Another favorite is the kouign-amman when they have it. It has a flaky pastry texture with a custard filling - and the top is bruleed when you order. The cafe ordering system is kind of like an assembly line, you can choose pastries, sandwiches, salads in the display, while other meals and drinks can be ordered at the cash register at the end. There's a few tables indoors, but most of the seating is along the patio outside.

The staff answered our questions to the best of their abilities…read more It's so nice and cold in there and there is seating both inside and out of the establishment. I got the lucky Charms coffee and while it was great coffee it tasted like lavender to me (I rate it a 8/10). I will most definitely come back for another coffee purchase. I split a coffee cake with my bestie and it was dry :( it tasted more of a carrot cake to me to be honest. I really enjoyed my order of Shrimp tacos although I thought it was spicy but again really good 8/10. There are restrooms in the facility.

I usually get matchas, yogurt bowls and the ham & cheese croissant are family faves as well. The staff, drinks and food are great. Lately it's been harder for me to order at the drive-thru unless someone is physically outside to take orders. There have been two incidents now where I've sat at the drive thru with no response. I've tried to say hello to see if there's a response and there is none. I think maybe the sensors are in need of maintenance. Please fix it because I've just driven off when this happens. Update: I went back 3/3/26 and sat at the drive thru waiting. Nobody answered so I figured the drive thru is closed. I go inside to order and I asked if the drive thru is closed. The baristas say it's open and "we saw you but we weren't sure if you were waiting to order from us or Hendels (next door ice cream shop)" but then why would I be waiting at better buzz to order from next door?!! then I hear them taking a drive thru order while I'm ordering at the counter. it's confirmed it's not the sensors that aren't picking up my car at the drive thru, I'm just being ignored. Cool. I won't be coming back.

After my meal here I felt so peaceful…read more They did such a great job with the atmosphere of their restaurant while providing easy, yet delicious food options. I'm very impressed by the biscuits and gravy. Some of the best gravy i've ever had. Very flavorful. Plus the Biscuits had a beautiful crisp on the edges so they never got soggy. One detail I admired was the chilled water glasses instead of using ice. This just leveled the experience up a few notches. I'm surprised how quickly we were seated considering it was a Saturday around 10 when we arrived. Well done! When my husband and I are back in SoCal we will be visiting again.

Loved it here on a Saturday (Labor Day Weekend) around noon, party of four…read more Really busy around this time. Parking was definitely busy, cars are always pulling in and out, it can be hard to navigate the small parking lot with big vehicles, trucks! Atmosphere was pleasant, you get the nice breeze from the coast line. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Plan to wait in line around 30 minutes or so just to be safe, and plan for 5 to 10 minutes while you navigate the parking lot. Food was really good to be honest, we did enjoyed our meals, their coffees, and lattes! Definitely a worthwhile visit of you find yourself here around Dana Point!

You can't get any fresher than this as it is farm to table...with that said, the drawback is the…read moremenu can be limited and the day we went, they did not have any fish available. We sampled a lot of items and I loved the little gem lettuce. Hubby got the veggie burrito and it was quite tasty. Fruit, peace beans, toast and the citrus cake rounded out our meal. So, so good! There is also the farm stand next door to buy fresh food and cool products. I tried mulberries for the first time and was glad to have purchased a little container of them. Definitely come here to explore and have a nice healthy meal!

This place is very charming and cute, but unfortunately the food just isn't very good. I had the…read moresalad with green goddess dressing and added fish. The fish was extremely dry and overcooked and was difficult to swallow because it was so dry. It was a $10 add on and not worth it at all. $16 was also quite pricey for the portion. The strawberry corn muffin was pretty good though. The patio area is cute and has a lot of tables with shade. The floor is dirt so it can get dusty. While this place is dog friendly, if your dog isn't absolutely well behaved in all situations with people and other dogs, this is not the place to bring your dog. They have a resident dog that they have unleashed and is free to roam and get up on table benches. I apologize that my dog was reacting to this dog and some staff but them leaving their dog off leash certainly did not help my situation when they saw me and my dog were having a hard time. This is not close to me and definitely am not compelled to return based on the above.

We're not used to dining with two young kids and the effort it takes, but we were babysitting and…read moredecided to take the kids here. The servers were SO accommodating! There isn't really a kids menu per se, but they offered to make the lobster Mac n cheese minus the lobster- kids loved it (as did I and usually dislike Mac n cheese). They were out of the Brazilian cheesy bread, but not to worry, they offered to slice up a baguette, toasted each slice and served it with olive oil, butter and jam. Perfect to much on before the main courses arrived. The short rib ragu did sound too hearty and large, but decided to give it a go and the portion was delightfully manageable, balanced flavours and extremely tender. I'd also recommend the crispy skin branzino, full of flavour and again, the size was not overwhelming.

Stopped by here exploring San Juan Capistrano area en route to SD for Memorial day wknd. Just walked around the alley and saw a strip of cool old craftsman style homes converted to restaurants. I saw on yelp there was a Tea house. That is what made me walk down the ally. Found the tea house and took a pic. Directly across from there was Ramos house. There wasn't a line. You can tell that the AMs that place will be packed. Food was so good and hit the spot.

Came for Sunday brunch this past weekend and felt compelled to update my review. The ambience is…read morestill 5 stars, but the food no longer is. It's on me that I didn't realize it was pre-fixe at $48/person on the weekends. So our party of 5 was outrageously expensive considering the fact that we ended up with way too much food and most of it was meh. For course 1, we got the beet and burrata salad, hush puppies, "salmon lox," beignets, and coffee cake. We could have been done after and would have had 1/2 the food leftover. The salmon lox was mild in taste, but nice. The beet salad was delicious, but would have been better with goat cheese. Hush puppies were good, but SO HEAVY. My kids had the beignets and coffee cake, which were served with a lot of syrup/sauce. Neither dish was finished and they were also SO HEAVY. For 2nd plates, we had the beef stew, flannel hash, crab hash, and 2 orders of the mac and cheese with duck confit and truffles. The flannel hash was outstanding. Everything else was meh. The beef stew was good, but the potatoes were unnecessary and there were bites of blue cheese that were disproportionately strong. The crab hash was not good even after adding salt and pepper. The egg portion of the dish was bad. The sweet potato crispies were overwhelming and ridiculous. And the large crab cakes were just totally lacking in flavor. The mac and cheese was also meh although it did reheat better the next day. But the portion of duck confit was light and I ended up with a large bone in my mouth when I had it as leftovers. I do not believe there were any truffles or even truffle oil in this dish, just mushrooms. In short, I would never go again on the weekend and would not even seek this place out on the weekdays. I wonder if the chef changed because the food was just so mediocre compared to before. The portions are very large so if that is of interest, they have that in spades. And the flannel hash was outstanding. So if you find yourself here, definitely order that. I hope a revamp is done on the food. If so, I would come again as the patio is absolutely lovely.
