Blk Dot is a solid coffee shop. They boast a great independent coffee shop vibe and an upscale feel to the place, while also capitalizing on a wide offering of Vietnamese Coffee, which is something a lot of independent coffee shops don't offer. The service here was quick and concise, the baristas were friendly and helpful with ordering and were exactly what you should expect from a craft coffee shop. There wasn't anything overtly special about the mocha that I ordered. It was a bit chocolate heavy and the coffee flavor didn't push through much at all, but every place does it a bit different. It wasn't bad by any means! We didn't try any food or pastries, but the offerings all looked pretty good. I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you want a good coffee joint in the area. read more

I usually go to their other location but since I was in the area, we decided to stop by. It's a great location with beautiful views right across the street. They have food as well but we just got the yuzu matcha and lite Vtm on this visit. Good seating in the store with lots of light. And the drinks are great! read more

Upscale coffee shop in Newport Coast - stopped by with friends to meet an old mentor yesterday morning for brunch. I ordered a matcha latte and a fiesta bowl ($21.78 before tip) and enjoyed both. We sat indoors as the outside tables were occupied and caught up on life, health and the secret to happiness. The parking lot was quite full. The good citizens of Orange County had driven over in their finest automobiles on this fine Sunday morning. Among the Bentleys and Lamborghinis I spotted my favorite - a powder blue Porsche 1956 convertible 356 Speedster - and I smiled! Will be back! read more

If you're in the Crystal Cove area and in need of a caffeine boost, this place has great drinks especially if you're into Vietnamese coffee. Blk Dot has a few locations in OC but this is one of the nicest ones being in the Crystal Cove shopping center right along PCH with the ocean just across the way. On a weekday morning it was quiet and my order was ready right away. They're known for Vietnamese coffee, but they have other coffee and tea drinks too. I had their Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte ($7.95/large) and it was very refreshing. I could taste the citrus yuzu and it had the right amount of sweetness. It was perfect with whole milk but you can also sub for other milks. They have some tables inside as well as outside. It's a nice spot to grab coffee with a friend or do some work. read more

Great Thai latte and a fiesta bowl is my go to order. The view is stunning and I prefer the experience to the laguna one down the street.

I was in this shopping center and decided to stop in. All I got was a caramel macchiato and it was very good. It was about 1pm and the place was packed. Surprisingly I got my drink pretty fast. The place is very modern and clean looking. With the Pacific Ocean right across the street, just a nice place all around just to hang out at. Price was the same as Starbucks. Parking lot is pretty busy but plenty of parking available towards Traders Joe. read more

Stopped to have my favorite Vietnamese coffee at Blk Dot coffee in Newport Beach. . Today I tried the light were was perfect. Not to sweet! And we had the matcha latte. Both were delicious. They had a steady flow of customers coming in, but it wasn't so crazy of a wait time. If you're looking to stroll the area I recommend trying their coffee if you haven't already. I highly recommend! . read more

YUMMMM Ordered a Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte, Ultimate Brekkie Bowl, and the Breakfast Sausage Bowl. I really enjoyed my breakfast! I absolutely adored my matcha latte! I couldn't taste the yuzu as much (I could taste acidity but it wasn't prominently yuzu), but I looooved the flavor of the mango with the matcha. A delicious drink! The breakfast bowls were yummy and hearty. The egg frittata in the bowl was SO good. I wanted more! Between the two bowls, I preferred the Ultimate Brekkie Bowl because I thought the bacon had better flavor compared to the sausage. Overall, I'd totally eat here again! read more

I've been going to Blk Dot for years and they have a bunch of locations in SoCal, but this is one of my fave Blk Dot locations and just coffee spots in general. View is gorgeous. I love getting the VTM with sea salt foam on top (would recommend that if it's your first time), otherwise they have other good viet coffee options and seasonal options as well. The VTMatcha and Pumpkin creme latte (seasonal) are also good drinks to get! Service is always good read more

Coffee 4/5 We ordered the Spanish Latte and Vietnamese Iced Coffee, and both were pretty good. We were told the Vietnamese Iced Coffee was a popular choice, so we decided to try something new. It wasn't bad, but it was a bit stronger than I personally prefer. Overall, the coffee was good and definitely worth trying! Food 3/5 We ordered a jalapeño bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese, along with a breakfast bowl. The food was okay, but I was definitely more of a fan of the coffee. The coffee stood out much more than the breakfast items. Customer Service 5/5 Customer service was amazing! The cashier was super friendly and patient. I really appreciate when you walk into a place not knowing exactly what to order, and the staff takes the time to offer friendly suggestions without making you feel rushed or pressured. It made the whole experience so enjoyable! Ambience 5/5 I love that this coffee shop is so close to the beach--it's the perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. The location is absolutely beautiful and feels both nice and safe. A great place to unwind! Cleanliness 5/5 Really clean ! read more

This place is great across the board but what makes it is definitely the location! Located right off Coast Highway, it offers views of the ocean from their outdoor seating. The staff greeted me when I arrived which always makes an experience a little bit more memorable. The coffee is rich and flavorful and the blueberry muffin is light and fluffy. Overall, this place is a must in my book! read more

Came in on a Saturday around 5 p.m. and it was not busy. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately the bakery item case had three fruit flies inside, absolutely not pleasant. The bathroom had no paper towels to dry your hands and the trash bin had towels piled to the brim with discarded towels. read more

Out for some tea and coffee after Javier's for an early dinner. Friendly staff and helpful. This Thai tea hit the spot with the creamy texture and light sweetness. Open and airy indoor space. Cozy outdoor seating and lounging, shaded and enjoy the arm chairs and couches. Perfect afternoon. Parking can be a challenge with all the businesses in this area. read more

Just opened in the Crystal Cove Shopping Center. It has a very cool hip atmosphere that reminds me of Matte Black Coffee in LA. They have coffee, matcha, food and snacks. There is an ocean view, seating inside and seating outside. The employees are nice and I recommend going here for the experience. The only downside is that it's not organic and they don't have clean milk options o good Mylk. This is also a few doors down from another coffee shop which is pretty odd. read more

My husband and I were having a late lunch next door at Bear Flag and I decided I wanted some Vietnamese iced coffee. I ordered the iced LVTM because it's made with espresso and not with the slow drip Vietnamese coffee so it supposedly had less caffeine. I should have asked them to make it with decaf espresso but forgot. What a rookie mistake. The drink was made quickly and I had a sip before leaving the cafe. My husband had a sip and was a fan as well. I only bought it because I wanted to stay awake for the concert we were attending later that evening. But the caffeine kept me up until 2 am. But if you are in need of caffeine, I suggest you head over to Blk Dot to get your fix. read more

Ordered drinks at this new BLK location today and my best friend's stinkin' cute one-year old unfortunately swiped a cold brew right off the table.

Some of the nicest service I've experienced and the drinks turned out great! Thank you! read more

Hahaha this was a new one. I have very sensitive teeth so I asked for my beverage to be without ice. She said we can't do that. You have to get ice. If you think that extra ounce of milk is cutting from your profit then fill up my cup 3/4 way up. Not OK read more

Brand new location in Crystal Cove! Service was wonderful, the café is beautiful with plenty of inside and outside seating. Easy parking right out front.

I typically have an alright experience at this location but there's a tall young man with a center part in his hair that is horribly rude and dismissive to all customers. unfortunately I will not be returning after seeing how he treated a sweet older woman that was just asking for a recommendation on their coffees that cost no less than $7. Do better BLK Dot. read more

Stopped into Blk Dot Coffee today for the first time and it truly won't be my last! So glad for the upgrade from the Starbucks that was in this location for so many years. The shop is so bright and airy with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. I love the minimalist vibe and trendy decor. The staff were very friendly and the coffee was amazing! I was expecting it to be super pricey because of the location but I was thrilled to see it was quite reasonable - $6.50 for a large latte with Oat-milk. I walk a lot in this area and will happily stop in at the end of each outing for a cup of coffee to enjoy on my way home. Welcome to the neighborhood, Blk Dot! read more

The service was extremely disappointing. My drinks came out significantly late, even though I had ordered well before several others. I watched multiple people--who arrived and placed their orders after me--receive their drinks ahead of mine. One couple ordered after me and got their drinks before I did. Then a woman walked in, placed her order right in front of my eyes while I was still waiting, and received her drink before mine as well. By the time my order was finally called, yet another couple--different from the first--had already received theirs before mine, despite ordering after me. To make matters worse, the drinks (two Spanish lattes) were bland and poorly made. It's unacceptable for such a small order to be both delayed and improperly prepared, especially when the café wasn't even busy. Prioritizing certain customers over others is unacceptable. This kind of service should never happen again. read more

My fiancée and I are frequent remote workers that used to go to the Starbucks that used to be here. I'm so happy that a black dot coffee opened here and replaced the monopoly of Starbucks! I really like their unique Asian inspired drinks here from Thai tea to Vietnamese coffee and Japanese matcha. I usually order the matcha iced latte which is so refreshing, creamy, and not overly sweet. It reminds me a lot of the moon goat iced matcha which is one of my favorites spots! I also like that the cafe is dog friendly with lots of seats to work or study. I love the hustle and bustle of people always around this area and enjoy working in this kind of environment, and bringing my dog is a plus too! read more
