Bear Coast Coffee

cold brew is a reliable starting point at bear coast coffee, but if you're in the mood for something warm, the lattes tend to be the move on la plaza. dana point sits close enough to the water that you almost always want something cold, though, and this spot handles that crowd well. it's on the smaller side of the specialty scene, tucked into suite 103 on a street that doesn't ask much of you, which is kind of the point. you don't need a reason to stop in beyond the fact that it's there and it's good. locally, the reputation holds up without much noise around it. come back for the cold brew on a thursday morning before the weekend crowds roll in from doheny.
