KIT Coffee

We stopped by just a few minutes before closing, having seen enticing photos of Kit’s avocado toast online, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating, they didn’t try to rush us out. I got one of the seasonal lattes which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Husband got the Purple Dream, an ube coconut milk-based drink. (Note: this was from a previous seasonal menu so selections will vary depending when you visit)

The cafe is located in a busy Newport Beach shopping center. Seating at small tables and benches is available both inside and outside. A small shop with an assortment of small artisan crafted gifts and cards is fun to peruse as you wait for your order.

Highlights:
– Smoked Avocado Toast – lived up to expectations. Plenty of creamy avocado, crunchy bacon, and smoky flavor from the paprika.
– Breakfast Burrito – hearty and filling, packed with chorizo, eggs, and cheesy hash browns. The rice didn’t have as much cilantro flavor as expected, but overall this was a solid and satisfying brunch choice.

This place is so nice. Has outlet for laptops too and a lot of people just staying and using laptops. Love it. Good place to hang out with friends or alone.

This is one of my favorite places for casual coffee or meeting with clients. The drinks and food are great, ambiance is wonderful, and there are plenty of spots inside with chargers if you need to work on your computer. And there is a yoga studio nearby if you want to do your morning workout, then grab some coffee!

Parking in front can be tough to find during peak hours but there is a lot next to the bank with plenty of spots.

Highly recommend this location.

Service were okay but they could have been clear whether they bring the food out or we go pick up. They gave us a number and was told they will bring it. Then our latte was ready sitting there for 15 mins. They called our name but when we went up one of the employees told us they will bring to us and that’s not our. So we continue to wait until another guy came outside to called our name and we went back to find out that latte sitting out was our.

The matcha brulee didnt taste the same. It was soggy and burnt. Not the brulee part that was burn but the toast itself was burn.
Avocado lox toast were alright.
Matcha latte were a bit too light, could have been better with a strong matcha

NOT SO GOOD ! My wife and I checked out this coffee shop about 12 months ago…soon after we moved to Irvine. We were looking for somewhere to get great coffees and a wholesome lunch during our Sunday bike rides. All we saw were a few croissants in a display case….the girl behind the counter explained they don’t make sandwiches other than avocado toast. SO WE GAVE IT A MISS ! There were other cafes very nearby that provided decent coffees and fresh made wholesome lunch food. On Sunday we decided to at least to give this place a try. It had good online ratings and when we turned up around 1pm it looked reasonably busy. NO CROISSANTS ! The cashier said they sell out in the morning. OK ! My wife checked out the menu on a clipboard….avocado toast was her choice. The menu was completely breakfast slanted and we had enjoyed a substantial breakfast at home hours before. I don’t do avocado toast but my wife was happy to order a basic version not on the menu…just avocado on toast. We also ordered 2 x 12 oz Lattes with 2% milk. I had checked out their syrups beside the espresso machine and could tell they make their own…..no thanks. I nabbed the last 2 seats inside….2 low slung stools facing the outdoor patio. My wife paid and was given table no 33. We had to collect our lattes but someone would bring out my wife’s avocado toast. After a few short minutes my wife’s name was called out and I walked straight over to the espresso counter to collect them….the latte art looked lovely ! After placing them on the low countertop in front of our seats we sugared them and tried them straight away. VERY SAD ! Both were barely luke warm and tasted very milky. The female cashier had reassured my wife there would be 2 espresso shots in each latte so they must be using a very light roast. My wife’s avocado toast came out….just toast with avocado slapped on as requested by my wife who thought it was fine. TERRIBLE LATTES ! One always likes to loiter over a nice hot latte and drink it slowly. In this case if we waited 30 seconds more we would be drinking cold coffees. WE WON’T BE BACK !
