50 Best Coffee Shops near Rancho Mission Viejo

“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.“

“Great NY STYLE BAGELS!!! Great service too“

“We absolutely love Mameya for our coffee and espresso needs. The best thing is how they prepare your coffee fresh - you choose the beans, choose the roast, and they handle the rest. This leads to a very reliable and consistent experience every time. It's insane the overall variety of beans and roasts they have, you'll be impressed!
Another major positive is their exceptional customer service. They provide great recommendations on how to prepare your coffee properly, and they're incredibly kind, especially to kids. They always give my son a sticker and chat with him, and even complimented his Anpanman shirt!
I highly recommend Mameya, especially to anyone who enjoys fresh, high-quality coffee and a personalized, friendly experience.
For the best experience, I recommend calling ahead for beans to be roasted. Alternatively, you can wait and enjoy a cup of coffee while they roast. Or enjoy the ambiance and study/work there for a bit, they have WiFi!
If you enjoy Mameya, you should also check out Brio Bakery and Cafe in Lake Forest - they serve Mameya coffee there!“

“The award-winning breakfast sandwich had a nice taste but was too greasy for me. The iced mocha had a nice flavor and the Vietnamese iced coffee was very smooth. Tim was very friendly and doing everything, cashier, barista, and cook. Items took 15 mins for drinks and another 5 for the food.“

“Best place to enjoy the best coffee and the place has the best workers“

“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.“

“This coffee shop was great! It’s nice and cozy inside, with some outdoor seating as well. Their team is so friendly and welcoming. We tried two pour overs (Columbia and Ethiopia) and they were both very flavorful. Bought beans to take home too (they roast their own beans). Would love to go back to try their espresso. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Wow! I had the best coffee and my husband a delicious smoothie prepared by Ethan!!! Congratulations! Awesome atmosphere!!!! We loved it and will recommend this place a 100%! Keep up with the good job!! Thank you Ethan!!!!!“

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

“This is my second time coming and I had an even better experience than the first time. It was very busy while I was there, but the service was incredible. The young lady I talked to, Ashlynn, was so kind and patient and answered all of my questions. And the other girl, Kendall, made my bowl taste great! I will definitely make sure to keep coming here anytime I am hungry for an açaí bowl!“

“Today my friend took me to this new café, and even though I work at one, this café was designed with love and the service and food quality matched. Collin and Josh made our experience personable by tailoring our experience from beginning to end, even using my friend’s jewelry with her name on it to guess our name and ethnicity. Would recommend,“

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

“Stopped here to get coffee while passing through & was pleasantly surprised by the coffee! I had an iced oat latte and the nutty flavor of the beans 🫘 complemented the nutty-ness of the oat milk 🥛 The pastries looked great but we didn't try. I will definitely come back with an empty stomach.“

“First. Time. Here. San juan Capistrano Hidden coffee. There's line but the wait is worth it. Delicious fresh coffee and vegan chocolate chip cookies for me. And the just walk outside and enjoy everything there. I always wanted to be here. And I love ♥️ this place.“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“What a cute place with good coffee and exceptional service. Staff went out of their way to serve us.
Bunch of soccer buddies went there to have coffee not knowing it’s a drive through only. We ordered and waited in the parking till a young wonderful lady brought our coffee to us.
Very pleased.“

“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.

Parking: Large parking lot connected to Pavilions.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment.“

“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!“

“Absolutely incredible bakery! I stopped in and picked up a croissant and a chocolate bread, and both were beyond delicious—flaky, buttery, and perfectly fresh. You can really taste the quality and care put into each pastry. The croissant was crisp on the outside and soft inside, while the chocolate bread had the perfect balance of rich flavor without being too sweet. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a cozy, inviting vibe. I’m so glad I found this gem of a local bakery—definitely coming back for more. Highly recommend to anyone who loves quality baked goods!“

“Huge thank you to Wall Writers in Irvine! I showed up about 10 minutes after they closed, and they still kindly took my order because they understood I had driven there and took the time to stop by. I really appreciated their kindness and amazing customer service — it truly made my day. Btw their coffees are amazing, and the place is very cute. A must try!“

“I’m from SC. I wanted to surf fish while here and brought a rod/reel with me on the plane. I’m here for 5 days total. On day 1 I wanted to try a local doughnut. I saw they had gluten free. I don’t need it but my kids do. I bought some from a dude in a flannel shirt. I thought it weird, but it’s California so whatever. I got them back to the place we were staying and we all sampled about six different doughnuts. 🤯 OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I’m a Krispy Kreme lifer but DANG THESE ARE GOOD. Today I went back and bought 6 more. These are expensive so there went my fishing budget but it’s worth it because my kids and enlaws loved it. My father enlaw said the maple bacon should be illegal it’s so good. Listen there are a lot of choices here but if you are going to try just 1 or several this should be your first stop and if like me it will be the only one you need. I’m not big on California, sorry, but the only thing better than the weather and scenery are these incredible doughnuts. 🤯“

“I enjoy walking on the beach in the morning then stopping by bear coast for coffee I had a dark moca latte I bought a heavy bear coast mug to drink it in. The girls made the pretty design with the cream .sat out front on the little chair and table set visited with a friend and family. I Wish they still served the bear claw pastry or the individual berry pie. I like their teas also.“

“Reminds me of Hawaiian Coffee ❤️“

“Awesome little coffee spot that I stumbled upon. Noticed mostly every food option in this strip mall seemed top notch. James, the barista, whipped up a great flat white and white mocha. Seems like a really nice place to do some work too. Will be back!“

“Such a delight to have Rosetta in the neighborhood. Brian brings expert coffee knowledge to every single cup.“

“Fantastic coffee! Would definitely recommend.“

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

“While on my morning walk I found this cute lil cafe that sits directly on the beach by the San Clemente Pier. My son got the bagel breakfast sandwich & coffee, my daughter got the nutella toast & I got the acai bowl. We all thought our food was good. We will def be back on our next visit there!“

“Excellent art-inspired bakery treats. Sean (sp?) and his team’s hospitality is top-shelf.“

“delicious gelato, family friendly and the people are so nice there! they answered all my questions regarding allergies, from nut allergies to gluten free options, we're very happy to have found this gem ❤️“

“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!“

“We love the Rootbeer Float and Banana Split Ice Cream here ... 👈🤔🤫😜😋😂🤣“

“I would recommend Sea Salt + Basil to anyone I know. The staff is always kind and accommodating, but even more, the owner Ed is one of the most thoughtful and passionate workers I've encountered. Above all, the food is DELICIOUS. I recently just tried the tocino chicken avocado sandwich and it was to die for! The vegetables are always fresh and flavorful while the chicken is always tender and juicy. I highly recommend eating here or even just grabbing something from the refrigerator section while you enjoy the spacious, calm ambiance inside.“

“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.“

“This Capital One Cafe is conveniently located in the Spectrum Mall. It offers a nice hangout spot and as thus is somewhat more crowded than the regular Capital One Cafes. I got a Matcha Latte. It was decent, somewhat milkier than it strong.“

“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make. I take their pastry to all my friends and to every gathering that I am invited to. I am so glad to support a local business, which is providing quality food and excellent services.“

“Laurie Nick and Kaylee !! Wonderful people doing excellent customer service! Had an issue with another locations remade drink and they were happy to replace it.. the other location just couldn't seem to make it per the starbucks recipe (super wasteful on time & ingredients)..but this location did it right the first time..well I was back again because that same location couldnt keep up with their mobile orders causing it to be an overall, 25 minute wait...which would have made us late so we had to leave.. :( thinking we should just make this one our location.. Nick is a great manager ... with Kaylee knowing her recipe...all are very personable and seemingly a wonderful team!“

“The baked goods here are so delicious and the woman behind the treats was so lovely herself! I found this place after an appointment in the area, got four different macarons and one of the honey cakes. Wow. Insane, everything. The strawberry raspberry and the Dubai flavor macarons were far and away my favorite, but everything was insane. The honey cake was amazing too, very different from anything I’ve had yet but loved it. Will be back again.“

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

“Looking for great food and great service in a relaxing, friendly environment ? Look no further as the Belgium Waffle Haus is 'your' place. They have a wide selection of various specialties for breakfast/brunch/lunch - whatever your palate is craving for. And a nice way to treat yourself!“

“Andrew and the rest of the great staff at my local Peet's coffee in Lake Forest, operate this place like a well oiled machine. Not only are you greeted by name with a big smile. You're going to receive probably some of the best customer service around Lake Forest. Andrew is an amazing Barista, fast, efficient, great attitude always, and a very good, hard worker. I just wanted to thank you guys for always making me feel like I'm at home. You all deserve a raise, in my book!“

“Came in while visiting family and WOW! Such a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were immediately greeted by Charlene who was super kind and helped us with all of our questions. She recommended a horchata iced latte for my husband and he LOVED IT. And for me, a best drink ever with cinnamon foam and it was top tier! Super friendly and fast service despite how busy it was while we were there, she kept a smile on her face while taking our order as well as making it and serving it to us. 10/10 for Better Buzz!“
