Dana Point
By Natalie Boyle, REALTOR®, Founder of Verso Homes (DRE #01329012)
My family and I find ourselves at RJ’s Cafe for breakfast more than anywhere else! Their make-yourself-at-home vibe, freshly brewed coffee, and banana pancakes beyond all others create a familiar and welcoming atmosphere we all love.
If you love the beach and great food, The Wind & Sea restaurant is a must-stop on your next trip to Dana Point. Operating for over 40 years, they offer world-class cuisine with spectacular beachfront views. Don’t miss their Hawaiian Happy Hours, Mondays through Fridays, 4 PM to 7 PM.
Open 7 days a week, Project Social offers a diverse menu ranging from breakfast to dinner. Enjoy fresh bowls, salads, soups, burgers, coffee, and beer. Their patio seating creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, perfect for groups and events.
Station Craft is a local craft brewery that brews unique and limited batches of beer unavailable elsewhere. Visit during Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM (excluding holidays) to enjoy great drinks paired with hearty food, or relax on their patio with friends and family.
Founded in 2016 by Dana Point locals Mike and Christina Grant, Coastal Kitchen offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere along with a menu featuring wine, beer, and cocktails. It’s a perfect spot for any age to enjoy fresh, delicious meals.
One of my personal favorite breakfast spots in Dana Point, Maison Cafe & Market delivers the comfort and warmth of home. Chef Danielle, an Orange County native, curates dishes like the La Ferme Avocado Toast, Dutch Baby, and delightful lattes that keep guests coming back.
*Restaurant hours, menus, and availability may change. Please check directly with each venue for the latest details.
