I really enjoy the iced latte with banana cold foam (it tastes so fresh and not artificial at all, which I love), and the homemade butter mochi and blueberry muffin/cake are both incredibly delicious, soft, and uniquely chewy in the best way! The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the owner is so kind and friendly, I always enjoy chatting with her when I visit! It just feels like a place that's made with a lot of care, and that really shows in both the food and the experience.

Service was very nice and friendly as well. The orange blossom latte was really tasty and had such a nice flavor to it. The New Orleans coffee is also so good and definitely worth trying. Overall, such a charming coffee spot with a great atmosphere and location.

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.

Finally get to cross the famous KIT Coffee off my bucket list…read more 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.

As a pug mom myself, I couldn't help but smile at all the adorable ways Frenchies were incorporated within the shop's atmosphere. The service was really incredible. The two bobaristas were exceptionally kind and welcoming. They were quick with making my drink and even filled up my Stanley tumbler with water. I ordered the "Salted Vietnamese Coffee" and am so happy I did. The actual drink itself is one of the most delicious, creamy, flavorful Vietnamese coffees I've ever had. I highly recommend trying this drink out if you're on a hunt for a good Vietnamese coffee in the Costa Mesa and Newport area. Parking lot is located behind the shop. It's quite small, but I had no problem finding a space. Will definitely be visiting again!

I ordered two drinks: Phoenix Oolong Tea Latte with boba with 75% sugar and Matcha Tea Latte with…read more75% sugar and light ice as well. Both were impressed. The boba was chewy and soft enough in the tea latte but quickly harden in an hour so I have to finish it quick. I was more impressed with the matcha because they really used ceremonial matcha and this tasted much better than at multiple cafe nearby. I will prefer this in a smaller size because it's hard for me to finish all in one seating. It might seem a bit pricey but given the size, it's all worth the price. Order is done using a self-order kiosk so it's very convenient. Parking is easy to find as well. There are a lot of bubble teas nearby but they are of a few using real mike instead of powder so definitely worth the shot and taste much fresher

The winter melon milk…read moretea is what I always get and it never disappoints as it's smooth, not too sweet, and honestly the perfect midday reset. The drink comes out really fast too which is a nice bonus for the office workers nearby. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that it can feel a little inconsistent sometimes. Some visits are perfect, others the drink tastes slightly different or the experience just feels off. Nothing deal-breaking but enough to notice. Wish there were a bit more spots to sit down but it's still modern and clean. Still a solid spot and I keep coming back, so that says enough.

A man walked in with a husky puppy and they all stopped to say hi ahha it was so cute. We walked down from our Airbnb when we were on vacation this past weekend. The girl helping us was really nice. They had a variety of teas and my husband loves tea so he got the peach tea. It was sooo good! I ordered the matcha and that was delicious! WOW!

Great French cafe style mugs for the coffee. The bill can run up a little but they deserve it if not more. There's no wholesale dough found at this place. If I could make croissants like theirs I can die happy and proud.

They did have fresh blueberry muffins just out of the oven. The helpful gentleman also went over what croissants were available and daughter chose the popular pistachio croissant and an almond croissant. She also got 3 Madeleines for the tea party and wished to try the Pear Charlotte which the very pleasant man affirmed was a good choice. The madeleines had a mild citrus taste and was well liked. One of our guests asked to take one home with her. The croissants were amazing and we will need to get the almond chocolate one next time. The Pear Charlotte is a cake filled with cream surrounded by what appears to be lady fingers topped with a thick pear slice. We had not asked for pricing, but receipt shows the bakery is pricey.
