Kala coffeehouse is a cozy yet spacious coffee shop in Mason that serves great coffee while keeping one mission in mind, supporting the community. The building is tucked behind Axis church (not operated by) and just feet away from Mason CrossFit gym. The menu includes your typical expresso, cappuccinos, lattes and cold brew coffees. Along side a menu of hearty "No Utensils Required" menu of breakfast sandwiches, and unique Avocado toast. I celebrated a bit when I saw they serve coffee emporiums roast as I've been wanting to try that shop as well. Several seating options from sofas, dinning style tables, group tables with benches and cute caffe style window seating. The staff is very sociable, from discussing the current fundraising, coffee, diets and events happening around the area. You can tell they enjoy the place. It's a little out of my way, but I will revisit when life brings be to the area. (Check out the drinks of the month to see if your Team Rodger or Team Jackie) Cheers to caffeine from a member of Team Roger! read more

Signature Sandwich was amazing!! Fun spot, nice workers and great coffee. Will be back!

Love ..love everything about this place. Warm welcome always, coffee (I drink only black, no fru-fru drinks for me) -relational blend is and the pricing can't be beat. Love their mission and purpose serving their community. Visit here no less than twice a week, wish their hours on Saturday was extended (mom life needing down time). The atmosphere is so calm, feel at peace the minute walk in the door. read more

This place is a cute "hidden" gem. I've come to do work here a few times, but I must say it's more of a social atmosphere than it is for studying. It's QUITE loud and a large amount of people in there all the time. read more

Nice out of the way place to grab a cup of coffee. They serve a variety of roasts, a sausage sandwich with or without egg and cheese, sweets, and an assortment of other items. They are tucked behind Axis church and beside Mason CrossFit. The staff is friendly and helpful and all tips go to charity. They are a cafe for a cause. read more

Their coffee is so good!! The atmosphere is very calm and the place itself is super cute and aesthetic!! Highly recommend!

Coffeehouse with a great ambiance. Awesome customer service as they interact well with everyone. Local products and everything is made fresh to order. read more

This coffeehouse has great seasonal lattes. I tried the apple cider latte and loved the seemingly strange combo. I can't compare it to other latter flavors I've had, but will definitely order one again if it's an option next time I'm in town. Lots of seating and open space. I also tried their peanut butter chocolate cake donut. So good. read more

So good!! Best avocado toast I've ever had!! Cute atmosphere- hidden gem for sure! Sizes are big

YES! HERE IS THE BEST HIDDEN JEM EVER IN MASON/CINCINNATI (Yea I will give here definitely 5-star for sure!) As you can see from my pictures, the atmosphere here is too awesome and fantastic to chill out, read books or work. I'm proud of myself to find out this place by myself and yes! you are the next person to hit up here :) read more

I just went to Kala for the first time today and was very impressed. The girl that waited on me was so sweet and helpful and took a lot of time to help me pick out menu items I would like and tell me about the coffee shop. I got a cold brew with Kala cream and the nut butter, nana and honey toast and all I can say is WOW! So delicious! The only thing that upsets me is that I didn't know about this place sooner! Will definitely be back. Thank you for the awesome service! read more

I'm on vacation and had some free time, so I searched for coffee houses. This was an hour away from where I'm staying, but I decided to make the drive anyway. SO WORTH IT. I got a Snickers Frappe with an add shot and their Signature Sandwich with egg & cheese on a wheat muffin. I could cry because they were both delicious. Not only was the food great, but the two ladies working were both very nice. A great experience and I'm telling everyone I know that lives here about this place! read more

Kala Coffeehouse - The Signature Sandwich with egg & cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Stopped by here on a short road trip with my mom. I got a latte, she got the London fog. Both were delicious! Those folks there were very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of space to sit and enjoy some time with friends or a good book. It is also nice to know that as I'm supporting their business, it is also supporting various charities. read more

Stopped in for a few hours and a few coffees. It's a unique place for a coffee shop. However, once inside its definitely a coffee shop atmosphere. Comfortable, good WiFi, comfortable, and private space to work or socialize. Plus the coffee is really great! I enjoyed a regular latte, and a specialty latte that was described as a late with honey & salt. The specialty latte was AWESOME!!! The service was friendly and good. read more

After several visits just for Waffle Wednesday, my five star review stays the same. The owners and workers are by far the sweetest and most caring people I've met, and I absolutely adore their mission to help local youth (especially considering I work with this population). I've visited other coffee shops in a similar price range, but this one stands out as being better quality, more unique, and by far, more compassionate, community orientated, and humble, as opposed to some of the other higher end coffee shops that seem to charge more just because they can. I have brought both my parents to this shop just for Waffle Wednesday, and have a few other friends I'd like to bring. This shop truly is a gem, and unlike any other business is the area! read more

Kala Coffeehouse - Greek Yogurt and Whole Wheat Waffles from the latest Waffle Wednesday! I've now brought both of my parents and we all agree- worth the price - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Location is a bit hidden, but well worth it. Lovely space and great menus items. Tip: avocado toast is the bomb! Owners are full of spirit! Willing to chat and discuss the many charities your tips will support for children. What a gem in the Mason community! Private back room for larger groups with sliding barn doors is cute too! Don't forget Kala for meetings l, coffee with the girls or a first date. Love the atmosphere! read more

Cozy ambiance with great coffee, amazing breakfast sandwiches, and always friendly staff. Have your next meet up here, you won't regret it.

Made my way to Starbucks, and sat in the parking lot... Wanting something different.... Decided to off road it and found the greatest little coffee shop out of the way in an old warehouse. HUGE space, industrial but peaceful. Lots of space for doing work, free Wi-Fi, even a conference room available. FABULOUS, interesting menu. Breakfast sandwiches, and a plethora of "toasts" from Blue Oven Bakery... with many different toppings, even avocado with Egyptian spices! Well worth the drive... and not very far from Kings Island. AND, all of their tips are given to children's charities! Roger, the owner, said they started this place to "give back". His daughter took my order with the kindest of smiles. Couldn't be a nicer experience! KALA Coffeehouse is so definitely Highly Recommend :-) (Having now downed their cashew iced coffee and Dukkah spiced avocado seeded BOB toast, I couldn't agree more with my own recommendation! :-)) read more

My favorite spot to get good coffee, good fresh food and hang with great people. Coffee is fresh and sourced locally. Food is amazing and locally sourced. Waffle Wednesday for the win! Everyday you can get the signature sandwich which is more like a breakfast burger with local sausage, egg, and English muffins. Come and get some!!! read more

Kala Coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mason, Ohio

A secular humanist walks into a coffee shop behind a church. He has one of the best breakfast sandwiches he's ever had. If you're staying at Great Wolf Lodge or a Kings Island adjacent hotel, do yourself a favor and find a moment of zen among the French fries and screaming kids. The best part? This place supports local charities. It had been open 6 weeks when I visited and the owners said they've already cut a $1600 check to support a local children's charity. I don't care that we have different views on religion. This is good breakfast, good coffee, and they do good. It's not that far--5 minute drive from Great Wolf Lodge, and they'll pack your breakfast to go. Skip the buffet/Dunkin madness and start your day a little nicer. read more

Good coffee and food. Wonderful service and great ambience. Love going there to sit and read or talk with a friend.

Kala Coffeehouse is a must go. I recently moved from downtown Cincinnati to West Chester and had struggled to find an impressionable coffee shop. Kala is one that delivered not only great coffee, but also an inspirational space that you can spend half your day in. The staff is so welcoming and you can tell they love what they are selling. Order the breakfast sandwhich. It is sent from the heavens. read more

Planned sometime in Mason so this was the highest rated coffee house. Google maps had me almost miss the place. The service is slower than average but now a days u know. They got the order wrong but fixed it quickly. read more

Amazing flavor and smells! They are super friendly and make your drink to order. I like my Americano a little more watered down and that's how I got it!! Will be back! read more

Awesome find in Mason. I'm visiting from Maryland and found them on Yelp. I had a delicious iced-latte and their sausage breakfast sandwich. Really delicious, fresh, and all of their ingredients are locally sourced. The owners were delightful, and so welcoming. read more

The coffee was good but other than that it was not what I expected. First of all, it is a Christian owned and run establishment- physically connected to Axis church so bear that in mind when going. The music they were playing was loud Christian rock, so it was very difficult to focus on any work that I had to do. There was also no natural lighting as it is in a warehouse, and the lighting inside was not bright at all. I went on a sunny day in July and it might as well have been 6pm in December. Lastly, all of the chairs and seating are very uncomfortable to sit on. Will not be going back. read more

hands down the best breakfast sandwich in the area! good coffee, fun baristas, and a great space to work from home or study!

Average coffee but really good food! The breakfast sandwich is one of my FAVS I come here mostly for the food

Pulled up to the building and was like "hmm this looks like a sketchy warehouse...is there really coffee here?...Should I really follow the balloons?" But omg yes there's great coffee in there. Inside is so cute and aesthetic. Not only great coffee but also great toast. Highly recommend for a peaceful place for studying or work!!! read more

Truly the hidden gem of Mason. Everything about this place makes you feel good. Their motto sums it all up: a good cup, with good company, for a good cause. Oh AND Kala means good in greek! Does it get better? Whenever you walk into Kala, you are always greeted with a friendly smile and a warm hello as you enter. The staff takes time to help you pick out what you want to eat/drink (or both!). Jackie (one of the owners) has a passion for sourcing her shop exclusively with local products that are close to the source. She does NOT cut corners with her ingredients. The toasts are PHENOMENAL. I especially recommend the seasonal avocado toast (The Tuscan)- avo, tomatoes, basil/pesto drizzle. My mouth is honestly watering thinking about it. The drinks are also amazing. Roger (the other owner) is the latte king and has taken so much time to craft his drinks perfectly. I especially love the hot chocolate because he uses a homemade chocolate recipe and it is delicious. All of this set aside, I believe what makes this place so extraordinary is their impact on the community. The staff takes NO TIPS- all of the tips go to local non-profits that help children in the area. The owners have the biggest hearts and are so passionate about doing good. Truly two of the best people I have come in contact with. I don't want to tell their story- so please go in and hear about it, but know that you will come away inspired. :) read more

Came here with my boyfriend recently and it was a very cute coffeeshop! The girl who was working told me that they have the same coffee as Coffee Emporium so if you're a fan of their coffee, you will love this place. It is definitely hidden away, I wouldn't have known about it unless I searched for it, but it is definitely somewhere I will be going there again soon. read more

Kala Coffeehouse - Cappuccino on a window seat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mason, Ohio

The cutest place! Coming in from out of town and was visiting family in Mason, I popped into Kala after finding it on yelp to get some work done. So glad I did because the atmosphere and the owners were so incredibly kind! I mentioned that it was my first time in the shop and they were so friendly to get my name and explain exactly what the shop was about -- charity, and thats a cause I think we can all get behind! The set up is really cute and takes advantage of the space with a loft area upstairs as well as plenty downstairs. Lighting is great, music isn't too loud, and there are a good number of outlets. I saw an equal number of people there to work/study, for meetings, or coming in for a quick bite with friends/family. So glad I stopped by and made for a perfect and productive Saturday morning. read more

Lover their espresso they use. Also tried their homemade vanilla coffee peanut butter and it was great! Very friendly staff. Maybe a little hard to find, but it's worth it when you do! read more

I enjoyed the avocado toast and fruit smoothies. I'm not a coffee drinker, but others say it's wonderful!

My wife Marianne and I checked out this place Kala Coffeehouse today. They have very good coffee. A nice assortment of different types of foods and treats. Nicely decorated interior. They have a room you can reserve by the hour. And an upper level sitting area in the back. Very warm and friendly staff. All of the profits go to Mason kids charity too. read more

I love Kala! I've been looking for a good local coffee shop since moving here from Chicago, and Kala exceeded all of my expectations! The coffee and food is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is modern and cozy. The best part is that they're committed to doing good in the community which is clear by the wall dedicated to showing that off. read more

What a great coffee house! I couldn't believe how big it was once I got inside. Great setup! Wonderful people with a purpose other than enriching themselves. Awesome coffee and food! Try waffle Wednesday! It's out of sight from route 42 but a must see! read more
