    FLAME LATTE
    Kelly H.

    I stopped by this coffee shop and tried the Flame Latte--it was so good! The salted cream topping was perfect: not too creamy and not too sweet. Everything was well balanced, and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back for another one or try their Tiramisu one!

    Stopped by the grand opening last week which was a success! This spot offers a variety of coffee, matcha, and unique lattes along with pastries. Service was great and drinks came out super fast! I do wish that the pastries could be warmed up as an option. I tried the Dubai Chocolate cookie which was a little bit on the dry side. It was tasty, but not soft and more firm. Loved the black sesame latte and pistachio latte. The ambiance and aesthetic was chic and would be a great spot to work remotely or stop by for a coffee date. Seats are limited. Would definitely come back to try other lattes.

    Pistachio Latte

    Menu has been revamped! I like how the Pistachio Latte is not too sweet, but the pistachio flavor got a little lost once it met the coffee. Would love a bit more nutty punch to really make it shine. Staff are warm and smiley, happily offer recommendations, and quickly make drinks. The interior is aesthetic with lots of guests studying. Looks like a promising refresh for the cafe ~ I just need that pistachio to speak up :)

    Came here randomly for a quick coffee break. They have a good amount of indoor seating but it was all packed for a Saturday late afternoon. We got the black sesame latte and the einspanner latte. The black sesame was very plain and light in flavor. It didn't have a strong black sesame flavor and tasted more milky. The einspanner was good, very strong matcha taste and very creamy. I would get the matcha again but probably not the black sesame.

    First look, the entrance and walking in had nice vibes and the design is aesthetically pleasing and I feel it would be a nice place to enjoy reading a book or chilling with friends. Aesthetic Design & Vibes: 5/5 Service was good, friendly cashier and quick to double check and answer questions. Service: 5/5 I ordered the strawberry matcha, Dubai cookie and banana bread. Strawberry Matcha: 3/5, if you prefer a sweet strawberry matcha this won't be the drink for you. I think the syrup of the strawberry is tangy and if that is your style of matcha then it would work out. Dubai cookie: 5/5 I never had a Dubai Cookie, so I can't compare to other ones, but it's tastes good to me, it's not dry, has a smooth chocolate taste, and I do enjoy the crunch inside. Banana bread: 3.5/5, is on the drier side of banana bread. It doesn't taste bad, just not the best I had.

    Cute cafe in the Costa Mesa/Newport Beach area. Their drinks are so pretty but I think missed the mark on flavor and intensity. I think it's a good place to lock in on your studies and work though. 4 outlets and strong WiFi. Spacious and not too crowded even on a weekend. Many small tables, both inside and outside. I got the strawberry pistachio matcha and my friends got the double matcha and banana hojicha. My drink was a good blend of flavors but still milk forward. The double matcha only had a whisper of matcha but I guess you can say it was refreshing. The hojicha was smooth and the banana cream was nice. I have a feeling their coffees would be better tho. I had high hopes for the flavor since they took a good minute to make our drinks but it seems like today it's more aesthetic than memorable. Parking: for a weekend, too small of a lot for the many businesses in the plaza, busy brunch place next door. Perhaps a weekday would be better

    Beautiful interior. It's what the kids these days would consider aesthetic. I got the Banana Hojicha and the Flame Coffee. I did not know that the Hojicha was green tea so I'm letting you dear customer know. The Banana Hojicha was very plain it just felt like I was drinking banana milk (2/10). The flame coffee was better (5/10) and it tasted a lot of brown sugar. I think I am much more disappointed because it was a longer drive for us. Service was quick because there was no line when we got there around 11 am. Again, maybe I didn't try the right things. Price $7.25- $8 per drink

    The Moon Coffee is located in Costa Mesa, next to Fleur de Lys, and in the same plaza as Plums and my favorite Sushi Shunka. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The interior looks very bright and modern. There were a lot of students studying here. They have a kiosk for self ordering. At the time of my visit there was no line so I just ordered with the cashier. I ordered the Black Sesame Latte ($7.50) because it was on the top of the list of their Signature Drinks and also because I enjoy black sesame and was excited to see it on the menu. The drink was made quickly and was presented on the counter a bit pretentiously without the lid. The issue is that they overfilled the cup, which means any attempt I make to put on a lid will make it spill along the edge. Also for the price, the size of the drink is incredible small. I enjoyed the taste of the drink but I was left unsatisfied with such a small cup. I might swing by if I'm already at Sushi Shunka and I need some caffeine to work off the food coma, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    I've only been here twice, once around their grand opening and a second time after they revamped their menu & interior. I've tried their matcha, coffee, pastries and honestly it's just ok, nothing memorable. Their double matcha was pretty disappointing tbh...lacked matcha flavor and too much oat milk so it tasted like vanilla. Their strawberry matcha was a bit better though with fresh strawberry puree! And their sea salt mocha reminded me of starbucks chocolate frappe which my friend really liked! Clean girl aesthetic and work-friendly vibes with ample seating, several outlets, and minimal crowds on a weekday. Beware that they blast the music on speaker so you can feel the vibrations under the seats lol but it didn't really bother me.

    Came here Saturday afternoon. The place is cute, cozy with plenty of seating. We got the below Latte - a perfectly made latte, please don't change a thing black sesame latte - so unexpectedly good, not too sweet, would get again. tiramisu latte - great tiramisu flavor, started off really good but did get really sweet later matcha einspanner - another surprisingly yummy well made drink strawberry matcha - least favorite but still actually a good drink. dubai chocolate cookie - not to sweet, very yummy filling. The outer cookie could use a little more of a chocolate taste. Service was friendly and I could tell each drink was carefully and thoughtfully made to perfection. I can't wait to come back for the lattes. I am still thinking about them.

    Matcha latte with black sesame top Pink coconut matcha

    Thé Moon is a unique and good looking cafe to take some time and study in. It has a more elevated atmosphere to it and a decent amount of indoor seating. The menu itself has a good amount of options in different categories, such as milk teas, matcha, and more. They currently have a build your own drink too, which lets you pick your own base and top which I find pretty nice to have as a more customizable option! I went with a BYD and chose a matcha latte as my base and black sesame cream top, and my girlfriend got the pink coconut matcha. In my opinion, the matcha latte itself was a little underwhelming, and it is limited to 12 ounces for about $8 which is a bit small. The pink coconut matcha in comparison was pretty good though! It's just, also small. Taste profile wise though I'd definitely say both are there, and the pink coconut was just a bit better.

    what a pretty and spacious cafe! needed my iced coffee after spin.. the moon coffee to the rescue. ordered: flame latte black sesame latte build your own : cold brew with einspanner top the iced flame latte was my favorite. i wasnt ready for all the brown sugar but it was so so good!!! def on the sweet side. service was great. theres also a kiosk avail inside for ordering. parking: large lot. no issues.

    Cute cafe with a modern aesthetic. Love the Jellycat theme going on. The workers are awfully awkward and don't have the nicest demeanor. Food and drink are very meh. The drink is very light in flavor. But also there's a lot of cafe everywhere so it's hard to compete.

When you enter, the location is huge! Tons of tables and seating. Nice! People are working, hanging out, and enjoying their food and drinks. I ordered a churro latte half sweet and a deluxe avocado toast. The latte was delicious. Sweetness level was just right for me. I don't like super sweet drinks. The avocado toast was also great. There was so much flavor from the egg and bacon and seasonings. It was a little hard to eat out of the to go container, but I made it work. It could easily be shared depending how hungry you are. I love that I didn't feel rushed here. It seems they expect people to come and hang out for awhile. Can't wait to return! I'm eyeing the biscuit and a matcha next time.

The front parking is supposed to be "20 mins only" and then if those 6 spots are full then you have to park in the parking garage across the street. Make sure to get it validated!!

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!

After it took quite a while for my order to come out, a staff member finally came outside to inform me that they had actually run out of yuzu. It felt a little disorganized and off that it took so long just to realize they were out of an ingredient. Despite the awkward ordering delay, the overall environment is excellent. It's a great, clean space to be productive, and I'd definitely give it another chance.

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.

I've literally tried 3 separate times and been told they simply ran out of tomatoes. If it's that inconsistent, I'd hope they'd take it off their menu and post it as a special. But what bothers me the most is that the service is so nonchalant that it comes off as rude. No greeting, smile, positive energy.. giving off a vibe that they'd rather be anywhere else than behind the coffee bar. Sad to see the experience decline as it's been a favorite of mine and somewhere i always have hyped up to friends. Hopefully things pick up.
