If youve never tried M&H.... I suggest you get over here ASAP. Refreshing and great atmosphere.My personal fav is their M&H special or one of their lattes.Be aware of a small parking lot/limited space due it being a shared lot with other stores. Park with caution! (Although it may not be as busy considering the pandemic as of lately)

I tried the Spanish latte and the matcha green tea latte. I’ve tried Spanish latte in various coffee shops and this is bland, no cream on the top. I’ve also tried the blueberry muffin and it tasted good. The location is super cute and got good Instagram pictures.

I love the vibe here. So chill and refreshing to go in a morning. I went there on the morning of a weekday that the whole store was mine! The whole patio was empty and it was pretty outside. This place can be a photogenic spot for Instagram posts. The drinks are good! You cannot go wrong with coffee, I read the comments that it said smoothies are bad sometimes. They also have light eats to go along with the drinks. The only downside of this place is small, it can get crowded in the patio area at peak times.Highlights of the menu:1. Spanish latte2. Lavender latte3. Avocado toast

Cute place with fast service. Their drinks are reasonably priced and they have other food items too. I tried the match shaved ice and it came with a lot of toppings, I would trade the banana for something else though. I would come here again!

Come here all the time for the mocha cooler they have. It’s a great dessert drink that I recommend.Location is clean and the people working there are attentive and friendly.Rarely I get something other than the mocha cooler because I find most drinks too sweet compared to how other places make them.Recommend this place if you’re in the area or in the Hb area for their other location.

I’ve been here about 4 times now and each time I’ve been friendly and tried to talk to the people working there to strike up a conversation and every time they’ve been rude to me. The girl who was preparing my order today was sweeping when I walked in and she gave me the ugliest look like I was an inconvenience getting in the way of her doing her job. The Spanish latte was also huge disappointment as it just didn’t have much going on.

Coffee is pretty good but was disappointed they were out of oakmilk and small cups on a Monday morning. You think they would have stocked up over the weekend. My bagel had a little mold on it (could barely see) but I cut that part off and ate it anyway. Makes me think they arent on top of inventory. The girl working did not seem happy to be there at all but maybe she was having a bad day.

Acai bowl was good. Drip coffee was pretty bad - they use a local roaster, so maybe they just need to source better coffee; although I think it was also brewed far too weak. Unfortunately, I cannot say I recommend this place :(

Review №15

The lavender lattes are the best. They don’t really taste flowery/perfumey like most lavender lattes.. they taste more like a milk tea. So if you like milk teas then youll love the lavender lattes. Theyre really creamy and rich and wonderful. Definitely recommended.You can get it with rice milk (my personal favorite) instead of their regular milk which makes it taste different but equally great!

My wife and I love this place we live in Inglewood, California which is approximately 40 miles from Milk & Honey which is located in Costa Mesa, California. It has the best organic coffees/drinks in Southern California. We passed many other coffee shops (maybe hundreds) just to get to Milk & Honey, but this place is OUTSTANDING/AWESOME. 🐢☕🐢☕🐢☕

This is my favorite tea house in town when Im craving earthy organic tea. Although its a cute little joint with just a few seats. Its truly a coffee & tea house for the modern tea enthusiast. Its definitely different from my average daily boba milk tea joints that I normally go to on a daily around town.My favorite here is the Ginger Citron Tea thats easy sweet. The citron is normally very sweet so I guess they just downplay the citron leaving my tea with this strong aroma of ginger in every sip but yet leaving traces of earthy & citrus aroma finish. You will not like my tea if herbal is not your thing.I will definitely come back to try their coffee & dessert when Im looking for something to tickle my taste buds & satisfy my sweet tooth. I came from having a large lunch so I could try more selections from their menu.

Open just in time in the morning before my shift. Its near the antimall and The Lab on Bristol. Nice open airy feeling when youre in the cafe. outside and inside seating. Baked goods, Coffee, iced and hot drinks. Coffee is nice and hot but not too hot. Flavors are bold and rich. No burnt taste or after taste. Smooth and warming. even on warmer days a nice cup of hot coffee makes it pleasing. Near alot of food and shopping outlets and SouthCoast plaza up the street. And DJI Orange County down the street.Great experience overall. Give it a try and decent prices

On a hot day the matcha deluxe sounded great until you realize 4 bites deep that unlisted on the ingredients was beans. Not a savory treat after all and ruined it. Threw the whole thing away and called it a day.

Really cool coffee shop to bring a date too. Im not a huge coffee fan but the coffee here is really good and they have bomb frozen yogurt. The patio is the coolest part, its got couches outside with strung lights like give it a cozy feel. Good (and cheap) place to bring a date.

Good place for a great coffee, cookies and pies. Potato and mushroom pie is my personal favorite. They have an honesty box if you dont have time to wait so you can just pour yourself some coffee and pay to the box. I personally love it.

If you go to this place on the weekends, youre probably not going to find parking or you have to end up with valet :-(This place is a small shop with an outdoor side with lots of tables. A lot of people come here to study.I came to try the lavender latte and its basically like a frap with a hint of lavender. Its a nice blend of creamy and no flavors are overpowering each other.I would definitely recommend lavender latte!

Great service. Friendly staff. They have a good selection of drinks. I like the atmosphere of this place. Very cozy, artsy, and casual. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Youll have a great time at milk and honey. If you cannot decide what to order, you can ask the cashier.

This is a super cute little coffee shop in Costa Mesa. There is a lovely outdoor area with tables, benches, and twinkly lights. I am only rating it 4/5 because the inside is quite small and I dont love their espresso, however, they have a super-delicious chai here! They also have macaroons, smoothies, shaved ice, and more. Its a great spot for a coffee meet-up or a snack!

There was a long line to get coffee here. I ordered the New Orleans Iced Coffee and the Butter Brown Sugar Apple Buckle pastry. The pastry was really good, moist and not overly sweet. The New Orleans iced coffee was good too, just the right amount of sugar where you can still taste the coffee. Would return.

It’s not knock your socks off, it’s not terrible. It’s just a solid place to get good quality coffee and tea. Their plain frozen yogurt tastes like lemon yogurt. So tart and acidic.

Review №48

They have really good drinks and bowls but they are not consistently good. I have had a couple experiences where the blended drinks do not taste like how I have grown accustomed to.Also not the place to grab a black coffee or regular iced coffee. Get a specialty drink. My favorite if the mocha cooler

The fact that they serve organic coffee is excellent.They have a good selection of coffee drinks available, teas and tea latters, and sweeter fruit drinks.They also serve sandwhich & breakfast-type of food as well as fruit & granola and acai bowls.Indoor is not very spacious, but works. Their outdoor seating is the main highlight with its unique design and decor.This cafe is suited better for social gatherings rather than to work on your computer.Why?Their internet has been very slow at times, to the point of barely functioning.As for the coffee, I prefer an espresso here as to a black coffee. Their black coffee seems to not have as much flavor as other coffee shops. In addition, Its caffeine content per cup seems less than the average premium black coffee. Their espresso is very good and has a pleasant flavor to it.If you want to meet with some friends or bring a date to a nearby organic cafe, this would be a good option.

Review №53

Came here looking for dessert, so I got the Milk & Honey special which was made of strawberry yogurt, shaved ice, strawberries, bananas, kiwi, mochi, and red bean.The special was pretty good, cant really go wrong with fruit and red bean, but the ice was really bad. Im used to extremely soft snow, which was what I was expecting, but that is not the case here. Even so, you would expect it to be like snow cone ice, but it wasnt. Parts of the shaved ice clumped together and didnt really make it that fun to eat. Everything else, however, was good.The store is rather tiny, not really much to sit, but it does have a very cute hipster aesthetic.I cant really say much about the coffee since Im not much of a coffee person, but if you are, I would give this place a try.Note: If you check-in on Yelp, you get 5% off your order.

Review №56

Not for people with FOOD ALLERGIES. I ordered an acai bowl with no granola due to my sons allergies. They added granola even though I specifically ordered it without. When I notified them, she said she didnt want to make it again and brought it to the back to scoop off the granola. I told her that he cant eat it due to allergies and she finally offered to re-make it. Keep in mind I had already been waiting for twenty minutes. Other people that had ordered after me got theirs first. I got a refund and left.

Review №60

The vanilla chai tea latte is good. Im sure most of the items on the menu are good as well. However, the girls that work here are some of the rudest Ive ever encountered. On more than one occasion Ive stood at the register ready to place my order while the three girls working stood right there and held an entire conversation with one another-completely ignoring me. On my most recent visit this exact same thing happened and one of the girls finally looked over her shoulder at me, turned back around and told one of the other girls to help me (because she apparently was too busy half ass stirring what was probably her own drink). The other girl started to protest to the one stirring saying something like oh but I was getting ready to do this and that essentially giving an excuse as to why she didnt want to be the one to help me. By the time she started to make her way over to me I waved her off and just left. I am so anxious about making a scene that I havent called this out to them either time. But this last time I was very close to losing my cool. I work in retail as a manager, and I know its totally normal to socialize a bit with your coworkers, but when customers are in the building, its absolutely unacceptable. Im disgusted at the poor service.

Small place, but really cool vibe. Outdoor patio seems really nice to sit at too, but if course it was one of the 3 times it rains in southern California when I went (except 2017 is turning out to be a wet year...). Anywho, some of the best latte drinks Ive ever had. I got a chai latte. 100% recommend.

A unique coffee experience. Good tasting organic coffee with an organic environment. Enjoy your coffee in the shade, underneath the vines. The only downside would be that its a tiny place that fills up quick. Not for claustrophobics.

Im a fan! Unknowingly, I came here for a late night cup of joe years before and stumbled upon it again at the CAMP.Besides the organic feel of this place, they offer:Yogurt (parfait with fruits and granola), shaved ice, blended drinks, coffee (organic), tea, bagels, sandwiches, waffles.The feel of this place is quite relaxing with their lovely outdoor patio surrounded by vines, its a piece of art...too bad theres no heat lamp. The seating is limited, but most folks get everything to-go.Green Tea Latte: smooth and creamy with the perfect amount of sweetness. The best one I had by far, 5 stars!Bonus: almond milk availablePlenty of Parking...its near the Chevron!

I thought this is a boba place from all the shaved ice pictures but its actually a place for latte, tea and some shaved ice. I ordered the H + M shaved ice and it came already 75% melted, it wasnt even a hot day. I guess it probably wasnt like this all the time. The place have very little sitting but the outdoor sitting area with plants is very cool. If the ice hasnt melted it wouldve tasted pretty good. The fruits, mochi, and red beans are all sweet and tasty.

Went there with my girlfriend, coffee was great however every single one of the girls working were incredibly rude. All looked like they were miserable, cashier was incredibly curt with everyone in the shop. Really dont feel like supporting a place like this again, worst customer service Ive encountered anywhere in a while. I get it, I work retail, sometimes people suck, but if youre that upset work elsewhere or change industries. Again service was terrible.

Milk & Honey is nor big nor small coffee cafe. You may think think it will be similar to Starbucks, but you can be wrong. Milk & Honey coffees, milk teas, teas, and smoothies are unique in their taste and use only fresh ingredients. Acai berry bowls are made fresh for every order. Acai smoothie gives a taste of freshness and sourness of the acai berry, and fresh fruits and syrup add sweetness to it. This dish is good to enjoy in hot weather 🌼. The pastries are very delicious as well. You should definately try cheese roll and guava cheese pastry.I personally love this place and enjoy everytime I have a chance to go there. The stuff is welcoming and kind. And if you are not in the mood in the morning, their smile and delicious food can cheer you up a bit...*If you are a first-timer, and dont know where to start, I would recommend lavender latte. It is good both ways - hot and/or cold, and have a light touch of lavender taste to it ( not as strong as some coffee shops prefer to do). For me, it is like a little taste of heaven. 🌺🤗

Iced lavender americano was very good. Id rather support my small local coffee shop before a Starbucks. This place is a nice, cozy, quaint, clean, courteous little spot where 20 and 30 something year old unbathed looking hipsters can get a weird coffee to take a picture of for their 27 followers on Instagram. I enjoyed the outdoor patio very much. Even with the guy taking a nap at the back table. Sleep, dude. Awesome. Nothin but love for ya. Im jealous TBH. Wish I could do the same. 5 stars. Will definitely return next time Im in the area. 👍
