Crema's Take

Tucked inside a shared workspace in Laguna Beach, this Blue Bottle outpost delivers the company's signature elevated espresso in an unexpectedly intimate setting that's perfect for a quick, quality coffee fix rather than lingering. The calm, modern aesthetic and thoughtfully crafted drinks like their balanced matcha lattes make it worth seeking out, though fair warning—it's more grab-and-go than hang-out territory, and the location means seating is limited. If you're a Blue Bottle devotee or someone who appreciates meticulous coffee craft over cozy cafe vibes, this hidden gem won't disappoint.

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.

I ordered a matcha latte at Blue Bottle Coffee and it was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced—not too bitter or sweet. The café has a calm vibe, great for working or relaxing. A bit pricey, but worth it for the quality.

Blue Bottle at Lido in Newport has long been one of my go-to spots for a coffee that feels both elevated and comforting—right by the water with that signature Blue Bottle vibe: clean, modern, and quietly cool. Their cappuccino and flat white are consistently excellent, with…

My absolute favorite coffee shop. I found them in San Francisco and was thrilled when this one opened in Southern California. I love the coffee so much, I now have the beans delivered to me in Orlando! Whenever I’m in town, I always visit this cafe. The pour over is my favorite…
