This little coffee shop is pretty cool. They roast their own beans and the coffee has great flavor! I’ll definitely be back for more coffee. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best coffee I have had in southern Orange County. You can tell the owners care about crafting delicious coffee and are fully immersed in the lifestyle of roasting, brewing and selling coffee.

An unusual plaza to have an awesome hipster coffee place, nonetheless, Im glad I ran across this place. Definitely a future customer.To start, the interior decore caught my attention from the start. Has an LA coffee shop vibe with its wooden furniture and olive green wall paint. A plethora of books and mags to choose from if you didnt bring any homework to keep you busy. Small and intimate, really great for solo book worms and small groups.My girlfriend and I ordered the Vanilla Latte and Cappucino, both with oat milk. An order of avocado toast with cream cheese just for curiosity. The beverages were delicious! Frothy and aromatic. It even came in sturdy ceramic cups! The toast was amazing! Thick crunchy sourdough dressed with an arugula salad and sweet vinaigrette(will need to replicate sometime). Good customer service too. The only downside I would say about this place is maybe more sturdier tables for the inside ones, a bit on the smaller side lol.

Best cafe and coffee roaster in San Clemente! Ive tried everything on their drink menu and have never once been disappointed. The owners are friendly an personable. They obviously care very much about their customers and community.

Absolutely amazing, Worth going out of your way. Direct relationships with coffee farms. Chill vibe. The trio is a must have; consisting of a single shot of espresso, a macchiato, and finally a sparkling water with a dash of their in house made coffee fruit simple syrup. I also purchased the Costa Rica pour over (v60). Which he proudly sold as a COE winner. These guys care about coffee at every stage... from farm to cup.

Wow! Stumbled across this awesome coffee shop while waiting for an appointment. I got an iced vanilla oat milk latte, it was perfect. I really like the way theyre working through Covid with the quaint window service set up. Very friendly as well. Keep up the good work folks!

Amazing little spot in San Clemente, reminds me of European coffee shops like the ones in Madrid. One of the few places in SoCal that serves the refreshing coffee tonic (pic below). Cheap drip coffee to higher end coffees served in this minimalist study spot.

BEST Iced Vanilla Latte that can be found in San Clemente. I found this place during quarantine because it was the only coffee shop I could find that was open for pick up and man am I glad I found this place. Such well curated coffee and tasty drinks!

The best coffee shop in OC? Well I am not a coffee drinker but my wife is a serious one and had a COE pour over, she just drink it straight and it was out of this world. I had a matcha and both the matcha (sweet) and avocado toast (savory) were great. We will definitely looking foward to come back.

My daughter found this place, and we are so glad she did. The coffee is simply the best! So smooth and full of flavor. They also have extremely delicious toasts. So good! The ambiance is relaxing and casual. The staff is super nice and very friendly. They always have a smile when we walk in. We cant say enough about this place. So thankful they are in our area!

Review №25

Great cold brew!!! pour over is pretty pricey for a cup of coffee. I hope they can stay in business with those prices. The candles they were selling were amazing as well but again very high priced. Not sure how I feel about the atmosphere. Super chill but kind of felt like a doctors office waiting room. The surfboard in the corner helped a ton but it still was too stark and cold feeling at least for my taste. Not a place Id want to hang out in.

Rapport is unlike any place Ive visited. The coffee is perfect. The music is soft and very unique. The interior is comfortable and beautiful. The service couldnt be better! I love good coffee and Rapport makes me happy.

Just stopped in as a pit stop on our drive and wow! The coffee and cold brew have tremendously flavor and are so smooth, just enjoy black. They select and roast their beans and the quality shows. And the guys were very kind and helpful, explaining the beans and the process. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best espresso in south orange county and the best Ive ever had. They show a true love, care, and appreciation for their craft. From meeting with farmers to source beans, to doing their own roasting, to calibrating their machines to adjust for slight changes in humidity and temperature throughout the day, the dedication these guys have to making the most excellent coffee is unparalleled.

Review №35

Is this really happening? Espresso as it should be? In a tiny cup with water on the side?Have I died and gone to heaven; no one else is around? This begs the question, is Starbucks hell? From my highly comfortable position in the best coffee shop Ive been in since the early nineties, listening to some Asian fusion jazz, about to dig into some R.A. Salvatore, yes this is heaven!Why is this place empty? Blows starbys doors of, get your ass in here S.C., claim some cool for yourself!
