I've been here a few times before and had great experiences, but this last time really made me…read morequestion if it's worth the calories & money. Asked for the s'mores ice cream bar, but they made a cup instead (decided just to go with it versus waiting for a new one). The marshmallow fluff & graham crackers were all at the bottom of the cup, just a little chocolate and graham crumbs on top-- so basically felt like a "plain" soft serve cup while eating majority of it. Then the fluff had frozen at the bottom and wasn't "toasted" like the pictures advertised. Overall disappointing experience this time around but maybe that flavor combo just isn't meant to be in a cup. Soft serve flavor is okay, but I would recommend the bars or bananas over the cups!

So happy to finally have an Alohana in Dana Point!! Great spot for açaí bowls and smoothies:) The…read morestore is also super cute, perfect beach town vibes! First time visiting this new location and it was pretty packed! Definitely a great addition to the area, their açaí bowls are REALLY good. Just grabbed a smoothie today but it was pretty solid too! Will definitely be getting more Alohana again soon now that we have one in Dana!!

We were paddle boarding all day at Baby Beach and needed something to hold us over for the drive…read morehome and went with an acai bowl. Alohana was close by, so we drove up the road and were there within 5 minutes. There's a few parking spots out front and we were able to get one at 2:50 pm on a Saturday. Inside it's cute, clean and there's seating, but they also have a few tables and chairs outside so we ate out there. I went with the Campground which has both Pitaya and Acai base, some granola and berries and banana slices. They were busy at the time making orders and we didn't wait too long for ours to come out. I will say, the bases were a little frost bitten or more icy when I got it, but it did melt down a bit more once I started eating it and then everything started to blend and it tasted good. I'm a huge fan of Blue Bowl and feel like nothing compares to theirs, but Alohana is on par with that. It's good if you want to take it to go and let it melt down a little to have that smooth consistency instead of fighitng with it and getting chunks at a time of the base. Definitely would recommend coming here after a long day at the beach or picking one up before heading to the beach to enjoy there. They also sell coffee and other random, but very cool, tchotchkes, clothes, art, that you wouldn't find at any other Acai bowl shop and it's very Dana Point. Great place to pick-up a unique souvenir if you're visiting from out of town.

Really friendly service here. Plenty of parking outside, for Laguna Beach! Everything tasted really…read moregood and the proportions were good. If I had only one comment, it would be less whole tomatoes with my lox bagel. Still would go back! They sell their own cream cheeses here too!

We were looking for a spot to get a cup of coffee and something for breakfast, but since we weren't…read moretoo familiar with Laguna Beach, we turned to Yelp, and found Shirley's Bagels - and what a find it was!! It was already hoppin' first thing in the morning, so we had a great feeling about this spot! We got a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese on an everthing bagel and my hubby and I figured we'd split it. Well, after the first bite of the fresh baked, warm bagel sandwich, I knew it was a mistake that we were going to share. It was so dang delicious! We gobbled up our halves, then ended up ordering another bagel sandwich, plus some extra bagels to take home. I told the guy that helped me the second time that it was our first time there and that we really enjoyed our bagel sandwich so much, that we had to order another one - and he wasn't amuzed. I thought he might enjoy hearing a little positive feedback on how much we enjoyed our bagel sandwich but he wasn't too interested - almost gave me the vibes that he was still half asleep, so that was kind of a bummer! But as for the bagels, these are probably the BEST bagels we have ever had!! Oh, and their coffee was super delicious too! And if you stay there and have your bagel and coffee, they offer one free refill of coffee, which was really nice!! They have tables inside and and a few outside, so just stay and enjoy your bagel and coffee while it's hot and fresh!!

We have been the San Clemente location but first time at this location. Usually there is a long…read morewait so be prepared but they do go fast.

The Hunt to find the best ice cream after a beach day continues…read more.. Sunday evening 7ish pm about a 20 min line (not a fan for lines) You get the option for soft serve Vanilla, ice cream bar or frozen banana. we decided on three ice cream bars. Once we got to the counter everything looked pretty standard, familiar. We got a sprinkles bar, butterfinger bar and strawberry shortcake bar. Nothing impressive, basic vanilla w a topping. I suppose I was expecting some more exciting ice cream flavors, combos. If you like straight forward basic ice cream this is your place. otherwise you'll be a little disappointed. The place is small, no indoor seats, two outdoor wobbling tables, each w wobbling umbrellas but they look cute. Staff too busy chatting to suggest anything. $7.50 per bar, It was ok. Likely won't go out of my way to look for parking or stand in line. But it's always fun to try new places.

Again, another over priced coffee shop for what you get they're somewhat in a "coffee desert" if…read moreyou're on foot in the area though so it's not like you have many other options. Almost $20 for two vanilla lattes that were just whatever. My husband even had to go back and ask for more syrup because it was lacking in the flavor department. I'm starting to feel like I'm crazy because I feel like I've written this review for so many coffee shops lately... And it's not even the ice like super sweet coffee or anything crazy but I think I just can't believe the price that we've been paying for mediocre lattes these days. I would've rather waited until we got back to our car and tried something somewhere else.

Along with an order of fresas con crema. Patty shared that they had toppings for it and added shredded coconut, granola and raisins. The location has about 5-6 small tables inside and has plenty of parking. There are a few more restaurants around the plaza so you can always grab dinner and then a sweet treat after.

The lady who served us was nice, but didn't give me what I ordered. I asked her to split one order…read moreof ice cream into two flavors in separate cups. So, one scoop in each cup. Instead, she just gives me two separate orders (two scoops was minimum around $6. Thanks for not telling me that until after I paid). I decided to let it slide, until I really didn't like how one of the flavors tasted at this particular store. I asked to speak to the alleged "owner" who apparently wasn't the owner because she said she has someone above her telling her what to do. She straight up told me she couldn't exchange it for a flavor I'd enjoy. I never asked for a refund, even though I was pretty much cornered into buying double what I actually ordered, yet she just said she couldn't do it and didn't seem to give two craps about me. No apologies, no empathy, no hospitality, just looking me like "gtfo so I can go back to my desk and watch TikTok you sucker." I understand the store policy might be trash and the employees can't do much of that, but I basically got backed into a corner of buying WAY too much ice cream for one person and overpaying too, and no one at that store seemed to care. If the owner sees this, I hope the couple cents you saved by being an asshole was worth it. If you knew anything about business, I'd probably come back. But I'll take my money elsewhere. You're in a very competitive area and we can all do much better. Good luck. In conclusion: customer service/hospitality and store policy are terrible here. I wouldn't bother.
