    It lived up to the hype. We were early birds and got there @ 7am (Sunday) which apparently is before the rush. The waffles were delightful. When we left @ 730 (yup got our food quickly) there was still table availability but filling fast

    Location:Good, Parking:Okay, Service:Good, Food for Price:Good. Overall, stopped here on a whim to see what they had. The line was already out the door and moving at a decent pace. They had only one cashier when two would of helped with the line. Menu on the wall was easy to read prices seemed fair. Food came out at a decent time. The lava pancakes were awesome as well as the strawberry crepes. I will go back again...

    Great breakfast/brunch place in Laguna. We went on a Thursday morning and it was busy, but the service was still very quick. Their omelettes are great. We had the avocado and veggie one. Omelettes were tasty and cooked to perfection. Both come with sides so we each got pancakes. They were so yummy and had just the right fluffiness. Prices are very reasonable and portions are huge! We weren’t able to finish our meal between the two of us. Staff is friendly and helpful. Outdoor ambience is clean and nice as well. Overall highly recommend!

    Great brunch if you want some ono grinds or typical American dishes. This time around I wanted to try the burger as I've had the pancakes and Hawaii style dishes. The burger was large, juicy and had good mouth feel as I was chowing down. There was nothing left on my plate and my stomach was full. Tried the ube latte as well and it was creamy and not too sweet.

    I've been coming here on my days off (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) for almost a year now, and every single time I am always Delighted and Satisfied. The food is always fresh, delicious and prompt. The staff are always friendly, courteous and professional, with warm welcoming smiles. Now that I live within 2 miles it's become a part of my daily routine of walking/running and my enjoyment of Dana Point Lifestyle. Do yourself a favor and make the time to try as many items as possible. They're ALL AMAZING.

    This a great place for breakfast. The food is always fresh and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I had the French toast which was excellent and the bacon was good but not great. I would still recommend Stacks for breakfast.

    I can’t imagine any other dish that would not taste great as the ones I had this morning. Every single item was delicious. The establishment has a friendly vibe and one the friendliest staff . Definitely worth the wait in line. You need to order first before you take your sit at a table. This might seem a bit of a hassle, but there seemed an easy flow of people getting up after finishing their meals and people were able to obtain tables before they received their food. I also had an order of crepes. It was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture.

    Stacks in Dana Point doesn't disappoint with a vast menu and plenty of seating inside and out. Today I ordered an off-menu pancake - banana chocolate chip pancakes. OMG delightful! The coffee was very good, though a little strong for me. My boyfriend ordered a sausage and egg breakfast burrito. It was huge and yummy. With tip we spent $35, a great value!

    Overall, what a great place. Very good system you’re in you’re out you’re on your way. I forgot to take a picture so instead of post a picture of my beautiful wife post breakfast.

    Incredible place. Stopped by randomly on the way down to San Diego. Wide variety of food options and great staff. Everyone’s food looked amazing!

  • 5/5 Ally H. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is so darling and quaint! We sat out on the patio which was really fun but also slightly loud because the Pacific Coast Highway is right next to you! I had the oatmeal which was really really good! The fresh fruit on top was such a good addition and I loved the texture of the oatmeal! I will definitely be returning!

    First time here, dog friendly patio. Tried the spicy chicken & waffles and eggs Benedict. Both were very good! The Maui Ice Tea was SO GOOD!!!

    We went on a Sunday at brunch time when they were super busy, and the service was incredibly fast! Which was great because we had a hungry toddler. The smoothies are excellent and dairy-free. It was hard to decide what to order; I wanted one of everything! Some really unique pancake and waffle options but also they have the classics. You can’t get a table until you order, then you get a number and it’s a free for all situation, but it was fine because the food comes out so fast they turn over tables quickly. A waitress walked around filling up our coffees all throughout the meal which was awesome!

    Great menu with a lot of Hawaiian inspired options. Order at the counter, the food is brought to the table. Iced ube latte was delicious. Food came out in 4 separate visits, but the wait wasn't too bad. It's a casual eating spot.

    10/10 recommended. There were 4 of us in our party and this is the first place that we’ve all mutually agreed that the food was amazing and the service was very attentive! Will be back tomorrow!

    Delicious pancakes! Lots of options and opportunities to be creative. Banana Mac a personal favorite. Oreo is fun too if you need an extra sugar boost.

    Great breakfast place not too far from the Dana Point baby beach. This place can get very busy so plan to go early or be fine to wait. They do have a free parking lot located above the restaurant. Indoor seating is limited but lot of outdoor tables available. Lot of breakfast options here. Their French toast and crepes are delicious. Overall a great place to get good breakfast in the morning.

    Amazing place, definitely need to try the pancakes, not to take away from everything they serve, but the pancakes were amazing. Their Veggie omelette with their home style potatoes was pretty good along with their California omelette and short stack pancakes. Friendly and fast service.

    What an amazing little spot to come have some food. They have quite a variety of options and we wanted breakfast. You need to order the food inside and the staff will bring it to you once it is ready. They provide you with a number to set on the table. Staff was pretty quick to clean tables after customers left in order to open up tables for the next group to sit. The view is beautiful.
