2 Popular Dana Point Cafes Set To Close

DANA POINT, CA — Two popular South Orange County cafes are slotted to close by the end of the year.

Maison Cafe and Doheny Cafe — two beloved Dana Point eateries — will close their doors at the end of the year, with Dec. 24 slated as the final day of operation.

Chef-owner Danielle Kuhn announced the closures on the restaurants' social media platforms.

"What a hard post to post, but after seven years of serving you, as you filled our seats and our hearts, Maison and Doheny Cafe will be closing at the end of the year," she said. "This was such a hard decision to make, but one that we know is the best for now. Maison will open again one day and she will shine brighter than ever."

According to Kuhn, the closures of the cafes trace back to the changing landscape of the restaurant industry.
