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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Equator is a perfectly placed quaint coffee shop adjacent to the (Rivian) theatre, offering usual coffee shop fare alongside specialty drinks. I came on an early Saturday morning, getting a large banana latte ($6.75), a tasty, slightly sweet latte with a hint of bananas foster flavor. While the banana wasn't that striking the entire drink was well constructed, delicious, and reasonably priced for an upscale coffee shop in a very pricey area. Service was friendly, the location clean, and there is a small amount of seating. If in the area, skip Starbucks and stop at Equator. You will be pleased.

First of all, I love the Equator cold brew brands I get in glass bottle form, bought at Sprouts or Whole Foods already. I did not know they had a permanent residency here in Laguna Beach. Ya best believe, when I saw this for my search for coffee spots, every other option went out the window. It is in the busy street of PCH AND Broadway. It's a tourist's magnetic pull, due to all the cool little shops around. Also, the weekend I came is a three day weekend so I knew there would be tons of people coming in. Anywho, Equator faces the ocean. The establishment is small but there are a couple tables in side to sit; not meant for a huge group mind you. Also, there is some seating outside the establishment. Upon coming in, the smell of coffee and just food gave my tummy a rumble and I was excited to try the items. It is clean and very organized. I didn't catch my cashiers name but she is so sweet and she was the one who washing it down until other coworkers came to help. It's not overly packed but soon as I came in, I was first in line and 3 more people came behind me. It's a local's morning spot for sure. As for the items I had ordered: I ordered their Cold brew (comes only in 16 oz.) with half n half and vanilla. I sprinkled some common on top (I'm in a cinnamon phase rn). And ordered the Boichik Everythign bagel with cream cheese; cream cheese is extra btw for $1.75. I didn't mind paying extra for that because the bagel is NY inspired and it was super filling. Everything in total cost me approximately $13.something (I tipped the worker.) Seriously, I will be coming back knowing this place closes at 3pm daily and opens at 7:30am. Of course when I'm visiting the beaches here in Laguna. This place has won my heart over. read more
I grabbed a quick iced latte from here right after our morning at the beach. I got a latte with sea salt vanilla cold foam. The standard size latte comes with 2 shots, so it was pretty strong for me and I only drank a little over half (I saved the second half in the fridge and it still tasted great the next day!). The sea salt cream was so delicious! It contrasted beautifully with the coffee flavor in the latte, and it was definitely sweet but not too sweet. It comes with a perfect amount of foam/cream (coming from someone whose favorite part is the foam). Although I got my latte to go, I appreciated their cute seating arrangements inside and someday would love to come here and slowly enjoy my coffee! They have a bay window with a couple small drink tables by it, which makes for a very cozy and nostalgic vibe. read more

Coffee and reading has been my new favorite thing to do so I recently went to Equator and loved the vibe! Very small coffee shop with a couple indoor tables but they have a small patio for you to enjoy your coffee outside as well. This location is so cute and lovely being right across from the main beach and small shops. I decided to try something new with the coconut cold brew but thought it was alittle to sweet for my liking so I asked if I could have a splash of cold brew to fix it. They offered to remake it for me but the extra cold brew helped. Super helpful and kind. Will definitely come back to do some more reading. read more

Beautiful location with sweet live music right outside on the patio! Small, bright naturally lit inside. Got the strawberry matcha cream & a classic shakerato and it was very good! Matcha was decent, but the espresso was delicious. Baristas were kind and helpful! read more

Small location, bug coffee! I had the habibi latte - it was actually very good. Will go back again! read more
I honestly love this little coffee shop. It's cute, compact and very homey all at the same time. There's wood pieces placed tastefully throughout the store, some even making up the shelves on the walls. They're stocked with their own lines of beans and merch too, which I love. The coffee shop is connected to a building that was once a theater, but now a lounging area with Rivian SUVs and trucks parked inside. You can keep to the couches and tables or you can slip into one of the vehicles and see how it's like to be in a fully electric and modern car, if you don't already have one that is. As far as the drinks go, I have loved every single one I've bought from here. Their mocha's are to die for, their cold brews are strong but not bitter and their matcha lattes? Don't even get me started. I've been OBSESSED with their strawberry cream matcha latte ever since I've had my first one. At one point I was getting one every other day and I had to remind myself I only budget so much for outside drinks and food. The service is always speedy and spot on, even when they're busy I don't need to wait more than 5 mins for my drink to be ready and waiting for me. Their pastries are really good too, you can tell that they're fresh and have good flavor to them. I haven't tried their breakfast sandwiches though, but anyone I've asked who's had them says they're really good especially for the price you pay for them. All in all I love this shop and find myself visiting this place more often than I'd like to admit and will continue to do so, as long as their doors stay open read more
Although this is a small coffee the menu is quite extensive and we got the turmeric latte with 1 shot of expresso and it was perfect I also got the cold brew with lavender vanilla syrup and it was amazing. Give it a try much better than your big brand coffee shop! read more

Stumbled upon this cute, cozy, & delicious new coffee shop in Laguna Beach! Perfect location right across the street from the water. Drinks had super unique flavors like pear, habibi, and rooibos without being overly sweet. Staff was amazing and even got to meet the owner! Can't wait to come back! read more
Great location across from Laguna beach main beach area. Small with few seats inside and some seats outside by the historic Laguna beach theatre. The mocha was good and they have multiple milk options. Great spot to grab coffee and take a walk by the beach and enjoy the coffee on one of the many benches. read more

Came in today for a remake of a drink and honestly had a great experience. I'm hating myself for blanking on the General Managers name who assisted me in store- but she was incredibly sweet, offered a new drink, and gave me recommendations for flavors and sweetness levels. The vibes in there were really nice and both baristas were very welcoming. This iced matcha tea is pretty good and I got some generous cold foam Love this little spot down by Laguna main beach! read more
