Laguna Coffee Company
1050 S Coast Hwy B, Dana Point, CA
Crema's Take
“This cozy Dana Point spot has earned a devoted following for its consistently excellent lattes and cold brew, though regulars note the quality has fluctuated recently. What truly sets Laguna Coffee apart is their commitment to clean ingredients—think organic, locally-sourced pastries made with heritage grains and no seed oils—plus weekend DJ sets that transform the tiny shop into a genuine community gathering place. The staff's genuine warmth and the adorable outdoor seating make it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like visiting friends who happen to pour really good coffee.”

I’m sad to say it but this place has completely gone downhill. This was my favorite coffee shop for YEARS! All my gfs and I have come here for birthdays, meetings, hanging with our kids, and so forth! First, the drink quality started changing: often the coffee tasted burnt or super watery. I started coming less but still wanted to support. Then I noticed a huge change it customer service. The owners who used to seem so sweet and friendly have become short, cold, and sometimes downright rude. I’m not joking when I tell you five different friends in the community have mentioned the same to me. I feel bad for these women because maybe they just chose the wrong business or it’s become too overwhelming but it’s not right to make your customers feel like garbage! This however pales in comparison to the final nail in the coffin issue. Their male barista will long hair was trash talking a customer behind their back, whispering with the other blonde man like high schoolers and laughing that he gave a customer decaf instead of regular as a form of punishment. I can’t support a place with this kind of energy
Loved the chia pudding with strawberries and vanilla protein. If I'm in the area I'd stop for the chia pudding and not the coffee, unfortunately. The girls where incredibly sweet and helpful. It's just unfortunate that not one of us enjoyed our choice of Lattes and tea 😔 Id love to give them a five star for their amazing customer service, but it's a cafe and we weren't able to enjoy our lattes. I travel for amazing coffee shops and I look for balanced lattes. I love their story, that it's women owned and family ran💞 Everyone has their own standards of coffee/lattes, so don't let this review stop you from going.
The cores are great. It is a small little shop but high quality. We had hot and cold lattes, and they were amazing as was the cold brew. They have outside tables as well. Cute and friendly staff.
DJ’s on the weekend, coffee is always good. Lattes are good the specials they have are great, . I go here all the time. The only thing they need is a restroom. 🙂
So adorable, I’m a huge fan! Great coffee, 100% organic bakery with locally grown ingredients, no seed oils, Ancient/heritage grains, pasture raised chicken/eggs + sourdough. & so much more My latte was 10/10! I also tried the Bullet Proof special (espresso, coconut oil, ghee) and it’s a really unique flavor. Definitely different from my usual but I enjoyed it! + the Almond Butter Blondie was delicious. Not to mention how cozy and inviting the atmosphere is. Glad that I grabbed a bag of beans to try at home
