High Tide Coffee Laguna Niguel
27271 La Paz Rd Unit A, San Clemente, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked along the Orange County coast, this welcoming spot has mastered the art of making everyone feel at home, whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in for hours. Their baristas craft both traditional and wildly creative seasonal drinks—think orange blossom lattes with jasmine notes and perfectly executed cappuccinos—paired with pastries that deserve their own devoted following. The combination of friendly service, thoughtfully curated music, and a genuinely comfortable vibe makes it the kind of place locals keep returning to, month after month.”

I wish I could give a better review as I support small business but this is a review of my first time visit. The place is welcoming and inviting, great for both kids and adults. I ordered a latte, extra hot, and it was barely warm. I wish baristas would use a temp device to ensure it’s extra hot. It’s like they are guessing. Probably won’t visit again since I don’t live in area. Convenient location.
Very friendly and quick service! Great vibes. Clean place, available restroom. The oat milk cappuccino was perfect 👌🏼 but the almond croissant was AMAZING!
I don't even know where to begin with this review. I came to High Tide for the first time just over a year ago and I've never felt so comfortable in my own skin at a coffee shop here in the OC. The drinks are incredible and I often have a hard time choosing which one to order. Their food is unique and feels so hand crafted each time. Even when they are riding the rush time wave, they make an effort to look you in the eye. This is a great spot to get some work done, catch up with a friend, or enjoy a special coffee date. We see how hard the owners work to make this place unique and we appreciate it everytime we come here. My husband's favorite is the seasonal "vacationer" espresso with the sweet, creamy coconut cream top. The matcha literally puts a smile on my face. Definitely go out of your way to come here!!
i feel like i have been searching for this latt e my whole life. the seasonal orange blossom latte was EVERYTHING!! its got a strong jasmine taste and every sip was heaven. topped with a sea salt cold foam, a gal really can’t ask for more. the atmosphere is really comforting, i just sat at the bar doing work for a few hours. the staff are extremely kind and happy all around. i hope to return soon!
This is my absolute FAVORITE coffee shop. All the baristas are awesome! So friendly and kind. The music is always on point. Their drink choices are delicious with monthly flavors make it exciting every time I come in. They sell art and goodies from local artists which is amazing. They also have a cork-board of drinks people have pre-purchased that you can cash in when in need which is truly amazing way to give back to the community. I wish they had a community wall for local events. They have removed many of their vegan food and pastry options over the last year so that’s why I rated food a 4. I come to this coffee shop once a week and absolutely love the vibes all around. It’s a great place for a date or to sit and work. My one complaint is one of the pinball machines is really loud and I can’t hang out in there while someone is playing it.
