Love this place! Can get a bit crowded sometimes but worth the wait for the lavender latte

Loved it! Perfect for a comfortable meet up. Avocado toast delicious--non fat Latte -great! Doesn't have the "I'm working here" or corporate feel. Friendly, mellow and no "Bougie" attitude. I'll definitely return. read more

I had a mixed experience during my visit for breakfast. On the positive side, the space is fantastic, large with plenty of tables and bar seating. The chai tea and beet avo toast were both delicious and good quality, but the service lacked polish. The server who took my order was friendly and helpful. Even though i was dining in, my tea came in a paper cup, and my toast sat in a box on the counter for 10 minutes until i finally asked for it. At nearly $19 for the order, the $12 toast felt a bit overpriced for the portion size, despite the great taste. Great flavors and a nice space, but for the price, id hope for better service and less to go packaging for dinenin guests. read more

High Tide Coffee in Aliso Viejo has such a cool, eclectic vibe. The last time I remember being in this space, it felt very different (possibly even a different coffee chain) but now it feels lively, packed, and thoughtfully laid out. The atmosphere alone makes it a great spot to meet a friend for coffee, which I'd definitely do again in the future. I tried their snickerdoodle coffee and really enjoyed it. It was unique and flavorful, though a bit on the rich side for my taste--but still very good. Prices are definitely on the higher end, but honestly, that seems to be the norm these days, even at Starbucks. Overall, it's a fun, inviting coffee shop with a great ambiance, and I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Tried Hidetide Coffee and honestly I don't get the hype. The coffee was pretty bad and tasted watered down, especially for the price. No flavor whatsoever .Service wasn't great either -- staff seemed uninterested and the whole experience felt unwelcoming. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

Idk what this comments are talking about! I love the vibe and the coffee, I could at a veggie breakfast burrito everyday but most importantly I LOVE THE GIRLS at this coffee shop. They always make me feel so welcomed and special. 10/10 no notes. read more

I'm loving High Tide's new cups (or new for me). I got a hot tea for the first time and was so pleased! I wished there was an option to add honey, but overall it was really good. I love the cool vibes and they are also currently doing a food drive to give back. I also love the pay it forward board! So much goodness! read more

The best breakfast food and drinks! I love the chai, and the Lemon meringue matcha. I also tried the bacon breakfast burrito with their decadent chipotle creamy sauce and the italiano panini is so good!!!! I will be a regular! read more

This location is larger and has more parking than the San Clemente location so that is already a plus. Drinks came out super quick I got the ube cream top matcha. It was a present decent matcha and the ube was potent. Warning, do not get this if you're having to go back to work in the office as it dyes your tongue purple lol. It's already a solid coffee shop and love that there's always unique seasonal drinks! read more

High Tide Coffee - Ube top matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

The staff was either chatting with each other or fighting with each other. Highly mismanaged and overstimulating environment for mediocre coffee. They don't require gloves or hair nets for any of the folks managing food. Absolute disaster and waste of time. read more

I absolutely loved it here! The drinks are so good! I got the mazapan topping and it was absolutely delicious. I also have gotten their food and it's to die for. They are always so sweet, just seem so happy to be there and that makes my heart so happy. The vibe is so cute, small; but still cute. I personally wouldn't work from there, too much going on. read more

Over priced, under served, and bitter coffee. I was shocked by their attitude. Given what I paid, I had expected better service. I was not happy and will never return. read more

This place is such a vibe. And the people who really need to check this place out are parents! There's a little section by the front with toys and a little pretend kitchen, so you can relax and enjoy your coffee while the kids entertain themselves. I just love the thoughtfulness behind this. As far as food and drink, what I got was really good! I ordered a matcha latte, bagel and lox, and a PB&J for my daughter. Matcha was great but came with no sweetener so you have to add your own. The rest of the food was yummy. Customer service was super friendly. First time coming here and the cashier/barista was talking to me like I'd been going there forever! You can tell everyone who comes here is a local: there's a familiarity with everyone and a sense of community. Not to mention there's tons of merch from the coffee shop and other local artists available to purchase. This is really what every coffee shop should aspire to be. Can't say enough good things about it! read more

As a mom, I really appreciate this cafe having a play kitchen and pinball machines to entertain my kids. I loved that the place was bustling with women who felt that this is a safe space for them to come and unwind with their children and other adults. The lavender honey latte was very delicious, they mix their own lavender honey so the taste was fragrant without being overly sweet. This place is very happening with lots of conversations. It is not the place to be at if you want to get work done but it's definitely a fun place to socialize. The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

High Tide Coffee - Chagachino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

First walking in the inside is a nice open concept with coffee bar in middle. Good vibe. The workers there were not very welcoming when we walked in. So that's a little bummer but not end of world. We were standing looking at the menu at the register with one of the workers standing right there and still said nothing to us. Overall experience is MADE with interaction so not much to be said there. Got the snickerdoodle and lavender latte as well as lemon poppy muffin Snickerdoodle latte- not very sweet ( I like it like that) I'd give it a mid level score for overall flavor. Lavender was not so good. Tasted very burnt, must have been the house made syrup they use. So maybe they could do a little better next time. Went in to try something else and they made a vanilla latte- that was good. Again not overly sweet which is good. And the espresso flavor was good overall. Lemon poppy muffin had really good flavor, icing was good. Size was good. But it was quite dry...not terrible but still dry. Overall good minus the lavender latte and the lack of welcoming from baristas. They were busy so give them a try! Maybe you'll have a different experience read more

I visited High Tide's Laguna Niguel location around noon on a Wednesday. It was pretty busy, but the wait for our orders wasn't too long at all. The interior was decorated nicely so it was a bummer that we couldn't find a spot to eat inside. It seemed like a great spot to get work done while enjoying a drink or food with friends. The employee who helped me with my order was so sweet. I tried their savory cottage cheese bowl & added lox to it, while friend got their florentine breakfast burrito--we both thought they were delicious! Would love to come back soon & try other dishes & drinks. read more

High Tide Coffee is a gem, and Elizabeth & Crew are a big reason why. She immediately understood my gluten-free needs and offered amazing suggestions with such engaging energy. The Kickin' Cottage Cheese Avocado Toast is the best I've ever had. Sweet and savory flavors that melt in your mouth. She introduced me to the Moon Drink & the Mother Earth Matcha exactly what I didn't know I needed. The whole crew radiates good vibes and the café is next to adorable local shops. I'm planning my return visit! read more

Matcha is my newest obsession lately and I'm so glad I chose the Matcha chaga. It has cacao, cinnamon and monk fruit and it was the perfect blend that was nutty and not so sweet. You walk inside this beautiful industrial style coffee shop that is full of light and color. It has so many adorable curated goods. I left with a vanilla car freshener You definitely can tell it's women owned because they have little Knick knacks that the little ones could play with, so very family friendly. The gals who served me were kind and inviting and it's just the perfect place to grab and go or sit down and eat a warm breakfast. Make sure you show these ladies some love, I know I will be more often :) read more

My friend and I were planning on catching up after not seeing each other for a while. She came across High Tide, so we decided to give it a try this morning. Upon arriving around 9am, there was a farmers market today, so parking was a bit difficult to find, despite the large lot. Here is what I ordered: The Grinch Latte: a seasonal drink that included vanilla syrup, matcha, and raspberry foam. I knew walking in I was most likely going to get a matcha, but this one definitely caught my eye. It came out and it was so cute, I didn't even want to drink it. Although I am not a raspberry person, the raspberry was not overwhelming and gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. Pear Pomegranate Toast: This was good! I liked the option for a sweet toast.It came with pear slices, pomegranate seeds, cinnamon, and some maple spread. I liked how the flavors came together and the crisp from the toast but the crunch from the seeds. Not sure if I would get this again, as it seems quite simple to make at home. It was definitely pricey for the portion. Overall, I am all for supporting small businesses and love that they are women owned. Everyone there was extremely nice and the seating was comfortable. There were outlets if you needed to plug in for work, so I definitely think I can come here in the future to get some stuff done. There are also so many other drinks I need to try! read more

We really wanted to love this place, but they definitely have a problem with people treating it like their office. There are exactly 3 tables inside that would fit more than 2 people, and all 3 were taken up by single patrons on their laptops. There are several "bar" style seats too, which were also taken up by laptop users, and several small tables that would fit a max of 2 people that were ALSO taken up by laptop users. We saw only 2 patrons inside that were actually using the tables to enjoy food or drink. Even the little bit of outside seating was taken up by laptop users. We came as a party of 4 and had to squeeze into a very awkward spot on the short side of the bar. When we ordered our food and drinks we asked about the laptop users and the worker just kind of brushed it off. Honestly the food was decent and the drinks too. The line was also decently long so clearly people want to come here, but I definitely imagine they are losing customers due to the seating issue! We definitely won't be back just for that reason. I know many coffee spots have these office type set up's, but I definitely think the only 3 tables should be reserved for people that actually want food read more

High Tide Coffee - Good luck getting a spot to eat your food - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Have an Iced Day! If you are a sucker for a good iced coffee drink, this place is for you! From their classic - iced vanilla latte to their snickerdoodle latte to their Grinch latte, High Tide Coffee kills it on their coffee drinks! They roast their own beans and pour up some delicious caffeinated drinks. The atmosphere is a fun, retro vibe, but it gets busy! Tables are often filled with people enjoying their drinks and the bar top is often filled with people working or chatting over a cup of coffee. It's a little loud, but just like the staff, people love to hang at the shop. The food isn't great. I'd recommend eating before you come or grabbing a bite afterwards. They nail the coffee, but skip the food. read more

Had coffee and breakfast with my daughter here, it was a very good experience, the food was great and my daughter played with a few kids with the kitchen and coffee that they have for children. I go back and forth between Oslo Coffee and here. They both have pretty good breakfast and coffee. I will say right now. They have one up because of the vegan options they have in the fridge. If I had known this, I would have been coming here more often, I'm so glad they had it. read more

Not so sure about this. The place is so cluttered with some random stuff where there's no space for people that lineup to order. The layout of the cafe is giving claustrophobic vibes. It's too small to have many things (ie. pinball machines, kiddie playground and stuff inside!) I don't know what it wants to be: a cafe or a family playground? I don't know. I was confused. The food is average just like those regular cafe shops with pastries and stuff. I do love the banana chocolate loaf! Pretty adorable size, and it's gluten free! The coffee is meh. The lavender latte is interesting, a little too perfumy for my taste. read more

Do not go to the starbucks across the street and come here instead! This is a great neighborhood coffee shop with some pastries and good food if a limited menu, but the coffee here is great! I love their fun seasonal flavors. They have a lot of cute merch, retro games for the kids, pretty good space for laptop work. read more

Mmmm coffee. Words of the wise. Do the coffee after the yoga workout, not before. YogaSix just opened next door and provides a decent backdrop to the SoCal coffee experience. Cool little mini-mall. You could literally get your nails done, get a sunless tan, wax your 'kini line, and get your matcha on. The store has a few little gift racks, pinball machines, and a few really good breakfast snacks. It's the coffee though and it's really hot n good. read more

High Tide Coffee - Avo toast! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

We walked into High Tide Coffee after seeing a line at the new boba shop around the corner a little after noon. I just needed a coffee after a busy morning. I opted for their small iced lavender honey latte. I figured that it's one of the ones they make regularly since it's on their menu at the top of the list. I just did not think it would take them so long to make it. There was maybe 2 people ahead of me before I got to the register. The cashier was friendly when she took my order. It was about 20 minutes or so before they called my name. While we were waiting, we noted the little play kitchen in the corner, the jars of honey for sale, along with other items. The furniture is a really interesting prefab construction. We saw the grinder in the back of the room. It seemed a bit cluttered in High Tide. Honestly, the wait was a little long for an iced latte. I am grateful that it was made to order but I had to wonder why they did not have a pitcher full of cooled espresso to make the process faster for them when iced drinks are ordered. I suppose if I had the time to be leisurely, I would not have cared about the wait but we were in a bit of a hurry and pressed for time. The lavender honey coffee was a bit sweet. I am not sure I would get it again. read more

Drinks were a bit overpriced and bland. I got the honey bee matcha. It was meh. The shop is pretty cute and the cashier seemed friendly. After they called my name, I went to the counter and asked if they had a drink for me (couldn't really hear since I was across the room). The barista didn't make eye contact or say a word, just pointed at the receipt with my name. Seemed like I was bothering her. read more

This place is literally so close to us, but we don't go here enough... It is not pet friendly on the inside however, they do have two small tables on the outside and some random concrete seats to sit on , and no shade available. We went on a Saturday, which was dog crazy . Everyone had their dog including us, and it was very uncomfortable. The coffee is nice . We really wish it was dog friendly on the inside. It's a cute place. read more
