50 Best Cafes near Newport Coast

“The four-bedroom villas are exceptional, with the South Villas offering breathtaking, unobstructed ocean views. The food, service, and staff exceed expectations in every way. The New Year’s Eve dinner was outstanding. An unforgettable stay…. we will absolutely return.“

“A beautiful morning at Crystal Cove...7AM reservation at a table with great views of the ocean and our smiling server, Oscar, welcoming us with strong hot coffees & cream. Perfect. I enjoyed a typical breakfast that was perfectly prepared to my order: poached eggs, extra crispy potatoes & bacon with rye toast and blackberry jam. My lovely partner was overwhelmed by the tasty gigantic "Savory Spinach & Mushroom Crepe". It would easily feed two people. Oscar was very attentive and often stopped by with more hot coffee. Delightful.“

“Cute lil spot with outdoor seating. Food looked great that was rolling out while we waited in queue to our order and get a table. Eggs, omelettes, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, sides, and pancakes. Has a lunch menu too if that's your thing but breakfast goes till 2pm. Highly recommend a visit. We'll be going back to say hi to Billy and try more items off the menu.“

“What a wonderful brunch. We shared the breakfast platter and it was plenty for three people! Well we did have a couple of extras like a spinach boreck and an extra Simit!
Not only is the food wonderful, but the service and the beautiful personalities of the owner and her son and everybody working there was delightful.
Teşekkür ederim! !!
We'll be back.

“Our favorite find!! Every meal was divine and the care and quality is tasted in every bite! Service is 100/10! We adore coming here and can’t wait to be back. Highly recommend the noodle salad, fried chicken, carrot cake, and steak sandwich. And brownie!! I’m sure we’ll slowly make it through the rest of the menu as everything we’ve tried is delicious. Thank you Luis and team for high quality and great value.“

“Great food/drink. Nice patio.“

“Honestly AMAZING! I was skeptical at first because it was in an office space but MAN that breakfast burrito was soooooo good! Exactly what I wanted. Light, good amount of meat and cheese and not greasy. I got a Vietnamese coffee to go with it and it was also delicious! I will be coming back :)“

“Loved their onion soup and their apple tart Ala mode“

“This was my first visit here, it came highly recommended. I was warmly welcomed, the barista explained my mocha/syrup/foam/milk options, and my order was ready quickly. The coffee was delicious and the café is such a vibe! I'll definitely be back.“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

“I recently stopped by Chailo Coffee Club and it did not disappoint. The drinks are seriously good—everything tastes fresh and well-crafted. The sisters who run the place are incredibly friendly and welcoming…. “ You know who you are”, which makes the whole experience even better. The vibe is super chic and stylish, perfect for grabbing coffee and hanging out. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re in Costa Mesa and want a great cup of coffee.“

“My new favorite cafe!! The sitting and ambiance is absolutely stunning, relaxing, and chill. Lots of natural light and open seating with really comfy couches and benches. The coffee is BOMB. Super delicious- I reccomend the Spanish Latte, its my favorite. The baristas and staff are super polite and patient, and are very kind as well. I loveeee Cassel Earth❤️❤️“

“Delicious 🥰familiale belle vague 🌊 beach 🏝️☀️“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in the area, hands down. I work remotely and stop by multiple times a week to get out of the house. They have super fun seasonal drinks, amazing flavored cold foam, and strong high quality coffee. Plus no upcharges for alternative milks. Pastries are delicious and so are their breakfast burritos.

Beyond the fantastic drinks and food, the staff is incredibly nice and part of the reason I keep coming back. Hospitality makes a huge difference, and they're doing it right. Absolutely no notes!“

“I have been to Juliettes at least once every week! This is genuinely the best brunch spot in Newport, and in OC. The staff and service are both very nice and sweet, and the food always hits the spot. I love combining their eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes together (which is my order most of the time), but I decided to try out their breakfast burrito and wow. it was delicious! definitely recommend going to this spot“

“Round two and still obsessed! 🍜✨ We came back to NEP Cafe specifically for their incredible Vietnamese fusion food—they nail that modern twist every single time. The staff is total pro-status, the decor is major eye candy, and it's easily our favorite spot to vibe with family and friends. 10/10 will be back again!“

“Wow. You need to grab a breakfast burrito and a banana cream cold foam iced latte (which they rotate seasonal coffees every few months). Also, a fantastic grab and go cold section to take a quick snack down to the beach. Sundays, Ian whips out the bbq and grills up some incredible smash burgers 10/10. **coming soon, taco Tuesdays. Surfer vibes, bring the fam, come chillax.“

“Loved everything about this place- wait staff was great, and food was delicious. Loved all the colors, flavors and textures of the dishes. We had two kids with us (under the age of 8), so smart to get their food first, and they loved the crayons and coloring book. I got the Beef Belly Bowl and Calamansi White Peach NA drink. So good!“

“Don't miss this wonderful place. Once you try BrioBrio's delicious food, you'll regret you hadn"t discovered It before. Thanks Naoko and Ruichi for feeding our body and soul!!!“

“The owner, Kev is absolutely accomodating! Not to mention every time I've gotten my lunch, the food is so tasty and fresh! They are truly a lifesaver - given I'm at work and always on calls. A lot of their food has a middle eastern twist and it taste soooo good! Its a must-try. You won't be dissapointed at all!“

“Oatmeal wax delicious as well as decaf cappuccino 😁👍“

“For 20 years, after we have a family get together. Its been a tradition that we all have breakfast at the Magnolia Cafe before we all part ways. It’s always clean, the food is always delicious and the service has always been wonderful. It is truly a special establishment!“

“Great food and awesome service! Perfect place for brunch 😋“

“My wife & I have been eating at The Broken Yolk Cafe in Irvine for several years now and we absolutely love the delicious food and the wonderful service, particularly via our regular server Alicia. She has such a positive attitude and shares our love of dogs. She always makes sure to bring our dog Maizie a bowl of water and a pup cup whenever we go there. I cannot recommend this Broken Yolk location and Alicia enough.“

“The chef puts out unique and delicious pizzas, pastas, daily specials and desserts. Very unique location too!“

“Literally just popped in a few minutes ago, Sara made the best Findi Signature w/ light ice I've ever had 🥹😭🙏🏽
Had a rough day so I really needed this, deadass making this spot a priority from now on 🔥💯✨️“

“Perfect place for lunch sandwiches and burritos. All Fresh Dailey Patio dining Great.“

“This place is a retreat, heaven and happy place. I love it all. ❤️🌱“

“Great food and views. recommended“

“1. The coffee drink would definitely add a lot of energy to any day! The sandwich was delicious!
2. The spot has business casual vibes since it is located inside a commercial building! The interior has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! During the lunch rush, my order took about 20 mins!
Note: I did not easily see if this spot has their own restrooms for customers!

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“I chose this experience to celebrate my birthday, and it didn't disappoint. Zack, my waiter, revived me very kindly, and explained to me the whole menu. He understood my personal taste to craft me a cocktail and then I just got immerse in the flavors and the ambience. Thank you very much for the hospitality, I had a great Birthday celebration ???“

“Love it here! New vibe and great people“

“Love the lemon ricotta pancakes here.“

“Nothing is better than fresh croissant! Great family owned place. Very friendly prices. Signature Butter Croissants baked daily. The taste is balances, very mild sweet as I like, texture is between the super fluffy croissant and the bun, I really liked it. The chocolate croissant was a totally different story, check the picture. The taste was like it was baked sometime this week :) and the texture was like it is a bun with chocolate. So do not expect the same excitement from their chocolate croissant as from their signature plain croissants, which are super awesome and could be used for French toast and sandwiches as well and any filling. Next time I will take fresh plain croissant and fill it with chocolates home :) Next time we will try their breakfast / lunch menu. It looks awesome and the customers I met were happy. Update: amazing place with unique home character, loving breakfast here“

“They have the best coffee selection and their food is amazing! Also helps that each location is a cool vibe and their staff is pretty awesome.“

“Wow! What a wonderful brunch. I saw reviews online and picked the restaurant based on that. Otherwise, if driving by, I would have never picked it.

I had the prosciutto and cucumber toast. Normally I'm a straight French toast or pancake person. The toast was phenomenal.

If you haven't been...I highly recommend them.“

“This was the best breakfast experience I've had in a long time. A coworker and I were in town for travel and happened to stop in. Crocker's had amazing food, fantastic customer service and the cutest atmosphere. The bakery items were fresh and warm and their chilaquiles were delicious!“

“Love this place we found! Everything is homemade and it tastes just as such. The ham and cheese pocket, the cold brew with their homemade vanilla cold foam, and their coffee cake, is out of this world. They also even made my kids a homemade chocolate milk. We don’t live here locally but we came almost every day on our trip here this summer, highly recommend.“

“So much fun! Been here multiple times. Had so much fun the first time I had to bring back my adult daughters to check it out. Can’t wait for the next trip.“

“7 Leaves is my go-to for milk tea. This place is beautiful when you walk in, absolutely love the theme.

They have a huge variety of flavors for macarons and milk tea, plus lots of other drinks are served too. My favorite is the Taro milk tea.
The drinks and macarons are very flavorful. A lot of other milk tea I have from different places tastes more watery than the tea at 7 Leaves, they do an excellent job with their drinks.

However the macarons are a little bit out of the expected price range, but still worth trying out!

The service is very nice and hardworking, keeping the place clean, and most importantly, having customers leave satisfied!“

“It’s a hidden gem in Irvine where I like to go for breakfast or lunch whenever I am visiting Irvine. There’s limited parking but I have never had trouble finding. The outdoor seating area is so nice and relaxing. I prefer that over their indoor dining space.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Service was amazing and food was great! I’m in a food coma with the sample Mimosas that put me into the coma“

“Always enjoy staying at the Waldorf Astoria. Nice escape, great location, attentive staff. Perfect getaway.“

“First time here, great service and yummy food. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone had a warm smile to welcome us in. We will definitely be back“

“Service and breakfast was excellent“
