This is one of Tustin’s hidden gems, and you owe it to yourself to check it out. Tucked away in a small shopping center on 17th and Bryan, The lost bean offers gourmet coffee drinks, pastries, and other snacks. I like it because it feels cozy and welcoming. The decor is warm and eclectic but everything just feels right. The prices can be slightly on the high end, but I don’t mind them from time to time. I go here to meet with friends or clients when I want a change of pace from the cookie-cutter one-on-every-corner coffee shops all over Orange County. When you come here, you’ll enjoy your drink if you stay, and you might even strike up a conversation with the people hanging out. This has happened more than once to me, and the chats are always interesting. In my opinion, by far the best drink is the Monkey Mocha. The flat white is pretty good if you want something more “traditional.” My wife likes the Zebra Mocha. The staff is always friendly, and they seem to enjoy working there. They have decent wifi and a few tables you can work from if you get to find an empty one. Going back to what I said about the friendly locals, sometimes you can even share a table with a stranger, and it works out just fine. It’s definitely a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts.

I have been coming here whenever I can. In college, I would frequent this place for early mornings with friends to read the Bible. There is a lot of seating prior to the Lost Vine being open. It's a great place to relax, read a book, or chat with friends.

The coffee was pretty good, a little on the lighter side of the roast for my taste. Service was excellent, it is a little crowded, but that's a good sign. I hear they have really good quiche, my wife enjoyed her latte. Next time that we come we'll have to order some food, put the coffee and Latte were great.

We wanted to find a local small business and found this. They bake fresh goods daily and roast there own coffee beans. It is located in a small plaza in Tustin. They have indoor and outdoor seating avail. There were quite a few people working on their lap tops. We ordered a hot latte, 2 matcha lattes, and a zebra blended mocha, a blueberry muffin (GF), Strawberry lemonade scone (GF), blueberry scone, and a bacon breakfast burrito. The pastries were fresh and delicious. The breakfast burrito was o.k. The match lattes needed more matcha. The zebra mocha was yummy. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the baked items and coffee.

Boutique little coffee & tea shops are always something I am looking for as I am chronically under-caffeinated. Not only were the serving staff charming and wonderful, they were also singing along to the ‘80’s rock soundtrack where the grass is green and the girls are pretty - I love seeing joy like that when people are working. The coffee was exceptional - not over roasted (burnt) as was my green tea. I am excited to carry my day forward with all of the jitters but none of the stomach churn.

ordered an iced matcha late with oat milk and it’s tasty. typical drink i would get since when i don’t make it at home. was greeted immediately when noticed and given time to look at the menu. really like the cozy and comfortable vibe this place is going for. people know each other and despite of doing work here, people get along with each other and make you as a new comer still welcomed!
