“This the most wonderful bakery!! What a blessing to have them in San Clemente!
The pastries, breads & lunches are absolutely delicious! The outdoor patio is a happy place to take a break & enjoy life on Avenida Del Mar. But perhaps the most fabulous thing of all is the caring people who work behind the counter, who dedicate themselves to helping every customer to have a lovely day.
Thank you, Chaupain!🌈“

Parking: There is a free parking lot just around the corner that had plenty of spots, but I imagine on weekends it's probably harder to find parking.“

“This is my second time coming and I had an even better experience than the first time. It was very busy while I was there, but the service was incredible.

I will definitely make sure to keep coming here anytime I am hungry for an açaí bowl!“

“Coffee Birthday to me !
It was where I want it to be!

☕️ ?
I’m super fan hunting locals coffee shops, it was so cozy the place with a incredible playlist music, I appreciate the simple but significant art for me , like the moodboards and magazine, to disconnect to the world and appreciate the moment.“

“Delicious chicken bowls, caterpillar rolls and udon. Friendly cashier and someone just came around to the front to bring us an extra needed chair unasked which we appreciated!

Kid-friendliness: Casual. A bar-type counter inside with stools and tables outside“

“Amazing! The s'more and the parent trap are the winners! Hands down. We could have shared, so much bar left over, because it is so sweet and way to much sugar. Street parking can be challenging. And the line can be long, but it is worth it, and moves quickly, unless you have indecisive kids, like me. Bring water or buy water, as the bars make one really thirsty.“

“Fantastic comedy night, been three times now and each night was awesome! Especially hilarious set by Robert Duchaine.“

“Ladies and gentleman Buckle up for this adventure Im your hostess with the mostest Hey nice to meet you my names is lickety well anywho here we go because I’ve got a story to tell. In n out now thats a name i havent heard in a long time. So I walk in I forgot Spencer works there now I should’ve known the smell of the double triple Shimmy shimmy deluxe on a wrap 4x4 animal style with light axle Grease and well what do you know there i see Spencer’s behind the counter and he was Telling one of those kids with a propellor hat and Big lolipop what he needs to order On this juniper evening well anywho back to the Main point

Spencer is a guy who’s got a secret menu that guess what he invented it and manufactured it himself even though half of the stuff he orders doesn’t exist He trains a cashier like he’s training for the Natural Contest of guess what its call I like to call it this nifty little catchphrase :The natural
olympics of a complicated hambruger Yeah I’ll take the Double-Double Animal Style no onions, shimmy shimmy deluxe, etc but maybe just make sure the lettuce is only on the left side of the bun win a side of fries Well-done frie But not too well-done, just a little crispy, imagine if they Could speek to Us in a human monkey Dystopian Nation they Might say I want fries but not too committed to being fries I move all the way from idaho Anywho
The kid stared at him, blinking and Spencer gazed intenstly into his eyes and Looked at him with a look that can only be described like this Imagine how a hungry Tiger Wildebeast stares into the Eyes of a wounded gazelle and guess what he uttered to him Something that is only In private between spencer and his prey Anwho if you go to In-N-Out and Spencer’s there, just know you might actually be able to order the shimmy shimmy deluxe which by the way is actually pretty good or you may not like it if you are into the simple things of live Sort of like old timey al Either way you’ll never be bored so I’m giving this place a 10/10.“

“Quality food at fair prices! Can't wait to come back & actually sit down in the nice dining area. 👍🏼“

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

“Service was great, friendly staff.We didn't even get a chance to take a picture of our bowls because they looked so good we dived in before thinking about a photo. We got a lower and a doho. Doho was perfectly balanced not overly sweet considering it had nutella and coco nibs. and loved that it had enough granola to carry it though to the end. Will definitely stop by again when in the area.Parking is tight, but it's worth the struggle. And if you don't find parking in main lot across the street is additional parking.“

“Great place and pretty authentic food and top margaritas.“

“Excellent experience! Excellent food! Excellent service! Fantastic little owner owned/operated Northern Italian cuisine restaurant. We will return!“

“Delicious fresh food. The crepes were excellent. The coffee was great 😃👍🏽and omelette delicious 😋“

“delicious breakfast best hashbrowns ever!“

“This location isn't too small or big it was just the right size, enough to place an order and go. It seems they change their flavors weekly? I'm not too sure, but now that I finally got around to posting my review a week or so later, the menu has changed.
The person who took my order was ok. He didn't really make an effort to recommend certain cookies or anything.
I ordered 1/2 dozen cookies so that we can sample all the flavors and one large banana upside down cake.

1. Milk chocolate chip - I think it was the best. You can't mess with a classic.

2. Pink velvet cake cookie - I'm not too sure what they were going for here. Is it supposed to be similar to a red velvet cake only pink? Didn't really taste like anything.

3. Kentucky butter cake - Everyone seems to rave about this, but after trying it, I'm not sure what all the hype was about.

4. Confetti milkshake - Tasted like a sugar cookie with confetti sprinkles

5. Sticky bun - This was definitely sticky, but I liked what they tried to do here.

6. Large banana upside down cake - This tasted like a banana bread, fluffy, and moist. I liked the whip cream or whatever it was with the caramel drizzle.

Overall, it was alright. Something good to try again and try the new flavors they have. I like that they are trying to be creative and innovative with the flavors. Maybe I'm just old school and prefer Mrs. Fields.“

“Good people good times good beer. A+“

“Great Service, Knowledgeable Staff.“

“This spot caught me by surprise. Great wine selection and flights. The appetizers were amazing. I could eat a massive bowl of that bisque with the crostini. The crazy thing is all four of us got the burger! One of the best burgers I've had and the fries were killer too. Looking forward to eating there again.“

“Went on a slow day and time but killer menu and nice facility.

Parking: Parking lot across the street

Kid-friendliness: Seemed like a fine bar restaurant to bring a two year old but we did go when it was dead“

“Amazing venue, Great beers and pizza! A must do if you are in the area!“

“Great place & Beer list. Smokehouse & plenty of room. Very friendly place“

“I stumbled upon this area unexpectedly and decided to explore. This restaurant was open and it looked very elegant and clean. There was plenty of seating outside and I liked that the soup ? of the day was cream of broccoli. I decided to enjoy a bow and it was delicious ?. It was creamy but you could still savor chunks of broccoli. It hit the spot! For some reason, it took a long time for my order to arrive. The staff was professional and cordial. I wish there were more than 1 Italian red wine available. I enjoyed a nice glass of Californian Pinot Noir.
I thought prices were average and the happy hour offers discounts.
You can get a little view if the Pacific Coast I'd you sit outside facing West.
I would definitely come back.“

“Great location, excellent food and drink! Bring your friend ms for a great time!“

“Outstanding Burgers, Salads, Carnitas sandwiches, hot dogs! I’ve had them all.. Best place to enjoy with family and friends.“

“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!“

“It was a great experience. We were greeted in the sidewalk and sat right away. I ordered the açaí bowl and was not disappointed!! My partner got the eggs Benedict with hash browns and he enjoyed it. I also ordered a chai latte which was pretty epic. Definitely a highlight.“

“Best Ice Cream around, so many great flavors. I can't wait to try them all“

“I will say this place is amazing I’ve been very happy with every bite of my Baja beef wrap I had the spinach tortilla as my wrap and the secret sauce as my condiment and I can’t recommend it enough the outdoor seating area was perfect for socializing and enjoying the weather. The flavor is perfect with portion and I ordered the small size drink which for my weight loss goals was ideal!!“

“I love Juice My Heart in San Clemente! It is my go-to place for fresh carrot juice and good sunshiney vibes. See Diana for your shot of wheat grass and vegetable juice chaser. I highly recommend! 💛 ☀️ 🥤“

“Amazing pizza and atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back again!“

“Amazing taco 🌮 experience“

“I enjoy walking on the beach in the morning then stopping by bear coast for coffee I had a dark moca latte I bought a heavy bear coast mug to drink it in. The girls made the pretty design with the cream .sat out front on the little chair and table set visited with a friend and family. I Wish they still served the bear claw pastry or the individual berry pie. I like their teas also.“

“DELICIOUS !!! food and wonderful people“

“Mulligans has everything you want in a bar. 2 separate sections for pool tables, they make one pool table a pingpong table upon request, and have delicious food! Be prepared to wait a while if you're ordering on the weekend nights! They have a back patio and allow me to bring both my non service dogs in with me inside and out. The pub people are very friendly and like to mingle with every one else. Is great!“

“great food!!!! reasonable pricing!!! please experience their food!! nice people fast service!! love this place!!!“

“So walked by this place not really sure if I would enjoy it ? or not. Seen this roll called sexy hand roll with a soy wrap instead of your normal seaweed wrap. Walked in and right away was asked (How may I help you?) By the cashier. She took my order and so I asked for the sexy hand roll and I was very impressed by the taste and how it was prepared ?. Sexy hand roll $7.95“

“Great music venue! We had a blast playing here Mother's Day for Kim and her outstanding team. Thanks, Barnoa!“

“Lisa Lisa Lisa!!! She simply makes you feel like you're the only one in the bar. The ambiance is amazing while you have a beautiful breeze coming through the outdoor patio area (that's my favorite part of the bar). There's billiards and a super fun lovely community that calls this place their local bar! Lisa knows what she's doing and her customer service speaks for itself. If you're in San clemente and looking for the locals' bar, Outrigger tavern is where to go

Parking: Plenty of space to park

Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheel chair accessible“
