Got the Iced VTM and it was honestly amazing. Super strong, sweet, and pretty much everything you want in a good coffee. Only downside was it was like ~ 70% ice so I'd definitely recommend getting easy ice. Service was great, the ambiance was chill, and overall I'd say it's a better coffee spot than their next-door competitor. read more

I was accustomed to the Starbucks that was in this location, but I think the change to Blk Dot is good. I like the coffee and there's a good variety of drinks. Parking can be a hassle if you don't get there early, but it's okay, the lot is large. The service has always been good, even when crowded. read more

I have been on a Vietnamese coffee kick and when I yelped Vietnamese coffee near me, this place popped up. Coffee was delicious! I like that you could buy singles and the cream that was kind of cool. The location is in a nice area of Newport and the inside was very clean.(and busy) and the outside was gorgeous. I will say I'm still giving it a five star review, but the service was not very friendly at all. I always expect places with a more unique menu to ask you if you have any questions, I knew exactly what I was getting the VTM (and I wish it came in a three XL). I guess I was just hoping for more personability and a you're welcome.... Overall, when on vacation next year, I will certainly be getting another coffee. read more

Can't go wrong with Blk Dot coffee! The Vietnamese coffee is smooth but still strong and chai latte is one of the best I've had. Friendly service and lots of seating indoors and outside. My husband and I love to share the brekkie bowl after a morning hike, it's delicious! read more

Upscale coffee shop in Newport Coast - stopped by with friends to meet an old mentor yesterday morning for brunch. I ordered a matcha latte and a fiesta bowl ($21.78 before tip) and enjoyed both. We sat indoors as the outside tables were occupied and caught up on life, health and the secret to happiness. The parking lot was quite full. The good citizens of Orange County had driven over in their finest automobiles on this fine Sunday morning. Among the Bentleys and Lamborghinis I spotted my favorite - a powder blue Porsche 1956 convertible 356 Speedster - and I smiled! Will be back! read more

If you're in the Crystal Cove area and in need of a caffeine boost, this place has great drinks especially if you're into Vietnamese coffee. Blk Dot has a few locations in OC but this is one of the nicest ones being in the Crystal Cove shopping center right along PCH with the ocean just across the way. On a weekday morning it was quiet and my order was ready right away. They're known for Vietnamese coffee, but they have other coffee and tea drinks too. I had their Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte ($7.95/large) and it was very refreshing. I could taste the citrus yuzu and it had the right amount of sweetness. It was perfect with whole milk but you can also sub for other milks. They have some tables inside as well as outside. It's a nice spot to grab coffee with a friend or do some work. read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Large Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte (IG: @christal.light) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Coast, California

Blk Dot is a solid coffee shop. They boast a great independent coffee shop vibe and an upscale feel to the place, while also capitalizing on a wide offering of Vietnamese Coffee, which is something a lot of independent coffee shops don't offer. The service here was quick and concise, the baristas were friendly and helpful with ordering and were exactly what you should expect from a craft coffee shop. There wasn't anything overtly special about the mocha that I ordered. It was a bit chocolate heavy and the coffee flavor didn't push through much at all, but every place does it a bit different. It wasn't bad by any means! We didn't try any food or pastries, but the offerings all looked pretty good. I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you want a good coffee joint in the area. read more

As a self proclaimed matcha enthusiast this matcha is pretty great. I drink a LOT of matcha and if you enjoy the flavor of actual matcha, not just the syrup... this is a good one for you. I've now tried both the Iced Original Matcha and the Iced Yuzu Mango Matcha. Both have a great flavor profile. Hallelujah a drink that doesn't taste like melted ice cream. read more

I usually go to their other location but since I was in the area, we decided to stop by. It's a great location with beautiful views right across the street. They have food as well but we just got the yuzu matcha and lite Vtm on this visit. Good seating in the store with lots of light. And the drinks are great! read more

Great Thai latte and a fiesta bowl is my go to order. The view is stunning and I prefer the experience to the laguna one down the street.

Stopped to have my favorite Vietnamese coffee at Blk Dot coffee in Newport Beach. . Today I tried the light were was perfect. Not to sweet! And we had the matcha latte. Both were delicious. They had a steady flow of customers coming in, but it wasn't so crazy of a wait time. If you're looking to stroll the area I recommend trying their coffee if you haven't already. I highly recommend! . read more

I've been going to Blk Dot for years and they have a bunch of locations in SoCal, but this is one of my fave Blk Dot locations and just coffee spots in general. View is gorgeous. I love getting the VTM with sea salt foam on top (would recommend that if it's your first time), otherwise they have other good viet coffee options and seasonal options as well. The VTMatcha and Pumpkin creme latte (seasonal) are also good drinks to get! Service is always good read more

YUMMMM Ordered a Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte, Ultimate Brekkie Bowl, and the Breakfast Sausage Bowl. I really enjoyed my breakfast! I absolutely adored my matcha latte! I couldn't taste the yuzu as much (I could taste acidity but it wasn't prominently yuzu), but I looooved the flavor of the mango with the matcha. A delicious drink! The breakfast bowls were yummy and hearty. The egg frittata in the bowl was SO good. I wanted more! Between the two bowls, I preferred the Ultimate Brekkie Bowl because I thought the bacon had better flavor compared to the sausage. Overall, I'd totally eat here again! read more

Coffee 4/5 We ordered the Spanish Latte and Vietnamese Iced Coffee, and both were pretty good. We were told the Vietnamese Iced Coffee was a popular choice, so we decided to try something new. It wasn't bad, but it was a bit stronger than I personally prefer. Overall, the coffee was good and definitely worth trying! Food 3/5 We ordered a jalapeño bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese, along with a breakfast bowl. The food was okay, but I was definitely more of a fan of the coffee. The coffee stood out much more than the breakfast items. Customer Service 5/5 Customer service was amazing! The cashier was super friendly and patient. I really appreciate when you walk into a place not knowing exactly what to order, and the staff takes the time to offer friendly suggestions without making you feel rushed or pressured. It made the whole experience so enjoyable! Ambience 5/5 I love that this coffee shop is so close to the beach--it's the perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. The location is absolutely beautiful and feels both nice and safe. A great place to unwind! Cleanliness 5/5 Really clean ! read more

I was in this shopping center and decided to stop in. All I got was a caramel macchiato and it was very good. It was about 1pm and the place was packed. Surprisingly I got my drink pretty fast. The place is very modern and clean looking. With the Pacific Ocean right across the street, just a nice place all around just to hang out at. Price was the same as Starbucks. Parking lot is pretty busy but plenty of parking available towards Traders Joe. read more

This is located in the Crystal Cove shopping center. It was a very busy Sunday. Parking was challenging to find, but managed to spot a space after 10 minutes. Wanted a picker up for a late afternoon after having lunch. Decided to come here. Our cashier was really knowledgeable recommending different drinks for our taste. Very nice with great customer service. I ended up with Iced Thai Tea settle sweet drink perfect for my drive home. Service was quick and got my drinks in minutes. Environment had good vibes! Their food menu looked delicious, but just had lunch on a full stomach. Definitely next time will check it out! read more

This BLK DOT location has the best coffee! I come here every Sunday for coffee, even though it looks busy, they make my coffee so fast. I order and then about 5 minutes later my coffee is ready!

Out for some tea and coffee after Javier's for an early dinner. Friendly staff and helpful. This Thai tea hit the spot with the creamy texture and light sweetness. Open and airy indoor space.

This place is great across the board but what makes it is definitely the location! Located right off Coast Highway, it offers views of the ocean from their outdoor seating.

Just opened in the Crystal Cove Shopping Center. It has a very cool hip atmosphere that reminds me of Matte Black Coffee in LA. They have coffee, matcha, food and snacks. There is an ocean view, seating inside and seating outside. The employees are nice and I recommend going here for the experience. The only downside is that it's not organic and they don't have clean milk options o good Mylk. This is also a few doors down from another coffee shop which is pretty odd. read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Wrong straw again... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Coast, California

My husband and I were having a late lunch next door at Bear Flag and I decided I wanted some Vietnamese iced coffee. I ordered the iced LVTM because it's made with espresso and not with the slow drip Vietnamese coffee so it supposedly had less caffeine. I should have asked them to make it with decaf espresso but forgot. What a rookie mistake. The drink was made quickly and I had a sip before leaving the cafe. My husband had a sip and was a fan as well. I only bought it because I wanted to stay awake for the concert we were attending later that evening. But the caffeine kept me up until 2 am. But if you are in need of caffeine, I suggest you head over to Blk Dot to get your fix. read more

Ordered drinks at this new BLK location today and my best friend's stinkin' cute one-year old unfortunately swiped a cold brew right off the table.

Some of the nicest service I've experienced and the drinks turned out great! Thank you! read more
