    Clean and aesthetic coffee. The coffee flavor is amazing , you can tell they use high-quality ingredients! I don't usually compliment a coffee shop on its interior, but the decor and ambiance here are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. It's definitely a place I'd come back to. The scent inside is like you're in a luxury hotel lol, feels clean and nice. Ideal place for studying and having work done.

    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.

    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.

    The tiramisu latte was perfect! Not too sweet. Kind staff and cute decor. Will be back soooon

    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.

    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!

    Matcha latte with black sesame top Pink coconut matcha
    Ky-Anh H.

    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.

As a pug mom myself, I couldn't help but smile at all the adorable ways Frenchies were incorporated within the shop's atmosphere. The service was really incredible.

I ordered the "Salted Vietnamese Coffee" and am so happy I did. The actual drink itself is one of the most delicious, creamy, flavorful Vietnamese coffees I've ever had. I highly recommend trying this drink out if you're on a hunt for a good Vietnamese coffee in the Costa Mesa and Newport area. Parking lot is located behind the shop. It's quite small, but I had no problem finding a space. Will definitely be visiting again!

I honestly can't imagine how sweet it would be at 100%. The boba was a little too chewy for my preference, and I've definitely had better elsewhere. The drink was reasonably priced at $5.75, so it didn't feel overpriced. One thing I appreciated was that there is parking behind the building near the back entrance, which made it easy to get in and out. They also have a few small two-person tables inside. I was able to grab a seat, enjoy my milk tea, and spend some time reading my book while I was there. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it wasn't memorable enough for me to come back. Glad I tried it, but there are other boba shops I prefer.

We stumbled into Elixir Tea Bar & Ice Cream and ended up staying way longer than planned (in the best way). The entire space feels like stepping into a magical world, think Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones, with incredible attention to detail. Every corner has something to discover, and yes... there are chess boards on every table, which instantly sets the tone. What really made the visit unforgettable was the owner, Cire. He personally served us, sat and talked chess, and made us feel like we weren't just customers, we were guests in his world. That kind of hospitality is rare. Since my friends were visiting from out of town, he even gave us a behind the scenes tour, including a peek into a hidden, members only room tucked behind a secret bookcase door (yes, it's as cool as it sounds). It honestly felt like we unlocked a level in a game. The drinks and treats were great, but the vibe? Next level. It's whimsical, cozy, immersive, and just... special.

LOCATION: Can be a little sketchy with solicitors outside near the stair entrance. I had a little trouble finding where it was, but it was up the stairs all the way at the end. Boba and food, I hear, can be hit or miss. I got lucky that my drink was good. Cups were all a little sticky, but that's expected from the magic spell, balance a bubble on your wand and put it on your cup paid experience. Water comes out in various colors, and oddly doesn't taste cold even with ice. (Idk if cold is taste but I had the same experience with the water brand black water) Puzzles and group activities everywhere. Come in a character or be a regular civilian, all employees are in character the whole time! Restroom. There's one non vip room restroom that is super decorated. There's even a waiting area with lots to look at. Super awesome place with lots of love and thought put into great ideas. Definitely a must try at least once place, if you don't get overstimulated easily.
