Restaurants in Laguna Niguel

“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.”

“I came in with my 10 year old daughter and we thought the food was amazing. The mango lassi was a perfect refresher on a hot summer day and the food was filling and had great flavor.”

“A Japanese coffee roaster focused on hand-brewed coffee - I really enjoyed the Ecuador pour-over which tasted clean and bright. The beans are all roasted on site, with a massive selection available to purchase. It was refreshing to visit a cafe so dedicated to the craft of pour-over coffee!”

“Crispy Palau chart fish Tikka lamb meat balls chicken sandwiches all were amazing”

“Delicious, freshly made gyros to order. We ordered a beef/lamb and the chicken souvlaki pitas. We ordered with some modifications with sauce switch outs and they came out just as I ordered. Nice atmosphere & patio area too. Great service too! We are coming back regularly.”

“So healthy and tastes like a treat!”

“My family and I usually love Jizake and have been to this place multiple times over the years. However after last nights dinner not sure if we will come back. The first issue is that the server forgot to bring us 3 of our appetizers. I also noticed that my hot sake wasn't very hot and that they have trimmed down the size of their rolls. During the meal it became obvious to all of us outside that they were using a wifi speaker and whoesever phone it was hooked up to must have been moving around since the music was going in and out. Lastly while asking for the check I instructed the server to take the appetizers off our bill since we didn't receive them. He said he would and when he came back I was given a hand written bill with the break down. To his credit those appetizers were shown but not charged. I totaled up each line item and everything seemed correct as the subtotal was $170 with tax total should have been $183.17. However after taking my credit card he came back saying they totaled our bill incorrectly and apologized. Our new printed bill after charging my credit card didn't show the pricing break down for all the items but it appears that they added back in the money for the appetizers as with tax it came to $196.11 plus tip. By this point we just wanted to leave. After getting home we started not feeling so well. We don't usually have any bad reactions to sushi so maybe it was some sort of cross contamination issue. Either way I would caution everyone while eating at this establishment.”

“What a fabulous place. Went there to celebrate mutual birthdays with my BFF. I loved everything about this restaurant. Our bartender was fabulous, our meal, Branzino.. delicious, eye appealing, beautiful presentation and enough to split We met the owner who spent ample time with us as we asked questions about his journey opening the location, his background and the concept/vision for the restaurant and we met the GM. I loved the ambiance, open and welcoming and they have a mercado with authentic product. Next time I'm going to the pizza bar with some more birthday girls!”

“butter and cream pizza is such a cute local spot and definitely one you need to check out! i love that they use all organic ingredients and are seed oil free, which makes enjoying the food even better. the burrata pepperoni and honey pizza was so good, with the perfect combination of creamy burrata, savory pepperoni, and sweet honey. their ranches are also amazing and pair so well with the pizza. they have such a wide selection of cookies for every sweet tooth, and the dirty sodas are so refreshing, especially in this heat. definitely recommend stopping by, trying a little bit of everything, and supporting this local small business!
shoutout to abbie (i might be spelling it wrong) for being so kind and welcoming!! the owner Natalie is extremely talented and hardworking i can’t wait to come back for more!!

“I have had many of Shadi’s cakes for different occasions and celebration; I have to say, they are all so delicious and mouthwatering. Her apple Tart Tatin is to die for! Her cheese cakes are out of this world! Especially her Mars cheese cake is absolutely one of a kind. You have to try it to believe how delicious they are. Banana lovers, you must try her chocolate chip banana cake! It’s so yummy 🤤 Also as a person Shadi is as sweet or I should say truthfully sweeter than her Sweets 😉 She is always smiling and so pleasant to work with. You have a double advantage , not only you get a beautifully decorated cake it’s also super yummy and delicious that you have to fight over the crumbs! I highly recommend her to everyone!”

The Toro Tasting is amazing. The décor is modern and inviting, the drinks are inventive, and the dessert selection is a sweet surprise. Their sake list is impressive — don’t miss the sake flight, it’s a must-try!””

“I absolutely love cookies, and after discovering Crumbl it quickly became my go to place for dessert! They have fun new flavors being added to their rotation, while also keeping a few of their signature cookies on the menu.
I personally love the Chocolate Chunk Cookie & I hadn’t seen it on the menu recently.
I called the Laguna Niguel location off of Aliso Creek and La Paz to inquire about whether or not that specific cookie would be on the menu.
The staff member I spoke to (Sam) was very friendly and informed me that they had recently made a “twist” to the classic Chocolate Chunk cookie, combining it with another one of their signature cookies the Semi Sweet Chocolate Chip Cookie. Intrigued by this new concoction I had to order it and taste it for myself! Review TBA 🍪

I just wanted to give a personal thank you to Sam for her information, recommendation & friendly service.”

“For the last few months at least I once a week. I stop in for lunch. I go there cause the pizza store is too bougie, for me. Since the remodel . It was good well it lasted. So I go to Ball park pizza now. Always hits”

“The best sandwiches, I originally had this way back in the day in San Diego and am so happy they’re everywhere now in OC.

The most unique sandwiches and their sauce is 12 out of 10!

There is a new hot sauce, I absolutely love it- great addition to the menu that’s otherwise perfect.”

“Didn't look like much from the outside, but inside is very nice. The couples tables tho, are way too close together and so cluttered. There isn't enough room for your plate and drink.....but....food was delicious!

I had the halibut with mango salsa. OMG.... Delicious!! My bf had the shrimp n pasta. He said it was very good but the halibut was better. You absolutely need to try the beet salad. So many flavors. For dessert we had the lemon cheesecake. It was mouth watering.

Service was too rushed. I got my beet salad and 4 min later I received my dinner plate.

Even though there were a few hiccups, we did have a pleasant evening and we'll be back.”

“I recommend Board & Brew one hundred percent! It’s always a pleasure to go there for a sandwich and a beer; the hardworking staff are very friendly and provide excellent service.”

“I went through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru and jokingly asked the guy at the window if he could sprinkle some love on my food. Without missing a beat, he blew a kiss to my bag and even made a heart with his hands! It absolutely made my day. It was one of the sweetest customer service experiences I've ever had. Thank you for going above and beyond to make a simple meal so memorable!”

“Maria is amazing...she just helped me cater a party for 40 people including fussy 7 years olds. She was patient, thoughtful, and had great planning and serving ideas!!”

“🥯 East Coast Flavor in the Heart of Laguna Niguel! 🥯
I recently had the opportunity to sample the delicious breakfast bagels from East Coast Bagels of Laguna Niguel during a reception at my apartment community—and I am now officially hooked!
Their bagels are fresh, flavorful, and generously prepared, delivering the authentic East Coast taste that true bagel lovers appreciate. Just as impressive as the food is the genuine warmth behind this wonderful family-run business. The owners are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and devoted to their loyal customers—qualities that make every visit feel personal.
East Coast Bagels is a terrific example of a local business that combines outstanding food with heartfelt customer service. If you live in or are visiting Laguna Niguel, stop by, enjoy a breakfast bagel, and experience their hospitality for yourself.
As their unforgettable mural says: “Schmear Me!” You will be glad you did! Highly recommended!

“Hey Kids -
Gotta tell you about the BEST TEAM working at Jersey Mike’s Subs in Laguna Niguel off of Greenfield… Uh… where do I start?

Their team members always communicate and work well together… they do something that is a priority in food service - THEY LISTEN!!! Every sandwich’s delicious morsel comes out perfect - your way and MIKE’S WAY - if you are doing it right.

Today, I used my FREE REGULAR SANDWICH credits (which you acquire over time by buying sandwiches and such) - and EVERY BITE is always a delicacy.

Ben took my order and inquired if I wanted my usual Chicken Salad order - but instead I opted for the Club Supreme - He started it on white bread while J.B. (Jason) packed it to PERFECTION and completed the transaction.

I am certain that every Jersey Mike’s employee is shown how to make a great sandwich following protocols - yet, how do you find individuals who take the extra mile to make it a positive customer experience? Jersey Mike’s off Greenfield in Laguna Niguel does just that!!!

Have a great week everyone?”

“Fantastic Verizon kiosk opportunity — customers and employees alike treat vendors like myself with far more respect than any other store, which is fantastic to say the least.”

“Best Bread best Amount of Meat and Vegs Best Sandwich I would definitely Recommend Lunch or Dinner”

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

“The House Special Pho is the best Pho I’ve had in South Orange County. Top notch customer service and they even gave my dog a bone! Cannot recommend them enough!”

“My sister ordered a matcha latte and the gradient was well made! There is still a noticeable difference in the quality and flavor of the matcha latte with Okayama Kobo Bakery and Cafe. However, my sister and I really appreciated the indoor seating that the combined matcha station and poke restaurant offered. There’s a good amount of seating inside in addition to outlets. And in favorable weather, the outside seating that the stores share is another good option. Service was kind and immediate. Bathroom was clean and well kept which made stopping by even better. God bless you all+”

“Blown away by Susie Cakes! Great people, fabulous selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies and accessories! Plus they made my poor planning and last minute need their very pleasant priority. Sweet service with a smile!!!”

“I eat here frequently along with takeout. Every sandwich I’ve ever ordered has been excellent. The quality and size of portions are outstanding. I also occasionally come here with my gym buddies and we’re always satisfied with everything. The only time I experienced subpar quality was with a salad. Highly recommended.”

“Stopped in here for a quick lunch and had orange chicken, black pepper beef and some various dim sum items. Everything was good, the chive dumplings were HUGE and so flavorful we went back two days later to order more. Staff were very friendly, service was quick and the outdoor patio was nice.”

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

It is a bit pricey for a salad, but they are seriously good, and good for you so I dont mind spending a bit more. The restaurant is usually empty or has 1 to 2 people which can be a bit odd, but I usually get my salads to go so I don't mind.”

“Writing a 5-star review specifically for the staff! Everyone is always very nice and friendly when I visit, and this past visit Estrella was very enthusiastic about the cajun fried corn and made me excited to try something I wouldn't normally go for, and wanted to know what I thought of it when I finished. Give that girl a customer service raise :)”
