5 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dana Point

“One of my favorite ice cream places! You must try the homemade waffle cone with your ice cream. It is absolutely worth it for the price. You won’t go wrong with any flavor.

Parking: Limited number of spots (about 15), crowded during peak times of lunch and dinner.“

“Many choices of dessert here. Italian ice, custard, ice cream, etc. We came for the custard and got the vanilla/chocolate swirl on a cone. It was smooth, creamy and took care of the sweet tooth craving. Only wish there was more seating. There were two tables closer to the supermarket. Long line and consistent but it moved fast.

Parking: Parking is in the shopping center.“

“Great treats! Nice staff. Super specials.“

“My friend introduced me to Crumbl, and now I’m addicted! The trio of mini cookies is pure genius, allowing me to indulge in a whirlwind of their scrumptious, rotating flavors. Each visit feels like a new, delicious adventure for my taste buds!“

“Walking along the pier we noticed a sizable line of people waiting in line at only one restaurant, which is usually a sign of good food. This was certainly true at The Coffee Importers. We ordered sandwiches - one roast beef and one turkey -- was able to specify the bread and condiments. Both were quite thick - appropriate for the price point >$14 - and both were very delicious. The use of fresh ingredients was readily apparent. Served with a few pieces of fruit, which was a nice refresher at the end. We would come here again to try some of the other options. The egg/bagel sandwiches that we saw coming out of the kitchen looked marvelous!“
