About Work In Progress

Nestled in Costa Mesa at 2944 Randolph Ave #1, Work In Progress is a charming coffee destination that seamlessly blends warm hospitality with a refined café experience. This dog-friendly spot offers an inviting outdoor patio, making it a favorite for those who enjoy a relaxed setting with their furry companions. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance-bright, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, combining old-world charm with a modern aesthetic that encourages both productivity and leisure.

Whether you're stopping by for a caffeine fix or looking for a cozy space to study or work, Work In Progress delivers. There’s a solid variety of seating options, and even during peak mid-morning hours, parking tends to be hassle-free. The energy of the space is elevated by friendly staff and a surprisingly welcoming crowd, adding to the overall comfort and sense of community.

The drink menu is thoughtfully curated with both classics and inventive seasonal offerings. A standout is the cold brew topped with pistachio cream-smooth, subtly sweet, and distinctly memorable. For something festive, the hazelnut toffee latte is a popular winter special, especially when ordered iced to highlight the velvety hazelnut cream topping. If you're a fan of bold coffee, the triple shot latte hits the spot, while matcha and mocha options cater to those looking for something playful yet flavorful.

On the food side, the almond croissant is a must-try. Flaky, buttery, and far from the dry textures found elsewhere, it pairs beautifully with any drink on the menu. From the quality of offerings to the vibe of the space, Work In Progress lives up to its name-a place where creativity, comfort, and great coffee are always in progress.
