About J.C. Beans
A cottage on PCH.
Vaulted timber beams, a wall of brass bean dispensers, and a fireplace nook lined with books — a coffee house built for staying a while.
The idea
Coffee, ground fresh, behind the brass.
J.C. Beans Coffee House is a quaint, comfy cafe in Dana Point featuring espresso and coffee, fresh-baked pastries, a book library, a fireplace, and patio seating — with dine-in, drive-through, and delivery.
The roast dispensers behind the counter hold everything from a light Guatemala Antigua to our dark house blend — ground to order, cup by cup, the same way since the doors opened on PCH.
What we believe
Stay as long as you like.
A Library, Not Just a Counter
Shelves of books line the fireplace nook — pull one down, sink into a chair, and stay a while. It's the reason regulars call this a second living room.
Beans, Ground Fresh
Our house blends — light Guatemala Antigua, medium Killer Dana, dark house roast — are measured from the dispensers right behind the counter.
Patio Built for PCH Mornings
Palm-lined seating just off Pacific Coast Highway, with the marine layer burning off by mid-morning — Dana Point's easiest excuse to slow down.
Seriously the Best in OC
Nominated Top 5 Coffee House in Orange County — the same framed write-up has hung by the register for years.
Behind the counter
A library, a fireplace, a chair that fits.
Pull a book off the shelf, sink into the wingback chair by the wood stove, and let the espresso machine do the rest — regulars call it their second living room.
Behind the scenes
A little glimpse in.
