Kuli Coffee
203 Avenida Del Mar, San Clemente, CA
Crema's Take
“Kuli Coffee is a sprawling, light-filled destination in San Clemente where espresso craftsmanship meets genuine hospitality—the knowledgeable staff genuinely cares about your coffee experience, and the open layout with both indoor bar seating and a sun-drenched outdoor patio makes it equally suited for focused work or lingering conversations. The modern, airy aesthetic and classy vibe have earned it a devoted following, though recent cost-cutting moves like switching to paper cups have disappointed longtime regulars who loved the deliberate ritual of porcelain service.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.

The place to have a coffee in San Clemente, it's official. True, there are a few good shops in town, but the layout and ambience in here is fit for a town like San Clemente like no other coffee shop. It's a draw for an older crowd, book lovers and friends getting together. Came…
