I attended their 2nd day open. Unfortunately it was raining but the interior was beautifully decorated from the furniture to the books they choose to paint scheme to the counters. The 3 cars on display include a Ford GT, Porsche 996 and a BMW. They have a sand box and play space for kids in the back and they sell merch as well. Unfortunately the merch was extremely over priced, we're talking $52-$100 a piece for shirts/hoodies. The coffee which should be the main star was also over priced. An IVL with whole milk cost me $8+. Also the latte was extremely tart almost like someone over extracted it. But coffee is a subjective flavor and I could see they use a great machine. That said, they really need to improve their consistency and tasting profile if they want to be a hit after the hype wears off. Service overall was solid and friendly. Would I go back with a friend, yes. Did I enjoy the main star of the show, the coffee? No.

This place nails that perfect blend of coffee and cars! The interior is stunning, rugged, and industrial-chic, with gorgeous metal, leather, and wood details everywhere. It's a wide-open space that feels both raw and refined, and the back patio is a hidden gem. Oh, and the coffee? Actually delicious. Definitely worth a stop if you love unique vibes and a solid cup.

I got a flat and had to leave my car down the street. I am so glad I ran into this gem. I grew up loving cars, so I was floored when I walked up. The staff was super friendly who created great conversation. I ordered the salted maple signature latte and it was so good. Super well balanced and I just loved the ice. I know that that's a weird thing to rate, but it truly makes a difference! I saw the owner set up his laptop and work. When he saw that there was limited seating, he gave up his barstool. Every time he would see someone looking for somewhere to sit, he would find somewhere for them to sit. I thought that was fucking awesome. I don't live nearby but I would definitely make the drive out to this location

Breakfast & F1 race

My favorite coffee and conversation spot, very well managed with great service, wonderful location for my dog and I to watch a formula 1 race or visit friends, good variety of coffee drinks and just enough food items to keep me going!

The coffee they sell there.

Nice Cars and good coffee. As advertised. Great service. Highly recommend. Will be back

If you're in San Clemente and into coffee and cars, this spot is an absolute gem. The coffee is amazing, smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you're grabbing a quick cup or hanging out for a bit. I'll have to try the matcha next time. The vibe is what really sets it apart. It's got that perfect laid-back SoCal feel, but with a cool twist--beautiful cars everywhere. It honestly feels more like an experience than just a coffee run. The space itself is super well done too! It is open, stylish, and a great place to hang with friends or just chill solo. A little something for the kids as well! You can tell they put thought into every detail. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and an awesome car scene with car people... hard to ask for much more. Definitely worth stopping by.

Great vibe, atmosphere, great people. If you are into cars, and love coffee this is the place to hang out. Came here after cars and coffee at the outlets, with my Honda S2000 roadster. Silver is such a classy color for cars like the Porsche, love the artistic approach, the aesthetic is pleasing to the eye. The pastry we ordered was a cheese danish and it was delicious. We also ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was wonderful, coffee forward and not too sweet or sugary. It was perfect. One of the owners or managers came over to us (I think his name was Nick) and greeted us, asked if there was anything we needed, you could really tell this place cares a lot about their customers. Would love to get some S2000 friends together here for a gathering! Will definitely be back here for sure!

THIS PLACE IS SO COOL especially if you're a car guy/girl came here with some friends and had a great experience thanks to the cool ambiance and friendly staff service and the drinks are good they have a wide variety of snacks looking forward to coming back and trying those!

An example of the care put into each order

Great service with an amazing menu of coffee drinks, matchas, and a selection of mocktails that are kick ass tasty. I B had the Bella an expression martini. The mochas were first rate.

Inside

This place was good, service was great, environment was cool, I just wish they had gluten free food options

Already a huge fan of this spot-great coffees, gorgeous location, and an A+ staff! One of the owners even gave up his seat at the bar for me to sit and do some work and enjoy my coffee-thank you Petrol Club team!

Great place for coffee and browsing cars, especially if you're a car enthusiast like myself. Ambiance is unparalleled. They have an E34 M5, a 964 Carrera 2, and a Ford GT on display. Doesn't get much cooler than that.

It's no Jonathan Club (Santa Monica) but for a private beach front one-story structure with ample…read morepatio seating, tennis courts, basketball courts, large BBQ grills, kitchen, restrooms, shuffle board, foosball, two swings and a little playground structure, plus reserved parking, the Shorecliffs Beach Club does the job for its homeowner members in the area. *There is no parking anywhere nearby due to the high traffic. This place is located where Coast Hwy turns into El Camino Real. I was lucky to have been a guest here twice, once for a private party (rental for a fee) and most recently for 4th of July. It was packed but it seemed like everyone was staying out of everyone else's way. Members had to wear special wristbands and guests had different wristbands. Although the facilities for a beach club are sufficient, there are some insufficiencies to note. I couldn't tell if any staff was actually enforcing / ensuring that the general public wasn't wandering in (there was nothing stopping anyone from just coming in from the beach side and the main gate that supposedly required an electronic fob was wide open), but for sure no one was regularly checking the restrooms because the toilet paper for all 3 stalls were out of toilet paper. Not the beach club's fault but the sand at this beach is now very rocky. I was also told that 4th of July used to be a huge event but this year it was mostly a host-your-own type of deal with some scheduled events Lastly, to get to the property, you have to go under a bridge next to this disgusting body of water that may be runoff from waste treatment that sometimes flood over. There is no on-site parking - it's a nondescript lot next to the gas station across Coast Hwy/El Camino Real, but it is reserved - simply have your sticker displayed in your car. Basically, posh this place is not, but it works if you are a member and need beach club facilities or need a place to host a private event.

Over the past few years, Shorecliffs Beach Club has evolved into a beautiful resort-style getaway!…read more The clubhouse area has been remodeled with new flooring and furniture. The playground, beach recreation areas, paddle tennis courts and picnic tables are stellar. The grounds have even been landscaped with exotic plants and a swag hemp fence. The clubhouse and bathrooms are clean, sanitized and always stocked. The private parking lot has ample room with more than 100 parking spots for Shorecliffs Beach Club members and their guests. Parking stickers or paper guest parking passes must be displayed on the inside front window of each vehicle. The staff members over the past few years have been incredible as well. They are hardworking, helpful and enforce the rules set by the board of directors. Membership wristbands are checked and members must sign in any guests. The staff never allows non-residents onto the premises unless they are accompanied by a Shorecliffs member. You must check out the updated website to see just how amazing the club has become.

It was the home of the original founding family of the city, with the unique Spanish Colonial Revival architecture style that is popular in the area. Today, it is a private cultural center and event space, with many of its historical aspects preserved in a clean and classy way. We visited as part of a private photo shoot and it was really quite amazing. It offers awesome views of the San Clemente pier and beach. It is currently undergoing renovation in some areas, and will be even better when it is done. It looks like people use this as a place to have weddings and other small events. It's open to the public on a limited schedule so check the website before you go. If you're gonna check it out.

They played everything, lots of crowd pleasers. There are definitely some regulars here and they are out on the dance floor having a good time. Even though you may think a few of them are snobby rich women, once they've had a few drinks we're all pals. Lots of people just dance with whoever and have fun. I absolutely loved our bartender, I wish I'd caught her name. She was working the dance floor bar. I don't drink anymore and just read that Club Soda is sugarfree and Tonic Water has sugar. So I ordered a Club Soda with lime and she was like, "that's my drink too!" and did you know that O blood type should drink club soda? No, I did not know that. I came back for many during the evening. We were with a big group celebrating our friend's birthday and it was a lot of fun. At one point I asked the band (and tipped $20) if our friend Mark could sing Purple Rain. They obliged, he killed it, it was a fantastic time. When we used to live in San Juan, we didn't come here nearly enough which I regret. We will definitely be back to enjoy the live music on the weekends!
