Bear Coast Coffee

Bear Coast Coffee in San Clemente is a must-visit! I had a delicious vanilla latte that was absolutely divine, and an equally delicious tasting pistachio croissant which was flaky and packed with flavor. This spot is clearly a local favorite, bustling with energy on a Saturday morning. It's just steps from the beach, making it ideal for a post-surf coffee and pastry! The inside is quite small, leading to a long line that wraps outside, but the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming! The service definitely could be friendlier, especially given the busy rush, but the quality of the drinks and pastries made up for it. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Bear Coast Coffee is a great place to enjoy a tasty treat in a charming beach town. Highly recommend!!

Great location - can see the beach and people watch - and friendly staff but the coffee was entirely forgettable. There's some seating outside (a big plus!) and they do have a bathroom on site for customers so you can avoid the beach public restrooms. However, I'd recommend getting a coffee on the Main Street and walking down with it instead.

Stopped in after a fun filled day spent in San Clemente to grab an iced tea for my drive home. I ordered the herbal ginger plum iced tea and it was outstanding. I wish we had more Bear Coast Coffees in other parts of OC closer to where I live and work because I would be a regular to get this iced tea! I believe the Chaupain bakery locations that I am also a huge fan of carry Bear Coast Coffee so I'll have to check if they also have this tea too!This location is right in the heart of San Clemente across from the pier. If you're in the area pop in for a beverage.

I have been a huge fan of Bear Coast ever since they were in the Cellar up the street. Their quality is unmatched and one of the highlights of San Clemente. I love their house made almond milk and the lavender syrup. Everything is spectacular and you really can't go wrong with any menu item. It is a bustling location so you may choose to grab and walk with your drink.

The location is nice if you want to have a drink in front of the beach but the coffee isn't anything special. It is very overpriced. My horchata latte just tasted like a regular coffee. I would save your money.

I loved my horchata latte. I felt the price for alternative milk was expensive. $1.25 for almond milk. Not sure if this is a CA thing but back in AZ this is steep. Location is great, right across the peer and next to other shops. Food menu is small. I would have given them a 5 star cuz I did like my coffee but I think they shouldn't up charge that much for alternative milks.

Cool spot, prime location adjacent to the beach, we decided to get coffee here on a Sunday AM. I ordered an Americano which I enjoyed. Latte flavours seemed overly complex. Outdoor seating overlooked the pier. I'd recommend.

Bear Coast coffee is my go-to coffee spot when I'm in San Clemente or on my way down to SD. I always make sure to stop here to get coffee! The coffee is so good and so flavorful and they make it just right! Even just a hot americano tastes so delicious when they make it! Service is incredible and it's fast and I love the beach vibe they have! Their pastries are also very good but they sell out pretty quickly! Highly recommend!

the best house made almond milk around! staff are friendly. my favorite coffee shop in south OC

This is a really busy cafe close to the pier with friendly staff but the coffees we got were just average (vanilla nutmeg latte, cappuccino). There are a few tables and seats outside that face the ocean - would recommend spending time out there!
