In-sīt Coffee – Costa Mesa

1. This coffee shop is in a small plaza. There was room for me to sit and study around 10 a.m. on a Friday. The best part was the friendly service. Also, I got the croissant sandwich was a pleasant surprise, I liked the sauce/aoili. Also, lots of interesting drink options, but not so much that it’s overwhelming. The chai tea was good too- from somebody who doesn’t like their chai too strong.

2. Been going here for a few years and the coffee is always great! Pastries are brought in fresh daily and are all delicious! Never had a bad experience here and Sean is awesome!

3. Other than the parking where it’s located, the coffee and non-coffee drink was made well and tasted great. The staff was nice and described their selection of drinks if you had any concerns or modifications needed for your drink. The croissant sandwich was tasty and well presented also. When I’m in the area and there’s parking, I would like to try their lattes.

4. Had a fantastic and delicious pour over which was also beautifully presented. I’m a sucker for coffee served with a glass of water on a tray. Purchased a bag of beans as well (which at the time of this review meant the beverage was free). Very friendly service and welcoming enough to this business traveler that I’ll be visiting again tomorrow before heading to the airport. Music was indeed on the louder side but not intrusively annoying. Didn’t try the food and I walked from the hotel so parking wasn’t at all a problem (and at 9am, there were plenty of empty spaces anyway). Glad I happened upon this cafe.

5. I haven’t tried a drink from In-sit yet, as a non-coffee drinker the tea options aren’t very compelling. But I did try their pastries, which I love! The passion fruit pastry and orange scone are my favorite so far, but the chocolate croissant is very good as well. The matcha pistachio croissant was just okay, I would prefer a filling over the chocolate/candy coating in the outside. Be prepared to wait, there’s never more than two employees and this is a popular breakfast spot. Parking in this plaza gets tough as the day goes on, but if you come for breakfast or brunch you should have no problem getting a spot.
