitely the highlight and are worth trying.

Absolutely delicious--hands down some of the best kabobs I've had in a long time. The chicken kabob…read morewas incredibly tender and packed with flavor, basted in a butter glaze that elevates the standard grilled chicken. It's clearly marinated with care and grilled to juicy perfection. Every bite was moist, aromatic, and beautifully seasoned all the way through. The beef kabob was just as impressive--rich, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender with that perfect char from the grill. You could really taste the quality of the meat and the balance of spices without anything being overpowering. The saffron rice was fluffy and aromatic. It also comes with a mixed salad. Not the usual balsamic dressing but a creamy herb infused dressing coating every leaf. Together, these kabobs were a knockout: bold flavors, perfect texture, and cooked exactly right. If you're looking for kabobs that are juicy, flavorful, and truly satisfying, this is the place. I'd come back for these alone. I forgot to mention they are dog friendly on the patio. DJ music on Saturday nights and fire tables with couches.

And it came from a breakfast joint, which is super rare in and of itself. Having lived in Southern California for many many years, I thought I had seen and experienced just about everything in the way of good places to eat. As I was driving around looking for some breakfast, I stumbled across oeb breakfast. And I am so glad I did. For starters, when you walk through the door, the place is bright and Cherry and has just the right amount of whimsy. It's neatly laid out and everything is in full view. It only took a moment my server to come get me at the front and direct me to a table. Let's talk about the service. Having been in the food service industry, I know what it takes to have a great dining experience. Caesar, who was my waiter, took care of me in a level that I have not seen in a very long time. Personable, gracious, accommodating, and helpful are just a few of the words I would use to describe my experience being served by him. I asked for coffee and water and within moments it arrived on my table. Side note, the coffee is off the chain! It is a brand called Umbria and it is amazing. After scanning the menu, I opted for the beef bulldogi Benedict with the beef Tallow fries. I asked for the fries extra crispy, and ask for my milk to be served with breakfast. If you've read any of my Yelp reviews on breakfast places, you know that that is one of my litmus tests for the accuracy of the order. If I have to ask for my milk after the meal's been delivered, they're not doing their job. Not that I'm picky, for me. It is just a way to determine how good of a listener the server actually is. It didn't take long at all for the food to be delivered. The presentation was absolutely amazing, as we eat with our eyes. First, I have to say that the way the food was plated was definitely a work of art. Once the food was dropped off half of me was going. I wonder if they will remember... And before I could finish my thought Caesar showed back up with the milk. Home run! The food itself was absolutely wonderful, I cannot remember when I have enjoyed a breakfast as much as this one. All the flavors were there, it was perfectly balanced, and was just a pleasant dining experience overall. Bragging on Caesar again, as I was sitting there, the restaurant started to get very busy, he handled himself with such Grace and poise and didn't let the mounting tension frazzle him. Again, I wish this place was in my hometown so I could come here more often, but you can bet that I will be back here multiple times. Bottom line? There aren't many places that I would tell friends they definitely absolutely had to go to. But oeb breakfast is now on the top of the list for me to recommend to my friends.

A little weird to have 2 pieces of spinach as a garnish. Never seen that before. Potatoes were really good. Can't go wrong with those. Short Rib bowl: 8/10 everything in that bowl were amazing together. Banana Cream Pie French Toast: 4/10 this was a miss for me. Nothing amazing about it. The custard part was off for me. Maybe if it was more of a banana pudding, it would be better with the cream. Didn't really taste like a banana cream pie. Green Machine: 10/10!
