Laguna Beach ☕️
Tucked into the heart of Laguna Beach, Succulent Coffee Roasters is the kind of place that feels like a warm hug in a cup. Their brown sugar latte? Absolute magic—smooth, just sweet enough, and probably one of the best I’ve ever had. No exaggeration....
Succulent Coffee Roasters
Such a solid little spot—right by the beach, super chill, and always good vibes. The coffee’s legit (like, you can taste the care), and the team is friendly in a real way, not the fake-smile kind. Great place to start your day if you want something c...
Bear Coast Coffee
A cozy little gem with big heart vibes. Family-owned, ocean breeze in the air, and some of the smoothest espresso around. Perfect for a soulful sip before a beach stroll. ☕🌊💛
Jedidiah Coffee
Small, local, warm vibes. Beans roasted on-site, and it’s got that “come hang, stay a while” energy. Not pretentious, just really good coffee with a little soul.
Laguna Coffee Company
Bright, friendly, and seriously dialed-in when it comes to their beans. This is the kind of spot where the baristas actually care, but it never feels snobby. Everything’s well-balanced and smooth, and it’s a great first stop if you’re kicking off a s...
Rapport Coffee Roasters - Laguna Beach
A little quirky in the best way. MoonGoat does some wild but weirdly genius flavor combos (try their “Churro” latte if you’re feeling cozy and curious). It’s got an easygoing, creative vibe—like somewhere you’d end up sketching or journaling without ...
MoonGoat Coffee
Honestly just a feel-good spot. It’s small, local, and super welcoming—the kind of place where they remember your name if you come in more than twice. The coffee’s always fresh (they roast it themselves), and the vibe feels like a little pocket of ca...
High Tide Coffee Laguna Niguel
Modern, minimal, and just a little edgy. Their Vietnamese-style coffee is bold but smooth, and that sea-salt foam? Yeah, it’s kinda magic. Great for a quick caffeine hit before a beach walk or checking your email like you mean it.
Blk Dot Coffee
Feels like your quiet garden daydream. Sit outside, sip a lavender latte, pretend you’re in a French art film. Bonus: their little breakfast plates and veggie options hit every time.
Zinc Café & Bar
A bit more of a “scene,” but in a good way. Super photogenic, super tasty, and they really go all in on quality—organic coffee, fancy drinks, solid food. You’ll probably leave with a new favorite tea and three pics for your story.
Urth Caffe
Set in an old theater, which already makes it cool. A little artsy, a little surfy, and totally community-driven. If you’re into good coffee and creative spaces, you’ll be into this.
Equator Coffees
Okay, it’s literally on the beach. The vibe is surfy and sandy, and the coffee tastes better just because of the ocean air. It’s casual, almost like a secret beach shack—but in the kind of way that makes you want to bring friends back the next day. B...
Lost Pier Cafe
Huntington Beach Coffee
Right across from the beach, and honestly, it just feels like Huntington. You grab a cold brew, sit by the window, and people-watch with the ocean in the background. Super relaxed, good vibes, and everything on the menu feels like it belongs on a sun...
602 Coffee House
This one’s such a gem. The space is minimal but warm, and the coffee is suuuper smooth—like, you can tell they know their beans. They’ve got this oat milk mocha situation that hits every time. It’s where I go when I want to feel like I have my life t...
Sur Coffee: Craft Coffee & Specialty Café
So soft and sweet—it’s got that “slow morning” energy. You walk in and it already smells like something cozy. The lavender drinks are lovely (yep, I said lovely), and the little corner seating makes you want to stay and journal or just sit with your ...
Milk & Honey
Total local staple. It’s inside Huntington Surf & Sport, so it’s kind of a coffee-surf mashup. I always grab a latte and a donut before heading to the beach—nothing fancy, just really good and reliably happy-making.
Java Point
Okay this one’s special. The coffee is great (like, cinnamon-sugar espresso magic), but the story behind it makes it even better. They support and employ people with disabilities, and the energy in there is genuinely kind. It’s one of those feel-good...
INC COFFEE ROASTERS
Coffee in SoCal ☕️
Le Café de la Plage is a cozy, casual café tucked away on Heathercliff Road in Malibu. It blends French-inspired charm with a laid-back California beach vibe. The café is best known for:
Artisan coffee (third-wave style)
House-made ice cream with sea...
