The Lab




After my beach trip with my husband was cut short we thought we were returning home, but the 5 freeway had other plans. We got off the nearest exit looking to find some food, but we ended up finding The Lab in Costa Mesa.

The best way for me to describe The Lab is a creative farmer’s market that is open all day. It includes many shops; Urban Outfitters and Buffalo Exchange are the more noted ones, and several independent boutiques such as Great Laundry and Harlow.

The Lab also has 3 restaurants, Habana a Cuban restaurant, The Gypsy Den Café if you want coffee, and Zipangu an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant.

It was a very nice relaxing and creative atmosphere, I didn’t get to eat at any of the restaurants but it’s a great excuse to come back. Who would have known getting stuck in traffic could be a good thing.
