I ordered the vanilla latte, iced matcha, everything bagel, avocado toast, and a chocolate muffin. The avocado toast was fresh and flavorful with a bright lemony finish that made it stand out. 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 read more

Overall the experience was okay, but it didn't quite blow us away. The service felt pretty rushed they didn't really greet you or say hello, just asked for your order and waited. 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. read more

Unfortunately this coffee did not agree with my stomach. Must be the syrup or something because I'm fine with coffee I drink it everyday ...

My new year's resolution is to try new places and hopefully discover great eats for all to try. Well... Here is one! We stopped by Seven Seas Roasting Coffee Shop and it was so special! First, I've never been in that area of Aliso Viejo. It's charming! The establishment is very small with limited seating but it's super cute, very friendly service, and the coffee/food.... delish! I ordered a Caramel Latte with oatmilk, and Vegan BLT. So good! The coffee is great! No bitterness, which I prefer. The Vegan BLT was satisfying. Great ingredients, I personally love the heirloom tomatoes. My heart is happy! I hope you give it a try! read more

Seven Seas Roasting is a small coffee shop that closes shop early in the day at 4pm. They are located in a business complex with a residential community in the immediate vicinity. Cinnamon honey latte ($6.75 - 12oz) - This is made with espresso, cinnamon, organic honey, and whole milk. The coffee was rich and smooth and I could taste subtle hints of the cinnamon with honey. It was a great tasting drink. Overall, this is a cute coffee shop. Seating is limited to 2 small tables inside as well as a handful of tables outside. They do offer seasonal drinks and when I visited in the fall, they had pumpkin, maple pecan, and other fall themed drinks. The only reason why I'm not giving them an extra star is that I felt that pricing was on the higher side. read more

Love visiting Seven Seas Roasting in Aliso Viejo. They offer consistently great quality of both food and service. The staff are friendly and very accommodating to every patron's needs. The location offers unique seasonal drinks and food items that are crafted to perfection. I particularly enjoyed their franken matcha and London fog latte recently. Parking is free and plenty in front of the cafe. The outside seatings are nice too as you can see the palm trees, and it gives nice shaded areas to get work done. Personally, I really appreciated how close it is to Grand Park. Perfect for doing my dog walks and grabbing something to eat and drink to or from. It's a dog friendly cafe too. There's a water bowl right outside the entrance for thirsty doggos. read more

The last few times at Seven Seas has been a bit disappointing. I really enjoyed their iced lattes for many, many years and I'm not sure if their beans have changed or if their espresso machine is not dialed in correctly but the last few times have been too acidic and bitter for me. In addition, I've learned to judge a coffee shop by the amount of liquid left in the cup when requesting light ice. Some of the best ones ask if a milk top off is needed. This would have been nice considering how acidic their lattes have been. read more

Seven Seas Roasting - Latte with light ice - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I'm done with your company. I really want to support local businesses. But over the last nine months weh. I go in around 2 o'clock to 230, exactly the time I just went in, and you have no drip coffee and no cold brew. This has happened multiple times and you're open until 4 o'clock. The staff just shrugs and says we just don't have any. Are you telling me you can't have the very product you serve available until right before you close? read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I come in every so often with my friend who's been a regular for years. Usually it's fine service, always the one lady who has an attitude. However today was the last straw. She was exceptionally horrendous. Apparently the manager she is the manager (short, dark hair and the nostril piercings) and I surely hope not because everyone in the reviews I can see is talking about her. She is disgustingly mean taking your order and resumes talking shit to the other workers. Seven seas, you are losing loyal customers! read more

Was in the area after a doctor's appointment, and decided to try this little coffee shop after seeing the 4.5 rating. Very cool vibes inside, that was immediately ruined by the woman behind the register taking our order. Not sure if she was having a bad day and taking it out on customers, but I've never clicked "No tip" faster than I did today, with absolutely no hesitation. We definitely weren't the only ones, seeing that there's another negative experience/review from earlier today (2/19 10am). The real bummer is that I actually really enjoyed the coffee. Would I come back and give them another shot in hopes that she's not working that day? Probably not... read more

Seven Seas Roasting - Iced Vanilla Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Really great food and drinks! It's a small, cute coffee shop that's always packed with customers. There are some stools to sit on and drink your coffee/eat food inside, but there is also a decent amount of public seating outside. I've tried the Loc bagel and their el siete mares toast- they don't skimp on the salmon! I've only tried their honey cinnamon latte since I can't really do sugar (but this one you can adjust the sweetness) and it's fabulous. read more

Seven Seas Roasting - El Siete Mares - Avocado Toast SO GOOD - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Coffee is good, but the service isn't. I placed an online order for a coffee and a chia pudding. I got there and the rude cashier (dark hair, petite) told me they don't have it, which is fine, and said it would be refunded. There was no apology and when I asked her if I would get an email or some sort of confirmation, she said she didn't know and it was out of her hands because it's through square with an attitude. Even her coworker gave me this look like what the heck. The cashier needs more training and an attitide adjustment. If she continues with this sort of service, it'll push customers away. This was Thursday, 2/19 at 9am. read more

This cute spot in Aliso Viejo was a pleasant surprise . It was surrounded by other stores ie/barber, yoga etc. I found parking right in front and this cozy nook was just what I needed in the morning. I was welcomed with warm smiles from 3 gals working behind the cashier. I ordered one of their signature drinks lattes, the triple coconut but iced. It was not watered down, and had thee perfect taste of coconut. It has house made coconut syrup, coconut aminos and flakes of coconut. Am I drinking a coffee or a coconut paleta?! Amazing taste. Can't wait to come back here again. They had also so much merch, a body loofah that smelled like coffee , t-shirts, jackets, even a freezer that had ice cream inside that you can take pints to go.. so that left me curious that I need to check out next time. read more

Came out to check out this cafe shop and was surprised at how busy it was during the weekday around lunch. The line was out the door given how small this cafe is. There is not much space inside and there's only a couple high top chairs available. I ended up getting one of their signatures which was a honey cinnamon latte. I felt like the drink did not live up to my expectations since it seemed like it was such a popular spot. Definitely have had better lattes with this flavor profile before since this one seemed a bit watered down. read more

Seven Seas Roasting - 11.22.2024 Cinnamon Honey Latte...eh - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I stopped by this cozy little coffee shop and it was delightful. I ordered an iced chai, and it was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, just the right amount of spice. I also had the Drivin' Me Caprese Avocado Toast--hands down the best toast I've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully put together. The space is small, with only two tables, but it adds to the charm and makes it feel personal. I especially have to mention Brenda, who was so welcoming. During the short time I was there, I heard her greet customers by name, and she genuinely seemed to care. Refreshing to see amongst the hustle and bustle of OC. Cant wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Come here about three times a month. Every time it never disappoints. Coffee is always delicious. My favorite go to when I want to treat myself is the Cherry Bomb. They also have small chia bowls with variety of flavors. Even though the shop is small and gets busy I have never had to wait long for my coffee order and the workers are always friendly. The shop does have a small nook bar area to sit at that might fit about 3-4 grown adults but minimal sitting outside. read more

Seven Seas Roasting - Cherry Bomb & Matcha Chia - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

A couple years ago I was in the area and desiring a hot coffee on a rainy day and this place popped up on my app. When I arrived there was a line out the door and onto the sidewalk. I mean, I like coffee but not enough to stand in a ridculously long line out in the rain. So I bailed on that idea. Flash forward and I'm in the area again, this time on a hot day. I remember this place so give it another try. Parking is easy along the street. No line this time! The interior is super tiny with barely enough room for one person to order. There is a small side room with a couple little tables and several tables outside with umbrellas for shade. There was a helpful woman at the counter with a great sense of humor along with a fellow with the personality of a sheet of plywood. I ordered an iced maple latte and a croissant from the pastry case. I took them outside to one of the patio tables to relax and enjoy. The croissant was good; nothing special. It was fresh and flakey. The latte tasted fine, sweetened but I couldn't detect a maple flavor at all. But it was obviously made with an excellent bean roast. This coffee place is located in an enormous apartment community where there are many ground floor shops. If I lived in the community I would probably stop in here from time to time. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. My sister, her friends, and I go in a lot to get coffee on our break and unfortunately they are always rude to us. We tip every single time and always ask how their day is. The kindness is not returned and instead they are incredibly passive. We heard them the other day saying rude things about us! We will absolutely not be returning. The coffee and food is so overpriced and not worth the money at all. I really wish they could've been more kind considering how often we all came in. read more

The coffee/espresso was okay, I got a mocha. The outside area was pretty nice, the baristas were not very helpful and barely acknowledged me

Hello my BluGummyites! It's your gelatin boy, BG, back to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth! My intention is not to sully the 4.6 star rating that this establishment has without intention... But to spread the truth and say what, I'm sure other people are thinking, but not saying... If you're looking for a small quaint coffee shop in a neighborhood that is equally beautiful and quaint, then this might be your place! If you don't wanna walk the extra 20 minutes to Starbucks, then this ALSO might be your place! If you want to feel like you've stumbled into a hipster Gen Z, pretentious party, except it's not a party, it's a coffee shop that you have chosen to go to over any other... and the " hipster partygoers" aren't just hipster partygoers, but are the baristas and staff... Individuals who give you looks as if they don't understand how or why you've entered their space... (That is if they even acknowledge you at ALL when you enter...) Then this is most DEFINITELY your place! And lastly, if you would like burnt coffee and espresso and want to pay exuberant prices for it!---Then, I'm telling you, my friend, this is quite literally the most PERFECT coffee shop for you!!! Okay... attitude aside... the petite woman who wears glasses (circa winter/spring 2025) particularly needs to be called out for her... hmmm what is it? not necessarily rudeness... but a complete disinterest in the following: being friendly, smiling, enjoying the small joys of speaking to her fellow human... BluGummy can't tell you the amount of times he was friendly to this human only to receive blank stares, indifference, and an overall feeling that he was wasting her life and bothering her with an interaction. The way this little blue bear sees it... the owners of 7 Seas are either aware of the fact that their staff are plucked out of a yesteryear-Seattle/Portland-ish-stereotypical-angsty-pretentious scene which...if that's the case... then what more can anyone say?! YOU DID IT! Bang on! But! If they are NOT aware that their staff are so deficient and lacking in, not just good vibes, but even moderately good vibes, then it speaks to their complete obliviousness. And quite frankly if they are oblivious in that avenue why should this little blue sugar bear trust that they are doing anything else in their establishment with care and attention? BluGummy very much wants to love the coffee shop... There's a lot to love! First off, it's close, the wall of dog photos inside is very cute and gives off the warm vibe that the neighborhood is probably hoping for, the swag is cool, the logo is cool, But... If you're someone who enjoys a black Americano, or some sort of a beverage where you can actually taste the coffee without masking it with milk, sugar or anything else you need to to get through the drink... Then you'll know the coffee quality is poor and burnt. But I also want to be fair... Not all the staff super suck. Some are...I'll saaaay okay But the way I see it, in today's world of copious negativity, all people, especially businesses, especially especially service businesses like Seven Seas, should be putting at least a handful of attention on ensuring their staff are above average friendly. It doesn't have to feel like we're getting hit over the head with pleasantries and niceities, but at least to a level of human decency. And so, BluGummy is forced to give Seven Seas 3 out of 8 Blu Gummies. read more

First time coming here and will definitely be back again soon. I got their ice chai latte which was quite refreshing and their blueberry muffin which was packed with large juicy blueberries. Friendly staff and clean interior. Like the mural that they have in the wall as well. Definitely one of the cutest cozy coffee shop in Aliso Viejo! read more

2/5 stars. Why? Inconsistent with their flavored drinks. Examples. Ordered cherry bomb. Loved it. Went back a few weeks later, could not taste cherry at all. Zero. They redid it and it was better but still not up to par like my first experience. Today, 12/26/25, I ordered one of the seasonal items. Mulled Cranberry..... Supposed to have cranberry, orange citrus, and spices. What did the drink taste like? Ginger and Rosemary. Complained and asked for a redo. The redo came in. Was exactly the same. Zero cranberry, zero orange citrus. All ginger and rosemary. That is not what I ordered. Clearly something is wrong here at this location and I will go elsewhere for my coffee drinks. read more

Really disappointed. We were looking forward to trying Seven Seas, placed our first order through the app. I made a mistake and didn't see there's a section for "drink temperature" but had requested light ice. When we picked up the drinks and notified the barista that one was supposed to be iced, she said "your order says both hot and easy ice so we just picked one". When we asked her to remake it she said "do you really need it remade?" In the process of her remaking our drink, a couple came in behind us and had the same exact issue (and were treated the same as we were). Such a bummer, as the coffee itself was great. Too expensive to have such poor customer service; try High Tide instead. read more

10 outta 10 always... Coffee, food, cold box, shop, staff... All great. Thanks guys! Love this spot.

Cute little coffee shop hidden in a residential area with some shops underneath. Staff was very friendly and offered suggestions on what to order I tried the cherry bomb iced latte with oat milk and enjoyed it. The flavors were well balanced and coffee was smooth. We also got a jalapeño cheese bagel and it was delicious! Right level of crispy but soft and light. I was not expecting it to be so good! It seems they are dog friendly and have some seating outside and a couple small tables inside. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area- it's easily walkable from the several hotel/resorts nearby read more

Cherry bomb latte: yummm reminds me a lot of cherry cordials but without the sickeningly sweetness of them. Cherry taste packs a punch over the chocolate flavoring. Pour over (Peru): smooooth with a subtle fruity finish. The wood fired rosemary sea salt bagel is tasty and scrumptiously crispy. Chill and friendly staff. Mainly a to-go spot with a very small outdoor seating area. read more

Been coming here for a few years and their coffee is great, but it's not always consistent. So unfortunately that's disappointing, but we love that they claim to be organic and their syrups are said to be house made. Customer service is terrible, it's really too bad.They used to employ nice, happy people, but all the employees now seem like they either hate their job or that they're hung over. Employees rarely smile, and rarely say thank you or ask you how you are. It's too bad because this coffee house could really shine if they had better management and trained employees on customer service etiquette. Hoping the owners/management make some much needed changes soon! read more

Cherry bomb was a huge disappointment. Terrible taste... the worst coffee i ever had recently. Also they don't even have a bathroom. Never seen a coffee shop that doesn't have a toilet. I guess it is only for the locals there... Anyhow, Never coming back here again read more

I used to come here at least twice a week for coffee, however I stopped going because I thought the customer service was not so great. I felt like a bother coming in and ordering (my order is extremely simple). The staff members are very cold and unwelcoming. They don't even say hi most of the time, and since the space is so small, it just feels so awkward. It's a bummer because I really do enjoy their coffee and matcha. I came in the other week to give it another shot and I was met with the same unwelcoming behavior that had stopped me from coming back in the past. It really doesn't take much to smile or ask someone how they are, especially when you end the transaction asking for a tip. It seems as though I'm not the only one who has experienced this based on reading other reviews. This place has so much potential to be amazing! The vibe of their brand is awesome and they've got yummy coffee-- their customer service just needs some serious work. read more

It's ok, nothing special, coffee is weak. Small sitting area inside and outside. Service was just ok. $8 for a latte.

I'll admit, I'm a bit of a coffee snob. And this place is amazing!! The coffee and espresso is very smooth, flavorful. Reminded me of one of the best coffees I've tasted in Guatemala. I wouldn't be surprised if the beans are from there. I loved it so much , I went back the second day and bought a bag of coffee to take back home with me. This is a hidden gem for sure. If you're a coffee lover, you will not be disappointed. Next time I'm in town, this will be my daily stop for coffee. The coffee shop is small but charming and their logo and swag is very cute as well. read more

This little coffee shop is excellent! The coffee is delicious. The only downside is space: not somewhere I'd want to sit and have a coffee with a friend which is a huge bummer because I would love to support this little gem a lot more often.

Bad customer service can really ruin your experience because do I really want to pay $8 for a side of attitude? read more
