The POCKET - by outpost kitchen

Loooove this local spot on a route I walk dogs! They’re dog friendly and take Apple Pay so it makes a quick pitstop on our walks a breeze! I enjoy their paired down avocado toast for an easy vegan snack (country toast, avo, greens, + salt / pepper). It’s so nice to order something simple yet it be tasty! Their espresso is also super smooth. I love a classic shot, but if you’re feeling fancy the orange tie (espresso, orange bitters, simple syrup, + orange peel) is an unexpected twist! Also, if you want to work on your laptop here, there are outlets in the wall to keep you charged up. Music is a little loud for calls but there’s a nice spot to sit out front. The owner is friendly and accommodating, truly makes for an awesome experience. Coming from a gal who frequents a few too many cof

So glad to see The Pocket has reopened on Monrovia (formerly Outpost Kitchen). Made my first visit since they’re back and had an excellent Brekky sandwich with really fresh, delicious ingredients. As an Aussie, I’ve missed having access to food like this. The coffee is great, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is funky and welcoming. Easy parking out front is a nice bonus. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality food and good coffee in Costa Mesa

THE CUTEST SPOT. Barista was so amazing, I didn’t get her name but she was so sweet. She brought out our drinks for us and checked in half way to make sure we were enjoying our lattes (WE DID). We had to go back for seconds before we left 😝. Parking was super easy so that was a plus. And the seating was spacious. So if you’re looking for a space to study or do work I would definitely come here!

People, come. Well lit, yummy, spacious, kind staff. Enjoyed myself.

Ill start with it was amazing and I highly recommend, now impressions.. We were a bit thrown off by the setting, place really is like your eating in a kitchen. Despite the high tables and stools, the seating is comfortable with different styles to fit your needs. Couldn't help but look over at our neighbor's plates and develop an envious hunger. You probably can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and thankfully they serve up orders quickly.
