Crema's Take

“Tucked into Laguna Beach, this plant-draped spot creates an unconventional tropical refuge that stands out against California's typical cafe aesthetic, complete with ample table space and wifi for extended working sessions. Their signature strength lies in creative specialty drinks—think matcha with orange cardamom syrup—alongside thoughtfully executed espresso and pour over coffee, all served in a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels equally suited for serious laptop work or leisurely afternoon lingering. Reviewers consistently praise the atmospheric design and the quality of both traditional and innovative drinks, making it a distinctive destination rather than just another coffee run.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly. Wifi.
