I was looking for a kid-friendly coffee shop to meet up with my friend from San Diego and I'm so…read moreglad that I found High Tide Coffee! The staff were very friendly and the coffee shop is so cute with bistro tables and booths to sit at. I ordered an iced vanilla latte that was delicious and got my son a milk that he gulped down. The best part was the kids area in the back, complete with a play kitchen, books, and a kids table and chairs. My son absolutely loved playing with all of the toys and I was able to visit with my friend while he played. The next time I'm in San Clemente, we will definitely be back for the delicious coffee and friendly atmosphere'

I had to go back for the Cinco de Mayo drop-in piñata cupcake session. It's nicely decorated with a calming ambiance plus always clean. They've got the friendliest staff...always willing to help me when I have questions. When I ate the buttercream, it was amazingly delicious...sooo creamyyy and really fresssh with the right amount of swwweetness. I can tell it's homemade. Overall, my experience has been wonderful. I can't wait to try their café menu items. I highly recommend Sugar Blossom to the Yelp Community :-) FYI: They also have gluten free options.

The multigrain bread was chewy and not sweet at all, the avocado was pilled on and the addition of goats cheese, tomato, garlic confit and chili flakes just made it next level.

Acai bowl was perfect for a hot summer day and the price is perfect for the portion. The bowl was…read morereally big and it was only $12. It was loaded with fruit, I ordered the Moonlight Acai Bowl. The acai was a little icey but wasn't too sweet. The ratio of acai compared to fruit was off, the bowl was like split in half of acai base and the other of fruit. I don't think the manager or owner evened it out well. Doesn't matter because it still tasted good! The granola was crunchy and sweet. After a long day in Laguna Beach, it was the perfect treat. They also have one in Laguna Beach too we just made our way to Dana Point for another obligation. Inside, they have seating and a big menu to choose from. They also have a bathroom and water station. Parking was easy too as you can park in their lot or street!

Alohana was close by, so we drove up the road and were there within 5 minutes. There's a few parking spots out front and we were able to get one at 2:50 pm on a Saturday. Inside it's cute, clean and there's seating, but they also have a few tables and chairs outside so we ate out there. I went with the Campground which has both Pitaya and Acai base, some granola and berries and banana slices. They were busy at the time making orders and we didn't wait too long for ours to come out. I will say, the bases were a little frost bitten or more icy when I got it, but it did melt down a bit more once I started eating it and then everything started to blend and it tasted good. I'm a huge fan of Blue Bowl and feel like nothing compares to theirs, but Alohana is on par with that. It's good if you want to take it to go and let it melt down a little to have that smooth consistency instead of fighitng with it and getting chunks at a time of the base. Definitely would recommend coming here after a long day at the beach or picking one up before heading to the beach to enjoy there. They also sell coffee and other random, but very cool, tchotchkes, clothes, art, that you wouldn't find at any other Acai bowl shop and it's very Dana Point. Great place to pick-up a unique souvenir if you're visiting from out of town.

My older sister introduced me to Mercado on the fly. We grabbed several items, and I got creative…read moreat home. As follows: We chose Mercado Laguna's chimichurri chicken; pre-marinated in garlic, aleppo pepper, red wine vinegar, and herbs. I put it into a skillet and twenty minutes later you've got four dishes that taste like a plan. Here is what you do: Char four tomatillos in the drippings, add sun-dried tomato, a splash of tequila, squeeze of orange; that's your salsa. Warm the refried beans in the same pan. Crumble cold cotija over the beans right before serving; salty, dry, and sharp enough to cut through everything warm underneath it. Guacamole is already waiting cold on the side. Mercado's vibe: Friendly, casual and relaxed, The Yantville Market in Saint Helena comes to mind and that of small Mediterranean bodegas, in particular Greece.

Being a decent person or human being is free. She was so rude, I completely lost my appetite and just walked away. I simply asked for a menu with prices and she kept gaslighting me telling me it was on the digital display to the side. I was so confused (because I didn't see it) that I asked my young kids and wife if they see anything and she kept insisting it was there. Then when she looked she said "oh I guess it's not there." No apology, only attitude and entitlement.

They have organic ingredients and lots of vitamin boosts, organic and gluten free options. Plus, they have options for alkaline water either a gallon or mason jar size. This not only reduces waste, but is healthier too. After I left I got a text for 15% off a future visit. I will be back to try more drinks soon!

I found it to be very pleasant and relaxing. The order taker with dark brown hair was super friendly with helping me pick my first drink, and he showed me all the signature drinks. He asked for my name and then instructed me how to pick up my order, which is on the opposite side of the bar area near the barista. They should call your name. It's kinda loud overall so you'll have to pay attention and listen We got a traditional vanilla iced latte as well as the coconut cream cold brew. Both were delicious. They use pebble ice. I'm generally not a huge fan just because it waters the drinks down a lot quicker. But it was delicious nonetheless very thick coconut cream on top. I only wish that the iced drinks were a lot bigger. But that would probably throw off the milk to espresso ratio. Outside, there's plenty of seating both couches and patio chairs. Inside cool vibes. I heard there's Wi-Fi but I did not use it. Really funky cool bathrooms. Overall, we had a great experience. I would definitely come back. I think prices are in line with everything else in town. You can opt for your drink for here which comes in glass or to go. We wanted to go in case we decide to get up early and go walk around. Street parking although there's some municipal lots. Pet friendly as well.

I ordered a muffin and the hua kai which is their cold brew with house coconut foam. The muffin was good. Perfect for pairing with a cup of coffee, but unfortunately I really didn't like the hua kai. The cold brew tasted almost sour and attempting to mix in some of the coconut foam did not help me offset the taste. I hate to throw away anything edible (and expensive) but I really didn't like their cold brew and could not get myself to finish it.
