They…read morehave so many varieties of beans to choose from and they can roast it to any level you want. The workers here are kind, just like one would expect from a traditional Japanese coffee shop. I also enjoy having their pour overs of the day while I wait for my coffee beans. Okayama Kobo Bakery is just a few doors down, so this is the perfect place to get good coffee and bread at the same time!

What an amazing addition to the neighborhood. We recently discovered Golden Lantern Coffee and were…read moregenuinely impressed from the moment we walked in. Matt, the owner, could not have been kinder or more welcoming. The shop was packed, which makes complete sense after trying the coffee, but the atmosphere was still comfortable and inviting. The interior is beautifully done with a lot of attention to detail, and even the cups are innovative and unlike anything we've seen at other coffee shops. As for the coffee, it was outstanding. We consider ourselves pretty serious coffee connoisseurs and go out of our way to try great coffee shops wherever we can. Golden Lantern is easily up there with the best we've ever had. Having a coffee shop of this quality basically within walking distance is dangerous in the best possible way. We've definitely found our new go-to spot and will be regulars from here on out. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and an owner who genuinely makes you feel appreciated. Highly recommend Golden Lantern Coffee.

Ever since I was shown SUR I am in here 4/7 days of the week. Their coffee is sooo good. Best in San Clemente- Hands down. Between their plain sourdough bagel and blueberry muffin their pastries and food is so bomb. I also come from a family where we own restaurants in the staff is so friendly and amazing. I truly love starting my day coming into this coffee shop. MUST TRY!!!!

This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

Came here on a whim yesterday to nest and study and I am so glad that I did! The coffee shop had…read moreplenty of seating and was very clean (I'm a neat freak so was definitely happy about this). They also had several outlets for to charge devices if needed and delicious air conditioning. The baristas were very friendly and kind and the atmosphere felt very comfy and relaxing. I especially liked their very chill music playlist. I ordered: - iced matcha latte w oat milk and vanilla (barista recommended) - banana oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and choco chips - plain bagel w cream cheese I really enjoyed the iced matcha, it is probably one of the better ones I have in OC. The matcha was super smooth and with the addition of the vanilla it created a sweet happy layer to it. I need to come back to try the other drinks! The banana oatmeal, while looking very tasty, didn't pass my satisfaction meter. The oatmeal in the bowl was cold and it was a thin layer of oats that laid on the bottom of the bowl. Presentation great, but for 9$, I would have wanted there to be at least 1-2 more scoops of oats in there to make it worth it. The plain bagel with cream cheese, I really enjoyed. The bagel was huge and it has a good toastiness to it. Additionally, the cream cheese was very light, not too rich and it helped make a delicious carb. Overall, I would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries from their menu! I also loved that the parking lot is easy to access and there are ample spots! Definitely try this spot, if you're in the area!

Customer Service: 5/5 The baristas are friendly and personable, creating small but genuine connections with customers that make the experience feel welcoming. Ambiance: 5/5 A great spot to catch up with friends and family or get some work and studying done. There's also outdoor seating available if the inside gets full.

When we approached the counter,…read morethe person working was very unwelcoming, not very friendly at all, no greeting, and made my wife feel uncomfortable as if they were annoyed with us being there. I don't know if it's because we are a Hispanic family but the vibe was unfriendly, even when grabbing my coffee, the same staff didn't seem as though she wanted to be there or be there to serve our order. I would hope a small business would lead with customer service and leaving their consumers with a positive experience. Not this place.

INC Coffee Roasters on Portola Parkway, is located inside of the beautiful Hoag building in Foothill Ranch. Who would've thought they'd have a coffee shop in there? Not I, that's for sure! I'm glad they're there though. I come out from an appointment and go straight to the coffee bar. From the fall seasonal menu, I ordered the maple pecan latte. It was so good. By the time I headed over for a drink though, there wasn't much pastries left so I had to head home with one hand empty. Bummer. Service is usually quick and they don't seem to get very busy, at least when I'm there. Price is a bit on the higher end, however, you can taste the difference with that first sip. I'm looking forward to grabbing a cup of something again real soon.

It's a different kind of coffee that I don't usually order but I was curious and I had to try it. I love Rose tea or coffee but I wasn't sure about the cardamom mixed with rose. Peculiar taste and not your ordinary coffee. I also ordered the salmon lox toast with capers on top. I've been so excited to try salmon lox again since I haven't eaten it in a while. It's very delicious and what a great breakfast! I will definitely order it again if I'm in the area. Ambiance is cute, clean and nice. They have big windows that shows what a beautiful day it is outside. Everyone is nice and was even giving compliments to each other.

Ambience 5/5 Located in the same plaza as sprouts, there is plenty of parking in the parking lot, when you walk in there are a mixture of tables and bar seating/booths along the wall. Grateful for groups of 4 to 5, we're coming here solo or for a coffee date. There are outlets along the front wall, our seating, and the booths on the side to get work done (great plus!). They do play music so noise level is average with the typical coffee shop. Sounds as well. What I really loved was the multitude of sitting areas around the whole coffee shop and also a little play area for toddlers. (Kitchen play) next to the door -- so adorable! Drink 5/5 I got a small lavender latte, it tastes super flavorful, strong lavender flavor, and I asked for a little bit light sweetness (less honey). Sometimes when I get lavender lattes, they have a little bit of bitter aftertaste, but this wasn't the case at all. They also have awesome looking seasonal flavors that I'll have to come back to try sometime. Service 5/5 I know others have had something to say, but everyone was super friendly and you could tell that coworkers got along -- seems like a really good work culture where people become friends :) Overall, I love to this coffee shop. If I lived near the area, I would definitely be a regular, but will certainly keep this as a place to stop by when I'm passing through the area!

This is a cute shop tucked into a business center, with plenty of outdoor seating that makes it a…read moregreat spot to chill in the afternoons. Lots of business people post up out here working or taking meetings, which makes it lively. Whenever I've been in, service has been friendly and I've never had an issue. The coffee is yummy and so are the pastries, and my little one is obsessed with their gelato. Milk options are great too, though they do upcharge for them, which is a minor gripe at most. I mostly stick to lattes, but their signature and seasonal drinks are worth branching out for. The coconut cloud matcha in particular is incredible. They also have an app with a loyalty program, which is a small but appreciated bonus for regulars. This is actually their flagship location, and they roast their own beans on site, so you can watch the roasting process happen while you sip your drink, a fun detail most people probably walk right past. Only real gripe is that they close at 2pm on weekends, which is exactly when I usually swing by. Wish they'd push it to 3pm. A girl can dream.

The everything bagel was toasted perfectly, and the chocolate muffin was soft, moist, and the perfect sweet treat alongside our drinks.

The café has a welcoming atmosphere and quality ingredients that really shine through in the food and drinks. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a good coffee or matcha run! Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area

Overall the experience was okay, but it didn't quite blow us away. The service felt pretty rushed…read morethey didn't really greet you or say hello, just asked for your order and waited. They also didn't offer much explanation about their drinks, so if you're not sure what you want, it can feel a little rushed. Inside seating is very limited, which makes sense for the size. The highlights for us Young man offered me a sample of Kombucha: the kombucha was solid, and refreshing. Both the regular latte and the black latte were okay. The blackberry latte was better. One nice bonus is there's a great park just around the corner down the hill with beautiful views. You can grab your drink and drive over to sit and enjoy it there, which is a nice touch. But honestly, it's probably not worth making a special drive for.
