This is a quaint little coffee shop with friendly staff. It feels a lot more homey and…read morecomfortable than the big chain coffee shops. I ordered a hot bianco coffee and a cheddar bagel. The bianco is their white chocolate mocha and it came out pretty nice. The espresso was smooth and nice while the flavored syrup was just enough so it wasn't too sweet. The bagel was fresh and I asked them to toast it and add a spread of cream cheese. They toasted it perfectly, no crunchy bites but it still had a nice crisp exterior. Overall, this is a really nice place to sit and have a coffee. Plus the coffee is really good here!

I had an early morning and it was chilly, so I was excited to be able to get a warm caffeinated beverage. I ordered a matcha latte here with oat milk. Overall, I was underwhelmed. The matcha flavor was barely there and it tasted a bit watered down. My drink also tasted a bit grainy, which was unusual. While I finished it, I can't say I enjoyed it. My husband ordered a black coffee and thought it was good though! When I came on a Saturday morning, the line was long but it moved quickly. Service was standard. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way for this spot, however, if you're looking for a quick spot before hopping on the ferry, I'd avoid the matcha and stick to the coffee!

Their Coconut Mocha and Raspberry Ruffle are my two go-tos. Definitely on the sweeter end but so delicious. Perfect location to grab a coffee if you're going on Island Packers to Channel Islands as they're located right next door. Also great if you're just walking the harbor and want a pick-me-up. Staff are always incredible - kind and friendly. They have a little outdoor seating bar with a few seats overlooking the harbor. Great stop for coffee.

Her name was Melissa and she alone gets 5 stars! We didn't want anything incredibly sweet, but she kindly let us know that we can always opt for 1/4 sweet. There was also a list of drinks next to the register that were sugar free drink options. Win! I did want to try the Maui Milk that is unique to Makenna Koffee, so I didn't get an americano this time - but maybe next time! We got one or the yummy cold brews and I got one of the supreme drinks extra hot. Both tasty and we will certainly be back! The kind, positive vibes alone at this location were enough reason to come back. And the merch was cute too! Lots of open seating and a comfy area to hang and meet with people. Will definitely be back! 5 stars all around!

I love their pastries, but the recent price increases do make them a luxury item. Kouign Amann are my fave, but any of their croissants are also great. I haven't really tried their drinks. Had a Hot chocolate at the Camarillo location, and they even had a little latte art in the milk foam. A beautiful space to enjoy, but pricey overall. Service is usually fine, not overly friendly but that is also due to being so busy that they need to move the lines quickly and efficiently. At Camarillo, the server was much more talkative and friendly because it wasn't crowded when I went.

The food wasn't very good! I ordered the Spring Salad…read morepictured below Supposed to be...Spring greens, strawberries, blueberries, toasted pistachios with balsamic vinaigrette.

She had the chicken salad. She said it was just chicken with mayo. The croissant was dry. The iced tea tasted like coffee unfortunately. The gentleman that delivered our food just plopped the plates down and walked away. No gluten free options only macaroons! First time at this location normally go to Camarillo and TO so I was expecting the same great food and service. There was a napkin on the ground directly under our table.

It's never overly crowded or overwhelming, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful experience. My wife and I often stop by on weekend mornings for coffee. While it can get a bit busier when the nearby church lets out, it still maintains a comfortable and laid-back vibe. It's one of our favorite spots to sit back, relax, and enjoy some quiet time together. We've also had the opportunity to try their wine, and it was a fantastic experience. It's great to have such a wonderful local business close to home, offering quality coffee and wine without the hassle of heavy traffic or large crowds. This place deserves more recognition than it gets. Although it's somewhat hidden, it's become one of our favorite places to visit, and we always look forward to coming back.
