This place is awesome! My husband and I ventured out on a coffee date and were pleasantly surprised by ChocObean. We sat outside on the beautiful patio and shared a California sandwich and a granola and Greek yogurt bowl with fruits. We also had a cappuccino and a regular coffee which came out perfect and delicious. Service was quick and excellent!! We'll be back very soon! read more

Delicious blended vanilla latte!!! I didn't try their food, but there's always a next time. The customer service was welcoming and friendly. And the fun and chilled atmosphere was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed my blended vanilla latte! In fact, they're addictive! Highly recommended! read more

Staple in MV! Great service and the food is amazing! Kid-u-chino for my 5 year old and the jalapeño spread on the southwest chicken sandwich has kept me going back since 99! read more

Mikael and the entire staff are so awesome! I love coming here. Get the Chocobean spread and the Jalapeño spread! All of the food is amazing, but I love the California sandwich toasted. Yummy! Iced mocha is perfect. Don't modify it. You can sit inside or outside! All who visit are treated as guests and everyone is beyond friendly. So happy that they are in Mission Viejo on my way to the freeway!!!! Near Wells Fargo on Oso and Marguerite! read more

Such a great sandwich and the lavender latte with it is fantastic. Fresh ingredients and friendly service read more

ChocObean - This gluten free Nantucket sandwich is perfection. The lavender latte too. Who knew that lavender and cranberries go so well together! - Bagels Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Since new owner took over, this place has gone downhill - Understaffed and slow service is the accord for the day. As a loyal chocobean customer to the previous ownership family (I loved them - hard working, attentive, always there during the rush, pleasant and respectful, etc..), the new owner is a disappointment. Example - I came in today at 8:50, place was busy, owner nowhere to be seen - waited a long time to place order as the register fellow was also making the coffee(can you say understaffed). The pervious owner would have been at the espresso machine, working the line to expedite, but not the new guy. While I was waiting at least 12 minutes for my coffee, here comes the new owner, strolling in at 9:05AM and promptly disappears into the back of house while he can see that the place is busy. When he finally comes out, he walks around behind then counter, then goes up to the expresso machine and starts making a coffee for himself while register coffee maker guy is slammed with orders... !? WTF! This review may be harsh but it's the truth - small businesses succeed because the owner is involved every minute of the day. Sadly, this will be my last visit to this place as I search out a new local coffee shop. read more

Family owned business! Extremely friendly. They have the BEST blended ice coffees, and their food (specifically the breakfast sandwich) is the best thing you will ever have. Warm and cozy. The family is wonderful and work together to keep the business going. read more

I really like ChocObean. Been coming here since they opened. The ambiance is really cool. The service and food are spot on. Patio is a really nice touch. Check it out. You will like it. read more

This was my first time here. I saw all the great reviews and decided to try out a new coffee spot! I had a vanilla iced latte with almond milk. It was good! Not too sweet! I would probably get another shot of espresso as it tasted very light. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. It definitely made my morning! The place could use some TLC. But other than that it was great! I look forward to trying their food next time! read more

I met a good friend here for brunch. The weather was beautiful so we ate in the patio. Service was great and attentive, food was delicious. They have a variety of pastries and some bagels. Their cafe menu has a lot of yummy looking items. Enjoyed a quiche that had jalapeño peppers in it. Just the right amount of spice and seasonings. It came with a green salad which was tasty. The blueberry muffin was moist. I dipped it in the foam in my vanilla hazelnut latte, which was delicious as well! I will definitely be back to try other pastries and items on their menu. read more

Was in town for a couple days! I would highly suggest this to anyone looking for good coffee and food

WOW! I love this place. I stopped in before a manicure and had a chai latte and a bagel with pesto cream cheese. The bagels are definitely delicious and fresh and I was particularly impressed with the pesto cream cheese. It was so flavorful but not too overpowering. The chai latte as a good price and everything came out super quickly. Would recommend! read more

I was delighted to walk into this coffee shop and not see a single laptop! The interior has maybe a dozen wooden tables and about the same number of tables are outside. I came on a weekday morning and the customers were primarily seniors. I ordered a tall, hot peppermint mocha and chose a chocolate croissant from the multiple selections in the pastry case. The pastries are individually wrapped in clear plastic, something I've only seen in Asian pastry shops (I guess for sanitary reasons and also to keep them fresh longer). Aside from pastries they also serve a variety of breakfasts and sandwiches. Not seeing an order pickup spot I sat inside at one of the tables and figured they'd call my name. But instead, one of the spunky, cheerful women who work behind the counter brought my order to my table (which seemed to be the standard procedure). I appreciated the food is presented on real plates with actual silverware. My mocha was excellent. The peppermint flavor was light but instead of the taste of coffee in my mouth after each sip, I was feeling fresh and minty. The croissant, which I had requested to be warmed up (and was served at a perfect warmed temperature), was meager in chocolate filling but was crisp and fresh. I'm not sure if they are baked in-house or come from an outside source. This is definitely a great place to come for your coffee or to have a simple breakfast or lunch. read more

We were in the area and we're hungry. We found this place on yelp and I guess it's been here quite a while! We arrived at 11 AM on a Saturday. The parking was easy. There was a nice flow of people but too busy. We were warmly greeted, and I order was taken pretty quickly. He ordered the California breakfast sandwich, the coffee cake, and a drip coffee. Everything came out fast and hot. The sandwich was delicious! The coffee cake and the drip coffee were pretty good. Next time we are in the area, we will check it out again. We will try the chocolate chip coffee cake. read more

This place is great! Because of the customer service I actually bring my coworkers with me to show them what great customer service is. Something must be being done correctly to have such great people and happy people working in a place like this.. read more

Always happy to support a local business and am so happy that each visit is consistently positive. They serve great coffee drinks and have a good selection of food items, but the show stopper is always the fresh breakfast and sandwiches/ wraps made in house. Stopped by for a quick bite and was shocked by how huge my wrap was! The owners are here every day and they are the most delightful couple. They really care about their customers and even check in. For a small coffee shop, you wouldn't really expect that kind of service. It's nice. No frills, nothing fancy, just a cute family-owned business read more

Such a cute family-owned coffee shop! Service was amazing and we were greeted with smiles. The owners were very friendly and were making the orders among the staff. Ordered a white chocolate mocha and it was great! You know it's good when there's actual shaved white chocolate on top of the drink instead of just syrup. Menu is simple but offered good choices besides the drinks - pastries, bagels, breakfast. Cozy atmosphere with a decent amount of seating. Definitely recommend to stop here if in the area! Support this small business! read more

Let me start with I have been frequenting this place for nearly 20 years. It has gone through several owners and management, but they always did an exceptional job at making their coffee. Some of the best coffee you could find. Family and friends from out of town would often ask me to send it to them because it was so good. Not anymore. The mom dad and daughter that used to work there are no longer there as of last summer, and unfortunately the new owner doesn't seem to know what good coffee is. It honestly tastes like burnt whatever you want to refer to it as. I have been drinking the "Laguna's Choice" blend for the last 20 years, and unfortunately, the new management has ruined it. It's over cooked, it's burnt, it tastes like "sh1ii+t" as do all of their coffees now. I was there just earlier this week and ordered a Latte for my trip to work. First, when I walked in the front door it smelt like burnt/sweet sickness. But I figured hey, it's a latte, the milk will cover it up. Wrong, it was completely undrinkable. Burnt garbage. 1 year ago I would have said this has got to be one of the best coffee shops in the country. I would buy Foldgers or Maxwell house before I ever go here again. To the management and the new owner-you have completely ruined the coffee at this place. I am not sure if you don't have taste buds or what the issue is, but the coffee has gone from some of the best ever to undrinkable swill since you took over. read more

My husband and I went for a late lunch and were NOT disappointed. He had a GIANT California sandwich and I had the BLT. Both were made with fresh bread and were sized appropriately for their prices. We were given chips on the house as well. I also had a large iced tea with lemonade and it was incredibly delicious! Definitely going back. Plus, it's right next to my nail place! P.S. we ate on the patio, which was nicely hedged to protect from parking lot traffic noise. read more

Wonderful local family run coffee shop ! I am always amazed at the kindness of the owners the quality of the coffee and the variety of nice baked goods. They offer an array of breakfast and lunch options and treat everyone like a family member It's my go to place! read more

The place is awesome!! Service is fantastic, food is wonderful, and I loved the look of the place! They really took a lot of time making this place look and feel welcoming. Highly recommend if you're in the area!! read more

A family run shop that roast their own beans on the premise. We are Always welcomed with warmth and genuine greetings. The cappuccino and Lattes are awesome. I was getting them every morning on my way to work until my company moved. I've tried several of the breakfast on the weekends and they were great. I still go there every chance I get, weekend meetings and catching up with friends. There is a nice patio and plenty of seating inside. I miss it having it on daily basis though. read more

Showed up at 2:29 even though the hours are till 3 o'clock. Doors are locked and no sign that they're closing early. Bummer !!

The coffee is amazing and the owners are very sweet and crafty. It really made my morning with how calm and pleasant they were. Very relaxed environment. Thank you! read more

ChocObean - Old coffee roaster, this is actually super neat. - Bagels Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

We just discovered this little cafe. It's in the Mission Viejo Marketplace on the corner of Marguerite and Oso. They have the best coffee and the food is delicious. My husband says this is where he is going to get his breakfast burritos in the future. They are called Wraps on the menu. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive. You know it is great when so many Regulars are there. Go try it out! read more

Love this neighborhood cafe! Super friendly staff. They are so kind and the food and drinks are superb!

I still enjoy coming here for coffee and breakfast. I like their lattes, especially since they have several sugar-free flavors. It's a small coffee shop with several tables inside and outdoors. The staff is very friendly! read more

The service is horrible. Management cannot take accountability for any mistakes, huge lack of customer service skills. Extremely defensive over a complaint that could've been fixed easily. Disappointed to say the least, I really enjoyed the food but this left a horrible taste in my mouth. read more

I got the BLT. The staff was very friendly. The sandwich is goodly. It was well made, but I feel like the bacon was from breakfast. That morning was overly crispy. They should have some fresh bacon aside for BLTs especially. Especially since a BLT cost you $11. read more

Located in a strip mall off Marguerite Pkwy & Oso Pkwy. Came here for brunch while visiting with my sister in South Orange County. Place is nice and clean. They offer both indoor and outdoor patio seating. I went with the Californian Sandwich on sourdough toast and a Hazelnut Vanilla Royale Iced Coffee. Sandwich was tasty. All the ingredients were tasty and fresh. My beverage was nice and tasty as well. Walk-up counter order. Service was prompt and our drinks and food came out in a timely manner. Overall a pleasant experience with really good tasting food and drinks. Definitely recommend. If you're in the area and looking to support an independent coffee shop, Chocobean hits the spot. read more

I came here on a Friday morning around 10am and it was very peaceful and quiet. It's such a serene spot tucked in the corner of the Mission Viejo Market Place. I was promptly greeted by the staff, which I enjoyed. They were all very friendly and attentive to anything that I needed. I ordered the hazelnut vanilla royale, iced with oat milk. It was a little on the sweeter side, but had a wonderful flavor. I am a big hazelnut fan so anytime I can get a beverage with this flavor, I do. They also had a great looking breakfast list that I unfortunately did not get to try because I was on the go. I definitely want to stop by here for some food in the future. read more

So glad we stopped by this place. The staff was incredibly welcoming. I felt so appreciated the minute we walked in. Every single staff member there was so nice. The food was soooo good too. This has to be one of the best bagels and coffee I've ever had. I went with the well-being on an everything bagel and oh man was it delicious. It's an open faced bagel and you get plenty on both sides of the bagel. I also ordered a warmed blueberry scone and it was just as tasty. For coffee, I went with the Hawaiian Hazelnut. You can't go wrong with in house roasted coffee. Not one hundred percent sure which bagels my friends ordered but they all loved them just as much. Our food came out promptly and ingredients were all fresh. They were brought to our table with a warm smile and great attitude. I appreciate that so much. It's the little things that take an experience from good to great for me. My experience here this morning was great. I will definitely be back more often and would highly recommend it. read more
