Warning: this place is busyyyyyyy Came in on a Sunday morning and it was packed both inside and out. Even with that being true, we got our order fairly quickly and the person that took our order was kind and it was smooth. I had the orange top coffee (I believe it's new) and it was great, super fresh and it was perfect for the already hot morning. My husband had the strawberry matcha and he really enjoyed it as well. read more

KIT Coffee - Orange cold brew and strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I decided to check out Kit Coffee because of the massive amount of high reviews I've seen on Yelp and TikTok, but it completely fell short. If you are a true matcha lover who actually wants to taste high-quality matcha save your money and go elsewhere. I ordered two drinks and unfortunately, neither matched their steep price points: Thank You Berry Matcha ($7.50): For $7.50, I expected premium, scratch-made components. Instead, I was highly disappointed to find out their strawberry oatmilk isn't housemade--they are literally just pouring Califia Farms strawberry flavored oatmilk out of the carton. Worst of all, you could not taste the actual matcha tea flavor whatsoever. I'll give them props for it not being gritty, but they don't even hand-whisk their matchas here (ironic, considering they sell beautiful tea glassware right in the store). Seasonal Orange Cream Matcha Latte ($9.50): Close to $10 for a drink is crazy, and the quality and taste absolutely do not justify it. I expected a bright, fresh orange flavor, but it tasted exactly like heavy marmalade jam. Just like the first drink, there was 0% matcha taste. It was so unpalatable that we ended up just tossing it straight into the trash. The quality and execution just don't align with what they're charging. I definitely won't be returning--there are way better, more authentic matcha cafes down in OC that actually care about the tea flavor. read more

Finally get to cross the famous KIT Coffee off my bucket list. While pricey, KIT Coffee sure is memorable. I visited on my birthday for a little caffeine boost, and their menu was easily a highlight of my day. KIT specializes in signature beverages and breakfast items. The barista recommended I try their horchata matcha, so I ordered this with oat milk. The drink was creamy and delicious. I was a little appalled by the $14 price tag on their garden avocado toast, but after receiving the dish, I'll admit that it's on the larger side. This thick slice of bread comes loaded with the most colorful fermented veggies. You'll notice variety of pickled seasonal vegetables, chives, and cherry tomatoes. Making this item the perfect balance of sweet to savory. Plus, great for photos! In comparison to other local coffee shops, KIT Coffee excels in their layout. There's enough seating for both large and small groups, making it an awesome spot to meet with friends, coworkers, fellow students, etc. read more

Started my morning here with family for a caffeine boost and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the berry matcha, which comes with oat milk by default, and really enjoyed it. The sweetness was perfectly balanced and the berry flavor didn't overpower the drink. The matcha quality itself was just okay, the drink as a whole came together well. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10. Also got to try a few sips of what my family ordered, including the 'purple dream' and 'strawberry alarm clock' which were both solid. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and even around the corner, plus a spacious interior with lots of patio seating. A nice spot for a chill morning coffee run. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and in the mood to try something new. read more

I didn't really enjoy my thank you berry matcha, and orange creamsicle. to be honest, maybe its my fault ordering a matcha at a coffee shop but the matcha was not rich or flavorful. I felt like the drinks were milky overall and not very dark green. Additionally, they made me a coffee by accident and made my matcha so quickly. Not sure what the preparation process was but I don't think it involved a Chasen. If you love matcha, I would suggest to go elsewhere. read more

Parking is awful, I wouldn't frequent this spot just because of the parking situation. Getting coffee should be a relaxing experience imo. Felt employees were friendly, despite other reviews. Decor is nice, with seating inside and out as well. I ordered the maple salted latte which is super good, would like mine a little stronger though, maybe another shot next time. I'm happy with my choice and would def get this again however. read more

I stopped by after walking a loop around Castaway Park since it's conveniently within walking distance. I probably wouldn't recommend trying to park in the plaza, though--the parking is very limited. I ordered a regular matcha latte with almond milk and was pleasantly surprised that it was $6.50, especially since many places are charging over $7 now. I placed a mobile pickup order after being warned by some friends that the line and crowd can get pretty bad, especially on weekends. I do wish I had timed my order a bit later into my walk, as my drink ended up a little watered down and the matcha flavor wasn't as pronounced. One of the girls I was walking with ordered hers later, and her drink came out a much more vibrant green than mine. read more

very cute coffee shop! I really liked the decor an the windows made the place feel so opened and clean. I got an iced latte and I thought it was a little watered down but I have a preference for very dark and strong coffee. Parking was a little hard in the plaza since there were so many people. There is more parking but its reserved for the medical center. read more

I visited Kit coffee for the first time this past week and am looking forward to going back again! We ordered two avocado toasts and two lattes - I'd order those exact items again. In particular, I felt that the coffee was much better than other coffee I've had in the area (humanity, etc.) Heads up if you order food, they give you a number - the number is only for the food. You pick up the coffee yourself at the pickup area. There was tons of seating. Groups chatting, students working, and some folks reading. read more

After eating lunch next door I figured I would check this coffee shop out. There was a line out the door and there's no menu telling you the options until you get to the register. The giant wall menu is just the general categories and prices. While waiting in line I checked out their online menu but even that was missing the seasonal drinks. Crowds never slowed down with a constant line out the door. Atmosphere is very cold and sterile with service to match. I ordered the "strawberry wild latte" and my wife ordered the caramel. We snagged a table and waited for them to softly mumble my name in the deafening loud room. If you miss your name your order will sit there for eternity. I have to agree with the review from a few days ago. People try to cut the line. Two times a group tried to cut us in line. Be aware! This is no cozy relaxing coffee shop! I wasn't feeling the place until I took a sip of my drink. Entire thing was infused with strawberry, not just the cold foam. It was delicious to the last sip and I was sad when the astronomically priced drink was over. My wife loved her drink too. Pastry case was empty. We liked their drinks and would go again if I was in the area but wouldn't make a special trip just to come here. read more

KIT Coffee - Strawberry Wild and caramel latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

This place is always packed to the brim! The line usually goes pretty quickly though. All the drinks I have tried here have been really really good. Like so good I always want a second one. My favorite drink is their Strawberry Alarm Clock, which is just a strawberry latte. I would recommend it full sweet if you want the full strawberry flavor. I usually get my lattes half sweet, but this one tastes better full; the strawberry flavor gets diluted when it's half sweet. Their breakfast burrito is decent for a quick breakfast as well. The main downside of this place is the size. It's tiny and cramped and there are always so many people waiting for their drinks, that they crowd all the tables inside. The tables are not the cleanest either - this place is more of a grab-and-go place for me! read more

Went pretty early in the morning so there wasn't a wait and parking was easy. The cafe had a decent amount of seating indoors and outdoors. Service was quick and they were happy to make adjustments when my friend didn't like her drink (she said the matcha was too bitter for her preference) Pumpkin patch latte: 4/5. I liked this a lot but I thought the cup was slightly small for the price read more

Great ambience and baristas. Plenty of seating inside and outside for a cafe. Parking was a breeze for me (there's also a lot in the back). No restroom but there's a building shared around the corner that just requires a code. Tried -Seasonal Boysenberry Matcha Latte with Almond milk: Creamy and loved the housemade boysenberry cream top. There's even some cute purple sugar crystals that make the drink pop on top. A more lighter matcha taste perfect if you don't like that grassy matcha taste. -Arugula Salad: Refreshing with quality ingredients. Two sunny side eggs had a perfect crisp and the avocado was perfectly sliced and plated on top. There was a slight citrus salty seasoning and fresh grounded black pepper flakes that made this delicious. I would've loved maybe a fruit topping with this like strawberries or raisins but overall, great! read more

This was a nice cafe! It was cute and had a decent amount of seating both indoor and outdoor. Friendly staff and our drinks came out fairly quick. My friend and I both got the Triple Double Matcha which was pretty good. Not as matcha-y as I was thinking it would be considering the "Triple Double" in the name but still good! I would definitely come back to try some of their other drinks. Note: parking was a nightmare so be prepared! read more

Kit coffee has always been popular in the OC area and I never got to try it until now. It was very worth the visit because of their delicious foods and their unique blends of coffee. Their seasonal s'mores latte was so delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. They make the drinks fast but with good quality. For the food, I got the cilantro rice which was really good especially with the sauce and my friend got the breakfast burrito which was also very delicious with the green sauce. The inside is very nice for a coffee chat but I would advise you that it is kind of crowded during brunch time read more

Tasty, pretty, and pricey. Their strawberry latte was enjoyable. Breakfast burrito was decent, but maybe I would've liked the bacon one better. Cilantro fried rice was like a breakfast burrito bowl and was a tad salty. Service was cordial/standard. Came in late Spring midday on a Sat, and the ambience was bright, clean, and well air-conditioned. There was plenty of indoor and outdpor seating. Would try again with bacon, since my friend raves about the breaky burrito. read more

I've heard about it for years. The buzzy buzz has not escaped me. I've even tried coming like three times. Twice cus they had just closed and once cus the line as too long and the homie didn't want to wait. Anyways. This place Is my new favorite. Don't wanna hear none of this bullshit. When it comes to Specialty drinks / matcha type shit. This is the best in OC. Especially in the NEWPS / costa Mexico / Irvine area. Phenomenal. I'm so mad they don't make the drinks in larger sizes and / or buckets read more

I needed some big fueling for a long row session out in Newport. I stopped at Kit and grabbed a latte and a breakfast burrito with bacon. The latte is pretty standard and satisfying. The burrito was a surprised. It was loaded with bacon throughout and they toasted it so the tortilla was crispy making it a panini style burrito. The two salsas were also great compliments to the burrito. Delicious!! I would absolutely get it again. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good and fast. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Parking: there is a parking located in the plaza. There are many available parking spaces including some directly in front of the store. Just beware to not park in the stalls that are marked as reserved. Parking here is easier and more convenient than Irvine location. Service: They rolled out the drinks and food very quickly considering how many people were ordering and lining up. Pro tip: if you don't have time, order ahead of time online on their website. Ambiance: It was decorated so nicely and cute. They offered table seating inside the shop. Definitely busy so more of a social coffee shop than a study one. Food: Thank you berry matcha latte (10/10)- matcha latte with strawberry milk (oat milk), the matcha was extremely creamy but the strawberry flavor shined through and complemented the matcha flavor so well. It wasn't earthy or grassy (maybe try somewhere else if you prefer grassier matcha). I also thought original was great but I liked it even more when I asked for less sweet! Triple Single Matcha Latte (9/10)- matcha latte topped with strawberry cream topping. Again, matcha was so creamy and flavorful. I do prefer the thank you berry matcha a bit more because I think the strawberry flavor shined through more. However, the cream top was still really great. TLDR: both strawberry matcha lattes were super good and if you're a strawberry matcha lover, get both to try both!! I went back two days in a row. It was that good!

My favorite thing at Kit is the almond milk cappuccino that I order. I don't know why they just do it right! It can be crazy there on the weekends with so many people waiting to order. So I choose my times wisely, and try and go at odd times when I can find parking easily. It's nice be able to sit and relax for bit and take a break for yourself. Also fun to meet up with a friend and enjoy a burrito and some good coffee! Everyone that works is very dedicated to their job, and the atmosphere is great! Lots of cute shopping in the area with great boutiques so you can kind of make a little afternoon out of it. read more

Super busy coffee shop on 17th near Dover Dr. in Newport Beach. The complex is beautifully designed but parking is horrendous. All kinds of signs stating who can park where, super territorial. Very popular place, crowded, loud. I arrived before 9am on a weekday & there were around 10 customers seated with drinks working on laptops or chatting. Around 9am, a line formed almost to the front door. Friend got caramel latte (she liked it a lot) & I got iced mocha. Mocha was smooth, comes with 2 shots espresso & was delicious, not too sweet. Restrooms located around the way with a code. No rewards/loyalty program but price was ok at $6 per drink. read more

Super hip and cute spot! Matcha latte is great, but the bacon breakfast burrito is even better. Very tasty. It's not round but rather kind of an oval shape, just a heads up. Kind of pricey, but you're in Newport Beach. Parking is kind of a cluster* but if you back into your spot it helps. Also, be prepared to wait, especially on the weekends. The line never shortens. Try to come early. You can also order online. If you do, your order can be picked up on the right counter. read more

I came on a Thursday morning before going to a conference in the area. I'm not a local and so I didn't anticipate how busy this cafe was; I ended up waiting almost 25 minutes for my drink. My drink was good, but in hindsight to reduce my stress I should have ordered it online for pick-up! The cafe itself was nicely decorated with a clean and bright interior. There was a good mixture of folks working and meeting/talking with friends. I'd be open to trying some of their other drinks if I'm ever in the area again. read more

KIT Coffee - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

KIT Coffee is my go-to for a morning breakfast burrito and matcha when I am in the OC area. I like that they have a wide variety of food options along with their drink menu (coffees, teas, etc.) customer service is always super friendly and there's lots of indoor and outdoor seating (with some shade and non shaded areas). Restaurant aesthetic is super clean and simple and they do also have some cute cards available for purchase. The only downfall I've noticed when both eating in person and moreso takeout is on the weekends this place will get absolutely packed and the order ready times are often not accurate as they are so backed up with orders (especially on nice days). So just give yourself plenty of time if you're going on the weekends and/or on a sunny day. read more

We were visiting family in the Newport Coast area and wanted to go somewhere casual for brunch on a Sunday. This area was super busy and Kits was crowded!! We decided to place an order online for carryout and wait outside until it was ready. We got the bacon breakfast burrito and the cilantro fried rice. Both really good and unique flavors! I could have used a little more cheese on the burrito, but the sauces were excellent. The green was my favorite- it was mild with a lot of flavor. The red was good but a bit too spicy for me. The burrito had great flavor and was crispy. The portions were big and I could only eat half of it. I wish Kits wasnt as busy so I could have eaten inside instead of taking it to go. I would go back and try more things. Overall experience 4/5 read more

I wish they opened up a location in San Diego because how sad that now one of my favorite coffee shops is 1.5 hours away!! It's ok- just means I'll have to visit Newport more frequently!

Seating is a bit tough because there are a limited number of tables (outside at least) but there's always someone leaving.

Solid coffee shop in the Newport area. We got the bacon breakfast burrito and a vanilla latte. The latte was slightly too milky for my taste but I still enjoyed it. The burrito was excellent and one of the better breakfast burritos I have ever had. The tortilla was nice and crispy and the food didn't fall out. The different components of the burrito (especially rice and bacon) had a nice texture when eating it. Although the coffee was just ok, the burrito and ambiance were good enough to make me want to come back. read more

I've been having a renowned obsession with KIT. The breakfast burrito has been living in my head rent free all summer. There's a lot of great breakfast burritos but none I've had with this flavor profile. The combo of cilantro rice with chorizo and the perfect amount of cheese is immaculate. Their matcha has ofc always been my favorite and I especially love their new triple double because the strawberry taste persists but with a lot more body of matcha. I've brought several friends from out of town here and they're all also obsessed. I also love how somehow I can always manage to find a seat even though it's packed, and the baristas are always the sweetest! read more

Has great flavor and the little chunks at the bottom of the drink are like little boba pieces that are so good! People are always great and sweet but you can definitely tell they are quite busy and non-stop with their orders. Place has a cool vibe but again is usually packed with people working or studying.
