After experiencing a total of 6 collisions, not at fault car accidents, I have a service dog and in healing need to adjust to being in public and feeling safe...so I choose jc beans after 23 years of living and loving Dana Point...jc beans felt a better choice than Starbucks that's just too loud for me... yet after only 15 minutes I was approached about my dog and made to feel unwelcome. Loud embarrassing situation because it's a small place. I gave them the federal ID to show his years in service and then she left but I was there now feeling horrible where I went to feel safe. Don't worry Jc Beans... I use to put you above the rest, but I won't be going inside again. UPDATE: Went to the New Philz coffee place. . .yes, it is new, so it was Busy and loud, but I was not harassed about my dog while in the place and all the other dogs were outside. I AM A DIE HARD DANA POINT, LOYAL LOCAL & WAS NEVER GOING TO GO IN PHILZ BECAUSE I SUPPORT JC BEANS... THAT'S DONE WITH NOW. PHILZ, YOU HAVE A NEW LOYAL ROYAL LOCAL IN ME AND MY POOCH.

What was once a cozy coffee shop where people could relax, enjoy a latté and a nice pastry in a pleasant environment has been transformed into a Starbucks clone with poor acoustics, subpar pastries, and a staff screaming the names of their customers over the din of the coffee grinders and blenders. My reaction was "Get me out of here!" I won't be back.

Microwaved food and the worst parking lot situation possible. Pass. Coffee was decent though
We found this spot after driving around Dana point - not too many coffee shops around the area. The reviews looked decent so we gave it a shot . Aesthetics are nice it has a library inside and some seating inside and outside . The girl at the front knew nothing about coffee or to recommend anything which I found odd . We tried an iced americano- it was so watery we asked her to make it again and she kindly did . It wasn’t filled up all the way kind of a rip off for the price and the taste was mediocre .. idk probably won’t come back again to try anymore drinks .

Delicious coffee! Very well balanced, not over processed, minor gripe with sediment in my drink which should not happen in properly prepared lattes but still had a great flavor. Still recommend and I hope a one off occurrence.

I visit Dana Point frequently, but this was my first time to J C. Beans. Despite the 4.5 stars it has, I did not feeling the coffee was all that great. It was not super flavorful and the Americano (one of two drinks we purchased) was the smallest I've seen for close to $5. The breakfast burrito was actually quite good and the atmosphere is cute, though on a busy, noisy road. I probably wouldn't go there again, but it was worth a shot.
Very cozy lobby. Nice patio. Very tiny parking lot. Fast and friendly service. I ordered a Chai Latte, it was too sweet for my taste. Next time I will ask if they can make it less sweet .
