Crema's Take

“Daydream is a sprawling, light-filled Newport Beach haven where genuinely kind baristas craft some of Orange County's best matcha and espresso alongside impressively good avocado toast and pastries. Beyond the coffee itself, what keeps people coming back is the unique experience of wandering through curated merchandise, apothecary products, surfboards, and wetsuits while sipping your drink in a welcoming space that somehow manages to feel both trendy and genuinely warm. Whether you're grabbing a quick specialty drink or settling in for a slow afternoon, the combination of quality drinks, thoughtful food, and the baristas' infectious friendliness makes it feel less like a transaction and more like stepping into someone's carefully crafted world.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Coffee: Great! Food: some pastries. WiFi: N/A Parking: a lot of parking spots. Love this cafe, I visited it last summer & I can’t forget the experience. Coffee was top notch & the place is so nice & cozy. The staff are friendly too.
