Crema's Take
“Golden Lantern Coffee Roasters is where serious coffee meets genuine hospitality, with owner Matt and his team crafting exceptionally roasted beans into thoughtfully prepared drinks like their beloved Mexican Mocha and seasonal "Holiday in a Cup." Their cozy, comfortable space invites you to linger over pour overs and hand-crafted espresso drinks while the friendly staff—who actually know their craft—make you feel like a regular from your first visit. This is the kind of neighborhood spot in Laguna Niguel where the coffee quality matches the warm, approachable vibe.”

Amazing coffee! Their hand crafted drinks have so much flavor and are very good. Staff is very friendly and seating area is very comfortable! Highly recommended.
AMAZING COFFEE! Wonderful customer services and staff, great vibes, nice places to sit but the coffee is really the best. I had the ginger snap latte and husband had the pour over. So hard to find good quality but this place tops the charts!!
I tried the Mexican Mocha at Golden Lantern Coffee Roasters and it was delicious. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right hint of spice. Great service and cozy atmosphere too. Highly recommend!
Matt knows coffee. His beans are expertly roasted and the drinks are prepared with care. He's an affable proprietor and is great to talk shop with if you get the chance. Some of the best coffee in South Orange County.
Matt and his team deliver some of the best coffee in South Orange County. Don’t miss the "Holiday in a Cup" — it lives up to the hype. Their beans are exceptional; grab a couple of packs to discover your favorite. As a roasters club, they now offer Membership Cards—be sure to ask about one!
