High Ground Coffee House

Very cozy and interesting coffee shop. They have board games, sketchbooks to flip through (reading other people’s drawings was really fun), and even a collection of postcards that customers have mailed to them over the years. It feels like a sweet community spot with more than 10 years of history. The coffee was okay — pretty standard. Unfortunately, toward the end of our visit the atmosphere became a bit uncomfortable due to a loud humming noise, likely from a fridge or machine, which gave us a headache and made us leave early. I’d still come back for a quick visit, especially for the charm and character of the place.

I’m surprised nobody talks about the quality of the coffee here. Of course the atmosphere feels like home and a place you can just exist at for a few hours, of course the location is great, of course the staff is friendly. That’s obvious, but the coffee is top tier. Way better than it has a right to be considering how damned honey it is. And they don’t even brag about it. Here they are this perfect little coffee shop quietly serving the best iced Spanish latte in Orange County and I’ve tried them all. Unfortunately they’re slightly out of my way and I work nights so I don’t get them often and I don’t have a picture, but this is the coffee I tell stories about, the coffee that I literally write home about, the coffee that I dream of when I choke down another bitter espresso from Starbucks or another sugary barely coffee from Dutch. Miss you guys and hopefully I’ll see you soon.

Hands down some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. 11 out of 10!!! The staff is incredibly kind and attentive. I worked from the cafe for hours and felt completely relaxed the entire time. Time flew by. Highly recommend this coffee spot!

A cozy shop with a farm house style design. Plenty of seating for those wanting to sot and enjoy their cup of coffee. The staff is nice and fast with their service. I ordered the Eggnog latte, which was not too sweet, and flavorful. I also got the Coffee Cake donut that was warmed up and tasted pretty good.

Amazing peeps! I absolutely love Sophia and Ella, even though Sophia wants to metaphorically throw hands because she’s team Edward and not Jacob..ITS FINE THOUGH. Sophia made me an absolutely scrumptious pumpkin purée latte. And Ella was so sweet and patient with me when I was ordering. I always love coming into this cafe, but these girls made my day!
