We're always looking for kid-friendly places where we can take our toddler and this was the perfect spot. They have this great play area with toys, drawing tools and an arcade machine. The coffee was also delicious and the breakfast sandwich was insanely good. Turon latte half sweet : light banana flavor without being over powering White Mocha Pandan : incredibly unique. Would order again Service is super friendly and decently fast. Can't wait to come back read more

It is a cute place for sure with the decor but I am not a fan of places that do not post their prices so you don't know how much the coffees cost? Imagine if you went to a restaurant and the waiter gives you a menu with no prices next to the dishes.... Would you still eat there? Would you go back? I asked the question of why they don't post their prices for coffee apparently this was offensive as it got taken down?!! Someone reported that. I'm genuinely wondering what the reason behind that is? read more

We randomly walked into this coffee shop, and the name sounded familiar. When we greeted the baristas and asked about the place, I was excited to learn it's a Filipino-owned coffee shop! It's wonderful to experience nostalgic flavors like calamansi and ube. Although they don't make the pastries in-house, they source them locally, so it's a great way to support small businesses. We tried the "Tito Palmer," and it was sooo good! It was a bit too sour for my partner, so I took a sip and asked if they could add a bit more tea. Overall, a cozy spot with delicious drinks and a meaningful vibe definitely worth a visit! Thanks Roman and Cody for the kind hospitality! read more

The coffee was excellent and, best of all, not overly sweet--exactly how I like it. The space is spacious and inviting, with clean restrooms, plenty of seating, and thoughtful touches that make you want to stay awhile. When we visited, the World Cup was being projected, creating a fun atmosphere, and there were coloring supplies available for kids, making it especially family-friendly. Service was quick and efficient, though it wasn't very busy on the Saturday morning we visited. They also have some really cute merch for sale. Overall, a great spot for coffee, relaxing, or catching up with friends. Highly recommend! read more

While I do like their service in terms of walking though the options and their location, I didn't actually like the coffee that much hence 3.5/5. I tried their cold foam flight. To be fair, the foam was dairy alternative and i asked them for everything to be light on sugar. The flight comes with 4 diff base cold brews, 4 flavors of cold foam. The sesame one has no sugar so they recommend adding vanilla or some syrup. They don't have stevia or SGfree on hand. I saw a lot of people get their banana matcha which they described as pseudo boba because of the actual fruit in the drink. But to be fair, it's called kape. I expected their coffee to be the star and it didn't feel that way. Also it's on the beach so parking will be a block away and there's a little uphill walk to be aware of read more

Kape Roasters - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Cute little coffee shop tucked in the corner of The Grove in Laguna Niguel. The shop is right next to Patsy's Irish Pub off of Crown Valley and Golden Lantern. The staff is friendly. Our first time there, my husband asked the barista if she could make he a Peanut Butter Latte with cold foam. I opted for a Cold Brew with Choc Nut syrup and vanilla cold foam. Both drinks were delicious. The best part this coffee shop is 5 minutes from my house. Ambiance 5/5 Service 5/5 Drinks 5/5 read more

Delicious coffee, friendly employees and a fun kid space to create and play! All of this will make you want to come back for more! Kape Roaster is located in a small shopping center near a thrift store and an Irish pub! The parking lot has plenty of space and room for strollers. My drink was made quickly and brought to me while my daughter played in the kid area. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was delicious! It's definitely a place to visit if you're looking for a space where kids can be kids, so you can caffeinate while they play. read more

Peeps didn't smile, asked for half and half and apparently, only the workers can add it for you. You just have to guess how much or little you get? The coffee is just ok. There is a place that is just 40 away that I found to be much more welcoming with better coffee and a really nice pastry selection. read more

I found this hidden coffee spot in Laguna Niguel on a Sunday afternoon and I am glad I did. It is a very spacious coffee spot in a business center with plenty of parking. There is seating available and I saw a few people working on their laptops. My sister and I got the Choc Nut Latte. It was sweet and tasty. We also got a chocolate filled croissant. They had other yummy pastries and merchandise available for purchase. I will try this place again whenever I am in the area. read more

Saw this spot on Yelp after completing a hike in the area. We were intrigued by the seasonal menu and the pictures of the drinks with the delicious cream tops! We were surprised to learn that the seasonal drinks were such a hit that they decided to add it to the regular menu! Off their recommendation, I ordered the turon latte and it was super delicious!! I love a latte with banana and I loved the filipino twist. The coffee was super smooth and creamy and the foam on top made it even better. This cafe has a large space for all your working at cafe needs! They also had a space in the back for kiddos, and events for families and the community!! Service was super friendly, the baristas were all attentive and knowledgeable in their menu. Definitely wish I was closer to this spot because I want to try their upcoming winter/spring menu (hopefully they keep the matcha guava or passion fruit foam ) Will definitely be back to this cafe when I'm in this area!! read more

I loved my Ube Coconut Milk! I had some girl time at Kape! I love how the owner is building community ambiance for moms, musicians, and education all built around COFFEE, food, and play!

I am so happy to find this little gem of a coffee shop. The service was incredibly friendly. The coffee delicious. The avocado smash on ube toast rewired my brain! Also anything served with pickled veggies is getting my vote of approval. Also ordered the almond croissant and chocolate croissant for a foodie friend and she loved both. Spacious inside and there is a play area in the back for families with littles. read more

This new spot is such a win! I ordered the Ube Latte and was very impressed. Such a gorgeous looking drink with that pretty purple color from the Ube Cold Foam, and the flavor of the espresso was spot on. The service was super friendly and welcoming. I want to try some of the Filipino snacks next time that were tempting me in the window! 10/10 flavor. This might be my new fixation drink. read more

I was in the area and wanted to get an early start on work; this coffee shop is easy to miss in the little outdoor shopping mall with its miscellaneous shops. Walking in, the shop is super personable, from the kids play area in the back to its staff greeting you up front. I got to chat with the owner and get recommendations from the signature menu. While the choc nut and kape mocha sounded amazing, the I oped to try the Kape Latte. Made with some condensed milk for sweetness, the quality of the coffee isn't overpowered by it. The original coffee flavors combined with the great coffee quality make this a great option for those looking to visit with friends, work remote, or grab some quick fuel! Can't wait to come back and try the other coffee options. read more

I had no idea there's a lovely cafe like this in my neighborhood if it wasn't for Yelp! The exterior looks unassuming but the interior of the cafe is very very spacious! I was so blown away by the huge space inside. I placed the order online ahead of time but my drink wasn't ready when arriving. That's ok as I wanted it decaf but the option wasn't available when I initially placed the order. Parking is free and plentiful right in front of the cafe. My coffee tasted like chocolate milk with coffee notes! Super velvety and creamy. Not too sweet, just how I enjoy it. They have other unique flavored goodies I am looking forward to trying out next. They have peanut flavored mocha for example. And their matcha drinks sounded very unique and different. I don't know where they source the baked items but every items looked sumptuous. Looking forward to visiting again in the near future! read more

I really wanted to like this spot but was very disappointed by this spot each time I went. The plaza has plentiful parking which is nice. The space of the cafe itself is very open but they don't utilize it the best so there's not a ton of tables inside however I haven't seen this place that packed. They have fast wifi as well which is good for getting work done. For drinks, I have tried both the choc nut latte as well as the Kape matcha latte. The choc nut is essentially a PB mocha but the peanut butter flavor was absent for me and the coffee itself tasted watered down. The Kape matcha is a matcha latte with condensed milk but I didn't really taste the sweetness from the condensed milk and the matcha was very poor in quality and tasted like grass water. The ube ensaymada was probably the only thing that was decent that I would recommend. read more

Yum! I love Kape! It has become my go to spot for coffee, snacks, sandwiches, and pastries. It's very community and family oriented. I love how there are so many events that happy throughout the month, like yoga, children reading time, craft workshops, live music, etc. it's fun to check out their Instagram and see what's going on! The workers are SUPER friendly. The owner is the best and he gets to know you. Every time I visit I have a great chat and a nice time! Come check them out!!! read more

Kape Roasters is a hit and miss kind of place, including its food and signature coffee drinks. The Almusal Sammy, a Filipino breakfast sandwich with egg, sweet sausage (or longanisa in Filipino term), sharp (?) cheddar was tasty but was a teeny tiny bit and was like a version of a Macdo egg sausage sandwich. It's all prepared and heated in the microwave! A typical Filipino breakfast is hearty. I had a Turon Latte, another missed one, sadly. Turon is a typical banana or plantain rolled in a spring roll coated in brown sugar and caramelized. The latte's flavor was no closer to what it is supposed to be. It was very light. The coffee shop is very spacious, almost felt like an empty room. There's a kid's corner and a small merchandise section that occupy the space with few tables and chairs around. A wall adorns some photos of the Philippines. Overall, it's still a comfortable place to read the papers and enjoy a cuppa. read more

My wife is a Filipina and we had high hopes when going to this cafe because it is supposed to have Filipino drinks and food. It's a beautiful, spacious cafe. Only it's a little too spacious, with lots of empty space in the cafe. So instead of a cozy cafe, it's a really big one with tables far from each other. The menu board for drinks doesn't have any prices on it so I had to ask the price for the drinks that we were interested in, which is awkward and the woman behind the counter seemed a little impatient with my asking her the prices. Later on, I asked one of the staff why there were no prices next to the drinks and she said that was the way the owner wanted it. I ordered a 12 oz. Americano coffee, my wife a Turon Latte and we shared an Almusal Sammy, a Filipino breakfast sandwich with egg, sweet sausage, and sharp cheddar. While my coffee was good, my wife said her Turon Latte didn't taste like turon at all, more like a watered-down mocha. The Almusal Sammy was a serious disappointment. It was a small, flavorless egg McMuffin-type sandwich (only an egg McMuffin is a lot better) that had only was partially microwaved. It was served lukewarm in a small box, even though we were dining in. My wife and I visited the Philippines last year and this sandwich definitely wouldn't have passed muster there. read more

Kape Roasters *November 11, 2025 *10am- Tuesday *4 Stars Environment: *Moderate Parking Lot *Quick Service *Spacious Area Food/Drink: *Iced Matcha Latte (25% Agave + Almond Milk) *Iced Americano This café just opened less than a month ago, and I'm glad I decided to stop by. It's clearly designed with families in mind, with a large play area for kids that includes a children's table and games. There are about three to four small tables along the wall and one larger table near the entrance, offering a cozy setup. The staff was very friendly and answered a lot of our questions, which made for a great first visit. Our order came out quickly, and the drinks were beautifully made. The matcha was hand-whisked with a decent color, but I wish it had been poured over the milk rather than stirred directly. I felt like it slightly changed the taste and I wasn't able to taste the matcha just by itself first before mixing it with the milk. The iced Americano was strong and smooth. Overall, a pleasant spot with quick service and a welcoming atmosphere. read more

I love becoming regulars at coffee shops, and it was very easy to do so here at Kape Roasters. The staff are familiar and amiable, and remembered my go to order after only four days of showing up. Their cappuccinos are consistently smooth and amazing, with a great selection of flavored syrups for customization. John, the owner, has been super kind and welcoming. Shoutouts to Cody, Megan, and Kenzie for always getting it right! They play great music and I've been able to keep up on World Cup games here. I'll miss coming here regularly. Please try all of their special menu items! read more

Stopped by and had a really nice experience overall. The staff was super friendly, and there's a big parking lot, which made it really easy to stop by. The space inside is huge with plenty of seating. Their menu has a lot of Filipino-inspired drinks that looked really yummy, and I honestly wanted to try several of them. I ended up ordering the Iced Matcha Latte ($7.49). It was very smooth and not bad at all, though I do wish the matcha flavor were a little stronger. I do, however, appreciate that it comes unsweetened. Still a good drink and a nice spot. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area to try some of their other drinks. read more

We are overjoyed knowing that we have a Filipino coffee/bakery shop in south OC. Just opened on 10/4/25 and they have something for everyone including your little ones. So picture yourself coming here on the weekends with your family and friends, spacious setting, gorgeous lighting hitting through the windows as you sip on your ube or choc nut latte, pair that with a cookie crumble ensaymada or almusal depending if you have a savory or sweet palate. They even have vegan baked goods like the blueberry oat bran muffin that's next on my list to try. This exact spot is what we have been needing in this area, a shop that will immerse us in a little Filipino culture. The service is immeasurable as everyone has a smile on their face and working hard to serve me, you, everyone who walks through those doors. So do yourself a favor, don't just drive by this place. Pull up, park, grab a bite or a sip and don't make me tell you I told you so when you leave this spot singing LeAnne Rimes "how do I live without youuuuu" lyrics because I promise... you WILL be back. I'm working my way down the menu..matcha latte you're next! read more

First of all, let's talk about the elephant in the room..... my love for coffee. I have traveled across the lower 48 in a 2005 dodge Dakota, with nothing but the clothes on my back and a sleeping bag on a wood board. In those early mornings, perhaps along an unnamed body of water- a mile or two away from the interstate- I would yearn for a coffee that could shake the ennui off my bones and wipe clean the residue of the late-stage American landscape left deep in the crevices of my soul- similar to the crumbs left between the seats of my Dakota. Kape Roasters, has this coffee that I yearned for on the shores of those unnamed bodies of water just beyond reach of the howling interstate. My first sip, I thought of that 20 year old young man who had nothing but a lukewarm, glass bottle of Starbucks coffee I bought from a gas-station the night prior. Kape Roasters has this coffee... I can feel the espresso light up my tastebuds like a million lighters in a stadium. The caffeine flows through my brain and makes me feel like Bradley Cooper in that one movie where he unlocks 100% of his brain capacity. I also got the ham and cheese croissant and my beautiful girlfriend got a chocolate chip muffin. Both were absolutely delicious, we were like ravenous dinosaurs, bees to honey, a kid in a candy shop... if you will. The ambiance was fantastic too, I drank my coffee and there was a really nice blue couch there. Loved it! read more

Food: I ordered for a 12oz cappuccino. I got this, see photo, it's only 3/4 filled 12oz cup. When I asked the girl at the counter, she said "it's cappuccino" with a tone that it's not for discussion. Service: I was the only person waiting to be served, after a while I had to walk to the counter to ask for my drink, the girl found it sitting on their counter. The person who made this drink walked away. Ambiance: Looks welcoming to the whole family with things to do for small kids, only reason for 2 stars. I wanted to support local business owners and tried this place for the first time. I'm disappointed in this particular visit. Hoping this business improve their food and service. read more

Really good coffee and super friendly staff!! The shop has a big open space for kiddos with lots of toys as well as a couple tables and a big communal table. Can get really busy with the mommy and me classes that are hosted on certain days. From my experience, the wait can get pretty long so keep that in mind. You can order online from the website to circumvent the line, but the drink I always get (Turon latte) wasn't on the list when I tried to order online so I wasn't able to do that. Will definitely come back, but on days where I have time to potentially wait 20+ mins. I've come before work and been served within 5 mins, but there's also been times where it took almost 30 mins, so wait time when ordering in person just depends on how busy they are. read more

There are coloring books with dozens of colored pencils, toy figures, Legos, blocks and books. The place is spacious yet has a cozy, quiet feel to it, even when filled with kids. Only one drawback to this kid focused place is that the restroom does not have a changing table. Even if you don't have kids, come for the drinks! read more
