    Cappys Cafe is a nostalgic diner in Newport Beach with classic breakfast and lunch options. We came on a Sunday and unfortunately had a super long wait for our food. We ordered and it took nearly an hour to receive our food. They were busy, but I would have loved for our waitress to update us or come by the table during that time - we did need to flag her down. The food was great once we got it. We tried the bagel breakfast sandwich, protein pancakes, build your own omelette, and the sausage skillet. The breakfast sandwich was absolutely massive! Actually, all of the portions were pretty big, enough to share between two people for sure.

    Large portions for the California Omelette.

    Wild! This is a great spot. Every single table occupied and we got great service. Foot was huge proportions. The sweet cinnamon roll dish that everyone brags about is a must try. Coffee is good too.

    Whenever I visit my friends in Orange County, we always have lunch at Cappys Cafe. And, we always order the same thing , the prime rib melt even though their breakfasts look delicious! This time it was delicious as always, but skimpy on the Swiss cheese. The meat was piled high and tender. You have a choice of several sides to go with it to include fries, onion rings, potato salad, and cottage cheese. I chose onion rings and they were delicious! And, no extra charge for them. Service is very fry. I definitely will be back!

    Breakfast burrito
    Jason B.

    Roadside joint recommended by local friends so we met them there! Somewhat busy but we're able to snag a table immediately, score! Chose the breakfast burrito, selected chorizo for the meat, and asked for crispy hash browns. Good tortilla, fillings, and salsa, but they forgot the crispy potatoes, so the burrito was all one consistency.. Ambiance is roadside diner, service was friendly and prompt, and prices are in line with the area.

    Cinnamon Swirl Combo

    Decided to stop here for brunch on our drive and was not disappointed. There is plenty of parking towards the back of the restaurant and we were seated quickly on the patio. We ordered the fish and chips, and the cinnamon roll French toast. The fish and chips were good, but not the best I've had (I prefer crispy) and the French toast was really good! Service was friendly and attentive, and overall the restaurant gave off casual diner vibes. Worth the visit!

    The wife and I were looking for a brunch spot near our hotel, so we did what so many folks do. We turned to Yelp, found a place with strong reviews, and decided to give it a try. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked through the door, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. We were seated promptly, and the service that followed was nothing short of exceptional. The staff was attentive, checking in just the right amount, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive. Now, the food was outstanding. Well seasoned and full of flavor. In fact, it was so good I found myself wondering about the chef, because you could taste some culture in every bite. What stood out most, though, was how the entire experience lived up to its promise: fresh, local, and friendly.

    Taco plate with grilled fish taco

    Stopped into Cappys Cafe on a Friday morning. They're a popular spot so it was busy but that's to be expected for brunch. They have a great menu with plenty of options and I like how they have smaller portion plates available if you aren't in the mood for a huge meal. I ordered the grilled fish taco plate. My boyfriend ordered pancakes, two eggs, and bacon. The portions are huge here so come hungry. The food was tasty and the quality was good. The service was great. The hostesses and servers were all friendly and moved quickly.

    Love love love Cappys! Friendly service, yummy food, and so many different menu options. Cappys gets pretty busy, but they have plenty of seating so it goes by quick. Love everything from their breakfast burrito, omelettes and pancakes. You really cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Would definitely recommend if youre in Newport!

    Chicken Fajita Omelette, with cheese , guacamole , sour cream, pico, and chill on top. Home style potatoes.

    Food and Service are always on point! Coffee is good as well! Then, go chill on the beach .

    Cobb Salad
    Elizabeth H.

    Not sure what to make of this place. It was buzzy on a Monday, a holiday, at lunch. It took three times to get a server to get our order. Though there were many servers milling around. The Fish and Chips was average, hoping for a crispier fish wrapper on the outside. The fish was dry. The chips were dry as well. The Cobbs Salad was unexciting.

    Breakfast Sandwich

    One of the BEST cafes I've been to. The service was phenomenal from the host to Amanda (our server). The ambiance was nice and relaxing and the food was so good! One of my new favorite spots

    I would say that this is my favorite diner in Newport Beach. I say diner because it is like a traditional American diner, not so much a retro diner. It's located on beautiful 101 in North Newport Beach. Very close to the HB border. Parking is really easy, they have a free lot attached on both sides of the restaurant. Inside is also very large with two different dining areas, as well as many different type of seating options from booth, to table, to counter. The menu is also awesome, it has a lot of unique items on it and it's the sort of place where you can get something new each time. Our server was very polite but there was a bit of a delay getting our food items out, but it was very busy when we stopped in for Saturday morning brunch. The food quality and taste here really beats out the competition. Everything that we ordered was honestly fantastic. I ordered the Seafood Benny with Wild Caught Crab Meat and switched to the thick cut sourdough toast as the bottom, which I would recommend. The crab was fresh, the hollandaise had great flavor, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I honestly loved every bit of this dish and would highly recommend ordering it. I am eager to stop in again next time I am down in the OC area.

    Pancake combo with sausage patty. Awesome! I like their pancakes because it seems that they put some cornmeal in them.
    Simon K.

    I like their pancakes, it's like they put some cornmeal in them. Ordering a single pancake on the side is plenty, as they're big and thick. The pancake combo comes with 3 of them. I also tried their sausage patty. In a good way it reminds me of the McDonald's sausage patty. I love it!

    Call Cappys and ask for Lindsey as she can help you.

    Any gluten free options?

(Does anyone work anymore!? ) The longest I waited was an hour but that was 3 weeks after opening. And I can tell you, as long as you have the time it will be worth it. The overall aesthetic is coastal cowboy meets rustic modern. There is a ton of seating with a great outdoor patio. Parking in the back is pretty slim, so your best bet is street parking. You can either get lucky or park around the block, depending on the day / time. My absolute favorite coffee is the Hawaiian Cowboy. It flavor profile is a nutty tasting honey that's refreshing yet not overly sweet. You can actually taste the espresso without it being too powerful. This coffee is worth the wait. Their other drinks are also good, but this one takes the cake. They have a pretty expansive food menu as well, so it's much more than "just a coffee shop". And you can't forget about their baked goods. O M G. It's from a local bakery (sift bakery) who makes the best non basic treats around.

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

The parking however, was VERY filled during this time. The line was huge for a 11:00am on a Friday morning. We were bummed that the QR code was not working on the very cute wooden signage outside the coffee shop while we were in line, which was a bummer. The Honey Oat Latte with oat milk was delicious. I am notorious for chugging my iced coffee but this was absolutely delicious. A sweet, subtle honey sweetness taste and the creamy oat milk was divine. My manager's Spanish Latte was so much better & I will be getting that next time! We bought our other coworker the Strawberry Matcha, which we did not try & we were worried after the fact because it did not look like it had strawberries in it, but she confirmed it was very tasty and tasted the strawberry! The outside seating areas in this outdoor area was very cute. Lots of fun art, the directory was creative, the CD tunnel was the coolest part! We also walked over to the breakfast burrito place as well. This seems like a nice area to come and relax and just people watch and enjoy a delicious iced latte from Nook.

The interior is, as everyone says, beautiful. Lots of natural light from the windows/glass, cozy with all the plants -- it is the perfect place for a cup of coffee over a meeting with friends or to a quiet moment to get some work done. Got both the hot latte with 2% milk (12 oz) and iced latte with 2% milk + house made vanilla (12 oz). The house made vanilla was good, nothing special but did not have that artificial, alcohol-y taste you sometimes get from the store bought syrups. The drinks, however, tasted more milk than espresso forward. Not my personal preference but if you like your drinks on the milkier side this is probably better suited for your tastes. The flavor of the espresso was fine but I personally would have preferred to add a min additional shot or two for a more coffee forward taste, even with just the plain latte.

Unfortunately, the experience didn't improve. When I finally ate in my car, I found eggshells still in my food, which was very disappointing. The servers were kind and polite, but overall the experience was poor due to slow service and lack of attention to food quality. Management should really work on time management and quality control. If you're planning to dine here, be prepared to wait at least 20-30 minutes for your order.
