    Cinnamon roll, chai, volcano
    Laleen K.

    We ordered the cinnamon roll, chai, and volcano latte! This place is super cute at the end of the street and the staff was very sweet they gave me drink recommendations. Parking is a bit difficult, street parking or pay to park across the street!

    Laguna Beach, Ca. It's all about the coffee here, however there are a few pastries, croissants, etc. to go with your coffee. We are latte fans and so far have only tried that beverage here. They had great flavor, but for a latte. I would like a minimum of 12 ounces. The latte Art is exceptional, not often seen with such fine linage. I liked the drink better in the ceramic cup rather that the paper cup, it retained the heat much better. I really want to try whatever is brewed with the machine with the handle pull, so I'll be back for that. The staff is pretty friendly and they definitely take care of business. Wait times are not too long.

    Lavender iced latte

    As a long time Laguna local, we were missing something "LA chic" for coffee. I can attest that PLAY has the coffee and pastries of your dreams. I have the cardamon bun and lavender latte and it's fabulous!

    this might be my new favorite coffee shop! I love the aesthetic and that they have indoor and outdoor seating. the strawberry matcha is so unique because they use these dried strawberry chips from france and melt them down with milk and brown sugar for that delicious flavor. the staff are SUPER friendly and they also have pastries!

    Super cute cafe that's perfect for studying, they have outlets everywhere. I love that the space feels so open and welcoming. We tried their most popular latte and matcha: Volcano Latte & Strawberry Matcha. The drinks surprised us, it was very light and had good aromas to it. The staff are super friendly and prepared the drinks so quick. There's paid street parking or a lot nearby. ig: @cravingswithcat

    this spot is located on the corner of Forest Ave & Laguna Canyon. Theres a parking lot across the street or you can find street parking nearby! service was great, everyone was nice, friendly and very knowledgeable. They explained to us the proper way to drink espresso/pourover! they have a roomy interior with plugs so you can study/work & their outside seating is covered (we went on a rainy day). Definitely recommend this place, very high quality stuff. Our favorites were the Pepe Espresso & Volcano Latte w/ the pink donut & cardamom bun

    Amazing pastries with amazing specialty coffees and a cool hand pulled espresso machine

    orange maple shakerato, hot chocolate, matcha latte
    Rachel N.

    Was excited to try a new coffee shop that just opened near main beach and Play did not disappoint! I was very impressed by their latte art, mug sizes, and drink quality-- they use ceremonial grade matcha and their baristas are very detail-oriented when it comes to modifications to sweetness level, ice, etc. The patio area does get a bit loud since it's next to a busy part of the 133, but there is ample seating for dine-in and Play is conveniently located right across the street from the Laguna farmers market and the center of town. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their drinks!

    Iced maple Matcha latte, sweet latte, financier almond cake, pistachio pastry
    Deanne S.

    I love that this place has open air seating! It's a modern cafe with unique menu flavors from around the world. We ordered the iced maple matcha latte and hot sweet latte for our drinks. Drinks were 8/10. I wish they offered a cream top for my matcha. We also got a pistachio cream filled pastry and a financier cake. I appreciate that they have different flavors of baked goods. Both of the pastries we got were 10/10!! We immediately got our pastries and we didn't wait long for our drinks to be made. There were 2 people working and they made our drinks pretty quickly. Overall, I give this cafe a 9/10.

    Left to right: strawberry matcha, vanilla latte, chai latte

    As someone who is very into cafe culture, the atmosphere of this place is top tier. There's tons of indoor and outdoor seating, the music is quiet, and the interior is gorgeous. It's also walking distance to main beach and downtown Laguna. I highly recommend the Strawberry Matcha and Vanilla Latte! Both were perfectly sweetened and well balanced.

    Excellent flat white coffee! Great location as well. First time here. This coffee shop should do well.

    maple matcha, shaken maple latte
    Erin H.

    The iced maple matcha was good and had a tiny hint of maple, but the shaken maple latte tasted just like a regular latte. I like the ambiance of the place and service was fast since it's a new spot. It's a bit of a walk from the downtown area but is close to the parking lot 11.

    Matcha oatmilk latte with maple syrup

    I was excited to try this new matcha spot in south OC. Definitely was refreshing after the beach. The inside and outside has a clean aesthetic and the workers were nice. I got an iced matcha latte and I think it was about 7/10 generally for this area it's solid.

It beach close and located on PCH within walking distance of the Laguna Art Museum. I had the cronut covered in ganache and the specialty rose strawberry chocolate latte. Both delicious.

Staff is so nice. You really feel like you are part of a community even if it is your first time there. When we were there at 2pm it was not busy, I was surprised by 3:30 it was packed and there was a line. Would go again and get an iced latte or maybe a pour over.

The shop has a very homey, family-friendly feel and the decor/aesthetic was really cute. The staff looked busy and overwhelmed but they did well. The location is also a huge plus since it's right across from the beach. Unfortunately, the matcha was a miss for me since it lacked flavor. I had read similar reviews before but still wanted to give it a try myself. I'd still be open to trying their coffee next time, though it seems more suited for people who enjoy lighter coffee or matcha flavors. If you prefer rich and bold flavors, this spot might not hit the mark for you. Hopefully they'll look into using a higher quality matcha in the future because the shop itself has a lot of potential and such a nice vibe.

    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.

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!
