    Green Tea Crme Frappuccino Blended Crme (TikTok: @justandyvu)

    1. The drink tasted just as delicious as the ones made at other Starbucks! 2. The spot has fun productive vibes with a significant amount of seatings (inside and outside)! 3. The staff were friendly and quick with my order! Note: There is a small parking lot with a time limit of 1 hr! Photo: Green Tea Crme Frappuccino Blended Crme

    Great service even on a busy morning they had a local MS event that was next door to them. All the local PD was there and more customers so I was super happy that my London fog came out with great flavor and not watered down! They had the mobile order ready pretty soon there after arriving but it usually does take a little longer for steeping for the tea and the lavender cold foam. When they make it right though I must admit it sets me up for the perfect day!!! Overall this store is great and pretty spacious I would totally recommend this location.

    I've been at this Starbucks location handful of times. I got some early mornings here in Costa Mesa and this is where I've gone to get my Starbucks. The parking lot situation can be a little bit confusing because there's different driveways. The plaza has a separate parking entrance than the big corporate office parking. So it can be a little confusing. Overall, with all the hotels and different office buildings in the area, it does get fairly busy. I was able to place a mobile order to be able to not necessarily have to wait in line. It seems like a lot of people own weren't using the mobile ordering and opting to wait in line. Everything was what I expected it to be here at this store. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. The staff was very friendly and the drinks were great. Be sure to download the Starbucks app to accumulate Stars and to be able to place mobile orders.

    Was in need of my daily dose of coffee. My order was taken by Andrew. Excellent customer service by him and the entire staff. Everyone is very nice and friendly. Highly recommend this location.

    Never been disappointed here. All the baristas are nice, and no matter the time or the day, they are always smiling and making the best possible coffee for you. I recommend to order ahead with the app. Gets pretty busy in this location.

    Interesting stuff here...gourmet  chewing gum?!

    Happy to have a Starbucks walking distance from home. The staff is just as friendly, if not friendlier than other locations. The batista even remembered my name and my order after only a few visits! There is a nice patio that we usually use since it can get stuffy inside. The patio is supposed to be smoke free but sometimes there is a smoker. Note to them: please stop, the smoke spreads, sitting one table away from someone doesn't make you in the clear. For a small Starbucks, it is very crowded due to all the hotels which are also in walking distance, so expect a line, especially during peak morning hours, both on weekends and weekdays. It's in a nice plaza as well so if you like to enjoy a coffee right after lunch you are in luck!

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

If you do visit, I recommend opting for their strawberry matcha, lavender matcha, or any specialty drink other than a basic latte to add some flavor. The syrups are what makes the drinks tasteful while the matcha or coffee base are lacking. Overall, nook coffee isn't the worst but it's also not a place you should go out of your way for.

It looks like the only cinnamon flavoring came from the sprinkled cinnamon on top of the drink. The Eggs Benedict were also okay. Nothing special with the sauce. The dish also does not come with any sides. Overall, I do not think I will come back here again any time soon. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but the food and parking situation was disappointing for me. There was also a huge wait time to receive your food.

Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

But the Mint Mojito Coffee is in a completely different league. It's unlike anything I've ever had. If there were a Philz Coffee closer to my house, I would honestly buy it every single day. It's easily one of my all-time favorite coffees. The Philz Coffee across from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa can get pretty busy, so parking isn't always easy during peak hours. Luckily, you can order ahead on the mobile app and simply pick it up. My favorite part is taking that very first sip while it's freshly handcrafted before putting the lid back on. That first taste always makes me happy. The friend I brought with me ignored my recommendation and ordered a cold brew instead. After a few minutes, I convinced them to try just one sip of my Mint Mojito Coffee... and that was the last sip I got. They loved it so much that they practically claimed the rest of my drink. The staff are friendly, and while there isn't a lot of indoor seating if you're planning to work on your laptop, there is a nice patio where you can sit and relax. It's a great spot to catch up with friends over an amazing cup of coffee. If you're visiting Philz for the first time, do yourself a favor and order the Mint Mojito Coffee. You can thank me later.

Phil Jaber founded Philz Coffee in 2003 and spent years experimenting with various coffee beans from around the world to create over 30 different unique blends. Each "cup of love" is custom made in front of you and finished off with their signature mint leave. The Philz baristas make sure your drink is to your liking before you pay. One thing that is unique about Phiz is that they don't do lattes or cappuccinos. The Mint Mojito Iced Coffee is their best seller and still my personal favorite. I ended grabbing one and a bag of coffee beans before hitting the road to my next destination.
