    Seating in store and vibes
    Paul W.

    This is the first equator coffee in socal I've been to and it's reasonably priced and located across the beach. You can see the strong Bay Area influence here (they also serve boichik bagels). Seating in the store is limited but there is a small courtyard as well as the Rivian theater next door. Overall, would recommend this as one of the better coffee shops in the area. I had the Habibi latte which is a mix of orange blossom, cardamon, clove, and vanilla. Overall a very solid drink and not overly spiced but also just a bit on the sweet side

    Strawberry Matcha Cream Latte

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Honestly, it was challenging finding a brunch place on a late Saturday morning and the line was so…read morelong when we arrived, we went across the street but everything at the place we checked across the street was meat-based with few vegetarian options, so we went back to Heidelberg. The wait wasn't as bad as we thought and gave us a chance to review the menu better. This place has quick turnaround for sure. Even though we were happy with what we ordered, we enviously eyed other plates coming out of the kitchen while we waited. We shared a California burrito, sans bacon, and avocado toast. Both were delicious! As were our coffees. There weee a few things I eyed on the menu that I plan to order next time I go back!

    cute brunch spot!!…read more ample seating outside and inside. water is self-serve. you order and then they bring your food to you. it was my first time there so i asked the worker what her favs were. she recommended to me the eggs and sausage as well as the breakfast burrito. i ended up ordering the california omelette as well. food was good and reasonably priced!! good portions. the breakfast burrito was cheesy so i personally liked it. the eggs and sausage were decent and my mom really liked her california omelette. the sun-dried tomatoes really hit the spot. overall, solid brunch spot. we got lucky in finding parking and tables but there was a line after us!!

Of course, the views are what really make this place special. The restaurant sits right above the Pacific Ocean, and the views were absolutely spectacular. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing lunch while enjoying the beauty of Laguna Beach. Our server, Peter, was also wonderful. He was welcoming, very nice, and informative with suggesting menu items and he made us feel right at home. Great food, beautiful views, and excellent service...what more could you ask for! We would definitely come back the next time we're in Laguna Beach!
