It all began on February 17th, 2005, when two people crossed paths for the first time at a local coffee shop. Call it fate, luck, or just serendipity—either way, on that day the “perfect blend” was created. Fast forward two decades, and that very coffee moment came full circle with the opening of our first IYKYK! Coffee Lab located in Huntington Beach, CA. Quickly following that was the launch of our catering division and then second shop opening at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, CA.
What started as a quirky coffee shop located in the middle of a food court, has quickly become a go-to destination for elevated espresso, matcha, specialty drinks, and an unforgettable vibe. Whether you’re there for a perfect cup or a Sunday morning DJ set, IYKYK! Coffee Lab isn’t just about great coffee—it’s about making every visit something to remember.
IYKYK! Coffee Lab was born from a place of passion, combined with a touch of necessity (If You Know You Know). From day one we set a clear goal: to change the way people experience specialty coffee through the dynamic fusion of music, art, and technology. Our mission is simple:
- To create a space where baristas and customers connect as equals.
- To serve a product that stands above the rest—coffee and matcha crafted to their fullest potential.
- To offer an experience that goes beyond just a cup, a place where collaboration, creativity, and community unite.
- To lead with sustainability and transparency in every aspect of the specialty coffee journey.
We’re a team that’s obsessed with creating moments- menu items, specialty drinks, recipes and even playlists. We love hearing that “OMG” when a customer tries one of our signature drinks for the first time.
