Kape Roasters
28971 Golden Lantern # A110, Dana Point, CA
Crema's Take
“Kape Roasters feels like discovering a well-kept secret in Dana Point, where owner John has created a warm neighborhood gathering spot that honors Filipino heritage through house-made ube pastries and thoughtful hospitality. The espresso and pour overs are made with real care and precision—reviewers rave about the smooth, fresh-to-order quality—and the minimalist space somehow manages to feel both welcoming to families with its dedicated kids section and perfect for serious coffee lovers lingering over their cups. It's the kind of place where regulars become daily fixtures and newcomers are greeted like friends, especially if you need help navigating allergens or discovering your next favorite pastry.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

$13.47 + $1 tip for a pour over blonde roast and a delicious Ube Philippine Pastry. They heat up the pastry in house and the coffee was piping hot. Seating was plenty and all the outlets work well for working here. The wifi is fast and reliable, but you need to ask the barista…
