KIT Coffee
1000 Avocado Ave, Newport Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside Newport Beach's library, KIT Coffee nails that rare combination of serious espresso craftsmanship and genuinely relaxed vibes, with plenty of outdoor seating that's perfect for working or lingering over a cortado. The bagels here are genuinely excellent—locals rave about the texture and balanced flavor—making it easy to understand why people drive an hour just to grab breakfast and a perfectly pulled shot. The whole setup feels intentional and unhurried, striking that sweet spot between specialty coffee destination and community third space.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
