50 Best Coffee Shops near Foothill Ranch

“Great coffee, and also a great place to just relax and get reading done 😊“

“Great time.......especially for 5:00 am. I couldn't miss your Grand Opening! Amazing Pumpkin Swirl Coffee & Lattes too! Pumpkin Muffins, Donuts & Carmel Apple Croissant Donuts were a big hit at home!! See you soon!“

“A young guy, named Iman, is doing great job there. I hadn't had good experience with this branch before but this guy made me to change my mind and come back again. Thank you Iman, you will shine like a star in the market with this high level of customer service, good luck.“

“Cool Boba Shop! So, I didn’t know that not all Ding Tea locations have the same drink flavors. Most of the drinks are the same, but each location has a drink or drinks of their own. At least that’s what the cashier said when they didn’t have a drink I usually order at other locations.Nice clean place. Seating inside and out available. You can also order through a touch screen if you want! Excellent touch!Staff is friendly and patient, it took me a little bit to find my drink lol.“

“We absolutely love Mameya for our coffee and espresso needs. The best thing is how they prepare your coffee fresh - you choose the beans, choose the roast, and they handle the rest. This leads to a very reliable and consistent experience every time. It's insane the overall variety of beans and roasts they have, you'll be impressed!
Another major positive is their exceptional customer service. They provide great recommendations on how to prepare your coffee properly, and they're incredibly kind, especially to kids. They always give my son a sticker and chat with him, and even complimented his Anpanman shirt!
I highly recommend Mameya, especially to anyone who enjoys fresh, high-quality coffee and a personalized, friendly experience.
For the best experience, I recommend calling ahead for beans to be roasted. Alternatively, you can wait and enjoy a cup of coffee while they roast. Or enjoy the ambiance and study/work there for a bit, they have WiFi!
If you enjoy Mameya, you should also check out Brio Bakery and Cafe in Lake Forest - they serve Mameya coffee there!“

“We discovered this place when visiting Laguna in February…. So glad we did! Love the owners and what they represent. Loved so much we purchased a monthly subscription so we can enjoy their amazing coffee all the way in Alabama!“

“The place is in a great location sit here have your coffee course go bye you can see the mountains. The service is amazing for food. Amazing you recommended by me and many of my friends and family. They even have organic food, which is awesome and gluten-free.“

“Had a craving for coffee after walking by the beach so I googled spots nearby. With so many options (never Starbucks) I saw this one had a pretty fair amount of good reviews. It’s pretty small, not a lot of seating, but you’re by the beach so not really a priority.
I took a look at the specialty menu and I have to say, nothing too crazy. I settled in the cherries and cream latte. I didn’t really taste anything special. The coffee itself wasn’t bad, just didn’t stand out“

“Don't listen to the lonely negative review! I get my bowl made to my preference every time (unlike Craig Peters' post below). The staff ALWAYS respects my request to substitute blueberries for strawberries due to allergic reactions. Delicious and healthy, and never a hassle.“

“Very good coffee above corporate level, coffee institutions.“

“This is my favorite coffee in Orange County and I’m a coffee snob!!

First of all, they use organic coffee beans and organic whole milk as an automatic in the lattes!! This is literally my dream come true.

Each time I go, it feels like that small mom and pop coffee spot where you can have a convo with the barista and feel like it’s home.

The location is perfect. You have a view of the ocean and a few chairs and small tables to sit and drink with the view.

Whenever I’m on this side of OC, you’ll find me grabbing a 10oz latte from Equator.“

“Excellent high quality coffee, one of a kind flavor, plus very speedy delivery.“

“Omomo Matcha Taste so good“

“Today my friend took me to this new café, and even though I work at one, this café was designed with love and the service and food quality matched. Collin and Josh made our experience personable by tailoring our experience from beginning to end, even using my friend’s jewelry with her name on it to guess our name and ethnicity. Would recommend,“

“Reminds me of Hawaiian Coffee ❤️“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“New Fav coffee house! Awesome selection of fresh made grub, classic coffees, vibe and hospitality on point, nice change from 🌟bucks - give these guys a try!“

“Huge thank you to Wall Writers in Irvine! I showed up about 10 minutes after they closed, and they still kindly took my order because they understood I had driven there and took the time to stop by. I really appreciated their kindness and amazing customer service — it truly made my day. Btw their coffees are amazing, and the place is very cute. A must try!“

“This is my favorite local coffee shop in South OC! I love their iced lavender latte. They have a huge variety of flavors for coffee & more authentic tasting than a Starbucks. Wide variety of pastries, bagels, muffins, etc. All of their food is delicious & freshly made. I recommend the scramblers, salads & sandwiches. They have a nice patio for outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. The staff and owners are so sweet!

Vegetarian options: Dairy free options. Veggie based options.

Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate most dietary restrictions.

Parking: Large parking lot connected to Pavilions.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment.“

“Always love their expresso bean chocolate with every drink. I've tasted their cold brews and expresso shots with cold foam. All of which have great flavor. My new go to location.

Dietary restrictions: Almond milk, oatmilk substitutes available.“

“the black sesame mochidonut i got was cute and delicious, and the staff were all super nice! the sanitary conditions seem great, and i’ll definitely come back again sometime in the future. i’ll try a different flavor next time to see how it differs!“

“Absolutely incredible bakery! I stopped in and picked up a croissant and a chocolate bread, and both were beyond delicious—flaky, buttery, and perfectly fresh. You can really taste the quality and care put into each pastry. The croissant was crisp on the outside and soft inside, while the chocolate bread had the perfect balance of rich flavor without being too sweet. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a cozy, inviting vibe. I’m so glad I found this gem of a local bakery—definitely coming back for more. Highly recommend to anyone who loves quality baked goods!“

“This is one of my favorite bakeries!
The best part is that they offer not only pastries but also savory options like sandwiches and non-sweet baked goods.

You can always grab a slice or even a whole cake here, and they even sell birthday candles, which is a nice touch.

The only downside is that the sign at this location isn’t lit, so at first glance, it might seem like it’s closed.“

“I recently signed up for a coffee subscription with BHB Coffee, and I couldn’t be happier!

Their beans are top-notch, and they grind them perfectly for my Aeropress—makes every cup a dream.

Huge shoutout to their manager, El, for being super helpful, and to Aditi at the Alton Park location—she’s so polite and sincere, it’s always a pleasure interacting with her.

Amazing coffee and stellar customer service. Big fan here 👏“

“Beautiful cafe to work at:)“

“So far, all the food my family & I have tried is *BOMB*!! SO GOOD! Additionally, the sandwiches are BIG! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before I started eating, however, I'm hoping the full, half-sandwich & half-eaten other side of it still can show how big it is. The full sandwich is as big as the container!So glad daughter found this place. Originally, we were just looking for something quick to eat but son-in-law didn't want Taco Bell (same parking area). It's in the same building that services a gas station/car wash, so you wouldn't think it'd be as good as it is. But were we happily mistaken! We had ordered the food to go that time.It was so good, we went back again, but this time, we ate there. You couldn't ask for better service! They kept coming back to check on us to make sure everything was all right & to see if we needed anything. It's truly a cafe with little tables & chairs to sit at. Again, great customer service! At most other places, the people just stay behind the counter & never speak to you again after you order & get your food. PLEASE, if you're on the fence about trying it, don't pass it up! GO! You won't be disappointed!“

“Sometimes they have entertainment in the evening and the comedy show is the best! The tickets are $15, and the intimate venue make for a great evening of hilarious comedy.“

“Delicious coffee and cake at High Tide Coffee Laguna Niguel. One of my favorite places to visit.“

“One of the better coffee places in all of Southern California. Vietnamese code is their specialty and it’s a fantastic bean origin for delicious coffee drinks of all types. I normally get the hot Spanish Latte or an iced Americano, both of which I would highly recommend to anyone.“

“Definitely try the Borgia in the morning and the Santa Margarita Iced Tea in the afternoon! Both are unique drinks that offer something a little different from the usual coffee/ tea choices.“

“First time visiting this small community coffee shop after Suda closed at the same location. While many people were inside, it never felt too crowded. Sitting areas were divided, it was easy to order from the counter. The taste of coffee and drink were OK, nothing special or outstanding compared to other small, specialized coffee shops in OC. Staffs and cashier were friendly, I will probably visit this place again when driving by Northwood Irvine area.“

“Excellent art-inspired bakery treats. Sean (sp?) and his team’s hospitality is top-shelf.“

“This Capital One Cafe is conveniently located in the Spectrum Mall. It offers a nice hangout spot and as thus is somewhat more crowded than the regular Capital One Cafes. I got a Matcha Latte. It was decent, somewhat milkier than it strong.“

“I would recommend Sea Salt + Basil to anyone I know. The staff is always kind and accommodating, but even more, the owner Ed is one of the most thoughtful and passionate workers I've encountered. Above all, the food is DELICIOUS. I recently just tried the tocino chicken avocado sandwich and it was to die for! The vegetables are always fresh and flavorful while the chicken is always tender and juicy. I highly recommend eating here or even just grabbing something from the refrigerator section while you enjoy the spacious, calm ambiance inside.“

“Love Peets much more than Starbucks“

“Just fantastic. I just love being able to talk coffee and enjoy really great espresso shots and drinks with someone like Nick who knows the art of making espresso and their ways with the coffee beans.

We first tried a double shot espresso shot with their Espresso Blend, and it has great complexity and flavor with lingering chocolate finish, but the real surprise treat was when he pulled a blonde shot with the Uganda light roast. I've never had a light roast as espresso and I was surprised at how good it was! So much so that I bought a whole bag of the Uganads Light Roast to try at home!

This is a worthwhile store to go to and I'd choose this over Starbucks any day of the week!“

“Cute yummy açaí place!

Interior is so cute with clean decors. We ordered the cali bowl, ube dream bowl and pandan bowl. Asides from preset bowls, you can choose base and toppings freely.

The fruits are fresh and I love how they have more toppings than other places such as the hemp granola, sunflower seeds, almond butter etc. They also have a new Pandan base. The ube dream bowl is probably my favorite because of the unique base and taste more like a dessert

Service is friendly!

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“Love the drive thru!!! So convenient with very good customer service �“

“Clean and open. The coffee and smoothies are spot on. Everyone working there seems to be a bit of a “coffee nerd”. They really know their coffee! I would recommend it to anyone that prefers a higher quality coffee.“

“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make. I take their pastry to all my friends and to every gathering that I am invited to. I am so glad to support a local business, which is providing quality food and excellent services.“

“The baked goods here are so delicious and the woman behind the treats was so lovely herself! I found this place after an appointment in the area, got four different macarons and one of the honey cakes. Wow. Insane, everything. The strawberry raspberry and the Dubai flavor macarons were far and away my favorite, but everything was insane. The honey cake was amazing too, very different from anything I’ve had yet but loved it. Will be back again.“

“Best breakfast’s place in town Nice terrace Food is good with a lot of choices“

“Came in while visiting family and WOW! Such a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were immediately greeted by Charlene who was super kind and helped us with all of our questions. She recommended a horchata iced latte for my husband and he LOVED IT. And for me, a best drink ever with cinnamon foam and it was top tier! Super friendly and fast service despite how busy it was while we were there, she kept a smile on her face while taking our order as well as making it and serving it to us. 10/10 for Better Buzz!“

“Laurie Nick and Kaylee !! Wonderful people doing excellent customer service! Had an issue with another locations remade drink and they were happy to replace it.. the other location just couldn't seem to make it per the starbucks recipe (super wasteful on time & ingredients)..but this location did it right the first time..well I was back again because that same location couldnt keep up with their mobile orders causing it to be an overall, 25 minute wait...which would have made us late so we had to leave.. :( thinking we should just make this one our location.. Nick is a great manager ... with Kaylee knowing her recipe...all are very personable and seemingly a wonderful team!“

“I love this great cafe and hang out spot. I came for breakfast and worked for a while using the free wifi. The coffee was great (horchata latte was amazing). The breakfast burrito was big sized. I probably could have split it with my girlfriend and been satisfied. The service was superb. The barista immediately helped me reprint my receipt, even remembering my order by memory. The gentleman changed my cash with his own money so that I could tip (he didn't know why). The vibes here are really chill with a great outdoor space also.“

“Looking for great food and great service in a relaxing, friendly environment ? Look no further as the Belgium Waffle Haus is 'your' place. They have a wide selection of various specialties for breakfast/brunch/lunch - whatever your palate is craving for. And a nice way to treat yourself!“

“Andrew and the rest of the great staff at my local Peet's coffee in Lake Forest, operate this place like a well oiled machine. Not only are you greeted by name with a big smile. You're going to receive probably some of the best customer service around Lake Forest. Andrew is an amazing Barista, fast, efficient, great attitude always, and a very good, hard worker. I just wanted to thank you guys for always making me feel like I'm at home. You all deserve a raise, in my book!“

“Nothing could go wrong with the ice cream here! I have not tried any of the shakes but the ice cream at Honeymee specifically is something that I will crave once in a while. The parking is in a plaza so there’s plenty. 10/10!! I recommend the brown sugar boba or the classic honeymee ice cream.“

“This shop has teas, little bites and ice cream. Came for the bobo tea and ordered a guava match latte. They use real milk here, but have non dairy option. The matcha guava was a nice blend and with boba hit the spot. I ordered it with 0 sugar and for me it was sweet enough already.
I need to come back and try the ice cream one day.“
