Small cute spot ! Amazing staff and great coffee ! Will definitely stop by again soon !!

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.

Cortado's

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.

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.

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.

Inside

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.

Medium americano with almond milk and honey

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

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.

I usually get matchas, yogurt bowls and the ham & cheese croissant are family faves as well. The staff, drinks and food are great. Lately it's been harder for me to order at the drive-thru unless someone is physically outside to take orders. There have been two incidents now where I've sat at the drive thru with no response. I've tried to say hello to see if there's a response and there is none. I think maybe the sensors are in need of maintenance. Please fix it because I've just driven off when this happens. Update: I went back 3/3/26 and sat at the drive thru waiting. Nobody answered so I figured the drive thru is closed. I go inside to order and I asked if the drive thru is closed. The baristas say it's open and "we saw you but we weren't sure if you were waiting to order from us or Hendels (next door ice cream shop)" but then why would I be waiting at better buzz to order from next door?!! then I hear them taking a drive thru order while I'm ordering at the counter. it's confirmed it's not the sensors that aren't picking up my car at the drive thru, I'm just being ignored. Cool. I won't be coming back.

the place is really cute and well decorated, certainly very beachy and unique in a way…read more the acai bowls are all i have when it comes to a base but it is really good and tastes similar to another delicious acai place, which is always nice. it's kind of smooth, sometimes it's icy. the uppers and lowers bowls are my favourite thing ever they're so good lol. service is also really fast and smooth and even when they're busy they have a smile on their faces. their matcha's okay tho not the best.

I thought it would be a fun treat to bring my daughter her favorite smoothie at Alohana Bowls, so I…read morebraved the parking lot, which is the size of a tiny NYC studio apartment, and went in. The line was about 10 people deep, so I decided to place the order online for my two smoothies and sit and wait. My order said it would be ready in 10 minutes, but I figured it may be a little longer given the line. So I sat down and watched about ten people order and get their bowls. After about 20 minutes I went up to the pick up counter and asked if I could check on my order. The young lady asked what I had ordered. I said smoothies and she said "I don't know I'm doing bowls", turned her back and started doing....well bowls I guess. After that super helpful interaction, I sat back down and waited some more. 30 minutes after I ordered I approached the counter again. The bowl person looked at me, walked away and started petting a dog in the shop. Her enthusiastically helpful nature is certainly something to be studied (that's sarcasm for those who missed it). Finally, an older gentleman approached and asked what I had ordered. A few minutes later I finally had my smoothies. Were they worth the 30+ minute wait and the parking lot game of Tetris? Not especially. Will I go back? Not likely. Had the Bowl Baroness been more helpful perhaps I would have left feeling differently.
