50 Best Coffee Shops near Foothill Ranch

“Love this place. Nice vibe. Not your chain store coffee house or lunch stop.“

“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.“

“For reference, I usually don’t like coffee and generally prefer tea as a drink. That being said, I come here semi-often for roasted beans as gifts for other people, and the service is A+++ immaculate every time. I’m not knowledgeable about coffee beans but the workers will gladly answer any of your questions about the myriad of beans they have on display. They’ll also roast the beans for you, which will take about ~10 minutes or so.

I’ve also had one of their iced coffees and I loved the taste (though caffeine makes me hyper so I usually don’t drink anything with it that much). Highly highly recommend!!!“

“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!“

“great coffee shop. First time there. great coffee and strawberry scone. yummy. enjoyed it thoroughly. Will return for sure“

“This is a very charming café that, in my opinion, serves coffee with a strong and bold flavor. I also appreciate that they offer a decaf option.
Additionally, they have a small merchandise section where you can buy some clothing, hats, tote bags, and more.
Also, they have nice tables outside and inside.“

“Reminds me of Hawaiian Coffee ❤️“

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

“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.“

“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,“

“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.“

“Amazing coffee shop! First time here and staff was really helpful and recommended several drinks. Breakfast burrito is delicious. I tried the Honey Cinnamon Hot Latte and Strawberry white mocha Latte and both were delicious! ?
D-LO recommended ??

“The ube soft serve and souffle pancakes were amazing. Some rude lady brought in a dog and lied to the staff about it being a service dog and demanded a refund for her drink, but that's not on the establishment. The staff was excellent and very polite.“

“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!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Crack Coffee for the win!“

“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:)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow, I just took a bite out of the guava cream cheese croissant and I’m blown away! So deliciously creamy and crispy. The guava is like a jam that is perfectly balanced (sweet, but not overly so). The croissant is both fluffy and crispy in all the right ways. The iced saffron and cardamom latte was also so good! I took a leap and tried something new and was not disappointed—in fact my expectations were fully exceeded coming to Diotima. Kian and the staff were so kind. The other customers were also so sweet. Kian is cultivating an amazing, friendly community. Next time I’ll eat in and have my coffee and baked goods because the ambiance is so wonderful. Thank you, Diotima!“

“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.“

“I went to Cup and was greeted by Anika. She was so helpful and kind. I was unsure of what to order and she patiently explained all the different drinks to me. She also recommended the iced dark Spanish latte, which was absolutely delicious. I'll be back soon“

“I got the New Orleans iced coffee. I may be spoiled from the New Orleans coffee back home but this was entirely too sweet. The coffee itself was pretty good but it was overly sweet and syrupy. However the staff do a great job and are very personable, so still four stars.“

“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.“

“Their pastry was beautiful with quality to match. I tried a savory stuffed croissant and a sweet one. Both were delicious.“

“Pretty cool place but it’s pretty noisy .. the offices are great but walls are made from tissue paper .. common area is spot on but you need to be early for a good spot .. ample free parking spaces .. bikes for short commutes to your favorite restaurants .. great place for studying or intensive reading with your headphones of course“

“Went here twice New Year’s eve weekend as we were staying with family friends in the area. Convenient location, good selection of drinks, friendly staff. I got iced lattes both days (white mocha and honey vanilla). Boyfriend got vanilla cold brew and a salted caramel latte (both recommendations from the baristas). All our drinks were so good! We also had the almond croissant & nutella croissant. Other pastries looked great too! Would come again if we end up in the area!“

“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 love coming here to get work done. The coffee by Verve is great. The honey lavender latte strikes the perfect balance between familiarly sweet and unexpectedly new. great location. convnient parking. it gets busy after basically 10AM so its a pain finding a seat.“

“Beautiful cafe to work at:)“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“While I don't have pictures, I wanted to share a review. I was hosting a 10-person lunch meeting and wanted to try something new. Each person ordered something different and everyone was pleased and satisfied. The chicken wrap had fabulous flavors. The salads were divine. We will be ordering again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This coffee shop is located in Irvine close to 405 exit and also somewhat close to Newport Beach. It is in a plaza with an Asian emphasis. Ordered their signature house coffee hot. The taste was good. It was both sweet and sour like a chocolate with sea salt. The good thing is that they are open until midnight ⭐️ The interior design is okay and gives a coffee shop feeling but can improved. You can find a seat relatively easily. The table I seat was not much clean but was okay.“

“Love Peets much more than Starbucks“

“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.“

“The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. The coffee is nice, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to recommend something new or make your favorite drink just the way you like it. Higly recommend“

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

“My weekday morning hang out for the past 10 years before going to work.“

“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.“

“This is a proper breakfast spot. As a former chef, I am not easily pleased but I was immediately and pleasantly surprised by their food.. My wife and I have been to many of the more popular/trending spots in socal, and this place beats them all. No huge lines (which is great, but frankly a shame because this place really deserves it), polite & pleasant staff, and hands down the best waffles we have ever tasted.

Ill put it to you this way, I have half a mind to get a moving van and shove the whole lot of instagram-following, line-standing, thoughtless bunch that gathers at these so called "Best Breakfast in O.C." places, into said van and bring them here. If not to wipe the smug smirks off their faces, then to at least let them have one REAL waffle in their likes/follows lives.

I may have gone on a tangent. Belgian Waffle House is genuinely amazing food. You can taste that everything was made fresh and minutes ago. Not unfrozen for your (their) convenience. This place is 100% recommended and became an instant top spot on our list.

Thank you to the staff for being wonderfully patient as we navigated the menu for the first time, and to our server for following us around as we tried to find the patio spot with the best shade.“
