It's on the pricier side, but the food is unique and unlike what you'll find at most restaurants nearby. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere, with a small outdoor seating area and plenty of indoor seating. The only downside is that parking can be a bit challenging to find in the immediate area.

I was in the mood for tofu so I got three tacos with tahini sauce. They have super sustainable packaging that falls apart so make sure you eat it fast! I wish we had a Kreation down in Orange County.

The smoothies are fresh, flavorful, and taste like real ingredients, not syrupy or artificial. The açai bowls are the real standout though. Perfectly blended, thick, and topped with generous portions of fruit and granola. Every bite tastes clean, balanced, and satisfying. This is one of those places you leave feeling better than when you walked in. Great vibes, friendly service, and consistently delicious bowls and smoothies. Highly recommend if you want something healthy that actually tastes amazing.

Acai bowl was perfect for a hot summer day and the price is perfect for the portion. The bowl was…read morereally big and it was only $12. It was loaded with fruit, I ordered the Moonlight Acai Bowl. The acai was a little icey but wasn't too sweet. The ratio of acai compared to fruit was off, the bowl was like split in half of acai base and the other of fruit. I don't think the manager or owner evened it out well. Doesn't matter because it still tasted good! The granola was crunchy and sweet. After a long day in Laguna Beach, it was the perfect treat. They also have one in Laguna Beach too we just made our way to Dana Point for another obligation. Inside, they have seating and a big menu to choose from. They also have a bathroom and water station. Parking was easy too as you can park in their lot or street!

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.

I had a really frustrating experience at Nekter around 1:00 PM on July 27th. The young brunette…read moreemployee working at the time was extremely rude and clearly didn't want to help customers. She avoided assisting people at checkout. On top of that, when we ordered, she told us they were out of strawberry chia--which is something that comes with the bowl we paid for. Instead of offering any alternatives, substitutions, or even a small discount or coupon, she just left it at that with no effort to make it right. If I'm paying for a bowl that includes certain ingredients, I expect either to receive them or be offered a solution. The lack of customer service and basic courtesy was really disappointing. Definitely not the kind of experience you expect from a place like this.

A special thank you to Delaney for always providing such great service and attention to detail. Everyone here is friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which makes every visit enjoyable. The atmosphere is another reason we keep coming back. The interior is really cool, with plenty of board games to enjoy and unique items available for purchase. It's a great place to hang out, relax, and spend some time with friends or family while enjoying an amazing drink. We'll definitely be back!

The store itself is very inviting. The owner, Susanna, is super sweet and nice, as well as all of the workers. There are tables and wifi there to do work. They even have games in the store.

They constantly have new drinks available too! Pro tip - download the app and order online for quick pick up!

The food is amazing, the coffee is on point, and the flowers are absolutely beautiful. Every time I go, it feels like there's something new to discover. It really seems like the market is growing all the time, with new vendors popping up weekly, which keeps it exciting and fresh One of the standout things for me is the pastries... they are to die for Seriously, if you go, do yourself a favor and grab some. Everything feels fresh, handmade, and worth indulging in. Between the baked goods, local food, and quality coffee, it's easy to make a whole experience out of it. What I really love is the overall vibe. It has that perfect mix of community, charm, and relaxed coastal energy that makes Dana Point special You can walk around with a coffee in hand, check out the vendors, grab amazing food, pick up fresh flowers, and just enjoy the whole atmosphere. Definitely worth the time, worth the money, and absolutely worth going for the experience alone. If you haven't been yet, go check it out. It's one of those places that makes you want to come back again and again
