Blue Bottle Coffee

My absolute favorite coffee shop. I found them in San Francisco and was thrilled when this one opened in Southern California. I love the coffee so much, I now have the beans delivered to me in Orlando! Whenever I’m in town, I always visit this cafe. The pour over is my favorite with half and half. Always an excellent cup of coffee. Smooth and never bitter. The cafe is beautifully located on the bay, so you can take in the sights. There is a lot of seating outside as well as a few seats inside. I love the natural wood, clean atmosphere. Very minimalist. The staff is consistently helpful and friendly. Always a great experience. See you again when I’m back in town.

I ordered a matcha latte at Blue Bottle Coffee and it was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced—not too bitter or sweet. The café has a calm vibe, great for working or relaxing. A bit pricey, but worth it for the quality.

Blue Bottle at Lido in Newport has long been one of my go-to spots for a coffee that feels both elevated and comforting—right by the water with that signature Blue Bottle vibe: clean, modern, and quietly cool. Their cappuccino and flat white are consistently excellent, with beautifully textured microfoam and smooth espresso. The baristas here really know what they’re doing—thoughtful, skilled, and always kind. You can tell they care about every cup. That said, I was disappointed to see they’ve recently stopped offering organic Clover milk. It was one of the things that set them apart—knowing that the milk matched the integrity of their beans. While the coffee is still top-notch, it’s a noticeable shift for those of us who prioritize organic ingredients. On the pour-over side, they offer a great selection of single-origin options and are always happy to guide you if you’re not sure what to pick. I usually go for a medium roast, and it’s always smooth and flavorful without being too acidic. The pastries here are another highlight—the almond croissant is a must, especially warmed up. But my personal obsession? The waffle. It’s unlike anything else—light, crisp, and almost custardy inside. They’ve also added overnight oats and a few other health-forward options for days you want something lighter. Overall, I still love this location for the experience and the baristas, but I do hope they reconsider bringing back organic milk—it made a great coffee even better.

Cautious Before Going !!! If you want to find a coffee shop to chill and relax, this is not the place for you. They shared the space with SAP and the building staff will not let you sit there although it says open seating everywhere. They charge $4/hour for seating unless you go outside. Definitely worth it after you paid $7 for a coffee and you can't even enjoy it? They should put a sign outside telling people they charge $4/hour for seating and let people can decide if they want to shop here.

Unprofessional Attitude I live nearby and visited often, almost like a regular, but every time I came, the same barista made the experience unpleasant. He consistently took orders with one hand in his pocket, no eye contact, no greeting — not just with me, but with other customers too. This is clearly a habit, not an accident. As someone who has visited Blue Bottle worldwide, this location completely contradicts the brand’s image. To be honest, I simply don’t want to see that staff again, so I won’t be coming back to this store. (Photo attached with faces blurred for privacy.)

It’s been three years since my last visit. I visited here last Sunday to try Black Cardamom Latte. This Blue Bottle Coffee Shop is right next to the dock, so the view is the best of any Blue Bottle Coffee Shop! However, please note that you must make a reservation at hanahaus to have a table right in front of the dock. It was Sunday Morning, but the instructions on the parking meter were confusing, so I came in to the shop and asked the staff. But they also did not have clear information about street parking because they usual park at designated employee parking spaces. However a really friendly staff went to the parking meter himself to check and informed me that the parking meter would operate from 1pm on Sunday, so I was able to park without a problem. Although it was rainy and cloudy, I was happy with black cardamom latte and a delicious sandwich. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the friendly staff. 👍

Amazing coffee here and seating is outside. I recommend the cookie and the waffles sometimes they’ll run out at the end of the day. I ordered a simple latte and my friend order a seasonal black cardamom latte one which was so good. Parking may be hard to come by but there’s a large parking lot next to the marine store

We visited on a Friday afternoon as a large family group. The gentleman patiently and enthusiastically answered all our questions, and I truly appreciated how attentively he took care of my father. His excellent service made our experience especially enjoyable

Blue Bottle Newport Beach has truly become one of my favorite little routines The staff here are always so warm and kind, not just to me, but to my dog Peyton too. They greet her like an old friend and always have a treat ready for her, which honestly makes my whole day! I always order the NOLA with cold foam, it's my forever favorite. Smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. Nothing else compares! I'm so happy this location is close to me, I live by the beach and all the other Blue Bottles are in LA, which is way too far for a regular coffee run. This one feels like such a gem and I'm so grateful it's in the neighborhood. Thank you for making every visit feel so special

I want to start by saying this is one of the most beautiful and clean cafés I have ever visited. I happened to be in the area and stopped in for a drink, not expecting much from a place I had not specifically sought out. The staff was incredibly friendly and worked efficiently, which made for a great first impression. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk, and while the presentation of the café left me impressed, the drink itself was a bit underwhelming. It mostly tasted like oat milk, and although I appreciate that they do not rely on excessive sweeteners like many other places, I think it could benefit from an extra half to one gram of matcha. The color, which I did not capture in a photo, was quite pale. If I were rating the drink alone, I would give it a 1 out of 5, though I do not believe matcha is their specialty. I only wish that was reflected in the pricing. Would love to come back to try a speciality of theirs.

Delicious coffee, but definitely will take to go in the future. I didn't love the location. It's inside a co-working space. We came on a Saturday and were told we needed to pay $4 to sit as we had sat in the co-working portion. The Blue Bottle section has one large table people can stand at, and then you can sit at the tables out front (aka not facing the water!) I hope Blue Bottle gets some additional OC locations with open seating!

每次在這附近吃飯，這個藍瓶子的咖啡廳是我最喜歡的地方，一樣喝咖啡，哪邊有這麼漂亮的風景呢，又可以面對海，又可以看到遊艇，還可以悠閑地喝著好喝的咖啡，但是就是很多時候很擁擠，滿多位子還是不夠的，服務員的態度也不錯！

Love this place, the coffee, the flaky buttery croissant, the location, the sea breeze blowing at you. Just a great place to sit and enjoy

Go to order: iced matcha latte, sweetened Pick up your drink at the counter and enjoy a nice walk at Lido! They have pastries as well :)

i love this location. i try to go during off peak hours to avoid the craziness. really great seating with lots of space to work and close walk to the beach

A beautifully located blue bottle that's not in LA! This spot is clean and beautiful next to the port, and inside Hanahaus- a shared reservation-required work space (like WeWork). We parked on the free 30 mins only spot on the street nearby. The coffee is always good, I ordered the nola cold foam and it was delicious. It's clearly roasted with great beans , a few sips and I was wired... and I drink a lot of coffee! This place also sell merch, pastries, instant coffee, beans, cups, etc. it's a great coffee shop!

Relaxing and clean coffee spot with a nice view of Newport Bay. It shares a space with HanaHaus, and the layout's a little confusing , as it's not super clear what's part of the café and what's coworking. A basic single-origin coffee was $6, which feels a bit steep, but I like that they do pour-overs and use more eco-friendly materials for takeout. The cashier was really friendly and service was quick.

TLDR: Classic blue bottle location with expensive parking. Drinks are on the sweeter end, but the compromise is that portside view while being sheltered from the weather (and sandy beaches). Tip: Try to find street parking, because the parking structure is $10 for the first hour - no smaller increments! - - - - - - I don't frequent Blue Bottle too often, but the one at Via Lido is not one that I would consider frequently visiting. For starters, parking is quite expensive. Street parking is difficult to find, and parking in the structure is $10 / hour and $2.50 per 15 mins after. (They do not do validation.) Parking at the nearby plaza opens your car up for towing, as there is an attendant actively keeping tabs on cars. (And they even mentioned that they actively tow.) Outside of parking complaints, walking into Blue Bottle "from the back," I discovered Hanahaus, a workspace that you pay $4/hour to use - awkward! Thankfully, Blue Bottle does have some seating, which was fairly comfortable, and they also have well-lit high tables and potentially some meetings rooms in the back, though I am unsure if Hanahaus owns those, too. Having not visited Blue Bottle in a while, I went with the Winter Nola, one of my previous favorites, with oat milk. This drink was intensely bold, not milked down, but very sweet and harder to enjoy. While the staff were friendly and the portside views were majestic, I am unsure if I will be returning for a quick coffee meetup.

Great location by a harbor and lots of popular stores so nice views of boats while you wait for your coffee. Also a fantastic spot if you want to get some work done on the office side - although you do have to pay for that. Not really a stay and hang out kind of coffee place though. They have a few tables on the coffee side but it didn't feel like a spot to mingle at all. They do have outdoor seating in the front. The service was good. It was a little busy and there isn't much extra room. It likely took 15 minutes from walking in to getting my coffee. The coffee itself was fantastic! ! I had the black cardamom latte and it was so delicious. I wish every coffee shop offered this flavor.

Consistently delicious drinks, high quality matcha, wonderful staff, and a great space in Lido! This shop is connected to Hanahaus where you can rent tables or conference rooms and there is also some free indoor and outdoor tables for blue bottle specifically. My favorite drinks are the signature NOLA, matcha latte, and their new chai is to die for- default is oat milk for all drinks!

Surprisingly fast on a weekday morning with pleasant service. I was looking to try something new and went with a seasonal NOLA with almond milk. It hit the exact spot I was looking for, which was something with a little sweetness to perk up my morning. It had vanilla, cinnamon and honey mixed with a chicory coffee. A good balance of bitter and sweet. My husband got his usual iced Americano and said that it was excellent. Quite a few people working in the workspace attached to it, but it felt very quiet with a nice view.

Place was closed for a private event but they didn't update their opening hours online. So one needs to call in advance to check whether they are open or not.

Underwhelming matcha latte. It tasted like more milk than matcha. Very pricey coffee too. If anything, you're paying for the ambiance. Location is great overlooking the marina. Odd to have iced matcha served in a paper cup.

The best coffee with a view! This location has the best service and makes a superb drink. The staff are friendly and prompt. Parking can be difficult, but well worth it.

Delicious! The iced coffees and matches are way bigger now, instead of being two tablespoons of coffee! They also have house made almond milk! And they've also added more delicious snacks to the menu! I highly recommend ordering from here especially if you're remote working! To make it even easier, you can order from their app!

One of my favorite spots at Newport Beach for coffee. The store is clean and neat. They have fresh beans for purchase and most of the beans have fresh dates. One thing make this place special is the view behind it, it has nice ocean view, boats, so people can take good pictures here. However, the outside ocean view sitting area is belongs to a co-working space company, so now you will need to pay if you want to go outside (they used to have no restrictions on letting people go outside and take few photos for the ocean view). Street parking is limited but there is a parking garage nearby and you need to walk for few blocks. There are couple good stores and coffee shop along the way too. Coffee is always smooth and has nice coffee taste, like other blue bottle coffee normally do.

Good morning this is the second time I've been to Blue Bottle coffee have done a mobile order. They don't have it ready then you still have to wait then I get my cup is full of ice. I paid 775 for a cup of ice give me a break I got a refund. I'll go home and make it myself

Huge fan of this coffee space. Elegant yet accessible. Quiet but you can still hold a conversation. Gorgeous views and great coffee. Huge win. I will absolutely be back and tune I need to work in Newport!

4.2 stars Great coffee, no doubt. However, the cappuccino tasted like a latte. Be sure to have a bit of patience as this location was a tad bit slow. Additionally, they don't provide the traditional syrups like sugar free vanilla, caramel, etc.. Besides that, the people working were sweet and the space is limited unless you want to pay by the hour for seating (as there is pretty limited seating for the blue bottle area outside). Will definitely return and pet friendly!

This location is very accessible if you're walking around the Lido area and looking for a good cup of coffee - if you're driving specifically for a visit here, that can be tricky. The staff here are almost always friendly, albeit busy when you come in. They have some of the best pastries here - I highly recommend any of their croissants in particular! Their menu is more unique than some other coffee shops, so it can be off-putting if you don't know what to order, but if you're a coffee pro, it's likely one you'll appreciate. On my latest visit I tried their seasonal black cardamom latte (hot) and it was delicious - particularly the orange flavoring! Their drinks have been hit or miss for me in the past, but I'm planning on coming back to order that again! Now, a couple of cons go with this review: The seating here belongs to Hana Haus, a rentable workspace, so there is no seating for Blue Bottle customers (you'd have to pay to book a spot). The prices of drinks are also about $1 more than your standard craft roastery (likely due to the waterfront space), which does keep me from being more of a regular. They also don't keep your more standard syrups like caramel or vanilla on hand to flavor your drink, so bear that in mind if you have a sweet-tooth. Their sweet latte is flavored with a syrup derived from raw sugar.

By far the best coffee shop around. The staff there is super nice & always is friendly when I come in. The iced NOLA is the best cold brew you could find. & the view of the bay in lido is . Whenever I have a friend from out of town visit me, I always make sure we come here.

The atmosphere is divine! I like the work shared space with blue bottle it adds ambience The chicory root coffee Nola Shakerato was a perfect palate pleaser

4/12/2023 SEASONAL NOLA / ORANGE BLOSSOM NOLA (with whole milk) You can really taste the orange blossom at first sip. The chicory coffee is still strong  and the added orange blossom is bright, creamy, and floral. A delicious flavor combo. Yet the orange blossom is front and center. SWEET LATTE (with whole milk, breve) This is my go-to when I'm at Blue Bottle. Every once in awhile I'll ask for the breve. A breve latte. It is half-and-half steamed instead of milk. BB makes it frothier, creamier, velvety and rich. The brown sugar brings a hint of sweetness too, a perfect latte on a cold and cloudy day. PARKING It always sucks to find parking here. There is free street parking, but it's not easy to find. Sometimes you can wait to see if anyone is leaving, but there's no guarantee. It seems the Lido Marina parking structure is now opened, whereas it was closed before, for reasons unknown. So you can park there if you want to browse around longer and walk around. The last time I was there, the parking was expensive, so recommend driving around for free parking instead.

1. The drinks were delicious, and I love the creamy texture of the iced NOLA! 2. The spot has fun productive vibes as it is located inside another business similar to a WeWork! 3. The staff were friendly and quick with the drinks! The NOLA was made immediately after I finished the transaction! Note: There are limited street parking and a nearby parking garage!

Newport Beach, CA I think I died and went to coffee heaven. I just had a cappuccino that tasted like perfection in a cup. In all seriousness, based on the words of Jesus Christ, I know there is a real heaven, and whatever we will experience in heaven will be so much more than we can ever imagine but until then... this is very good coffee. Seriously, I had the most amazing decaf cappucino with whole milk just before closing. I enjoyed every last drop. I've been wanting to visit a Blue Bottle shop for many, many years and this was my first visit. Whenever I walk by this particular shop it's always closed because they close at 7 PM and I'm usually by this shop after hours. I was walking on the Marina boardwalk at Lido overlooking the boats and yachts and the smell of coffee was incredibly enticing. I saw the lights on through their glass window and people sitting at tables inside and I walked around to see if I could catch them before closing. Score! I spoke with the nicest man at the barista counter who explained a bit about the company and answered all of my coffee questions. All of their coffee is roasted in the Bay area and I understand that quality and consistency is extremely important to their company. There was another barista in training and boy was I a lucky guinea pig of the night....he made me a truly perfect cappucino! I purchased a 12 oz. bag of whole bean espresso roast which has notes of Chocolate Orange zest and Brown sugar...Can't wait to brew it at home!

Hands down the most delicious coffee I have ever had... and I've had coffee from around the World. This coffee is so smooth and rich, every sip is better then the last. I'm not kidding... I had a Cardamom latte. Divine. We had a iced Matcha as well, tasty, Matcha is not my thing.... However.... (Flipping great coffee is!) The staff are super friendly, it takes a bit longer then let's say a "Starbucks"but... It is worth every extra minute. They are dog friendly and offer pastries and cold drinks... If you haven't been... GO!

If you are coming just for coffee and you're taking it to go, 10/10 this place is super good. I loved how unique some of the flavorings were and the saffron vanilla latte was amazing/unique. The barista's were very nice and I got my order pretty quick. Only thing I was disappointed with was they only had one table inside and a standing area that you could work for free. I was needing to charge my computer and couldn't find an outlet I could use for free. The coffee shop is connected to an establishment that you can use their space to work, but that you have to pay to work in the space. Which is OK, but for paying almost $14 for just a pastry and coffee just kind of disappointing that I wasn't able to sit by the water and work without paying extra fee. For the prices you should be able to sit there and work and not have to pay even more money. They did have outside seating, but they do not have any charging outlets out there, and you were up against the main street. Overall, if you're just wanting a cup of coffee, I would definitely recommend going here, but if you're looking to sit and work, I would go somewhere else.

This is THE place to get a perfect espresso or ristretto. Always measured, timed, brewed, and served to the highest standards. Combine it with the (paid) ambiance of the Hanahouse and you have a great escape place. Love it. Please keep it brewing

10/10 on everything I tried here. From the matcha and latte to the croissants and avocado toast. This is a great place to grab coffee with friends and walk around to the shops The service was 1000/10 For more coffee shop recommendations follow me on instagram @audrey.pulliam or here on yelp

This cafe is right along the water in Lido Village so has a gorgeous view of the harbor. Parking along the street is metered but if you park in corner structure there is No validation so not convenient. The drinks looked amazing but didn't taste like much. I had a green tea latte and my date had a cappuccino which also looked amazing but was lacklustre for the price you pay. The seating is limited to outside or inside at a small table workspace otherwise you have to sign up and make a reservation online to sit anywhere else in the shop. Menu is small and very eclectic overall it's a great place if you are taking a stroll inthe area. Drinks and view look amazing for sure and great way to start the day.

The guys here are so nice. And wow the coffee is delicious IMO. High quality and doesn't give you a headache after. Love it here.

Picked up a (Too Good To Go app) order for $5! I was expecting an old soggy pastry from the day before, but the ones I got were so delicious still! I was genuinely surprised with the items that I got! (croissant, almond croissant, lemon cake, cookie) I also ended up ordering an iced matcha latte and I loved it! This place definitely encourages a positive workplace for individuals or as a team. There are also a lot of tables and work rooms in the building and chairs outside to enjoy the view!

They have great drinks and the location is perfect. But the drinks are so small and they don't have size options. So you can drink an iced latte with one sip of the straw because it's more ice than coffee, tastes great but it's not enough to get me thru the day. The employees are nice, have good suggestions and the views from the cafe are amazing!

Beautiful interior and amazing view of the water and boats that are docked. I ordered a Cafe latte ($6) and Single Origin Pour Over Coffee ($6) and they both had really strong notes and good coffee flavor. I love the simplicity in their branding and all of their branded goods (i.e. coffee pour over device, coffee beans, etc.). I wasn't a huge fan of the prices. It's more costly here compared to other coffee establishments for the same item. In addition, parking is a pain here. I get it, it's right next to the water, but when I'm just looking for a quick stop this is not the place for me.

Always had great, kind service, delicious coffee and fresh pastries here. The space inside is small but there's lovely casual outdoor seating that gets nice sunlight and/or it's also just a beautiful location to walk around and soak up the other local shops or photo worthy views.

On the border of Newport Harbor, adjacent to the quaint cove of Lido Marina, in the HanaHaus shared workspace filled with racing sails trimming their enclosure, and a view of the yachts gracing their sightline, lies the famed Blue Bottle Coffee - Via Lido. The service is spot on, customer experience is great, and the New Orleans iced Shakerato with oat milk is a wonderful, yet pricey, treat to sip on while watching the boats drift on by. The taste of the Shakerato is sweet, with a punch of tantalizing chicory adding to its allure.

Cute little coffee place inside HanaHaus where you can work and drink coffee. I like their lattes and I'm ordering an orange blossom nonfat latte.

Coffee was solid. Service was great and knowledgeable. Only issue is really no area to sit unless you want to stand or pay hourly to seat at the business shared space. prioritizing people should be at the core of service.

I enjoyed my drink. It is a classic New Orleans style coffee, strong but sweet. Tasty. My complaint is that the my iced coffee was served in a paper cup, which I'm not sure if it's intentional or they run out of plastic cups, but I feel like it takes away from the coffee experience since the cup (being paper) gets soggy since the drink is iced and I tasted paper in my coffee :( . I know it's being picky but these small things matter as an avid iced coffee drinker and coffee shop connoisseur. The experience drinking the coffee also matters. I liked having the marina view though. I will give it another chance to be fully impressed at an LA location.

3 New Orleans style please... Enjoying a sunny day here in the Lido at Newport Beach!!! Blue Bottle coffee always is a great refresher on any day!!!

We got a Pour over and Cold brew of the same blend. It was a dark roast one they had for the day, both very good. Great location on Lido, cute outdoor seating in front as well. They share space with those work spaces you can reserve. I would definitely consider working there a few hours, for the ambience and coffee.

Summary for Review: - Been to both Palo Alto Blue Bottle & this one, and I personally thought this place is much nicer (area-wise, spaciousness, etc.) - Hanahaus (study/work space) is in same place, however you NEED TO PAY to sit at the Hanahaus areas (open seating $4/hr as of August 2023) - Bluebottle seating areas are on the right side as you enter the place. Outside seatings are also Blue Bottle seating areas. - Recommend hitting Lido Marina after grabbing coffee here even if you don't sit at Blue Bottle :) very convenient walk. Any Tip: - Grab coffee here, walk to Lido Marina afterwards - Spacious parking near ZPizza. you don't have to pay parking near ZPizza but if you go to Lido Marina parking structure you have to pay (2 hours free with validation) Service (5/5) - Friendly & welcoming Ambiance (5/5) - Spacious and lots of natural light

Best iced Mocha latte I've had! Kinda reminds me of the chocolatey "champorado" taste, which I love. It's not too sweet or strong, but it definitely keeps you energized long enough to get work done. I love the quality and the way the baristas make each drink. The only downside is the fact that it's $7 for a relatively small size. But good coffee is worth it, especially this one. The pictures below are regarding the Hana House workspace inside the same building. They charge min $3/hour, but offer a great space to study and get some work done :)

Nice place. Product: The pastries are always out. Coffee is really good, no doubt. Service workers: Maybe smile a little and pretend you want to be there?

For years now I've been a fan of Blue Bottle coffee and often stop through the DTLA location inside the historic Bradbury Building, with its wall of books. Because of this prior association, I was happy to discover that they had a small but beautifully appointed location in the Lido Marina. The lovely wood interior shares the building with a Workspace, but you can't sit over the divide unless you pay to play. During 2020 and most of 2021 we could only do take-out, which is fine, but it was nice to finally be able to sit down for a spell recently and sip the drinks while they were still hot. On this occasion I appreciated the barista making a suggestion for me, which proved highly enjoyable. Normally their coffee is the trending medium roasted with corresponding light fruit and nutty flavors, great for morning but not after dinner or before a long drive home in traffic. The solution? Americano with their espresso roast beans. Definitely a good choice. The location is clean and the employees are always friendly. Never ate here but the pastries look fresh and visually impressive. My favorite aspect, however, is looking, or leaving, out the back door to the view of the harbor. Recommended for great coffee and good quality beans for home consumption, especially Pour-Over preparation. Ask if you're unsure which beans are best for an espresso machine if you have one.

Blue bottle is my fav coffee shop in Lido! The matcha is the perfect mix between milk and tea flavored. Lots of friends have also said that they enjoyed the cold brew in particular! Waiting for drinks takes a while sometimes but it's is very worth it. The location itself is big and quiet which is perfect for studying/getting work done. You do have to pay for outside seating though.

I am so happy that there is a Blue Bottle in Orange County. Blue Bottle is my "thing" when we go to San Francisco. Funny thing: I don't actually drink coffee -- only tea. They do an amazing black tea that they brew for the full four minutes. I wish they put the milk "out" for guests to add their own. With COVID, the barista has to add the milk (but there is sugar that you can add). The only challenge with this location is that there isn't much seating. There is a co-working space adjacent to it which occupies the majority of the indoors. There is also a floor to ceiling glass window/door on the back of the shop but you can't open the doors? That's kind of weird? 2021: 35/100
