Maison Cafe & Market

I've seen this restaurant so many times when we drive by it or go to Bear Coast (the coffee shop across the street). I can't believe this was my first time here- it was amazing! Came for a girl's lunch and it was perfect for that. Eating brunch here is like a beautiful adult tea party with delicious food. The ambiance is so sweet and charming- from the French-style decor to the beautiful dishes with intricate designs on them. The servers are quick and friendly. I got the ricotta toast- it had ricotta with blueberry and honey, and it was so yummy and filling. I also had a flat white with oat milk that was really good too. Love it here!

Maison Café & Market is an absolute gem that transports you straight to France with its charming ambiance and thoughtfully curated decor. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the attention to detail--every corner is tastefully designed, and even the plates are adorably chic! The wine selection is impressive, offering a variety of great choices to perfectly complement their delicious menu. The food is exceptional, with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented dishes that never disappoint. The service is just as wonderful--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Whether you're sitting in their spacious indoor area or enjoying the cute outdoor seating, the atmosphere is always inviting and cozy. Maison Café & Market truly offers a delightful dining experience, and I can't recommend it enough!

I recently went back to try their new location, and I must say, the upgrade is worth visiting! I didn't mind a short wait because the restaurant is only a couple-minute walk from a spectacular view, which you can also enjoy from their patio dining. Their service was extremely transparent and diligent about checking that the hummus is dairy free and the butter on the gravlax toast can be omitted. I continue to enjoy their gravlax--it's among my top 3 favorite lox--but the hummus ended up being the unexpected star of our brunch. The asparagus, broccolini, and carrots (you could almost mistake them for sweet potatoes!) are perfectly roasted, and while pita is often fluffy, I actually liked how the thinner, crispy pieces complemented the creamy nuttiness of the hummus alongside the sweet and lightly garlicky veggies. Overall, a lovely place for a date or feel-good brunch!

Really enjoyed Maison. Definitely one of the better spots in Dana point. Food was outstanding. Also got to meet the chef. She was very nice. Want to go back and check out brunch

Maison Cafe & Market - This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I booked my reservation, the experience was seamless and professional which a nice small touch, but one that set the tone for my evening.The atmosphere was fantastic, striking the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The attention to detail in the décor created a warm, inviting space. As for the food, everything was high-quality and beautifully prepared. Every dish I ate had tones of flavor, and it was clear that care and thought went into every detail. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, polite, and genuinely seemed to care about making our experience enjoyable.Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better first visit. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. I'll definitely be back soon to enjoy this incredible experience all over again!

Really great experience this weekend here with the family. Came as two adult couples, one 14 year old, and 2 puppies so we sat out on the back patio. Service was wonderful from the moment we arrived.Food: everything was fresh, many gluten free options (no GF pastries however)... and NO SEED OILS! Woohoo! I ordered the Duck Hash- yum! Parking: We luckily came early enough to find nearby street parking, but there's underground as well.We live local, we'll definitely be back!

The cutest and coziest brunch spot in Dana Point. Very European, vintage and antique vibes inside and the menu offers so many fun toasts, entrees and apps! I loved my toast with arugula, avocado, parmesan, fried egg and tomatoes. The mushroom toast is lovely and flavorful - packs in so much flavor!Definitely order a Dutch baby for the table - not too sweet and dough is fluffy and light.

One of my favorite brunch spots on south OC. Madison cafe has a variety of sweet and savory dishes but where they shine is their toasts! Not pictured but we also ordered a couple avocado toasts for the table, one with mushroom and one with arugula and a delicious garnish. Only tip I'd give is come early! They have a wonderful selection of pastries and baked goods (their blueberry scones ) and they sell out super quick!!

Great service - great food. My favorite dish is the goat cheese appetizer. I ask for balsamic glaze one the side.Really love this place for breakfast and lunch.

We have been to Maison Cafe multiple times the past year, and it is without a doubt an Orange County gem. My friend Jason brought me here for the first time to try to duck confit and I've been hooked ever since. It's located in beautiful Dana Point. As you walk in the atmosphere is clean and relaxing with a bright French aesthetic. This is a place that you'll want to take your time and savor your food and drink as you enjoy your company - definitely not a place you should rush your experience. The service is always wonderful and everybody is so friendly and accommodating. I haven't had a sub-par meal since I've made this restaurant a part of my go-to places to eat.
