I walked into this beautiful coffee shop within walking distance to the ocean. It was surprisingly spacious with lots of seating and a couple outlets. Additionally, they have merch, pastries and fresh roasted coffee bags ready to purchase. But in this occasion, I needed to sober up. So I got the horchata latte. The girl at the counter was really sweet and ensured I got my iced latte in a timely manner. It was really good. It was subtle, not too sweet with the perfect amount of syrup and cinnamon. I would get this again the next time I am in the area.
Stopped in for an iced latte and our friends got the featured drink which I think had cardamom in it and we all enjoyed our drinks. The order and pickup counter is so relaxing with some beautiful plants and big windows that let in ample natural light. There's also some seating area indoors but it was so beautiful outside we all got our drinks to go so we could walk along the beach. Would recommend for the friendly and knowledgeable baristas and quality coffee.
Great location and very clean and organized inside. The cashier was kind and helpful as it was our first time here. Unfortunately the coffee just was not good... I got the orange cardamom coffee and my boyfriend got a hazelnut drink. They both tasted the exact same and had no flavor. I understand they were lattes but they had zero coffee flavor at all and only tasted like straight milk. We ended up just getting new coffees down the street.
Ok so location is amazing love a cute little Laguna Beach Coffee shop. First time I came here I got their seasonal orange latte (back in April) and tbh not bad i enjoyed it. My bf got a latte with their house made almond milk at the time and it looked like the milk went bad and tasted horrible (picture below). You know what things happen it was just 1 latte so i kind of ignored it and went back a couple days ago. Got their vanilla latte and dirty chai with whole milk cause their almond milk now scares me. My vanilla latte tasted like a cup of milk that they poured next to an espresso shot (i'm talking the la croix of coffees here) and the dirty chai was watered down?? but also too spicy at the same time (this is coming from someone who has grown up drinking Indian chai so spices don't scare me but this one was weird). Now to food: We got their egg sandwich and u know what not bad probably the only redeeming quality of this place so far. Solid 7.5/10 I think, like nothing special but a good sandwich. We also got their breakfast burrito and that falls among the same lines, nothing special but not bad either and it came with a green sauce that was pretty good. tldr: don't be fooled by the vibes and expect a good cup of coffee, maybe stop by for the food though if u want
Was a nice pit stop for us as we did a family drive up the PCH from Dana Point to Newport and back down. I got the matcha, husband got drip coffee and he said it's decent. Will make it a regular stop while exploring all the shops and restaurants up and down the coast. Can't wait to come back and hang a little longer, and enjoy the ocean views from the cafe. p.s. when I clicked follow on IG, I noticed a post from the owner that he once lived in LA, and was doing all he can to help those affected by the fires. Was very heartening to see, and made me all the more willing to support this business.
This was such a cute Coffee place with some great options for breakfast and a variety of pastries. The inside had plenty of seating and cute books and bear decor. Super aesthetic, the prices are fair and the staff were welcoming and friendly. We came here on a busy Saturday morning we didn't wait long for our food. Will definitely be back soon on vacation. This is a great spot right before heading to the beach
Met my friend here and was warmly greeted by the staff. The vibe & layout inside was inviting and spacious with outside seating available (with a great view of the ocean). We both got a caramel latte and it was made so good! My friend also ordered a parfait and we inhaled it, it was so good. The wait wasn't very long and they even brought our drinks out to us (we sat outside). Definitely plan on coming back here!
Came into Bear Coast Coffee and it was so cute! It was decorated for Christmas and I loved it! So much seating indoors and very cozy! I got the lemongrass chamomile iced tea and it was perfect without sugar! The Cold Brew tasted light! I got avocado toast added and egg and the oatmeal! Everything was super yummy and let me tell you price wise it was great! Service was great as well! They were busy when we went but got everything really quickly! The hey even brought us our food!
Cute beach-front coffee shop! Stopped by for a coffee and the wait was quick. No breakfast burritos after 12 & the coffee was a bit sweet for my taste. But nice strong coffee, if you're not a fan of overly sweet drinks ask for less syrup or an add shot! Lavender caramel was my favorite!
One of my favorite coffee shops right next to the beach and a good spot to work at. The service is excellent and they're friendly and prompt. It's chill during the week a little busier but more a a good vibe. Food is tasty and reasonably price! Go to spot in Laguna and it's dog friendly!
Bear Coast has great coffee. Their lattes are really good quality and we also like their cold brew with cold foam. This location has an ocean view and you can grab your drink and walk right down to the water or walk around the shops in Laguna. Only downside is the parking is limited and can be really tough at times. Also, don't miss it as you're driving - they only have a sign that says "Beverages" outside!
my friend ordered the vanilla latte with their house made almond milk and she would rated it a 2/10. I ordered the horchata latte with their Housemade almond milk and it was disgusting. It was extremely sour! 0/10 However, I ordered the pistachio croissant and she ordered the egg and feta sandwich, both were amazing! what's disappointing is that our coffees were about $8 each! in conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this place for coffee at all and I won't be coming back.
Such a nice welcome to the neighborhood. Been anxiously awaiting it to open! I like the location as it's away from the congested touristy area, and hopefully remains a "local" spot. Space is really open w/ a cool coastal vibe. In terms of coffee, cappuccino was quite good. The nutmeg vanilla latte was good, but way too sweet for my palette. The egg sandwich was a bit disappointing. Egg was over cooked and hard. Lettuce, avocado kinda got lost in the brioche...bread / ingredients ratio = way too much bread. Would probably be way better on white or sourdough. Likely still getting up to speed and adjusting to the learning curve. Would def. Give another try again.
Sunday morning at 10. Staff was nice. Coffee was good but I don't recommend the food. It wasn't busy. 3 gals up at counter. 1 guy in back preparing the food alone. 4 breakfast items ordered, 1 order after another & came out at very different times. 2 ordered breakfast burritos & one came out 15 min later. He did keep us updated on status of food & apologized for delay. The poor guy needed some help which he didn't get from front staff. And they were not busy, saw them talking to each other while he was trying hard to keep up. I also had to go to the counter & tell them they were out of paper towels in bathroom. My decaf Americano was wonderful. The breakfast bowl was light on the greens, very heavy on avocado mash. Just ok but only $8. Burritos were not very large but tastes ok when they arrived. read more

Our free hotel breakfast wasn't really thrilling us so this place right next door saved the day. The mixed berry scone was truly flavorful and delicious and my husband enjoyed his morning glory muffin enough to purchase it two days in a row. We also were satisfied with our coffee and hot chocolate purchases. The staff here is very friendly and laidback. Undoubtably, we always appreciate any place with a good bear theme and feel compelled to support them. read more

Great staff and cool vibe. Lots like the Pacific Northwest. Go inside and enjoy the ambiance. Coffee is the best and 1/2 the cost of Starbucks. Please support our. Laguna Beaches Bear Coast Coffee. Enjoy the ocean view ! read more

The ambiance was very spacious and good variety of seating choices. The vibe of the cafe was very pleasant and I ordered their vanilla nutmeg latte with chai concentration but the latte wasn't as I expected. It was quite watery and I couldn't really taste the essence of the espresso. Although besides that the service was great and attentive. read more

This is a quaint little coffee shop right next to the beach. Bear Coast always serves decent quality coffee, and the baristas are so friendly and smiley here. My friend and I enjoyed our drinks as we stopped by the beach which was only a few steps outside to enjoy the view. There were more tables and seating than I expected so this may be a worthy study spot if I'm willing to make the drive out ever! read more

Fun little coffee shop a block off the beach. On the main road in Laguna. Great place to grab coffee and go sit on the beach and watch the surfers. Fun vibe. Staff was very friendly and gave some good recommendations. I didn't love the roast of coffee I ordered but that's probably my fault. Overall great spot in Laguna! read more

I saw a review from what must've been a grumpy single guy. He complained about a children's area which I thought was hilarious -- he clearly must not have children. My daughter enjoyed playing with the Legos quietly while she and I waited for my coffee. It was a great help because us mamas know that our babies sometimes can be hard to contain. I ordered the vanilla nutmeg coffee, and quite enjoyed the balanced taste. I guess the only thing I would say was that I wish the customer service was a little bit more friendly. I love that just a few steps away is the most amazing beautiful serene spot to reflect, and enjoy the ocean. read more

Finally a great coffee shop arrived to Laguna. I've been searching for a good coffee in Laguna for years so was very excited to see Bear Coast open the doors. It didn't disappoint. Excellent bean picks, perfectly roasted and brewed. Delightful. Their pastries are excellent too, especially the guava/cheese turnover. This location also sells coffee beans to brew at home, and two kinds we tried so far (Rwanda and Ethiopia) were both fantastic. Cannot recommend this coffee shop high enough. read more

Yucky, bitter, and very strong coffee. I had to add creamer and sugar and choke it down. I was still feeling the caffeine 5 hours later. Ham and egg sandwich was okay read more
