    Turkey Sausage Sandwich
    Brian M.

    We were looking for a little breakfast snack and some coffee so we stopped at Plilz Coffee right on PCH. It has comfortable seating inside and some seating outside too. Our barista was really nice and friendly. We had a Mocha Tesora that had dark chocolate, caramel and cocoa - it was bit sweet but good (4/5) and the Caramel Coconut Cold Brew (5/5) - made you want to be in Hawaii. For a snack, we had the Turkey Sausage and Egg Sandwich - this is just a reheated sandwich like you would get from a Starbucks - 2/5. It was cheesy and had some hard spots from the reheating. They used to sell avocado toast, which was good, but this is clearly not a breakfast spot anymore. The food all looked corporate like at Starbucks so if that is what you like then you will like this too. We will come back for more great coffee but pass on the food.

    Staff was friendly but first off, anytime you hand me an ICED coffee in a PAPER cup, I'm suspicious of what you're trying to hide. It's nice to see what the coffee looks like not just from top view. The menu shows only top angle which leaves a lot to be imagined. The coffee was basically hot coffee with ice cubes that quickly melt. And the coffee lacked boldness to be able to handle being turned into iced coffee. Didn't see any espresso options. Also, everything on the menu states "5-460 calories" at the bottom of the menu but neglects to show accurate calories per drink. 5-460 calories is useless information when there are more than 10+ different sugary coffee options.

    Oat milk cinnamon iced cold brew

    Welcome to Dana point PHILZ! We stoped in here finally- employees very nice, love the ambiance! Haven't been to one of these since I've lived in the Bay Area. They made be an oat milk iced latte with Stevia, and it was delicious! Will definitely come back in the future.

    Caramel Banana Brew
    Shay R.

    Absolutely love this location! It's super close to my job, so it's become my go-to spot. Parking is always easy (huge plus). They nail my drink right the first time, every time -but I also appreciate that they always remind me they'll remake it if I'm not happy. The space itself is big, open, and really comfortable, with plenty of outlets if you want to get work done or study. Definitely one of the best coffee spots in Dana Point! Tried their iced caramel banana brew with oat milk instead of almond milk and OOOH IM OBSESSED!!

    Outdoor seating

    Wonderful staff of young hard workers. Very friendly. One worker helped me pick out a delicious honey drizzled coffee and she gave all the reasons to choose it. I really appreciate a knowledgeable staff. Coffee prices are what you would expect, about $6 a medium specialty drink. There is minimal 2 hour parking around the back. Ambience...There are desks for plugging in your tech and getting some work done. Their is also a kids style area with books and crayons in a room which is away from the front entry doors. This establishment also has outdoor seating.

    This is such a bright and vibrant coffee shop with very kind staff. They only serve pour overs. I've never had an infused pour over but got cinnamon and yum! I love the art in here and the coffee was very yummy. Definitely worth a visit especially if during the farmers market, which is right across the street.

    From Chicago, first time at Philz with my daughter. Here are some thoughts: -It has a smaller menu than I'm used to, but some really interesting drinks! -I ordered the Philtered soul cold brew, and it was the best (not bitter) cold brew I've ever had. -Really colorful, interesting decor. -The staff were very friendly and helpful! I'd come back!

    Community board with events and businesses
    Madeline S.

    First time at Philz. I was impressed by many things! This location is very spacious with tons of places to work. They have long tables, benches, couches. The vibe is somewhat urban and loungy and I love that. Also, they have some fantastic art as well as community boards with different businesses and events advertised. My only gripe...why is the logo orange and the umbrellas and chairs outside yellow...overall I'm very happy to have a Philz in DP!

    This little coffee shop just opened. I had never been to a Philz However , it is quite different than any coffee shop. I think that you will ever go to the level of quality of coffee is absolutely outstanding. The service was good . The complicated way you order your coffee is just not for me. They have a wonderful outdoor patio and a large, indoor seating area dog, friendly kid, friendly as a matter, in fact there seemed to be more babies and more mamas than anybody else having coffee that day. And I really loved the music .

    Blueberry breeze
    Brittany T.

    Stopped here for a quick coffee before heading to the beach but it wasn't as quick as we expected. There were a lot of people here for a Sunday morning! I think next time we'd try ordering ahead on the app. We ordered the Gingersnap, Blueberry Breeze (a seasonal item), and the three cheese egg bites. The egg bites definitely give Starbucks a run for its money, very tasty. The Blueberry Breeze was quite refreshing! A little too sweet but that's okay. The Gingersnap was also delicious, such a throwback. Not in Dana Point often but this is a great spot for coffee if you are.

    Jeff S.

    I would give it 5 stars but for a few things. I've been in here 2x now in the past month for a visit. The coffee is definitely really, really good, some of my favorite. I was not that impressed with one of the specialty beverages, but it wasn't bad-just a good way to spoil what could be an even better cup of coffee. On my most recent visit, first they lost the ticket, causing an unusually longer than normal wait. Then, when the manager or whoever it was apologized very politely, another employee remade the drink in a larger size than we asked for and iced, when I had asked for hot. So she had to remake it again hot. She gave us both drinks I guess as an appeasement for the error and extended wait time. I know it's busy and kind of hard in a place like this, but I would have preferred to have the beverage comped instead of being charged for it and another beverage which we were not going to be able to drink added. Or she could have given me a $5 gift card for the error-something like that. I just don't think getting an extra beverage and a larger size is the best way to go. I also noticed they say no dogs on the door, so the first time I went I waited outside while my friend went in and ordered for us both. Then, on that occasion and on today's visit, I see people walking in with multiple dogs and no one says anything. So which is it? These were obviously not service dogs. Please, enforce the rules or allow dogs. And now I see on Yelp it says dogs allowed. I'm so confused! I think she's the manager, there's a very petite, young lady who on the first visit offered my dog a treat as we were waiting outside, and then she was the same one who apologized to me for the drink mistake. She seems to be on top of things and attentive whenever needed. Kudos to her! I will go back, just hoping they will fine tune their operation a bit more and make the doggie rules fair for everyone.

    It's something truly American
    Alex G.

    Amazing design inside location! Especially we loved the kids area with a toy coffee machine. Cute corner with a sofa and chairs to enjoy the best coffee. Coffee is really the best - especially mint mojito! Stuff is nice and helpful. Keep it going Philz!

    K J.

    Best experience and Best Selection of flavors!! It was our 1st time here and we are big fans now. Tried the limited edition flavor ice coffees and the service and ambiance were very welcoming and clean

It is on the smaller side with no indoor seating, but there are tables available outside which is nice if you're enjoying the weather. They had a selection of pastries that looked delicious, including pistachio croissants, danishes, and other pastries, although we didn't end up trying any of them. The drinks menu had a lot of unique options that all sounded great, which made it difficult to choose. Unfortunately, the service took away from the experience. We were the only customers ordering at the time, and since there were five of us trying to decide on our drinks, it naturally took a few minutes. The employee taking our order repeatedly asked if we were ready and seemed very rushed, which made us feel pressured to hurry up instead of enjoying the ordering process. I've worked in fast food and restaurants before, so I understand that customer service can be challenging, but being welcoming and patient goes a long way. A little more friendliness would have made a big difference. As for the drinks, they were good overall. I ordered the honey latte and really enjoyed the flavor. My only note is that I got it with whole milk, and the milk had a slightly funky, almost cheesy aftertaste that I wasn't expecting. I'm not sure what caused it, but it was noticeable. Overall, Coco Bloom has a great location, cute drinks, and pastries that look promising. I would gladly return, but I do think the customer service could use some improvement. With a more welcoming experience, this easily could have been a 5-star visit.

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.

I think that's why the coffee didn't have any flavor and I didn't like it. The staff was nice enough to remake my drink, but even the second drink tasted like it didn't have any syrup in it and tasted like a regular latte.
