Came on a Wednesday for brunch around 11 am. No line. Enjoyed the quiet relaxing ambience. The avocado toast was very yummy and my Americano was good too. Highly recommended

I enjoyed the beautiful and spacious interior of the cafe the most! I think it's probably the most beautiful coffee place in the area. I ordered a churro latte and the coffee itself isn't a show stopper but it was just fine. Also had a little ham and cheese croissant that was pretty good as well. Wish I could've tried the other breakfast foods but they do close the kitchen really early at 10:30 so their to-go foods were all they had. Good thing they were enjoyable though! This was a great place to have a quick chat with friends or to study for about an hour. I could see how the parking can be challenging for those who want to stay longer to study. The parking also is very limited so be prepared if you want to go during a busy time.

The ambiance of Greenhouse is 9/10. Music is a bit loud for studying, but the floor to ceilings create an enjoyable atmosphere. The service was fast and the staff is friendly. Coffee was good. Didn't try the food The biggest problem with this spot is the parking if you are coming here to study. There are a few 1 hr parking spots and the rest are even shorter (20mins I think). After 1 hr, you'll have to re-park across the street. They validate for 1.5 hours and after that it's $2 every 15mins with a $20 max. If you are just stopping by for a quick meeting or coffee/meal it's not a bad choice. But if looking for a study stop or place to read, I'd probably look elsewhere - not many electric outlets and for the reasons listed above

My friend and I wanted to meet for coffee somewhere in the middle for both of us. She suggested South Coast Plaza and I found this place conveniently located in the vicinity. Very spacious interior and you order as you come at the counter and they'll call your name when it's ready. Grab a table, some water if you'd like, it is self serve and some utensils from the shelf at the end of the counter. Breakfast was still being served (7-10:30a) so I got myself an Avocado Toast (picture below). Parking is across the street for 90 min free with validation.

Spacious seating area. Loved the vibes with tall glass windows allowing light to shine through. I built my own salad and it's nice to customize with their decent number of toppings. Service is great since they're really friendly. Would come back to try their lattes and pastries.

Greenhouse Coffee thoroughly impressed me! My friend surprised me on a little coffee date so I had no idea what to expect. Greenhouse Coffee was so beautiful and the name is very fitting for the ambiance. You get plenty of natural light and it's a great place to get work done or to lounge around. The service was super sweet. When ordering my build-your-own bowl, the worker was helping me along the way and I appreciated that the cashier made small talk and seemed genuinely interested throughout our conversation. This definitely added to my experience! I got the vanilla matcha latte and the build your own bowl. The vanilla matcha latte wasn't necessarily my favorite. The vanilla taste was strong -almost artificial and the matcha itself tasted grainy. The matcha itself does not come sweetened, so you have the option of adding vanilla, hazelnut, lavendar, or honey. I asked for less ice and the drink was not topped off so that's something to note when ordering. As for the build your own bowl, it was pretty good! The ingredients felt fresh and the flavors resembled that of a Mediterranean bowl. Parking: I parked in a 1-hour parking spot during my stay but I believe there's a structure that you could park at as well that does validation.
