JC Beans Coffee House

“Excellent coffee, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.”

Best vanilla latte I’ve ever had. Love the relaxing ambiance, the large collection of books, friendly staff, and comfy chairs! Super busy during the mornings but that’s true for any decent coffee shop, and they manage it well. There’s a drive thru but I prefer going inside and waiting in the book area, browsing the selection. You can take a book they just ask for a $2 donation to the Dana Point library :)

We found this spot after driving around Dana point - not too many coffee shops around the area. The reviews looked decent so we gave it a shot . Aesthetics are nice it has a library inside and some seating inside and outside . The girl at the front knew nothing about coffee or to recommend anything which I found odd . We tried an iced americano- it was so watery we asked her to make it again and she kindly did . It wasn’t filled up all the way kind of a rip off for the price and the taste was mediocre .. idk probably won’t come back again to try anymore drinks .

Cute spot. Small on the inside but some seating and a nice library. Expansive coffee menu and friendly staff! The drive thru option is nice, but parking is limited and very tight. Seems like a nice spot to sit down and work, and less of a visiting place. Cold brew was okay. A bit watered down but definitely better than most of the coffee that I’ve experienced in Dana Point.

Best breakfast burritos and chai latte! Also love their iced vanilla lattes. I do have to say though they need to clean up. Clean the place but also clean their attitudes. It is borderline uncomfortable when you are trying to be kind and they look at you like they are annoyed. Just not the coffee shop energy you want to start the day. And I'm really trying to support small businesses in this economy rather than Starbucks.
