MoonGoat Coffee Roasters Opens Fifth and Largest OC Location at Pacific Arts Plaza
08.01.25
MoonGoat Coffee Roasters is opening its biggest and most impressive location yet—and it’s right in the heart of Costa Mesa’s arts and culture district. The new MoonGoat Greenhouse at Pacific Arts Plaza officially opens Wednesday, Aug. 6, with a public celebration starting at 9 a.m. Expect free samples of their award-winning coffee, 20% off everything all day, and gift card giveaways.
This is MoonGoat’s fifth Orange County location and their second within an Irvine Company workplace, following last year’s opening at UCI Research Park. The new spot at 3210 Park Center Drive is their largest café to date—with a spacious interior, expanded menu, and a sunny patio that opens to the iconic Noguchi Garden.
On the menu: a broad mix of specialty coffee, matcha drinks, breakfast, and lunch. It’ll be open daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week.
MoonGoat launched in Costa Mesa in 2018 and has grown into one of OC’s favorite coffee roasters, with locations across Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, Irvine, and Santa Ana. You’ll also find their coffee served at Olive Grove Café, Spectrum Kitchen, and Pacific Breeze Café—three more Irvine Company spots.
Pacific Arts Plaza is just steps from South Coast Plaza and Segerstrom Center for the Arts, making it the perfect location for MoonGoat’s newest shop. The plaza is home to top-tier offices, restaurants, a fitness center, meeting space, and the beautiful Noguchi Garden—plus it’s easy to get to, right off the 405.

Fritz and Friends Set for One-Night Show in Orange County
08.01.25
Fritz Coleman returns to the stage this summer with “Fritz and Friends,” a one-night-only comedy show at the Lake Forest Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.
A beloved figure across Southern California, Coleman is best known for his four-decade run as KNBC-TV’s weathercaster, where he earned six local Emmy Awards, appeared on The Tonight Show eight times, and shared the stage with legends like Bob Hope, Debbie Reynolds, George Benson, and Ray Charles.
Beyond the broadcast world, Coleman has long made audiences laugh with solo shows including The Reception and It's Me! Dad!—the latter produced for television by KCET. His current special, Unassisted Residency, holds the record as the longest-running show in the history of North Hollywood’s El Portal Theatre.
Now, he’s bringing the laughs to Orange County.
