Herst Coffee Roasters
3400 Via Lido, Laguna Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Herst Coffee Roasters roasts their beans in-house in this intimate Laguna Beach spot, earning genuine respect from serious coffee enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. Their Spanish latte—balanced with just the right touch of cinnamon and sweetened condensed milk—is a signature draw, though the cozy, minimal-seating atmosphere seems to matter just as much as the coffee itself. Fair warning: there's no WiFi here, which appears to be intentional, making it a place where you'll actually be present rather than plugged in.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Wifi.

Every time I visit Newport, I make sure to stop by Herst Coffee Roasters. It’s my go-to spot—not just for the coffee but for the cozy atmosphere that makes me want to stay a little longer. Their coffee is bold and strong, just the way I like it. Even though I usually love…
Stopped here to work remotely for the day. The Spanish Oat Latte is heavenly and not too sweet. I also got the Pain au Chocolate which was great as well. One thing to mention is that this cafe does NOT have WiFi. The atmosphere is very relaxed and upscale. Staff are friendly and…
