Visited this area while traveling from Texas, theor beans are just perfect. Loved the light roast, and the vibe was also great. You can't go wrong with this place if you visit the area.

The coffee is just on a different level. It is so good. The foam on top is thick and delicious. The latte art is beautiful. The barista was so nice. The inside of the coffee shop was also very cozy and I liked the style of the store. I am definitely coming back.

they deliver delicious coffee with a friendly smile! My dog loves going there too because often they will give her a little piece of bacon. Their breakfast sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had! Great Croissants, too!

I’ve been kinda expecting them to move for a while. While the plaza location was a great hole-in-the-wall to get them off the ground, this location is the much needed upgrade. Central, great seating and patio, and in a brand new building. I’m big on exposure and it gets the best sunlight for the morning hours and shade during the hot summer afternoons. Coffee is great and the baristas know what they’re doing. There isn’t a ton of coffee shops in Dana Point so this is a must try.

super cute little coffee shop located in Dana point. wonderful customer service. Lilly the super kind barista recommended the lavender caramel latte for my husband and I had the chai tea latte. both were absolutely delicious and the caramel latte looked so beautiful. both were ready to drink right away and weren't scorching-hot like most places. some seating inside and outside. Dog friendly. Has some baked goods and cold drinks to grab for the go. Fair pricing. Highly recommend.

Bear Coast Coffee is such a special spot. The coffee, food, and ambiance are all top notch, but the real difference maker is how incredibly warm & caring Josh and the entire BC Staff has been. We spent a month in Dana Point, and hit Bear Coast almost every day… partially for the caffeine, but more so for the wonderful community. Can’t recommend this place enough! 100/5 stars!

I was in Dana Point for three days and happened to find Bear Coast Coffee when I needed a mid-morning snack on day one. And my love affair with their feta egg sandwich was born, and I went back and had it the next two days. Seriously the best egg sandwich I've ever had! And the chai lattes weren't bad either. 😄
