Love their coffee! The seatings are limited so I got it to go this time. It’s nice that they use clear to go containers so I can make sure I get the right item. I ordered online and they’ll put it on the side when it’s ready for you to pick up with your name on it! I usually sit down but wanted to go to the beach to eat so yup! Food was still delicious! I always stop here when I am in the area. Beware.. parking is a bit hard because this coffee spot is in a plaza! Lots of shops to walk around.

We went here for coffee and to do a little work on our laptops. Ended up getting the avocado toast with locks on it and it was incredible. The coffee was really good as well. My wifes latte that she got was also delicious. Its a cute little spot and its a great place to hang out, do some work and have a coffee. Its a place Ill definitely come back to

Good ambience and clean setup for a cafe. You can take coffee outside and drink at the terrace as well

This place has a great ambiance and they have a unique design. Very refreshing place and it is quiet. All of the staff are attentive and accommodating. The price of the coffee and the foods was a little bit pricey but it was all worth it. It would be one of the reasons why should I come back here again! Thank you very much and keep up the good work always.

We were very happy to receive great espresso, latte, and hot chocolate at this coffee shop, rather than the usual American brewed. The cakes were also brilliant and not the usual high fructose corn syrup infused fare one finds in this country. They also had some healthy food and drink options. Very nice atmosphere and service were very friendly. We plan to return on future trips!

For the very first time, this coffee shop got the spelling of my name right. The coffee here is so good and their chocolate cake is just the right amount of sweetness. Usually a busy place. Great for lounging and have conversations with friends. The staff also is very cool, energetic, and smiling. Highly recommended!

A massive industrial area where their staff of super-talented baristas makes some of the greatest coffees. Theres a strong sense of camaraderie here, and when paired with the bright, airy atmosphere, youre likely to settle down and have a second cup someplace. And if youre not a coffee drinker, youll be addicted if you try it, and then youll be a coffee drinker. Must give it a shot!

Im not sure what it is that I love so much about this place, but its a great place if you want a coffee shop experience. Their coffee is solid, but I think its the atmosphere that is amazing.honestly, I may go elsewhere for a quick cup on the run. But, when I want to enjoy a cup of coffee, this is a great place.

Excellent breakfast/coffee spot. Loved the iced matcha almond latte with honey and their coffee lavender latte. They way they make the scrabbled eggs for the toasts is perfect.

This is the place to go if youre looking for a coffee shop with delicious desserts! Within the room, there is free WiFi and a smoking area (if youre a smoker). The waiters and waitresses are usually enthusiastic and courteous. There was coffee available, and the food was delicious. Its a decent deal with a fun environment!

Review №17

Their coffee is so good and very affordable! They also have a menu so that you can pair it up to your coffee. The freshly baked pieces of bread, pies, and cakes from here were so delicious and affordable. The place is a bit tiny, but it can accommodate a bunch of people. A must visit!

Nice and relaxed atmosphere. I had a latte and chorizo breakfast burrito, my wife had a mocha the smoked avocado toast (in picture). No complaints on the drinks! The burrito was fantastic and very filling and the coffee was made well.

Tried the Chamomile tea- great flavor, best Ive had so far. I am gluten sensitive and they quickly made a recommendation to substitute the toast for hashbrowns. Genius idea! Loved every bite!

The coffee in itself is some of the best cold brews you can get. Not only is the coffee great, but you can sample as many as you like until you find one you love. The staff is also extra friendly and super helpful in finding a coffee you love.

Kit is one of my all times favorites. I now live in NYC, but am originally from Newport Beach. I have to admit, this spot competes with all the high end coffee locales Ive tried in the city. Whether you are looking for solid espresso, quality tea, amazingly satisfying breakfast, or the rarest single origin pour over you can find, Kit has it all.The open concept design, minimalistic aesthetic and natural light makes Kit a wonderful place for reading, studying, work, or catching up with a friend. I often meet people here and end up staying awhile. I never feel rushed and always enjoy my experience. There is free wifi and restrooms as well. Parking can be a challenge on weekend, but for the most part it is very easily assessable. The line may be long but it goes pretty quickly. I love the staff. Very personable and friendly. The coffee buyer, Josh, is a great friend of mine and we have bonded over coffee talks over the years.Kit is a great addition to the OC coffee scene and a fantastic small business. Love it!!

This coffee shop is amazing with everything the service is perfect, and the staffs are very welcoming! The coffee here tastes better than the other well-known coffee shop in the city. They serve a variety of food options as well. I will add this place to my fave coffee shop now, and recommend to all of all my friends who love coffee!

Nice ambience. Outlets and seating are limited. Music might be too loud for some people inside so I prefer outdoor seating. Drinks are okay. Ive tried their latte, matcha and cold brew. Only the latte gave me an impression. A bit more expensive than other places.

The food was great as well - good flavor, good portions, and good prices. We ordered the zesty ricotta pancakes, the chicken and waffles, and fried chicken benedict. The chicken was so juicy and the waffles and pancakes were very soft and fluffy. For three people, we finished everything and left feeling stuffed!

First time visit..coffee prices very reasonable. Has the cilantro lime fried rice- excellent! Moderate price but good for the area. The horchata mate kind of men but the London Fog was good. Nice outdoor patio..we would go back

If youre looking for a quiet place to work, this coffee shop is the best to go to. From good coffee to free wi-fi, they also have outlets perfect for work. The space is clean, relaxed, and seemed to offer a perfect space for socializing, working on a laptop, reading a book, or just watching the world pass by. I will definitely come back here soon.

Good coffee, good place to study.The coffee is pretty decent, but very expensive for a college student like myself. Its a shame that Kean is so close otherwise Id say it was the best in the area.Its a decent place to study, with a couple outlets for those who need to charge. Id say that the tables near the outlets make it a little difficult to study at, but the outdoor tables are an awesome place to study at.Id recommend it more, but its so close to Kean coffee, which has better vibes and better coffee :(

I asked the barista to pick out a breakfast and coffee for me of her choice.She recommended yuzu honey ricotta toast and caramel latte.Two great choices with a beautiful interior.Service was fast.One complaint would be lack of indoor seating. I typically hate to sit outside but luckily it was another beautiful sunny socal day!

Friendly staff and good coffee. If you are looking for a quick in an out or a spot to meet and catch up with a friend, this is the place. However there is a severe lack of seating and workspace. If you are looking for a coffee shop to settle down at with your laptop or a book, this is not the place.They also have great avocado toast!Food: 9/10Drink: 8/10Environment: 8/10Staff: 7/10

A hip new spot in the Newport Beach area. Great coffee and tea with a simple clean menu. The place has a good modern vibe with amazing natural light and high ceilings. Its a great place to post up and work a little or just catch a coffee with friends. Lots of freelancers and students hang out here. The food is also surprisingly good.

Great coffee and breakfast/lunch. They have a small menu but everything is healthy and delicious. Their breakfast burrito is my fave but I sometimes branch out and have the soft scramble on avocado toast. Friendly staff, a relaxed vibe and modern decor - highly recommend.

Review №67

First timer from Texas. Smooth as silk. This is what those retail coffee stores wish they could grow up to be! Cappuccino, vanilla latte, & chai tea latte for our group. Tops all around. Then a bag of Ethiopian beans to take home and pour over. If youre close, and you love high end coffee, then dont miss this place! Enjoy! SW

Review №68

Rich, powerful coffee with no artificial flavors like the big chain coffee houses.People say this place is plain.. Its not, its simple.. Simple menu. Simple size, simple pricing. But the product is very complex. I had the Ethiopian straight and it was as complex and a 20 dollar bottle of wine. The cappuccino equally as impressive. Good energy people making good energy food. I will definitely be back.

Nice place with decent coffee but a bit pricey. They have a vast selection of coffee types, sources, roasts and brewing techniques. They also have a limited but good food selection and a small boutique type of section with fun useful items for sale. Plenty of parking in the mall but it can get busy at certain times of the day and during weekends.

Awesome coffee, and incredibly kind staff! However, I never order the toast anymore. 😬 It always takes soooo long to make that I’m usually done with my coffee by the time it comes. Such a great atmosphere and highly recommend for the coffee!

Good coffee and pastries but its overpriced. $10 for a coldbrew and a cookie. Great customer service. Their interior is clean but their lobby needs to be better kept. The walls by the bars are dirty from peoples shoes, etc.

The coffee is great, the ambience is awesome and the staff are all friendly and super helpful. Plus, the 8 dishes they serve (including avocado toast) are exceptional! Amazing for a light brunch, if thats your thing.I spend hours here working - the wifi is great. Also $1 refills on coffee. Winning.

Kit Coffee is one of the best third-wave coffee places in Orange County. Modern, Scandanavian-style decor, upbeat and contemporary atmosphere, excellent coffee and a few decent food choices to round out the experience. Staff are friendly and stylish. Service is good too. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Being a popular place, it can be a little hard to find a freshly bussed and cleaned table, but overall one of the best options for a trendy coffee in Orange County.

Review №77

Nice atmosphere. Delicious tea.My second visit was odd. I ordered an iced tea, easy ice. When it was ready, my iced tea was filled with ice. The employee then asked if i wanted light ice so i said yes. She then proceeded to take out the ice piece by piece with a small spoon while I was standing there waiting. I was working on something on my laptop so I had to go back to finish something up. But she never called my name again to let me know it was done. My tea was a lot colder than what I wanted.

Review №78

Coffee isn’t bad at all. Their food options are also pretty good. It can be hard to find at first but it’s worth the time to take a look. They aren’t as crowded as their neighbors, Kéan Coffee, but they are just as good.

Fantastic espresso. Simple menu, just the basics coffee-wise (ie.its good). Didnt try the breakfast but the place was busy busy. Two choices of beans for espresso, with shots pulled superbly. Steamed milk was well textured and subtlely sweet. Oh and you can sit and enjoy your coffee in a real cup if youd like. A+

Review №94

Im absolutely obsessed with their lattes. I always get almond milk lattes everywhere and theirs are always so creamy and delicious. Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars (this is me being nit picky) is because any food order takes a very long time. The avocado toast is delicious, but takes a super long time to get.

Review №95

I can definitely say that my experience at kit coffee was a pleasantly surprising one One of the great things I love is the ambiance in this area its very nice down to earth chill music and The people that work there also to be very knowledgeable as well as pretty nice I do like that they have a really deep focus one coffee as in the flavor of the beans end of the coffee itself its not too much of a throw a lot of sugar and syrups in the coffee and there you go they truly feel like a decent coffee place for a coffee connoisseur as well as I do like that they have a seasonal drink that changes that is something that you wont find at a dunkin donuts I would say if youre looking for a nice place to chill in the area and have some coffee they may not be super sweet I would say to check out this place

Ga
Review №98

Food is great but be prepared not to have a chair inside to enjoy the food. They allow anyone who buys a cup of coffee to occupy three chairs, a table (one of only three) and a computer outlet for hours! No time limit Causing people, especially older people to sit on small stools at communal tables. It doesnt make sense to drive away business. Once they go out of business, those table hogs will just move on to another location. They dont care about supporting a good business and the good business is afraid to ask for a compromise.

Great coffee. Beautiful decor. One size, European style coffee. Loud/ echo inside, not a lot of comfortable seating. Outside seating is nice but limited

Taking a break here with a friend is a definitely go. The only thing its missing is an ocean view but the gorgeous set up, and plenty of outdoor seating makes this place a charming meeting spot.
