Stopped by wanting a cup of coffee. The inside is a bit on the darker side but not too bad. It's a pretty small yet cozy space, but there are a couple of tables outside which is great when the weather is nice. I ordered a regular hot latte with oat milk and the order came out pretty fast. I would say the taste is more on the darker side, but was pretty good! read more

Charming, independently owned coffee shop just off of I-5 in Capistrano Beach. Located in a strip mall, the shop is small, nicely decorated in a beachy minimalist style. They roast all of their own beans locally, which are available for purchase by the bag. Their menu is simple and inclusive of all the classics, plus Vietnamese coffee staple, condensed milk. To drink, I opted for a Latte with both oat and condensed milk. The artwork on top was a nice surprise. The latte was among the best I have ever enjoyed. I watched the barista work, and his attention to detail was impressive. They have top of the line equipment, and clearly care about the quality of their products. The only food option was a Croffle (croissant waffle hybrid), which are made to order, and drizzled in hot butter. I was initially disappointed that there were not more pastry options, but the Croffle was so delicious that I could not imagine anything eating else. Highly recommended. read more

We stopped by Rapport on our way to the beach for a morning walk. Don't let the lackluster exterior deter you from stepping inside. Sure, it's located next to a vape shop in a shopping strip with only a sign that says "COFFEE", but inside you'll get amazing coffee. I had a vanilla honey latte and it maybe the best latte I've ever had. It was amazing! My daughter was a bit disappointed that they didn't have an extensive pastry menu to choose from, but we got the only thing they had...The croffle. It was delicious....like I might be thinking about this heavenly delight for several days until I make it back delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

An unusual plaza to have an awesome hipster coffee place, nonetheless, I'm glad I ran across this place. Definitely a future customer. To start, the interior decore caught my attention from the start. Has an LA coffee shop vibe with its wooden furniture and olive green wall paint. A plethora of books and mags to choose from if you didn't bring any homework to keep you busy. Small and intimate, really great for solo book worms and small groups. My girlfriend and I ordered the Vanilla Latte and Cappucino, both with oat milk. An order of avocado toast with cream cheese just for curiosity. The beverages were delicious! Frothy and aromatic. It even came in sturdy ceramic cups! The toast was amazing! Thick crunchy sourdough dressed with an arugula salad and sweet vinaigrette(will need to replicate sometime). Good customer service too. The only downside I would say about this place is maybe more sturdier tables for the inside ones, a bit on the smaller side lol. read more

I am SO glad I decided to stop. On my way up from SD to OC, I decided to look for a new coffee shop, rather than visit one of my ol favorites and have to wait 45 minutes. After seeing their Yelp reviews, I knew I would be a fool to miss it. Rapport Coffee did NOT disappoint! I always get a black coffee to check for quality and originality. I love their fresh roasted coffee with a light bright lingering taste! You walk up to their door which now serves as a coffee bar and order. They have a few small tables and a bench outside. I was fortunate enough to have time to enjoy the Cafe jazz and journal a bit. I was by myself for about 15 minutes. Talk about serene. Soon, the locals arrived, one by one, singles, families, all very happy to be able to enjoy their beloved coffee shop offerings. I will certainly make a point to stop on my travels between lovely OC and SD. read more

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.

Plan to wait in line around 30 minutes or so just to be safe, and plan for 5 to 10 minutes while you navigate the parking lot. Food was really good to be honest, we did enjoyed our meals, their coffees, and lattes! Definitely a worthwhile visit of you find yourself here around Dana Point!

Great neighborhood coffee shop. I've lived in the neighborhood for a year and just discovered this little gem. It's in a very uneventful strip mall, nothing fancy on the outside, but when you walk in you immediately know they take pride in their craft. The almond milk latte is delicious, with the cinnamon flavor, it's their own in house recipe, not some gross sugar filled syrup from a chain. The shop is mellow, the people that work there are friendly. I highly recommend.Dont go to Starbucks, support this local business! read more

This place should be my favorite coffee shop ever. First impression was like a gallery with some seats. So clean and cute interior looked great. But their most powerful weapon was coffee. I tried COE pour-over and flat white. It was so good that I cannot explain with my words. You must go and try. read more

So far they've been open for only few weeks but definitely best coffee in town. Their syrups are made in-house and staffs are super friendly. I can see majority of their reviews have been deleted by Yelp assuming because none of their reviews had below five stars. That's how great their coffee is :) read more

The cup looked like a mini cauldron. It was not a 12 oz drink or even 16oz which I can see paying $8 for but not this one. 2nd if you provide a drink, make sure to put a lid on it. You fill it to the rim and as soon as you touch it you spill it. This is the only place I remember that does not put a lid. I had to walk across a very crowded room hoping to not spill on myself man's get a lid and straw. Lastly it is a small space and really could use expanding. The place is nicely decorated but just too small and is shared with the clothing shop next to it. Sorry, but not believe I will come back again.

It reminded me of one of my favorite local coffee shops back home, which is high praise. I expected it to be on the sweeter side, but it was perfectly balanced. It also wasn't overloaded with ice, so it never reached that watered down stage halfway through the drink. If I'm ever back in Dana Point, I'll gladly stop in for another one.

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.
