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!

So when we happened to be in the area and I saw there was a Stereoscope nearby, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to stop by! AMBIENCE: The interior of this location is really nice, although it's on the smaller side and can get crowded easily when busy. We visited on a Sunday morning, and there was already a long line when we arrived. PARKING: Unfortunately, parking was extremely limited. The parking structures in the nearby buildings were all closed on Sundays (I think), so we ended up parking in front of a building in a spot designated as a 5-minute loading zone. With the long line inside, we knew we'd be there much longer than 5 minutes, and worrying about potentially getting towed definitely took away from the experience. I've heard they validate parking in the nearby structure for up to 2 hours, so hopefully visiting on a weekday will make things easier! Overall, the coffee is consistently great, and I'd happily come back. Just hoping for a less stressful parking situation next time!

P.s. still bummed they don't validate for parking

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.

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.
