50 Best Cafes near Laguna Niguel

“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+“

“Board and Brew in Dana Point provided amazing food and customer service that is above and beyond for my brother’s memorial service on 11/2. They confirmed my order a few days before the memorial
And the day of. Delivery was fantastic and they truly put their heart into this special day for us. Thank you everyone you are all the best“

“We are in the city of Laguna Beach. Stopped a this place to have dinner. Great sandwiches. Had a Turkado and pastrami. Pricing was very, very reasonable! Highly recommended if you are in the area. This would be my new favorite place if it was in Riverside.

Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere ♥️“

“Tim is Making Great Coffee lives up to its name — and then some. This San Juan Capistrano spot has a cult following among locals for good reason: the coffee is thoughtfully prepared and the personal approach to the craft is genuinely refreshing. Stopped in with clients exploring the historic downtown SJC corridor and it was an immediate hit. The mission-era charm of San Juan Capistrano is a major lifestyle selling point, and cafes like this add to that authentic, unhurried quality of life. When buyers ask me what the daily rhythm of life in SJC looks like, places like this are a central part of the answer. Highly worthwhile.“

“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!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Great food/drink. Nice patio.“

“Excellent bakery with indoor and outdoor seating, quieshe(spl?) Lorraine was excellent as was the pecan sticky bun, both came warmed and fresh. Really good. Would love to head back. They greeted me as soon as I walked in, had my order ready by the time I actually placed and paid for it at the counter and brought it out almost immediately.“

“Great Food. Creative interior design. Wonderful staff. Unique comfort food. My favorite is the Smoked Meatloaf Breakfast Sandwich. Very cozy. Only 12 tables, that are always full. Lots of “Regular” customers. This is a place that you want to return to, time and time again.“

“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:)“

“Delicious 🥰familiale belle vague 🌊 beach 🏝️☀️“

“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!“

“I got a staff favorite double rainbow bowl, the fruit was fresh(mango from the whole fruit not frozen!?), granola crunchy, honey drizzle sweet and açaí base cold. They have seasonal fruit options (raspberries this time) that looked to be from
local/farmers market judging by the boxes the girl in the back was washing them from. Lots of options for changing the bowl’s base and toppings. Good music and attentive service. There are also some baked goods, coffee drinks, and merchandise, overall a fun little place to stop in!“

“We've come here twice. First time we stumbled accros Antoine's because it was close to our hotel. The 2nd time we came to the same hotel because it was close to Antoine's! Excellent food. Excellent Service. Enjoyed having breakfast and listening to all the locals visiting with each other. Dave can cook a STEAK!!! Perfect! Thank you Dave!“

“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.“

“delicious breakfast best hashbrowns ever!“

“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!!!“

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

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

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

“Great food and views. recommended“

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

“This is very much a classic diner the food is quick to arrive delicious and well prepared and almost so beautiful to look at but you feel bad eating it… You stop feeling bad after the first bite then you start to feel wonderful thinking that there’s no possible way you could ever put an end to this joy. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries and let me tell you each bite welcome the next they have wonderful parking outdoor dining and like I said before a classic feel. This is definitely one of those places you wanna come back to.“

“My daily simple lunch for remote work offers many options for a pescatarian/vegetarian. Clean, organic, and delicious!!! 🙌🏾👏🏾👍🏾“

“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.“

“Amazing coffee and food. Very good ingredients.“

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

“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“

“We did the afternoon tea service at the cafe. The vibes are super cute and the back room where they do the tea service is very chill. Overall the food was good, but a lot of what you get are sweets (not savory) and a lot of the sweets were really, really sweet. For a kid it would be a dream, but for the adults in attendance it was a bit of a cavity. We would have loved it if they balanced the savory/sweet a bit better, and if the pastry and baked items were fresher. All of the items they give you do feel premade and out of a refrigerator. And all that considered, I think it's a bit pricey for what you get. You're paying for the character themed atmosphere certainly. There are better places to go for afternoon tea service that have better, fresher food and tea, yet would have cost less. The staff were very nice, but just FYI, they add on a mandatory 18% gratuity to your bill, which didn't sit well with me - even if the service was subpar you'd still be paying them 18% tip - and even though the service was polite, the servers quickly bring you food and tea and check in once or twice, but otherwise they're not super involved. In total the tea service cost us $163 for two of us, which was certainly a bit of sticker shock even though I knew the pre-fixed cost upfront. You can go to other places in this area and get divine fresh food and baked goods in a full tea service for 2 for as low as ~$100, but again, here you're paying an upcharge for the novelty of everything being cut out with a hello kitty cookie cutter, or designed with a little chocolate bow. If you really love hello kitty it's worth it, and I'm sure the kids love it, but just know what you're getting :)“

“It’s a hidden gem in Irvine where I like to go for breakfast or lunch whenever I am visiting Irvine. There’s limited parking but I have never had trouble finding. The outdoor seating area is so nice and relaxing. I prefer that over their indoor dining space.“

“Amazing food and service!“

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

“11/10 experience! I visited Vivot with my best friend - a nurse who works across the street after hearing her rave about the quality of the matcha and thoroughness of the drinks made. Unfortunately I ordered via OLO to the wrong location but nevertheless the store team quickly made our new drinks. I ordered a Einspanner Matcha Latte with Oat Milk and a Lavender Cloud. After visiting Japan, it has been extremely hard to find authentic matcha. Vivot was extremely authentic and delicious. A special thanks to Brandon for his help processing the refund for my error ordering at the wrong location. I can’t wait to visit again when I am back in town!“

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

“This is my favorite sandwich shop! Out of all the amazing menu options, my current favorite has to be the turkey pesto sandwich it’s so good! I’ve seen a lot of people ordering it too, so I guess it’s pretty popular. Everything else on the menu is delicious as well. They also have plenty of drinks, chips, and even cookies and smoothies, so it’s a great spot to visit with kids. Plus, they always play classical music, which makes the place feel super cozy and relaxing!“

“nice breakfast this morning, always enjoy HH Cafe when we visit.“

“Thank you to "The Green Room" and Iciar for her help in organising a NICE 2023 pre-show commission from Aneke, who was as warm and friendly as ever when I collected the artwork, I had great communication from Iciar during the entire purchase, before, during and after the convention. The website is clean and easy to use, they have informative emails and a good social media presence and I won't hesitate to use "The Green Room" again for my collecting goals with the wonderful stable of creators they represent. I'm already thinking of my next request! Highly recommended!“

“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 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:)“

“Delicious food🤤 Must give it a try.“

“The four-bedroom villas are exceptional, with the South Villas offering breathtaking, unobstructed ocean views. The food, service, and staff exceed expectations in every way. The New Year’s Eve dinner was outstanding. An unforgettable stay…. we will absolutely return.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“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.“

“This is a family owned establishment that truly puts the meaning to the phrase ‘Hidden Gem’. The food is prepared fresh and comes out hot. The best way to describe the menu and meals here is homestyle. I could eat here everyday. Everything is good. Prices are also better than any fast food. 11/10.“

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

“Le Cafe Du Park is seriously a MUST VISIT if you're in the area or in Orange County.
This cute cafe is hidden in a Irvine community park. The café is in the park and it's such a cute little space. The park is so relaxing, has green grass to grab food from here and lay a towel and have a small picnic. There's a playground you can walk around. You can sit outside and enjoy the breeze. Honestly, the food was amazing.
We got an ice cream waffle and it was so delicious. Super chocolatey, and soft! The barbecue flatbread pizza was amazing too super flavorful and soft! & our strawberry lemonade was super good.
honestly, I feel like this would be such a cute DATE SPOT or just to getting some food here.
They had a variety of food options from sweet treats, Dubai crepes, waffles, pizzas, coffee
Honestly coming back soon' The service was amazing too!!!
They have outside seating!“

“There bagels are better than the ones in New York. They are always fresh big and super delicious. They even have lox in cream cheese. The staff are always super friendly and helpful.“

“I recently moved back to SoCal from being in NorCal for a decade, and one of the first places I visited upon my return. I've been going to Le Dip for at least two decades, and the Chicken Dijon is something that always lingers in the back of my head. I will say that I was left a bit disappointed at my last visit. I, of course, purchased a Chicken Dijon. The garlic aioli and the bread were the shining stars. The bread has the perfect balance of crunch and softness that makes it so easy to eat. The chicken breast was a bit dry, and there wasn't much present in the sandwich. I like the unique contrast that the artichoke provides, but it sometimes feels like it's just placed into the sandwich straight from the jar. The artichoke comes in large chunks, and it would be much better integrated if it were roughly chopped up beforehand. I hope these are so adjustments that the owners can implement, because I think it's going to affect their bottomline if it stays the way it is.“

“Ts place is so tuff🔥 Mustard dripping of the walls how demure🔥 I ordered a lunchly with drippy cheese and I can say it was very drippy🔥 and guess what Adrian was there🔥 he just got back from the barber shop and it only cost a quarter 🔥 so we had our food he ordered mangoes 🥭 🔥 so yea a very rizzy experience would recommend coming here about 6 or 7 times every full moon before ur inner wolf breaks loose🐺🔥 one last thing Diddy might be there so chat ur cooked💀😭🙏🔥“
