Incredible cold brew!…read more I got mine with a light splash of half and half + simple syrup and it was divine. The space was also really open with nice indoor/outdoor seating, and the service was nice and intentional. Very pleased with my visit:)

Sorry to write this review but also I want to be honest…read more Cappuccino was watery and flavorless. Foam was done well. No coffee flavor at all, no depth of anything. Just watery flavorless "coffee" water. Coffee cups for stay are really dumb. No handle. So you have to grab them around the cup which was way to hot to handle. Not the best decision for cups. Don't try to be different, just get good italian made cappuccino cups. Not sure how this place has the reviews it has but my wife agreed that it was awful. Not a fan and likely would not come back. It just solidifies my theory that most coffee places have no idea how to roast and pull coffee. This is why I stay home and use my Illy classico coffee and gaggia machine instead when home but I was not home this time. Snotty? Yes but why go through life drinking crap coffee and paying for it.

Stopped by Jedidiah Coffee with my husband and we tried a couple of their drinks. He got the…read moreespresso tonic, which was really nice and refreshing--especially for summer. The espresso with the bubbly tonic made it feel light and crisp. I got the iced saffron latte and absolutely loved it. The saffron gives it this warm, slightly floral flavor without being overpowering, and I really liked it over ice. It was smooth, refreshing, and just different enough from your usual iced latte. I'd definitely get it again.

I feel like I could just copy and paste this for most coffee shop reviews now - "Fine, but…read moreexpensive..." I have to be honest, I was not impressed with this latte, and I am wondering why everybody raves about it. I got a vanilla latte and added vanilla cold foam as a little treat and somehow it still had a little to no flavor? I think it was $18 or $19 for 2 drinks, that's just crazy to me and it's my own fault, that should have been a warning, but they had a Ube cruffin (and my husband loves ube) and I ordered one without asking the price and imagine my surprise when it was $7! A little more than that I think actually. I get it - it's a pricey area, they're a block from oven views, it's Laguna, I'm too broke to live and exist there but good Lord. All of that aside, it is a very cute shop, very cute merch, and very good vibes with lots of sitting areas. They even had a cute little corner with toys for kids to play with, which I love!

They…read morehave so many varieties of beans to choose from and they can roast it to any level you want. The workers here are kind, just like one would expect from a traditional Japanese coffee shop. I also enjoy having their pour overs of the day while I wait for my coffee beans. Okayama Kobo Bakery is just a few doors down, so this is the perfect place to get good coffee and bread at the same time!

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. They are getting in an Ethiopian variety in a few days which sounds like it's going to be really good. I love the minimalist sharp clean Vibe and the coffee and service was fantastic. We tried a cortado and a cold brew their cold brew is a true 24-hour slow drip. I wish I had taken a picture of the unique looking contraption they use to make their cold Brew. We will be back and we are excited to visit their new Costa Mesa, CA location. They also have a location in Marin County, N California.

Surprisingly, the coffee here is pretty good and at reasonable prices! I got the Bananas Foster…read moreLatte and it was pretty solid. Strong espresso flavor mixed with a satisfying banana flavor. Flavorful, but not too sugary which I liked. A great pick me up for the day. I also tried my friend's Guava Basil Matcha Latte and it was solid as well. Not the best matcha I've had, but the guava and basil flavors were unique. These drinks were around $6 with regular whole milk which was a good price! The interior is clean and nice. I saw one outlet, but I'm unsure if they have wifi. For parking, there's spots in the nearby Pavilions parking lot or around it. Overall, a solid spot for coffee drinks in the area.

We stayed nearby for a couple of nights and I had coffee here both mornings. The first morning was…read morebecause it was nearby and the second was because the coffee was really good... AND it was nearby. I had a morning glory muffin both mornings alongside my drip coffee of the day. The people at the counter were different each morning, but both times they greeted everyone and smiled a lot, though not in a creepy way. The place is pretty spacious and clean and it is not noisy like some places -- though, at 6-7am, I guess a lot of people are still waking up! :D They seem to get a lot of local traffic, which is a good sign. My wife took some good photos of the place while I mostly sat and enjoyed my coffee. The location is right near the Mountain Road beach access stairs and I took my coffee on a walk down to the water -- it was high tide, so the ocean was all the way up to the bottom of the steps, but there was a nice view and the ocean spray in the morning was refreshing.

Sunday morning at 10. Staff was nice. Coffee was good but I don't recommend the food…read more It wasn't busy. 3 gals up at counter. 1 guy in back preparing the food alone. 4 breakfast items ordered, 1 order after another & came out at very different times. 2 ordered breakfast burritos & one came out 15 min later. He did keep us updated on status of food & apologized for delay. The poor guy needed some help which he didn't get from front staff. And they were not busy, saw them talking to each other while he was trying hard to keep up. I also had to go to the counter & tell them they were out of paper towels in bathroom. My decaf Americano was wonderful. The breakfast bowl was light on the greens, very heavy on avocado mash. Just ok but only $8. Burritos were not very large but tastes ok when they arrived.

It's a different kind of coffee that I don't usually order but I was curious and I had to try it. I love Rose tea or coffee but I wasn't sure about the cardamom mixed with rose. Peculiar taste and not your ordinary coffee. I also ordered the salmon lox toast with capers on top. I've been so excited to try salmon lox again since I haven't eaten it in a while. It's very delicious and what a great breakfast! I will definitely order it again if I'm in the area. Ambiance is cute, clean and nice. They have big windows that shows what a beautiful day it is outside. Everyone is nice and was even giving compliments to each other.

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.

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

Overall the experience was okay, but it didn't quite blow us away. The service felt pretty rushed…read morethey 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.

Service: 5/5 On a…read moretwo-day trip to Laguna Beach, this was my favorite coffee shop out of the three I went to. The coffee, the service, and the vibes were excellent. The first day, I was served by the owner, who was kind and made excellent coffee. The second day, one of her employees served me, with her same kindness and enthusiasm. What I appreciated the most about both experiences was the employees' ability to explain the flavor profile on the coffees and ask whether it was made to my liking after it was served. That is above and beyond service that you are not going to get anywhere else. I will return when I'm back in Laguna Beach!

Came to try this spot after reading the reviews. My expectations were high for the matchas here,…read moreespecially the banana matcha. I stopped by Labor Day morning around 9am (9/7), it looked pretty empty, just two parties ahead of me waiting for their drinks. The coffee shop was quaint and there was ample street parking today which was cool. I ordered the banana matcha with oat milk and a cinnamon roll. I sat at the bar stool area while waiting for my order. The wait time for it was kind of wild. I didn't get my drink and pastry until 45 min after ordering. The first sips of the banana matcha were super underwhelming and the matcha itself felt super grainy like it wasn't whisked enough. Small pieces of banana and those stringy parts of the banana were in the drink and honestly was pretty unpleasant. Additionally, the cinnamon roll icing to dough ratio was really sad and lacked flavor. The shape however, was nice but that's about it. I'm glad I tried this spot, but I will not be returning. It's simply overpriced and mediocre.
