If you're like me, you need your daily coffee fix. In Southern Orange County we are lucky enough to have an abundance of great options. Best of all, most of these coffee shops include a variety of food options to start your morning right as well as satiate your breakfast cravings.
With two locations nearby, one in Laguna Niguel and the other in San Clemente, High Tide Coffee offers a very diversified menu. They have specialty drinks such as a Chagaccino (mushroom coffee), Snickerdoodle Latte, Rose Latte, and many more. Their pastries are so good it will be impossible to resist.
This coffee spot is one of my absolute favorites because it is located right by the Dana Point Harbor. There is nothing better than sipping on my morning coffee while looking at some spectacular boats parked at the docks. The Coffee Importers has a large food menu available all day!
You can find Bear Coast Coffee in San Clemente or Dana Point. Their coffee is amazing and their shops are in great areas offering a nice ambience. This can be a good place to get in a few hours of work when it is not too busy.
This is the perfect spot to meet up with a friend or colleague, located in downtown San Juan Capistrano. The coffee is great and the food is even better! Ellies Table also offers Gluten-Free and Vegan options for those with dietary restrictions.
