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.

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.

Magic Lemonade - too sweet!!

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!

Ube top matcha

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!

The "Pay it Forward" bulletin board. Such a great idea!

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!

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.

This place gets crowded!! But for good reason, coffee is solid and the baristas are always so nice & welcoming. Their breakfast burrito is delicious and I've never had a bad drink here. Kid friendly and easy parking

I had the best customer service at High Tide. Cassidy was such a joy! The coffee was great and the spicy cottage cheese bowl was FIRE!

The everything bagel was toasted perfectly, and the chocolate muffin was soft, moist, and the perfect sweet treat alongside our drinks. The vanilla latte was smooth and well-balanced, while the iced matcha was refreshing and had a nice matcha flavor without being overly sweet. The café has a welcoming atmosphere and quality ingredients that really shine through in the food and drinks. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a good coffee or matcha run! Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area

They also didn't offer much explanation about their drinks, so if you're not sure what you want, it can feel a little rushed. Inside seating is very limited, which makes sense for the size. The highlights for us Young man offered me a sample of Kombucha: the kombucha was solid, and refreshing. Both the regular latte and the black latte were okay. The blackberry latte was better. One nice bonus is there's a great park just around the corner down the hill with beautiful views. You can grab your drink and drive over to sit and enjoy it there, which is a nice touch. But honestly, it's probably not worth making a special drive for.

What an amazing addition to the neighborhood. We recently discovered Golden Lantern Coffee and were…read moregenuinely impressed from the moment we walked in. Matt, the owner, could not have been kinder or more welcoming. The shop was packed, which makes complete sense after trying the coffee, but the atmosphere was still comfortable and inviting. The interior is beautifully done with a lot of attention to detail, and even the cups are innovative and unlike anything we've seen at other coffee shops. As for the coffee, it was outstanding. We consider ourselves pretty serious coffee connoisseurs and go out of our way to try great coffee shops wherever we can. Golden Lantern is easily up there with the best we've ever had. Having a coffee shop of this quality basically within walking distance is dangerous in the best possible way. We've definitely found our new go-to spot and will be regulars from here on out. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and an owner who genuinely makes you feel appreciated. Highly recommend Golden Lantern Coffee.

My first visit here was phenomenal. My second visit wasn't quite as good, but I'm chalking it up to…read morean off day or maybe just a drink that wasn't for me. I'll definitely be back because I really believe in the coffee they're roasting here. On my first visit, I tried their espresso flight, which I highly recommend. You get three single shots that are basically dealer's choice, and luckily one of mine was their peach fermented roast. That coffee was AMAZING. If I could give more than five stars just for those beans, I would. The peach fermentation really came through, and I was impressed enough to buy a bag to take home. The other shots included what I believe was their house blend, which was balanced, bold, not overly acidic or bitter, and made complete sense as an espresso they could use consistently in their milk drinks. The owner helped us that day, the service was great, and he even gave me one of their branded cups. I went back recently to try the fall menu and ordered their version of a banana latte with decaf. Unfortunately, this one didn't hit the same for me. There was a lot of milk and flavor, and I really couldn't taste the espresso. Since I had to order decaf that day, I'd like to go back and try their decaf espresso by itself before judging the coffee itself. It could simply be that this particular drink wasn't for me. Even with the second visit being just okay, I'm still giving them four stars. I drove about an hour and 10 minutes specifically to try this place, and based on that first experience and the quality of that fermented roast, it was absolutely worth the drive. I'll be back to try more.

I was running errands and felt the need for a bit o' espresso. The small parking lot was full but I found a spot on the street. I followed the signs from the parking lot to the inside of CrossFit. Immediately to the left when I entered stood a coffee stand where I was greeted by a charming young woman who took my order - a Madagascar (basically a vanilla bean latte). They have a variety of options on their menu but that was the one that appealed to me. You can sit at one of a couple tables inside and enjoy your brew while gawking at hardbodies working out or sit outside in a small area designated for customers. I was running errands so took it on the road. It had a light vanilla flavor but was very smooth and obviously made from a very good bean roast. If you're in the area, check it out for a different, fun experience from your typical coffee shop.

Location was pretty unique, it's a pop up so hopefully it stays for a while. Definitely adding this Vanilla Chai to my morning routine :)

This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

Came here on a whim yesterday to nest and study and I am so glad that I did! The coffee shop had…read moreplenty of seating and was very clean (I'm a neat freak so was definitely happy about this). They also had several outlets for to charge devices if needed and delicious air conditioning. The baristas were very friendly and kind and the atmosphere felt very comfy and relaxing. I especially liked their very chill music playlist. I ordered: - iced matcha latte w oat milk and vanilla (barista recommended) - banana oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and choco chips - plain bagel w cream cheese I really enjoyed the iced matcha, it is probably one of the better ones I have in OC. The matcha was super smooth and with the addition of the vanilla it created a sweet happy layer to it. I need to come back to try the other drinks! The banana oatmeal, while looking very tasty, didn't pass my satisfaction meter. The oatmeal in the bowl was cold and it was a thin layer of oats that laid on the bottom of the bowl. Presentation great, but for 9$, I would have wanted there to be at least 1-2 more scoops of oats in there to make it worth it. The plain bagel with cream cheese, I really enjoyed. The bagel was huge and it has a good toastiness to it. Additionally, the cream cheese was very light, not too rich and it helped make a delicious carb. Overall, I would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries from their menu! I also loved that the parking lot is easy to access and there are ample spots! Definitely try this spot, if you're in the area!

Laguna Beach, CA…read more I've wanted to try this single origin coffee roaster for quite some time and we finally stopped in For a late afternoon pick me up and boy did it pick us up! We met Ahmed who usually doesn't work at this location who was an absolute gem. Ahmed is so knowledgeable about coffee sourcing and the information he shared was in such a delightful way. He welcomed us and let us know all about the coffee and showed us the most beautiful hospitality, we went with his recommendations and he did not steer us wrong.
