11 Best Coffee Roasters near Lake Forest

“Clean and open. The coffee and smoothies are spot on. Everyone working there seems to be a bit of a “coffee nerd”. They really know their coffee! I would recommend it to anyone that prefers a higher quality coffee.“

“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!“

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

“For reference, I usually don’t like coffee and generally prefer tea as a drink. That being said, I come here semi-often for roasted beans as gifts for other people, and the service is A+++ immaculate every time. I’m not knowledgeable about coffee beans but the workers will gladly answer any of your questions about the myriad of beans they have on display. They’ll also roast the beans for you, which will take about ~10 minutes or so.

I’ve also had one of their iced coffees and I loved the taste (though caffeine makes me hyper so I usually don’t drink anything with it that much). Highly highly recommend!!!“

“This is my favorite local coffee shop in South OC! I love their iced lavender latte. They have a huge variety of flavors for coffee & more authentic tasting than a Starbucks. Wide variety of pastries, bagels, muffins, etc. All of their food is delicious & freshly made. I recommend the scramblers, salads & sandwiches. They have a nice patio for outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. The staff and owners are so sweet!

Vegetarian options: Dairy free options. Veggie based options.

Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate most dietary restrictions.

Parking: Large parking lot connected to Pavilions.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment.“

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

“Finally an excellent cappuccino in Orange County that reminds me of Italy- rich in flavor and aroma without tasting burnt and bitter! Whether the quality is due to the high end marzoccho machine being well tuned and set up or due to the coffee beans being properly roasted and grinded (or both) I am not sure, but White Sparrow has managed to accomplish what most small coffee shops in the area have not- a well balanced espresso. Thanks!“

“Delicioso café y un lugar tranquilo“

“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.“

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

“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.“
