Kit Coffee has been saved on my cafe list for so long and I finally was able to try it and needless to say, I definitely enjoyed it. The service here is so kind and the staff helped us recommend drinks for our first time there. The cafe itself is small but there is a lot of seating options both inside and outside of it. I ordered the Blueberry Pie Matcha, which seemed to be a seasonal item and it genuinely tasted like a blueberry pie (would recommend for anyone who like really sweet lattes or a "sweet treat" type of drink). My friend ordered their famous "Thank You Berry Matcha" and I got to try it. It was super yummy, sweet but not too sweet and the strawberry matcha flavor was pleasant. The breakfast burrito was also good! I really liked the hot sauce it came with and it was a nice savory bite to pair with our drinks. My only complaint was that the Wi-Fi here wasn't seem to be connecting to any of my devices or my friend's (maybe this was user error on my behalf) but I would advise maybe staying inside the cafe if you want to get working Wi-Fi. Parking is also validated if you park at the parking garage behind Kit for 90 minutes! Overall, I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks! read more

I visited this specific KIT Coffee location for the first time on a busy Thursday morning. I have been to the Newport location many times, so I was excited for a change in scenery and to observe similarities and differences between the two locations. This trip to KIT started a bit chaotically as I did not expect to find this location in the middle of a dense business complex, which made parking a bit difficult (there's a paid parking garage) and added a few minutes to our trip. If you're short on time, plan accordingly. However, once we were in, we were nicely welcomed by 2 employees. This interior is on the smaller end with limited indoor seating, but ample outdoor seating right in front of KIT. An ideal place if you're looking for somewhere to do work outside. We decided to stick to drinks: Iced Triple Double Matcha & (an employee recommended) Salted Caramel Matcha. These drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time and were both very flavorful. It was actually my friend's first time at KIT, and now she's obsessed! read more

Kit never stops making excellent coffees. This time I tried their pumpkin latte and I was pleasantly impressed with how strong the pumpkin flavor was and it wasn't too sweet (I did ask for half sweet, it was perfect). The flavor was what you would want from a true PSL, not the sugary cinnamon overpowering flavor you get other places. The parking is really annoying since I was trying to grab and go but the service is great and you can tell the employees have fun there. The seating is nice and spacious, and everything was clean. Love Kit!! read more

Parking: in the structure! Do not forget your slip when you come in, and KIT does give you validation for 90 minutes, which is such a nice perk. Everyone here is very sweet and helpful, and the matcha here is excellent. I got the "lavender fields" matcha with whole milk (complimentary) and my friend inhaledddddd her "triple double" matcha so fast, I figured she would order another one. I LOVE their breakfast burritos here, including the salsas that come with them. The inside of this coffee shop is small and intimate, but when you step outside, the world is beautiful and spacious and you feel so serene with the grass and water and enjoying the breeze. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! It's tucked away in a corporate building but the coffee was absolutely amazing and refreshing while the lox avocado toast was delicious and was a hefty portion. They also validate parking so make sure to ask before you leave! read more

This is one of the best coffee spots in OC! Parking sucks but it's worth it. They make all their syrups in house and they're so flavorful and delicious. The coffee is strong and bold and absolutely delicious. The workers are friendly and kind and there's lots of space to study or hanging! read more

The blueberry matcha was good, wasn't too sweet or too watery. The breakfast burrito tortilla was a bit too burnt so it was crumbling as I ate and the chorizo didn't have much flavor. May have visited on an off day. Otherwise, the employees are friendly and the ambience is nice. Parking is mainly in one of those corporate garages. read more

Located in the middle of business area. Paid parking in the structure yet they do validate for 90min with purchase. Beautiful aesthetic inside, good variety menu. Was looking forward to try their matcha here but I say it's mid.. very watered down and even on my pic, doesn't have a a strong vibrant matcha flavor.. somewhat disappointing for $7.5.. the staff was also not very helpful and somewhat had an attitude..not sure if it was just not a good day for her Overall good option if you work in the area but I wouldn't go make an effort to come.. read more

KIT coffee has really good drink selections, I'm a matcha fanatic and the matcha here was pretty good I'd go again.

I'm happy to say I've come back! I forgot to update but I've become a fan of their strawberry matcha, chai, and their burritos. Their strawberry matcha isn't strong in matcha but it has a fresh strawberry taste. They do prebatch their matcha if you cared or not. Service is as kind as ever! And I still enjoy coming by periodically. They validate parking as well c: ! Thank youuu read more

Food: Their strawberry matcha was amazing and half the drink is sweet and strawberry flavored if you're into sweeter matches! Also, tried their secret garden bagel which had many toppings and was delicious and filling!! Service: The waiter was so nice and recommended many of their popular sellers, such as their strawberry and double matchas. My only suggestion would be that I wish they had a text system to know when your order is ready as that way, if you're sitting in a library table slightly far away, you know to get your order. Ambiance: OMG it's so nice to enjoy free parking at the Newport Beach library, then go grab a drink/snack at Kit, and work outside/inside!! Makes you look forward to studying/working, so please try!! Hope you try Kit as their drinks are yummy and the location is so convenient for studying/working!! read more

I used to go to the KIT Coffee in Newport Beach but it's always a bit of a trek and a longer wait. Really thankful for the location of the Irvine one. It's located in a large corporate plaza but the vibes are nice with covered outdoor seating and the fancy water features. We got a classic Cappuccino and one of their popular drink called Strawberry Alarm Clock. Cappuccino | $5.50 - While the cappuccino doesn't blow you away liek some other third wave coffee shop, this was a solid cup. I did wish there was latte art though. They chose good beans for their espresso drinks. Strawberry Alarm Clock | $7.50 - This drink has two shots of espresso, house-made strawberry puree, and oat milk. Really like how it comes default with oat milk and that you don't have to pay extra for sub. This was better than I had originally imagined. The strawberry really comes through and it's not overly sweet, very balanced. The staff are friendly here and the interior is very aesthetic. There isn't a lot of seating inside but plenty outside. There are two locations for parking, be sure to park near the restaurant side otherwise you'll have to pay for parking in full. You can ask for validation when you order your drink, they cover up to 90 minutes. All in all, if you're looking for a specialty drink, this place is a great option. They have lots of popular ones for both matcha and espresso drinks. If you are very particular about your coffee or matcha, this might not be a perfect fit. However, if you're a fan of flavored drinks, you'll most likely like this place. The ambiance is really nice for catching up with a friend or to get some creative work done. read more

The black coffee tasted horrible. The smoked avocado toast was good but the fried egg was too runny and it didn't look good. I expected more from all the reviews. Plus the service wasn't very good. They aren't very friendly read more

I work in one of the buildings next to Kit Coffee, so I come here pretty often for my matcha fix. Their matcha is always strong, smooth, and delicious--definitely one of my favorites in the area. The service is consistently fast and friendly, which makes it the perfect spot to grab a drink during the workday. My go-to order is the Lavender Fields Matcha or a matcha latte with ube added. The ube adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the matcha. I've also tried their smoked avocado toast, and it's just as good as their drinks. If you're in the area and looking for a quality matcha or a quick breakfast, I highly recommend stopping by! read more

Perfect sitting area right outside the cafe to have a cup of coffee and enjoy it. Unfortunately the coffee was not that great, the salted maple latte I'd give a 5/10 and the iced mocha probably a 3/10. Service was quick and the cafe itself is really pretty. read more

Kit Coffee sits in a business district and has a clean, modern vibe, with a great view and plenty of outdoor seating to relax. I usually go for the matcha latte with vanilla syrup and oat milk.

Service is nice, the staff are consistently friendly and quick with orders, which makes the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. read more

I love coming here because it's convenient for me to walk to. They also seem to have seasonal speciality drinks which is nice. I tried the S'mores latte which was very good. I didn't think it was too sweet which was nice. Each time I've been here, the mornings are pretty busy with a crowd, likely because there's corporate buildings surrounding it so expect a small wait after ordering. read more

Great study spot with several tables and interesting seasonal drinks. Parking wasn't hard to find. They don't have a restroom within the cafe itself but there is one around the corner which you just need to ask the code for. Tried the Boysenberry Matcha drink and enjoyed their housemade boysenberry cream. Arugula salad is a bit overpriced but it had a specific lemon pepper seasoning that made this addicting. read more

Everyone saying this place is amazing is lying to you. Honestly, the middest coffee place i've been in a while. First, the parking situation. I'm sure that we parked in the wrong place but I don't believe in paying for parking just to get coffee. We paid $2.50 for parking and I find that annoying because we were there for less than 20 minutes. If there is a better place to park it's very confusing and not user friendly. We ended up getting forced to park in the garage because there was LITERALLY no way out. Second, the menu was sold out of at least 5 drinks, irritating. Third, the coffee is mid. It's in a business park so you feel really out of place when just there for coffee. There are plenty of other coffee shops that are in business centers that give a better customer experience. I got the vanilla latte, don't waste your time or money it's no better than any other vanilla latte i've had. I think if you work in the lot this place is probably pretty great but for the general public, definitely a skip. disclaimer, the staff was very nice and friendly and the coffee came out quick. read more

Trying a new matcha place in Irvine called KIT Coffee. I believe this is an expansion from another location at Newport ... still trying to figure out the parking logistics st this location. It is a little bit inconvenient as there's No immediate parking since it's in an office building setting. Everywhere is a red zone, so please park in a garage and get validation. KIT Coffee have a matcha call it 'Thank You Berry Matcha,' (hahahah) and notice another twist where'Boysenberry Matcha" was also available. Mentally, I flipped a coin and decided on the berry decide for me (for today). I like it but should had ask for half sweet. The matcha is delicious and tastes strong which I like. For lunch, I tried the cinnamon brûlée toast.....again a tad too sweet but different so had to try it. Strangely, I was drawn to the utensils/napkins -station so cute setup that's like a kitchen counter. :))) read more

I don't know what possessed me to order a strawberry matcha as someone who usually thinks they're too syrupy sweet but I actually really enjoyed theirs!! They had like 3 variations though so i liked the "triple double matcha" which I believe was seasonal? Not aptly named though because the name did not really indicate it was strawberry forward lol. It was well balanced though Also loved the breakfast burrito! The filling to tortilla ratio was perfect. The space was cute & small but a tad hard to find in the business center and parking was inconvenient (paid). read more

This is my 2nd time because the first was awful but I wanted to give them another chance. The coffee, the service from the barista (taller girl with round glasses) along with the prices are not worth it. The coffee was weak, I had to get another shot to add that espresso kick and flavor. The barista was rude and dismissive. Save your money for better coffee and service elsewhere. No one wants overpriced, unflavored drinks served by rude people. read more

Tried the famous KIT strawberry matcha , ube matcha , s'mores cookie and brûlée toast. The strawberry matcha is super sweet, I asked for 1/2 and I feel like it was still sweet. The triple matcha or something it was good but again , sweet. The cream top (strawberry) is good. The ube drink is good. Taste like all the other ube drinks I've had. The s'mores cookie wasn't the greatest, it was hard and just tasted like an old chocolate chip cookie. The toast may have been the best part even though it was okay- . Service is good, and the space inside is limited but there's a lot of outside seating since it's in a company complex ? I'll go back and try it again but I think it's overhyped. And overpriced. read more

I wish I liked this place more than I did. I got an iced matcha latte with oat milk. By default, it comes unsweetened and they let you know that. It's a little pricey but expected for an Irvine coffee shop. First of all, I felt like they didn't actually put oat milk because it tasted and the heaviness of it felt, like whole milk. Second, the matcha flavor itself was not good. It was weak and even then, not a good flavor. I can't remember the last time I didn't finish a matcha but I threw about half of this one out because the flavor genuinely wasn't enjoyable and I thought it might be real milk. Enough to say, I most likely won't be back. read more

KIT Coffee - Iced matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

KIT coffee is by far my favorite coffee chain in the OC -- whether you like matcha, coffee, tea or even an avocado toast, this place has it all. My favorite drink is the Iced Strawberries Wild Latte. It's a seasonal drink priced at $7.50-8.50 (so going to be super sad when it leaves!), and the strawberry cream top is absolutely amazing. Their Purple Dream drink ($7.50) is also delish, and their matcha is nice too! The drinks may be pricey compared to other cafes, but the drinks are too good, so I'd say it's worth it. The service is great too -- the workers here are friendly from the time I went and you get your drinks pretty fast. The inside is also super cute with a decent amount of seating, and they have cute items you can buy. As for the location, it's a little odd since it's hidden in between some corporate buildings, but all you have to do is park in one of the structures and walk to the cafe. They also validate your parking (up to 90 mins I think) for you. They're also only open on the weekdays, but if you need KIT on the weekend, the Newport location is also there for you. :) read more

My cousin was visiting and told me about KIT Coffee, so we decided to check it out -- and I'm so glad we did! The location is amazing. There's a beautiful water fountain right outside that adds such a calm, relaxing vibe. It's the perfect spot to hang out and enjoy some good coffee or tea. I ordered the horchata matcha and it was delicious. My cousin got a drink with strawberry foam -- and wow, that foam was so good! I'm officially a fan. It paired perfectly with the matcha FYI: they validate parking, which is always appreciated in this area. Overall, such a great spot to chill, chat, and sip something tasty. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Kit Coffee is located in a business complex so you would need to parking the connecting garage. It was decently business which made sense as we went during lunch time. We got an oat milk matcha latte. To be honest, it tasted water down to us. It lacked matcha flavor and barely tasted the sweetener. I wouldn't get the matcha latte again, but I would give their coffee a try. Although our drinks weren't that good, the service was amazing! The guy who took our order was extremely nice and made good conversation with us! read more

I was in the area and needed to pop into a cafe to do some work. I saw the great reviews for Kit so came here. It was a little hard to find but eventually got there. The line was really long but moved quickly. This place was aesthetic!! It was jam packed from all the folks that work in this business Plaza. It looked like full blown departments were taking their breaks all at the same time there. The place was noisier than other coffee shops because of the high traffic of people. I was able to nab a table by the window. I had a creme brulee latte with oat milk. It was rich and creamy just how I like it. Absolutely delicious. If you don't mind a busier coffee shop, you should definitely check this place out! read more
