“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!!!!!“

“Sur Coffee on El Camino Real is one of those spots that immediately communicates the quality of life San Clemente offers. Brought clients here after a morning of showings near the pier area — the coffee was excellent, the minimalist space was thoughtfully designed, and the overall vibe was exactly right for a seaside town that attracts discerning buyers. The espresso program is serious and well-executed. When I'm helping clients envision their daily routines in a new community, a place like Sur Coffee does a lot of the heavy lifting. It's the kind of neighborhood anchor that tells buyers they've made the right choice.“

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

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“Fantastic all around. The picnic sandwich with the sweet mustard and pickled onions is amazing. They're homemade pastries are always fresh. The chocolate chip cookie is my favorite, soft but not too soft, and not too sweet at all. I like the Italian creme soda but it comes unsweetened, so I add a little bit of maple syrup or agave 👌“

“Love the cellar!!! And it is walking distance so it’s perfect“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast food items“

“I went here for a quick coffee stop and to check out this place as an out of tow visitor to Cali! I first ordered a drip coffee but switched to an Americano due to them being out. This caused an error on the computer where the manager ended up just giving me my coffee for free. I really appreciated that gesture and love the vibe of this place! I will definitely pay it forward and continue to come here. The espresso was delicious! There was no wait and I was greeted upon entry by the barista. Would highly recommend 🫶🏼“

“Tracy and her team have exceeded my expectations both times I've ordered custom cakes. Not only do they look amazing they taste amazing too!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Such a cute place! Amazing bowls and flavors. also gave free extra smoothies to my kiddos ❤️ Staff is very nice and welcoming 10/10“

“delicious breakfast best hashbrowns ever!“

“I was off from work and Googled some coffee spots nearby, and this one came up, it caught my attention because it’s simply called Matcha (which I found kind of funny).

We ordered three drinks: a Mocha Frappe, Thai Milk Tea, and Matcha Latte.

I’ve tried all of these before at different cafes, but here’s my take: the Mocha Frappe was way too sweet for my taste, we even had to add some milk at home to balance it out. The other two drinks were good though!

Prices are reasonable, and the service was friendly. Thank you to the servers for making our drinks.. you all deserve appreciation!“

“Great pharmacy for getting vaccinated for Covid-19 and the Flu at the same time!“

“I continuously have the best experiences with the baristas here. All of them have been great, but Chanelle especially is awesome. I hadn't been in this location in many months and when I walked in the other day she remembered my name and my exact order. And she's always super friendly and professional. My drinks are always made great.“

“The best restaurant in Mission Viejo and don’t forget all the yummy donuts. Everything is delicious and excellent menu. Staff is very friendly.“

“Amazing donuts as well as the woman who served me. Getting to know San Clemente I came across this great place close to the beach. I like areas better when they have places like this with such nice, friendly customer service as well as totally delicious donuts; now I like San Clemente even more!“

“Just ordered an undertow at the Ortega location and they completely butchered it so I had to just pour it out. This location decided to comp my drink due to such a bad experience. The whole team was busy during cars and coffee but they still did an excellent job pumping the drinks out and mason made a fantastic drink! Great experience and I’ll be taking all my coffee business here from now on!“

“Always friendly staff. Like most places, it can get busy and could use a bit more seating inside. Still a great location though!“
