“Joy & Q are two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet! They take time to chat you up about your day and if you're a frequent flyer of Cassel Earth, like I am, they'll always remember your go to order and name!!

Their oatmilk lattes are by far my favorite thing to get there. They use quality syrups, espresso beans, and oatmilk! It tastes the same EVERY time which is amazing to me and so very appreciated!

Also, the location is absolutely perfect. It's clean, tidy, and overall such a fun vibe. You can tell Joy and Q love what they do and it is apparent in how the run their shop.“

“A true hidden gem here in Laguna Niguel. Wide selection of beans and roast levels to choose from. Beans are roasted onsite. Staff is top notch and are happy to explain all the choices available. I always come here for the whole beans but they do have a small selection of coffee available to enjoy there or to go. Outdoor seating is available. A+ customer service! For all the espresso aficionados out there, don’t miss this place!“

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

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!“

“Love this coffee shop! Friendly staff and amazing baked goods. They have an excellent coffee menu too.“

“Went early in the morning for grand opening. Awesome staff and good vibes. Coffee was great too!!“

“Was looking for a good matcha spot and was not disappointed! Tried the cookie butter matcha. Didn’t really taste the cookie butter but it was good nonetheless! The matcha was creamy and smooth. The focaccia sandwich was even better! There was tons of parking in the lot next to it, even in a busy spring break weekend.“

“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“

“This place was so elegant! I was surprised to find this gem, located in the corner of a small parking lot. The inside was clean and white, very visually pretty. My friend ordered a coffee, which they're known for. I got the Taro Coco Cloud. My drink was creamy, lightly sweet, and tasted exactly like the name says. It was like drinking taro-flavored foam, with the occasional coconut crisp to chew on for texture. There are probably other places that serve this quality of drink, but I would come back to Findi specifically for the beautiful aesthetic and calm vibe.“

“my sister forgot about me so I waited here. It's by her work. Really good spot to wait around for your sister who forgot about you. Here's a pic of me waiting for her in their outdoor seating. Coffee and food very good. Would come back even if I weren't waiting for my sister.“

“Delicious coconut oatmeal iced coffee the barista made me!“

“nice stout coffee. they have other drinks as well. highly recommend ground beans and great flavor.“

“Can’t wait for you guys to open!!!“

“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.“

“Good coffee/latte people are nice location is convenient“

“Such a gem of a coffee spot! This cute little neighborhood café has quickly become one of my go-tos. They have a lot of different flavors so you can customize your cold foam. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Their cold brew is bold but super smooth no bitterness at all 👏 and they have tons of great milk options from Straus.
The vibe is welcoming, perfect for grabbing a quick morning coffee or hanging out for a bit. You can tell they care about quality and the small details. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want something that feels local and special! 🌿☕️✨“

“Went horseback riding at Irvine Park and was looking for coffee after.
LONG line but went fairly quick. Simple set up inside with little room for sitting. Suggest benches outside.
Tried the Matcha1, the coconut iced blended and the salted saigon; all medium sweet. ALL GOOD!“

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.“

“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:)“

“Great new find☕️awesome service and cool vibe ☕️🤠“

“HIDDEN GEM!
Love this place. I walked in for the first time after seeing their name on the marquee of the Rivian. I went in and ordered a Habibi latte. It was delicious way better than I expected. I also ordered the chocolate chip cookie. One of the tastiest cookies I had.

The manager took my order. Christina was very nice and told me about all the events around the area, including that Rivian has a bunch of events for kids and adults.

I hope more people come to this coffee shop. It was really good and the coffee was excellent. 10/10“

“The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, making it a nice spot to unwind after a morning workout. Their coffee is expertly brewed, with rich flavors that stand out. Very limited food menu, but delicious pastries. Overall, a solid place for coffee lovers!“

“Every time I come here I get the 2nd best cup of Coffee ever !!!!! To legit to quit, keep up the great work Jason, Kyle, and Tianna!“

“Best oat milk chagachuga - thank you“

“Impressive array of barista skills, matcha, espresso, classy layers and latte art! It's all rolled into a rather dull and pale inside unable to match atmosphere to coffee craft. Us two went for a banana latte, fancy green tea, and a breakfast bagel. The colors! No wonder Yelp puts this tops for the area. If only I could order from Indiana.“

“The staff were incredibly patient and accommodating while I placed a large order of 14 drinks (mostly matcha!) for my clinic. I was so impressed with how quickly everything came out — especially for such a big order. They were efficient, organized, and still so friendly the entire time. They also recommended some great drinks to try, which I really appreciated!

The owner was very kind and even helped me carry all the drinks to my car, which meant a lot. And the matcha was delicious — smooth, high quality, and perfectly balanced. Everyone at the clinic loved their drinks! I’m so grateful for the amazing service and will definitely be coming back.“

“it was my first time, I enjoyed my French toast“

“Relaxing environment right off of PCH“

“New Fav coffee house! Awesome selection of fresh made grub, classic coffees, vibe and hospitality on point, nice change from 🌟bucks - give these guys a try!“

“The staff are friendly and amazing. Just love going here to spend a relaxing afternoon.“

“This place has THE perfect coffee! We have been to seattle and portland and we're quite disappointed with the coffee in US so far, but this one just hit the bullseye, similar to some of the best speciality coffee shops in Europe! And the beautiful seating area outside is an added bonus. We will definitely be back“

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

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

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

“One of my favorite coffee shops of the OC area

As soon as I stepped into the cafe, I was met with a high ceiling that was a refreshing break from more of the low ceiling office spaces that I had been studying in. The layout and decor is well put together with the napkins, coffee cup sleeves, and utensils being easily accessible and out of the way from any lines that may form. I’ve also delighted in the presence of board games and enough seating to host these board games! The space is fitting for any who seeks to study with enough accessible outlets within reach wherever you sit. There’s also a maker space area right next door, and in a sense because there is no closed doors between the cafe seating area and the maker space market - it just makes the space feel even more spacious!

I ordered an iced chai latte spiced with nonfat milk. It came out to be $6 for a large cup size. I took one sip and all my worries for the day seemed to have melted away! Praise God! It was incredibly thoughtful to have stickers placed on the drink so that you would know who made your drink. The staff are all kind and hard working - God bless you all.

I want to be back to try the other drinks because it seems like there’s a new seasonal drink incorporating mushrooms, which I have not heard before.

The time here was wonderful.
Thank you all for this space and the sustenance you provide for potentially weary souls.
I truly have no complaints for this place.“

“The Sunrise burrito es the best one I ever had, seriously that good! Ordered online for pick up, Burrito was perfect, fresh and the salsas are so good too! Staff is super friendly and genuine, no wonder is packed! Keep up the good work! Im a customer for life now! yum!“

“One of the better ones out there..“

“Stopped by The Moon and loved the vibe! The minimalist, the inside aesthetic is beautiful and perfect for relaxing or do some work on computer.
The Pistachio Croissant was flaky and fresh, and their green tea drinks are really good with high quality matcha from Japan.
I really appreciated that they can adjust the sugar levels in their drinks, my Black Sesame Latte was perfect and not too sweet. Great service and even better pastries! 🥐☕️“

“They have the best coffee selection and their food is amazing! Also helps that each location is a cool vibe and their staff is pretty awesome.“

“I had an early morning appointment USCIS office in Tustin. Since I had to commute from quite far, by the time I started craving coffee. Browsed around and stumbled upon this wonderful place. Loved their coffee. Pastry was absolutely delicious. Girls were so attentive. Spent there a lot more time than I was planning. If you are in the area and want to have a quality coffee with a fresh pasty, cafe in coffee won’t disappoint you.“

“Amazing Experience!!! Staff is very friendly as you walk in the door. The store is very clean and a cool vibe. As a daily coffee drinker, the coffee was smooth and not bitter. Definitely worth the stop when at Laguna Beach. Definitely will be back!!!“

“Basic quick service (Halal!) noodle house with a variety of hand pulled noodles and appetizers and more. The noodles are good but lack the bouncy and texture of great hand pulled noodles. The beef noodle soup was solid but I definitely recommend adding vinegar as well as their great salt/pepper combo in the shaker. Appetizers: black fungus salad, cucumber salad and Chinese pickles cabbage w're all good. Service was attentive and friendly. If you want a quick noodle dish, this is fine but better options are out there.“

“The staff were so friendly. As a student group from the University of Northern Colorado. We appreciated their kindness and great drinks.“
