Kona Loa Coffee

Crema's Take

This San Clemente gem specializes in Hawaiian coffee with a naturally sweet profile and serious caffeine kick, earning consistent praise for both the beans and creative presentations like cold brew topped with ube foam and toasted coconut. The vibe is genuinely chill and welcoming, with staff who clearly care about making customers feel at home, though consistency with espresso preparation and operational details could use some tightening up. If you're after specialty coffee in a laid-back California coastal atmosphere with thoughtful menu options, it's worth the visit—just go in with realistic expectations about the execution.

The service and atmosphere are amazing. The coffee was alright. My hot maple syrup latte tasted sour. I think it was from the coffee beans not being prepared correctly for espresso.

We Ordered somme food n drinks. About 10 minutes later a guy comes along n starts sweeping the floor. People inside the café started coughing because of the dust arising. The guy still doesn't care n keeps brandishing his broomstick proudly. Bro...... I understand u wanna go home on time but maybe the customers want to enjoy their food in peace n breathe some clean air? I am sure their coffee machines n cooking utensils, lamps n other decorations inside the cafe are all covered with so much dust after years n years of assiduous sanitation activities. Next time plz open a window or something. Where do u think all the dust is gonna go if u dust up the place with all the doors closed? Plz use your head. Pleazzzzzzzzzzzz

Best coffee shop in the Mission Viejo, California. We travel to the area and we found this amazing coffee shop. The coffee here is amazing. There are many different kinds of food options. The staff here is super friendly and they give out great recommendations. It was a bit crowded, but the wait it’s definitely worth it. If you are in the area you should definitely check out this place.
