50 Best Coffee Shops near Newport Coast

“Coffee itself is better than Parakeet. Parakeet makes great lattes. The surrounding establishments are so great. View is wonderful too. There are no weird neighbors like Dana point. Everyone is dolled up to ear and best behaving. Depression is nowhere near here. A nice location definitely.“

“The staff remember you and are genuinely friendly. Superfast and efficient service also. I never see them get upset or frustrated. I love this place. They are great!“

“Great service & always top notch with all the beverages & food!“

“For reference, I usually don’t like coffee and generally prefer tea as a drink. That being said, I come here semi-often for roasted beans as gifts for other people, and the service is A+++ immaculate every time. I’m not knowledgeable about coffee beans but the workers will gladly answer any of your questions about the myriad of beans they have on display. They’ll also roast the beans for you, which will take about ~10 minutes or so.

I’ve also had one of their iced coffees and I loved the taste (though caffeine makes me hyper so I usually don’t drink anything with it that much). Highly highly recommend!!!“

“Got a cortado and Spanish coffee. Espresso was well balanced and milk was steamed perfectly. As a coffee enthusiast the small details matter a lot to me and I can say this is a solid spot for good coffee. Wish I could come here more often. Love from Seattle!“

“We discovered this place when visiting Laguna in February…. So glad we did! Love the owners and what they represent. Loved so much we purchased a monthly subscription so we can enjoy their amazing coffee all the way in Alabama!“

“Was craving some quality coffee in Orange County and was recommended this little place. I’m glad a gave it a try, because honestly this is some of the best coffee I’ve ever had, regardless of county/state/country. The service is always top notch and the drinks never disappoint. There are plenty of other coffee houses nearer to where I live, but this one is easily worth the longer drive.“

“It was our first time here
It was more than our expectation
Food was delicious, you could taste home made food
The pastry was fresh and you could taste good ingredients
Service was also great
We really enjoyed our meal
Thank you“

“Love this coffee shop! Friendly staff and amazing baked goods. They have an excellent coffee menu too.“

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!“

“This is a very charming café that, in my opinion, serves coffee with a strong and bold flavor. I also appreciate that they offer a decaf option.
Additionally, they have a small merchandise section where you can buy some clothing, hats, tote bags, and more.
Also, they have nice tables outside and inside.“

“What an absolute gem! I absolutely adore their coffee and breakfast burritos—they’re simply irresistible. The vibe inside is so welcoming and delightful, making every visit a pleasure. The staff are incredible too; they’re always attentive and add to the overall wonderful experience. I can’t wait for my next visit. Highly recommend checking it out! ?“

“O.B is the only coffee shop in OC who HAS NOT BURNT my espresso!! The iced latte is delicious simply with organic milk and a little maple. NO pretentious hipster energy here unlike many other shops around town. For the people who love nerding out on coffee, you'll love this place“

“Can’t wait for you guys to open!!!“

“Good coffee/latte people are nice location is convenient“

“Very good coffee above corporate level, coffee institutions.“

“Drinks here are actually really good, high quality tea and nuoc mia. I don't think the atmosphere is good, they need to redesign and do a deep cleaning. I wouldn't come here to hangout but it is good for takeout. Parking can be limited, very small space in the back.“

“Working out may seem impossible when you have children, but not with Fit4Mom. You can bring your children from newborns to toddlers to even your older kids in elementary school to stroller strides or barre. The workouts are fun and interactive as we sing and exercise in front of the children. Meeting other moms in the same stages of childhood is helpful when you get to go through motherhood together. Strength in motherhood is key with Fit4Mom and you can’t beat working out at the beach! Sunblock, sunglasses and strides! Join our village!“

“Excellent high quality coffee, one of a kind flavor, plus very speedy delivery.“

“I’m a major fan of local coffee shops that show creativity and care about their product. The server was polite, informative and surprisingly fast with our order. The drinks and breakfast sandwich were delicious and although the atmosphere is nothing special it’s a pleasant spot to meet.“

“This place has, hands down, the best Açaí bowl in Laguna. The Uppers bowl with a protein base and chia pudding added has been my go-to breakfast for like 2 weeks now. Cooper has been awesome, super friendly and makes some awesome bowls. 10 / 10 would recommend.“

“Don't listen to the lonely negative review! I get my bowl made to my preference every time (unlike Craig Peters' post below). The staff ALWAYS respects my request to substitute blueberries for strawberries due to allergic reactions. Delicious and healthy, and never a hassle.“

“Omomo Matcha Taste so good“

“Delicious coconut oatmeal iced coffee the barista made me!“

“The jasmine milk tea here is truly wonderful! The natural and pleasant aroma of jasmine combined with the sweetness of milk creates an interesting experience for the taste buds. Each sip of the tea makes me feel light and happy!“

“Best oat milk chagachuga - thank you“

“This is my favorite coffee in Orange County and I’m a coffee snob!!

First of all, they use organic coffee beans and organic whole milk as an automatic in the lattes!! This is literally my dream come true.

Each time I go, it feels like that small mom and pop coffee spot where you can have a convo with the barista and feel like it’s home.

The location is perfect. You have a view of the ocean and a few chairs and small tables to sit and drink with the view.

Whenever I’m on this side of OC, you’ll find me grabbing a 10oz latte from Equator.“

“This cafe and Juice bar STOLE our hearts! A MUST when in San Diego and La Jolla. I mean, WOOOOWWW! We were able to sneak in a quick breakfast before our whale tour at the Little Italy location, and thank goodness we did! My only regret is not visiting every single day for their exceptional breakfast and high-quality juices! I ordered the All I Avo Wanted - Blue corn, waffle, smashed avocado, feta, shaved radish, over easy egg, chili flakes, hemp seeds, salsa macha. I mean, holy moly. The delivery was beautifully executed and built perfectly. The blue corn waffle was moist yet firm. My mother ordered the Shakshuka - another favorite dish of mine that WOWed. You can not go wrong with Parakeet. Thank you to the divine chefs and baristas - you made Parakeet the most beloved restaurant during our time in California!!!“

“Based on my first visit: Flat white was great, but weirdly not very hot for a hot drink. It took over 10 mins for a flat white to go on a Sunday morning. Not toooooo bad or unexpected but i wouldn’t come at that time again for a to go…There’s not a great place to wait so i felt awkward, in the way and like it took longer than it did. Vibe was great for those sitting down. Lots of cute dogs. Food coming out looked amazing. I got two muffins to go (one gluten free) and they were both really dry - wouldn’t get a muffin again. I also got the camp cookie. It’s sooo good.

If I go in the future, I’ll try an off peak time, sitting down and /or food off the made to order menu.“

“Love this place! Ideal cafe with awesome coffee tea and snacks! The staff here are cool and friendly as well. We love stopping by here every chance we get.

Stay awesome!

Parking: Parking with validation“

“Amazing coffee shop! First time here and staff was really helpful and recommended several drinks. Breakfast burrito is delicious. I tried the Honey Cinnamon Hot Latte and Strawberry white mocha Latte and both were delicious! ?
D-LO recommended ??

“Relaxing environment right off of PCH“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“The ube soft serve and souffle pancakes were amazing. Some rude lady brought in a dog and lied to the staff about it being a service dog and demanded a refund for her drink, but that's not on the establishment. The staff was excellent and very polite.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Crack Coffee for the win!“

“the black sesame mochidonut i got was cute and delicious, and the staff were all super nice! the sanitary conditions seem great, and i’ll definitely come back again sometime in the future. i’ll try a different flavor next time to see how it differs!“

“One of the better ones out there..“

“Awesome little coffee spot that I stumbled upon. Noticed mostly every food option in this strip mall seemed top notch. James, the barista, whipped up a great flat white and white mocha. Seems like a really nice place to do some work too. Will be back!“

“I literally stumbled in to WIP or waiting for some service on my car. I feel fortunate to have found this perfect spot. Obviously more than a coffee joint - it’s smart, stylish and engagingly current. Populated by an intriguing, vibrant and smart crowd.“

“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:)“

“The staff were so friendly. As a student group from the University of Northern Colorado. We appreciated their kindness and great drinks.“

“I have been here few times and it’s one of my favorite local Vietnamese eatery to me! I got the pork belly salad and the grilled pork bánh mì. I love that for the salad you have side sauces to dip or pour into the salad bowl at the amount you want and the bánh mì is very flavorful and pack of flavor in each bite. I also got the strawberry lemonade, Vietnamese coffee, banana pudding, and a chocolate chip cookie. All perfectly sweetened and no disappointment. Will definitely come back and staff was very efficient and friendly upon arrival!

It’s an intimate little eatery and great for small groups to hang, eat, and have a great time.“

“Great view, amazing employees, and awesome vanilla latte. I highly recommend. Great vibe!“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“Stopped in right when they opened. The batista was friendly and fast.

I ordered a cappuccino and the spinach artichoke pasty. Both were good, so I'll definitely be back to try what else they have to offer.

The shop is bright, and the wooden map on the wall is fun to view while you wait.“

“The owners have done a nice job fixing up this space. It's warn and inviting and features a great outdoor patio area. I like their cappuccinos and they have a friendly knowledgable staff.“

“I came across this little cafe while I was in the area and thought to check it out. Unexpectedly was met by the owner of the shop who shared coffee with me. The expresso was well balanced and the vienna roast was very good. I would recommend you check it out if you are looking for quality beans :“

“Been going weekly for 3 decades. Enjoying all of the coffee drinks, all types of homemade food, so many desserts, beach atmosphere, easy parking and lovely staff over the years❤️“

“I like to support local businesses when I can. This coffee shop is very popular with the locals and their dogs. It's in a small unassuming shopping center that has decent free parking. The shop is very small and busy in the early morning, so we got our items to go. I tried an iced spicy chai latte with whole milk. It was pretty delicious. The next day I tried an iced vanilla latte and was not impressed. Very bland and tasted more like an unsweet iced coffee. I would not get that one again. Prices are typical for lattes. My friend got a regular hot coffee and said it was just ok. 5 star for my spicy chai. I'd go back again for that.“
