Such a gem of a coffee spot! This cute little neighborhood café has quickly become one of my go-tos. They have a lot of different flavors so you can customize your cold foam. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Their cold brew is bold but super smooth no bitterness at all 👏 and they have tons of great milk options from Straus. The vibe is welcoming, perfect for grabbing a quick morning coffee or hanging out for a bit. You can tell they care about quality and the small details. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want something that feels local and special! 🌿☕️✨

I absolutely love this coffee shop. I first discovered it when I lived in Costa Mesa And couldn’t get enough. Now that I live in Huntington Beach I still make the treck multiple times a week because I am addicted! I’ve tried so many different coffee, shops around Huntington and Costa Mesa and nothing comes close. I’m not sure what they do different. Whether it’s the beans they use the attention to detail for the ultra fresh ingredients they use every drink I’ve had is outstanding.

I’ve tried multiple coffee shops while visiting Newport Beach. Nothing comes close to Original Barista. Their handmade syrups and strong coffee offers the perfect blend of sweet and bold. I will 100% be stopping here every time I’m in town!

Coffee Americano wasn’t good, Latte was good so mixed a little of that into the Americano, bread was hollow. I was disappointed that it was hollow with no filling in it. :(

I visited this coffee shop for the first time and had a cappuccino with oat milk — it was absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed the rich, smooth flavor of the coffee itself. The service was very friendly, and I loved the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I loved this place. My wife was not the biggest fan. The difference for us was the flavor of the coffee. She likes Starbucks style, super sweet with a ton of extra stuff. I like coffee. This place has very strong tasting coffee and I loved it. The pastries are delicious and the people are very nice. Just note that if you want candy coffee, you're gonna have to ask for an extra pump or whatever.
I wish I had a better review for this place, but I'm only talking about their matcha latte. It looks like this store is mainly focused on coffee which I don't have anything against, but I opted to see how their matcha was since I was in the area. The Baristas didn't know too much about what type of matcha they offered. So I just ordered whatever was on the menu and paid attention while they were making the drink. It was made with a powder mixed in with milk but you could barely taste the matcha and the powder wasn't mixed that well. Considering that I paid a little bit more for the drink to make it larger, kind of felt like a waste since it was very watery. I'm sure this place has good coffee since all of the equipment they're using and beans that they choose seem pretty good. It's just funny that they do have on display a matcha whisk and Bowl on top of the expresso Brewer and they don't use those two things for the matcha. Maybe if it's not there specialty they can just remove it from the menu or at least remove it from their Decor lol. Other than that it seems like a nice face, the parking probably would be hard to find if there's a lot of people since it's pretty small.

I ordered an Americano with cinnamon. It was delicious actually. I know that's a simple drink but some places use not so good beans. Staff was friendly and helpful
