So this is what coffee is supposed to taste like. This place will always be better in my opinion than any other place to get coffee. This location moved from Irvine off culver. I've been coming here for 25 years. I'm sad to see the Irvine location gone but as long as the same management and crew remains, I'm good. And this is a nice location too. It's our first official time here at this location. The bagels and lite bites are very good. The coffee is very good too. It's definitely worth the trip. read more

Cool shop with a nice vibe and a wide variety of food for breakfast to lunch to dessert and of course, a plethora of coffees. Lots to choose from for sandwiches and salads! This will be my regular go-to just walking distance from our new home. read more

I am so happy about this place! I've been here a few times now and every item I've tried has been delicious. The Apple Brie Chicken Panini is amazing. It's a little smaller than paninis I've had elsewhere but it's big on taste. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! I've also had their chocolate chip scone which had a great flavor, nice constancy, and was moist. I tried their vanilla latte today and it was super tasty. I love that their coffee is organic and they provide informational brochures on their coffee sources with a fun little stand to the left of the door. The staff here was friendly and the baristas were moving fast to get the orders made on a busy Saturday morning. Fun bit of info, I just learned that they offer an $8 Monday lunch which includes a choice of sandwich/panini/salad/wrap, a choice of potato salad/green salad/chips, and an iced tea! Definitely coming back for that. read more

I love Java Bakery Cafe!! Everytime I visit my mom we come here atleast once for a coffee, tea, bagel, and or breakfast burrito! It's located inside of the the Bayside shopping center near Pavilions. They have tons of outdoor seating and indoor seating if you decide to stay to eat your food here. They have a free flavor water station and blankets so if It's cold outside you can grab one of those! It's the perfect place to grab a coffee and or stay to get some work done! This bakery coffee shop is always buzzing with people but they have great service. Everytime I order the cashier is always so friendly and offer many good suggestions. Once you order your food and drink even if you are to go they give you a number and bring your food out too you which is great! They have some of the best bagel sandwiches in the area. Their breakfast burritos are my favorite too packed with tons of egg, beans, and your choice of meat! They also have great salads, sandwiches, and a huge selection of great tasty bakery goods. I love their coffee too! They can make any coffee drink iced or hot. They also make an incredible matcha green tea latte which I love! I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Newport Beach visiting my mom! I love this place! :) read more

Okay so I've tried this place twice. Once for breakfast and once for lunch(4 meals between two of us). The people are great and the decor and outdoor seating are very good as well but I've struggled to find any flavor in the meals served. It just seams like the food comes straight out of a bag or box and right to the plate. We paid $40 dollars for 2 very small meals that we were unhappy with. Not something I would want to do again. Keep in mind, this is not a review on the bakery side of things, just meals. The bakery looks amazing but haven't tried it and unfortunately I probably won't now. Hope this helps. read more

This place was always super close to where I live but I only became addicted to the house special bagel sandwich on an everything bagel near the end of my time in Newport Beach! I treated coworkers during my last week of my job to an assortment of bagel sandwiches as well as muffins and croissants and they did not disappoint! The staff here is very friendly as well. They make everything (including the bagels) in the bakery! read more

I agree with the "we live in Newport Beach" lady, the 4 berry smoothie was dead. More like a slurpee thing. Can't drink it because it's all ice. The burrito was peng but messy, see pictures. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would! We ordered 2 bagel sandwiches and 2 coffees for breakfast and received our order number and was told they would bring out the food when it was ready. Coffees arrived within 5 minutes however bagel sandwiches never came. We waited patiently until we noticed people who arrived 20 to 30 minutes after us were already eating. Went I to ask about order and they said it was coming. Gentleman came out 5 minutes later with a sandwich in wich we didn't order. 45 minutes and no food. Went in demanded refund of cost of food ant I had already added a 20% tip so asked for that back too. No apology from the manager. So frustrating! read more

2nd visit. Still pleased. The potato salad is traditional style and perfect with the veggie and cheese sandwich. I'll be back to try a coffee and muffin soon. read more

We were staying at Newport dunes during the pandemic and rode our bikes to Java bakery. I found it on Yelp based on reviews. I had an incredible bagel sandwich. My 12-year-old son said it was the best he's had! The line was long and out the door but they did a great job of social distancing and it was definitely worth the wait. read more

Delicious! Love the decadent ham & cheese croissant! Also the scoops of tuna, egg or chicken salads

i have been going to java bakery cafe since they opened. it is a great little cafe for coffee, snack, breakfast and lunch. you go in feeling a stranger and leave feeling as if you've made friends. the food is good and the service is great. my friends and i have had johanna serve us and always enjoy a friendly chat and excellent service johanna gives us, as well as the other staff. read more

This place always has the freshest tasting food and drinks and great service. My go to whenever I'm visiting Newport Beach! Their coffee selection is great too and don't forget an incredible pastry selection. read more

Oatmeal is the worst I've ever tasted in my life. Despite instructions telling him to make it extra thick, they instead make it extra loamy and soupy in consistency. When you dare to complain, their snotty answer is this is a recipe and they're too busy anyway, take it or leave it. Burritos fall apart at the slightest touch and cannot be eaten by hand. Will never do business with them again. Overpriced snobatorium. NOT RECOMMENDED! read more

Bagel sandwich was great. Delivery was flawless. Tried the jalapeño bagel and it was the perfect late breakfast.

Took over 30 min to get a burrito... when it was finally ready, it was cold... very disappointed

Very expensive. The croissant was soft and chewy instead of flaky and the tea is $5. Ridiculous

It's about time I write a review of Java. I love this place and it's not in small part due to the fact that the people here are warm, welcoming, and wonderful. The family that owns it is lovely, and they quite obviously ensure that their staff treats customers just as they do. There are so many places in Orange County to grab a coffee and a pastry or salad or whatever... But I come here. Because the coffee drinks are yummy, they take pride in what they do, and also it's a lovely space in a pretty location, to boot. Also pistachio muffins! Pistachio muffins! Yes! (If y'all order these pistachio muffins and they're sold out when I go I'm going to be heated). read more

This is my go to breakfast spot before my bike ride on the Back Bay. The staff is super friendly and very courteous.

The best cafe and bakery in town. My boys love their chocolate croissant. Everything is so fresh and tasty. Jave Bakery Cafe is a gem in Newport Beach and owner and staff are very friendly. read more

We ordered the Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap yesterday and it was just ok. Barely had any turkey, bacon or Swiss cheese on it, the majority of the wrap was lettuce. Could have used more Ranch dressing as well. I'm not sure if this is how this wrap normally is or because of the pandemic, they're going light on ingredients but I wouldn't order it again. read more

You have to try to be this bad. Chai latte was room temperature and overly sweet, the croissant was stale, left both on table. Not worth the calories. read more

My fiancé and I went to Java Bakery Cafe for our first time today! The food was amazing, especially the California Breakfast Bagel. The owners were super welcoming and even brought out a cup of water for our dog. We'll definitely be back! read more

A shade of its former self. I hate to leave this review but this incarnation of Java bakery is NOTHING like the old java city that used to be here. I went on the opening Saturday and the food was OK, the service was slow, but I figured, that's OK it's their opening weekend. I went about a month later and got a breakfast sandwich on my way to work, it was once again OK, and the service was slow (WAY too slow to wait in the morning for my sandwich on the go, it took about 15 minutes and they weren't busy at all). So I give it one more try after they have been open now for 6-7 months and the service was incredibly slow, I believe they lost our order as we were sitting outside because people who came 15 minutes after us got their food about 10 min after they came and the person who brought their food confirmed with us what we had even though there was the table. Umber clearly displayed that they could have looked up the order. That makes 3 separate times that they have been incredibly slow. I figure after 6-7 months this would be ironed out but it's just simply unacceptable and there is no way it's just coincidental, because it took the people after us a long time to get what should have taken 3-5 minutes tops at any other place. I really want this place to be as good or even close to what it used to be when it was java city but it's not and I don't believe that it ever will be. Sadly I probably won't be giving it another try. read more

The coffees were amazing, fresh made pastries, and breakfast sandwiches were AWESOME! I would check this place out. For three people it was MORE than reasonably priced, especially considering the great location! Chai Tea Latte was the way to go there - almost ordered a second one to-go! Bacon egg and cheese on a bagel was awesome but the cinnamon roll really sealed the deal. Will be back! read more

Most gracious and lovely cafe. They treated my family so well and spoiled my little 8 month old. Gourmet bagel and caramel macchiato were excellent. Wonderful experience. read more
