Salt & Foam Coffee - Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

So so delicious I've had the strawberry matcha and the honey matcha. Definitely want to come back and try all the other options.

Very modern clean aesthetic. The honey whipped matcha is absolutely delightful. The whipped honey is insanely creamy, and the matcha itself is a good creamy level as well. The pistachio latte is alright. Fun pistachio bits, but the flavor of both the foam and the espresso could be stronger. Just personal preference read more

Salt & Foam Coffee - Honey whipped matcha and pistachio latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Went on a Saturday morning and there was a line going out the door but they worked pretty quick. Super cute cafe in general with some seating inside. I'd also probably try to come back on a day when I have more free time so I can get my drink and walk around the beach Banana pudding latte: 5/5 I liked this a lot. It wasn't too heavy which was surprising for a cream top drink and sweet but not artificial banana sweet My cousins also got these drinks and liked them a lot: strawberry matcha, dot cake matcha, honey whipped matcha. I thought the matcha flavor was def there but the default was pretty sweet read more

Salt & Foam Coffee - banana pudding coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Was walking around the area but their menu caught my eye! I love a good foam and saw that each drink had a different foam to choose from! I got the mango dream matcha and lotus coffee and they were both soo good! Not too sweet and had a good strength to each coffee/matcha! They have so many options of foam, including the trendy cup cake "dot" cake vibe! I didnt anticipate on getting their frozen yogurt but it looked so good so i had to try. I got the honey as a toping and it went so well with the yogurt! The yogurt is not the traditional froyo vibe, rather its thick and creamy- you can really tell they use high quality yogurt and honey! Service was friendly despite the long lines out the door! Parking can be rough especially on weekends since its in a prime location by the beach! read more

If parking wasn't terrible, this place would have five stars. If you follow me, you know that I am a Matcha tonic connoisseur. I've been looking around to find the best Macha tonic and this place has a pretty solid cup. Located on a very busy street parking is scarce and you have to pay for parking. The café is cute and it has a mid to high frequency vibe. The flavor of the Yuzu and the tonic flow very well together and I would definitely come here more often if it wasn't located on such a busy street. read more

Great spot by the beach, right outside the farmers market on Sundays! The coffee was delicious and such a great variety! The pastries were exquisite too! Plenty of room to sit and enjoy... only downside was no restrooms for patrons. read more

Salt & Foam is definitely one of the more trendy coffee shops in the area. They have pretty much every viral drink and dessert you see online. Which is good cause u can try all the cool things in one place. They use Stereoscope coffee, which is a solid choice but def a more trendy beans choice. I also loved that they offer frozen Greek yogurt. It seems like they're the only place in the area doing it, and it was a nice change from the usual frozen yogurt or ice cream options. we got a half sweet banana cream matcha. It was good. And I'm sooo happy I got the half sweet cause it was great balance. We also got the hojicha latte but got it as is and it was waaaay to sweet for our liking so def should have gotten it half sweet too. Overall, everything was good, and it's a great spot if you're already in the neighborhood. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but I'd definitely stop in again if I was nearby. read more

Salt & Foam is an incredible coffee shop. Parking is a bit of a challenge but it's worth it! The cafe is airy, open the big windows flood the space with lots of sunlight. Best part about being a cafe right by the beach There is seating for quick to chats/catch ups but if you were hoping to work here or study, the tables are too small, and are more for your drinks, and the chairs are stools so wouldn't be comfortable for long term sitting. Their matcha and coffee is from stereoscope, so if you enjoy that, i think you'd like this place as well Ok to the important things One of my favorite things is that All of their signature foam tops are made in-house!!! aaaaand you can sample them before committing to your cream top. Such a thoughtful touch! They have an amazing selection of matcha lattes and coffee lattes, so there's truly something for everyone. They also offer a variety of fresh baked pastries savory and sweet. I got the matcha latte with pistachio cream top My friends got the lotus latte with banana cream top, and latte with lotus cookie cream top Everyone absolutely looooveed their drinks My matcha was perfectly balanced umami nutty and the pistachio foam top gave it the perfect level of sweetness that wasn't overpowering. I'm more of a plain matcha latte gal and don't like the extra fluff but I really enjoyed the cream tops here since they actually were flavorful not just sugary. The only feedback I'd have for the cafe is for the sampling of the cold foams should be done in tiny paper sample cups instead of the wooden spoon cause that drips everywhere. Overall love this cafe! My new fave spot for sure. I'm already planning my next visit because I need to try more of their drinks. read more

Salt & Foam Coffee - Iced Madagascar vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I went in with my friend on a Thursday morning and they were definitely busy! Located a convenient 5 minutes away from Newport Beach, this coffee shop had a wide variety of drinks to pick from. The line moved pretty quickly, which was nice. The person at the register was super nice and gave me some recommendations. After we ordered our drinks, we sat on the bench along the window. There are plenty of tables to sit and chat at, so I loved that! I think all the drinks we got were absolute hits and I'll be back for the greek yogurt froyo again! instagram: @myfavenoms read more

Salt & Foam Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Cutest new coffee shop by Newport Pier!! Love the branding, space, and decor ~ can see this becoming popular with the Pinterest/IG girlies. I believe they're owned by the same owners as Febe Coffee as they have a very similar drink menu. We ordered the lotus matcha (matcha with a biscoff cream top and biscoff crumbs) and matcha einspanner. The cream tops themselves were absolutely delish but the matcha base was lacking, very diluted & almost tasteless. The owner was super sweet though and offered us free ice-cream. Weirdly, the ube flavor tasted like a tarte yakult so that was completely unexpected...can't say I'm a fan. Overall, I'm not too surprised as my experiences at Febe Coffee have always been a miss. I don't know if I'd come back tbh :') read more

It's literally Stereoscope Coffee with a different title. (I do not like stereoscope coffee or matcha) This place is super popular because it is trending online for its Dot Cake Matcha. The drink is not sweet enough. The cold foam just tastes like a heavy cream foam & the matcha itself does NOT taste good. Your mouth will have a dry feeling after each sip. I do not recommend ordering matcha from here. The presentation is a 10/10 though so if you only care about the photos then go for it. The Lotus Coffee Latte was alright. I will never return to Salt & Foam but if I did, I guess I would just order one of the coffees. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Great new addition to balboa! I popped in after a Pilates class nearby and was happy to see that this side of Newport finally has trendy matcha /coffee drinks. The staff is very kind and helped us with samples of the soft serve Greek yogurt, which I highly recommend. I know Greek yogurt is quite popular at the moment, and staff told me this soft serve is made in-house. Flavors include plain, ube, and matcha; each order comes with a topping. Such a filling and healthy-ish treat. The double matcha drink was quite solid. No complaints and it's probably the best matcha in Newport. I was able to make adjustments with sweetness too. Plenty of seating and space to catch up with friends and people watch. Would love seats with back-rests though, it doesn't feel right leaning against the glass. No bathroom either, sadly. I think parking might be tough but there is some street parking right out front if you're just grabbing a drink. Staff recommended parking in the residential areas for free parking. I did come on July 4 weekend though so I'm not sure how the situation is normally. read more

Great coffee and love that they have so many options. As a person that loves coffee and has a best friend that loves matcha, it's a great place that offers the same signature drinks but in both options. The workers were also quick on making the drinks especially with the long line outside the door. The only real issue is the parking. Because it's in Newport and in a high populated area, we had to park kind of far. So just a heads up when arriving to this place. read more

Salt & Foam Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

There are lots of good, local, specialty coffee spots in Newport, especially when you get closer to the beach. Salt and Foam should take its place in the rotation. It is perfectly located if you're spending a day at the beach, it is within walking distance of the pier and all the public parking by the Newport Municipal Beach. The decor was very Gen Z mid-century color pop aesthetic. Lots of light wood grain and concrete. Seating situation is a little weird, with a lot of tiny tables that look like chairs but labeled very tackily (albeit clearly) as tables. My suggestion: drop that whole situation and do four regular cafe tables like the two at the far end of the dining space. Service was quick and the order was accurate. Hard to mess up the service element of a walk-up coffee spot. The real challenge is in crafting a unique and flavorful cup and that is where Salt and Foam stands out. Just an excellent latte. Perfectly roasted beans, perfectly pulled shot, perfectly mixed with milk and vanilla syrup. Just exquisite. I will certainly return. read more

Matcha latte was mid, too sweet and lacked a strong flavor even when I adjusted the sweetness. The service was pretty slow, but I know they're still pretty new-ish. Parking is tricky! I think they have a pretty decent selection of trendy drinks, but nothing special. Nice to see they're getting lots of business though! read more

I really enjoyed this place! I had the double matcha, and I loved how much flavor was in the matcha foam. The drinks were very reasonably priced, as I paid $7.50 for mine (no milk sub) The workers were so sweet but my only complaint is the parking situation. I wasn't willing to pay for parking so I had to park in a complex that was quite a bit of a walk away. There's paid parking spots closer to the place though read more

I have been WAITING for a place like this to open in Newport! My sister and I ordered the Whipped Honey Latte, and it was a 10/10. We were both obsessed! It was on the sweeter side, but the rich coffee flavor still came through so nicely. I can't wait to go back and try more. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly! I had my dog with me, and everyone was saying hello to him, which made me feel so welcome. I could even tell my pup was enjoying the vibes and the cool floor after our long walk over there. I also loved how spacious it was inside. This is definitely going to be our new spot. So happy Salt & Foam opened in such a great location! read more

Discovered this new coffee shop in its opening week. The coffee shop itself is huge & has potential for really cute aesthetic interior decor. Now back to the coffee, I tried all 3 of the coffees and they were all really good! I couldn't decide on which one to keep for myself but they were all delicious. This coffee shop definitely has the potential to be one of the newest trendy coffee shops in Newport Beach! As far as service goes, it was evident they had just new & had just opened and were getting the hang of placing orders into the system so be a little more gracious & mindful of that when visiting! read more

Salt & Foam Coffee - One double matcha, a banana matcha & a banana coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Omg! This place has such great service and very flexible in their orders. This is my FIRST TIME EVER, having a cafe telling me that they could do a full cup even if I ask for less ice. So EVERYTIME when I asked for less ice or no ice, staff will give me that LOOK. However, I just don't like to drink ice cold drinks!! But I also don't want to drink hot drinks in summer time, why some cafe have to give me a hard time about it? I don't mind it has less drink, or if I even have to pay for no ice (because then they will have to put more ingredients) which I would understand. But this place amazes me, because I am about to have my period (yes, I am obviously an Asian ) so I just want to order no ice, but I am worried for the look of the staff, so I choose less ice instead. But the staff told me very nicely, she said, since you order less ice, would you want more milk or more foam? I was shocked! I fall in love with this place right away! Yes just because of that. Just want to say thank you for doing that, that's very thoughtful. Love it so much! And the drink is great too!! I want both banana and ube, the staff said I can do both on the same cup! So flexible read more

So so so good!! I'm so excited to have some real matcha on the peninsula! I love all the drink options! For some reason, it reminds me of one of my favorite places Febe, in Irvine. I suspect the original owners are behind Salt & Foam, so yk it's good! I've tried a few drinks so far - Dot Cake Matcha, just your classic matcha einspanner w sprinkles (if you're ordering this we know it's all for a picture ) and then the guava matcha, soo good. Not too sweet w the foam but you can always adjust sweetener. But my favorite is the Peanut Cream Coffee. WOW. Definitely on the sweeter side as is but if you love peanut butter, highly recommend. Also, it's not overpowering, mixed w the espresso, it's the perfect combination. Excited to try the banana and cinnamon roll drinks! Congrats Salt & Foam and thanks for existing in the one place that needed it. read more

We recently stayed in Newport Beach for a week and tried Salt & Foam the very first morning, and couldn't stop going back each day. Everything from the coffee/drinks to the pastries, and even the service was nothing short of amazing! They have multiple different homemade cold foams you can choose from to either put on top of your coffee or matcha drinks. My personal favorite was an iced americano with their honey whipped foam on top. All of their employees are very friendly as well, which was the cherry on top! If you're in the area and you love coffee, you need to come try this place! read more
