50 Best Cafes near Laguna Hills

“Such a wonderful experience and it’s right in my backyard! A warm welcome at the door. Prompt and attentive service. A hot tea service that I didn’t know I was even missing in my life! Fresh warm pita for the humus and the juiciest chicken Zoltan of my existence.“

“Such a gem! 🧁✨ Just checked out the new Vanilla Street Bakery and loved it! 😍 The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and the team was super friendly and kind. They made us feel right at home! 🙌💛

We tried a few things, and the Cheesecake 🍰 and Honey Cake 🍯 were amazing! Seriously, don't leave without trying them! 🤤 We also had the Baklava, which wasn't quite what I expected. It wasn't bad at all, I'm just more into the Turkish/Persian style. Still worth a try if you're curious! 😉

I'll definitely be back! 🔁 It's a great spot for a casual meeting or an afternoon hangout with friends over coffee and something sweet. ☕👯‍♀“

“so yeah we came back again because honestly their pastries are just too good to stay away for long the pistachio thing i always forget the name but its flaky and not too sweet which i love

coffee is consistently good too strong enough but not bitter and they don't mess with it too much just wish they had a few more savory options for later in the day stuff like a simple egg sandwich or a frittata nothing fancy because sometimes you want a little more than just sweets but it is what it is

been coming here for a while now and its never let me down really chill spot to sit and read or half work on something while you pick at your plate“

“Love the pastries and bought a cake“

“Love our first time here this morning. Better croissants than we had in France and we thought they were good! Outstanding quality and you can tell everything is made with 100% pride, care, compassion and love. Will definitely go back more than once! Goodbye diet!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“This was my first time coming into this coffee shop, the barista recommended the spiced chai tea. My drink came out perfect, they have a wide selection of drinks to choose from as well as food options! I’ll definitely have to come back and try more items from the menu. Very welcoming atmosphere and friendly customer service highly recommend giving this place a visit!“

“The definition of a local hole in the wall, one-man show. Tim is cranking out orders and still has the sweetness to chat with his customers. Breakfast sandwich is delicious and just the right portion. Coffee is rich, strong, and not bitter. This is what coffee shops should be—local, intimate, quaint, and friendly. Props to Tim for supporting local law enforcement.

Heads up: they stop serving food at 12.“

“Great food/drink. Nice patio.“

“Great donuts and excellent service“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“This place is a retreat, heaven and happy place. I love it all. ❤️🌱“

“Delicious Dinner. Beautiful presentation and the Carnitas Tacos unbelievable. Chef Michael is a true gem.“

“​If you appreciate a beautifully structured cup of coffee, True Love is a must-visit. They take their craft seriously and it shows in their deliciously executed and ever-changing pour-overs.

If you have an adventurous palate, you have to try their co-ferment. I gravitate toward complex, layered flavors that lean into that crisp, side-of-the-tongue depth, and it hits the mark perfectly! Iced Co-ferment on a warm summer day is magic.“

“Great food and awesome service! Perfect place for brunch 😋“

“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.“

“This place is great for friends to gather and chat. The service is excellent and the food is quite good. The garlic noodle with shrimp is slightly spicy and quite delicious. Crab toast is also a good choice. recommend to friends and come back again.“

“Don't miss this wonderful place. Once you try BrioBrio's delicious food, you'll regret you hadn"t discovered It before. Thanks Naoko and Ruichi for feeding our body and soul!!!“

“I had such a great experience at Wall Strawberry Cafe! The food was absolutely delicious and tasted fresh and homemade. The matcha was amazing and definitely one of my favorites!
Our server was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. We add a cookie for dessert which tasted so good, it was moist, and had these double layers of rich chocolate filling that made it so tasty!
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was excellent, and overall we had such a nice time. I would definitely recommend this cafe and I can’t wait to come back!“

“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:)“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

“Delicious 🥰familiale belle vague 🌊 beach 🏝️☀️“

“It was a great spot for a quiet chat with friends. I wasn't sure if the person serving us was an employee or the owner, but they were incredibly friendly—and the food was delicious, too! It’s the kind of place I’d almost rather keep all to myself.“

“The chef puts out unique and delicious pizzas, pastas, daily specials and desserts. Very unique location too!“

“Great food and views. recommended“

“Hello this is an Oregonian
I want to state that The hello kitty mobile truck was outside of a local mall yesterday September 12,2026
And went there for the first time to order from the mobile truck
I purchased the hello kitty macaroons
And the 3 pc cookie set.
But the macaroons were better taste in my opinion it has more flavor than the 3pc cookie set.“

“My wife & I have been eating at The Broken Yolk Cafe in Irvine for several years now and we absolutely love the delicious food and the wonderful service, particularly via our regular server Alicia. She has such a positive attitude and shares our love of dogs. She always makes sure to bring our dog Maizie a bowl of water and a pup cup whenever we go there. I cannot recommend this Broken Yolk location and Alicia enough.“

“The food is all amazing - family favorites are the Bacon Quiche (it goes fast), the pasta salad and the lavender lattes!😍“

“Oatmeal wax delicious as well as decaf cappuccino 😁👍“

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

“Apparently my skincare routine comes on toast now. 😂

This is Toastique in Ladera Ranch, and this place basically looks like a wellness mood board you can eat.

First, the Avocado Smash Toast.
Avocado, watermelon radish, marinated tomatoes and chili — almost too pretty to eat.
Almost.
Then the Mango Tango Smoothie Bowl with mango, pineapple, lime and coconut water. This one just tastes like summer.
For something refreshing, I tried the Radiance Over Ice — grapefruit, orange, blood orange, pineapple and basil.
And of course, a Matcha Latte because apparently I’m in my wellness era now. 😂
Coffee, fresh juices, smoothie bowls, and these ridiculously Instagrammable toasts.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Excellent everything!!!!!“

“Amazing coffee and food. Very good ingredients.“

“I eat here about once a month. Honestly, it is the only place to eat within 1/2 a mile of here. The service is very good, positive environment and when you are done you walk the grounds of Mariner's Church and stroll past babbling brooks, ponds, olive trees, and read a little scripture along the way.Positive environment and pretty easy to be social here. Open and safe environment.“

“the coffee is a good price“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Nikki's has the best machaca burritos around. I get them all the time. They are HUGE and so delicious!“

“Love Vegan and Gluten Free Options. So happy here !“

“A beautiful morning at Crystal Cove...7AM reservation at a table with great views of the ocean and our smiling server, Oscar, welcoming us with strong hot coffees & cream. Perfect. I enjoyed a typical breakfast that was perfectly prepared to my order: poached eggs, extra crispy potatoes & bacon with rye toast and blackberry jam. My lovely partner was overwhelmed by the tasty gigantic "Savory Spinach & Mushroom Crepe". It would easily feed two people. Oscar was very attentive and often stopped by with more hot coffee. Delightful.“

“Really enjoyed my stay! The rooms were quiet and comfortable, the hotel bar was fantastic, and the room service was excellent. Loved the thoughtful little amenities—they really made a difference.“

“I mostly always build my own omelette and its always amazing. Great fast service with a smile😎“

“Nothing is better than fresh croissant! Great family owned place. Very friendly prices. Signature Butter Croissants baked daily. The taste is balances, very mild sweet as I like, texture is between the super fluffy croissant and the bun, I really liked it. The chocolate croissant was a totally different story, check the picture. The taste was like it was baked sometime this week :) and the texture was like it is a bun with chocolate. So do not expect the same excitement from their chocolate croissant as from their signature plain croissants, which are super awesome and could be used for French toast and sandwiches as well and any filling. Next time I will take fresh plain croissant and fill it with chocolates home :) Next time we will try their breakfast / lunch menu. It looks awesome and the customers I met were happy. Update: amazing place with unique home character, loving breakfast here“

“Best Matcha and Hochija in town!! if you’re a millennial, you might feel old walking into this place because it’s a bunch of college students. There might not be much room to sit either… But I don’t care because the Matcha flights and Hochija are unmatched!! I always try different Matcha spots, and I feel fortunate to have one of the legit best tea options in my town. 🤗“

“the coffee is a good price“

“Always enjoy staying at the Waldorf Astoria. Nice escape, great location, attentive staff. Perfect getaway.“

“Awesome service! Great desserts. Shout out to the guy taking orders. Very patient and kind. Gave my son milk to wash down his desserts. Yum yum“

“This is a great little sandwich shop. It's locally owned and bakes its own bread every day. My favorite is their Vietnamese Chicken sandwich, which has a light garlic sauce that is heavenly. I also like their vegetarian veggie + humus on pita bread. But they have many other delicious sandwiches as well. I discovered last year that they prepare sandwich trays for group events. They haven't registered with UCI but we always pick them up and then get reimbursed from a UCI account. Their prices are much lower than, say, Mendocino Farms and UCI catering and, needless to say, the quality of what they offer is head and shoulders above UCI catering. Give them a try.“

“This place has awesome food, i just love coming here for lunch on most work days! I HIGHLY recommend this place!“

“Yummy food, great drinks and service!“

“Amazing food and service!“
