Coffee Pub

Went for coffee on Sunday, November 22, 2015, and the place is closed! Out of business!

I work in the same complex, directly above, as the coffee pub, so for convenience purposes I have been going here on a regular basis for close to two years. The only reason it is getting two stars is because they are kind enough to bring me my order. I would not like to leave a bad review but unfortunately have no choice.
The food has been subpar on multiple occasions but the last two visits have been the worst. I ordered a croissant with Jack cheese, egg and ham both times. The first time i put in the order waited in shop for 5 minutes and then was told they were out of croissants, I was asked if a bagel was okay I said sure okay. Was given my food, took it back to my office to find that they did not add the ham.
This second time only moments ago I ordered the same thing, making sure I checked it this time noticed they gave me cheddar. I told the fellow that I ordered jack, he apologized and brought me back another sandwich. Which was the same exact sandwich just with the cheese and the majority of the bottom part of croissant scraped off and maybe one thin slice of jack added.
If im paying $ 10 bucks for a croissant sandwich and coffee at least don’t treat me like an idiot. Be respectful of the food you’re handling and of the customer.
It is unfortunate that this establishment is so poorly run, as it has the location and idea that would be great.
Will not be coming back, it is so much more worth it to walk to Shirley’s Bagels

Absoloutly 1 star. For 2 coffees and 1 sandwich I have been waiting for 30 minutes. The worst coffe ever.

Food is decent. Acceptable.
Service is slow and a little too relaxed for my taste. «I’ll be with you in just a minute» is not something I heard. They run out of things (croissants, honey) which is a sign of poor organization in my opinion. Don’t come here if you are in a rush. No bathroom not their fault exactly but affects rating.

Service is slightly substandard depending on who the cashier is for the day. They are all friendly and happy, but every once in a while they are slower than normal. Or smirky over something as if they are humoring me. Young eccentrics, but always polite so I cope.
The food is always fresh. Pricing is decent. They always have good sandwiches and bagels. Wish they could be a little faster prepping food, but they are not to blame for me running late.
Biggest issue here recently was watching the counter help waste gallons and gallons of water while washing one mug. Water going full blast, wet mug, soap mug carefully with water still running. Rinse mug. Put mug in another spot on counter. Water still running. For four minutes that water ran full blast. The mug was under the water maybe thirty seconds of that. Then the procedure was repeated to wash a plate.
We are in a drought. Staff needs to be trained to conserve water.

I wanted this place to be as good as it looked. Really cool vibe and décor inside and eccentric staff. I asked if they could make me a flat white, the guy said yes. What I got was a single shot of espresso in a full cup of hot milk. Not impressed. Id rather be asked what exactly I’m wanting than just guess and make me a bad drink. Maybe they are good at their menu drinks, but I probably wont be back to try

Decent coffee. Place is a wreck. Who ever owns this place has no idea how to manage employees. Every time I come in here (which is quite often) I see a new face at the counter and they usually have no idea what they are doing. Pastries are usually stale and left all over the counter tops for people to hand pick from. I am a local and would like to see some training of the employees and a more consistent team effort to get coffee made quickly. I won’t be back unless I am walking by and feel like a long wait for some coffee. There is a barista/​coffee place inside the wine shop inside the LB visitor lounge (across the street). Go over there for some great coffee! I gave the review an additional star due to location in the village.

I really like this place. Great drinks and the food is good too. I get a surfers bagel and the eggs sometimes as well (they will make you egg whites if you ask nicely). The outdoor patio is a nice touch and is pet friendly

Will not return. They messed up my order 2 times. Ordered ice blended mocha with soy and whipped cream. They made with milk and no whip, then they re-​made it after I brought it up to them. Then it had soy milk and no whip. They fixed again. Then it had NO coffee taste. Went back to ask if there is any coffee in it – only THEN do they tell me it doesn’t come with a shot of coffee and that costs an extra $ 0.50. I paid $ 4 for a drink that does not contain coffee in a «coffee shop» and they say «sorry we should have asked if you wanted coffee in it»…
Also, another phone order customer waited awhile for his sandwich order to which they had not made cause order accidentally not put in so he left upset. The manager scalded the employee publicly in front of customers. VERY unprofessional.
Overall, unorganized and unprofessional.

So, I went in at 4:45, they had a speaker out the door playing music loudly, which seemed like an invitation to come in. Excited to get a quick caffeine fix I eagerly walked in through the open door (that was wide open). When I entered I was told by a mostly naked man and a blushing girl that they were closed. I don’t know what I walked in on but I assume it doesn’t meet up with health codes. Just a tip, but if your hours say you’re open till five you should probably wait till AFTER you close to fool around with your coworkers, #kthnxbye

I just got a coffee and croissant, both were pretty standard, nothing special. But five stars for excellent service. I can’t remember her name, but the lady at the register was very friendly and upbeat even though it was early in the morning.

Good service, poor product. We stopped by at about 2pm on a Sunday. We got one iced and one hot coffee. Not good. My iced coffee tasted about 3 days old. Also, it was really stuffy in there… I wanted to leave ASAP. The woman who was working seemed nice and attentive, which is why I rate it two stars instead of one.

The coffee is great. The sandwiches and salads are fresh and they always exceed your expectations.
They stayed open for me a night I came in about 5 minutes after close and were very friendly about it. I had to have some of that deliciousness!!!

Wonderful lunch the food was so fresh! My daughters ordered salads and they were great! Had a blueberry scone that was heavenly and the atmosphere was sooo wonderful. Quaint and quiet.

My experience there was not typical, since all I ordered was a chai latte on ice. The lady said she could make that, but now I regret getting it. Things seemed to be going well until I tasted the 4 dollar drink: WAY too sweet. Not enough spices. I got the impression that the sugar was mixed into the bin of chai spices so there was no avoiding this. After gamely sipping around the melting ice I gave up and tossed it in the trash. My pancreas thanked me.
Also, there was no air conditioning and we were the only people sitting inside because of this.

Best coffee in town, no competition. If you want an authentic, personal experience grab your cup of Joe and sandwich here. Take it from a girl who’s been coming to the coffee pub since childhood ;)
Why not drop into the Tibetan handcraft store next door for some treasures on your way out too?

This place is painful. I mean, it’s a place you want to like. It’s large inside, has lots of tables in cute little Laguna Beach with really good customer service, that doesn’t feel all pretentious. It’s like a quintessential coffee shop.
We’ll start with this. If you just want some caffeine and a place to relax and work or read or something and you order mochas or something that masks the flavor of the coffee to the point that it’s just a sweet brown candy drink, 4 stars.
If you want unbitter, palatable anericano and don’t intend to make it into a sweet candy drink… No, this is not your place. I think this is the first place to have my drink in the trash inside of 5 sips. Per the reviews, the coffee beans are rumored to have started out life good. That’s not the way it ended up in my cup.
Their tea selection seems to be pretty amazing. I was regretting my coffee purchase as soon as I saw all the jars! Seems like a great place to get tea in the winter.
Also, it doesn’t appear to have A/​C, which may or may not be a factor.

NOW WHY DID I VISIT THIS PLACE?! I did look up Unilocal reviews prior to my visit, but I’ll remember not to base it off less than 20 reviews. I wasn’t disappointed, but absolutely nothing special! They serve Diedrich coffee, which I haven’t had in a while, so it was alright. I got the Snickers latte and my mom got the Butterfinger latte (they serve it in their house mugs). I was not too impressed though, it tasted nothing like the candy bar! It was pretty much your standard latte.
It is tucked away in a little shopping center in Laguna so kind of hard to find, but if you try hard enough you will eventually find it! There are about 10 tables & it does not exactly have a coffee shop feel. Also, the staff is more on the rude side! I probably will not be visiting again — I will have to get my coffee fix elsewhere!

I like this as my coffee stop in Laguna. The décor is cute, a pub for coffee ia a fun, unique idea. They serve tasty Dietrich coffee, and serve food, as well. Doors on both sides of the pub make easy access while shopping or strolling, with seating inside or out.
I prefer my coffee in a mug, with a side of people watching.

Staff is friendly. Music was not so hot. My friend who met me seemed to like the music. It was «pop» stuff. Nothing I would have selected.
Cinnamon latte creation was good. The guy who was working made a happy face on my latte. Cute. However, the BIG PLUS to me about this coffeehouse is the Dietrich Coffee. I miss the wonderful place by PCH. Now that it’s Starbucks I’m more likely to get coffee here or at Zinc if it is open.
The cost of a small latte being $ 4 seems exorbitant.
The vibe has become pretty yuppie. People with small dogs, overly bleached blonde hair, and soiled kids. Not exactly the vibe I’d be overly excited returning to.
Overall I’d go because of the actual coffee, but not to sit and hang.
