I tired both the spring avocado toast and the garden avocado toast. Both are delicious! The spring avo had a more fresh flavor and has pickled onions and goat cheese while the garden avo has a more pickled flavoring since it's topped with different pickled veggies. I loved the spring avo but the garden avo is nice to mix it up. They have a few other avocado toast options as well with egg and bacon too! Their coffees are also well made and delicious!! Parking is usually easy right in front of the coffee shop and they have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place to catch up with friends or to do work. They do have wifi! read more

I'm always looking for a good coffee spot. Came across KIT Coffee today between previewing Open Houses. As soon as you walk in, every table/seat was taken indoors and outdoors. Everyone on their laptop or just having a good time with their company. I was able to snag a seat against the wall that faces outside. I got their Vanilla Latte. You can never go wrong with that. 5/5 for sure. I'll be back! read more

KIT Coffee is an adorable little coffee shop in Newport Beach. It is relatively small but they have a good amount of outdoor seating. As a tea girl, their London fog latte is one of the best I have found in the area. Not sure what they put in it to make it taste so dang delicious! This coffee shop is that it is in a popular shopping area so parking can be difficult if you go during a busy time. Account for the parking issue and arrive a few minutes early. read more

+1 star: A cozy cafe with great ambiance, free wifi, indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for a coffee date, to read a book, or to work. They play music and it can get a little crowded/loud, but I personally like a little background noise. +1 star: Wonderful service and staff. +1 star: Their coffee and drinks are yummy and affordably priced. +2 stars: Saving the best for last, KIT Coffee serves my absolute favorite avo toast - the avocado garden toast! It's a hefty slice of toast with yummy pickled veggies. It's so colorful, fun, and delicious! Now that I no longer have regular appointments in the area, I'm so sad to not have this avo toast as often anymore. I'd seriously drive down to Newport from LA just for this avo toast because it makes my day every time lol. Parking can be a little tough in front, but there's a parking structure closer to Salt & Straw and parking behind the shopping strip. read more

Just Meh. While the interior looks nice and the options are unique, the quality of the coffee is just okay. Service was impartial and my macha latte came in an 8 oz cup, tiny for the $7.50 I paid. But I guess this is Newport Beach/Costa Mesa so these are the prices you pay. You aren't missing anything by giving this spot a miss read more

drinks are okay too sweet or totally unsweet depending on what you order. triple double is good if you like the taste of strawberry ice cream but not if ur a matcha snob also its ten dollars. always a line out the door and seating situation is limited and cramped but cute I GUESS read more

Another coffee shop gem! Kit is an aesthetically pleasing shop with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's merch, candles, chocolates, cards, and more for sale inside the shop. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I got the matcha horchata and that combination did not disappoint. This is a great spot to come get some work done, catch up with some homies, or just to grab a coffee and go. read more

KIT has a beautiful and clean interior with very friendly employees. I ordered the ube coconut milk ($7.50) with a shot of espresso and it was delicious!! If you like a stronger coffee, I'd recommend 2 shots; it adds to the flavor but also increases the price. My friend ordered the strawberry alarm which is espresso + strawberry oat milk, but we both didn't like it. The strawberry flavor was barely present and the drink tasted watered down. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning but we got our drinks in a timely manner. My total was $17 including tip which is pretty pricey for two drinks. I personally believe there's better coffee shops in the area but a nice spot to hang out at. read more

I came in here for coffee. I loved the ambiance and how cute this place looked; it was lively and filled with people which intrigued me to come in besides the great reviews. The baristas were friendly, fast, and efficient. I just ordered a cappuccino and I was disappointed as it was acidic. I don't know if I just got a bad batch of the coffee or what. I would be open to come back to try their menu, but I would definitely be reluctant to order another coffee. read more

I really liked the outdoor seating area here, especially when it's sunny. It's great place to study at or just sit with a friend or with a book. I got an iced vanilla latte and there wasn't really a vanilla taste, so I would ask for a little more next time. Would come back! read more

Love KIT. My coffees are consistent and good. Have had a handful of the breakfast items which are also good. Almond croissant haven't tasted super fresh the last 2 times I got the. Parking can be a pain at the wrong times and it can be hard to find a table at peak times. read more

nice, clean ambiance & friendly customer service! definitely a good spot to study, there were a lot of open seats both inside and outside ~2pm. i was really excited to try the creamsicle matcha as i'd initially seen it on tiktok and was intrigued by the flavor pairing! i was pretty disappointed though, the creamsicle flavor is faint & the cream top dissolved rather quickly. the drink overall tasted watered-down. the london fog was good, though! read more

Ok. This place is so good! Staff helped me create the perfect iced coffee to go right before they closed at 4 pm. Next time I'll have to try a pastry or breakfast item and do a little studying. Perfect environment. Stopped by right after class and super easy to find the shop. Wish I knew the barista's name who helped me but def recommend giving that man a raise. Thanks for a rapid and helpful experience! Owners have to be proud of their staff. read more

Cute coffee shop in Newport Beach! Great place to catch up with a friend. There's seating both inside and outside on the patio. The wifi is pretty slow, so not a great place to wfh or study. Drinks: - Oat milk cortado (4/5): The espresso was a little acidic but not bad. - Purple drink (1/5): Not my favorite... This was incredibly sweet from the coconut milk and the ube tasted really artificial. Good if you like your drinks sweet! Food: - Breakfast burrito (4/5): A little heavy on the rice but I liked the green sauce it came with! It was pretty filling. - Avocado toast (5/5): I loved this!! My favorite thing that we ordered. The bread was perfectly crispy and I really liked the pickled vegetables on top. Overall I loved the ambiance. I probably wouldn't come back for the drinks but a great place to catch up w friends!! read more

I think yesterday may have been an off day. It was new years and they were super busy. Which was to be expected anywhere we went. Food came out way quicker than the coffee which i will not complain about. I will say their lox avocado toast was freaking amazing and my boyfriend enjoyed his chorizo breakfast burrito. Boyfriend and I ordered vanilla lattes and they were not good. Way too much vanilla couldn't even taste the coffee. Just a side note, some dusting would be amazing. The walls, random spots around and windows had all sorts of dust on them. read more

If you're looking for solid tea, coffee, and food, kit coffee is the way to go. Walked in today before lunchtime craving some matcha after a busy morning, and was greeted with such a cute interior! I loved the way this cafe looked, so I just had to sit down and get something to eat. I got a matcha latte with almond milk and the caprese avocado toast, and both of them were super delicious! I really love their matcha, it was super refreshing and I really liked how they didn't add any sugar unless you request it, unlike other cafes. Their matcha is super high quality and I recommend getting it when you visit. The caprese toast blew my mind! It was super yummy and paired really well with the latte, which resulted in a super satisfying start to my day. The staff is super nice and the service is really quick, which I definitely appreciated. Make sure to tip them well, they deserve it! Thank you kit coffee, for your great drinks, amazing food, and even better staff! read more

Good service, friendly staffs, good ambience, but drink quality is very disappointing. My daughter bought two matcha drinks and it taste so watery. There is NO taste of matcha at all. We spent $20 with 1 cookie but we have to stop by at Starbucks again to get matcha drink after we bought 2 drinks from Kit coffee. It very upsetting. read more

I needed some caffeine to wake me up in the morning and I found this cafe that happened to be in the same plaza. I got the Thank You Berry matcha and my boyfriend got the Horchata matcha. This was honestly one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had. The Thank You Berry matcha was the perfect level of sweetness and was very smooth and creamy. It wasn't grainy and didn't have an aftertaste like some matcha lattes I've had in the past. The Horchata matcha was also very good. I was unsure if cinnamon would taste good in matcha but I was really impressed with the drink. The cinnamon was strong without overpowering the matcha flavor. I do wish that it was sweeter but I like my matcha lattes on the sweeter side, so if you don't it might be the perfect level for you. My boyfriend doesn't even really like matcha that much and he liked both drinks and finished the Horchata matcha. I also love that their matcha already comes with oatmilk and I didn't have to pay extra for it. The cafe was really cute and spacious. I feel like this would be a nice place to get work done or study at. I'm definitely revisiting this place when I'm in the area again. I'd want to try their other drinks and maybe even their food items. read more

Strawberry matcha and strawberry alarm clock are to die for. That and the soyrizo breakfast burrito are my go to. Love this place!

Good drinks if you order as is without making major changes (wasn't a fan of how their syrup paired with almond milk). Strawberry syrup and matcha drinks are good. Food is a bit overpriced for what it is, very average options read more

Their coffee is always on point, and the food is delicious--definitely a great spot to enjoy a relaxed meal. However, be prepared for a bit of a wait. It's not the place to go if you're in a rush, as it can take some time to get your order. But if you've got the time to chill, it's totally worth it! read more

This was an unexpected find on a recent Sunday afternoon as I was looking for breakfast type foods. Although they were minutes from closing, they very generously took my order for food. I am so glad they did because I would have otherwise missed out on one of the best breakfast burritos and avocado toast I've had in the LA/OC area. The Smoked Avocado Toast was piled high with a thick layer of crumbled crisp bacon pieces and halves of juicy cherry tomato. It was very tasty! The Breakfast Burrito was equally amazing with its toasted tortilla wrap filled with everything memorable about breakfast: scrambled eggs, hash browns, chorizo, and even cilantro rice for good measure! To wash it all down, I got their Purple Dream signature drink. The ube coconut oat milk has a rich nutty flavor and the salted coconut cream on top adds a hint of salty contrast to the otherwise sweet drink. Not only are their food and drink amazing, they have a very inviting space for you to enjoy your order, whether inside or out on the patio. It's a fun location to catch up with friends and enjoy good food and drink. I'm delighted to have stumbled upon this amazing cafe and definitely encourage others to visit and give them a try! read more

Went this morning for coffee with a friend. Had an amazing experience. The cashier was very friendly and recommending which drinks to get. We got creamsicle and earl grey latte. It was beyond amazing and not too sweet. I recommend you try this place. The parking is crazy and the line is always out the door. It is worth the wait. You can order online and pick it up. It's a cute coffee boutique. read more

KIT coffee is a great coffee spot in Newport/Costa Mesa with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The employees are really nice and super helpful in answering questions about the menu.

The toast did not disappoint, I could why it's a popular item here. It's perfect when you add the lemon and I also ordered the matcha latte. With the latte I wish there was more of a matcha taste. I got it with oat milk and it only tasted like oat milk. The toast is crispy and all the flavors mesh well, it is the priciest one but it is definitely filling. The salmon is a little saltier than I would like but it's smoked. It does have a little spice read more

Visiting from out of town! This place was fantastic! We had to order GF and we got eggs, bacon and hashbrowns instead of the toast, it was great! and loved the vanilla latte and berry matcha. We will for sure come back here! read more

As an avocado toast connoisseur, I wanted to love this place and they just didn't make it easy. If I were to ever come back I would do an online order because those are the only orders they prioritize. We waited 40 minutes for 2 coffees and two avo toasts. Zero seats available which wasn't a bad thing because the furniture was beyond uncomfortable and we either had a dog barking at our feet or a child circling. After 40 min we asked if they could make our order to-go instead of dine-in. The coffee they gave me wasn't the one I ordered but at that time I was over it to wait for another. The toast was at least a decent portion and the server who rang in our order was very friendly. She was in the moment and enthusiastic about the product. Spent $40 + $5 tip. Definitely did not feel worth $45 value for our experience/ product. Wish we would've stayed with our usual, Keen coffee. More affordable, efficient, and better quality. Good luck avo lovers. read more

The girl with the brown bangs was so rude and practically tried to bully my friend when she asked for her avocado toast to be remade because the avocado was brown. She has a major attitude problem and will make this place lose business read more

* Well it's 7 AM and you want some caffeine * You're looking for a space that's modern and clean * Bring a laptop, a charger, and maybe some friends * And drive over to KIT for some good coffee blends! * They're located in a plaza along Westcliff Drive * Visitor parking is limited, minutes are five * Some spaces say, "PERMIT ONLY" on the ground * But there's plenty of spots, just have to drive around * The interior space is airy and bright * Large glass windows let in ample sunlight * Inside seating was packed, so we went outside * Decent amount of tables were left unoccupied * Everyone was cordial, the staff said hello * But just like other reviews, service was slow * Drinks were made quickly, food was a longer wait * Lots of time past before they brought out my plate * The menu consists of teas, mochas, and brews * With over 10 types of toasts, so many to choose * The shelf on the right displays beans for retail * Pastries and chocolates were also on sale * My order was simple, the latte was sweet * The chorizo was cold, should've asked to reheat * Taste-wise it was good and did not lack flavor * I finished it quickly, no moment to savor * Overall a nice coffee shop in Newport Beach * But I reside in SB, this is a bit out of reach. * Now I'm all out of rhymes, my brain is ceding * I'll end this review like Sherry C., thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

KIT Coffee - Iced Latte ⋅ Newport Beach, California - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Matcha is milk with some matcha dust. Tastes like straight up milk. The matcha shortage hit them too hard.

Very clean space and friendly staff! Parking is a little bit of a challenge, but it's nice to take a stroll through the center and peep at the other businesses! Kind of tight inside, but outdoor seating is available as well. I tried the iced mocha with oat milk and it was beautifully crafted -- just the perfect amount of creaminess from the milk and bitterness from the dark chocolate. If you're looking for something sweeter, ask for extra or choose something else. I genuinely enjoyed my drink and the espresso was smooth - not burnt! Would love to return and try more items, especially their food .. everything looks so fresh and great portion size! read more

Great coffee great food great ambience! A local favorite! You can order ahead if you're in a hurry too.

Amazing place! Incredible breakfast burritos and scrabbled eggs. The strawberry sparkplug coffee is delicious, too. Super friendly, suggest ordering on "Toast" ahead of time to avoid the lines. read more

This is such a beautiful coffee shop, I love the outside seating area too, it really gives room to spread out. Service is wonderful, coffee a great quality and good flavor. I recommend the coffee flight on your first visit to get a taste of what they have to offer. Prices are fair, great option in Newport Beach. read more
