“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!“
“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 :)“
“*****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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“This place is much improved, especially in the attitude of the staff (there are still some staffers who are a touch conceited, but minority). Drinks are made well and as quickly as can be when the aim is high quality. Food takes a while, but is worth it. The seating and vibe of the place is chill and good.A change I would like to see is, when ringing in any drink made from the bar, if the cashier would look to the espresso bar and provide an estimation (or disclaimer) on timing of the drink. Even just a "we've a number of orders from the bar, and I want to make sure a five minute wait works with you", etc.“
“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 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!“
“This is my new home...great maple bars...great people and great donuts and coffee and lots of other good stuff. If you're not starting your morning here? Well...Parking: Plenty of parking right in front.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Delicioua doughnuts! I was in the neighborhood, so I stopped by to grab a dozen doughnuts. Everyone loved them and said that they were tasty, dense, and perfectly sweet! The cream filled one was the most popular. I really liked the chocolate twist! Yum!“
“Such a cool little spot with great coffee and food. The tacos were amazing. Decor is a 10/10. I grew up in San Clemente and it's so cool coming back and seeing places like this. Lots of different seating and also great accessibility with a built in ramp.Parking: Has a drive-thru and parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp, big bathrooms, accessible seating and ordering“
“Stopped in here today for coffee and a snack after doing some indoor rock climbing. It was close to the end of the day and the staff were tired but still so kind and helpful. Very quick service. I ordered a latte and a California avocado toast; my friend ordered a latte with the veggie sandwich. Both meals were delicious and the multigrain bread was amazing. I love the booths and wooden tables inside the shop and the cozy decor. There is also a large patio out front to enjoy on warmer days. I will definitely be back - quality of the food was just what we were looking for.“
“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!! ? ?“
