It has become a daily staple, enjoyed at home, on the go, as a morning cup or a mid-afternoon energizer.\u00a0For me, there is always a moment in the day where I have downtime and need a place to grab a cup, sit and recharge. When traveling, I usually find myself scouring Google Maps for the nearest spot that looks good. Today in Laguna Beach, you can sip back and relax.<\/p>\n

We finally have your much-needed caf\u00e9 roundup with the top spots in town for your caffeine fix.<\/p>\n

BLK Dot Coffee<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in North Laguna, BLK Dot is your go-to spot. Even if you\u2019re not, this industrial and modern caf\u00e9 is worth the visit for some premium beverages. They\u2019re known for \u201cVTM\u201d Coffee, slow dripped Vietnamese craft coffee, but we also adore what they call \u201cspecialties on the rocks.\u201d Their Sea Salt Cold Foam Iced Coffee is a beautiful harmony of sweet and salty, making for an enjoyable creamy and cold summer drink. In case you are hungry, BLK Dot also serves breakfast and lunch all day.<\/p>\n

Zinc Caf\u00e9 & Market<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zinc is like a breath of fresh air filled with relaxed Southern California vibes and influences. Whether you want to relax and chat with friends or read a book and people watch by yourself, we love this spot for its coffee, cuisine, and atmosphere. Order at the counter, take your number, and find a seat in their spacious outdoor garden patio. All their coffee is made with Intelligentsia, a company that does direct trade with its growers. Their Lavender Latte specifically is an ode to Laguna Beach, created with organically grown and locally made lavender syrup. Needing something a bit more substantial? You can\u2019t go wrong with any of their fresh food options that you can feel good about filling up on. Our most recent obsession is the Healthy Bowl with seasoned quinoa (with soy sauce, cashews, shiitake mushrooms), corn, sweet potato, arugula, cucumber, harissa, lemon and olive oil.<\/p>\n

Urth Caff\u00e9<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With several locations throughout Southern California, Jilia and Shallom Berkman have become trailblazers in serving heirloom coffee that is roasted in small batches to provide bold, complex, and delicious cups of joe. The variety of coffee and tea options at Urth Caff\u00e9 seem endless, because well, they basically are. The menu both in food and drink at Urth are so large, it seems like the Cheesecake Factory of organic, healthful, and sustainable chains. We love the reliability and diversity in options here where you can keep coming back and try something new, knowing you are consuming organic ingredients that were properly sourced with utmost care.<\/p>\n

Laguna Coffee Company<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Laguna Coffee Company has classic caf\u00e9 vibes for people to comfortably do work or have a small business meeting. However, what truly sets this place apart is their ability to micro roast coffee right on site. Owners Rene and Tomi Miller have curated and created a quality experience that you can smell as soon as you walk in. In addition to their various bean options from their Honduras to their Laguna Blend, they also have specialty drinks like their Golden Latte. The name comes from its gold color and signature ingredient: turmeric. The added health benefits create a great excuse for you to order that cup you know you\u2019ve been wanting.<\/p>\n

Nick\u2019s Laguna Beach\u00a0<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had to end this roundup with a coffee drink with a little extra kick: the classic Espresso Martini from Nick\u2019s Laguna. When your day is done, you don\u2019t necessarily think to order something with the bold flavor of coffee, but trust us; this martini is the ideal pre-dinner or after-dinner drink you never knew you needed. Nick\u2019s version is spirit forward, with a bold and bitter java flavor that gets balanced with the frothy, creaminess of their airy and silky homemade whipped cream that gets dolloped on top. It\u2019s a dessert and drink all in one, making it the perfect nightcap every time.<\/p>\n
