Avocado toast was delicious for lunch. I also like their coffee. It's a very convenient location with plenty of parking.

I was in the area and found this place on Yelp! There was plenty of space to sit down and work early in the morning, and the seats were actually comfortable! So many coffee shops these days have awful seating (maybe to discourage camping), but not here! I got an iced oatmilk latte - decaf because ~anxiety~ and it was delicious. Not that often you find great decaf coffee!

Hidden gem! Excellent coffee. I came here to work because of a planned power outage. Even though they opened very recently, their staff was well informed and helpful. It was PACKED with UCI students, but thankfully I found a seat at a booth shortly after arriving. Speedy WiFi!

I work nearby and thought I would pick up a quick specialty coffee. I expected a little solitude, but it was kind of swarmed with students. As I waited I saw at least 3 people have trouble with their orders. Newly opened location I get it. I waited at least 8mins in line and and at least 10mins for my coffee. But my jibroni was a 10! I would come again, but in the off hoursParking: In a business park

* Coffee: ordered the Cold Bru. Tastes great! a bit on the acidic side and overall strong coffee. Really woke me up. Plus cute can design! * Parking: next to a huge parking lot so you don't have to worry about not getting a spot * Seating: indoor and outdoor seating available! Indoor seating can get a little crowded during busy hours (I went on a Thursday around 1pm) since this is near offices n UCI. The seats inside are comfy * Outdoor: Tons of outdoor seating though. Nice music and overall a relaxed vibe. Love the sunlight and bright atmosphere. * Wifi: public wifi for the plaza, worked well overall * Order ahead: Lines can get long so pickup is available thru uci.coffee I have bern at their Costa Mesa location and would definitely come back to this one!

They were out of the chai and the garden goat the three times I came; which was what I wanted to try but nonetheless it is a great place if you can find a spot! good vibes and good location. The people are always kind too!

Absolutely thrilled to see Moongoat Coffee open up a new location in Irvine!Having been a regular at their Costa Mesa spot, I've dearly missed the unique ambiance and quality coffee. Imagine my delight finding that same great vibe so close to my new home. The new spot doesn't miss a beat – it's the perfect blend of cozy and energizing, making it ideal for both quick coffee runs and short work sessions to get out of the office.The food, as always, is fantastic; it's evident that quality isn't compromised no matter where they set up shop.For anyone looking to mix up their workday scenery or just in need of a caffeine fix, Moongoat Coffee in Irvine is the place to be.Highly recommend!Parking: You wont have a problem finding a spot.

MOONGOAT NOW OPEN IN IRVINE FOOD: coffee was amazing, tried their signature churro latte and was tasty and very good quality. Price $6.50 Overnight Oats were delicious and a great way to start my morning. Definitely worth trying at least once. Price $6/7 Service: Went on grand opening day and despite heavier than usual crowds the service was amazing, I was constantly checked on, handed my coffee rapidly, and overall amazing service Ambiance: Great place to work or study, ample seating. Located right next to UCI so great place to go if you're a student. Overall 9.5/10

MoonGoat Coffee Roaster's original coffee shop located in Costa Mesa is honestly one of my favorite coffee shops. I was ecstatic to hear that one opened super close by to where I live and work! It is located right inside Research Park at the bottom floor of one of the "corporate buildings." Don't worry about having a UCI parking permit because they've reserved a series of spots in front of the shop. It has nice seating both indoors and outdoors (but not as aesthetic as their original location, I have to say). I admit that my matcha was a bit on the too-sweet side. Their prices are also reflective of your average, fancy coffee shop these days. I recommend their Churro Lattes.
Great place to study as it's very cozy and warm feeling! Parking was a bit confusing because it's literally right behind UCI but once I found it, there was a lot of parking. The WiFi is honestly super fast which is a huge plus for me and a lot of seating available! There's bar and tables along with couches and outside. I got the matchachino (I think that's what it's called) and it was honestly very weird but good. Would probably get it again :)

Highkey my new favorite spot! Didn't realize that this just opened in the UCI Research Park which is so so close to campus! I've been waiting for quality coffee spots that are really accessible to campus which also have alot of seating! I've always been able to find a seat here, as well as charging ports! Love it :)

My son & I, went on a Mom & Son coffee date, this afternoon. We decided to check out MoonGoat's Irvine location. We'll definitely be back...the parking situation alone, makes this location worth the visit (CM location parking lot is CRAZY). This new Irvine location (UCI area) has ample parking, plenty of seating inside & out, friendly baristas, and the coffee is amazing. You can't go wrong with the Churro Latte!

If you're reading this, it's too late. I've finished my coffee and I went back to work. I'll be back though because this place is great. Try it for yourself, don't let this eloquent review influence you (or do).

Unfortunately, the minimum for a coffee shop is to have good coffee, this place does not. Got a basic vanilla latte and it was very watery, and very expensive. Pricier than higher quality/better tasting coffee shops nearby
