Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee
Donut shop
👍 Expensive but you get what you pay for! The stuff sold here are fresh. The workers gave me samples since I was new. The huckleberry and salt -butter donuts are they best sellers, which I sampled. They were both good. Huckleberry was not overwhelmingly sweet, so I could taste the dough and huckleberr...

The 12 Costa Mesa

👍👍 I only have great things to say about the 12! All the trainers there are honestly amazing and make class so much fun. My two personal faves are Jared and Brooke. 9:00am with Brooke quickly became a class that I never want to miss, it actually has become more of a family then workout class. It’s neve...

The Lost Bean Organic Coffee & Tea
Coffee shop
👍 Back at the lost bean coffee, this time at it's Costs Mesa store. Eventhough it's situated and tucked in an industrial zone, but it has nice and inviting appearance with ample outdoor sittings. This store does not have a kitchen (items are delivered fresh every morning) so I wasn't able to get my fa...

Staff was friendly and helpful even though there was a rush. Place is popular so there may be a little bi...

👍👍 Very nice selection of healthy meals. The price is relatively fair and I really like their "select 2" option. This place has spacious indoor and outdoor seating. The only slight thing that bothers me is that they don't have a variety of soup to choose from. It can be a hit or a miss with their soup...
