About Daydream

Daydream in Newport Beach is a unique hybrid space functioning as both a quality coffee destination and a surf shop offering rentals and gear. Customers consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and passionate staff, the relaxing bohemian atmosphere, and the unparalleled, high-quality espresso drinks. This spot is ideal for coffee aficionados and surfers alike, providing both expert board knowledge and an inspiring, community-focused environment.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable staff, often highlighting specific baristas and owners. The coffee quality is frequently described as unparalleled, top-notch, or the best in the area, with specialty drinks like the pineapple foam and 'One & Fun' receiving specific acclaim. The atmosphere is consistently noted as amazing, cozy, relaxing, and having a unique, cool 70s/bohemian surfer vibe. The shop also offers a great selection of unique, locally made, and vintage merchandise, alongside high-quality surfboards for sale and rent at competitive prices.

Things to Consider

A few isolated incidents reported rude or indifferent staff attitudes. Some found the coffee size tiny with too much ice, or specific drinks (like brewed coffee or espresso) too sweet for their preference. Food selection, particularly pastries, was noted as limited. Criticisms regarding the physical space included uncomfortable seating, the back door being left open causing a chill, and one instance of receiving a to-go cup for a dine-in order. One review expressed significant concern over perceived lax COVID-19 protocol enforcement regarding masks and social distancing. One customer reported receiving incorrect food orders twice, including missing paid-for items.
