Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Laguna Beach, this espresso-focused gem wins hearts with genuinely knowledgeable staff who excel at both precision pour overs and creative seasonal drinks like their standout Habibi latte with orange blossom and cardamom. Whether you're ordering an impeccably crafted black coffee or lingering over a specialty drink, the welcoming atmosphere and willingness to offer samples make this feel like the kind of place where the baristas actually care about your coffee experience.”

Jessie was so awesome! They offered us a decaf pour over sample. One of the best ones I'd ever had. Also got a decaf iced Americano and it was so good. I feel like ordering black decaf coffee is a hit or miss at some places but this decaf espresso was perfectly dialed and the pourover perfectly extracted. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area!
HIDDEN GEM! Love this place. I walked in for the first time after seeing their name on the marquee of the Rivian. I went in and ordered a Habibi latte. It was delicious way better than I expected. I also ordered the chocolate chip cookie. One of the tastiest cookies I had. The manager took my order. Christina was very nice and told me about all the events around the area, including that Rivian has a bunch of events for kids and adults. I hope more people come to this coffee shop. It was really good and the coffee was excellent. 10/10
Really liked the habibi latte I got with orange blossom, cardamom, clove, and vanilla syrup. Friendly service as well!

Small gem in Laguna Beach. If you like high quality coffee, come here for a drink! Great selection of the classics with seasonal offerings as well. I usually go for a cappuccino but when I saw the raspberry mocha (made with house made raspberry sauce), I had to try it. I had it iced and my husband had it hot- both amazing. The baristas were super friendly and the place was bustling! Some indoor seating available and more space outside on the patio
