Crystal Cove Shopping Center - Newport Beach, California

Ocean views in a gorgeous setting, this plaza will give you dining options under green vines with fantastic food varieties and calm boutiques.

Just park, walk, eat and relax. Sunsets are prime but any hour of the day makes for a pleasant experience!

A Coastal Escape with Ocean Views & Great Eats

If you’re looking for the perfect mix of shopping, dining, and stunning ocean views, Crystal Cove Shopping Center is where it’s at. Whether you’re here for a meal, a quick errand, or just to soak up the coastal vibes, this spot never disappoints.

Trader Joe’s Berries & Friendly Staff

One of my favorite things? Grabbing a box of fresh, organic berries from Trader Joe’s—they’re consistently top-notch. Sweet, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Plus, the staff here is always incredibly friendly, making every quick grocery run a pleasant experience.

Relax with a View

This place isn’t just about shopping—there’s plenty of free outdoor seating with heat lamps to keep you warm, all with a breathtaking ocean view. It’s the kind of spot where you can grab a coffee, take a deep breath, and just enjoy the moment.

Unbeatable Dining Options

Whether you’re in the mood for fresh seafood, upscale Mexican, or a casual brunch, Crystal Cove has some of the best restaurants around:
• Javier’s – A staple for upscale Mexican food, margaritas, and an unbeatable atmosphere.
• Bear Flag – The go-to for fresh poke and seafood lovers.
• Parakeet Café – Vibrant, health-conscious meals and excellent coffee.
• Crystal Cove Shake Shack – A classic spot for burgers and shakes with an oceanfront view.

Shopping & More

Beyond food, you’ve got Gap, Banana Republic, and high-end outdoor furniture stores, making it a great spot for a little retail therapy.

Perfect for a Weekend Visit

Even if you’re not shopping, Crystal Cove is worth the visit. Grab some berries, sip on a coffee, enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, and take in one of the most relaxing spots in Orange County.

It’s a beautiful stretch of wide open view to the Pacific Ocean. Isn’t it curious that it’s reserved for parked, empty cars?

I love this place! There are plenty of nice shops to look at, a Starbucks and quite a few nice restaurants. Down one end is a Trader Joe’s for you groceries and up the other end is an Aston Martin car dealer. There is also plenty of fancy cars coming and going.

First time to be here. It’s a good shopping mall. Restaurants are packed so decided to have a to go - desert from mastros and cup of coffee from Starbucks and while doing my walk, have to watch the beautiful sunset.

Nice little place with some eccletic shops, and restaurants. Javier's was extremely busy while the other weren't. Do not know why the hi volume as the other restaurants were nice and quite tasty as seen by their menu.

Crystal Cove is always spectacular. From the views, the beach breeze, the Sunday brunch atmosphere - and speaking of that, we were there for my daughter’s birthday celebration. We had perfect reservations on a perfect afternoon at perfect Javier’s.
