Equator Coffees - Laguna Beach, CA

-

Ideally located across from Main Beach, Equator Coffees newest location that opened in late 2023, is the perfect place to grab some coffee from a Bay Area coffee roaster favorite, to Southern California and specifically, to Laguna Beach.  Their latest location is uniquely situated in the revived and repurposed historic South Coast Theater on the iconic Pacific Coast Highway.

According to their website, “Equator is proud to source coffee from over 50 producers and co-ops in 20 countries. Dozens of these relationships span many years, built on trust and shared values.” 


What better spot to enjoy delicious coffee than right across from the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Beach; it might just be the best view from a coffee shop I have ever been to!

Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, Boxx Coffee Roasters offers some unique and wonderful coffee offerings.  With two locations, Istanbul and the LA Arts District, be sure to make this one of your first stops when visiting Los Angeles.   They roast locally at their Arts District location, sourcing beans from trusted local producers and long-time partners around the world resulting in delicious single origins and blends and of course, a traditional Turkish coffee as well.  Each time I have been there, the customer service from the baristas is top-notch from the moment of deciding what to order (they will gladly help you pick the best coffee suited to your likes) to bringing your order to your table or if you are simply just waiting to take it to enjoy on the go.  They were also awarded The Best Coffee Shop In Best of Downtown Los Angeles 2022 and have a wide selection of whole beans for sale in-store and online.

Some flowers are more intricate than others but they all do one thing for me; bring me immense amounts of joy.  It doesn’t matter if I am on a hike, vacation or just going to the grocery store, if I see a flower then I have to stop and take a picture and admire something that will only be around a short time.  “Minds are like flowers; they open only when the time is right.” – Stephen Richards Photo Notes: Ko Olina | Kapolei, HI | May 2017 | iPhone 6s Plus

Located in Point Loma, a community within the city San Diego, CA, is the Pearl Hotel.  Ideally situated one block from America’s Cup Harbor is a perfectly restored mid-century modern hotel which offers a quaint and surprisingly quiet respite from the bustling surroundings.   Originally constructed in 1959 and operating as a sportsman lodge throughout the 1960s, the Pearl Hotel as seen today, was carefully renovated in 2020 to reflect the sophistication of the 1960s with added modern conveniences and style. The boutique hotel consists of 23 rooms surrounding an inviting courtyard pool, which connects with the on-site restaurant and cocktail bar.  Rooms range from cozy spaces (Mini Pearl) to spacious suites (Pearl Suite) and everything in between, offering something for everyone.
