Daydream - Newport Beach, California

Stopped by Newport Daydream Surf Shop and meant to write this sooner, but I was too busy riding the espresso-fueled wave of enlightenment. Yes this place makes coffee. Smooth, rich, just the right amount of bite like a little Italian vacation in a tiny cup. Took one sip, stared out at the ocean, and briefly considered quitting everything to become a poet. Still might. If you’re around and need a proper caffeine jolt, this is the spot. Good vibes, and espresso that’ll make you rethink your life choices, in the best way.

Solid Americano. Friendly baristas. Sample space. Loud inside, quiet out front. Lovely selection of shoppable items. Unique.

Had the veggie scramble—without dairy—and it was delicious.

Ughhh, on my second visit they got my order wrong twice😖. Asked for veggie eggs no dairy and they loaded it with cheese and buttered the bread; on the redo, they got the eggs right but both times forgot to add the prosciutto I paid for. Oh well!🤷🏽‍♂️ At least it was tasty once I eventually got the eggs, even if I ended up overpaying—I never got the prosciutto🙈

Not a huge fan of their brewed coffee, but will try their espresso next time. 😣okay, tried their espresso and it is too sweet for me (i.e., much like Portola or Commissary); and since they don’t do long shots, it can’t be made nice and bitter. Will try their matcha next time😉 Nonetheless, still love this place.

Atmosphere is like a bright cozy warehouse/store with open garage doors and high ceilings.
Seating is a mixture of benches, bleachers, counter top, and small tables with electric outlets underneath.

Amazing vibes, great people, and unparalleled coffee. The bohemian aesthetic mixed with the down to earth service if a perfect recipe for a relaxing yet productive space. It’s definitely part community gathering space part sanctuary to get work done or just have a relaxing time with friends or family. Becca and Kyle really have done a fantastic job with this place. Would highly recommend.

First coffee shop we stopped in on our tour of California and we loved every bit of it. From delicious coffee, sandwiches and avocado toast to immaculate vibes, this place had it all. The staff were very friendly and the experience was awesome!

My favorite place in Southern California. I used to come here every day when I first moved to this area and found the staff to be so nice and very passionate about what they do! The owners are super sweet, always there, and super down to earth. I can't say enough nice things about the staff - all with their own really cool personalities. The natural lighting and atmosphere in here is really relaxing with a collection of really awesome vintage collection for sale, locally made pottery, and they highly support local creatives.

This guys know how to make a good coffee (which is not common for Orange county). Selection of pastry is limited but people come here not for a peace of banana bread. The 70s - surfer ambiance is what they sell here. Patrons look foxy... Nice going!
