As guests toast to the season with Mumbai Mules, Asian Pear Martinis and Cherry Blossom craft cocktails, their palates will be awakened with exquisite creations from a Pad Thai Action Station and an Goi Cuon Action Station alongside dishes that are sure to impress including Indian Butter Chicken, Tandoori Salmon, Pancit, Lumpias, K-Pops, Mochis and more!

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.
