JC Beans Coffee House
34114 Pacific Coast Hwy, San Clemente, CA
Crema's Take
“This cozy San Clemente spot wins hearts with standout breakfast burritos and specialty drinks like their beloved vanilla lattes and lavender-infused London Fogs, all served in a relaxed, book-filled space with both indoor and outdoor seating. While it's a bit tricky to find parking and gets crowded during morning hours, the inviting library atmosphere and friendly vibe make it a worthwhile destination for anyone craving quality coffee and a place to linger with a good book.”

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.
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.
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 .
