This is the best meal I've had in south orange county. I'm not kidding. I ordered the BLAT salad. The salad had pickled veggies and a generous portion of pork belly which was a wonderful surprise. Already craving my next one and it's only been a day?

I stumbled upon this place randomly and it turned out to be one of the best lunches I've had all year. I had the tuna melt and it's honestly one of the best I've ever had. I also got the salted caramel latte and it was outstanding. The people that work here were all super nice and helpful as well. I will absolutely be back.

Recently visited this cafe with expectations of a delightful avocado toast experience. Unfortunately, it turned out to be quite disappointing. The bread was underwhelming and the avocado was noticeably unripe, contributing to what was arguably the worst avocado toast I’ve had. Although I didn’t try their bakery items, which looked decent, the main attraction fell significantly short. If you’re going for the avocado toast, you might want to reconsider.

Pacific Pearl Cafe made our Thanksgiving!! I will never cook Thanksgiving dinner again. I ordered Thanksgiving meal for 7; it was warm and ready for the 1:00 pick up on Thanksgiving day. We ate at 1:30. The turkey was moist, the spices perfect. I am thankful that you easily substituted apple pie for pumpkin pie. Thank you Pacific Pearl for gifting us a delicious Thanksgiving meal and with no shopping, no prep, and no dishes to clean afterwards!

I had heard about this place and so glad I finally stopped by. I had a pour over coffee and the maple brown butter carrot cake…both were fantastic. Great customer service and vibe about the place. Will definitely return, highly recommend.

The best! Pacific Pearl is a San Juan Capistrano treasure. The food is delicious and the quality of the ingredients is outstanding (with consideration to food allergies). Added plus is the owner and staff are incredibly nice. Love this place!

I bought an Apple pie for a Thanksgiving party - it was super delicious and the presentation was excellent. Multiple people at the party raved about it and said it was the best apple pie they ever had, and two texted me today asking for their info. I’ve never had such a strong reaction before! They were very friendly to boot.I’d highly recommend them!

10/10 coffee, drinks, and desserts! We had the egg bites, breakfast burrito, and a seasonal sweet potato and pecan pie slice. Make sure you try something that is garnished with the house made pickles, they really take the food to the next level!I saw they had some unique flavored coffee drinks but tbh I stick to the espresso and almond milk- which was strong and much better than st*rb*cks This spot is a definite must try if you're in the area

I don't usually write reviews, but this cafe is worth it. The staff is super friendly and their menu is healthy and flavorful. They have a ton of gluten-free options, my personal favorite is the Banana Bread and Dark Chocolate Cookie with Seal Salt Crystals, Yum! Also, if you want a coffee made with quality ingredients order yours here. I promise you will be impressed, way better than a chain coffee shop, plus is nice and responsible to support a local business. I am hooked on the Lavander Latte with Oatmilk!
Pacific Pearl Cafe is amazing! The food is truly amazing and so is the coffee. If you haven't checked it out then go immediately!

This place has so many delicious gluten free baked goods to go with an extensive coffee lineup!! Also their sandwich and salad lists are filled with fresh produce from the ecology center. Every menu item can be crafted to suit any dietary restrictions. The two chefs really go out of their way to accommodate!!This is a must if you are in the San Juan Capistrano area!!!!!

I ordered the ecology salad, the Dijon dressing was delicious and the pickled veggies were good, but they used iceberg lettuce instead of what is listed on the menu (Arugula, quinoa etc) and that was disappointing. Iceberg lettuce is just water, no nutrients.
