Coffee Dose

Coffee shop

🫤 For this place having gone viral multiple times, the vibe was just not there. 1st, it’s inside a salon, making it incredibly awkward to walk into when people are getting serviced feet away from you AND it makes it so cluttered and way too many people in the tight space. 2nd, the customer service is...

Hi-Time Wine Cellars

Liquor store

😐 Nice place, a lot of variety of wines. The employees are super nice. The wine bar is ok, they don't really give you enough wine in the tastings and some times the cheese platter is good and other ones not enough for the price.

Scuba.com

Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee

Donut shop

👍 Expensive but you get what you pay for! The stuff sold here are fresh. The workers gave me samples since I was new. The huckleberry and salt -butter donuts are they best sellers, which I sampled. They were both good. Huckleberry was not overwhelmingly sweet, so I could taste the dough and huckleberr...

Dave's Hot Chicken

Chicken restaurant

👍👍 Delicious as always! Another great Dave's Hot Chicken location. The bathrooms were clean, and the employees disinfected tables after customers left. The food was so yummy, I couldn't stop eating. I demolished everything in that tray!! 10/10 would come again

Nice Burger 100% Vegan - Costa Mesa
