Bear Coast Coffee Dana Point

From Chicago, first time at BCC today, here are some thots:--Very friendly service!--I had the lavender caramel latte, recommended by the barista, nice flavor and drink.Recommended!

Bear Coast Coffee Dana Point is a pocket coffee shop right in the popular Del Prado walking area of Dana Point. There's tons of street parking but be prepared to drive around the block to find some. It is located on the ground floor of the new apartment and restaurants complexes built on PCH. Bear Coast is a countertop coffee shop with a very small inside bar seating area and a small outside patio seating area. Be prepared to stand in a decent sized line to order food and care is taken with all food and drink so be prepared to wait a while for each order to be processed. This is not a Starbucks! The quality of the food and drinks are excellent and the prices reflect that - be prepared to pay around $5.50-$6.50 per drink. There is a limited food menu and a small pastries case. I personally had a delicious oatmeal and my boyfriend had a meat and cheese croissant. They were very filling and very tasty. This location is dog friendly.The vibe is incredibly casual, slightly contemporary hipster, and very open air. They do sell merch and it leans into the $20 for a trucker hat or organic tote pad category. Most recently, I had a vanilla nutmeg latte, which was just the right amount of spice and sweet for the holiday season. This isn't going to be my go to coffee shop, but it is definitely going to be one. I will visit when I am in the area.

I wake up with Bear Coast just about every morning. I've lived in Dana Point most of my life, and it's just the perfect fit for the community. The coffee is awesome and best quality around, the baked goods are spectacular, the staff is rad, management is crisp, and there's always a great combo of regulars/locals and visitors. Thanks Bear Coast! One of the only spots I regularly and happily sport their merch. Love you guys!

I went to the Bear Coast Coffee off of Amber Lantern, DP. I went in for a coffee and decided to get their egg feta breakfast sandwich on brioche. The coffee is always good! But it was my first time for the sandwich and it was incredibly delicious! Fairly priced as well! They're also really kind to my dog, and give her a little treat every time she comes in.

Such a cute little spot! Coffee is on point you can definitely taste the vanilla in their cold foam! Service is amazing with Ellie and Dillon, they are very sweet and friendly!

I thoroughly enjoyed the calm atmosphere while sipping my coffee by the coast, which is perfect for those seeking a peaceful moment and a breathtaking view. The coffee was really great. I sampled both the cortado and the coldbrew, and both were simply wonderful. The cortado exudes a warm and inviting character, offering a harmonious combination of flavors that blend smoothness and intensity. The coldbrew, on the other hand, was incredibly refreshing--exactly what I needed on a warm day. The flavor was refreshing and enjoyable, providing a boost of energy and leaving a sense of contentment.The staff was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent guidance in helping me choose the best espresso beans to try at home.

Excellent iced latte. Excellent service - personable but not over the top. Iced lattes were so tasty that Bear Coast was a must stop 3 of the 4 days we were in town. Even bought a bag of beans for home. Thanks Bear Coast!

Breakfast burrito use to be good. Basically just a hash brown burrito now with packets of sauce. McDonald's style

The drinks are great but they have a lot of young people that are not wanting to work there. Talking in the back not making orders and taking forever and messing up orders.After making me wait so long and ruining our plans for the day due to this and I complained they gave me a chip for a drink.Horrible service:Never going back with this kind of treatment. Non chelant not giving a f about your customers will be the end of you .Please pay more and hire people that want to work.Thank you

A mocha to die for of course a picture tells the story. Such consists fly good flavor and delightful baristas
