Bear Coast Coffee - latte - super chill spot with good vibes and friendly staff. there's some indoor seating - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dana Point, California

Time to fuel up before the hike & sightings in town. Dana Point has friendly business owners & staff. The coffee was served fast and tasted excellent at $7.50 a cup & $1.50 for added Oat Milk. You can sit outside & do your research on your laptop with free WiFi with purchase. It's downtown so it tends to get noisy but nonetheless it's worth your time. Parking is free and easily available! Enjoy & visit the Arches at Bluff TopTrail just a few steps away, you'll Yelp me later after u take those pictures with the amazing views! read more

Latte Fuel For The Mind, Inspiration For The Soul. LFG! Bear Coast Coffee is a trendy and cozy little coffee shop located in a plaza at Dana Point. They specialize in roasted coffee and tea as well as pastries. Interior decor was cute with huge bear on their east wall. Indoor and outdoor seats were comfortable with relaxing atmosphere. I came after exploring Dana Point. I was warmly greeted by Dylan, barista. After I skimmed their coffee menu, I asked for a Hot Latte x WM. I liked it. Overall, BCC is a cool coffee house with chill atmosphere and staff. I recommend you visit. read more

My go-to spot on Friday mornings, yes, yes! Once a week I treat myself to a chance of scenery and a little walk about before I settle into my home office for the day. I love Bear Coast ("The Bear") because they open at 6am! Yes! The early bird in me can get up naturally between 5 and 5:30, get myself out the door, and get here in time to be one of the first customers of the day. Arrive early and you can still purchase a piping hot blueberry muffin! My husband also loves their avocado toast; served until noon, so snag it before then. I don't actually drink coffee, but they have an affordably priced tea at $3.75. They use Kilogram tea, which is also sooooo good. Better than anything that Starbucks or any of the major chains use. The only downside is that during the day sometimes, it CAN get a little busy inside of people perched up with their laptops. There have been a few instances where I want to sit down, but there are people inside and out who don't appear to be moving any time soon. Normally I just grab my tea and stroll the harbor, but sometimes the legs need a rest. 2024: 99/100 read more

Would not recommend getting a matcha nor coffee. Very watered down and over priced! I was very excited to try this place but the baristas were just rude and made the environment very uncomfortable. I would never take the time to make a review but the drinks and service were such a disappointment I couldn't help but make one. #notyounghoapprove read more

Located not to far from the beach, this chic and modern cafe brings so much joy to not only the regular customers but also new comers with bright smiles and energy from the baristas, unique specialty drinks, adorable merchandises and attractive baked goods and fruit oatmeal. I personally had to rent the cafe for work recently and the owner was very kind and flexible with the accommodation that I was forever thankful. The staff were also incredible on multitasking taking care of the customers and my team at the same time, which was pretty impressive. During down time, I ordered Vanilla Nutmeg Latte that was recommended by one of the baristas and it was such a divine. They were out of ham and cheese croissant so I got the almond pastry instead and it was a perfect harmony with my latte. There are seating inside and outside of the cafe so if you want to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze at cool cafe with amazing drinks and baked goods, check this place out. read more

3.5 stars for coffee! Really liked that the Mocha was not too sweet at all. Unfortunately it was a bit grainy when drinking so it would get caught in my throat. This location is super cute and love the outside area. Small inside area and ok service, would come back if in the area! read more

I like this place! It's small but cute. I had the matcha latte and the pistachio croissant. The pistachio croissant was super tasty but I wish it was warmed up but that's okay! The matcha latte was good. Not too sweet but also not too bitter. I got it with almond milk. I also liked how it actually tasted like matcha (some places overdo it with the milk) The service was quick and the baristas were kind. I'd come back! read more

I ordered the lavender caramel iced latte with oat milk. $7 was a pretty good price for this. I was pretty impressed with the drink. It definitely was on the sweeter and milkier side. Next time I think I'd ask for more ice so the drink is stronger, but overall I enjoyed it and would come again! They have bar seating inside and a couple tables outside, as well as a restroom around the corner. Our drinks were made quickly and service was friendly. read more

Kiara was such an angel!!! She went out of her way to make my morning easier even though it's was definitely an inconvenience during a busy morning and as someone who also works in coffee I was so touched she went above and beyond!!! Thanks queen xoxox! read more

We got the horchata, mocha, vanilla and nutmeg lattes, along with the matcha which were all watered down and had little to no flavor. The service was terrible. The employees were rude. Couldn't even say a simple you're welcome or give smile after thanking them. read more

We were visiting Dana Point and stayed in an Airbnb within walking distance and came here every morning for cappuccinos and a baked treat. It's a small shop with minimal indoor seating and some outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and helpful and a pleasure to see each morning. The cappuccinos were so delicious. Their espresso roast and drip coffee were so smooth and delicious. I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

Bear Coast Coffee - Dark Chocolate Mocha + Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dana Point, California

Coffee, staff setting all very enjoyable. However lately there appears to be a challenge with stolen bathroom fobs, so bathroom access is available only if you can locate a custodian/ janitor to open bathroom door. There's got to be a better system, but they don't seem very proactive about finding a solution for their customers. read more

It was the only CAFETERIA that had the "cortado" Spain's coffee style that I drink. It's 50/50 espresso/milk. The size and flavor is just exactly like the ones served in Spain. And the price is also right, $4 a cup. Service is good, I do recommend it if you only drink espressos with milk. read more

Came here during my lunch break and I'm glad I did! The coffee was great, and the staff is friendly. I got the vanilla nutmeg coffee and it was delicious! The coffee isn't as rich as I thought but it was still good. The coffee shop is small but it feels pretty open because it has a high ceiling. There's limited seating on the side but there's also a few tables outside in case you have to get some work done. Overall I recommended trying this place out and I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu! read more

This is a perfect coffee shop for remote work/studying. It is brightly lit with big windows. There are many seating options and accessible outlets for charging. The wifi is pretty fast. There is gentle music playing in the background. There is also outdoor seating if you prefer that. It is a little chilly inside with the AC so make sure to bring a jacket! And also importantly, the coffee is great! The vanilla nutmeg latte was unique and tasty. The employees are very kind and welcoming. :) I would love to come back and try the rest of the menu! read more

Cute coffee shop! Makes great coffee lattes and I loved that the barista double checked with me to make sure me and my whole family's order was right. We also got croissants which were tasty and flaky maybe almost too flaky but definitely tasty! read more

Bear Coast Coffee is a neat spot nestled in Dana Point. Bear Coast is a specialty coffee roaster in that started as a pop up and now has two locations in Dana Point and one in San Clemente. Their team was super nice from the moment I walked in and they seemed to enjoy working there. Bear Coast had a good selection of pastries, the cream cheese danish was really good and not overwhelmingly sweet. Their coffee quality is definitely above your standard, they make their sauces and syrups in-house for those who enjoy more sweetness. Overall the coffee was good on its own, they had indoor and outdoor seating, and my order was ready quickly. read more

i ordered online, said it closed at 6 but i got there and it was closed. i paid like 25 dollars for two stupid coffees that i couldn't even get. and since i ordered online and it was closed how am i supposed to get my money back?? this place seriously needs to work on their online ordering read more

coffee is solid but service is so bad. no one says hello when you walk in, no one says thank you when you leave a tip, no one brings your drink to you, no one says thank you when you leave. the only thing they seem diligent on is showing you the sign that says you can bus your dishes yourself and flipping the tip screen in your face. not sure if this is considered acceptable service but not what I'd expect for $7 lattes. unfortunately I like the coffee but won't be coming back. read more

Love the location - right in the heart of the upgraded central Dana Point lantern district. Surrounded by other great businesses and new apartments. The shop has very limited indoor seating but has a large patio area to enjoy drinks in the sunshine. Staff are friendly and orders are prepared in a reasonable timeframe. My decaf oat milk latte was creamy and delicious. I love that I can walk down from my house and enjoy this new neighborhood coffee shop. read more

What a cool little spot. Love the logo and vibe of this establishment. Parking can be a bit tough in this area but they do make some pretty tasty drinks x I came by late Monday morning and was greeted by the friendly staff. I decided go for one of their specialty lattes and I was not disappointed. I got the lavender caramel latte with oat milk and it was fantastic. The lavender was the main showcase flavor in this drink so if you want something more subtle in flavor, I would go a different route. If you're looking for a unique coffee spot that isn't your chain coffee spot, I would go here! read more

A little expensive, but the drinks are yummy. I also love the chocolate muffin when I have a sweet tooth. It is helpful that they offer online ordering. My only complaint for that is that you can only order four things at a time, which can make the process frustrating when you have a big order. read more

Good local coffee place in a small shopping center in Dana point. Has indoor and outdoor seating and easy parking. Coffee was good and they have a small pastry selection as well. We ordered a mocha and a cappuccino. The chocolate chip cookie was warmed up and hit the spot. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this spot but if you're in the area it's a good option. read more

hannah made the best coffee really good location good vibes really good for breakfast. I love the place.

Bear coast is a hidden gem in Dana point. It's always so hard to choose a coffee shop when there are so many around but I'm pleasantly surprised with my option. There is a huge parking structure across the street so parking is never a nightmare. The barista was very friendly and the vibe was open and light. I got a dark chocolate latte and was happy with my choice. They have a decent amount of coffees and teas and I'm excited to try their iced drinks next time I'm back! read more
