Crema's Take
“This intimate neighborhood café in Newport Beach is helmed by two knowledgeable coffee enthusiasts who've mastered both traditional espresso and creative signature drinks, with customers raving about customizable cold foam flavors and the genuine warmth of their hospitality. The meticulous attention to freshness and quality—paired with staff who clearly love what they do—has earned such devoted loyalty that regulars are willing to trek from neighboring cities multiple times a week. It's the kind of gem that feels like a well-kept secret, where the espresso-focused excellence meets an unhurried, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit feel special.”
What to expect
