Balboa Lily’s

711 E Balboa Blvd, Newport Beach, CA

★★★★★4.5(444 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This airy Newport Beach spot has mastered the art of the effortless experience, welcoming larger groups with the same warmth and speed they'd give a solo coffee drinker. The specialty drinks are genuinely excellent, but what keeps locals coming back is the surprisingly stellar food—the broccoli and avocado toast have become quiet legends among regulars. Whether you're stopping by after a coastal bike ride or settling in for a full breakfast, Balboa Lily's feels like the kind of place where the staff actually knows their coffee and cares about getting your order right.

Had a large group on a Sunday morning but they worked us in effortlessly. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks and food came out in good time and looked great. I had the avocado toast and a cardamom latte....oh my that latte was xlnt. The avocado toast was very tasty and my sunny side up eggs weren't burned on the bottom (kudos to the line cook). Overall wonderful experience for the 8 of us (teens and adults). Great ambiance if you like the beach scene (which we ❤️).

We went for a bike ride along the peninsula path and stopped by the pier for a coffee. Once we saw the menu we also had breakfast. Balboa Lily's is an delightful, open, airy casual style restaurant with a great breakfast menu and specialising in an extensive range of coffees. The food was refreshingly different in presentation and delicious.

Great experience at Lily’s, I was looking where to go for a lunch visiting just for a few hours, Lily’s was a great choice! I had mint tea, broccoli was delicious and kale and spinach salad with chicken, was delicious!! Atmosphere was inviting and cozy and staff friendly

I’ve been here a couple times and really enjoyed it both times. I have some outstanding drinks and, believe it or not, the broccoli is some of the best I have ever had and seems many others feel the same. Forgot to take photos of the main courses, but everyone really enjoyed their omelettes and I enjoyed my fruit bowl. It is right next to the beach and sits on the main strip on Balboa Island.
