50 Best Cafes near Dana Point

“This place is a retreat, heaven and happy place. I love it all. ❤️🌱“

“Nikki's has the best machaca burritos around. I get them all the time. They are HUGE and so delicious!“

“Always enjoy staying at the Waldorf Astoria. Nice escape, great location, attentive staff. Perfect getaway.“

“Really enjoyed my stay! The rooms were quiet and comfortable, the hotel bar was fantastic, and the room service was excellent. Loved the thoughtful little amenities—they really made a difference.“

“Great food and views. recommended“

“nice breakfast this morning, always enjoy HH Cafe when we visit.“

“This is a wonderful relaxing spot to enjoy good food, beer and wine, kick back around a firepit and watch the beach go by! Live music started just last night and going through the fall, TBA. See you on the sand!“

“Clean, fresh vegetables in their meals. Excellent dishes, wide choice.“

“I feel that Moulin in Laguna Beach is a bit better than this location, but I still had a good experience here. One thing that has always disappointed me about Moulin is the size of their lattes—they're just too small. I wish they offered larger latte options on the menu. Other than that, everything was good, and I would probably come back more often if they served bigger lattes.“

“Tim is Making Great Coffee lives up to its name — and then some. This San Juan Capistrano spot has a cult following among locals for good reason: the coffee is thoughtfully prepared and the personal approach to the craft is genuinely refreshing. Stopped in with clients exploring the historic downtown SJC corridor and it was an immediate hit. The mission-era charm of San Juan Capistrano is a major lifestyle selling point, and cafes like this add to that authentic, unhurried quality of life. When buyers ask me what the daily rhythm of life in SJC looks like, places like this are a central part of the answer. Highly worthwhile.“

“Love our first time here this morning. Better croissants than we had in France and we thought they were good! Outstanding quality and you can tell everything is made with 100% pride, care, compassion and love. Will definitely go back more than once! Goodbye diet!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Great food/drink. Nice patio.“

“Excellent bakery with indoor and outdoor seating, quieshe(spl?) Lorraine was excellent as was the pecan sticky bun, both came warmed and fresh. Really good. Would love to head back. They greeted me as soon as I walked in, had my order ready by the time I actually placed and paid for it at the counter and brought it out almost immediately.“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

Excellent Service. Enjoyed having breakfast and listening to all the locals visiting with each other. Dave can cook a STEAK!!! Perfect! Thank you Dave!“

“This coffee is amazing. I live in Kentucky and the coffee i received was well packaged and very very fresh and packaged air tight. way better than the big store chain. I was on a search to find a very low caffeine coffee that tastes o.k. and I found it! It tastes wonderful.“

“This is very much a classic diner the food is quick to arrive delicious and well prepared and almost so beautiful to look at but you feel bad eating it… You stop feeling bad after the first bite then you start to feel wonderful thinking that there’s no possible way you could ever put an end to this joy. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries and let me tell you each bite welcome the next they have wonderful parking outdoor dining and like I said before a classic feel. This is definitely one of those places you wanna come back to.“

“Toastique is one of those spots that instantly makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your food. Everything is super fresh, beautifully presented, and honestly tastes just as good as it looks. From the savory avocado toast to the sweet toast and the acai bowls, every bite feels clean, flavorful, and satisfying without being too heavy.
It's the perfect little foodie stop for a cute brunch date or a solo treat-yourself moment. Definitely a go-to when you're craving something fresh, aesthetic, and feel-good.“

“Delicious food🤤 Must give it a try.“

“Excellent everything!!!!!“

“A beautiful morning at Crystal Cove...7AM reservation at a table with great views of the ocean and our smiling server, Oscar, welcoming us with strong hot coffees & cream. Perfect. I enjoyed a typical breakfast that was perfectly prepared to my order: poached eggs, extra crispy potatoes & bacon with rye toast and blackberry jam. My lovely partner was overwhelmed by the tasty gigantic "Savory Spinach & Mushroom Crepe". It would easily feed two people. Oscar was very attentive and often stopped by with more hot coffee. Delightful.“

“My sister ordered a matcha latte and the gradient was well made! There is still a noticeable difference in the quality and flavor of the matcha latte with Okayama Kobo Bakery and Cafe. However, my sister and I really appreciated the indoor seating that the combined matcha station and poke restaurant offered. There’s a good amount of seating inside in addition to outlets. And in favorable weather, the outside seating that the stores share is another good option. Service was kind and immediate. Bathroom was clean and well kept which made stopping by even better. God bless you all+“

The staff were all so friendly, attentive, and caring, but I want to give a special thank you to Anita. She went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful experience, and her kindness and positive attitude made my visit even more memorable.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional from start to finish.

I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Persian food and unforgettable hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! ❤“

“I mostly always build my own omelette and its always amazing. Great fast service with a smile😎“

“Moulin in San Clemente is this adorable French bistro that's totally transporting. The vibe's cozy and it feels like a mini getaway. We sat outside and it was perfect, beautiful sunny day and the outdoor seating is gorgeous. I went for the omelette special with mushrooms and French ham and it hit the spot, eggs were perfect and the flavors were great. My wife loved the Croque Monsieur sandwich. Customer service was outstanding, the staff were super friendly and on point. Oh, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing! They've also got this cute little market thing going on which was a nice touch. If you're in San Clemente, Moulin is a solid pick for a chill French meal. We'll be back.“

“Why hasn't anyone talked about this hidden gem. The staff is so friendly reminded me of my own family. So sweet and friendly. They have baked fresh breads and desserts. Their spinach and feta with garlic pastry was so delicious I didn't even take a photo. Cause it was so addicting. It melted in my mouth and every part of this pastry was so worth it. This place is very clean and cozy. If your looking to try something new or something familiar and with great customer service come here.“

“I will say this place is amazing I’ve been very happy with every bite of my Baja beef wrap I had the spinach tortilla as my wrap and the secret sauce as my condiment and I can’t recommend it enough the outdoor seating area was perfect for socializing and enjoying the weather. The flavor is perfect with portion and I ordered the small size drink which for my weight loss goals was ideal!!“
