“This place is good. I've been here several times but not recently. The staff are always nice and they get the orders made relatively quickly. I had the bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. If you're nearby and wanting breakfast, this is the best option.Parking: The shopping center itself is pretty large but there's always plenty of parking. Sometimes during really busy moments you may have to park further from the door of the place, but it's not too far.“
“Great location! The staff are welcoming and courteous.Did I mention the location, great spot and a nice patio facing west with sunlight at all the right times.My only issue... the patio is generally pretty messy. Doesn't matter the day off the week or time of day the tables don't ever seem to be cleaned. Inside seems on point, but I come for the coffee and the sunshine.Anyhow. Great people. Starbucks coffee.Highly recommend the location but the patio area could use some attention :)“
“The best coffee roaster I’ve ever been to in the states. When you buy their coffee beans, they are roasted fresh (only takes about 15mins!!) and the aroma in the cafe is just phenomenal. We stumbled upon this place today and will definitely be coming back. Their iced cafe au lait was delicious! 見つけて本当によかったです！☺️“
“This is a great place for delicious pastries. Small company, quiet inside, everything is freshly made into delicious. They try innovative new recipes for food and beverages, and their offerings Change which is fun! Their Cup of Joy latte is my favorite coffee drink. They are centrally located in Mission Viejo but are are not open every day, which is my only complaint!“

“Came here for a quick coffee and enjoyed the experience. Tim is the owner and was at the counter taking our order and making our coffee. He was very friendly and made a great cup of coffee and chai tea latte. He was just about to close but had no issue making us coffee. We sat outside on the bench, there is also seating inside. Next time will try some of his breakfast items.“

“As a vegan and someone that can’t eat gluten too I was very happy to have two options to try from.I tried the maple gluten free vegan donut and it was fantastic. I don’t live in the US so it was great to find a place that caters to people with lots of restrictions like me.Before we left one of the employees brought me a free donut to try which was very generous. It was great as well ?Everyone was very upbeat and friendly. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.“
“I’ve been here many times and my experience has always been positive 100% of the time. The pastries are a work of art with a meticulous attention to detail.Great tasting coffee as well.Friendly service.Best French bakery in Orange County!“
“My son was craving some acai bowl after his soccer game. I decided to let him get a little treat after his hard fought victory over the flying floppers. We were greeted by a young gentleman in the name of Justin Lensky. When he heard my son won his game, he gave him a free empenada! His face brightened brighter than the sun. Justin was really sweet to my little guy and hope nothing but the best for him!“
“This shop is hands down the best gelato/ice cream spot in SoCal. I LOVE the monster cookie and so many other flavors and sizes available. I drive down just to have this sweet treat! All of my family and friends I’ve brought tried and loved it. Lucky dog is the best!! ? ?“
“Delectable baklavas and other Middle Eastern desserts! Just as the name would imply, about half of the store is dedicated to different types of house made baklava and the other half filled with assorted Turkish Delights ?Not only is it some of the best baklavas I’ve had, but it’s so conveniently located in the middle of the mall on the bottom floor.“
“This is the most reasonably priced coffee cafe in South OC. The seating accommodations are plentiful with the library nook being cozy. I've tried several different flavored lattes and have not been disappointed. The food is unique and tasty.“
“Parking, lot... that's great If I can park, already higher, I tend to rate Visited today with a friend for a little post birthday fun Sometimes, who your with matters more when all is said and done We both ordered the waffle with mixed berry, whole and half Upon coffee order, they did not have decaf Cappuccino and vanilla latte with ice Strong, but I'm not sure we'd go out of our way to coffee order twice The waffle has a grainy texture with a touch of sweet The presentation was nice; it felt like a breakfast treat I did not try any of the items from the bakery display But, I watched others order them from far away Based on the appearance factor alone I would say the pastry chef is very talented, for I have never made a whole layer cake or macaron on my own For a date or meet-up, it is a cute spot I would recommend giving it at least one shot xoxo - Op“
“Beautiful welcoming caffe with fresh and delicious pastries. Almond croissant is crispy and just right amount of sweetness. Owner Ava is so warm and kind, it is a pleasure to meet her and her hospitality. Ambiance is done with love and great taste. I would highly recommend it.“
“I can nearly guarantee that you will not find a better coffee place around. Hands down the best and cheapest beans. $15 for a bag of the house roast beans has been my go to for years now. You can tell the roasters here really care about what they make, it’s incredible :)“
“Ordered a wedding cake about 2 weeks before our wedding. They were extremely friendly and communicative the entire process. All we requested was white heart shaped cake. Initially we ordered a 6", but later decided to go with 8" and there was no issue. We also ordered a cupcake as a birthday surprise and everything was amazing tasting and looked great!“

“Arrived by 9am and the line was stretching to the front entrance, but it took me just 5 minutes to place my order and pay. They only accept cards, not cash. This is one of my favorite spot to unwind and recharge by strolling around. Invited a friend to taste their coffee; latte and mocha with the thickest foam around! Paired them with the 'Queen' cinnamon bread and a Herb Bagel Bomb, it was all good! Great drink, pastries and outdoor space.“

“*****Best Bowls Ever!*****My eldest and I were in the neighborhood for a couple of days. The previous day we had acai and pitaya bowls elsewhere. We came here with no expectations. The shop is small and cozy and they have a few tables outside where you can sit next to the Dr. Who robots and Tardis. Service is superb. The hosts are friendly and full of smiles. We were both surprised at the freshness and quality of our bowls. We ordered:1. Campground-1/2 pitaya, 1/2 acai with granola, banana, strawberries and blueberries. Super flavorful. Smooth. Tasty.2. Moonbeam (my eldest ordered this) which was strictly Acai.I have to say that the cost was the average for the bowls but worth every penny. Both my eldest and I agreed these were the best bowls we have had. I would easily come back again. The parking lot is small but we found space. Alohana is all that and a bag of chips!“
“Very fun coffee shop with unique flavors and a cool atmosphere! Would definitely recommend stopping by and enjoying a drink here. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The line was long but moved quickly. Its kind of in a hidden spot but its a gem. 5 stars!“
“Fast friendly service! Absolutely delicious breakfast! The French toast, poached eggs, fresh house made salsa, steak and eggs... etc... everything I have dined on is A+/5-star. Quaint outdoor seating in a comfortable and welcoming environment! Highly recommend and always dine at Antoine's Cafe durning my stay(s) in San Clemente!“
“I came to SC for a family visit and they offered we go to Jadore. We were a few adults, 2 kids and a baby.As a vegan and gluten intolerant person it felt like there weren’t many options on the menu as everything has bread, cheese or meat on it.I ordered the coconut and squash soup and it tasted like Gerber baby puree. The person there which I think it one of the owners quickly replaced it with the açaí bowl which was ok and also gave us a free muffin. I really did feel like he was trying his best.Also I wouldn’t recommend this for families with younger kids as there wasn’t anything for the kids that was nutritious apart from crepes with chocolate which weren’t what I wanted my 8 and 2 year old to eat for lunch.Overall everyone said the food was ok but not great. Portion sizes were small and it was expensive.The great part was the garden in the back and the French music in the background. It could’ve been a bad day so I’m giving this 3 stars.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly unless you want to have pastries and sweet crepes with Nutella“

“First time here, and I loved it. Everything from the amazing customer service, to the menu, to the ambience. Love that they didn’t bat an eye when the person I came with asked for a million customizations to their latte. They’re super kind and super chill.“
“Came to SC Cafe while visiting San Clemente the past weekend. It was a rainy Saturday morning but there was luckily only a 10-15 minute wait for so. The cafe is small and busy, but has a great friendly vibe. All the workers seemed to know everyone which was a good sign. One even stopped taking our order to say bye to someone lol For food I got the Gringos Burritos--hash brown egg and cheese burritos covered in ranchero sauce and more cheese. So good! Very different. I'm not big on ranchero sauce but finished it regardless. Everything else my table got looked good. Most items have a south-of-the-border touch which always makes for a good combination. Def recommend if you're in town!“
“Great coffee, great people. So many different drink and coffee options that I greatly love and appreciate as a coffee connoisseur. I love to meet up with friends here and try new drinks. Owners are always hands on and super friendly. Every experience has been great.“

“Great place for someone vegan and gluten intolerant. I had an açaí bowl regular size and it was very generous, full of fresh fruit and gluten free granola which made it sweeter.The açaí itself was pretty sweet on its own so I would probably not take the granola next time. The açaí was the correct consistency. Not completely frozen like some places serve it but very cold like a thick smoothie which is how it should be served.Service was great, nice chilled vibe and you can tell it’s not a huge chain but a local business which makes me want to come back and try some of their other bowls, coffees and bakes.“

“Cute, tiny little coffee shop hidden away in the back of the plaza. No shop sign on the building, it only says, "Coffee". Very limited seating inside. Super friendly and patient staff. We got a latte and an iced vanilla latte. Great taste with creative foam designs. Drinks are smaller than those of big chain coffee shops but they make up for it in flavor.“
“This was my FIRST time here and I loved the food & drink I got. Food I ordered: French Omelet Drink of choice: Matcha Latte (iced) w/lavendar syrup The omelet tasted very good because the eggs were soft/spongy and the cheese of choice was perfect. The matcha latte was excellent - they have other syrup options you can choose from (the sign is by the cash register tablet). The side salad was good too! This place was hard to find but the spot was located on Richard Reese Way (street name), next to SuperCuts. I will be back - glad I found this place!“
“My favorite breakfast and drink spot. I'd been here a few times with friends and loved the atmosphere, food and drink quality, and welcoming staff. Since my pregnancy started and I tried their wood fired rosemary bagel I crave it all the time!! It's getting a little ridiculous just how often in my second trimester I have ordered a rosemary bagel with cream cheese and a matcha latte from 7Seas. Would literally have it everyday of the week if I had no self control left. They had a seasonal marshmallow (cloud) matcha latte I couldn't resist and now miss. Their seasonal danishes are also quite good. A shout out to whoever the kind soul is who always puts a cute smiley face on my to-go order bag. ?“
“Hidden between a Burrito place and beauty salons in this little cove filled with the energy of having matcha on a weekday afternoon off.Belgium waffle haus provides menus with seasonal offerings and sandwiches along with its breakfast staples. The service is adorable as she drew little doodles/kaomoji on our coffees instead of names. There is also some light table service which is pleasant and most table ware is stainless steel for the more eco conscious.Honey/Syrup is provided at the table. Overall, for 1 Kefir, 1 medium coffee, and a sandwich estimates to under $30 USD. A nice date and premium experience for those looking for a social meeting. Bathrooms are available, and booster seats are clean and ready in the back.Kid-friendliness: Provides booster seats and the staff are kindWheelchair accessibility: Ground level access without many or any thresholds.“
“Cozy Brunch Spot with Room for ImprovementEveryday Eatery in Sand Canyon Plaza offers a cozy cafe vibe and a healthy brunch menu that hits the spot.?️ Delicious Brunch Fare: From avocado toast to hot cakes and waffles, the brunch options were delicious, fresh, and well-prepared. The variety of drinks, including iced matcha latte, americano, and Earl Grey tea, catered to different tastes.? Casual and Friendly Atmosphere: The cafe exudes a casual and friendly vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends. The patio seating adds to the relaxed ambiance, making it an enjoyable spot to spend time.? Staff Service: However, I found the staff to be lacking in friendliness and could benefit from more training in customer service. Improving staff interactions would enhance the overall experience for guests.? Clean Facilities: On a positive note, the washroom was clean, reflecting the restaurant's attention to hygiene.? Reasonable Prices: The prices were reasonable, offering value for money considering the quality of the food and atmosphere.? Plan to Return: Despite the minor issues with staff friendliness, I plan to return to Everyday Eatery to try more of their food. I'll update my review next time based on my experience.Overall, Everyday Eatery is a charming brunch spot with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. With a little improvement in staff training, it has the potential to become a top choice for brunch enthusiasts in the area.Parking: free parking lotWheelchair accessibility: yes“
“We enjoyed dinner tonight and the food was excellent. The noodle and rice dishes were so flavorful and the filet mignon cubes would just melt in your mouth. The restaurant is small and simple but very clean and staff is super friendly. I can't wait to go back again. Highly recommend you give them a try.“
“A great place to bring friends, acquaintances or your family for a very delicious cup of coffee, health drinks, smoothies and healthy delectable food. A definite recommend for quiet afternoons too if you need to study, do work or just to enjoy the ambiance of those around you.Parking: Plenty of free parking, just no overnight parking.“

“Fast service. Ambiance is so calming. Modern yet traditional. Not many places to sit but it's very welcoming if you just want to have your boba and go. The HNtea latte is beautiful to drink. There no in the face strong fake flavor. Felt authentic and calming to drink.“

“This place is in an amazing location. It's right on the beach in San Clemente. But BEWARE of the parking police. You have to pay a meter on an app. It was very confusing to figure this out. In fact, both my friend and I got a parking ticket that day (along with probably 10 others.) Besides this, it's a great cafe serving Panther coffee (roastery from Florida which I have been to)...they also have acai bowls, breakfast sandwiches, toasts, juices, and many other treats and foods. My friend and I had a lovely breakfast with a stunning beach view (park, walk down the hill, plant yourself on the beach, enjoy!Do be aware that you are paying for the lovely views. I think it cost close to $18 for a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. But, I get it. It's a great little spot!“
“I really enjoyed Krak! Came here to celebrate with friends, and was surprised and tickled at the card theme of the shop. Each table had a deck of cards! The boba was a little sweet, so I definitely recommend ordering a lower percentage of sugar. The staff were also super nice and we got our drinks pretty quickly considering how busy the shop was! Would definitely return, it's a great, unique little hangout spot more so than a study boba spot and we had a blast playing BS while sipping away at our drinks :)“

“I’ve been kinda expecting them to move for a while. While the plaza location was a great hole-in-the-wall to get them off the ground, this location is the much needed upgrade. Central, great seating and patio, and in a brand new building. I’m big on exposure and it gets the best sunlight for the morning hours and shade during the hot summer afternoons.Coffee is great and the baristas know what they’re doing. There isn’t a ton of coffee shops in Dana Point so this is a must try.“
“I only like this place because I have a capital one card HAHA 50% off drinks is a steal, especially if you like honey lavender lattes! They make it so good but it's on the sweeter side so I always add an extra shot of espresso and my total is usually around 4 bucks! Great place to study and in a convenient area for walking around. The workers are very nice too. If I'm ever in the area I'll always grab coffee here!“

“I scared the heck out of the young lady working behind the desk. She had gone into the back to get something and I kind of just popped out of nowhere.I told her that I had just come from another coffee, place down the street and I literally could not drink the espresso and poured it out so I decided to try this spot.I told her the pressure was on, she seemed excited about that ?.I told her I wasn’t going to tell her if the espresso was good or bad, I was just going to walk out.I turned back after I took my first sip and smiled. she got the idea.“
“I like this place. I come here to study often because of the convenience and I like how study-friendly it is (provides plenty of outlets and a printer). For prices, it's pretty decent. The drinks are OK, not the best but they'll do. I like the Avocado Dreamy and the Thai Tea. Past few times I've come here, the boba has been kind of hard in the middle, so if you can go without it, I'd skip. Also, the food is kind of whatever. The wings have a good flavor but past few times I've come they've been lukewarm. Today, I tried the potato corn dog and it was pretty disappointing. It was smaller than my palm, barely any cheese inside, and burned to a crisp. You're better off going to Mochinut around the corner. However, because I come here often and because I love the workers I can giving it 4 out of 5 stars.“
“We love this donut shop! We visit after our weekly ballet class at Tutu School, my girls look forward to the friendly service, and delicious and yummy offerings (their favorites include the giant cinnamon rolls, donut holes, maple bars and my personal favorite is their muffins). We usually opt for milk, chocolate milk, Martinelli's apple cider, or coconut water to go along with our donuts - but they have a plethora of beverage options and before pregnancy, I used to love their coffees (they're delicious). Also, the shop is very clean and beautifully decorated (lovely floors and I always enjoy their orchids). And there's a large selection of custom shakes/smoothies and handcrafted sandwiches - the pictures look incredible, but we haven't tried them yet as the donuts/muffins always win us over, haha.“
“A very premium coffee shop with great baked goods, some fresh made foods and healthy selections like chia bombs and yogurt parfaits. They have expanded into multiple locations but this shop operates like they are one of a kind.Owner has been present and accommodating during multiple visits.“
“Great service and food. Great local spot to patronize. Every time I need donuts and coffee for a work meeting I go here. Service is fast and the family that runs the place is awesome. Try the pre-made Stuffed croissants!Parking: Small parking lot and a few street spots but I've never had a problem parking here. Plenty of spots for the normal traffic.“
“Amazing service, came out to my high school for a presentation. Food items looked great and the tea is much better than your average tea house! Boba was nice and chewy, the containers sturdy, and not too sweet (I did order 25% though haha) Would come again :)“
“This is the 1ST time trying the coffee place out Peet's and must say the vanilla latte tasted good like they really took the time to make it right and the blueberry muffin was nice and fluffy and tasted rich in flavor definitely recommend this placeYou know I came back again today for the second time and walking in and been able to enjoy a relax environment in the morning is nice verses other places“
“My last review was so many years ago! We continue to love Lolas, we go almost every Sunday. They have so many vegan and vegetarian options. I love that they got rid of the plates and are back to serving food on the wood boards. My old favorite mixed berry flatbread wasn't as great a month or so ago, maybe because it wasn't berry seasons, but the Sunrise Flatbread is my new obsession. It is so good, just wish I could order it ahead on the clover app - there is some glitch that makes it requires to add 5 items on the flatbread in order to add it to your cart.“

“Went and got a Korean style lunch, the gochujjang pork rice bowl. It's was fine. Nothing special and very pricy for what it was. When I got there it was empty but it filled up quickly with blizzard employees. There are Korean side dishes that look homemade in the refrigerators for sale. I thought they were expensive too but ymmv.“
“My first time visiting this lovely cellar. It was a perfect day for a perfect alfresco lunch. We ordered the Spanish Charcuterie to start with, and although it appeared to be small, it was exactly enough for two to share. Every item was a standout on its own, and the mix was devine! I also ordered the chicken & waffles, and my friend ordered the beet salad. It was all delicious. Our server was the best, very attentive, but not overbearing.I give this place a 5 across the board, because we left feeling so pampered. I highly recommend stopping here, and, I certainly plan to return.“
“We are fans of this coffee shop, but for me it is mostly due to the location! We are not in this area often, but whenever we are nearby we make a stop over here. I have only been here twice, but it's now a situation where we need to stop by when we come this way. I remember enjoying my drink on my last visit, I believe I probably ordered a lavender latte. This time I tried the matcha latte, blue hummingbird style with spirulina. I have come to the conclusion that I am not really a fan of matcha with added vanilla or syrup. I like it straight and bitter. So, that was a bit sweet but the drink was cute. Service is A-OK. It was slow this last time. However, the location makes this place a gem. Check out the business photos. I could seriously relax here all the time if I was nearby.“
