I've been wanting to try this place after seeing it all over social media. It was such a cute small place and loved the theming, but prices are quite high. I got their seasonal specialty latte which had cookie butter and cold foam and added oat milk (+$1) and the drink came out to be over $10 so pretty pricey for just an okay drink. Parking is pretty limited (mostly just street parking) but expected for a beach town. Overall, great vibes, just wish prices weren't so high and parking was easier. read more

The coffee is okay and it's overpriced. The customer service, however, is terrible. I had an issue with my order, and when I went back to explain what happened, I was met with a dismissive attitude and no interest in making it right. What really lost my business wasn't the issue itself it was seeing how they handle criticism. Instead of responding professionally, they post negative reviews on Instagram and mock their customers. I prefer to support businesses that treat customers with respect, even when they receive negative feedback. read more

I came in without reading reviews bc it's a cute concept. Branding is cute but that's where it ends. Some event going on and the owner was there as was her kid who slurped the top of the whipped cream canister and put it back into the fridge. Check the cameras 5:30pm today before you blast it on insta. Now for the drinks - weak, light and overpriced. Lemon bar was very white and lacked coffee. I suggest going to picnic since that coffee was bold, cute and delicious. read more

Drinks are overpriced and trash, service is equally garbage, parking sucks. You're better off going to Starbucks - hell, even McDonald's! They can't take criticism either so they mock their one-star reviews on social media and have their lackeys leaving defensive reviews on here LMAO. Update on the sore individuals who own this place: They tried to report my Instagram account for "fraud" because I told them their one-star reviews are deserved LOLOL. read more

I visited on a weekday around noon. It's located on a side street and there seemed to be plenty of street parking, although I had parked a couple blocks away and just happened to stumble upon this place while walking around. The interior is small but architecturally cool, with a tennis theme. There is a tiny patio in the back with a couple of tables and a lattice that provides some shade. I ordered a hot vanilla latte and a Nutella croissant from their pastry case. As is often the case at small coffee shops, there were no available seats at tables as all were taken by remote workers/students with their laptops. They have a narrow counter that was empty, so I ordered "for here" as I really wanted to relax and enjoy the coffee. I sat at the tiled counter and appreciated that my pastry was served on a ceramic plate and latte in a mug. The pastry was fresh with a flaky-crisp exterior and a bountiful amount of Nutella stuffed inside. The vanilla latte was served at immediate drinking temperature and the quality of espresso was excellent with a delectable vanilla under-flavor. Although this is "Happy" Coffee Club, the employees seemed emotionless and filled with ennui. Not welcoming or friendly at all. Once finished, I didn't see a place to return my plate & mug so decided to be nice and bring them to the counter. I was chastised and told that there is a tub on a shelf above the water station for dirty dishware. They also serve beer and wine here, which is probably what one needs to truly be in the Happy Club. read more

Stopped to grab a couple of drinks while we were on our way to see some family. Parking was difficult even on a weekday but we found a spot on the street. Really neat interior and kind staff. I ordered a flat white and a strawberry matcha with oat milk. Both were good and we'd like to come back to try other drinks and their pastries. read more

My wife and I came here for a business meeting down in San Clemente and the area itself is beautiful, so it was a great setting overall. We stopped into Happy Coffee Club and I ordered a Vanilla Latte with Vanilla Cold Foam while my wife got a Vanilla Matcha with Cold Foam. The Vanilla Latte was good, but a little too sweet and a bit too milky for me. The Cold Foam honestly was not needed, especially since there was already a cream base at the bottom that I was not expecting, so it just made the whole drink feel a little overdone. Still enjoyable, just not something I would rush back for. The Matcha unfortunately missed pretty hard. It was very watery and lacked that creamy, slightly bitter, smooth matcha flavor you would expect. It just felt watered down and did not hit at all. That being said, the service was very sweet. Everyone there was super patient and helpful while we were figuring out what to order. The space itself is also really cool with a nice outdoor patio and a small, quaint interior that would be great for studying or getting some work done. Overall, cool spot and great vibe, but the drinks were nothing too special. I would come back for the atmosphere, just probably not for the Matcha. read more

Having been here twice, I will say the coffee is average and pricey for what you're getting. I paid $14 for two small lattes that my partner and I finished in like three sips. The vibes at this establishment are off and the girls were awkward. I was following their coffee account on instagram and they made a post today responding to their one star reviews... The customer forgot their croissant and went back another day I'm sure hoping you'd resolve their issue by being understanding and possibly giving them a replacement but to say "that's now how croissants work" on a post comes off unprofessional and like you lack hospitality toward your clientele. That was an ick. One more thing! if you care about where you spend your money in terms of politics, the owners are MAGA. I wish I had known before hand so I could've stayed away. Parking here sucks too. read more

Happened on this cute coffee shop about a mile away from the beach. Cute and cozy interior, DJ playing in the small back patio area. We were welcomed by a sweet and smiling staff member. We ordered the Banana Matcha, Banana Latte, Americano and a Lemon Vanilla Latte. Very smooth and bright flavors for all drinks. Lemon Loaf Slice was moist and delicious. read more

While the store is cute I was genuinely shocked when I ordered my coffee. The board said that a flavored latte was something like $6.50 or $7. When I asked about what flavors were available, I was directed to a little sign on the counter. I picked a flavor and the coffee rang up at $10! I was in such shock looking at the number. I didn't know what to do so I just paid for it, but it certainly did not taste or feel like a $10 latte. The flavor I picked apparently came with a cold foam and a topping, but that information was not provided with the flavor. It was really disappointing and misleading. I haven't been back since. read more

Super cute place with great coffee! They have almond milk as well unlike Kuli which went downhill with their coffee! Lots of seating inside and outside cute little patio in the back. New favorite place in San Clemente! A must stop for coffee! Highly recommended! read more

What a cute coffee shop, offering a variety of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating options -- conducive for hanging out! I don't usually order milk-y coffee drinks; I prefer more of a straight coffee or Americano; however, decided to change it up this visit. My Flat White (with oat milk) was delightfully balanced with a velvety layer -- not too rich -- a luxurious afternoon treat! Service was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I was informed that their attractive pastries come from a variety of bakeries. Fabulous find... and they're open until 8:30 P.M. daily! read more

I drove by Happy Coffee Club earlier this week and was interested in stopping in just because the building is so cute! The big windows and funky artwork totally draw you in, and once you're inside the staff is so kind and friendly. I ordered a 16oz iced latte and added sugar free vanilla and sugar free raspberry syrups. I'm diabetic and always really appreciate when sugar free syrup is an option, and these ones tasted great! Next time I'm in town I'll probably come here to work for a couple hours. Parking is tricky, but to be expected as it's in old town San Clemente. read more

Happy Coffee Club is a newer coffee shop near the Downtown area of San Clemente. This is an aesthetic coffee shop, lots of green and tennis decor. They had great seating inside and on a patio, perfect for coworking. Happy Coffee Club has way more than coffee! They had many signature drinks and even alcohol. The baristas there were very nice. We tried a maple latte and lavender/vanilla matcha, both were pretty good, we enjoyed the matcha more than the coffee. The food and pastries there looked so yummy, I will need to try next time. read more

Cute and clean coffee shop just a few blocks up from the beach. We got our iced coffees and enjoyed the modern and quaint coffee shop for a bit before heading down to the beach to enjoy some sun. The shop also has some quality shirts/sweatshirts as well! The customer service was great and everyone was friendly, greeting us when we walked in and a friendly goodbye as we left. Coffee wasn't too sweet like other places, it was quite nice! Will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

I was so excited to try this place. I follow the baker who makes the bagels for this place. It is so beautiful inside this coffee shop. There's no parking so beware you will have to park far. The lady taking my order was not friendly. Kinda throws off the whole Vibe of this place. They all look miserable, talked at a low voice. Looked annoyed when she had to repeat herself. My matcha was okay ...save yourself the trip. read more

Finally tried the Hailey Bieber smoothie and I'm OBSESSED!!! It's so refreshing and not too sweet! I absolutely love it. I also tried the apple chai scone, brb running back for more. It's one of the best scones I've ever had so whoever you're using for a vendor, plz keep using them! Also, heard about their walking/networking event Friday mornings. Hope to check that out soon! Best coffee shop ever! read more

Came here because it's new and we want to support local of course! My husband's coffee came out very quickly but my smoothie took what felt like forever and it seemed like the people in the back didn't have much urgency but the owner noticed and gave us a free cookie. I'm sure it's overwhelming with a new business and managing everyone to your standard which is why I want to give grace! Give this place a try it's very cute inside and to me, is exactly what I imagine when I think of a beach town coffee shop! read more

Went on a Friday morning and it was a little busy, but the girl at the front was nice. Super cute, aesthetic coffee shop. I ordered an iced maple latte and the Bailey Bieber smoothie and honestly neither was worth the price. The smoothie was so small and $15 and pretty mediocre, something I could easily make at home. The coffee was $9 and tasted watered down. You're definitely paying for the aesthetic more than the quality. It's cute, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for good coffee. read more

Very cute coffee shop. The interior is very warm and inviting. Lots of seating available. Back patio is cute and kid friendly with lots of toys. Not a ton of parking available around the area. The service was very friendly and the coffee was on par with some of the other shops in town. The pastries were good, but VERY pricey. The chocolate chip cookie was $4- for the price, I would have liked to have had something bigger, but I promised my 2 daughters that they could pick any pastry. I will most likely be back. read more

Came in for the Lucky Latte I saw on instagram. First time here and the service was lowkey kinda bad. They were all in the back and didn't come out to help until the people behind me walked in. They were rude. Anyways got my lucky latte with oat milk and the total was $10.51... without tip. The latte itself wasn't anything special tasted like fruity pebbles with marshmallows on it read more

This café was a pleasant surprise stop after our camping trip, and it did not disappoint at all. The vibes were great--very cozy, warm, and welcoming. The staff were friendly and added to the relaxed atmosphere. We ordered a cappuccino and an iced sugar-free vanilla latte, both of which were well made, and the latte art was super cute. Another big plus is that this café is clearly a dog-friendly spot, which made the visit even better. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in the area! read more

Hey! I am rarely ever leaving negative reviews. Today we drove from HB and brought our whole family (which is 8) to chekx out the signature drink "fridge cigarette". We asked if we can get some of those drinks and they responded " sorry we ran out of Diet Coke and mostly everything else today, our owner had. A birthday party here last night and didn't restock anything." So then i said bummer and explained we drove down from HB to check it out. She responded your not missing out. The drink ISNT GOOD AT ALL!! If this was my employee i would've died . So we try and place orders for other drinks. They're out of cold brew... strike 2. Then we asked if tha was their last cinnamon roll, she responded yes and then all of a sudden another employee "wearing a buckees shirt" grabs the cinnamon roll and puts it in the back room. Caught us off guard so we couldn't buy that either. So we settled for a couple drinks and some other pastries and they were super dry and hard. Hope they get their act together. read more

They close 6:30pm on Sundays. I purposefully looked for a place open late on Sundays so it was disappointing to find the hours changed.

Super cute place, good location! Bummer part is that the Matcha was about $10, with foam and the foam tasted like whipped cream more than vanilla cold foam. That was a medium so I'd be curious to seee the price for the large! The matcha was sadly watery, and felt ripped off. 3 matcha's was $30!! I think this place would be awesome if price was adjusted so we don't feel ripped off for being locals! read more

I got the iced banana latte made with homemade banana syrup and it was perfect. I went back for another and it was weird because I was waiting on my drink and the baristas were just standing there talking for a while before they started making my drink. service doesn't always seem the nicest but at least the drinks are good read more

Dear Yelp Community, This morning I randomly found this new coffee shop (one week old) when turning onto the street and noticing "coffee club" on the building exterior. I was so excited to find this venue...fresh interior design housed in a Spanish/historic California style small building with various amenities (television, patio, children's toys). Enjoy! Sincerely, Anna P.S. Really liked the generously-cut banana bread with hot coffee. read more
