Balboa Lily’s
711 E Balboa Blvd, Newport Beach, CA
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.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.
