    $8 for 2 tacos
    Hannah N.

    This place has an ambience that is very well thought out and visually appealing. They also have a drive-through, which is very convenient. I had the iced chai, which was very strong. I also tried their street tacos, which I thought were too expensive for the small amount of food that you can get. $8 for two small tacos with very little meat/ topping. Service is very friendly, they have a nice clean facilities in including bathroom. Plenty of parking outside too. The Wi-Fi was spotty also. Overall, my impression is that this is a place that has decent food and drinks, but feels expensive

    Breakfast burrito with sausage. It was so good.
    Sylvia H.

    The coffee was ok but the star here is the breakfast burrito. It had eggs, tater tots!, cheese, and we opted for sausage. It was wrapped very nicely, compact, making it easy to eat without it bursting apart on a drive. Tater tots are a huge bonus! Delicious breakfast burrito, might try it with bacon next time. Came with a side of a few tortilla chips (maybe mission), and salsa.

    Hot Latte

    The food was soooo good!! The ciabatta bread was the freshest bread I've ever had served, and the burrito was the softest wrap my boyfriend said! I also came here seeking out my first latte art experience, the first latte I ordered was in a to go cup, so I asked about a mug, they kindly informed me they were out however, to my suprise the kindest worker went out of his way to create latte art in my to go cup for me! Just want everyone to know, these people are great at what they do

    This coffee shop was clean and decorated so beautifully! The ambiance is spectacular! The customer service was amazing! I didn't get the name of the lady behind the counter but she was super nice! I told her it was my first time there and she made me feel welcomed and pointed out everything on the menu! I went with a vanilla latte and a cranberry orange muffin. The vanilla latte wasn't my cup of tea but the muffin was really good! If I lived in the area I would come back to try their breakfast menu and other coffee offerings. I just wasn't a fan of the latte.

    As a new mom, drive through options are so important. And I really appreciate this place being a healthier option. However, I have to agree with another review on here. Everything is just so inconsistent. Every time I go, I get a honey latte and a power bowl. The power bowl can take anywhere from 5-35 minute to be made regardless of how busy. And what left me to finally make this review is after driving away I pulled over to open the lid to my coffee that felt kinda empty to find this , my coffee half empty and tasting like water. I am not sure I will be back and it's really disappointing because I love the convenient of this place & it's a small business . Photo is after one sip

    Veggie Taco Win!
    Christy M.

    Okay, I was not expecting a coffee shop to deliver one of the best veggie tacos I've had in a long time, but here we are. Zebra House Coffee, you surprised me in the best way. The taco came wrapped in foil, nothing fancy, but it was loaded with goodness. Fresh corn, zucchini, radish, onion, cilantro, a little crumble of cheese--super colorful and flavorful. The tortilla had that soft, slightly chewy texture I love, not greasy, and held together really well even with all those veggies stuffed in there. It tasted fresh. Like actually-fresh, not "been-sitting-in-a-steamer-tray" fresh. You could tell they put a little love into it, which is rare for a coffee spot that could've easily just phoned it in. Also, side note: I came in for a coffee (which was also solid) but ended up leaving a taco fan. Bottom line--if you're grabbing a drink at Zebra House, do yourself a favor and order the veggie taco. You won't regret it.

    I came here before a work event to grab a drink and cowork with a colleague. This place reminds me of a Panera Bread but more localized. There's a few booth seatings with complimentary 2-hour wifi. The worker I interacted with was super sweet, and was able to provide me with some popular recommendations. I ended up getting the strawberry matcha which was both very strawberry and matcha-y. It was a little bit on the sweeter side for me, but if you prefer sweet drinks, this is definitely a good choice! This coffee shop also has a drive through, and a whole food menu. I also loved that there were dedicated parking spaces so you're not driving around looking for spots.

    Ordered a chorizo burrito earlier this week and asked for avocado didn't get any avocado, ok fine no biggie. Still charged me for it. Today I waited 30 minutes for another chorizo burrito and when I asked they said they were going to check on it (after waiting for 20 minutes) I'm pretty upset they just sent me to the wall to park and had no urgency. I come home and it's a bacon burrito. Really upset with how they just forgot. I walked in before finally getting handed my burrito and they had 2 customers sitting and 2 who were in line. I would've completely understood if they were packed but weren't. * Owner did reach out and refunded me I truly appreciate you speaking to the ladies working thank you Sara!

    Zebra coffee is my go to in San Clemente! Note for the drive-thru, they don't have an additional menu once you arrive at the ordering window; so take a photo or be sure you know what you're ordering ahead of time!

The night before my dissertation defense, I ordered a 96 oz coffee (joe-to-go) to go with a note saying I was defending my PhD (preemptively apologizing if I looked like a frazzled raccoon and worried anyone on accident while picking up). When I walked in at 7:45 AM (15 min earlier than my pick up time, bc anxiety), the staff immediately complimented my defense outfit -- instant confidence boost -- and when I said I was the person picking up "lots of coffee," they led me to the coffee, already packed and ready :') They all wished me good luck with the warmest, most dazzling smiles. They even included a note that said, "You got this~!" which I kept in front of me during my defense. (see photo) And I passed!!! Also, they gave me half-and-half and oat milk?? In this economy?? Oat milk is basically liquid gold. I felt so loved. So caffeinated. So non-dairy option supported. Usually after defenses, there is leftover coffee that people are trying to give away. But me and High Tide Coffee? No sir. No leftovers. One of my committee members had about 4-5 cups, and I am not exaggerating., (Even in a field that basically runs on coffee, academics are running on caffeine.... and wine, so a room of 12 people, not all drinking coffee, and still finishing 96 oz of coffee is a record.) Thank you, High Tide, for the excellent coffee, the kindness, the emotional support, and the very necessary academic bean juice. I am officially glad I chose you to help caffeinate the most important morning of my PhD. and thank you again for supporting me emotionally and caffeine-induced confidence :)

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.
