Cafes near Rancho Santa Margarita

“What an amazing spot for a meal. I decided to try this establishment for the first time and wow! Yes, a grand slam. The place is quite popular and I did not even know it was here as I drive this area often. I ordered the California Omelet with fresh fruit and a cup of bold coffee and chose to eat outside in the patio. Isabella brought out my food and was kind, professional and efficient. I told her I was going to leave a review and she laughed and said if it's bad the name is Donnie. So worth a chuckle. All of the staff are friendly, kind and professional. I was even offered a free pastry for my first time visit but declined simply due to my diet and watching my intake. Lol A wonderfully positive ambiance.
Highly recommended“

“The manager at this Panera is ON. I have been to many Panera’a and this is the most motivated hands on manager I have ever seen. Have seen him take over all facets of the business, front counter, chef, line, tables. This place is clean, calm and quick food. The only suggestion is fix the tuna please. I know you can do better. Thank you“

“The definition of a local hole in the wall, one-man show. Tim is cranking out orders and still has the sweetness to chat with his customers. Breakfast sandwich is delicious and just the right portion. Coffee is rich, strong, and not bitter. This is what coffee shops should be—local, intimate, quaint, and friendly. Props to Tim for supporting local law enforcement.

Heads up: they stop serving food at 12.“

“Welp! As the owner, I have to say it’s a sweet lil spot with great food on the weekends and a perfect spot to pick up anything you need during the week. A great getaway from the madness downtown and a place to reflect and be grateful.“

“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!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Great donuts and excellent service“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

“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.“

“It was a great spot for a quiet chat with friends. I wasn't sure if the person serving us was an employee or the owner, but they were incredibly friendly—and the food was delicious, too! It’s the kind of place I’d almost rather keep all to myself.“

“Don't miss this wonderful place. Once you try BrioBrio's delicious food, you'll regret you hadn"t discovered It before. Thanks Naoko and Ruichi for feeding our body and soul!!!“

“Toastique is one of those spots that instantly makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your food. Everything is super fresh, beautifully presented, and honestly tastes just as good as it looks. From the savory avocado toast to the sweet toast and the acai bowls, every bite feels clean, flavorful, and satisfying without being too heavy.
It's the perfect little foodie stop for a cute brunch date or a solo treat-yourself moment. Definitely a go-to when you're craving something fresh, aesthetic, and feel-good.“

“Nothing is better than fresh croissant! Great family owned place. Very friendly prices. Signature Butter Croissants baked daily. The taste is balances, very mild sweet as I like, texture is between the super fluffy croissant and the bun, I really liked it. The chocolate croissant was a totally different story, check the picture. The taste was like it was baked sometime this week :) and the texture was like it is a bun with chocolate. So do not expect the same excitement from their chocolate croissant as from their signature plain croissants, which are super awesome and could be used for French toast and sandwiches as well and any filling. Next time I will take fresh plain croissant and fill it with chocolates home :) Next time we will try their breakfast / lunch menu. It looks awesome and the customers I met were happy. Update: amazing place with unique home character, loving breakfast here“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“Amazing coffee and food. Very good ingredients.“

““The pink coconut matcha drink was refreshing, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The coconut flavor blended smoothly with the matcha without being too sweet. It had a beautiful presentation and tasted just as good as it looked. A unique and delicious drink I would definitely order again!”
Service was good.

The only con about it .. it smelled like perm from hair chemicals“

“What you have to know about this place is that it is the on-site restaurant at Glen Eden Sun Club, which is a nudist resort.

The staff is amazing, the food is very good and a good value, and the location is convenient in the resort.

It hits the spot when I don't feel like cooking for myself. They do have limited hours but are open during typical popular times such as evenings and weekends.“

“My sister ordered a matcha latte and the gradient was well made! There is still a noticeable difference in the quality and flavor of the matcha latte with Okayama Kobo Bakery and Cafe. However, my sister and I really appreciated the indoor seating that the combined matcha station and poke restaurant offered. There’s a good amount of seating inside in addition to outlets. And in favorable weather, the outside seating that the stores share is another good option. Service was kind and immediate. Bathroom was clean and well kept which made stopping by even better. God bless you all+“

“I had such an amazing experience here! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with incredible warmth and kindness. The Persian hospitality is truly on another level, they genuinely make you feel like family.

The staff were all so friendly, attentive, and caring, but I want to give a special thank you to Anita. She went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful experience, and her kindness and positive attitude made my visit even more memorable.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional from start to finish.

I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Persian food and unforgettable hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! ❤“

The drinks are made w quality ingredients and love. I never liked matcha until Oslo, especially enjoy the one w lavender. Coffee is amazing. Always the kindest people I meet there. Enjoyed chatting wca beautiful young Momma and her baby. Highly recommend.“

“There bagels are better than the ones in New York. They are always fresh big and super delicious. They even have lox in cream cheese. The staff are always super friendly and helpful.“

“Love the pastries and bought a cake“

“Why hasn't anyone talked about this hidden gem. The staff is so friendly reminded me of my own family. So sweet and friendly. They have baked fresh breads and desserts. Their spinach and feta with garlic pastry was so delicious I didn't even take a photo. Cause it was so addicting. It melted in my mouth and every part of this pastry was so worth it. This place is very clean and cozy. If your looking to try something new or something familiar and with great customer service come here.“

“We are in the city of Laguna Beach. Stopped a this place to have dinner. Great sandwiches. Had a Turkado and pastrami. Pricing was very, very reasonable! Highly recommended if you are in the area. This would be my new favorite place if it was in Riverside.

Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere ♥️“

“Best Veggie Sandwich around. People are super friendly and the food is made to order with little wait time.“

“Very good food with my baby“

“Some friends and I met here on. Saturday morning to discuss a book we are all reading together. We got to sit in the only large circular booth because we arrived a few minutes before opening at 7:30 and so were the first ones in the door. There are several other standard booths and plenty of other seating as well even a bit later when traffic picked up. Our server Carolina was very attentive and friendly, and that large circular booth was the perfect place for a good discussion. Everyone seemed happy with their food. I got the Ranchero Skillet, which was quite spicy but Carolina had warned me. The coffee was great, and they did a good job of coming around frequently to refill coffee and water.“

“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.“

“Beef dip sandwich…. So good“
