MoonGoat Coffee
1985 Placentia Ave, Costa Mesa, CA
Crema's Take
“This unassuming Costa Mesa spot punches above its weight with exceptional food that rivals dedicated brunch spots—think genuinely excellent eggs benedict with perfectly seasoned savory notes—alongside solid coffee and tea in a welcoming space that actually has room to breathe. The self-checkout customization screens make ordering seamless, the staff treats requests with genuine care, and there's even valet parking to sweeten the deal, making it feel like a hidden gem that locals have already figured out.”

Great overall experience just one small issue. I loved the self-checkout screens, they make customizing drinks super easy, and they actually followed my extra requests perfectly. My iced matcha was high quality and tasted great. The restrooms were clean, and there was plenty of seating to study or hang out. Most of the staff was chill and friendly, but one barista came across as rude to a customer. He walked up thinking his drink was ready as they call by name and asked about it. She gave him a look and bluntly said, “No,” without much explanation. It just felt a little dismissive and could have been handled in a more welcoming way. It was also a bit warm inside, not sure if the AC was on. Overall, still a good spot, just that one interaction slightly took away from the experience.
Plenty of seating inside also as many laptop user as seating. They sounds like have food selection but not sure if anybody can get a seating. We had to make it to go. Coffee was good. Not as good as my Russian coffee shop but good. Plenty of parking.
Might be my new favorite café. Because this place doesn't just serve coffee to order, but also has a gray select of tasty food that you would expect from a secret hole in the wall. Great staff that is friendly and helpful or conveniently order from the tablet with pictures of all the menu items. Enviroment lends its self nicely to all group sizes with a large table and booth seating upstairs. And comfortable seating downstairs alongside bar seating. Theres also outside sgaded seating if thats your thing.
Unassuming find for breakfast and coffee:tea. Great 😌 but place to work and hang out. The food was A1 and coffee was great. There’s chill valet that work off tips makes parking a non issue. Great crowd
Absolutely fantastic place! The eggs benedict were the best I've ever had. A savory seasoning really leveled it up Ask for a London fog as well. Delicious and perfect. And the service is friendly and fast
