    Fresh floral arrangements
    Kaitlyn K.

    Favorite local coffee shop by the coast. They have specialty espressos and normal ones, and keep it simple with no extra foams or syrups. The baristas are super friendly and explain the menu very well. The ambiance is also very pretty and there are always beautiful flowers all around. The vibes are very conducive to chatting with others and the music is nice and soft!

    Great coffee, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere. Most of the customers are regulars, which really says a lot about the place. It feels more like a neighborhood community than just a coffee shop.

    My wife and I stop here every morning when we're visiting family in San Clemente, and it's become our ritual. The two gentleman staff are kind, authentic, and super knowledgeable; they've walked me through their espresso recipes without any pretension. Space inside is really cozy, they serve cortados in the perfect not neutral vero glasses, and the latte art is consistently on point. Best speciality cafe in the area.

    My go to for a latte. Baristas are always amazing. Good spot to relax and enjoy a pour-over too. Great clarity in their bean selection.

    Came in day after thanksgiving to get a pick me up before heading into work and the boyfriend got a matcha latte while I got the special latte. The matcha is definitely high quality grade matcha. The special latte has a slight note of fruitiness but kick of caffeine to wake me up. Definitely a small hole in the wall type coffee shop but worth the coffee. Staff or owner whoever the 2 gentleman were they were very sweet and nice.

    What a vibe in here! Love the earthy natural feel in here. Not much seating so it's more like a grab n go place unless you manage to grab a seat. FYI no decaf espresso available. Got a hot cinnamon (miel) latte and it was wonderful. Lightly sweet and smooth.

    Cortado . Outside seating.  (Espresso Based Drinks)

    Perfecto. Could only be better if I didn't get it to go (if I got it in a glass). Long line-but not a long wait. Outdoor seating acceptable.

    Interior decor

    I got a little gap between work so I decided to try out a new cafe and came across Rapport on Yelp. I saw a lot of good reviews raving their coffee, unfortunately I don't drink coffee so I can't comment on that. The matcha was mid, it wasn't bad but I was expecting more from them. The staff let me know they brew their matcha in big batches. The croffle was so good though! It was the only food item on the menu and it did not disappoint! If you have never had a croffle before please give it a try, it is essentially a croissant hot pressed into a waffle. The interior is very cozy and the staff are all super friendly. They took their time explaining the menu to me and had other conversations with other customers as well. Parking was easy inside a parking lot.

    Gotta get five stars for local roast, organic and environmentally conscious coffee shop. Service was awesome, I asked a lot of questions ;) Got a medium Americano with almond milk and honey, hit the spot! Indoor/outdoor seating albeit there are only a few places to sit, it's comfortable. Will be back here for sure.

    Found my coffee shop near my neighborhood! Been on the hunt for a while looking for a local roaster, vibe, customer service, and quality. BAM! Found it here at Rapport Coffee & Roasters. Driving into the parking lot and seeing the line of people waiting says it all.Won't disappoint. Can't wait to come back

    This place is DIALED! Everyone is always very friendly and takes their craft serious. It's been my favorite San Clemente coffee spot for a long time. The nicest owners and employees too. High reco

    Great neighborhood small coffee spot! During my short visit I could tell there's a good loyal customer base with many returning customers. I had a Spanish latte and it was delicious proving right all those loyal customers! The menu options are just right and they have a handful of seats inside as well as outside.

    This establishment is small inside a shopping plaza. Great friendly service. They have a la marzocco espresso machine. I didn't realize Trent sold breakfast. Someone ordered a breakfast burrito. Maybe next time I will try one. My cappuccino with oat milk was delicious. Perfect temperature and the coffee beans are nice and strong and rich just how I like it.

    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!

I found it to be very pleasant and relaxing. The order taker with dark brown hair was super friendly with helping me pick my first drink, and he showed me all the signature drinks. He asked for my name and then instructed me how to pick up my order, which is on the opposite side of the bar area near the barista. They should call your name. It's kinda loud overall so you'll have to pay attention and listen We got a traditional vanilla iced latte as well as the coconut cream cold brew. Both were delicious. They use pebble ice. I'm generally not a huge fan just because it waters the drinks down a lot quicker. But it was delicious nonetheless very thick coconut cream on top. I only wish that the iced drinks were a lot bigger. But that would probably throw off the milk to espresso ratio. Outside, there's plenty of seating both couches and patio chairs. Inside cool vibes. I heard there's Wi-Fi but I did not use it. Really funky cool bathrooms. Overall, we had a great experience. I would definitely come back. I think prices are in line with everything else in town. You can opt for your drink for here which comes in glass or to go. We wanted to go in case we decide to get up early and go walk around. Street parking although there's some municipal lots. Pet friendly as well.

I ordered a muffin and the hua kai which is their cold brew with house coconut foam. The muffin was good. Perfect for pairing with a cup of coffee, but unfortunately I really didn't like the hua kai. The cold brew tasted almost sour and attempting to mix in some of the coconut foam did not help me offset the taste. I hate to throw away anything edible (and expensive) but I really didn't like their cold brew and could not get myself to finish it.

It is on the smaller side with no indoor seating, but there are tables available outside which is nice if you're enjoying the weather. They had a selection of pastries that looked delicious, including pistachio croissants, danishes, and other pastries, although we didn't end up trying any of them. The drinks menu had a lot of unique options that all sounded great, which made it difficult to choose. Unfortunately, the service took away from the experience. We were the only customers ordering at the time, and since there were five of us trying to decide on our drinks, it naturally took a few minutes. The employee taking our order repeatedly asked if we were ready and seemed very rushed, which made us feel pressured to hurry up instead of enjoying the ordering process. I've worked in fast food and restaurants before, so I understand that customer service can be challenging, but being welcoming and patient goes a long way. A little more friendliness would have made a big difference. As for the drinks, they were good overall. I ordered the honey latte and really enjoyed the flavor. My only note is that I got it with whole milk, and the milk had a slightly funky, almost cheesy aftertaste that I wasn't expecting. I'm not sure what caused it, but it was noticeable. Overall, Coco Bloom has a great location, cute drinks, and pastries that look promising. I would gladly return, but I do think the customer service could use some improvement. With a more welcoming experience, this easily could have been a 5-star visit.
