Rose Cafe & Donuts has probably got the best breakfast sandwiches in San Clemente, although, I have to admit, this was really the first time I had ever "checked out" San Clemente longer than a pit stop for gas. As my mom and I were "passing through" taking this l-o-n-g-e-r rest stop from driving on the 5 (we were on our way to San Diego), we decided to get something more substantial to eat. Anyway, you have to go here. Rose Cafe's food seemed quite popular, considering there was a constant stream of customers ordering, and everyone noticeably ordered something different. I really liked the outdoor tables and chairs, located right outside the eatery. It definitely allowed us to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, even though you can't see the water. All in all, Rose Cafe rocks. We were glad to have found this cute place, tucked into a shopping center, no less. Overall, the food was awesome, and the location was super-convenient.

I was a little disappointed I couldn't get a hot latte (since it was a chilly day), but I got an iced chai latte and it was really good, pretty sweet but a nice treat. I also got a BLT on toasted sourdough. My only feedback was the bread was way too buttery...I'd prefer it on the dryer side. The fries are delicious, but I was missing the extra seasoning! Overall Rose's has been a favorite cafe for many years now and glad to see not much has changed!

From fly fishing and flannel to delectably delicious donuts, these two guys have us hooked. Why? And donuts ?? Go. When you go, you'll know. When I see a crowd and a line, I want to be queued in! Especially when it's an eatery that's no more than maybe 20 feet across. Like a foodie lemming, dive in to these small batch, freshly-made gems that are non-pariel in the donut industry. Go.

We stopped by on a Friday morning to grab a few donuts, and the experience was great from the start. The workers were fun, energetic, and super helpful. Nice clean and modern shop with a wall of donuts We couldn't decide what to order, but another customer told us we *had* to try the apple fritter and wow, they were right. That apple fritter was SO good, fresh, warm, perfectly soft, and not overly sweet. Honestly, perfection. We grabbed a few other donuts too, and while most were great, one tasted like it may have been sitting out a bit longer and wasn't nearly as good. So my advice: go early and get them fresh because that's when these donuts really shine. If you're in the area and craving fresh donuts, definitely check them out!

EVERYTHING BAGEL W/ CREAM CHEESE (5 star) Not a revolutionary menu item, but excellent none the less. The cream cheese is whipped so it's easy to eat and they spread it generously.

A little more pricey than I'm used to, $1.10 for normal sized donuts, even glazed. But worth it! Will definitely be back if I'm in San Clemente. They also have coffee (lattes) smoothies and tea (even boba) options which is nice to only make one stop in the morning.

First time here, wanted to try a local business. I asked for a bacon and egg bagel with no cheese,…read morelow and behold there is cheese on it. No big deal though, this happens all the time so I just went inside and told them. Instead of admitting their mistake, the lady said that I didn't ask for no cheese and she remembered everything. Could not admit her fault at all and called me a liar, so I asked for a refund. Took them 10 minutes to find it and I just walked out without getting one. Moral of the story: don't come here, the service is terrible and they microwave their bacon. Will never be back.

Niguel Bakery & Donuts isn't just a place we eat -- it's where our kids grew up…read more Let me get the obvious out of the way first: yes, the donuts are legit. Our go-to favorites are the chocolate cronut (dangerous), the glazed old fashioned, and their cake donuts -- the kind that remind you why donuts were invented in the first place. But here's what most people don't realize... The deli is a hidden gem. My wife's favorite is their American Mexi-Cal style breakfast burrito -- and for good reason. Huge, insanely good value, big crispy buttery potatoes, soft chewy tortillas, and a portion size that laughs at inflation. I recently had their Boar's Head deli-sliced ham and cheese on sourdough with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, and I genuinely don't have the vocabulary to describe how soft and perfect that sandwich was. It's not "good for a donut shop." It's just really good. But honestly? The food is only part of why this place matters to us. Our kids practically grew up here. Dave and Dani have known our family since before our kids were even born. They've seen both of our children grow -- literally from in the womb, to infants, to toddlers, and now our kids are 2 and 7 years old. We'll be posting photos through the years because... yeah, this place is part of our family history. That's not something you can fake. This is one of those rare neighborhood spots where you sit for hours in the morning, coffee in hand, talking with locals, laughing, and catching up. It's where the community actually feels like a community. The owners, Dave and Dani, are some of the kindest, most genuine people you'll ever meet. Dave is basically a big kid himself (especially when it comes to cars) and somehow always finds ways to surprise my kids with random little toys -- the kind of moments kids remember forever. I grew up in a small town in Virginia, out of my own mom's deli and convenience store -- where locals gathered over coffee, the Washington Post (and yes... cigarettes back then ). Living on the West Coast without family nearby, Niguel Bakery & Donuts gives me that same feeling of home. This is a place where kids can still feel safe like the old days -- riding bikes with friends, scraping together change for a snack... and if they're a little short and have been on their best behavior, Dave and Dani might just take care of them anyway. That kind of generosity can't be taught -- it's who they are. It's an East Coast bodega-style bakery/deli, right here in Laguna Niguel, and they don't just talk about community -- they show it through the countless non-profit events, food donations, and local causes they support. If you're looking for more than just donuts -- if you want great food, real people, and a place that feels like home -- this is it. We'll be here tomorrow morning. And the next day. And probably for years to come.

The night before my dissertation defense, I ordered a 96 oz coffee (joe-to-go) to go with a note saying I was defending my PhD (preemptively apologizing if I looked like a frazzled raccoon and worried anyone on accident while picking up). When I walked in at 7:45 AM (15 min earlier than my pick up time, bc anxiety), the staff immediately complimented my defense outfit -- instant confidence boost -- and when I said I was the person picking up "lots of coffee," they led me to the coffee, already packed and ready :') They all wished me good luck with the warmest, most dazzling smiles. They even included a note that said, "You got this~!" which I kept in front of me during my defense. (see photo) And I passed!!! Also, they gave me half-and-half and oat milk?? In this economy?? Oat milk is basically liquid gold. I felt so loved. So caffeinated. So non-dairy option supported. Usually after defenses, there is leftover coffee that people are trying to give away. But me and High Tide Coffee? No sir. No leftovers. One of my committee members had about 4-5 cups, and I am not exaggerating., (Even in a field that basically runs on coffee, academics are running on caffeine.... and wine, so a room of 12 people, not all drinking coffee, and still finishing 96 oz of coffee is a record.) Thank you, High Tide, for the excellent coffee, the kindness, the emotional support, and the very necessary academic bean juice. I am officially glad I chose you to help caffeinate the most important morning of my PhD. and thank you again for supporting me emotionally and caffeine-induced confidence :)

Super cute coffee shop that's not too far from Doheny State Beach but pretty okay matcha…read more My cousins and I stopped by here while we were camping in Doheny. The vibes were nice, very coastal aesthetic with a decent amount of seating. Pretty diverse menu, prices were that of an indie coffee shop. Cashier was so kind and patient even though I was so indecisive, so I definitely appreciate that! What I ordered: -Lavender Honey Matcha: I got this with oat milk and it tasted like water with sweet lavender flavoring, couldn't really taste the matcha. 2/5 My cousins and I weren't very impressed by the drinks here. We all got matcha so I'm thinking maybe their coffee is better because the place was busy. I probs wouldn't come back, and if I did I'd give the coffee a chance.
