The Lost Bean Organic Coffee & Tea

"The most zen outdoor coffee space I’ve ever experienced. The opposite of Starbucks, in the best way possible."

"Overall: 4.7/5 (dine in) The Lost Bean is a huge coffee shop that's a great place to work, study, or chill. They have both indoor and outdoor seating so people are more spread out. They have wifi for working which works better indoor; it was too spotty for VC outside so my call kept dropping. They also have a bunch of outlets at the back wall to plug your devices in. They have a water station set up by the area where you pick up your drinks which shows how much they think about their customers. The workers were really nice as well and didn't kick people out when the cafe was closing. After closing, I saw people sitting outside still so I guess you can still use their outdoor space. I went exploring since The Lost Bean is located in like a business center and there's different seating areas around the center. 16 Oz Iced Caramel Macchiato ($5.50) + Oat Milk ($1): The cashier recommended the caramel macchiato based on the information I gave her. I almost got the Better Than Bulletproof coffee which is a keto drink and high in fat but she told me I wouldn't like it if I'm looking for a sweet drink. I asked for less caramel so that it wouldn't be overwhelmingly sweet. Upon my first sip, I didn't taste the caramel, just really strong coffee. I mixed my drink up with a straw and that solved my problem. The caramel macchiato became balanced and was strong enough to keep me really focused throughout the day."

"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 favorite breakfast sandwich. I opted for a quiche and a banana nut bread (both warmed up), a flat white, and a carmel macchiato. The quiche was a bit too eggy for me, but still okay, the banana nut bread was good, so as the coffee with no surprises. Free WiFi available (thelosttbean2)."

"Beautiful coffee shop hidden inside a business park. Great entrance, absolutely awesome modernica chairs , stunning outdoor space. I came here in a rainy day and I can imagine this place will be packed with people during summer. Love the space. Service is very friendly and great coffee too. Definitely should check it out when you are in the area."
