    What a fun little coffee stop! By entering through Fairview Street, one lane is for app-placed orders; the other, one can park among the limited spaces to place one's order at the walk-up window. The staff member assisting us that afternoon was appreciatively helpful, patient and professional. This location is convenient to taking one's beverages, to enjoy at the beach!

    Stopped by here for some coffee after a hike, and it was cute! I don't think it's anything special, but it is good. I got an iced Hulk, which is a matcha latte with cascara  and koatja milk. It's just a pretty standard matcha latte, not bad, not great.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place, but it is one of the only matcha places I could find in the Laguna Beach area. It also has a drive thru so it is very convenient.

    Always a delicious time at Moon goat. This small walk up and drive up coffee and pastry shop is one of my favorites in Laguna. Service is always super friendly and nice and very helpful. I was gonna try something off the holiday menu since it was still present however I went with my old standby the iced churro latte. Well balanced, sweet, delicious. I've never had any pastries or other drink drinks here, but I should probably try something else. Sort of parking but not really. Just a cool vibe with some coffee beans and retail items available as well.

    The matcha blueberry lavender with oat milk was delicious. The flavors were unique but really well balanced -- the blueberry and lavender added a subtle sweetness that paired perfectly with the matcha. I'd definitely order it again.

    The drive through was kinda tricky! I don't remember if there's even inside seating. Service was great! The ladies there were sweet. The matcha wasn't my favorite. Tasted a little watered down. Their coffee might be better!

    Great little coffee spot in Laguna Beach! We had good service & our lattes were good. They have these cool little seating areas up front & they are working on a covered shaded structure in back. We'll definitely be back when in Laguna

    Friendly service, small menu. Matcha latte was good. I had it slightly sweetened with vanilla. Seems to be only one size drinks which is on the smaller side. A little pricey for the size you get but it was within walking distance from Crescent Bay.

    So convenient that MoonGoat has a drive thru / walk up location right on PCH! I'm a huge fan of their churro latte so I love that I can grab it before a morning walk along the beach or drive in to pick up my mobile order before making my way up coast hwy. Service is always super quick and friendly and they even have some merch available. Love their banana bread and pastries

    They used to serve awesome lattes! Not anymore....

    If you have this place "bookmarked" please do yourself a favor and "UN-bookmark it".......... Now, if you have time to know why, you can continue reading this review. The main Moongoat location in Costa Mesa is awesome and serves delicious coffees. So when I saw that they have a drive-thru in Laguna, I was sooo excited to give it a try! Upon turning into the place, right off the bat, I saw that they have a line for "mobile" pick up that is basically goes against the regular traffic. Considering that this place is super small, the mobile lane makes it soooo hard to maneuver especially if you are driving a 4 wheel drive! I just don't understand, the whole point of the drive-thru is getting your drinks in-n-out, so not sure why there is a seperate "mobile" lane?!!!! Besides the headache of getting to the ordering window,, my iced vanilla latte was sooo watery and bland that it was just awful... I always order my drinks half sweet, but this honestly just tasted like milk mixed with ice, there was no coffee flavor whatsoever. This place was truly a diappointment. I totally can see it not surviving, unless they make some huge changes to their ordering setup and the quality of their drinks!!!!

    I can see why this place is popular, though I can't say I'll be back in a hurry. The most important part of a coffee shop is the coffee, obviously. And this coffee is fine. It's not bad, which can't be said for some other cafes in Laguna, but it's not above average either in my opinion. Their ice is nice! The location is a little.. interesting. It's pretty isolated from other places you'd casually find yourself, basically low foot traffic. But that's not something that can be held against the business. You get what you can with Laguna so for what it is, I think it works well. It was cute! Just a little out of the way. Lastly, the staff were quick and friendly enough. Seemed a little overstaffed when I was there, but from what I've heard I'm sure this place can get fairly busy. No big complaints honestly. It's cute so I can see why it's popular and the coffee is better than Starbucks, but that's the bare minimum to me. If for some reason you find yourself in the area, I recommend stopping, but I don't think it's something you need to go out of your way to experience.

    Very cute little coffee shop on PCH, it's basically just a little drive-thru! The service was friendly and quick, especially considering there was only one person working it! The drinks weren't bad, but weren't anything special, the coffee and chai itself tasted good, but the drinks definitely relied on lots of syrup or sugar for the flavor. Not at all a bad spot, but I'd probably try another shop next time I'm in the area.

    Banana matcha with vanilla sea salt  cold foam

    The Banana Matcha was amazing, at just under $9. I swapped the banana cold foam for sea salt cold foam and loved it even more (though the banana foam is still good too). The iced Café Brü, however, was a big disappointment. It was extremely bitter, and no sweetener option was offered when ordered. When I asked if it could be made less bitter, the barista first gave me raw cane sugar packets (which don't dissolve in iced coffee). After I explained that, she went inside and came back with a small cup of brown sugar syrup instead of actually fixing or remaking the drink. Even with the syrup, the coffee stayed unbearably bitter, and we ended up throwing it away. This was around 7:30am 9/1/25. It was not busy at all. Overall: the Banana Matcha was amazing, but the Café Brü was far too bitter, and the service wasn't very accommodating in resolving the issue.

    Cold Brew with Cold Foam.

    Cute little drive thru in Laguna Beach on PCH. I've had the Irvine location in my bookmarks for a few months. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this location driving down PCH. I tried their Cold Brew with Cold Foam, yummy. My husband had an Iced Churro Latte. Another great coffee place to add to my rotation.

    After spending time at Aliso Beach Park, my mom and I walked about half a mile to Rapport Coffee…read moreRoasters so we could grab drinks and bring them back to the beach to enjoy by the water. Totally worth the walk. The shop is simple and minimalistic inside, with a clean layout and a plant right in the center that gives the space a calm, relaxed vibe. Nothing flashy, just thoughtfully designed and comfortable. I ordered the iced Spanish latte and my mom got the iced chai. Both had an excellent balance of sweetness and coffee or tea flavor. Smooth, refreshing, and perfect for sipping while sitting on the sand. The workers were friendly and easy to order from, which made the experience even better. One thing that stood out to us was their logo, two hands shaped like coming together. In sign language, that sign means "connect," so as Deaf individuals, we immediately noticed it and wondered about the meaning behind it. It made the name "Rapport" feel even more intentional. Great drinks, welcoming service, and a perfect stop before heading back to the beach. We'd definitely do that walk again.

    My taste buds were tickled from the smell of coffee from the parking lot!…read more It's across the street from the Montage (not a bad place to walk with your coffee, assuming you park legally and walk!), tucked in a strip mall with CVS and other random shops. Interior is minimalist and clean. Baristas were all very nice. The cold brew coffee was one of the best I've had -- smooth, but robust, with a complex taste. AND it was under $5, which is a steal! I read that they roast coffees on site and I wouldn't doubt it! Unfortunately, while bean coffee was $23 for 200g, which is 7oz! My local roaster (Kean) would have the same price for 12oz. In their defense, they did have a massive bag that was $25. They had a bunch of great latte options, an espresso tonic, and tea options. They have pastries that looked delicious too. A great coffee and highly worth a visit!

    Laguna Beach, CA…read more I've wanted to try this single origin coffee roaster for quite some time and we finally stopped in For a late afternoon pick me up and boy did it pick us up! We met Ahmed who usually doesn't work at this location who was an absolute gem. Ahmed is so knowledgeable about coffee sourcing and the information he shared was in such a delightful way. He welcomed us and let us know all about the coffee and showed us the most beautiful hospitality, we went with his recommendations and he did not steer us wrong.

These drinks were around $6 with regular whole milk which was a good price! The interior is clean and nice. I saw one outlet, but I'm unsure if they have wifi. For parking, there's spots in the nearby Pavilions parking lot or around it. Overall, a solid spot for coffee drinks in the area.

I'm usually bad at finishing my food, but I got through my whole plate! I don't eat pork, so I didn't try the burrito, but my friends described it as cheesy and filling.
