Crema's Take
“Rapport Coffee & Roasters is a passion project run by people who genuinely care about every detail, from sourcing thoughtful single-origins like their standout Ethiopia espresso to crafting cappuccinos that locals call the most flavorful in San Clemente. The knowledgeable baristas—Jared and Reese get special mention—excel at both traditional espresso drinks and pour overs, creating a welcoming space where coffee lovers can linger, meet friends, or simply experience third wave coffee done right. Whether you're a thirty-minute drive away or passing through on your way to LA, this spot delivers some of the best coffee in Southern California with genuine warmth.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
