alta coffee & roasting

the best place to have breakfast is near the water. it is and has been a long time dream of mine to live near the water. i imagine waking up saturday morning, walking or riding a bike with my family to our local cafe. the cafe wouldn’t necessarily over look the ocean, but it would be really close. the smell and the vibe of the ocean takes over and you have a relaxing breakfast. the cafe can’t be a mecca either. no line. no hustle and bustle of waiters and patrons. just a small cafe with no noise. after breakfast, a troll to the beach for a swim, and i am set. this to me is a perfect start to a saturday morning. at alta coffee in newport beach, this dream felt close enough to reality. i ordered the bueno bowl. it had layers with tortilla chips, black beans, potatoes, bacon, cheese, and scrambled egg. it was topped with salsa, and avocado and sour cream. this dish reminded me of kamil’s breakfast at blu jam cafe , minus the pasta. the mexican inspired bowl of breakfast items was a good b

it's mainly locals and it can get really crowded on the weekends. my favorite is their poached eggs and bacon. their fresh roasted coffee is terrific too. in the evening they offer live entertainment. for a kick, check out open mike night on tuesday nights.

great restaurant with delicious food! ate there for breakfast. the staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing. i definitely recommend this place!

tasty scones!. right now the only thing i can write a review on is their coffee and scones. coffee was great and only $1.60ish which is great compared to starbucks and tastes great! but what makes me want to go back to this place for breakfast on another day is trying their scones. oh my, they are soooooo good. most scones i've had were a bit on the dry side and condensed. their scones were moist, flavorful and me wanting more. i can't wait to go back for breakfast and try their crepes!

best hidden coffee house on the peninsula. get the breakfast burrito with turkey and the red sauce. the buckwheat pancakes are also amazing! the sandwiches are also noteworthy. if you are near lido island and find yourself hungery stop by alta cafe

~cd~. absolutely amazing. if you are looking for breakfast, go here. i had an omelet with potatoes and homemade bread. food was incredible, you can sit outside which makes it even better. went here with dausch and allam. they had the breakfast burrito and it was insanely huge. they loved it. would 100% go back.

go here. you most definitely wontt be dissapointed.

alta. cute coffee house to spend your free time in. they have great coffee, service, and great food. they salads and sandwiches are the best!

wonderful little place. i'd completely forgotten about alta being tucked away in cannery village in newport. such a nice restaurant -- a bit of bohemian culture where you'd least expect it. recent meal was nachos (yum!) and chicken salad (yum again). only sad thing was no diet coke. well, i suppose i shouldn't always drink it. can't wait to go back and eat more there.
