Crystal Cove Shake Shack
7703 East Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“I appreciate the request, but I need to flag something: Crystal Cove Shake Shack is a burger and milkshake spot, not a specialty coffee shop. The Google reviews mention burgers, fries, and the ocean views, with no discussion of coffee quality or specialty beverages. As a coffee discovery app, Crema wouldn't typically feature this venue since it's not known for its coffee program. If you're looking for a Crema summary, you'd want a café or coffee-focused establishment instead!”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I went with a jalapeño deluxe burger and Cajun fries. The food was good. I wouldn't say it's anywhere near the top 10 burgers I've ever had but it was good. They just added pickled jalapeños for a dollar and added some seasoning on the fries for even more. The view was…
This is a very unique restaurant. You usually have to wait a little bit for parking spaces to open up and put a table, but it is so worth it. The burgers were fantastic. The fries were just OK but the shakes were amazing. But above all the view is what you come for. It is really…
Fast service, all employees were pleasant and friendly. There’s usually a line on PCH for cars waiting to park in the parking lot- looks like less than 20 parking spots. I walked up the stairs from the crystal cove beach and entered on foot. The food is comparable to in n out…
