I have been looking for a solid grab n go breakfast spot and my friend didn't miss again with taking me to this place on the way to the beach. Loved their variety of bagels and sandwiches and almost 7-eleven vibe with the coolers for all the drinks with a solid variety of options. Got recommended a solid combo #6 with garlic and herb cream cheese and a drink for 14 ish bucks. Everything was perfectly portioned and made me instantly full and loved the taste and quality. The only qualm I had would be that the cream cheese was kinda overpowering and all over the place making the bagel not really able to hold its shape and it costed I believe 4-5 bucks to have it flavored. If it was cheaper or a little less it's an easy 5. Definitely coming back again! read more

A M A Z I N G bagels. Always fresh. Always perfectly chewy. Always tasty. I haven't had a flavor I don't like. Most importantly, they don't singe the onion flakes on the onion bagels, nor the garlic on the garlic bagels so even the savory bagels are always perfection. Lox & bagels - also great! My husband agrees. When we are in town, this is not just the preferred breakfast stop, we also take home a couple dozen bagels and freeze them. read more

Excellent bagels at a small locally-owned shop in a random Dana Point strip mall of all places! The cheddar jalapeño and egg bagels both possessed a hardy crust breaking away to a softly chewy interior...most impressive when factoring in that this was already lunchtime and completely cooled after toasting. The staff was very welcoming and efficient, getting me in and out within minutes with all the proper COVID-19 precautions in place. read more

My hot bagel came out cold. Don't know if their toaster is broken but the bagel wasn't even toasted. They put what felt like a pound of cream cheese on it that made the sandwich even colder. Same goes for the egg, it wasn't even hot, and the cheese wasn't melted. All around just a bad "hot sandwich".The service was quick, but I'm guessing that's because they didn't toast or warm any part up. The ambiance is nice. read more

Bagels and fresh OJ are awesome. They do have outdoor seating (limited) but it's nice. The service was speedy today, but ONLY because I had my ESA dog with me. The man who told me He couldn't have dogs in the store, ignored me when I stated she was my ESA dog. They even have a sign on front door that says service animals are permitted (by law they have to have this) but when it comes to action....they threw me out of the shop and said I had to wait outside for my order. So....do NOT patronage this establishment if you have a disability of any kind and use a dog for assistance!!!

I am a bagel connoisseur. I have had bagels since I was a little girl and I know a good one when I have it. I love bagels is absolutely the best bagel around the store on Golden lantern and Dana Point has the best people behind the counter, there is a woman there. I believe she is the owner and there's a man there. That's usually by the register and taking orders. They are fabulous. I love their garlic bagel. It is the best second best or equally as good as the onion bagel for us, traditional bagel lovers. We often have family in from out of town and we buy their bagels and we buy their cream cheese. They do a light green scallion cream cheese that is out of this world that with tomato and cucumber, a little avocado, some lemon salt or garlic salt, and it's to die for The woman is always really nice. She has been there for years and I just love her so for you bagel lovers out there this place is the best they're fresh. They're not frozen. They're not frozen dough. They're not any of that and you can taste the difference. Thumbs up for I love bagels on Golden lantern.... They are golden.! read more

I have been by this place many times yet have never been inside or tried their bagels until today. It is quite impressive inside with a rather large sitting area and a nice patio area upfront. They seem to do a lot of business and were very quick to get all of the orders out. I only got a chocolate chip bagel today but plan on trying a breakfast sandwich at another point. Amazing selection of coffee and different flavors including decaffeinated. I was a bit surprised that they don't have Wi-Fi. I used next-door's subway Wi-Fi, just thought that being a coffee shop they would absolutely have it. I look forward to trying other options here in the future! read more

I'll be back to Coffee Importers soon--it's a great place in DP for a morning coffee and pastry and hopefully the "regulars" don't ruin it for everyone else. Original review: I want to love this place and it bums me out to have to write this, but this is one of the least welcoming places in DP. Not because the staff is rude. But because they allow this clique of regulars to take over the outside patio and harass people who aren't in their group. I've watched it happen a few times now, but today was the worst. A woman with a little kid sat down at an unoccupied table and started having their food. A couple of minutes later an older gentleman walked up and began verbally accosting her, getting in her space and demanding that she leave because he's been coming here for 35 years and this is his table. He kept accosting her until she was crying and took her child and moved tables. A few people tried to comfort this poor woman and her little kid. This guy was 1000% in the wrong. But staff didn't do anything. Instead, they walked up to the guy, said hi to him (of course, in a first name basis) and were friendly as anything. But not a word to the woman crying and trying to distract her toddler. Gross. It's not just this one guy either. There are at least a dozen of these "regulars" and Coffee Importers doesn't appear to do anything to stop them from harassing people, and actually seems to be fostering this environment.

There is plenty of parking both in a lot, an extended lot and also the street. You can also take one of the many foot paths to the location as well. There are two ways to order. One sign says pastries and coffee and the other side towards the back or the Marina side says food and beverages. If you only want a coffee with a croissant or cinnamon roll or the delicious biscuits, then step into the pastries and coffee line. If you want breakfast sandwiches or any of the toasts plus coffee and other beverages, then go to the other line. It can get very busy, especially on the weekends after 9 AM. But bring your patience and be nice to everyone. Once you have ordered, step aside. Most likely your drinks will be called out first. It does take time to make freshly prepared food so either take a seat with your number and wait for it to be delivered or listen if it's going to be a to go order for your name It is dog friendly out on the patio. Please make sure to clean up after yourselves as the wind can blow any debris into the marina and we want to make sure everything is clean and safe for our underwater friends. Very cool nautical vibes. They decorate for the holidays. Reasonably priced. Support local. If you're gonna spend 6 to 7 dollars on a pastry or coffee, you should come here. Incredible vibes you could park at the other end of the marina and walk on over for a great scenic walk. My favorite is the iced harbor latte which is like a caramel vanilla latte similar to what I would describe as the golden eagle from Dutch Bros. The biscuits are incredible. I always get them. Stupid me drank the drink and ate the biscuits before I took a picture. Just trust me.

I was in the area and craving a really good turkey sandwich, so I checked Yelp and came across this…read morespot. Parking was easy for me I found street parking right by the beach, but they also have parking in the shopping plaza. I just happened to park outside. Before ordering, I asked to sample the egg salad and chicken salad, and honestly, I'm glad I did. Neither tasted fresh and both were lacking flavor, so that helped me decide to skip those. I ended up ordering the turkey sandwich with bacon, avocado, and all the fixings (I believe it's called the Rosa Special) on squaw bread. I have to say this sandwich was absolutely delicious. The bacon was perfectly crispy, the turkey was solid, and everything just worked together really well. What really stood out was their house sauce. I'm not sure what's in it, but it was so goooood! I even overheard other customers asking for it on the side. Definitely making a mental note to do that next time and find out exactly what it is. My only downside is the price. It was a bit high (around $18+), and I'm not sure it fully justifies that cost, but the quality is there. Overall, quick service, a really solid sandwich, and a spot I'd recommend if you're in the area.

Sandwiches x2, bag chips x2, drinks x2, small potato salad x2 = $50 plus tip. Good food & service but $$ for a sandwich and overall value.

This little bakery is always out of stuff by the time I get there but I was early this time…read more However most everything was chocolate which isn't my first pick. They had a lemon blueberry sourdough muffin so I got 1 to try. When I had it the next day for breakfast, I was pleasantly surprised by how many blueberries were in the muffin itself. I've had muffins before where the blueberries were only on top for looks. This one had it throughout. The muffin also was not too sweet at all. I really enjoyed it. Would but again! SYOY!

I'll be honest, I was waiting in line for BBQ across the street and my wife got some Baklava…read moreCroissant with Pistachio from this spot for us. Maybe it was the heat or just wanting to eat something but it was amazing! The texture of the pastry was really unique and the pistachio inside was delicious. I really enjoyed eating it and was impressed by the quality and flavor.
