The LAB stands for “Little American Business,” and that is exactly who we are and what we promote.

The LAB began its quest to battle retail boredom more than 25 years ago, when it was recycled from a night-vision goggle manufacturer!

We saw a need for an original, indoor-outdoor unorthodox hang-out filled with a wide selection of cafes, restaurants, and retail that embraced a vibrant community of fans of art, music, fashion, and contemporary food in the midst of Orange County’s suburbia.

On Bristol Street in Costa Mesa, California, about a half mile south of the 405 Freeway, you’ll find us. A simple glance at our website will provide you with information on upcoming events and special events, such as live music, maker markets, and artist installations.
