I was so excited when Morning Lavender Cafe opened up a couple months ago. Most “Instagram worthy cafes” are located in Los Angeles and sometimes getting to them just for a cup of coffee or picture is quite the hassle. But this wonderful half boutique/ half coffee shop is just a 15-minute traffic-free ride from my hometown. So needless to say it has become my favorite Orange County cafe!

The main entrance to the location welcomes you into the boutique section. They have a gorgeous selection of clothes, shoes, handbags, and accessories. Although things are a little bit on the pricier side, all their pieces are definitely unique and “worth it” buys that will enhance your closet.

The back area of the location is the coffee shop and outdoor seating. There are two main photo worthy walls that are parallel to one another (note- be prepared to wait in line for the opportunity to take a photo). At the counter, you can order teas, coffees, and pastries that are very yummy and decently priced. They also offer a reservation only tea time that is $30 per person which includes an assortment of teas, scones, and little sandwiches. If you plan on doing the reservation only tea time slots fill up very quickly so I would advise booking in advance.

Whether it be getting tea with you gal friends or celebrating a special occasion, this cafe is the perfect girly location for that!
