20 Best Coffee Shops in Laguna Beach

“I have been here to visit Shark Bay for many years.The service is always fast, this is my favorite Acai berry shop.“

“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 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:)“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The Pantry is a cozy coffee shop offering a great selection of coffee, teas, and light bites. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Friendly service and quality drinks make it a local favorite.“

“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.“

“Great food/drink. Nice patio.“

“just love this hole in the wall. Its the best“

“A really nice employee named Michael was busy doing his closing work about 10 minutes after the store closed. Me and my young daughter who desperately wanted a Pink Drink walked up…but the store was closed. I took a chance, and called the store to see if they would make one for her. Michael happily made Holly her Pink Drink, and brought it to the side door with a chocolate chip cookie too!! He didn’t let me pay for either item!! That’s awesome customer service. He made our Friday night!! Thank you Michael and Starbucks LB 💕 Debbie & Holly R.“

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

“I appreciate the people and especially Isabel the barista , she gives great water.“

“Delicious menu and excellent staff! I’ve visited this Rye Goods location a few times and can’t say anything negative. The coffee is fantastic—which is hard to find in this area. My favorite menu item is the “Seasonal Fruit Ricotta Toast,” always prepared to perfection. Definitely worth a visit!“

“A nice small café with a boutique attached. It felt to me like an original breakfast place with unique menu items.

Your order at the counter where you can also see the daily specials, and then you sit where you want.

The food actually came pretty fast.
The hot chocolate was nice - it wasn’t too thick and didn’t seem over sweet. The foam was actually nice to have!
There is an effort in presentation as you can see from the pictures.
We all liked it. I tried a bit of the swedish pancakes, it is very sweet and heavy as you can expect, but enjoyable!
The Eggs Anna were definitely original with that sauce. It was very interesting. I’m not gonna say it’s the best thing I ever had, but it was good.

It was farmers’ market, but we didn’t struggle to find a place to sit.
For parking, you need to find in the city - but, the place is not far from the main areas, so convenient. You just walk a few blocks.

Overall, a cool spot - we were not sure where to go and wanted a more local place. So, I guess we found it!“

“Can’t go wrong with Shirley’s! Order ahead online or call and beat the line!“

“What a wonderful place to come and visit the most beautiful cats in Laguna 😻 #Adoptcats #Catsmosphere #CatDad“

“Took some chocolate chip cookies home to El Paso, Texas, & made monster ice cream sandwiches with them. Our customers LOVE them & return often for more. Thanks Jan.“
