This place was ADORABLE! I love the soft music and the calm vibe of this coffee place! It's very clean and the staff was so nice and friendly. And I always appreciate patience since I tend to take abit of time processing the menus. The drink I was really hoping to get was sold out unfortunately. So we got almost all the summer drinks, we recommend the bananas foster one!! Thank you for having us! read more

I really wished I would have took a pic but the serving size to cost is bad. I know prices have gone up but this is a little too much. Got a Coconut Cap iced and it was $8. 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. read more

I love this place and so does my true love. Enough said. Really kind service and good quality matcha. Probably my favorite in the area. read more

THE GOOD: PARKING is great. In a strip mall with a ton of parking spots. AMBIANCE was also great. Cute little coffee shop, with a very photo-worthy heart (their logo) on the wall. SERVICE was good. The baristas were patient with all of the customers as we fumbled around trying to figure out what the drink options were. THE BAD: COFFEE was okay. Not great. Just kind of... fine. MENU isn't on the wall or in large print anywhere. Everybody had to wait until they were at the point-of-sale area to read a handheld menu, causing delays and frustration from the line behind us. (Again, the baristas were super patient, but still, I'd like to know what I'm ordering before I'm face-to-face with them) read more

True Love Coffee - Coffee cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

I feel TLC was overhyped in my opinion. The location has a good parking lot, the patio area is spacious and well decorated. The little space was themed well, and friendly staff, but my mocha iced coffee fell short. It tasted as if I had it sitting out for 30 minutes and all the ice melted. If you're into shopping it opens up to a small boutique. The matcha here was good though. If you're a matcha lover, you should give this place a try. read more

Cute little coffee shop in San Juan Capistrano. The decor is very minimal, but cute, the shops sign gave me a bit of a tattoo parlor vibe. The coffee shop itself is small, and so is the menu, so there aren't a ton of options. I ordered the Fig Matcha, and the flavor was actually really yummy. I loved the little piece of fig they added on top--it gave the drink an extra touch. The employees were nice, and I was surprised to find that the coffee shop is attached to a clothing store. I wasn't expecting that, but it was fun to browse while waiting for my drink. Unfortunately, the matcha made me very sick, and I ended up with a horrible stomach ache afterward. Other than that, it's a cute spot with easy parking and a unique concept. Would I go back? Probably not, but I'm glad I gave it a try. read more

True Love Coffee was such a great find! We ordered a hot mocha and the special Notorious Fig Matcha -- and wow, the matcha was absolutely to die for. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and full of flavor. The mocha was rich and comforting too. Great drinks, cozy vibe, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to! read more

Stopped by today and was happy to see there was plenty of parking! The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. I ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk & was really excited to try it after seeing all the positive reviews and photos. Unfortunately, the iced chai didn't live up to the hype for me. The chia had a very strong spice flavor and the flavoring/ spices seemed to settle at the bottom of the cup. Even after stirring it well, the spices didn't fully blend in and the taste was still overpowering. Overall, the atmosphere and service were great ---- I just wished the chai had worked out better for me! read more

Great place to stop in for a quick coffee or tea to go. Small and convenient, but they don't have work space or even tables and chairs. There's a boutique next door, so grab and go or grab and shop. But you're not likely to hang out there much. Staff is friendly and the place is super cute. Definitely worth your while. read more

We came in not really knowing what to expect. It a small cute coffee shop with a nice ambiance. I usually would order coffee, but the Sunset lemonade matcha I got was sooo good.

This is a really cool spot with friendly staff to get come coffee. I grabbed a hot vanilla latte which was overall decent. The milk had a bit too much air during steaming and made my latte taste more airy rather than creamy. Still an enjoyable latte and I can see why locals come here. read more

Came here on Thanksgiving and luckily they were open. Their main coffee shop is quite small with limited seating but they have outdoor seating and an apparel side to shop at. We got their seasonal drinks which was a blackberry matcha with oatmilk and the cold brew. Both were very different and unique tasting. The matcha tasted fruity with blackberry taste and it didnt taste artificial which was great. Very refreshing! The cold brew was light and paired well with sparkling soda. A very unique combination but I'm typically not a fan of cold brew so it was not my favorite. Overall, it was a good experience with their cute aesthetic. They also have their own coffee beans for sale. The workers were friendly! read more

I've been eyeing True Love Coffee since they first opened and finally made my way in today. The space is super cute--the decor, vibe, and overall aesthetic are warm, stylish, and just super cute. It's definitely a spot you want to hang out in for a bit. Their menu leans more toward drip coffee than espresso drinks, but I ordered a vanilla latte and really enjoyed it. It was delicious and not overly sweet (without any modifications), though it did have a slightly sour note--maybe just the espresso profile. Still tasty overall! My husband and I also tried the smoked brisket breakfast tacos, which were very good and definitely worth ordering. Great atmosphere, good food and coffee, and such a charming place to finally check off my list. read more

Very small location. Not a place to sit and have coffee, just grab-and-go. Parking lot is narrow area too. Cashier was super nice and friendly. Ordered Iced Vanilla Latte with Almond Milk. It was good and light. Not bitter or strong coffee. I did add sugar substitute but that's just because I like it a little sweeter but truly does it need it. Comes in cute plastic cups too. read more

What a charming little place! My husband wanted to come try their special winter drink, The Heritage Latte, which features beans smoked at nearby Heritage BBQ. I don't drink much coffee so I got a hot chocolate. While we waited we checked out their merch, they have the cutest stuff! I ended up buying a coffee tumbler and some of their beans for my niece and her boyfriend, loved the packaging! Apparently you get a free coffee when you buy a tumbler, but since we had already ordered, we didn't take advantage of that. He loved his iced latte. It was unique, very salty! I actually did like the flavor, but the smokiness wasn't for me, it was intense! My hot chocolate was just alright, pretty weak on the chocolate flavor. If we popped in again I would probably try their chai latte. read more

LOVE TRUE LOVE!!!! Oh my gosh. I thought this place was only for Valentines Day ... but it's here always. HOW have I lived so many years on Earth without ever having a pastry called a Kouign-Amann???!! It is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! I can't even describe the crusty outside & sheer creamy inside. Absolutely stunning dessert. The barista explained it to me and I was smitten. So delicious I must go back. Must have another one. Truly exceptional!!! The 'short & sweet' coffee was mesmerizing as well. Just overall delicious! So fun to pour in the espresso. The barista chooses the creamer and it was a perfect pairing. You just go & try! read more

So happy I finally went to try out true love coffee. I've been seeing it all over the socials. About a 10 minute drive from where I live, which is great. Parking was a bit of a challenge on a Tuesday around 11 AM. I don't know if there's parking behind any of the buildings so bring your patients. Super cute entry with a walk up counter to place your order there's also a large pastry case that had strawberry stuffed croissant, banana bread, other croissants, and other baked items. There is a standard menu, which has all of the basic hot and cold beverages. And then they have a seasonal menu, which was also very cool. I chose to get the iced Gwen drink off the seasonal menu which is a vanilla cherry cappuccino, but I chose to have it made into a latte. I purchased that along with a pastry and headed out to the shared patio courtyard. The service is extremely helpful and friendly just as you would expect from the name of the location I really enjoyed the outdoor patio area. I opted to sit under an umbrella at one of the small white tables, but there are large larger, patio tables and chair chairs to relax and perhaps even do some work. I didn't have a very good cell signal and I tried to get on the Wi-Fi but it looks like you needed a password. I don't know if they offer free Wi-Fi. My only issue, and I don't wanna sound like a boomer or a Karen, is that there were some young mothers there with their toddlers having coffee and conversation which is great. Unfortunately their toddlers were running around all over the place. I don't necessarily think it's their playground per se, and they seem disruptive to some of the other customers. It's a place of business not a park. Although I did see a dog so I'm going to assume it's dog friendly. My drink was so delicious that I ordered another one to go. The pastry was also phenomenal. I will definitely come back and bring my hubs. Reasonably priced. Looks like they also had some coffee beans for sale as well. Maybe some retail items I didn't really see clearly. All in all 10 out of 10. read more

Found this place on Tik Tok, & me being the sucker for aesthetically pleasing coffee spots, I had to make a trip! We drove an hour & a half for this!! Lets get into it.. It was 3pm on a Tuesday, parking was easy, it's located in a shopping center plaza, easy to spot with its cute signs out front. We ordered an Iced Matcha 4/10 - only because I did ask for it to be on the sweeter side, by adding vanilla syrup. Unfortunately I didn't taste any sweetener let alone vanilla, so it just tasted like a heavy milk poured matcha :( My husband ordered the Iced Chai he loved it, but we both didnt like the after taste it gave, I cant really describe the taste, but it tasted off & not like Chai at all. Lastly, we ordered a cinnamon roll which was a 9/10 very crunchy, flaky, & savory. They had outside seating, we chose to take it to go, but they also have very cute picture worthy spots to take content photos/videos, as well as a small merchandise section which was very cute. The service was great! which is mostly why I gave it the stars, as well as the aesthetic of the place. I do live in Downtown LA, so I probably wouldn't make the drive to come back, due to the let down on the drinks tasting not being what we hoped for. But glad we stopped by for the experience! read more

Ordered an iced vanilla latte. I would give it a 3 star because I couldn't taste the vanilla at all, I mean not even a little. However, I gave it a 4 star because it was a great iced latte. It was the perfect balance of coffee and milk, leaning stronger on the coffee side. Plus the extra star goes to the staff who were kind and patient while we took some time to look at the menu. Location is small, but cute and attached to a clothing store. If I was in the area, I'm coming back and ordering the iced latte, it was good. read more

I went to True Love Coffee after hearing about it a lot and seeing it on social media. I typically think these places are over hyped. But I ordered a vanilla oat milk iced latte and was so impressed I can't wait to go back. I also ordered it for there and it came in a beautiful think glass. The staff was friendly and helpful when I asked questions on what to order. All of the pastries looked delicious, I am looking forward to trying some in my future visits. read more

True love is such a cute coffee shop! The attention to detailes were showcased everywhere you looked! There is a cute patio that you can enjoy your coffee. The service was fast and welcoming. I got the lavender latte (half sweet). I couldn't really taste the lavender. But the bold flavor of espresso was delicious. I also LOVED that they offer Organic milk which I think every coffee shop should do. I will for sure be back! read more

Don't know if this will make much of an impression but let's give it a go- I've been working on my wife for YEARS on showing her proper shots of espresso. It's one of my favorite things and I always share a sip when I get a really good one. She always makes this scrunched, disgusted face when she tries it. And she's had some excellent ones... But yesterday, I got a quad from True Love and shared a sip and much to my astonishment, she said it was so impressed, she was thinking of getting her own cup. I was flabbergasted. It was a proper shot, I'll tell you that but, being so good that my perpetual espresso hater wife would say that she wants her own.....? They're really on to something here. read more

Super hipster vibes here, and I'm loving it! Tame Impala playing in the background. Clientele in their trendy outfits waiting patiently for their drinks. Cool merch. Minimalist decor. Clean aesthetic. Cool men's boutique to browse next door. All that aside though, the coffee speaks for itself. I'm not taking about the lattes (which looked fab, latte art is on point - their chai is good, too, pictured below) but their batch brew and pour overs. They had 4 types of Ethiopian beans to choose from for the pour overs, and since the wait was going to be long for a pour over, I was happy to be offered the batch brew and saw that their batch brew was also an Ethiopian bean (My husband also worked in specialty coffee and would bring home beans for me to try - for some reason I really like the ones that come from that region of Africa). Hope they live long and prosper...and open one closer to Aliso Viejo :) read more
