Java City Bakery Cafe

It’s Newport beach, so naturally, it’s a little on the pricey side, but not unreasonable. I went straight fatty today and got a medium Americano, a European bagel, and a flourless chocolate cake, which all totaled up to a little over $22 before I tipped. The bagel is huge, so I only had half of that. I did somehow managed to put away every single crumb from that cake, though.😂 I was a little surprised at how many people were there on a Wednesday morning, but the service was fast. They have a nice outdoor patio dining area, as well as an interesting inside area. We are camping over at Newport Dunes, so this place is just a quick trip from there, but a nice change. Not gonna lie, though. I feel a little out of place each time I go there. Maybe they just prefer their OC types to my IE type. (Shrug)

This place is a hidden gem. Their coffee is excellent. The roasted veggie panini is my favorite and I’m not a vegetarian. The almond croissants are giant and delicious! I’m a baker and I can tell when pastries are sub-par. This place was such a pleasant find. It’s located conveniently before entering balboa island. Lots of outdoor seating. Service is lovely and I’ve done takeout multiple times with the same excellent taste and quality. My 17 month old loved the breakfast bagel sandwich and he is hard to please. Definitely recommend.

Welcoming place! The staff was awesome. My siblings and I found this gem by pure happenstance, we were in a Newport to reunite at our childhood vacation spot in memory of parents. The staff was so kind they brought us a complimentary tray of their delightful delicious pistachios muffins and chocolate croissant. I had the ham and cheese criossant.. so yummy. I will be returning with the family soon! Thank you Java!

Was visiting from out of town and saw how great the reviews were so I had to check it out! The store is absolutely stunning and they have a giant variety of coffee, pastries, breakfast and lunch. I had a cold brew coffee which they slow drip for 17 hours on their cold brew towers! With the coffee I got a delicious sausage breakfast burrito and a blueberry muffin. I was stuffed but in the best way possible. 100% recommend to everyone that needs a delicious coffee shop with loads of options that will never get old! Love this place!
