Great location and such a cute environment. My bff and I got 1 thing and split both of them. We got the brunch bowl and brioche French toast. I thought the brunch bowl would be more small bites but overall everything was good.

Great place to stop and get some breakfast. I tried the French toast and it was absolutely delicious. The truffle fries are some of the best fries I’ve ever had as they were super crispy and tasted very very fresh.

First time at this hidden Cafe. The outdoor seating was pleasant. The staff was super friendly! I brought my dog with me for brunch and the staff offered to bring out a dog bowl with water. The menu has 3 items for dogs as well. Pictured in my post is the puppy cake.

I recently tried the Apple Brie sandwich and French dip at this establishment. While the sandwiches were decent, they fell short of my expectations. The French dip lacked flavor, and the accompanying dip tasted like plain broth. However, the saving grace was the incredible sweet potato fries, which were accompanied by delicious ranch dressing. Among all the items, these stood out as the highlight. Unfortunately, the overall experience was underwhelming and left me wanting more flavor. I would rate it a 6/10 and likely won’t be returning. On a positive note, the service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. Perhaps their breakfast options are better, but based on my sandwich experience, I’m hesitant to give it another try.

Took a drive with my daughter and wife to get a nice brunch. Found this place and what a pleasant surprise. Sat outside, intimate and cozy setting with a live reggae band playing. Took only 7-10 minutes from the time we ordered to receiving our food. Very impressed with the cooks and food quality. Everything tasted great. Will definitely be going back. Worth the 50 min. drive for us.

Absolutely love this place! Total hidden gem. The food is amazing and we just recently found out they do dinner too. Love the outside seating vibe! Super kid and dog friendly. We had dinner there a few months ago and everything was so good! The strawberry salad was insane and all the pasta dishes were really really good! We just recently celebrated our one year olds birthday and normally we do a Whole Foods cake but this year we ordered from What a Dish – the cake was beautiful and was delivered quickly and so tasty – everyone loved it! We’ll be doing our birthday cakes here from now on for sure!

Delicious breakfast and excellent service! We had the chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and breakfast bowl, followed by a delicious brownie. Everything was phenomenal! The staff was extremely attentive and worked together as a team. The outdoor atmosphere was cozy and we love that it is dog friendly! We will definitely be back soon!

What a Dish is a hidden Gem in Dana Point! Close to the Marina, plenty of parking all around. Easy access by mains streets. The only spot in the shopping complex that offers authentic Patio Dinning! Plenty of Heaters available.

A perfect cake to celebrate 95 long years with the family! The cake was delicious. Made from the freshest ingredients! Not overwhelmingly sweet and heavy ❤️

Counter service, order inside then sit outside, food was very good. Nice portions. Ordered Beef Dip was tasty, my wife ordered Eggs Benedict, heard no complaints, ordered Bloody Mason, it was huge. Mimosa less so.
