I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

Every bite felt like a culinary journey through Europe, and the ambiance was akin to a cozy evening abroad, with fellow diners basking in the joy of a Saturday night well spent.Thank you .Fahim Fazli“

“A proper French bakery right on PCH is such a gift to this town. The croissants are legitimately incredible — shatteringly crispy outside, buttery and layered inside. The quiches and tarts look like they belong in a Paris pastry case. When I'm meeting clients for a morning coffee before touring SC homes, this is my spot of choice now. It's charming, relaxed, and sets a great tone for the day. Highly recommend.“

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

“Great atmosphere with great service. Loved how an entire team look out for you from the greeting to the end.“

“I am from Texas and staying at the INN across the street. my son and I loved it. Can definitely taste its homemade. The service was excellent and we definitely had leftovers to take with us.“

“Very nice place. The Brussels sprouts were tasty, and the hummus plate was also very good. We ate outside. Service was very good. The parking can be a challenge at times, but we found a spot. The restaurant is INSIDE the center, so the sign is not visible (that I could see) from the outside. When Google brought us here, we thought we might have taken a wrong turn.“

“And the pastries are excellent...above excellent. First day service was a bit disjointed...seemed like half the fairly large number of staff were training. Second day was entirely different...couldn't have been better, faster, more efficient.“

“Our fav Acai bowls ever! After landing in Cali this trip, it was our first stop because our 2 toddlers love it so much! Their Acai recipe is the perfect blend of sweet, but not too sweet….and the fruit is so fresh and delicious! Our fav bowl is the double rainbow with added bananas and almond butter! We actually got to try the sugar free Acai base this past trip, and oh my- it was so good! The owner is so sweet, and humble! So excited for this new dana point location!! *the bowls are large enough to share which is fun!“

“Al Fresco Dining at Aveo Table + Bar located at the Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point. Loved the 7 Curry Pancake and Local Fisherman's Halibut. They need to bring those Apple Fritter donuts on the menu!“

“I rarely write reviews unless a place truly deserves it, and this Moulin Café location at the Ritz-Carlton in Dana Point absolutely does. We visit weekly and even go out of our way just to come here.
The coffee is consistently hot, fresh, and delicious—and they’re one of the few places that still serves great old-fashioned brewed decaf. We usually order it half decaf and half regular, and it’s always perfect.
The pastries are excellent, and the customer service is outstanding. Antoine, the manager, is always friendly, respectful, and welcoming, and the rest of the staff is just as wonderful.
Highly recommend!“

“Very down to earth place, great service and good food. Big plates. Puts me in a food coma when I'm done and you can bring your dog! I feel it's a little pricey. But, who isn't pricey today. It's that or shut the doors. I'll visit again.“
