Stopped in to try a new coffee spot and this one is a real winner. It's hidden in the commercial complex but it's very much worth seeking out. They have a real nice set up inside with a decent amount of seating both inside and out. The ambiance inside is very relaxing and much worth hanging for a bit, while you enjoy the coffee, which might I add is also well balanced and good. I got the cold brew with vanilla cold foam. The cold brew was well balanced and smooth. And that cold foam was the perfect amount of vanilla. There was only one barista but they were very kind. Overall, a definite spot to come back to and a definite reccomendation!
Lovely atmosphere. Great place to get some work done. Staff are extremely welcoming. Enjoyed the chai latte with macadamia milk.
Very lovely inside with some indoor plants and open space. There are not many seats and parking lot is tiny. Didn't know this place is a part of the marketing company. The service is nice but I ordered strawberry hibiscus. Damn it's sour. I can't even drink it. I can handle sour taste but first time tasting hibiscus this sour. Also it's very loud fyi
A modern minimalistic interior design coffee roasting shop with an organic touch. Soft indie music being played in the background. Descent amount of seating for those wanting to sit and sip. The staff was nice and fast with their services I ordered the Pistachio Latte which was rich, smooth, and creamy
Freelance Coffee Project was the perfect weekend pick-me-up between shopping and exploring! Dog friendly, lots of plants, and absolutely delicious coffee. I even treated myself to a POG DONUT!!? Say less. Service was fantastic! I'll definitely be returning to try more of their specialty beverages. :)
found this place on a whim! It has a gorgeous exterior and interior. They have a good selection of house made syrups and their prices are fair! My friend got a cap with their vanilla syrup and it was well balanced and tasty. I got their single origin pour over and it was also well balanced and smooth. This spot was pretty quiet so I could see it a good place to do work! There's some dedicated parking and street parking around the shop.
This place was pretty nice! Location wise, it was well hidden between office buildings. We came here on a friday and it was pretty busy. The parking lot was small though, so you for sure will need to do street parking in the area. The location was beautiful. A lot of green and open concept. It's a great place to hang out, work, study, etc. The drinks can be pretty pricey, but it's what you expect in Newport Beach. We ordered the strawberry matcha (in season) and a regular iced latte. Both were pretty tasty and refreshing, but both the size of the drinks were pretty small for that price - in total was $14. They do have wifi, but they kick you out after 1 hour, so it's pretty annoying if you're there for a while.
Super cute coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Open and spacious interior/exterior. Came on a Sunday morning around 12PM. Service was a bit slow as it seemed like there was only one worker. Drinks are a bit pricey ($7 for a small coffee). They do not have 2% milk or almond milk, but they do have oat milk and macadamia milk for $0.75 upcharge :( chaggaccino: 7/10. "mushroom powder enhancing" coffee. Tasted like a normal coffee with mocha flavoring. Nothing special
Really enjoy the outdoor floral seating area where gives a peaceful vibe. Came here for a run with Newport run club and had coffee and chocolate croissant with friends. Easy to order at the front counter and they just call your name out to pick up items. Definitely returning for quick fix. Parking on the street or inside but it is limited
I was immediately taken by the café's ambiance. The space strikes a thoughtful balance between industrial minimalism and warmth, with lush indoor plants softening the look of metal stools and exposed elements and a cozy fireplace. There's also a small outdoor seating area that adds to its charm. We ordered the iced matcha lattes, which were excellent--smooth, well-balanced, and refreshing. However, when we visited around noon on a Saturday, there was not a single seat available. While the interior aesthetic is modern and distinctly hip, the actual seating is quite sparse. That said, we still appreciated the experience and were pleasantly surprised to discover such a stylish and thoughtfully designed café tucked into a mostly warehouse area.
Really cute coffee shop with a great vibe. There's a lot of space, which makes it a nice spot to work from home or study for a few hours without feeling cramped. The atmosphere is cozy but still open, and it feels very welcoming. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. The flavor was smooth and nicely balanced -- not too sweet, not too bitter -- and the oat milk paired well with the espresso. My only small critique is the portion size. For about $8, the drink felt a bit small, especially if you plan to stay and work for a while. Overall, it's a lovely spot with good coffee and plenty of seating, just wish the portions matched the price a little more. Definitely still a nice place to check out if you're looking for a comfortable place to get work done.
Here I am decided to try a new coffee shop, and this place is such a unique one! The plants surrounding the area, inside felt super cozy sat at a table next to the fireplace, definitely in a hidden area surrounded by corporation plazas. Felt super earthy, warm and since I have never been here before, I asked the staff what is the most popular items on the menu. We ordered a vanilla latte and a Chagaccino. Flavors were very light and filling. They had your typical pastries did not get a chance to try them. Small menu, the only cons I had were not much parking space, and I wish the inside had more tables since it can get pretty crowded indoor. I did see some tables outside in the front, but they were wet, and it is cold outside so definitely did not want to be out there. I would come again since the ambiance was pretty neat.
Absolutely a hidden gem. The parking sucks and there's hardly seating, but overall it's nice. The window ambiance makes you feel like you're in a cabin in Lake Tahoe if you get the seating by the fireplace. The service is great and our barista helped us choose a drink as it was our first time.z The vanilla latte is generic, however not overly sweet or bland. Perfect balance. 5/5. I got the mushroom latte I think it's called chagacinno or however you spell it. I loved it. I never knew mushroom coffee can taste so good and give the same amount of energy and caffeine as regular coffee. 5/5. Overall if you're looking for a place to sit and relax, you might have to be a hawk when people get up. The fireplace was the perfect spot for the cold.
One of the best ATMOSPHERES in the area! Very MOODY with lots of seating and a FIREPLACE. The coffee was also good. With water, bathrooms and WiFi, you can't really beat this as a study spot. The hardest part was the street parking but if you're willing to walk it's usually fine. read more

A very unique coffee shop with a dreamy interior and a variety of different tables/set ups. We had a bookclub here (only 4 people) and found the most perfect big table in the center of the place for group discussion. The table could def have fit 7 or 8 people. LOVED that it was indoor and outdoor. I got the strawberry matcha which was delicious and a vibrant green color! Authentic! And the staff here are all lovely. Only hiccups were the WiFi was really slow and there weren't any accessible outlets next to the tables. I think that's criminal for a coffee shop imo. read more

very spacious and clean, lots of greenery as well. Indoor seating is slightly limited, there are some outdoor seating spots but they're are smaller. Glass cups are offered if you plan to sit there. Workers there are very social, nice, and helpful!! I got the matcha and their matcha is good, slightly on the milky side read more

Hey Emily! Thanks so much for coming by and taking the time to leave…
I visited Freelance Project with my friend on a Wednesday afternoon to get some work done. There's a lot right next to the building so parking was no hassle. I love the interior design & how lively the plants made the space look. There was a great balance of people focused on their work or on virtual meetings & people socializing with their friends. I just got one of the pressed juice bottles while my friend got a matcha, which she didn't think was very memorable. I really liked this cafe for studying, & I'd visit again to try their drinks & food! read more
Came here on a Saturday morning, not too busy, open and clean layout. Tried the pistachio latte and it was good! I didn't see any outlets here, and the wifi didn't work for me sadly. It was a gloomy day and I think they only rely on natural lighting, so the inside was a little dark for me to work! read more

I absolutely love the interior of this coffee shop! All the plants give it a very relaxing vibe that makes you really want to hang out there and take it all in. They had the fireplace going and it was so cozy. Service was nothing memorable, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The biggest downside here is definitely the lack of seating. Everything about this place screams "come hang out here" but we came to do some work on a not very busy afternoon and still found it tricky to find a comfortable place to sit. It seems spacious, but seating could be better. We just tried a chai and it was nothing to rave about, but I'll have to come back here and give this place another chance and try a few more things! I will be sure to update my review when we do :) thanks read more

Hey Jennifer thanks for stopping by! We would love for you to come…
Decided to go on an adventure and try a new spot yet again. Here we go! It's kind of funny because it is in corporate plaza so it's not really where you'd expect a coffee place like this to be. Vibe: Plants. Natural light. Cozy. Inviting. Open. These are all words I would use to describe this place. I looked to my left and looked to my right and seen a lot of grown adults sitting and doing their work here. There is this fun fireplace there that looked super cozy. I honestly wished I had more time to sit and stay because it seems like a place that I'd enjoy chilling at. Coffee: I had no idea what to get so I asked the really friendly girl taking my order what she liked. She said she liked the cortado both hot and cold. I wanted it warm so I got a hot cortado with vanilla syrup. It was delicious and I could tell that it was GOOD quality coffee. Food: I did not get any but they do have a case of pastries in case you're wondering and they look good! I'd definitely come back here. They totally have got it going on here. I love what they're doing. read more

Hey Sara, thanks so much for coming by and giving us a try! We are…
The cutest coffee shop! Such a good ambiance to get some work done or relax at. The coffee was pretty good, albeit the pistachio was a little bit too sweet, so make sure to adjust the sugar if you are concerned about that. It is a little pricey for the smaller sized coffees but I'd say it's worth it if you plan on staying and getting some work done! The staff is very kind and they are pretty fast. read more

Outstanding roast. The late was near perfection as was the Cortado. Enjoyed the ambiance as well, although I wasn't sure we were on our way to a highly rated coffee shop given the neighborhood setting--industrial! read more
The cutest decor and such good coffee. They have macadamia and oat milks as dairy alternatives and the coffee beans are single origin. Plenty of seating both indoor and outside and they have some pretty cool retail items. Baristas were nice and and quick. read more
I'm in LOVE! There is so much to love at Freelance Coffee Project. It's in a business area so it can be tricky to find. Once you find it, parking isn't an issue. You immediately feel the cozy and welcoming vibes once you walk in. Absolutely love that there's so much space, all kinds of seating, merch to buy and the coffee counter that's appealing. Baristas are great - totally accommodating, approachable and friendly. The drinks they made for us are delish! We could totally taste the flavors and the freshness! read more

很多時候你需要的不是更努力，而是一點篩選的能力，什麼事值得做，什麼人值得見，什麼時候要說No~ 今天來介紹一間在 Newport Beach 被美美綠色植物環繞的咖啡店，舊廠房改造，金屬結構的門框配合整牆爬滿藤蔓的風格， 自然清新，還沒喝上咖啡，就已經先愛上這裡的環境，不只環境美， 咖啡也是香濃的很， 配上粗獷的陶瓷咖啡杯和美美的拉花， 這樣來花6，7 元買一杯好喝的咖啡，很值得，任誰都會想多待一會兒，愛探咖啡店的美女們，大媽們， 這家咖啡廳很有特色歐！ read more

The staff are very friendly, the drinks are great and the atmosphere is beautiful with luscious plants which makes the industrial design very welcoming and cozy. I got an iced chai which was great and my sister had an iced americano and ham and cheese croissant. They also have vegan donuts which is a plus! read more

A fantastic coffee shop! The setup and open concept design is welcoming. All the greenery and seating area makes for a nice spot to journal, read, study and relax. The coffee is good and service was friendly. If anything, definitely check it out for the setup of the coffee shop! read more
My friend is in the coffee business so I trust her with my coffee life (and non-coffee lives too), and she took me here. Super non-descript from the outside, looks like an office building. But then you walk in and it's part co-working space part tropical garden part bean roastery. Loved the industrial garden vibe, coffee was tasty and the counter guy helped explain what a Sparky was (espresso and topo Chico I think). Will be back! read more

Gorgeous coffee shop hidden by green leaves in Costa Mesa. Even though it's sweater weather right now, the chic decor and its urban aesthetics makes it feel like it's spring time. It's a peaceful vibe. The soul music playing is chill too and not too loud. Everyone there was focus in their zone doing work. Grind don't stop. We ordered the vanilla latte, matcha drink, and hot chocolate. The drinks were a 5/5. The coffee wasn't too strong like I wanted, but the creaminess and flavor is all there. The hot chocolate wasn't that sweet; just right. The croissant was also delicious. The cheese added a nice touch. I wished I found this place sooner. It's pretty low key and I would be down to come back and study here. Don't wanna gatekeep this spot because this deserves the spotlight ay! read more
