First time here. Place was very busy on a Thursday morning. We ordered bagel and Nutella Croissant, everything was good and coffee refills for a $1 more.

Neat little coffee spot, one with a mom-and-pop type of feel to it, they have variety of drinks and options for a little side bread etc .. I like the vibe to it and seems like a lot of the locals know each other here, it's a neat spot worth visiting rather than corporate chain companies out there.

First time customer. I ordered a latte and turkey sandwich. I went to eat the sandwich but there was an intense smell as soon as I opened the package and I quickly discovered mold on the turkey. Yuck.

I will not be returning.

Came here on a Sunday for the first time and enjoyed my Breakfast:
Service: 9/10 really nice manager- maybe owner walked us through the menu and helped us order the best pastries and coffee beverages. Some guy took one of our coffees so had to wait to get the second.
Pastry/Croissant: 10/10 got a doughnut, desert toaster pastry, and an Almond Croissant. All were fantastic and they heated them up first to perfection.
Egg/Omelette: 9/10 got a breakfast burrito with egg potato, cheese and spinach. It was on the smaller side but was delicious.
Coffee: 9/10 got a Latte and it tasted perfect the only thing I’d change is since I was dining in, would have liked it in a cozy mug Vs a to go cup
Location: 9/10 easy to find and park in Mission Viejo.
Ambience/View: 8/10 cute inside with some subtle music playing. A couple small tables outside but would be very close to the parking lot and no views outside.
Menu: 9/10 great choices for some simple breakfast and pastry items. Customized the coffee with almond or oat milk and plenty of great beverages.
Price: 10/10 very reasonable pricing on the lower end and would be a place you could go any morning.

Just fantastic. I just love being able to talk coffee and enjoy really great espresso shots and drinks with someone like Nick who knows the art of making espresso and their ways with the coffee beans.

We first tried a double shot espresso shot with their Espresso Blend, and it has great complexity and flavor with lingering chocolate finish, but the real surprise treat was when he pulled a blonde shot with the Uganda light roast. I've never had a light roast as espresso and I was surprised at how good it was! So much so that I bought a whole bag of the Uganads Light Roast to try at home!

This is a worthwhile store to go to and I'd choose this over Starbucks any day of the week!

The coffee is so delicious.
With good pastries.

The restroom is so clean and with stuff for the personal items for the lady's
The coffee of the month is a good election

Comfortable coffee shop with great food/drink, friendly baristas, and seating/outlets everywhere for those who like to work from coffee shops! I'm writing this after my third visit to High Ground Coffee House because my order was miscommunicated (I wanted hot, but an iced beverage was made). The barista double checked on this with me and immediately remade my drink, then delivered it to my table. I've previously had their breakfast burrito, which was delicious. Coffee is great, and they have decaf espresso too. Definitely worth a visit!

I walked here at a busy hour since I was working at the farmers market nearby and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The drinks were very well-priced and the atmosphere was relaxing. The drinks took a little long to make but it makes complete sense since I did come here at 9:30 which is busy time. The drinks were pretty good, I got the peppermint mocha and I would get it again.
