Bear Coast Coffee is a nice place to grab a quick breakfast and drink. Their avocado toast with egg was a huge portion and enough for two people to share. (Under $9) The coffee was a bit too bitter for my taste but others seemed to love it. Seating was outside in lovely Dana Point. Plus dogs were welcome. A cute kiddie section also was set up. Bathrooms were locked and clean.

Latte Fuel For The Mind, Inspiration For The Soul. LFG! Bear Coast Coffee is a trendy and cozy little coffee shop located in a plaza at Dana Point. They specialize in roasted coffee and tea as well as pastries. Interior decor was cute with huge bear on their east wall. Indoor and outdoor seats were comfortable with relaxing atmosphere. I came after exploring Dana Point. I was warmly greeted by Dylan, barista. After I skimmed their coffee menu, I asked for a Hot Latte x WM. I liked it. Overall, BCC is a cool coffee house with chill atmosphere and staff. I recommend you visit.

Adorable coffe spot. Recommend the guava cheese pastry, so so good! Light flaky a d just the right ratio of filling. The lavender honey coffee was great.

Ordered an almond milk latte and a breakfast burrito. Both were great. Staff were friendly and service was accurate and fast. The cherry on top was that the coffee shop had a kid friendly area where my toddler could color at.
