I was at Doheny Beach and needed some caffeine. I found Rosetta on Yelp so I decided to give it a try. I followed the map and it was not obvious where Rosetta was located because it is actually inside a car wash. The parking lot was full so I had to find parking along the street. It was relatively empty inside and I ordered a hot almond milk latte. My drink came out in an unbranded white cup. Diving into my drink, the latte was rich, creamy, and very smooth. One of the better lattes I have had. Definitely a gem hidden in a car wash. read more

Super great coffee here! It's inside a little shop attached to the car wash/gas station. The man working was so sweet! Definitely a master at his craft. Also greatly priced! I got the iced vanilla latte with whole milk. 10/10! Will come back next time i'm in the area! read more

Stopped by here on the drive to Escondido based on the Yelp reviews. Service was fast and friendly and coffee was very good. My only complaint is that it wasn't served very hot. I asked for extra hot and it wasn't even normal hot to me. What can I say, I like a hot coffee! I got an oat milk latte with the Cinnamon Miel syrup to go.. with $1 tip it was $8. It was just the right amount of sweetness added. I think if it was hotter I would have loved it. I still recommend it for quality and if you need it extra hot, just reiterate that! read more

I wasn't really expecting much from a car wash coffee shop. However this is spot had really great coffee. Unique flavors and a neat set up. Service was excellent, this is quality coffee so it wasn't super quick as he did have over the cup drip style coffee. However the small wait is worth it. read more

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. Brian is great at what he does and it's easy to tell that he takes his craft very seriously. Both my partner and I had Star Anise lattes and they were delicious. We also shared a tasty fruit tart. The location is hard to find because it's located within a car wash which we didn't realize. I'm sure it's very convenient if you need a car wash and a tasty treat! It's not far from the beach though, we took both our lattes and our pastry down to Doheny. I'm definitely going to come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Located inside the Car Wash! Great little coffee shop, with pastries. The area is shared with a gas station where you can get snacks and drinks as well. Some seating and a couch for you to relax inside as well. I ordered the Iced Chai Latte, really good flavor and nice spiciness to it! I will be back to try the Lavender Latte! Great place to grab a coffee before heading to the beach! read more

Stopped in to meet a friend for coffee and had no idea what a great little place this was! Tucked inside a car wash you would never know about it unless someone recommended it to you. Everything is made to order and served in a beautiful cup or to go. I tried the mocha and it was just delicious. Can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

Such an amazing experience. Conveniently located inside the car wash store. You can fill your gas tank, wash your car and enjoy a delicious and fresh cup of coffee. Rosetta is not just an ordinary coffee shop, Brian takes his coffee very seriously and is an artist with every cup that he makes. The lavender latte was heavenly and Aztec mocha was insanely delicious! Brian offers the best service and you can enjoy inside at the bar or sitting area or outside while you wait for your car. Great ambiance for a car wash/gas station coffee shop. read more

Rosetta Chai and Aztec mocha coffee were our choices, and oh my goodness!!! How lucky that we found this place as we almost gave up!! It is located INSIDE the car wash building and silly me kept driving by without looking at the actual reviews to read that others have said where it is actually located! The batista is SOOOO NICE!! Would probably spend so much money here if I lived close by as I would want this Chai daily! read more

On our way to Knotts Berry Farm from San Diego, I really needed some coffee. I found Rosetta via yelp and was impressed with the stellar reviews. I decided to go against the wishes of my husband ("It's gonna delay the trip") but I needed coffee and I was driving. Lol. I couldn't find it at first but like others mentioned its at the car wash so I was already unimpressed but the service was incredible! Brian was friendly and charming in an unassuming way. I wish this place was closer by so I could talk to Brian on a weekly/monthly basis. That guy is so cool. Now, back to coffee. I couldn't decide between the vanilla latte or mocha. Those two are my go-tos in any new coffee shop because if they can't get the coffee right, then at least it will be sweet! Brian talked about my preferences and we decided that the vanilla latte would be the better option. Fortunately, the vanilla latte was great - not too sweet and hot - just right. I also liked that he hand pours the syrup. Service: 5/5 keep it up, Brian! Thanks for being so nice and friendly :) This could serve as a nice pit stop between LA & SD as parking and bathroom is available as well as other iced beverages such as a diet soda. read more

Just messing around to past the time and stumbled on this coffee shop. It's located inside a car wash, who would have thought? The inside of coffee shop is pretty cute, it shares the space with the Carwash so there are some interesting stuff to look at while waiting for your coffee. There wasn't any pastries left when we were there but the coffee shop does offer it. The Aztec mocha and lavender ice latte. The mocha was really good, rich dark chocolate with a hint chipotle. Creamy and smooth with a spicy kick to it. There are tables on the outdoor patio, it seems peaceful enough, no interfering noise from the car wash. I think the owner works here as barista. Good coffee, good service!! Strongly recommend to check it out and great way to support small business. read more

This located inside the car wash. When I parked on the street the car wash service asked us if we were looking for the coffee shop so they pointed us where. Coffee was interesting in a good way. Ordered matcha latte it was kinda sweet but I really like it. Also, lavender latte it was good, you can taste the lavender. If you're fan of lavender highly recommend it. Coffee and service is great read more

Oh man what a treat! This place admittedly was a little tricky to find. It's inside the car wash lobby. At first I was a little skeptical about the reviews but figured oh well let's try it since it's very close by Doheny beach where I was camping and I am so glad I did. Let's talk about the customer service. I had a few questions about what the order and the lady taking my order was super friendly, approachable and very helpful. I had such a great time that I went back again the next day and had the pleasure of speaking with the gentleman making the coffee and had a informative and funny conversation with him. Now on to the coffee. The coffee was delicious! I ordered the lavender latte and got my girlfriend a matcha latte. The espresso was delicious in my latte and he made the latte art look effortless, I was impressed and jealous lol. The matcha latte had a really good balance of sweet but not too sweet and not bitter which can be an issue. If you are anywhere nearby and want a good cup of coffee, don't miss this place. read more

Funky location in a hand car wash spot. The coffee is so good you may forget to get your car for an hour or two. Worth the 20 min drive to get here every time. read more

Coffee in a car wash?? That's what I thought too! But no, this place is LEGIT. Top of the equipment, a whole selection of single origin beans and the set up for delicious pour overs. The lattes are amazing as well. This is a hidden gem and do not judge this book by its cover. A friendly and engaging staff, this is a must go! read more

I wasn't sure about this location when I arrived, but just make sure you go inside the car wash station. This cafe is inside the building. I've been on a mission to try as many new places in search of the best coffee spots. I got the lavender latte and aztec mocha. I like the different options of lattes here. The espresso wasn't well expressed (coffee flavor could've een stronger) but what really makes this place stand out are the latte flavors. I usually find latte flavors get weak as you keep sipping at other places. Not this place! I will certainly come back to try more flavors especially the chai. read more

Rosetta Coffee - The Hidden Gem You're Missing Tucked inside a car wash in San Juan Capistrano, Rosetta Coffee is the kind of place you almost don't want to tell people about--because once word gets out, it'll never be the same. But Brian, the owner, deserves the business, and great coffee like this deserves a bigger audience. I've been coming here for 2-3 years, and this week alone, I've already been twice. Why? Because it's that good. The iced vanilla latte isn't just the best in Orange County--it might be the best in California. Smooth, balanced, just the right amount of vanilla, and none of that artificial syrupy nonsense you get at most places. Brian knows coffee. He's not just running a shop--he's creating an experience. Every cup is dialed in, every shot pulled with care. No gimmicks, no pretense. Just great coffee in an unassuming spot most people would drive right past. Don't make that mistake. Get yourself to Rosetta Coffee. You'll wonder why you ever went anywhere else. Like my writing? Check out more here: https://theworldunfolding.beehiiv.com/ read more

I found this spot on Yelp, and I was in the area in desperate need of caffeine. I walked around the area a few times until I saw the sign that said it was inside the car wash. This set my expectations very very low. There is very limited indoor seating, but there are tables outside. Much to my surprise, my iced vanilla latte was decent ... just very light - so if there is a next time, I'll have to add a shot. As a note - the only real milk option they have is whole. I'm normally a 2% or non fat guy. They did have some of the fake milk, almond or oat or whatever, can't remember which one. This isn't a place to come hang out. It's just a spot to grab a drink and bail or drink a coffee while getting a car wash. read more

Probably the best coffee in south county.... This newer location is a little hidden inside a car wash but don't be fooled... it is exceptional quality and how you know it's owned by someone passionate about coffee. Last visit we had the lavender latte and Aztec mocha. Both outstanding and almost ordered a second set of drinks to take for later. Try it, guaranteed you won't be disappointed (unless you are looking for generic sugar drinks like a bucks). Not sure what you want? Just ask and Brian will guide you to something just right. read more

Cute little place, great outdoor seating under shady trees. Great coffee. Service can be slow but a great choice if you're not in a rush.

Very unimpressed with this whole area at Crown Valley and Niguel. From the moment you pulled in thru the drive way passed the Taco Bell, it smells horrid! The smell of raw sewage is not the first thing I want to smell when I walk into a coffee shop. Sadden this morning started this way but not coming back. I am not faulting the business for this outside issue, but if I am going to spend money at any establishment, then I would like it to be pleasant. It was not just that time, every time we drive by this area it smells bad. Sorry but I just can't if it's unpleasant, I'm not coming back. read more

Best coffee in South County by far. Once you find it, you'll be pleasantly surprised! We usually park on Domingo Ave. or behind the gold shop. Brian is so friendly & really knows his stuff (definitely a coffee snob which is a great thing)! My go to is an almond latte with oat milk & a cinnamon twist (SOOO GOOD!). I have yet to try anything else & know I'm over doing it but the combo is perfect. Closed Monday & Tuesday & on days when it rains. Get a cinnamon twist. read more

Found this place on Yelp! while on a quick baecation getaway coming from San Diego which is only about an hour away. If lavender is your thing, run don't walk to this place! They make an amazing Lavender latte. Brew was refined, and latte art on point, love the service! If you are in the area stop by, especially if staying at the Doubletree hotel which is around the corner. Note: the coffee shop is inside of the Doheny car wash. We had a little trouble finding it but some friendly car wash staff saw us and guided us in. If you're getting your car washed you might want to go have a coffee or tea while you wait. I was torn between the lavender latte and Chai latte which the owner makes in house, I'll try that tomorrow! Needless to say I'll be back here anytime I'm in the area. read more
