Warning: this place is busyyyyyyy Came in on a Sunday morning and it was packed both inside and out. 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. read more

So parking sucks... However, if you can get past that, you will be pleasantly captivated. I ordered to go and tried their most popular menu items. I ordered the Ube Matcha and the breakfast burrito. I was hesitant to get rice in my breakfast burrito and I should've trusted my instincts. For my carb conscious girls, the tortilla is enough. The drink was good, but it was very sweet for me. You could get full off the drink alone. I now have a good baseline for the food and drinks so I feel like I would order better next time. read more

I got the Strawberry Alarm Clock (how cute is that name?) and a Breakfast Burrito with no meat. There was a line when I went, but it moves quickly. There were people inside and outside. There was also a table for online orders that had a lot of orders on it. They were very busy. My drink was ok. It wasn't really strawberry forward nor espresso forward. They were present but they were very subtle. I felt like it was milk more than anything else. I really liked the burrito and did not miss the meat at all. I liked the shape of the burrito. I also liked that it was flatter than a normal burrito, because it made it easier to eat. It does come with a red and green sauce. Both are good. The red sauce kind of reminded me of Taco Bell hot sauce. read more

Been coming here for 3 years. You have to come super early to get a spot to work at this coffee shop. The music is very loud which causes everyone around you to talk louder. Bring your headphones. The coffee and matcha here is very good. Food is pretty meh for the price you pay. I got a strawberry matcha and breakfast burrito with bacon. Plus 15% tip was $29. Priced very high. read more

Kit Coffee is one of my favorite to-go spots for a cute brunch/ breakfast. I think the coffee they have to offer is really good, and I always enjoy having their specialty lattes. I don't think I've ever had a bad latte or matcha here, so I would just order anything on the menu that piques your interest haha. But their Earl Grey latte and Salted Maple Matcha have been their best stand-out drinks to me. Both of them encapsulate great flavor while maintaining the coffee and matcha taste in each drink. For the food, I would definitely recommend their Cilantro Fried Rice and their breakfast burrito. They're both packed with flavor, and it hits the spot for all my savory breakfast/ brunch people out there. The inside and outside of this restaurant are also super nice; there's not one bad place to sit and relax here. read more

I waited a while before writing my review for KIT bc I didn't have a great experience w service my first visit here, so I wanted to give them a chance with other baristas. Turns out, all of my future visits have been great! Everyone after that first experience has been pretty friendly. The coffee is excellent; I've tried hot and iced lattes and iced matcha.. delicious and strong! Do expect to wait a while if you come on a weekend bc it gets very busy! But the drinks are worth the wait! read more

KIT Coffee is my kind of coffee place. Love the vibes inside. The music choice was on point. I saw a lot of people on their laptops and hanging out with family/friends. The staff was nice and my drinks and food came out quickly for being busy. The line was out the door. When you come, expect to wait. I got one of their signature drinks, Strawberries Wild and an Iced Vanilla Latte. I'm usually not a fan of fruit flavors paired with coffee, but this drink was pretty good. It had espresso, strawberry milk, strawberry cream too, and bits. The breakfast burrito is a standout for good reason. It had scrambled eggs, cilantro rice, hash brown, cheddar jack cheese, grilled onions, and bacon. I came hungry, so this totally filled me up. I was so happy afterwards. read more

Started my morning here with family for a caffeine boost and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the berry matcha, which comes with oat milk by default, and really enjoyed it. The sweetness was perfectly balanced and the berry flavor didn't overpower the drink. The matcha quality itself was just okay, the drink as a whole came together well. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10. Also got to try a few sips of what my family ordered, including the 'purple dream' and 'strawberry alarm clock' which were both solid. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and even around the corner, plus a spacious interior with lots of patio seating. A nice spot for a chill morning coffee run. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and in the mood to try something new. read more

I stopped by after walking a loop around Castaway Park since it's conveniently within walking distance. I probably wouldn't recommend trying to park in the plaza, though--the parking is very limited. I ordered a regular matcha latte with almond milk and was pleasantly surprised that it was $6.50, especially since many places are charging over $7 now. I placed a mobile pickup order after being warned by some friends that the line and crowd can get pretty bad, especially on weekends. I do wish I had timed my order a bit later into my walk, as my drink ended up a little watered down and the matcha flavor wasn't as pronounced. One of the girls I was walking with ordered hers later, and her drink came out a much more vibrant green than mine. read more

Came here for vibes as it is located in the Newport public library, which the inside is very modern and big. The matcha latte was a bit sweet for my liking, no strong matcha flavor, but if that's how you like your matcha, then this will be the perfect drink for you. Kinda tasted like Starbucks matcha. The bagel was pretty good. I ordered the Eat, Pray, Lox bagel which came with salmon, cucumbers, and cream cheese; it was very filling. If you're looking for a place to get some work done and want to stop for a bite, this is a good spot! read more

Really disappointed with my Salted Maple Latte. The menu doesn't mention it comes with cinnamon, so I initially thought my drink was made wrong, and I was told it's added by default, which felt misleading. I asked for a remake without cinnamon, but the second drink was still overly sweet and tasted mostly like milk with barely any coffee flavor. I only took one sip and couldn't finish it--overall, not worth the price and not recommended if you want a real coffee taste. read more

very cute coffee shop! I really liked the decor an the windows made the place feel so opened and clean. I got an iced latte and I thought it was a little watered down but I have a preference for very dark and strong coffee. Parking was a little hard in the plaza since there were so many people. There is more parking but its reserved for the medical center. read more

Parking is awful, I wouldn't frequent this spot just because of the parking situation. Getting coffee should be a relaxing experience imo. Felt employees were friendly, despite other reviews. Decor is nice, with seating inside and out as well. I ordered the maple salted latte which is super good, would like mine a little stronger though, maybe another shot next time. I'm happy with my choice and would def get this again however. read more

I visited Kit coffee for the first time this past week and am looking forward to going back again! We ordered two avocado toasts and two lattes - I'd order those exact items again. In particular, I felt that the coffee was much better than other coffee I've had in the area (humanity, etc.) Heads up if you order food, they give you a number - the number is only for the food. You pick up the coffee yourself at the pickup area. There was tons of seating. Groups chatting, students working, and some folks reading. read more

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

I've been going to kit coffee a few times now and I'm always pleased with the customer service! They are always so helpful and nice! I love going here for the pour overs! They are always perfect every time! This place has indoor and outdoor seating! A nice comfy place for a coffee date! read more

After eating lunch next door I figured I would check this coffee shop out. There was a line out the door and there's no menu telling you the options until you get to the register. The giant wall menu is just the general categories and prices. While waiting in line I checked out their online menu but even that was missing the seasonal drinks. Crowds never slowed down with a constant line out the door. Atmosphere is very cold and sterile with service to match. I ordered the "strawberry wild latte" and my wife ordered the caramel. We snagged a table and waited for them to softly mumble my name in the deafening loud room. If you miss your name your order will sit there for eternity. I have to agree with the review from a few days ago. People try to cut the line. Two times a group tried to cut us in line. Be aware! This is no cozy relaxing coffee shop! I wasn't feeling the place until I took a sip of my drink. Entire thing was infused with strawberry, not just the cold foam. It was delicious to the last sip and I was sad when the astronomically priced drink was over. My wife loved her drink too. Pastry case was empty. We liked their drinks and would go again if I was in the area but wouldn't make a special trip just to come here. read more

Been awhile. Went back to kit coffee. A way better experience than the last time I was here. Caramel latte was pretty good. Maybe a bit sweet but still great. Ordered online. And it was ready by 839am. And when I walked in. 8.39 they called my name. read more

Went pretty early in the morning so there wasn't a wait and parking was easy. The cafe had a decent amount of seating indoors and outdoors. Service was quick and they were happy to make adjustments when my friend didn't like her drink (she said the matcha was too bitter for her preference) Pumpkin patch latte: 4/5. I liked this a lot but I thought the cup was slightly small for the price read more

Great ambience and baristas. Plenty of seating inside and outside for a cafe. Parking was a breeze for me (there's also a lot in the back). No restroom but there's a building shared around the corner that just requires a code. Tried -Seasonal Boysenberry Matcha Latte with Almond milk: Creamy and loved the housemade boysenberry cream top. There's even some cute purple sugar crystals that make the drink pop on top. A more lighter matcha taste perfect if you don't like that grassy matcha taste. -Arugula Salad: Refreshing with quality ingredients. Two sunny side eggs had a perfect crisp and the avocado was perfectly sliced and plated on top. There was a slight citrus salty seasoning and fresh grounded black pepper flakes that made this delicious. I would've loved maybe a fruit topping with this like strawberries or raisins but overall, great! read more

This was a nice cafe! It was cute and had a decent amount of seating both indoor and outdoor. Friendly staff and our drinks came out fairly quick. My friend and I both got the Triple Double Matcha which was pretty good. Not as matcha-y as I was thinking it would be considering the "Triple Double" in the name but still good! I would definitely come back to try some of their other drinks. Note: parking was a nightmare so be prepared! read more

KIT Coffee - Triple Double Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

This place is always packed to the brim! The line usually goes pretty quickly though. All the drinks I have tried here have been really really good. Like so good I always want a second one. My favorite drink is their Strawberry Alarm Clock, which is just a strawberry latte. I would recommend it full sweet if you want the full strawberry flavor. I usually get my lattes half sweet, but this one tastes better full; the strawberry flavor gets diluted when it's half sweet. Their breakfast burrito is decent for a quick breakfast as well. The main downside of this place is the size. It's tiny and cramped and there are always so many people waiting for their drinks, that they crowd all the tables inside. The tables are not the cleanest either - this place is more of a grab-and-go place for me! read more

Tasty, pretty, and pricey. Their strawberry latte was enjoyable. Breakfast burrito was decent, but maybe I would've liked the bacon one better. Cilantro fried rice was like a breakfast burrito bowl and was a tad salty. Service was cordial/standard. Came in late Spring midday on a Sat, and the ambience was bright, clean, and well air-conditioned. There was plenty of indoor and outdpor seating. Would try again with bacon, since my friend raves about the breaky burrito. read more

I've heard about it for years. The buzzy buzz has not escaped me. I've even tried coming like three times.

I needed some big fueling for a long row session out in Newport. I stopped at Kit and grabbed a latte and a breakfast burrito with bacon. The latte is pretty standard and satisfying. The burrito was a surprised. It was loaded with bacon throughout and they toasted it so the tortilla was crispy making it a panini style burrito. The two salsas were also great compliments to the burrito. Delicious!! I would absolutely get it again. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good and fast. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

KIT Coffee - Saturday morning crowd - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

This review is for the 17th street location. I usually go to the new location at the Newport library but it's closed on Sunday. At the Newport location, the ABJ toast is excellent and comes with this amazing yuzu jam. Here, I'm pretty sure it's smuckers but you're still paying $9-10 for a pretty thin toast . And they're don't put jam on the whole piece, just a dollop in the center (not so at the Newport spot). Granted, I just ran 19 miles and I'm a little hangry and disappointed that reality didn't meet expectations (that yuzu jam...so good). Americano was fine, though they served it in a cup for a cappuccino, which felt odd. Probably a better experience if you get a milky drink and one of the non-vegan roasts or burrito. read more

Parking: there is a parking located in the plaza. There are many available parking spaces including some directly in front of the store. Just beware to not park in the stalls that are marked as reserved. Parking here is easier and more convenient than Irvine location. Service: They rolled out the drinks and food very quickly considering how many people were ordering and lining up. Pro tip: if you don't have time, order ahead of time online on their website. Ambiance: It was decorated so nicely and cute. They offered table seating inside the shop. Definitely busy so more of a social coffee shop than a study one. Food: Thank you berry matcha latte (10/10)- matcha latte with strawberry milk (oat milk), the matcha was extremely creamy but the strawberry flavor shined through and complemented the matcha flavor so well. It wasn't earthy or grassy (maybe try somewhere else if you prefer grassier matcha). I also thought original was great but I liked it even more when I asked for less sweet! Triple Single Matcha Latte (9/10)- matcha latte topped with strawberry cream topping. Again, matcha was so creamy and flavorful. I do prefer the thank you berry matcha a bit more because I think the strawberry flavor shined through more. However, the cream top was still really great. TLDR: both strawberry matcha lattes were super good and if you're a strawberry matcha lover, get both to try both!! I went back two days in a row. It was that good!

My favorite thing at Kit is the almond milk cappuccino that I order. I don't know why they just do it right! It can be crazy there on the weekends with so many people waiting to order. So I choose my times wisely, and try and go at odd times when I can find parking easily. It's nice be able to sit and relax for bit and take a break for yourself. Also fun to meet up with a friend and enjoy a burrito and some good coffee! Everyone that works is very dedicated to their job, and the atmosphere is great! Lots of cute shopping in the area with great boutiques so you can kind of make a little afternoon out of it. read more

Super busy coffee shop on 17th near Dover Dr. in Newport Beach. The complex is beautifully designed but parking is horrendous. All kinds of signs stating who can park where, super territorial. Very popular place, crowded, loud. I arrived before 9am on a weekday & there were around 10 customers seated with drinks working on laptops or chatting. Around 9am, a line formed almost to the front door. Friend got caramel latte (she liked it a lot) & I got iced mocha. Mocha was smooth, comes with 2 shots espresso & was delicious, not too sweet. Restrooms located around the way with a code. No rewards/loyalty program but price was ok at $6 per drink. read more

I think the coffee here is great. It's perfectly strong with no sweetener. The coffee is kind of nutty itself which I do enjoy especially because I like my coffee to taste like coffee.

I came on a Thursday morning before going to a conference in the area. I'm not a local and so I didn't anticipate how busy this cafe was; I ended up waiting almost 25 minutes for my drink. My drink was good, but in hindsight to reduce my stress I should have ordered it online for pick-up! The cafe itself was nicely decorated with a clean and bright interior. There was a good mixture of folks working and meeting/talking with friends. I'd be open to trying some of their other drinks if I'm ever in the area again. read more
