The Lost Bean — Restaurant in Tustin

The Mess Hall is a wonderful location...plenty of very comfortable seating, both indoor and outdoor, with top-notch lavatories and plenty of parking. The Lost Bean found within is the cornerstone, featuring a spacious, open feeling. It is bright and clean and all food & beverage options are readily observable. The service has always been friendly and knowledgeable, from Shawn-of-the-Dead (no longer with that location) to the ever-gregarious Michelle. My slightly complex orders have always been made with craft and care, brewed and presented to perfection. Even on those rare occasions when being slammed by a line, the crew attitude stays calm and helpful. Patience pays as the end result is worth the wait. Finding the Lost Bean is definitely worth the search. I highly recommend this location...

Apparently, walk-in customers are less important than online orders. The one employee working told me I'd have to wait to order until she finished a large online order. I would think customers physically present would take precedence over online customers, but apparently not. Once I waited and finally got my latte, it was good. Disappointing that customers are treated this way, especially as parking is free for the first 10 minutes, yet I was told I had to wait for 10 minutes...

This place has good coffee, but so do many other coffee shops in OC. However, I like this place for 3 reasons:

1. Michelle is the best. When I’m getting coffee I feel like I’m catching up with a friend, not just ordering from a barista.

2. they brew organic coffee and have gluten free pastry options - which is a bonus from a health standpoint.

3. it’s inside the Mess Hall @ FLIGHT (an upscale food court), so there’s always plenty of seating, and good...
