    Oat milk, that was supposed to have rooibos in it.
    Christen H.

    I ordered a rooibos latte w oat milk and they only gave me the oat milk. They usually make it correctly but the new employees are horrible and lazy. I came on May 2nd, 2026.

    Strawberry Matcha Cream Latte
    Ellen S.

    so cool to see an Equator Coffee shop this far south. Went to our first one in Marin County (northern california) years ago and the coffee is superb - robust with lots of depth and great tasting! It's a small shop with creative drinks, along with the standouts, and I think one lunch menu item. I tried the special strawberry matcha latte cream - basically strawberry cold foam on top of an iced matcha. it was delicious. The place is located right across the street from the beach. Cool vibes.

    Matcha Latte and Americano
    Johnnie C.

    A small place in the Rivian theater. The coffee here is very good and it was crowded at times. The line was long too. We had the Matcha latte and an Americano. Fantastic and delicious! There is two tables inside and three or more tables and chairs outside of the shop.

    We wanted to get over to this cute little closet of a coffee . I've got this great Italian espresso turns out some delicious tasting lattes , I enjoyed the spiced. Definitely well worth the go . Right across the street from main Beach , it's kind of cool sipping on your coffee and staring at the ocean.

    gay people from the bay area sure know how to brew a mean cup of coffee, but more than that they know how to create tasteful and exciting blends and give their coffee shops the quaintest cutest ambiance ever. This is probably my number 1 coffee shop in the whole world, and i've been to a lot of coffee shops aaaaaahh. equator takes the cake their prices make sense their flavors make sense their people make sense. and yeah i do drive 20 minutes for it.

    Espresso & Habibi Latte
    Jana H.

    Excellent coffee in a great setting! This is a great space with friendly staff and a menu with a lot of variety. Their espresso was done very well and tasted excellent. Also ordered their specialty Habibi Latte (orange blossom, cardamom, clove), and it was excellent. Definitely a perfectly spicy flavor. Bought some beans and am excited to use them! Definitely recommend and would go back over and over again.

    Autumn spice! So beautiful and delicious!

    Excellent drinks and top notch customer service! Don't go to Starbucks, go here instead!

    Cutest coffee shop location in the old movie theatre area. Small space inside, but there are a couple tables and a love bench with the view of the ocean. I got the sea same maple latte and got the ham and cheese as well as the almond pastry. Both were tasty. Normal prices for Laguna. Barista was nice!

    Two iced lattes in their way across the street to the beach.

    Equator Coffee is a small footprint, boutique coffee shop, in Laguna Beach, California. Their coffee has a depth of flavor that is hard to find. We ordered through the app and had lots of options to choose from including the level of sweetness, the amount of ice, the type of milk, and a variety of other factors. I would say they lean to the sweet side in their additional syrups and flavoring so be conscious as you choose those, (I went light sweet.) The prices are on the higher, fancy coffee side so a standard size vanilla latte iced with oat milk was $6.50. They also have some very unique flavors that those who like specialty coffees will enjoy experimenting with. The service was polite and quick, but on a busy day there will probably be a line. I am thrilled to find a coffee shop like this that is less acidic and more well-rounded in flavor than any of the popular chain shops you find everywhere else. This Equator Coffee is located directly across from the beach in Laguna Beach which creates a great incentive to take a walk or sit on the boardwalk with a coffee to start the day off right. I will definitely be coming back here in the future.

    Equator coffee At the taste of Laguna

    One of the best things we tasted at the taste of Laguna event last week, delicious coffee with amazing cream. We couldn't stop drinking it!

    Cute little coffee shop on PCH across Main Beach. Their flat white is delicious! I got a specialty cherry blossom cream iced matcha latte w oat milk and it was so yummy! I haven't tasted anything like it! It wasn't too sweet and the taste was delicate. Staff is friendly and patient with orders. Would definitely recommend.

    Laguna Beach, CA Equator Coffees has easily become my new favorite coffee shop in Southern California. It is really hard to find a Coffee shop that consistently delivers a good cup. So far Equator Coffees has delivered a perfect cup of coffee every single time. I found out today that their baristas who are named Kat and Tony were trained for over one month before the shop even opened. The quality of the beans is really high and you can just taste the perfection and dedication to quality that goes into every cup. I am looking forward to buying their coffee beans and making espresso at home. I am so thankful I found this spot!

    Must say we had perfect vanilla ice latte from here. It was a cute little spot by the beach. Friendly service and amazing coffee can't go wrong!

Meanwhile waiting , got myself familiar with the place and caught the vibe by the window. This is something expected especially by the beach. I got my drink and nice enough to allow me to help myself to sprinkle some cinnamon on my drink. Super cool. Make me feel like I added my own twist to the drink. Who doesn't like to feel engaged.

The shop has a very homey, family-friendly feel and the decor/aesthetic was really cute. The staff looked busy and overwhelmed but they did well. The location is also a huge plus since it's right across from the beach. Unfortunately, the matcha was a miss for me since it lacked flavor. I had read similar reviews before but still wanted to give it a try myself. I'd still be open to trying their coffee next time, though it seems more suited for people who enjoy lighter coffee or matcha flavors. If you prefer rich and bold flavors, this spot might not hit the mark for you. Hopefully they'll look into using a higher quality matcha in the future because the shop itself has a lot of potential and such a nice vibe.

    After spending time at Aliso Beach Park, my mom and I walked about half a mile to Rapport Coffee…read moreRoasters so we could grab drinks and bring them back to the beach to enjoy by the water. Totally worth the walk. The shop is simple and minimalistic inside, with a clean layout and a plant right in the center that gives the space a calm, relaxed vibe. Nothing flashy, just thoughtfully designed and comfortable. I ordered the iced Spanish latte and my mom got the iced chai. Both had an excellent balance of sweetness and coffee or tea flavor. Smooth, refreshing, and perfect for sipping while sitting on the sand. The workers were friendly and easy to order from, which made the experience even better. One thing that stood out to us was their logo, two hands shaped like coming together. In sign language, that sign means "connect," so as Deaf individuals, we immediately noticed it and wondered about the meaning behind it. It made the name "Rapport" feel even more intentional. Great drinks, welcoming service, and a perfect stop before heading back to the beach. We'd definitely do that walk again.

Interior is minimalist and clean. Baristas were all very nice. The cold brew coffee was one of the best I've had -- smooth, but robust, with a complex taste. AND it was under $5, which is a steal! I read that they roast coffees on site and I wouldn't doubt it! Unfortunately, while bean coffee was $23 for 200g, which is 7oz! My local roaster (Kean) would have the same price for 12oz. In their defense, they did have a massive bag that was $25. They had a bunch of great latte options, an espresso tonic, and tea options. They have pastries that looked delicious too. A great coffee and highly worth a visit!
