Coffee Muse

We were originally going to go to a different cafe for crepes, but by accident ended up here. No regrets! The cashier (a tall man with brown hair, should’ve gotten his name), was really nice and gave us a free blueberry cookie on the house.

This is a super cute cafe with a wide variety of teas and coffees. They have some interesting pastries and a few artisan toasts for food options. I ended up getting the avocado toast with a cold brew and my bf got the dirty chai.

The dirty chai was creamy and delicious with not too strong of a spice flavor. The cold brew was pretty good, and on the sour side. It probably would’ve gone well with some almond milk. The avocado toast was unlike any I’ve ever had. It had a strong garlic and salt flavor, which would’ve paired well with a sweeter drink than the cold brew. The avocado seemed to be really fresh, like they mashed it to order, which was amazing! I usually like my avocado toast with some greens or radish on top, but the avocado was so good it made up for it. The toast was also super yummy. Normally I don’t like hard crusted bread, but this bread was really tasty and wasn’t maximum crunchy, so I could handle the crust. Overall a great avocado toast!

The chocolate muffin was okay. Personally, I think the flavor was good, but a little dry.
The chai was missing flavor. I'm not sure if it was because we asked for an espresso shot, and it competed against the spices in the chai.
Nice spot and friendly baristas.

First time, great experience. Lot of regular locals seem to come here, baristas friends with many customers. Agree with other positive reviews, just wanted to add that they have the best coffee lids! Lol, really. They feel great on the lips.

I'm going to give this place five stars because frankly this part of Santa Ana downtown(?) could use some more coffee shops. That said their cappuccino was like something you'd get at Starbucks (it was made by a batista who clearly doesn't know what a cappuccino is, sorry but very true) and they were playing a Bruno Mars LP: the whole record at high volume at 7 am, which is a bit much for a coffee shop vibe that early in the morning

Hazelnut almond milk latte!!! Delicious!! Beans roasted on premises. Only customers can use baño so I ordered myself this delicious latte and became a customer❤️

this place is such a cute little shop, it feels super cozy to just sip your coffee while sitting inside

White Mocha Espresso Latte 5/5

I personally love their lavender iced latte. Friendly staff and cute place with local pop up shops next door.

Love the ☕ and service! If they just made 🍪🍪🍪, you need to get some. We had blueberry white chocolate chip. Bomb af.

Cold brew is flavorful. Today it was a Honduras roast.

Will def return.

It was alright. I went very early so it was quiet. The smell was super pleasant. More woody and roasty than brewed. There's very little seating inside but there is an outdoor area. The coffee was pretty good, I wouldn't recommend their pumpkin spiced.

If you are ever in the area of Downtown Santa Ana, I personally invite you to stop by this business whether you are a coffee drinker.or not. You will love the environment and setting. Has seating outside at street level. I. The heart of downtown Santa Ana California.
