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.“

“There is a reason this nearly has a perfect 5-star rating. From the aroma of fresh, high quality coffee to the wooden earthy, natural color theme of the inside of the shop, it is a pleasant experience. The Japanese custom of paying attention to detail and caring for each coffee bean, much like sushi when it comes to rice, is surely not lost here. I am an impatient person, but I actually enjoy waiting here for my beans to be roasted. The black coffee is so good, it reminds me of my time in Japan.“

“Went in there to chill and do some homework this morning while the person I care for was at their day program. First time here. Didn’t get to try the coffee since I was already one large coffee in by the time I showed up but I did try the breakfast sandwich. It was bomb! Saw lots of regulars go in as well out of-the-country folks. It’s nice to see that. I’ll be back whenever I’m around to kill some more time. Thanks for the chill vibes Tim!“

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

“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!!!!!“

“Anyone who comes to San Clemente should check out this coffee shop .An incredible combination and synergy of top notch customer service , robust / organic coffee ,and atmosphere make it Rapport.“

“We were wandering around Los Rios and so very happy we decided to pop in to Hidden House Coffee. I ordered the Elderberry Hibiscus Iced tea and was not disappointed. Great price, great taste and hit the spot after getting some morning steps in. Friendly personable service. Also loved knowing that Hidden House is Veteran owned and supporting a small local shop. We will absolutely be back to try out the coffee and pastries.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The employees are very friendly and accommodating. I recommend this place to anyone who loves coffee.“

“Reduce decision fatigue by going to Oslo every day knowing that you’re getting the best in the area. It’s confident enough to let their flavors shine rather than overcompensating with sugar and syrup.

Get the Viking Tonic when it’s warm out and you need something refreshing, or the Oslo Fog (iced) or Folklore Flat White (iced or hot). If you’re lucky enough to catch a seasonal menu, they’re well tested and delicious. Baked goods are also pretty solid.

If you’re coming in peak hours, order online to skip the wait. Although waiting isn’t bad because the aesthetic and vibes are quite nice. Staff are friendly, awesome, and consistent - a marker for good management and reliable quality.“

“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.“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a great experience at Better Buzz today. We came in and Coral and Daslyn helped us, and they were amazing. Super friendly, patient, and made the whole visit feel welcoming from the moment we walked in. They took the time to answer our questions and made sure everything was just right.

The drinks were excellent, the atmosphere was upbeat, and the customer service really stood out thanks to Coral and Daslyn. We’ll definitely be back!“

“fresh coffee and ham&cheese. and delicious egg omelet. highly recommend“

“Amazing service, great decor, great food. What more could you ask for ? The smoothies are great BUT could be a meal replacement if you wanted a heavy smoothie. We got the breakfast burrito and it blew us away. The ships and roasted red salsa was a great addition to the meal. We split it because the burrito was HUGE. Will be coming again to try seasonal drinks, the bowls, and different smoothies! Thank you guys!“

“I can’t believe I have never tried this place before, especially living walking distance from it… crazy lol.

Awesome place! Awesome drinks, awesome flavor.

We were on our walk yesterday, Wednesday around 2 pm. No vehicles on the drive thru yet, so we just walked up to the window.

I got the Caramel Granita with oat-milk, it is like medium sweet drink, nice and refreshing.

The girl at the window was so patient, great suggestions, excellent customer service.

Will have to come by more often!“

“Great atmosphere and even better coffee!

The open window layout creates a cool indoor-outdoor feel that's perfect for people watching or enjoying the outdoor scenery. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly from start to finish. The coffee was smooth, tasty, and hit the spot. Highly recommended!“

“Me and my lady stopped by this spot and honestly… we loved it. The customer service was amazing from the moment we walked in—super welcoming and genuine. The coffee was so good too, you can tell they actually care about what they’re serving. And the vibe? Cozy as hell. One of those places you can just sit, relax, and enjoy your time. Definitely coming back.“

“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. 🤯“

“Been here a couple times and their cinnamon rolls (especially when fresh out the oven) are UNREAL! Friendly staff and I appreciate how transparent they are with how much time is left for certain pastries. The new hours also help too, was nice to not come in with a huge line out the door. Thank you Kian and team!!“

“😃New Favorite Place!!!! Rancho Santa Margarita in the Dove Canyon Plaza. We really needed a great breakfast place in town. It has tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Super nice place to meet friends, have a group or get some work done. 🥐Beautiful cafe, great service. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. 👍The Chef delivered our food, the owner visited with us and poured our coffee. Delicious almond croissant, coffee and amazing avocado toast. ‼️This place is a must try!!! #Dovecafe #breakfastinranchosantamargarita“

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

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

“I severely underestimated how full of people this place would be. Granted, they had some kind of event going. It was really spacious and still quite full. The outdoors area is also big and seemingly comfortable. Only reason we didn't stay was because it was a particularly windy day. The panda matcha was 10/10.“

“Really nice spot with a good vibe. Coffee was solid and the place has a cozy atmosphere, great for a quick stop or to hang out for a bit. Service was friendly, though it took a little longer than expected. Overall a good experience, I’d come back and try more from the menu.“

“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!“

“We were really impressed with the Picnic Cafe who we hired for a recent event. Their lavish grazing board was gorgeous and they did all the set up and take down which made the process super seamless. It’s definitely a wow moment if you’re looking for something a bit more creative than average catering for your event!“

“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!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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.“

“Love this place so much :) been to a few locations whenever I visit my family in town and the baristas are always so sweet and the coffee is so good! Definitely get The Beauty with the almond milk :) Also the gentleman at this location was so kind and went out of his way for me but I didn’t catch his name!“

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

“Super friendly staff & baristas. Always accommodating with special requests no matter how small or large. I can always count on a good vibe at Philz in Dana Point. And, Philz Honey Haze is my wife's all time favorite coffee drink, ever!“

“Great coffee, limited food items. Tons of indoor tables for seating (even a huge square bar -- no alcohol and you order at the same place as everyone and bring your coffee and any snack to the bar seat you select) -- and outdoor seats/tables on Avenita Del Mar for people watching.“

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

“I want to shout out this location's team for being one of the most efficient, friendly, and accommodating staffs I've experienced consistently. They really go above and beyond for their patrons, it seems like a very positive, collaborative work culture. Everyone seems happy to be there, and I'm always happy to see them.“

“A small cafe nestled in a business park. Ordered a hot oat milk lavender vanilla latte. Quality flavors. Not over powering the espresso. Very good steamed milk quality for oat and the artwork was well done.

Only con as others have said is the wait. Understaffed for weekend demand.“

“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 ❤️“

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

“FRIENDLY staff at Peet's Coffee in Laguna Niguel, CA!“

“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.“

“Awesome employees. Awesome service and always delicious food and drinks.“

“Perfect spot to grab a drink and read a book or get some work done! We got an iced matcha with almond milk, with super high quality matcha and good flavor, and a hot chocolate with whipped cream, and both were absolutely delicious ✨️ Thank you to the baristas that made our drinks!!“

“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!“

“Buena atención. Variedad de cafe al gusto del cliente, exquisitos postres, variedad de tazas, termos“

“The service here was excellent! The staff were very friendly and helpful. This morning, I forgot to specify only 2 pumps of mocha in my drink, but later when I mentioned it the young lady ( I forgot her name) immediately took care of it with no hesitation. They all deserve 5 stars!“

“Excellent coffee fresh brewed when you order!“

“Food is great! Every time I come I get offered a free serving of smoothie!

Abe and his wife have a great thing going on. Always a joy to visit ☺️

I get the chipotle chicken ranch sandwich and it lasts me two days. Flavor is great!“

“Great coffee nice folks at the counter but limited regular brew options. Coffee price is surprisingly a dollar more than at SB's. on regular drinks and presumably specialty orders. So perhaps they are paying their baristas more than the otherainline coffee houses which begs the question of tipping necessity or the amount thereof.“

“Great Nordstrom’s, my favorite store! I like Talbots too! All of the stores are pretty well stocked and nice salespeople!“
