We went a couple months after they opened and were fortunate to arrive when the line was only about 20 minutes long. The inside of the shop was charming. I liked the flowers on the tables and the merchandise available for sale. The employees were all friendly as well! read more

I waited for the hype to die down before even attempting to come. It was worth the wait! The line was indoors but it went by quickly and there is a security fused at the door managing the line. I ordered an iced latte and vanilla soft service while my friend ordered the affogato. Both items that I ordered were delicious. The soft serve is a good amount of ice cream that I couldn't even finish but it was creamy and not super sweet. There were cute merch items at the front to look at while you are waiting in line to order. The workers were not overly friendly, just normal. The tables free up pretty quickly as well. Overall it was a good experience and I would come back again. read more

I'm not a coffee drinker, but my friend is, so we gave it a go. I understand Ralph's Coffee is supposed to be known for just coffee drinks, but decided to try the matcha latte. It was less than pleasurable to drink. I was literally drinking milk. So, I opted in a mocha. It was way better than the other drink. However, I was kind of disappointed that that my matcha drink didn't look as dark as others around me. Also, not worth the hour wait in the sun. Hype or No Hype. People will say Ralph's Coffee is an acquired taste. And it is. It was good to try, just not for me. read more

Ralph's Coffee - Soft serve - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I AM NOT AN INFLUENCER. I love coffee. I came here for coffee. Obviously it's associated with the Ralph Lauren brand so you'd expect some class, and higher prices. The worst part is the wait. We were fortunate to arrive at a decent time where the line reached the last window past the corner of the coffee shop. That alone was 40 minutes. When we finished we saw the line was 4x as long. There wasn't a signature drink with the foam already added in. What you see in my photos is a latte, + vanilla+ foam+ an add shot. That came out to about $12 dollars. But you wait in that line so you know you are at the point of no return. Plus I've paid more for a cup of coffee. Did it taste good, yeah it was alright. Are there dozens of comparable places in the area without the line. Yeah. But it's social currency in this generation. And I can say I tried it. read more

I love the Ralph Lauren preppy aesthetic, so I was excited to see they were opening a coffee shop here in SoCal. I know people would wait hours just to grab a cup of joe from here, so I wanted to see what the hype is all about. The interior design is stunning! I love the forest green theme (one of my favorite colors) and love how clean and retro the shop felt, almost like a diner. But, I will say whoever designed the layout may need to rethink some things, as going from the line, cashier, and to pick up was a bit awkward and confusing. There are signs, but still I think that part of customer experience could be improved on. As for my drink, I'm not a coffee girly (anymore) so I opted for the matcha latte. Unfortunately, as already seen by the color, the matcha was trash. Now I understand their specialty is moreso coffee, but if you're going to put it on the menu, it's gotta be at least half decent. Matcha tastes really stale, definitely not up to par with other shops. I am kind of curious about their soft serve, but honestly feel like it's just really overpriced ordinary ice cream. If you want some aesthetic branded coffee and the NYC vibes, then Ralph's is it. But otherwise, eh, it's a pass for me. read more

I LOVE COACHELLA WEEKEND I mean wow, no more waiting in line for the Ralph Lauren cafe! I wonder why!! Still a 10 min wait but wasn't too bad. Very nice cashier, great decor and merch. Coffee was meh but I really loved the vanilla affogato! Was barely able to snag a seating inside the cafe as people tend to either linger very long or go in and out after they finish their drink and get their pictures. Totally not worth any longer wait honestly. Love their stamp card! read more

In my opinion, it's all hype. It's only coffee and croissants? I was hoping for the Ralph's restaurant were you can order actual meals. They don't even have the iconic coffee cups to sell at the store. Most of my experience was being ordered around on how to properly stand in line lol. Ambiance was cute though. I like the artwork they had and the bear statues. I had a honey matcha I think. I can't remember if they had syrup. If they did I either had vanilla or lavender if they offered and it was fine. Nothing memorable. We had a croissant with new flavor just all the flakes form the patty in every bite so maybe super dry/stale? If the line was the "3 hour wait" not worth it. I got there before it opened and the wait was like I think 30 minutes? Again all hype. We needed up taking our drinks and having brunch at the great maple. read more

ive been here twice, the first time, it was a saturday evening, the line was wrapped around, after waiting in line for about an hr, my friend and i decided to leave bc from that point, it would be another 45m. and we had another appt we needed to get to in LB. fast forward about a month, i arrived around 0930am on a saturday and no line! super cute coffee shop. IMO, its def worth checking out, IF there is no line or max 30m. i ordered the draft oat latte, it was okay. nothing to rave over or make another trip just to get this coffee. although, i did sample their soft serve ice cream! and THAT!! that was soo good. will be back to try their affogato that everyone is raving about! parking: located right by the koi pond in fashion island. plenty of parking! read more

Honestly just came here for the aesthetics. I love a pretty coffee shop - and this one did not disappoint. It was very classy and had the most stunning colors/decor. I went on a weekday and the line was still out the door. I tried a class matcha latte sweetened with honey. The matcha was nothing special, probably would not get again. The line moved fast, cashiers were super nice, and the prices were decent. Overall it was a nice one and done trip. read more

Shoutout to Aneska for making the cutest and most delicious mocha!!! It was absolutely perfect, not too sweet, just right, and the coffee itself was so smooth and flavorful. You can really taste how good the quality is. I also grabbed the mini chocolate chip cookies and wow, they are SO good! Simple, natural, basic ingredients and you can totally tell. I loved enjoying my coffee inside, the atmosphere is beautiful and cozy, and they also have plenty of outdoor seating. Sitting by the koi pond was so relaxing and such a nice way to unwind. Everything about this stop was amazing and made my day!!! I'll definitely be back! read more

It was our first time visiting Ralph's Coffee Cafe, and my girlfriend and I are huge fans of the Unsweetened Draft Oat Latte. The cashier even gave us a sample to try, and I have to say, we loved it! We can't wait to come back for more. The coffee is definitely worth it. It tasted delicious and kept us energized throughout the day. We especially loved that it wasn't too sweet, which made it just right. The overall atmosphere has a Ralph Lauren vibe, but in a cozy cafe setting. The interior is really cute. If you end up waiting in line, it's definitely worth it. Tip: The best time to go is after lunchtime, between 12:30 PM and 3 PM. Weekdays are less busy, we went on a Monday. We ordered two Unsweetened Draft Oat Lattes, a bag of medium roast coffee beans, mini chocolate chip cookies, and a coffee mug as a souvenir. read more

Came on a Sat and there was a short line. Asked the security guard and he said its around a 30-40 min wait usually. I would say this coffee shop is aesthetically pleasing and love the design of the whole shop/store. But their menu is a bit generic. Nothing too special with the items on there. They do have a soft serve machine so you can get an affogato. We got just a regular iced coffee and a chai latte. Both were just alright. Nothing memorable or worth noting about the drinks. I think we waited around 30 min so it wasnt too bad. Very limited seating inside but there's plenty of outdoor seating throughout the plaza. Will probably go back when the crowd dies down a bit. read more

The line finally died down enough to stop by here on a Friday afternoon. It's cute! Not sure it's worth all the hype but it is definitely more fun and whimsical than a typical chain coffee outing. There was still a little bit of a line and I don't love that the make us wait outside considering there is plenty of space inside to queue without obstructing other businesses. It also creates this weird gap between the indoor and outdoor queue that the security team has to monitor and unfortunately folks do try to cut the line quite often. But, once I got inside, it was so cute! I love all the Ralph's Coffee merch and the teddy bear greeting us. I got the oat milk latte on draft. This was delicious! Very creamy and the coffee was good quality. I'm not sure I'll come back soon but I recommend it as a try at least once coffee stop. read more

The hype has died down a little for the first Ralph's coffee on the west coast. Those from the East Coast particular New York may have tried Ralph's coffee which are the only locations I know of in the United States. From my time on the east coast I really liked the mocha which is a really rich chocolate and vanilla latte are my go to's. As far of the location it is really nice to visit really nice decor and seating area if your able to get a seat. This place still is pretty busy so there is normally a line out the door especially towards the weekend. I guess the only cons to this place are its pretty expensive coffee and long lines. I got two latte with cold foam and over night oats and it ran 39 dollars. It is by far the best coffee option in the mall. Top notch quality in terms of coffees. Merch is very nice, but is expansive also, the clothing is just as much I believe as the Polo clothing next door. Overall I can't complain much though because it is a nice experience even if you got to pay more for it. read more

Definitely not worth the hour plus wait. The vanilla latte was too milky for me, I could hardly taste any coffee. That was mega disappointing. The Oatmeal Raisin cookie was good, as well as the Chocolate Chip. Just good - not great nor spectacular. I love the green color inside and decor. I'm glad I tried it but again, definitely not worth the wait. read more

We loooooovee Ralph's Coffee. I think I went into it with lower expectations because of the previous reviews, but we had a great experience. Service- 10/10. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The gal making our drinks was so sweet and even added some extra honey and cinnamon to our drinks to make them tastier. They also helped us by giving us a tray to help us carry our drinks. Drinks- 10/10. I got an affogato and my date got a chai affogato. Both were amazing. We could taste that the coffee and honey they put in it were both good quality. The ice cream was also delicious. Although the prices are highway robbery, I would definitely come back and order again! Environment- 10/10. Oh my gosh the vibes were beautiful. It feels like you stepped into vintage New York City. Beautiful decorations, clean restaurant, lots of cute merch, and classic feel. There's not much seating inside but there's lots of seating right outside by the koi pond :) Extras- We came today 3/4 and only had to wait 15 minutes in line. It was not a long wait and they made our drinks quickly! There is also lots of cute Ralph Coffee merch, perfect to take home! read more

We stood in line for a good 15 mins on a Sunday late morning. The interior is cute with a handful of tables to sit. Merch is pretty cool and staff are friendly. Latte was good. Nothing outstanding. Soft serve was the star of the show. Got coffee and vanilla swirl. You can get the affogato which comes as a separate espresso shot and you add to your soft serve. Not really worth standing in line though. Will come back if at fashion island and there is no line. read more

"Affogato all my problems!" Stopped by on a random Sunday afternoon and wanted to see what the hype was about at Ralph's Coffee. It was a such a warm day, but they placed outdoor umbrellas to shade us from the heat. Wait time was around 30 minutes, but well worth it once we got inside! The cafe is beautifully decorated and displays their iconic RL items. I especially loved that you can window shop while you wait in line. (Good for the shop, but bad for the patrons! Jk) We placed our orders for two vanilla soft serves, one coffee and vanilla swirl affogato, 2 chocolate chip cookies and an iced vanilla latte. It was our first time trying an affogato and it definitely won't be the last at this establishment! My kiddos loved the soft serves, I especially loved the affogato and the iced vanilla latte was a perfect drink to keep me cool throughout our walk. I can't wait to come back and try their other drinks and baked goods during my next visit! read more

This spot is located in the food hall connected to the Ralph Lauren store. I came on a Thursday around 2:30 PM and ended up waiting in line for about 20 minutes. The space itself is very aesthetic, with some seating inside, which makes it a nice place to sit if you're able to grab a spot. The workers were also very nice and the items came out really fast, which made the experience pleasant. I ordered the Affogato Swirl ($9.50) and an Iced Vanilla Latte ($6.50). I originally wanted to try the Draft Oat Latte, but unfortunately they were already sold out, so I went with the iced vanilla latte instead. It was pretty good and had a nice flavor. The Affogato swirl wasn't bad, but it also wasn't something I'd probably order again. The drink was good, but I'd probably only come back if there's little to no line. read more

Ralph's is easily one of my favorite spots right now. The matcha is super smooth and flavorful, not overly sweet, and you can tell it's made with quality ingredients. The affogato is a must try too, that mix of rich espresso poured over creamy ice cream is just perfect. Everything feels a little elevated compared to your typical coffee spot. Only downside is the lines can get pretty long, especially during busy hours, but honestly it's worth the wait once you get your drink. The quality and overall experience make up for it. Definitely a 5 star place I'll keep coming back to. read more

I feel like the Ralph's Coffee Newport Beach experience will be pleasurable only when the hype goes down and people start treating this as a little stop during their shopping day to grab a quick coffee, sit for a minute, and enjoy the atmosphere. Right now, you would have to wait in line under the sun no matter what day and time you come and you are rewarded with an o-k cup of coffee served in a disposable container. It is also hard to relax and you feel bad for hogging a table when there's a line of people waiting. Once it becomes part of the normal rhythm of the mall instead of a must-see attraction, it'll probably feel a lot more relaxed, cozy, and actually worth the visit unless you're picky with your coffee. read more

Ralph's Coffee - Iced Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport Beach, California

We waited until the line kinda died down before attempting to queue. So line was much shorter and we were expecting a much shorter wait. When line was wrapping around they said it was 2 hour wait ... but then even with much shorter line, we ended still waiting for an hour! The place is really nice, but small! The coffee is nothing special. I got the cortado, but didn't enjoy it much. However, their cookies and ice cream are good! They give you a stamp card too. I'm assuming you get some kind of reward after a few stamps. We love that we finally got to experience this cafe, and even bought coffee beans to try at home and a merh (mug) as souvenir. But I don't think we'll be back. read more

The moment you walk into Ralph's Coffee, you are hit with the most wonderful coffee scent. It's a small, charming space that really captures the brand's aesthetic. My matcha latte (with vanilla syrup) was perfectly balanced, and the cinnamon roll was a great treat. The only downside is the efficiency. I waited an hour on a Monday afternoon. Because there is only one staff member handling both the register and the pasteries warming, the line comes to a complete halt frequently. It's a great place to visit if you aren't in a rush, but they definitely need more staff to handle the demand. read more

I waited 10 years to try Ralph's! I went to NY a few times and never had the chance. I waited about 45 mins in line today and luckily it was a breezy afternoon because I was in the sun for a bit. As I got in, the interior decor of the shop is beautiful and classy. I love the gold accents along with the Ralph Lauren green everywhere. The menu is pretty classic with most of every coffee drinks on deck such as a latte, cold brew, espresso, mocha, and more. The coffee beans are from La Colombe so yes it's quality but nothing too special. I had a cold brew and my wife had their iced matcha; both tasted like Starbucks lol. It's pretty and great for photos and social media but you're better off going to an actual La Colombe shop around the city. Glad I finally came but I'm good off it. Cheers! read more

If I come back, I do want to try their affogato and soft serve. read more

I went in thinking that this coffee shop would be overrated and I was right. :( We ordered an Americano, iced latte and chocolate croissant. Husband thought Americano was fine, nothing outstanding. My iced latte was decent and not too sweet, which is great for me. The croissant, however, was just meh - felt like it may have been frozen and then reheated? The cashier tried to be helpful but didn't understand to put a splash of cream in husband's coffee. But I loved the ambiance - so cozy and stylish. Loved seeing RL's photo on the wall; the larger than life teddy bear is adorable. One thing that is unbelievable: the price of the merch! $188 for a sweatshirt?! Nuts! read more

The hype is just the esthetics and ambience. Came on a Saturday around 2 pm we probably waited around 20-25 mins which isnt bad guess compared to the people who waited an hour. It is nice inside but id never come back. 20 bucks for coffee and a matcha. The coffee we had to add an extra shot and foam to make it taste okay and those are all extras $2 bucks each just to make the coffee okay. The matcha was also just 2/10 its a matcha concentration and just bunch of milk doesnt have sweetner and again another 2 bucks extra if you want sweetner. Seating is limited to 45 mins. They have merch that is cute but I wouldnt pay $50 bucks for a Tumblr or anything else. read more

Everyone has been raving about Ralph's Coffee since it opened, so I had to stop in and see what the hype was about. The space is undeniably charming--super cute and aesthetic, with great vibes all around. That said, the experience didn't quite live up to the buzz. I ordered the iced vanilla draft oat latte, and unfortunately it was way too sweet for my taste. The ice cream was good, but nothing extraordinary. What really took away from the experience was the wait--standing in line for over an hour just didn't feel worth it in the end. It's a fun spot to check out if you're in the area and want the atmosphere, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

After waiting 45 minutes in line, I finally got to try the new Ralph Lauren cafe. Considering it is Ralph Lauren, you would think that the food/drink quality would be nicer than a standard cafe like Starbucks. However, it was the most mediocre coffee I have ever had. It was quite bitter and there really was nothing special about it. I feel like my Nespresso does a better job at making coffee. Additionally, the soft serve affogato was inedible... EXTREMELY GRITTY, CURDLED ICECREAM! No creaminess. When it melts in your mouth, it's almost like toilet paper particles. If your icecream machine isn't properly working, why serve it to paying customers? The overall menu selection was the standard cafe menu. No specialities. The price is not worth the value at all. Please do yourself a favor and just get a coffee at Starbucks and icecream at bacio gelato in the same plaza. It will save you time, money, and overall better food/drink flavor and quality. read more

Ralph's Coffee in Newport Beach is one of those spots you visit more for the experience than the coffee itself. The drinks are decent, but the real draw is the branding and atmosphere -- it feels like you've stepped into an old-school New York diner with that signature Ralph Lauren polish. Think rich greens, crisp whites, and that classic, timeless aesthetic that makes everything feel a little more elevated. While the coffee here isn't quite "write home about" status, the space is charming and perfect for a quick, stylish pause during a shopping day. If you've been to the New York location, you'll know what I mean when I say that one truly captures the full Ralph Lauren magic and heritage. Newport Beach still delivers the vibe, just with a laid-back California twist. A fun stop for the ambiance and the brand lovers. read more

Aside from the long, wait because of the popularity of the café, the food and coffee is actually not that bad! The coffee was strong and it wasn't overpowered by the milk and I ordered an egg quiche, which was warmed up and pretty good. I think the fact that you have to wait such a long time and the inside is pretty small kind of takes away from the experience, but hopefully once the novelty of everything wears off, it'll be more of a grab and go café, which will be a much more enjoyable experience. read more

Honestly this place is way too over hyped haha I'll start by saying that the service was great, the employees are very sweet and the shop itself is very nice and aesthetic. However, the first day I tried to go the wait was probably over an hour so I left but it did peak my interest to come back because I figured it would be really good. So I come back the second time and I arrived at 5:30pm and the security guard told me there were closed! online the hours said it was open until 7pm so I thought that was just a little unfair to close that early. Came back another day and finally got in, im a matcha lover so of course i ordered matcha. I was excited to see it was only $6 but it comes unsweetened and to add sweeter costs another $2 DOLLARS!!!! which to me is crazy. So yeah spent 8 bucks on a matcha for it literally to just be a cup of milk with no matcha or sweetener detected. read more

Last weekend was about a 3.5 - 4.5 hours "wait in line" experience so I'm glad we decided to not go through that hell. I stopped by during the week also missed it by a couple minutes in the evening cus they ended the line like 30 min - hour before closing. Well today, finally committed and tried the spot out. Glad it didn't disappoint because it was an hour and a half in the hot blistering. this was the hottest January 31st Newport Beach has ever seen. Certainly in my 15 years of living in OC. It was hotter than most fucking summer says. Like 80 ish degrees with unrelenting sunshine. The Americano is one of the best I've had in the area. Their oat draft thingy whatever is also very smooth and interesting. A pleasant drink. Cappuccino with simple syrup was whatever but man!! Their vanilla bean syrup / sweetener is absolutely legit. Super good and high quality. The soft serve was honestly underwhelming, was not impressed. We were also stoked we got lucky and snagged a table. Perfect timing. This place is super cool and has quality coffee beans. I can't wait until the hyper-hype so I can just walk in and not deal with the annoying masses. Cheers batches. read more

Ralph's Coffee is a very small café located to the right of the Ralph Lauren store, tucked next to the koi pond at Fashion Island. The entrance is inside the Atrium. It's kind of wild because the koi pond is always packed with kids, and the coffee line stretches alongside it so there's lots of traffic in that area now and there's now less space for kids to run around. Timing matters here. I recommend going on a Thursday, which is typically the slowest day at Fashion Island. Even on weekdays, expect about a one-hour wait, and on weekends the line can stretch up to three hours. Still love the Ralph Lauren ambiance and their signature green branding. Very nice place, but I'll wait until the novelty wears off. The soft serve (coffee and vanilla) is the standout and a very popular item. They also sell a lot of branded merchandise and apparel, way more than the New York (Madison Ave) location, if I remember correctly. There's canvas totes, mugs, hats, apparel, and coffee beans. Seating is limited, with only a few tables indoors, but plenty of outdoor seats. read more
