Crew Coffee & Cremerie — Restaurant in Newport Beach

Great coffee stop for a simple artisan style brew. You won’t find an overly fussy menu filled with 20 latte flavors or ice blended drinks, but what you will get is a high-quality roast, with excellent flavor notes.

I take my coffee pretty seriously and it is tough to impress me, but I enjoyed my experience here. I ordered an iced breve vanilla latte. It was just the right balance of sweetness and cream. Additionally they have some delicious treats to choose from. I had a tough time choosing, but ended up going with the Lido Bar (peanut butter mouse, raspberry jam, dipped in dark chocolate) and it was delectable. I actually went back for another the next day.

The cafe was very clean and the ambiance is really nice too. They have a large grassy area with lawn chairs under trees, where you can relax and read a book or people watch....

First coffee shop in Newport Beach who knows what a cappuccino is (6oz. Not 10, not 12, not 16. No such thing as a “small” or “large” cappuccino. Same goes with latte (8oz) I could rant forever about this but OC doesn’t seem to know coffee very well)

However - seems they’ve never used a steam wand. Horrible foam, bubbly. See picture attached. Please watch a couple of YouTube videos on it.

And interestingly enough they had my cappuccino ready within literally 20 seconds - this causes MUCH skepticism.

It should take around 25-30 seconds to pull a good double shot of espresso. Then another 20-30 seconds to properly steam milk. Which we can tell from the picture they didn’t do.

Please strive for better results,...

Looked liked a cool place to sit outside and have a coffee. Paid $2.10 to park only to stand at the counter for 10 minutes with nobody else in line and never get service. Was told about 5 min. in to my wait that they would be with us in just a moment. That never happened. My wife, my daughter and myself just walked out. We were there to spend $15 between the three of us but nobody seemed to care. I own a business and know how important customer service is. Check your cameras around 10:30am on March 12 to see how your employees are taking care...
