I Was in Newport Beach today with Steve Averill of OCbizblog.com interviewing our most recent winner from OCjobtalk.com at a quaint little coffee shop called Kean Coffee in Newport Beach. I’m not too big of a coffee fan, although I do fancy a drink every now and then, but I was blown away at the way Kean (owned by the Diedrichs family) does coffee. Gone is the corporate, tract-home look of other
coffee shops. This place serves up big cups of coffee in large bowl cups that give one the feeling of being a guest in somebody’s home. In fact, I had the privilege of meeting Karen Diedrich there and after a brief conversation with her, definitely felt like a welcome guest there more than a customer.

And let’s face it that’s what independent small businesses can offer easier and more readily than corporations. Kean Coffee gets it. They go so far as to make their delicious coffee drinks into beautiful masterpieces turning creama and foam into hearts, leaves, and branches.

Stop on in, try the Turkish Latte, bring a book and relax. The Diedrichs have been waiting for you.

  • Y did it become your favourite shoppe?
  • The coffee was delicious, but more importantly, the environment and the ambiance was fantastic. Warm and inviting, the feel of the place reminded me of what Starbucks used to be. A place to get coffee and take a break from the hustle and bustle of life.
