It's a cute, clean coffee shop with plenty of seating both indoors and outside. Most customers seemed to be grabbing their coffee to go, but there's a nice, relaxed atmosphere if you want to sit and enjoy your drink. I ordered the Coconut Mocha Latte, and my daughter had the Caramel Sweet Cream Cold Brew Latte. Both drinks were delicious and, thankfully, not overly sweet. The flavors were just right and the coffee was well balanced. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the shop itself was bright, cute, and clean. Definitely a great little coffee spot if you're in the Corona del Mar area!

It's a local hangout for sure; patrons working on lap tops, friends greeting each other and barista's acknowledging prior customers. Super cool spot situated on the main thoroughfare on Lido and only steps to a view of the marina. The Coffee itself was excellent; great flavor, well made and the service was equally as good. The outside patio reminded me of something you'd find in Europe; the walls are covered in vines and it's situated right on the the street where it was a great place to people watch etc.. I could see this place getting extremely busy of a weekend and parking would be very challenging so plan accordingly...we were there at 7.30am , perfect time. A must visit.

The space feels like a beautiful greenhouse oasis, a thoughtfully designed environment that creates a sense of serenity whether you choose to sit indoors or outside. The staff are equally welcoming and friendly, which adds to the overall charm and warmth of this coffee roaster. With a full page beverage and food menu, MoonGoat is much more than just a place for coffee. They offer a nice variety of food as well. I only wish their selection of desserts and sweets were a bit more expansive and appealing. We ordered the iced Marsala coffee and a latte. The beans were perfectly roasted, delivering a wonderful depth and richness to both drinks. Each cup was smooth, flavorful and thoroughlly enjoyable. We also tried the gluten free pecan cake. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet which allowed the flavorrs to come through naturally. The cake itself was slightly plain, but the generous pecan/toffee topping added the richness and texture it needed and made each bite much more satisfying. I could easily sit here for hours, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the thoughtfully designed space. It's the kind of coffee shop where you want to slow down, linger and simply enjoy the moment.

I usually don't love Hojicha from many places, but this one was decent and smooth. I also ordered a seasonal Strawberry Watermelon Matcha Cold Foam, which was a bit too sweet for my boyfriend's (and my) liking, but it definitely had the watermelon and strawberry flavors there. Love the ambiance and vibe of this coffee shop and it's a great place to work or read for 1-2 hours. Wi-Fi was great and the staff is friendly. You can validate parking up to 2 hours across the street with a purchase. Not my absolute favorite coffee shop, but I'd definitely come back!

I'm an educator who also has students who need support and finally being able to see a shop like this can really uplift everyone. Parking is slightly interesting - one way driving only and it is located around the perimeter of the block. Today, I decided to get their pumpkin Spanish latte, a seasonal drink. I was able to admire their decor and design while waiting. They had a nifty message board that changed to different quotes in a timely manner. The workers here re very sweet, kind, and quick. They also know how to make their coffee because my drink was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend coming by to support them.

You are technically only allowed to park for 2 hours max (although I'm not sure how thorough the complex is). It's a bummer considering most people like to study/work for longer than that.

This boutique is stacked with all your favorite flavors of Nespresso, plus some you've likely never tried before. The process of purchasing is very posh.

During my most recent visit I purchased the maple pecan, yuzu, pistachio, and a Japanese vanilla. The maple pecan and pistachio currently have my heart and pair perfectly with my morning latte.
