Vanilla chai tea is amazing! Customer service is also great! Can't go wrong with the pastry's. I go whenever I get a chance.

I am unfortunately a hater at heart and was really skeptical about the viral dirty chai. Happy to be disproven! It actually is pretty delicious Tried some of friends' plates and didn't necessarily think it was anything to write home about though tbh. But cute area to walk around afterwards and catch up with friends

I'm giving this review a 4 star instead of reflecting the 3 stars I'm actually feeling because if I were to have gone to Alta and just ordered my drink I would've said it was a super cute place with a super delicious Iced Spice Chai Latte. Service was nice. Ambiance was cozy. But the meals my friend and I got were extremely 6/10. I was excited to try their soup on a winter day but it was incredibly tasteless. It tastes like vegetables and water even with salt added. Their BLTA+Turkey sandwich was honestly tasty. But my friend shared that the burrito she had lacked flavor and was loaded with too much rice.

I had heard of this place on tiktok as so many people were saying how amazing their chai is. I love chais, so I wanted to go try it. It was good, it tasted a lot like some of my other favorite places for chais that are on the sweeter, more vanilla side. I didn't realize before going that there was a very cute outdoor patio and made note that I need to go back for food next time! The line was quite long when I arrived, but service didn't take too long. They seem to move through it quickly. I really find this spot to be so cute and if I lived closer, I'd probably be there at least once a week!

I was looking for a brunch place for my visiting aunt and decided why not down near lido marina and found this nice hole in the wall place. I must say parking is free on Sundays? But I paid just in case since I did see the cops come here as well for the coffee. I must say the Alta coffee blend is delicious and brings a warming aroma when smelling the first sniff off coffee. Have to order prior to sitting so definitely waiting outside is a bit nippy cold so definitely bring layers early morning. The host and server were very welcoming and made sure we get seated and have what we wanted to eat. The eggs Benedict and breakfast Burrito were a definite hit! My mom and aunt praised how the eggs Benedict were so delicious they were asking me if they wanted to get more! Overall great experience and will definitely be back again!

The ambiance is cozy, and they have a fair amount of outdoor seating, which is perfect for enjoying a sunny morning. It's a great place to relax with a cup of coffee and soak up the atmosphere. The breakfast menu is fantastic, featuring a variety of options from hearty breakfast burritos to delicious avocado toast. I tried their breakfast sandwich, and it was amazing--fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked. The coffee is top-notch, too! They offer a great selection of brews, and the baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone looking for a delicious breakfast and a great coffee experience. I'll definitely be making this my new go-to spot when in Newport!

- - ~ * WORTH 1 HR DRIVE * ~ - - Ngl I entered this place w/ the intention that it was going to be mid because it was SO overhyped on TikTok. BUT I was WRONG!! The chai latte was soo yummy!! The carrot cake was also pretty good. We got the - chai latte w/ oat milk & 1/2 vanilla, 1/2 spiced - chai latte w/ oat milk & spiced - carrot cake We added cinnamon at the condiments station and it made it taste EVEN better. There wasn't a line when we went and there's only paid street parking. The worker was so nice and sweet. GO TRY THIS PLACE!

My job asked me come into our Orange County office so I thought to myself.... what a great opportunity to go & stop by Atla Coffee before my work day and get a nice chai :D Initially I was going to order online but I had some technical difficulties on the road so I ended up ordering in person at the shop... and thankfully there was no line! I arrived at roughly 8:30am and there was only one person ahead of me in line. Parking was also very easy to find... which I was not expecting at all. After seeing the hype on tiktok I expected long lines and no parking. As a chai tea connoisseur, this really lived up to its expectation. I ordered the dirty chai (20oz iced vanilla chai with 2 added shots of expresso). This is hands down one of the best chai tea lattes I've had. The 2 shots of expresso were not overpowering & the chai tea tasted creamy and sweet, just the way I like it. If you like snickerdoodle flavors this drink is for ya! This place is so cute and cozy, I'm so glad I finally got to try it out! :)
