Coffee- superb. Customer service- superior. But what I love most about this coffee shop is how plugged in they are to their community. They have a pin board inside where customers can buy coffee for other customers that come in- based on the little note they leave on the pin board. There's a cute little play kitchen inside for the littles to keep entertained. They are constantly engaged with the community and have lots of small events throughout the year that supports other small businesses and artists. They are a family owned business and they love their customers. They are always looking for ways they can give back. We love this coffee shop! read more

Wow the food is so good. Totally under-estimated how delicious it would be! I got a homemade poptart (it was heavenly) and the cottage cheese toast. It was perfect! And it's decorated so cute in there. I could hang all morning! read more

The beets hummus toast was delicious, Golden Sun milk and the Honey lavender latte were both great. Quite a bit small space but very close to the ocean if you want to walk there. Wonderful service through and through. We're definitely coming back. read more

I've lived in Dana Point for almost 8 1/2 years and somehow had never been here until last month. I'm always searching for a good Matcha spot and this one is by far the best one around. The cottage cheese avocado toast with the spicy honey and chili is the bomb. The staff have been so sweet, efficient, and kind. The atmosphere is adorable. 100/10 I'm so obsessed with this place will definitely be back consistently read more

I got a honey bee matcha and it was delicious! There was a blonde girl helping me at the front and she was super nice. The whole staff seem very friendly. The coffee shop itself is so cute and has trinkets you can buy as well. read more

So happy I tried this gem! Everyone who worked in there was the sweetest. I knew their coffee would likely be delicious but their panini's too?! The Italiano was to die for. You HAVE to try next time you're in the area!! read more

This place has a local feel and is still a very friendly vibe. We only stopped in for a coffee and then decided to share the breakfast burrito. It's difficult to find a really good breakfast burrito. So many places over cook the eggs, jam in too many potatoes, uses too much salt, sub par salsa etc etc. High Tide did none of those things. Their burrito was balanced and flavorful but not salty. The eggs were perfectly cooked and I enjoyed the well cooked spinach they add. I will be back to try more items read more

Glad we gave this spot a try. Was searching for avocado toast, and this place was near with high reviews. Really good food, including the breakfast burrito with spinach and potatoes that my husband ordered. We both also liked the flat white coffees. Cool vibe with a "pay it forward" wall and disco ball ceiling decor, reminds me a little bit of Joshua Tree small shops. read more

Parking here is very hard since the lot is very small, but we got lucky to find a spot. They have tables inside and outside to sit and work. I ordered the Valentine Latte from their February Seasonal Offerings. The Valentine Latte has raspberry sweetener and some spice. It was really good and not too sweet! Recommendation(s): - Valentine Latte Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Restroom available - Accept Apple Pay - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Parking lot is small, so may be hard to find a spot read more

Amazing spot for some Matcha! It has a very pretty look to everything, having some cute outdoor tables and the inside is nice as well with seating. Every month they have new specialty drinks on a seperate menu. I got one of the monthly items which was the Minty March Matcha and my girlfriend got the regular Matcha with 2 pumps of vanilla sweetner. Both of us enjoyed our drink but I especially loved mine. I'm not a matcha person by any means so it could be the fact I'm not experienced but the mint factor for the drink was seriously amazing. They added lucky charm marshmellows on top which was fun to try and grab. The people inside were very nice as well helping us out as first time customers. Definitely check this place out! read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while and it did not disappoint! We went for the seasonal drinks because we were feeling all the spooky vibes, and wow! I got the Witch's Brew... absolutely delicious and you could tell it was made with care. My husband got the pumpkin chai and literally finished it before we even left the parking lot. The whole place has such good energy... cozy and friendly. Everyone working there was super sweet, and they even have a little free library (which I'm obsessed with). There's cute merch and small shop finds too, so it's a fun place to hang out, not just grab a drink. Already planning our next visit. read more

They had great service and the coffee was unique and delicious. It was great orange flavor mixed with the delicious coffee

I love High Tide Coffee! One thing I was bummed about today was finding out that while the hours show until 3pm, the kitchen closes at 2pm. I went there really excited to get some avocado toast after a beach walk, and the kitchen had closed. I wish that was published somewhere. Other than that, this is a great local spot. In addition to their fabulous food and drinks, they also have some great grab and go items, as well as merch! read more

Love this spot! Super cute ambience with a fun little wall of candles and other merchandise for purchase. Both coffee and matcha are solid, also really like the protein chia puddings but haven't had a chance to try the other food yet. Service is always friendly and the people who work here are great. Does get busy sometimes. read more

High Tide Coffee - Iced 16 oz Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Clemente, California

10/10 I witness the most amazing thing a person can do. I can in around 8 am when they were getting delivered coffee essentials when they offered the driver food and a drink when they weren't expecting anything in return. Just for that I will be coming back and the coffee was delicious!! read more

Y'all this is the cutest place to catch up with your friends or spend time reading because the interior is was takes the cake with this place. It's giving traditional surfer beach coffee house that you'll find throughout the coast in my opinion, but with the cute little touches that are less common. I got the iced oatmilk vanilla latte and the quality of espresso was definitely there, and the milk was Ghost Oats, which I know is a brand that prides itself on good ingredients. If you in the area, then this is definitely high recommendation in comparison to some of the other coffee shops I've been to in SC. Folks are also really nice inside too. read more

Love the atmosphere and vibe of the establishment as well as the taste and quality of the coffee. Friendly customer service and cute shop!

The best everything! Love the matcha and specials they do Lattes fire! Breakfast burritos fire!! And the nicest employees. This is a sc gem!!! read more

This is an absolutely charming and delightful coffeehouse. There are a million coffeehouses in the world and many of them are great. But far too many are very modern and, frankly, uncomfortable places. This spot is inviting and comfortable. There is seating inside and out and the seating is both funky and old-timey, as contradictory as that sounds. The coffee is very good. They've got fancy drinks that are very good and basic stuff that's good, too. They also have pastries, paninis, fancy toasts, burritos, and other food. The menu is extensive. They've got their own parking lot, too, so big points there. Highly recommended. read more

This was the best latte I think I've ever had! I had a 16 ounce iced Staycation Latte! It is a seasonal drink with espresso, coconut syrup, whole milk, coconut cream cold foam. It was perfection!! I might just go back in the morning for another! The inside of the coffee shop was super cute! There is a ton of seating- some inside, most outside. Just a nice quick walk to the beach too. read more

This coffee spot was directly across the street from the motel we stayed in during our annual trip to visit family in San Clemente. Atmosphere is very beach-chic, and the staff are great. Shout out to Bella who helped us and kept us laughing. The drinks were super well-balanced and flavorful. We appreciate a coffee drink where the sweet flavoring does not overpower, allowing the bitterness of the espresso to poke through. We did not dine in, but the room was very comfortable while we waited. We enjoyed High Tide Coffee so much it became our daily morning stop. Will definitely repeat on our next visit to this charming town! read more

Fun atmosphere here. I loved my drink and even grabbed some books while I waited. Awesome.!

We were in the area and wanted to support a mom & pop coffee shop. I ordered the Snickerdoodle Latte and Maple donut . The coffee was good and enjoyable. The maple donut was a tad on the stale side. This place was pretty busy with locals inside and outside. It's also pretty close to the beach. Overall, I had a good experience. read more

Very disappointed in this local coffee shop. Came in at 7:15 a.m. for a coffee and morning pastries. While the coffee is great the pastries were from the day before. Some sick person with a mask was packing up my day old pastries. I've never seen a coffee shop sell pastries that are a day old for full price at 7:15 a.m. No thanks! Nothing like serving Christmas house guests day old pastries to make a good impression on your cute town they travelled to visit! Told them to keep the pastries and walked out. So many other better small local business options for coffee in San Clemente! Pass on this place! read more

Dog and people friendly. I recommend the banana chocolate chip loaf. The iced matcha is ceremonial grade! lol

Great coffee spot! I got their chagacino and it was delicious. They tend to go a little heavy on the sweetener so half sweet is the way to go. People are polite. Vibe is good with seating inside and outside. Not a great place for large groups but you can make it work. Parking lot attached but there's also street parking. read more

Best matcha around!! Service is amazing and so friendly. Nice little spot to relax and enjoy your favorite drink.

Total beach vibe. Best coffee in San Clemente-coffee, service and tasty breakfast snacks. I will be back.

Starting to go here a lot coffee is great menu has lots of good choices. Low key vibe super chill check it out. Service is great as well really nice people happy to be at there job! read more

Great spot! I love when a place has unique lattes to differentiate their store! A must try is the ORANGE BLOSSOM MOCHA. It embodies warmth and comfort in a cup! I am not even the biggest fan of orange and I love normal mochas. However the balance of Orange with the other flavors in the coffee enhance the experience to be something well balanced, original, and unique. It almost reminds me of a famous Armenian dessert call Mamounia (cream of wheat with butter sugar cinnamon and maybe a splash of cardamon). How can you go wrong with a combination like that? Also the staff is very friendly. The environment is cute and cozy, with WIFI, so it's a great place to study and drown your sorrows in lots of good drinks. The only thing is that I wish they had soymilk, but I am probably the minority as I love the creaminess and the high protein content. Shaka brahhhh! I will be back. read more

I love their raspberry matcha, but prices are a bit steep but lowkey worth it because I was tweaking off the matcha for the longest time

It's safe to say...I LOVE High Tide Coffee. I was going every morning to another coffee shop in Dana Point, which I was probably their first customer of the day each day. They never gave a warm greeting, which was fine, but they also never remembered my drink which is simply a black iced americano lol. I'd say that High Tide is always SO welcoming and warm. All of their staff is so nice and happy. It makes you feel good visiting their location. I love good service and I haven't had a single bad experience here. Their craft drinks are very good, I had the thin mints cold brew (drink of the month in March?) and it was AMAZING. I don't steer too far out from my normal black iced americano but decided to try it, glad I did. Anyhow, love this spot and great location. Great ambiance and feel inside as well! read more

STELLAR coffee shop. I passed through with my family on our way to San Diego and I found this place on yelp and so thankful I did! I'm a huge believer that coffee shops need to have a curated vibe from the exterior look, interior decor, and music. This place hit all the marks. I loved the deocr, the furniture, the playlist, the gift items that were for sale, all of it. I got an iced snickerdoodle latte with oatmilk. For those who like their lattes on the sweeter side without going too overboard, i recommend this. For food, I got the Spicy Lox avocado toast and MAN WAS IT FIRE!!!! The perfect combo of ingredients. My family got an acai bowl, almond croissant, and pesto capresse and all were 10/10s! Service was amazing as well. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more
