    Banana matcha
    Paloma O.

    First and foremost I have to say I am not usually a burrito girl, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BURRITOS I'VE HAD IN SO SO LONG! The sauce on the side was phenomenal! The place is so cute and there's so much searing for hanging out or doing some work! The girl at the register was super sweet and so very helpful! I gotta visit every time I'm in San Juan!

    Awesome little coffee shop located right in the middle of SC. This place has a nice roast, good pastries and friendly service. Nice little indoor and patio seating areas. Good stop if in south OC.

    Just absolutely the best coffee in San Clemente. I tried them all. Oh? The people: amazing. Workers are awesome. Amazing sense of community in here. Anyone can make good coffee, but Sur makes all who enter feel welcome, valued, and at ease. Sparking up conversations, showing love to people. It was great. Plus, mad zen. Tons of folks working, studying, or just enjoying some community time. Once more, the coffee is superb! The best I had in SC. This is a spot I will be missing big time back home in STL.

    Wow the coffee here is delicious!! I had one of their seasonal specials and it was a peach cobbler latte and it was sooo good!! The people that work there are so kind. Such a nice place to go to in the morning. Yummy chocolate chip cookie as well.

    The best coffee in SC hands down! I've tried them all and this one is worth the bad parking to get to it. The coffee is so much better than anywhere else in SC, there is always a line but it moves like lightening. I love a flat white or Cappuccino, but don't sleep on the cold-brew. And the girls that work here are friendly, pretty and they don't have the lefty barista, I hate men and America vibe you sometimes get. Sur coffee the GOAT of SC coffee houses! PS they started right when COVID hit and served the community and survived! This place is God ordained, go here.

    We were driving through downtown San Clemente and came across this coffee shop. We were there mid-morning on a Friday and I was surprised at how busy it was! The shop is actually quite large despite being narrow, it extends much further back than you'd expect. The girl who took my order was not friendly at all, she approached me without a greeting and just asked what I wanted. I'm used to baristas being more conversational, so this was odd to me. I ordered an iced matcha latte and she told me it comes unsweetened, which I told her was fine. The drink came out quickly and as soon as I tried it, I regretted my decision to not add some sweetener as it was quite bland. I started adding some raw sugar packets and then a different barista saw me and said raw sugar won't blend very well, so she asked if I'd like some simple syrup added to sweeten it instead. I was grateful that this barista was actually friendly and wished she was the one who I got to interact with from the get go! She saved this review from being 3 stars. Once the simple syrup was added, the drink was great. This is a cute coffee shop, love the surf decor and overall vibe of the place. They have several drink options so there's something for everyone, including some alcoholic options. I'd just recommend having a more personable barista being the one taking the orders as that is the way to make the best first impression :)

    What a great little coffee spot! The space is really big! Large open seating in the front, a couple of small tables on the sidewalk, small tables along the wall inside, a large table in then back, AND a back deck with seats and counter. The staff is really friendly! We just arrived to town and needed a caffeine fix. Two delicious iced lattes! The roast their own beans and I bought the Gaviota for the next morning. What a delicious brew! We sat out in front to people watch. Of course, Cako received most of the attention. I like the fact that they close later on the weekends. The location is great! Cako Approves!

    Sur is a busy little coffee shop in the downtown area of San Clemente. The coffee menu is simple, the syrups are house made and the baked goods are baked in house. The story of the shop is inspiring, as they partner with growers all over the world and donate back. Good space to hang out, do a little work. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pet friendly. Street parking. Good service. Casual vibes. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Raspberry Basil Olive Oil Cake

    Very cute spot. Good amount of seating and a few outlets so you can post up and work. I couldnt decide between the olive oil cake and the cinnamon roll, so I got both. They were both delicious! The raspberry basil was a special flavor offered for the day. The customer service service was great. They were very friendly! New favorite coffee shop whenever I am in town or passing through :)

    Such an amazing place to enjoy a weekend coffee. The energy was high, everyone was mingling and enjoying live music. While the line was a bit long, the service was still excellent and quick.

    One of the worst coffee shop experiences I've had :( My boyfriend and I were in the area to do some shopping on a Saturday morning and the employees raved about this place! When we got there we found parking out in the back. There was no wait to order when we got there but a lot of people seated. The employees weren't unfriendly, but they weren't very welcoming. We ordered an iced vanilla latte and iced matcha. They called my name for the matcha first and as I tried to grab it the employee said it actually wasn't for Alyssa so I went back to sit down. They called my name for the latte and I went to get it and they said the same thing, not for me. I said are you sure? And then a second employee came up and said these are definitely for you, and the two employees started arguing about the system (they were looking at an order screen). I took the order and left. We tried our drinks in the car and they were not good at all. The matcha tasted like it had rotten coconut milk in it (which is weird because we didn't order coconut milk) and the latte was too sour for my liking. I would not recommend this place!

    The store was a little stuffy when I walked in, there's plenty of seating down the beautifully designed cafe. There are two entrances so make your way to the cashier as you step in to see their baked goods and order. The espresso that I got was well rounded and I would definitely make a stop on the way again as it is pretty close to the freeway.

    Sur coffee is one of the best coffee shops in San Clemente! The service is excellent and fast and the vibe is perfect for a delicious breakfast and coffee spot. It is a dog friendly chill vibe and a lot of people were there by 9am. We had the cranberry scone and their famous cinnamon roll, both delicious! My husband had the drip coffee (Guatemalan) and it was really good. I had an iced dirty chai that hit the spot and wasn't too spice forward (which I prefer). Overall, we'll be back for sure!

    Love the matcha!!! Do you guys sell it at the store?

    They do.

    Is the coffee organic or clean?

    We work directly with coffee farmers that engage in organic farming processes, however, our current offerings are not 'certified' organic.

    Is there somewhere to seat? Or is it more like a grab and go?

    Yes, there are plenty of seats inside as well as a patio in the back

    I had a great experience at Mameya Coffee Roasters thanks to the owner, Dice…read more I originally placed the wrong order, but instead of just fixing it, Dice personally took the time to replace it tailored to my preferences--no extra charge. That kind of customer service is rare today. What stood out even more was the conversation about coffee roasting, acidity levels, and how different roasts can affect digestion. I've had issues in the past where coffee bothered my stomach, so I stop drinking it altogether, but Dice actually helped me understand the differences and guided me toward personalized better choices. Overall, it was not just a coffee purchase, but an educational and genuinely thoughtful experience. Highly recommend this place if you care about quality coffee and people who actually know their craft. Thank you Mr Dice!

One of the most…read moreimportant things I've learned is that procuring the best beans is more than half the battle. While researching roasters in the south OC area, I found Mameya in Laguna Niguel. I instantly feel in love with their concept of "blending Japanese tradition and innovation to create a coffee experience that transcends the ordinary." They specialize in offering beans from all over the world and roast them to your personal preference. Being able to pick your beans and roast level is simply amazing. This allows the fresh taste and small batches for experimenting. The quality is so remarkable and their online ordering system is great for timing each new batch for ease of pickup. If you are looking for a new coffee experience that specializes in quality coffee for rememberable consumption, Mameya has you covered!

    After spending time at Aliso Beach Park, my mom and I walked about half a mile to Rapport Coffee…read moreRoasters so we could grab drinks and bring them back to the beach to enjoy by the water. Totally worth the walk. The shop is simple and minimalistic inside, with a clean layout and a plant right in the center that gives the space a calm, relaxed vibe. Nothing flashy, just thoughtfully designed and comfortable. I ordered the iced Spanish latte and my mom got the iced chai. Both had an excellent balance of sweetness and coffee or tea flavor. Smooth, refreshing, and perfect for sipping while sitting on the sand. The workers were friendly and easy to order from, which made the experience even better. One thing that stood out to us was their logo, two hands shaped like coming together. In sign language, that sign means "connect," so as Deaf individuals, we immediately noticed it and wondered about the meaning behind it. It made the name "Rapport" feel even more intentional. Great drinks, welcoming service, and a perfect stop before heading back to the beach. We'd definitely do that walk again.

Interior is minimalist and clean. Baristas were all very nice. The cold brew coffee was one of the best I've had -- smooth, but robust, with a complex taste. AND it was under $5, which is a steal! I read that they roast coffees on site and I wouldn't doubt it! Unfortunately, while bean coffee was $23 for 200g, which is 7oz! My local roaster (Kean) would have the same price for 12oz. In their defense, they did have a massive bag that was $25. They had a bunch of great latte options, an espresso tonic, and tea options. They have pastries that looked delicious too. A great coffee and highly worth a visit!
