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 🙂

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.

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 .

Garbage. Dana point is definitely turning into Newport Beach and jc beans has definitely jumped on board. It’s been 6 years since I regularly visited and thought I’d stop by for nostalgia sake and enjoy what used to be fantastic coffee and pastries. I mean, just look at previous pictures of the place compared to now. Terrible coffee. Terrible vibe. It pains me to say this but you’ll likely have a better experience at Starbucks across the street

I had a London Fog and it was lovely! They have lavender syrup which is always a plus in my book! Cute little place with seating inside and out. Very few parking spots but quite easy to walk to. Enjoyed my stop here.

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.

This place is an absolutely amazing real coffee house. Way laid back vibes, with really good handcrafted beverages. A fun take 1 leave 1 locals library integrated into the decor… it is absolutely worth the stop well into the afternoon.

Thx for all the good reviews we found this place, contributing more :))) great coffee and surprisingly great treats. Overall beautiful stylish place. One problem is parking. The is some parking at back streets or opposite side of the PHW. And definetely the best drive through coffee :))) Our secobd visit was not so great. Staff was not friendly, to say the least, I asked for light roast coffee, it arrived as dark roast, almost burned. I am not sure if I am returning. Was able to check on a few more places around with sone success.

J C Beans Inc is our go-to coffee shop when we’re in Dana Point. While we can’t speak to the inside (we always have our dogs with us) the drive-thru service is fantastic. Their menu offers a wide variety of coffee beverages as well as tasty treats (they even have dog treats at the pickup window). This place is so popular, that on occasion, the drive-thru line overflows onto PCH. To us, that’s no biggie. The move cars forward at a respectable pace, and they bring our beverages out to the car. Highly recommend this coffee joint!

This morning I was going to Starbucks but decided to support local. Worst coffee ever, I am certain that it was made with non filtered tap water, as I know the taste and it gets me sick. I got sick right after.
