Yasssss it's that damn good. Oh my! I haven't been here for years but it's still damn good to this day! This was our go to coffee shop every weekend when we used to live here. I could not find any other smoother and tasty coffee than Kean. Nothing in this area compares. It's a gem here. My husband and I usually get their vanilla latte. It just runs smooth; not acidic. Flavors are on point! Service is usually great. Sometimes it can be a bit since lines can get ridiculous here. But worth it! Casual atmosphere! read more

Decided to treat myself to another cup of coffee while I was in the area. There's not many coffee shop roasters around me, so I was really excited to try Kean Coffee. Parking: Free parking lot. They're located in a busy plaza, so finding a parking spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. I visited on a Sunday afternoon, and it was very busy. All indoor and outdoor tables were filled. Great spot to get some work done or a simple coffee date. Service: The cashier at the register was nice. Throughput was quick & efficient after ordering. They also sell their own coffee beans. There's a great selection of pastries and parfaits for a quick breakfast. Drinks: I love their story of sourcing and roasting their own beans. They offer a great range of coffee. I'm a latte girly, so I decided to try the Caffe Napoli Latte. This had hazelnut and white chocolate. It was definitely on the sweeter end, but wow this tasted amazing! Even though it was sweet, the espresso still came through. Pricing: They have four different sizes - 8 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz. Prices are as expected. I'd definitely visit again when I'm in the area! read more

Pretty solid cafe. I got the Mayan mocha for here. Ended up being around 7.50. I thought the drink was good. The ganache on the bottom was very tasty and the spices they used were unique and a little spicy. The staff were sweet, and I got my drink very quickly too. I came to work, but they don't have Wi-Fi and all the outlets are covered, which definitely make it harder to get things done. They also didn't have a self serve place to get water, which I like to see in a cafe. I'm not sure if it was worth the price overall, and if I'm looking for a cafe to work, I wouldn't come back here. read more

I have been a huge fan of this place since it was rebirthed from Dietrich's coffee. I was sad to see the former place go, was super excited to see that it had not died completely. This is one of those if you know you know places. With so much corporate coffee out there, it's nice to find a place that really takes pride in small batch coffee. Parking can be slightly challenging, as this is a very busy strip mall. But if you're lucky you can get a parking spot right out front. Inside is warm and inviting, great friendly staff, who know their stuff and are willing to make suggestions. Plenty of seating options both inside and out, and on Spring and summer days the outside is definitely happening. To be honest, I have never had anything bad here. I always like to try the different baked goods and everything has been on point. Their coffee drinks are second to none, and I just can't say enough good things about this. I think if I was to open a coffee shop it would be just like this. You can't beat the people, the prices are reasonable, and the service is top notch. Bottom line? If you are in the Southern California area, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, or Balboa, this is your go-to place. read more

Super easy parking, kind customer service and short wait time for my drink. Lots of seating inside and outside. The coffee itself was very bold and personally for me I like it a little less bold. Don't get me wrong it was good but a little too bold/earthy for me. read more

I haven't been to Kéan in years. This has always been one of my favorite coffee shops, mainly because they have Diedrich's coffee! You can smell the beans roasting when you walk through the doors. They have lots of tables, chairs and umbrellas outside, as well as great seating inside - including the couch! The staff are always so kind and helpful too. I noticed their menu has changed a lot, but many things have remained the same. I'm so happy they still sell Shirley's bagels...so good! read more

I love the flavor of their coffee drinks and drop by here when I'm in the area. I absolutely love their blended ice cream coffee drinks, they really are a treat. As I sit outside and enjoy the weather I feel relaxed with my yummy coffee drink in hand. They can put the drink in a mug as an option for those staying a while, which I notice not a lot of coffee and tea shops have. Sometimes I just want the good ole' coffee shop experience sipping from a mug. This place has that experience I am looking for. read more

Kean Coffee is honestly phenomenal, probably one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. The space itself is ridiculously vibey and cozy, the kind of place you actually want to hang out in for hours. I usually judge a coffee shop by their cold brew, since that's the real test. Let me tell you, a lot of places make cold brew that tastes like someone rinsed their feet in it. But Kean's? Absolutely incredible. Smooth, bold, and full of flavor without being bitter. I ordered a large, and it was so good I couldn't stop myself from drinking almost the whole thing in one go. Sure, I got some serious jitters afterward, but it was worth every sip. This place sets the standard for what coffee should be... quality drinks, great atmosphere, and an experience that makes you want to come back!! read more

Walking in, I already knew it was going to be good and you can see all of their coffee grounds displayed in front. The Cafe Napoli latte with white chocolate and hazelnut was delicious, although a bit too sweet for me!! They don't have WiFi but there were a lot of people lounging both inside and outside. Service was quick as well. I'd def be back to try their other coffee drinks if in the area. read more

OMGGG!!! I found my new FAVE iced chai latte. It definitely lived up the hype. Parking: This is a busy shopping center so parking can be challenging. Once parking is found there are a lot of options to look at while you drink your coffee or iced chai latte. Quality: The Iced Chai Latte with Oat milk was so creamy and full of flavor. It also wasn't too spicy either. Pastries & Desserts: There were so many to choose from, so I'll definitely be coming back to pick some up. Looking forward to coming back again (: Thanks for my morning pick me up! read more

100/10 experience!!!! Amazing seating both indoor and outdoors. When you walk in you are immediately greeted by multiple employees and they were all so lovely!!! The menu they offer is so big and different it has something for everyone!!! My boyfriend was so excited about all the different coffee, espresso options. We got the "single origin dipping chocolate" and it was unsweetened and was the perfect treat. It was like a thick hot chocolate and we both loved it! All of the pastries and breads looked amazing it was so hard for me to pick which one to try!!! We will be coming back tomorrow so I can try more!! read more

This place never disappoints! I love the iced almond joy. Been loving this drink for 10+ years. Not overly coconut-y and just enough to give you the impression you are biting in to a an almond joy! Picked up a blueberry bagel for the road and I'm off to start my day! read more

Solid coffee shop! It seems like this coffee shop has been a staple in Newport Beach because of the aged interior and older patrons here. Many people like to come here to study, chat, or even knit! It does feel a bit more crowded for a coffee shop, but seems like many people don't mind it at all. I saw that the Turkish latte was the most popular choice on Yelp so I decided to try it! I ordered a medium size (16oz?) which was actually a lot bigger than I thought haha. Trying the drink, it was very very floral. I didn't expect it to be that floral, so it was nice to try something different than the usual latte. Although, it's something I probably wouldn't get again the next time. My bf also wasn't really a fan of his americano because of the taste? So it could be that he should try a different drink, or maybe just not for him. read more

Lots of places to sit, many options to choose from their menu. I got the Turkish coffee with almond milk, it's pretty good but $8.00 for a 160z. think adding almond milk was more than I expected. But overall the coffee is good, nice to try something different, it tastes like a latte with some distinct cardamom flavors. Would come back and try other drinks, more reviews then. read more

Kean just might be my favorite coffee shop I've been to in Orange County. Admittedly all I've ever gotten is the Cafe Mocha but it's amazing. Made with dark chocolate ganache, it's the best mocha I've ever had. I also really appreciate a gluten free banana bread (amongst other gluten free options) They also roast their own beans! Amazing place, can't recommend enough read more

Peachy, keen! The Turkish coffee was delicious and paired well with scone parm/chive scone. I usually just get plain black coffee but I really like their specialty drinks here. I met up with my hs friends (we've been friends for a looonnng time) while at home and it was so great to see them but this place brings back memories of our hang outs. The cafe is clean and has a lot of seating inside and outside. We opted to sit outside as it was a sunny day and we were a pretty large group since most of us have partners and a few have kids. The staff are always super friendly and service is pretty quick. They even warmed up our scone which was a great treat! Love these neighborhood cafes as there are so many ppl I recognize when I am home. read more

My professor brought me here with some of my friends and told me to get the orange and chocolate latte with a red velvet Susie cake. Listening to him was the best choice I ever made!! The coffee was rich and bold with a sweet citrusy flavor. My friends lets me sip their lattes - I think they had a cardamom and a honey flavor. Everything was fantastic, and the pastry was fresh, fruity, and sweet! If there was a lean coffee near me, this would definitely be my everyday go-to cafe. read more

This place is absolutely adorable! The ambiance is perfect for a place to catch up with a friend or to sit an ponder life's greatest questions over a cup of coffee. The service is friendly with each individual barista offering a warm smile and that little something extra that makes the experience of getting coffee in the morning just that much better. The coffee is flavorful and rich and the pastries look thoughtfully and meticulously crafted. Overall, this place is great! Side note: For the sake of preserving the ambience, I would recommend not to come here if you're planning on working as they don't have wifi which to me indicates that they prefer their guests meet over coffee rather than work over it. read more

We ordered iced caffe mocha -white chocolate and caffe latte. They were both ok but I think they use different kind of sweeteners that makes the taste little different. The location was great but there was not many available seating area since it was pretty packed. The service was pretty fast.

You could tell Kean uses high quality ingredients in their coffees. I ordered an iced Turkish latte and a cold brew. I thought I was being bold when I decided to try their signature Turkish latte.

Great drinks, weird energy around no Wi-Fi This spot has great coffee, teas, and craft drinks--no complaints there. Beautiful seating, cozy atmosphere--it looks like the perfect spot to post up and get some work done. But don't be fooled. Be warned: there is NO Wi-Fi and no outlets. None. Zip. I asked the staff if there was Wi-Fi, and not only did they say "no," but they also looked at me like I was the problem for even asking. No explanation, no sign, just awkward eye contact and a weird little smirk exchanged between them, like I had committed a faux pas by expecting basic access in a café setting. It's 2025. If you don't offer Wi-Fi, that's your prerogative--but put up a sign! I wouldn't have come in or ordered if I had known. Just be upfront so folks can make an informed choice. Otherwise, it feels like a trap. Great drinks, strange energy. Won't be back unless they change that. So yes, great drinks. But if you're hoping to get work done, charge your devices, or even check your email, go somewhere else. read more

Kean Coffee is a great place to get sit outside and enjoy some fresh coffee. The menu offers various iced drinks. The coffee tastes great. They also sell the coffee to go but it's a bit too expensive. They have a lot of seating outside but minimal indoor seating. read more

Thank you to every single person who works here. I'd been passing by here on my bike for years and I finally discovered this spot. It's one of my absolute favorite places now. I go all over the menu and everything is good. They serve to-go and sit in. It gets crowded sometimes, which is great for a coffee shop vibe, but they also take online orders (with reserved parking) if you're in a hurry. Don't be. Sit down and enjoy yourself. Do a crossword puzzle and see if a conversation happens. There's a very diverse crowd here. The whole staff stacks, sweeps, stocks and serves with a smile. It's really appreciated, cheers gang read more

I got a cold brew with sugar-free hazelnut syrup . They offered multiple different sugar-free flavors. I thought it tasted good, not a super dark roast and also not a ton of hazelnut flavor. My friend got the iced almond Joy latte with whole milk He enjoyed it. They had a large menu of many different types of drinks. They offer more than one size which I always appreciate . The price was pretty typical. They accepted contactless payment. The service was relatively quick, especially considering how busy it was . The barista's answered our questions. I was impressed by the amount of things available to add to the drink on the side. - cinnamon, shakers, cocoa powder, shakers sweetener packets, etc. They even had bottles of milk and creamer. It was pretty busy so there were not any seats available, but there were a good amount of seats in there. It's not in a super walkable area otherwise overall i had a good experience and would love to return to review more items from their extensive menu. I would love an invite back! read more

When looking for high quality, there's no where else in the area that you can confidently say can top Kean Coffee Artisan Roasters! The story behind the coffee shop was opened by the owner who was trained by Martin Diedrich, a respected and highly successful for artisan coffee and innovative coffee roasting. The results are telling in the coffee here and as other reviews say, taste and quality are top notch. Having said this, you can't really go wrong with any type of coffee you order. The only criticism I can say is the lack of WIFI and outlets that the coffeeshop purposely appears to lack. I completely understand the push to make the environment one that cultivates a social atmosphere, but in this day and age a lot of folks have the goal to come to a coffeeshop to be productive and would need to connect to internet. I do respect the movement however, and this is what would make Kean a great date, friend hangout, or business meeting setting. Staff here is great and gets the coffee orders out quickly. Parking is usually easy but can be an issue at times when it gets busy. The bathrooms are outside on the side of the building and you'll need to ask for a key at the register to access them. read more

This place is very delightful . They roast their coffee beans on site and you can taste the freshness in every sip. The atmosphere inside was cozy , relaxed and inviting.
