Part Parcel Market - Dana Point

More hotels should offer this kind of place! The doors open early and the very friendly staff serve a good variety of breakfast and lunch options as well as Starbucks coffee, smoothies etc. I stopped for breakfast on-the-go for five days in a row and didn't have to repeat a breakfast item! The food was surprisingly good considering it's a fast take-out outlet. Great way to start the day!

This restaurant is better suited for a quick breakfast on the go, but I found it to be quite overpriced. They charged $7 for coffee and $10 for a yogurt parfait. I ordered two coffees, orange juice, a parfait, and a baked good, and my total came to $50. The food didn’t seem fresh, except for the parfait (though I’m not entirely convinced that was fresh either). If you have a car, I recommend leaving the resort and checking out one of the many local breakfast spots in Dana Point, which are just a few miles away. We would have done that if we hadn’t been short on time this morning.

The pastries are outstanding—truly exceptional. On the first day, the service was somewhat disorganized, likely because a number of the staff were in training. However, the second day was a completely different experience; it couldn't have been better—quick, efficient, and seamless.

Monarch Bay Resort features one of the earliest openings, which includes a Starbucks—although it doesn't offer the full menu. You'll also find a few typical tourist souvenirs. A tip: don't miss out on their fresh cinnamon rolls available each morning; they're quite delicious!

Okay, so I know everything is overpriced and it is expected because it is in the waldorf. but listen to me. I will say that I personally enjoyed the icy vanilla latte. all the pastries we tried were delicious from the cinnamon rolls to the mandels and nutella croissants. we also have the breakfast burrito, that was just okay. I like that they sold juice, got orange juice and split it between my children. the girls who worked there were great and helpful. they didn't care to make me 3 times a bit water so I could dilute the juice for my children. I try not to give them too much sugar, especially knowing that we are on vacay, and they will get a tonne more sugar at another place. what to see under lol I came back later on the afternoon for another icy vanilla latte, but ended with the note of eises. Single-cube is $5, so we decided to go for the double buttons for $7. scoops are big and arome are delicious! I thought it was worth it! we tried coffee, pistachios, cookies and cream, chocolate and the strawberry was extra delicious! this place is also like a gift shop as they have sold magnets that have monarch beach, so there are a lot of things if they wanted to bring a souvenir to home or buy a gift. they have postcards for $1 and they also sell a plant plushie for $62.50 to sugafina rubberes so there is a great selection of gifts and tasty. I didn't get pictures of our witness. we're on the photos so I don't post. I still say, look at it without my photos.
