Top 5 Cafes in California

3211 Business Park Dr #3b, Vista, CA 92081, United States

“Food and drink alone are worth stopping by. I enjoyed the cat lounge- lots of sweet kitties! My favorite part is that the environment is focused on cat happiness. Noise level is low, no grabbing or picking up or chasing the kitties. The cats can leave the lounge anytime to a separate space. They have plenty of high spots to get to and so many comfy beds and toys and hiding places. Highly recommend 😊”

1030 Washington St, San Francisco, CA 94108, United States

“Wow, a line at 8am on a weekday! They allow a few customers in at a time, but the line moves quickly. Note they only have dairy and oat milk as options. The special vanilla rosemary latte was very good and recommend! There isn’t anywhere to sit inside, but they have a patio outside to enjoy your coffee.”

7626 E Chapman Ave d, Orange, CA 92869, United States

“I love this place. The coffee and baked goods are excellent. The staff is kind, professional and efficient. The environment is peaceful, clean and cozy. Thank God the music is mello - I can relax and not feel distracted by overly loud or a jarring choice of tunes. Highly recommend!”

5702 Riverside Dr, Chino, CA 91710, United States

“First time customer and couldn’t be happier. Super friendly staff, atmosphere is amazing, donut selection is out of this world. Met Danny the owner. Super nice down to earth guy. Much respect to him. Guys the donuts are super delicious. …”

12511 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90066, United States

“This is my girlfriend favorite coffee place in LA, I’m from Italy and I was visiting her and she wanted to let me try it as well. I have to admit that this place is great and coffee very very good!l and their croissants as well! Vibes are great and the atmosphere as well, nice interiors and wide backyard next to the big parking lot where people can work and enjoy a chat under a tent. I’m looking forward to go back there when I’ll be in LA again!”

8766 Holloway Dr, West Hollywood, CA 90069, United States

”By far the best coffee in town (or anywhere really ) and this is because the special coffee filtration system they have… a Japanese contraption I think…. The owner is super friendly and the to-go staff is also v nice. Other than coffee selection, try the waffles, protein bowl and rest of the breakfast menu is pretty good as well!”

327 Lincoln St, Roseville, CA 95678, United States

”Had the place a couple of times and it's honestly my favorite coffee spot, coffee tastes great and the atmosphere is nice. Service has always been great and quick. Can definitely recommend.”

260 Allen Ave, Pasadena, CA 91107, United States

”A pretty extensive coffee selection with a pretty great community vibe. The chairs weren’t super comfortable and they don’t provide Wi-Fi. So this is more of a pick up and go coffee place rather than a sit down and stay a while. Overall not bad but I can’t say I’ll be back anytime soon.”

515 N Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262, United States

”Upon arriving in Palm Springs, the first thing to do is to visit this coffee shop and buy a popular organic Belgian chocolate cold brew coffee. After getting the coffee, we walked to the beautiful courtyard at the back of the shop, hoping to find a spot to sit and slowly enjoy the surroundings. Unfortunately, all the shaded seats were taken, so we had to return to our car to enjoy the coffee. The first sip of that ice-cold, rich chocolate and coffee combination was unforgettable, achieving the perfect balance between sweetness and ice. Plus, the price was very reasonable. If you come to Palm Springs, be sure to try this refreshing cold brew coffee. Updated: Today, we went to another branch, and we ordered organic bold hot coffee and iced organic strawberry tea, along with a chocolate croissant. The coffee was very flavorful, and the iced tea was delicious. However, the croissant was quite dry and lacked layers of flavor. I do not recommend it.”

672 Stanyan St, San Francisco, CA 94117, United States

”What a wonderful place to chill with a cup of fresh roasted coffee. Coffee is great, people are nice and friendly. Clean bathroom too. Live is good.”

6951 Flight Rd, Riverside, CA 92504, United States

”Had to wait an hour! But so windy they could not serve outside, so they moved tables and chairs inside! Lines moved faster. Food took awhile very busy, taste was great. So much we both took home some. Usually planes would be taking off, but every Sunday they have a balloon crafter there to make time go by!”

351 Main St, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States

”I was just killing time before my flight and decided to try this neat little cafe off Main Street to have a coffee and a bite for breakfast. The iced coffee was very good. I also liked they did have sugar free syrup options available. The jalapeño cheese bagel was also delicious and the cheese very crispy with some nice heat from the jalapeño. Definitely would love to have another one! Unfortunately….the imperial breakfast was the reason why I had to knock a star. Simply, it took an extremely long time. My wife had finished her meal and it was approaching nearly 20-30 mins and it was not really busy when I ordered. Unfortunately, the hash browns still arrived undercooked somehow and were not crispy at all and not a very pleasant component to eat. That was the only negative, just the time and the undercooked hash browns. Simply put if I was in the area again, I’d certainly stop by again and have no issues recommending blue butterfly!”

370 4th St, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States

”This was a very easy place to go for tea. My wife and I walked in, saw a selection of empty seats, though there were patrons scattered about as well. The staff was kind, the food looked good, and the prices were normal. The place seems like it could feel cramped if they're at full capacity, but it seems like being right across from the Whole Foods that overcrowding isn't exactly an issue, they just attract as many people as they can comfortably fit. People were here on their laptops, sitting with family, reading books.... We will head back to this place again today, it was a nice way to split up the day.”

1185 E Main St, El Cajon, CA 92021, United States

”Good food. Huge portions. You can problably share. Excellent service even when they are busy. I will go again and I recommend this place. Older cafe style with character.”

12764 California St Suite A, Yucaipa, CA 92399, United States

”This place is a trip. The decor is incredible. Not a coffee shop to sit and do your studying - there is no seating here. No food either. Just delicious drinks and an amazing vibe.”

302 Island Ave #101, San Diego, CA 92101, United States

”Awesome friendly cafe. Drink or food with admission. I would go for the drink since there are food motivated cats. Good amount of space and cats are friendly. I had Jacey in my lap for a while and Winnie was very playful. Love playing with some cats and made me miss my own kitties. Follow the rules and respect the cats but you can at least be able to pet one or more cats. I went in the morning and had a great time. Will love to go again with my husband.”

3600 Portola Dr, Santa Cruz, CA 95062, United States

”Such a cute place! Great cup of cappuccino and fantastic breakfast burrito. But the ambience steals the show!”

4340 Genesee Ave UNIT 110, San Diego, CA 92117, United States

”There was a line out the door this morning but they move QUICK! They offer online ordering ahead which is nice and have a station where you can grab and go. They include different sugars, free water and cups, condiments for coffee for take out. We absolutely loved this place. Their coffee options are unique and tasty. We dared to try the vegan sweet potato and coconut pastry and WOW we were so shocked it was one of the more delicious pastries we have ever tried. We also had it warmed. There is a gender neutral bathroom and plenty of room for anyone needing more space with disabilities. They have amazing cold brew and espresso drink options. We enjoyed the fanatic and an iced latte with hazelnut, 1/4 sweet with an added shot. They made them perfectly! We will be back for sure!”

15707 S Vermont Ave, Gardena, CA 90247, United States

”Delicious food located inside a bowling alley! Big Portions! Good Prices! Friendly Service! I recommend the Hawaiian Royal, Garlic Chicken and Banana Pecan Pancakes!”

350 Ocean Ave, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, United States

”Really cute cafe. The food was good and everything came out pretty quick. Outdoor seating but it’s all covered. We went on a Sunday around 1 and had no problems finding (paid) parking or a seat. The cutest latte art!”
