Zebra House Coffee & Eatery — Restaurant in San Clemente

While heading home, hubby and I needed a little pick-me-up before our drive. I Googled coffee cafés near our location, which was in San Clemente, and various places popped up. The one that caught my eye the most was Zebra Coffee House. I mean, the name itself is very intriguing and just made me curious. So we went for it! When we arrived, we noticed that they have a drive-thru; you know I love a good drive-thru. It’s very convenient, you don’t have to get out of the car, and it’s just easy peasy! It was already perfect! I

When we went to the drive-thru, their menu is pretty interesting. It had different coffee options and other beverages that sounded really fun. Additionally, they offer healthy food choices which are kind of hard to get out of a drive-thru. We placed our order and I went with an avocado toast, and hubby went with a Hoagie. For drinks, he got his iced vanilla latte and for me, instead of getting a coffee, I decided to get this really fun drink called a lavender cloud. After we ordered, we were asked to pull up to the front to park which made sense because I know that those food items are gonna take a little while to prepare. We waited for maybe 10 minutes.

My avo toast was really good and hubby's sandwich was really good. He also enjoyed his coffee. My drink had a unique taste to it. It wasn’t gross but it wasn’t good but it was still satisfying. That probably doesn’t make any sense but I did finish it and I’m glad I tried something new.

if we’re ever back in San Clemente, I will definitely return and try some other unique drinks. Thank you zebra...

Zebra House Coffee was a pit stop on a road trip to San Diego. We ordered the banana chocolate chip muffin (vegan & gf), an iced soy latte, and the PB banana protein shake. In total these three items set us back $24 + tip (and alternative milk costs extra, boo).

Muffin: 4/5 - pretty decent muffin. Extra points for being warm and having lots of chocolate chips! Not the best ever and I can make better at home but a good treat on the road.

Iced soy latte: 2/5 - strange after taste that kept getting worse as I drank it, couldn't even finish it unfortunately (and that's really saying something). Not sure what happened there.

PB banana protein shake: 4/5 - the shake is made with almond milk, banana, peanut butter powder, and Organic Protein plant-based protein powder. It has a slight cinnamon-y taste. Definitely enjoyed it but it's not worth $11.

Restrooms, seating inside & out, free WiFi, and ability to order via kiosk (though I found it more helpful to order at the counter to be able to ask questions). They also have a drive through with two spots for waiting. The location is convenient as it's right off I-5 but it's also nothing special. The outside seating views are mostly of a parking lot.

This spot has potential with the cozy vibes inside and outside seating, but I wouldn't return again (too many other coffee shops around to...

Hard to get to. Get coffee or die trying💀. Dangerous area when full. Incoming traffic no stops. Dont risk life for coffee.

Overpriced. Small portions. Go here if you are a child or kid. Otherwise if you are a full grown adult you are going to starve!

Loud inside. Don't go if you have anxiety or are afraid of crowds.

It's not a regular coffee shop. Apparently, they play music and have events inside. Dont go if you don't like loud people.

Best time to go is after 2:00pm. Dont go before then you won't be able to even get inside the drive thru. Drive-thru but not drive thru times you just wait in car instead of inside with has better atmosphere.

They have drive thru. Its full. Dont be that one person who is blocking incoming traffic. It's dangerous. For what you pay just go to a coffee brewer roaster joint or get a burger from next door. It's safer. You live.

Everyone goes here (locals)👩‍🦲👴👵Don't go if you are not local. There's more options for you. Locals go since there isn't much specialty coffee around. And it cute apparently so automatic 5 star. 🥰🤔

The zebra house coffee has a bit of a weird taste. It tastes like something your momma said not to put in your mouth... basically it's an acquired taste. But is it supposed to...
