Java Bakery Cafe

Years ago when I was a college student (which was almost 2 decades ago), I used to go to their Irvine location. I loved their lattes and baked goods. I was surprised that they moved to Newport Beach, but it was good for me and my husband since our hotel was close by. We got here pretty early on a Sunday morning so parking wasn't too bad. The drinks and bakery items were still as good as I remembered! We would definitely go back if we are ever in Newport again!

Cute lil bakery/cafe. Food was good and ambiance is nice. Indoor and outdoor tables. An easy and quick convenient spot. It was a bit slow to get our food with few guests on a Sunday morning but not egregious. Cute little shopping/gift items and pastries available as well.

This is the place to be ... leisurely breakfast, coffee to go and meeting friends. Dropped in on a Saturday morning and the place was packed with a hustle and bustle, even hearing Happy Birthday being sung to a seasoned (read senior) guest. 30 minutes later it cleared out. Almond croissant was huge and had a nice crisp. Oatmeal was creamy. It was accompanied by sugar in the raw it seemed instead of brown sugar. Inside seating is limited but the patio has lots of tables in the shade or with umbrellas. Enjoy!

Horrible catering experience! Paid up the nose for bagels for a business meeting (I think it was $4 per bagel). I asked for a variety and when they got delivered, I received 50% plain, 25% cinnamon raisin, and 25% jalapeño cheese. They were hard as rocks, and I'm almost positive we received say old leftovers. The delivery was late, and I didn't receive the butter and jelly I was promised. The delivery person was unapologetic and seemed totally clueless. They had to go get the butter and jelly and come back. Not that it mattered because no one ate the bagels anyway. Will be going to Shirley's instead from now on. Way more reliable!

Stopped by to get a coffee and some pastries before the balboa parade. Although they were busy, service and food was still pretty fast. The croissants here were huge, but still airy and buttery. The coffee was strong and smooth.

I came here to get a drink to quench my thirst after pilates class & O M G I found the best green tea latte ever!! The quality of the tea was so good, and the flavor was just so unique from any other green tea lattes I have ever had. The worker was so kind, she even brought the drink to me even though I was not a sit down customer. I want to try their pastries next time!

They do not give enough Dressing. And they don't know how to boil an egg! Food was fine. Location is perfect. Will be back.

Good coffee and well put tasty whole wheat bagel sandwiches! The Belgian waffles wowed our kiddo !The service was fast even though there was a constant drip of people. The staff is super nice and pays attention to customers even when the place is busy. They wowed our kid by surprising him with a bowl of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup!Another nice thing, given it's NB: free and ample parking! It's a cozy cafe with both comfortable indoor and outdoor seating.

I got a breakfast burrito and got full halfway in, it is well-filled and delicious! The service was fast and friendly. I appreciate the booth seating and free wifi from the plaza but do wish that there were outlets to use. Good study location if you'll only stay a few hours because the store has enough seating but is a bit small.

Coffee is so good, recommend the cinnamon roll latteCafe is cozy Customer service was amazing and beyond friendly.
