“This has to be one of the best Starbucks in the area! The staff is incredibly kind and always greet you with a smile. The store is always clean and the drinks are made perfect. If your order isnt correct, they'll fix it. If your pup needs a pup cup they'll get it. The staff and store is simply the BEST!“

“Overall, this is a pretty good Starbucks to go stop by. The staff is always super friendly and services is always pretty quick. I have been going here for quite a few years and almost always have a good experience. The bathrooms could use a little more but outside of that, the place is looking good.

Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate dietary restrictions and help out quite a bit.
I would say they have a variety of different milk options to accommodate most people.“

“Amazing coffee and food. Very good ingredients.“

“Toastique Ladera Ranch is an exceptional addition to our community. The Tomato Burrata toast is my favorite. Their fresh juices are equally excellent and complement the meals perfectly.

The owners are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which makes the experience even better. It’s wonderful to support a family-owned business that truly cares about its customers and the community.

I’m genuinely excited to have this healthy, thoughtfully curated spot in Ladera Ranch, and I know I’ll be returning often.“

“I usually come to this location every 3 months or so because my daughter’s foot specialist is located nearby. ( we live about 2 hours away) every time I come, I’ve always had a very good experience. However, today was possibly the BEST one. I was walking in with my daughter (she’s a year old) the manager, I think he was one, was walking our same way, but walked a bit faster and opened the door and waited for us to come inside! That was very helpful, especially because both of my arms were busy. Then, while in the play place, we met Nubia. She was so kind and so hard working! They do their best to keep the place so clean. The high chairs looked cleaner than my baby’s chair at home, no offense to me! ? She was so sweet to my little girl as well and ensured everything was nice and clean for us. There was also a gentleman with glasses who was constantly cleaning as well but I didn’t get to ask his name. But I am so thankful to see such a great team. I thanked Nubia for her hard work and efforts to keep us feeling good here and she reversed Uno on me and told ME thank you for just being there!! Wow, talk about A+ kindness! Overall, great service and customer care. We will probably ALWAYS come here after each doctor visit. Lol“

“I've been buying my coffee beans here for the last year and a half, and Daisuke and Taka have always been friendly and helpful. When I mentioned on my first visit that I'd just bought an espresso machine, they reminded me to wait 4-5 days before making coffee with fresh beans so I wouldn't have a bad experience.

The beans are really, really good!“

“The breakfast sandwich is absolutely incredible. Just a meld of flavors that I couldn’t replicate if I tried. Excited to try more food when I’m back in the area, and Tim is so kind and clearly takes pride in everything that he makes. A delicious sandwich and lovely experience!“

“Aloha Açaí is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, the energy is so welcoming and refreshing..you instantly feel at home. The bowls are vibrant, fresh, and packed with flavor, and it’s the perfect spot to slow down, relax, and just get lost for an afternoon.

It’s more than just a place to eat..it’s an experience that leaves you feeling nourished and uplifted. 🌺✨“

“Wow! I had the best coffee and my husband a delicious smoothie prepared by Ethan!!! Congratulations! Awesome atmosphere!!!! We loved it and will recommend this place a 100%! Keep up with the good job!! Thank you Ethan!!!!!“

“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.“

“Great view, amazing employees, and awesome vanilla latte. I highly recommend. Great vibe!“

“Listen heroes, every person is hustling to serve the customer well. The bathroom is basically edible and I could eat off any section of it. I was served by a lovely gal named Christian who has a smile as big as a house. The great baristas behind the counter made my drink in like 3 seconds. Highly recommend. Will be back as I come through here for work.“

“Decent spot for coffee, but the real draw here is the vibes.

Steps away from the ocean! And a great people-watching bench outside alongside some small tables.

Coffee (got a latte) was okay. But loved the location and much-needed bathroom haha“

“This coffee is amazing. I live in Kentucky and the coffee i received was well packaged and very very fresh and packaged air tight. way better than the big store chain. I was on a search to find a very low caffeine coffee that tastes o.k. and I found it! It tastes wonderful.“

“Chocobean is my favorite way to start the day! The coffee is always fantastic — the toasted almond is my go-to. On a hot day, their iced coffee hits the spot, and the iced tea is just as refreshing. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. We’re lucky to have such a great spot in the neighborhood!“

“Wall Writers is a hidden gem in Irvine with a modern, cozy vibe and plenty of seating. The menu goes beyond the basics with unique drinks like ube lattes, pandan matcha, and pistachio lattes. Definitely worth trying. Prices are a bit higher, but the quality and creativity make up for it. It can get busy, but overall it’s a great spot to study, hang out, or grab something different from your usual coffee run“

“My coworker & I stop for coffee everyday at Equator and have yet to have a negative experience. Always very thoughtful, hospitable, & hardworking staff. My coworker has had many of their food items and they always slap no matter what he gets. He was almost moved to tears today by the flavors of the breakfast sandwich. Thanks for a great experience!“

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

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

“Fantastic coffee! Would definitely recommend.“

“Great little place, outdoor space is awesome and when it's hot out, you can sit inside the wine cellar next door! Food is great, yes like the others mentioned its a bit overpriced. But everything we have ordered has always been good and fresh. It's my go-to place to meet clients and to get a quick drink or bite to eat! Thanks!“

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

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

“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“

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

“Since this drive thru coffee shop came into my life I haven’t been back to Starbucks! Love their sugar free options, the breakfast foods are tasty. My fave is the jalapeno biscuit breakfast sandwich. The staff is awesome, always friendly and every drink comes with a little chocolate covered espresso bean!“

“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!“

“What a treat. We tried Better Buzz Coffee in Laguna Hills and wow! The ham and cheese croissant, pastries, coffee and cappuccino were fantastic. The food and service was stellar. They have a drive thru which makes it quite convenient and this place appears to be a neighborhood gem.
Highly recommended“

“I’m from SC. I wanted to surf fish while here and brought a rod/reel with me on the plane. I’m here for 5 days total. On day 1 I wanted to try a local doughnut. I saw they had gluten free. I don’t need it but my kids do. I bought some from a dude in a flannel shirt. I thought it weird, but it’s California so whatever. I got them back to the place we were staying and we all sampled about six different doughnuts. 🤯 OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I’m a Krispy Kreme lifer but DANG THESE ARE GOOD. Today I went back and bought 6 more. These are expensive so there went my fishing budget but it’s worth it because my kids and enlaws loved it. My father enlaw said the maple bacon should be illegal it’s so good. Listen there are a lot of choices here but if you are going to try just 1 or several this should be your first stop and if like me it will be the only one you need. I’m not big on California, sorry, but the only thing better than the weather and scenery are these incredible doughnuts. 🤯“

“I’m surprised nobody talks about the quality of the coffee here. Of course the atmosphere feels like home and a place you can just exist at for a few hours, of course the location is great, of course the staff is friendly. That’s obvious, but the coffee is top tier. Way better than it has a right to be considering how damned honey it is. And they don’t even brag about it. Here they are this perfect little coffee shop quietly serving the best iced Spanish latte in Orange County and I’ve tried them all.

Unfortunately they’re slightly out of my way and I work nights so I don’t get them often and I don’t have a picture, but this is the coffee I tell stories about, the coffee that I literally write home about, the coffee that I dream of when I choke down another bitter espresso from Starbucks or another sugary barely coffee from Dutch.

Miss you guys and hopefully I’ll see you soon.“

“I visited Diotoma on a Friday around 11:30 AM. The parking lot is quite small so I had to circle for parking and there was a line. However, don't let that deter you from coming. There were so many delicious looking pastries, cookies, and cakes (I also saw some people had sandwiches). I had to wait about 20 min to order pastries and another 10 min or so for a coffee drink. So the entire visit took about 30 min. We got the pain cookie (pain suisse filled with brown butter butterscotch cookie dough), Korean salt bread, and mixed berry custard tart. The mixed berry custard tart is make with the same croissant dough so it's crispy and flakey, but it softens quickly due to the custard filling. However, the custard filling is generous and very silky. The Korean salt bread was a simple savory loaf. For me, the star was the pain cookie. The cookie dough was appropriately soft and chocolatey and the pastry was really flakey and crispy. I would go back just for the pain cookie but there was so many other interesting looking pastries. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you like pastries. I will definitely be swinging by here again the next time I'm in the area.“

“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.“

“While on my morning walk I found this cute lil cafe that sits directly on the beach by the San Clemente Pier. My son got the bagel breakfast sandwich & coffee, my daughter got the nutella toast & I got the acai bowl. We all thought our food was good. We will def be back on our next visit there!“

“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!“

“Small little cafe with pastries, cakes, ice cream and coffee. There are a few seats right outside or you can sit in the general seating area which has plenty of tables and chairs. Service was quick and the place seemed popular. Coffee was good.“

“Loved everything about our first trip to Picnic. Greeted by Camryn with a terrific smile and she guided through the menu answering all of our questions about the various menu items and beverages. She also pointed the other wonderful personalized services Picnic offers including special events , a design your charteutrie boa“

“Great food/drink. Nice patio.“

“Great coffee, limited food items. Tons of indoor tables for seating (even a huge square bar -- no alcohol and you order at the same place as everyone and bring your coffee and any snack to the bar seat you select) -- and outdoor seats/tables on Avenita Del Mar for people watching.“

“The staff is great. They are always very friendly and make the drinks fast.“

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

“CUP offers a great patio seating area and a pleasant atmosphere. It’s quite busy on a Saturday morning, but the environment is still enjoyable. There’s ample space for kids and dogs to run around. The food selection is limited, but the items they offer are high-quality. They also have gluten-free and dairy-free options. The ambiance is casual and comfortable, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. I would like to see the menu expanded to include more specialty drinks and food items.“

“The Best coffee I've ever had. Nice outdoor seating. Friendly staff!“

“Had some business to handle and needed a chair, internet, and caffeine - this place made my work away from home incredibly comfortable, convenient, and delicious. The coffee was incredible, and the waves down the block made this place my favorite coffee spot in town.“

“We love the Rootbeer Float and Banana Split Ice Cream here ... 👈🤔🤫😜😋😂🤣“
