5 Best Coffee Roasters near San Clemente

“If you are of the third wave coffee persuasion, then this is a spot for you. Light roasted, single origin coffees brewed by pour over and an espresso bar with classic drinks like the cappuccino and cortado.

I tried the pink bourbon, which is a columbian coffee, black and hot. The roast was spot on— no ashy taste. But the thing that was most impressive was that the coffee gave me a strong impression of grapefruit and bitters (like jasmine tea or, interestingly, a Negroni). The coffee is light, acidic, and finishes with dark chocolate notes.

The baristas were quick and helpful, having both of our drinks out in under 5 minutes.

The cafe had good lighting and ambiance, though seating was limited. Some outside seating was available as well.“

“I stopped in for an iced latte, and it was fantastic. There’s plenty of parking both in front and back, which made it super convenient. The vibe inside was awesome—surfboards and a vintage motorcycle added a cool, laid-back touch to the decor. The staff were friendly and casually dressed, which matched the relaxed atmosphere perfectly. The customers all seemed easygoing and chill, making it a really comfortable spot to hang out. If I had more time, I definitely would have stayed longer. I’ll for sure be coming back whenever I’m in the area.“

“I've been buying my coffee beans here for the last year and a half, and Daisuke and Taka have always been friendly and helpful. When I mentioned on my first visit that I'd just bought an espresso machine, they reminded me to wait 4-5 days before making coffee with fresh beans so I wouldn't have a bad experience.

The beans are really, really good!“

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

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