what a cutie little spot Makenna Koffee is! with a huge variety of drinks to choose from, there is surely something for everyone (coffee and non-coffee drinkers unite)! the staff are extremely friendly, explained the menu to us, and made great recommendations! i unfortunately only took a picture of my vanilla latte with protein powder. we also had a chocolate cream cold brew, the chili verde breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich with bacon, and a ham and cheese croissant! the food was 10/10; no notes!. the coffee however i wished was just a taaaad milky for my preference. i would've loved a stronger coffee flavor. i felt like it was super light -- even the cold brew. otherwise it was just lovely. the inside is decorated SO fun and cute; on brand with the hawaiian vibe. will absolutely be back the next time we're in the area!

Drinks were good, service was quick, and ambiance is nice with plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. Can't wait for the one in Gardena to open up!

Ok my first time trying Makenna Koffee and it was very good!! I tried the Cabo San Lucas iced with almond milk and half sweet. It was very tasty and the foam they put on top was very tasty!! Mmmmmmm... I also tried the chocolate muffin which was so 5/5!! So fresh and when you warm it up, it's even better. The service was good and since it was my first time, the lady who worked there was very informative on what to try. I also learned that they use Maui milk, which is a secret ingredient milk that they use for their milk. It's very nice inside giving beach vibes and very energetic!! It's very clean and spacious. It has many seats as well and merch to buy! Cool ambiance for sure to take a coffee break! They have many different types of drinks here! I am happy one is opening near me in Northridge!! Gotta try Makenna! -Marshay D.

Randomly found this coffee shop. We got the salty ex boyfriend. It was tasty! Menu was a bit overwhelming. Any suggestions for next time?

Makenna Koffee has quickly become one of my favorite cafes. I love Hawaii and I love everything that has the Hawaiia vibe, but not only was the atmosphere great, the coffe was delicious. I tried the Maui Latte, and I loved it!!! Very delicious. Delicious coffee will soothe your tired body after shopping. Recommended for those who like sweet coffee. I didn't try, but they had a Valentine's drink menu, so it seems they have seasonal special drinks. The service was friendly and nice. Why not give it a try when you go shopping at the outlet mall in Camarillo?

So on the way back from Carpinteria needed a pick me up for the drive back to LA. As always Yelp for the win! Makenna Koffee was great. I ordered the Cabo San Lucas. It had the perfect mix of coffee. It wasn't to overbearing. Perfect coffee and sweetness. My nephew ordered the Chocolate Chipping chip freeze that was yummy as well. It was freshening and not overbearing on the chocolate. The cashier was very nice and sweet. It's a nice chill location. Place was packed. People coming and going constantly. So many options the menu can be a little much. I'll definitely take a drive back to try some other options. Great job

While eating at Latitude restaurant this coffee place was next door. I wanted a dessert so I went there after eating, and decided to try it out. I had the special recipe vanilla latte with a chocolate muffin. The latte was so creamy and tasty, with a smoothness, and the muffin was soft and very flavorful. Service was good and the place is cute with a trendy atmosphere. It has beautiful blue colors. Parking was easy in front of the location.

This place is the Cheesecake Factory of Coffee Shops. Not too long ago I tried the Ventura location and was happy with the experience although I didn't care for my drink. So when I saw they opened a location near my home I wanted to try a different drink. Upon arrival it was very busy but surprisingly clean. No empty coffee cups just sitting around or trash on the floor. You can even watch them make the coffees and that area looked nearly spotless. The counter person was very nice and attentive even greeting us with a smile. This time I ordered the Haylee and was very happy with the taste. My only issue was the wait time for the coffee. It took a very long time for our order. If they can dial in on their methods of order preparation this place could be my new go-to coffee place.

I love this place so much but every time I come here it's my 5/6th time at Camarillo location they always get my order wrong Today I bought a chocolate croissant and by the time they made my order they told me they sold out when they we're making other people's orders and when it came time to give me my croissant, of course they had ran out so I just got a refund. I love to see Valley location. My order is always correct. They're always on point. I think Camarillo has some work to do as far as customer service I get that it's a young staff, but also the attitude doesn't help but overall very good quality product products.

I have had this on my Yelp bookmark list of "must-try" for a while. Camarillo is a good 20 minute drive from me so it's not exactly a convenient location from me. But I had to go to Camarillo this morning for an errand and took advantage of this trip to stop by. Let me start with the pros: the vibe is welcoming, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Yes, this is definitely a young-coffee spot. I did see a few older people sitting down inside but I also saw a lot of 20-30 something picking up their mobile orders. The decor is very modern with a strong travel or vacation vibe. The pastry display looked amazing. The coffee cakes are about 4 inches in diameter and I love they offer some gluten-free options. You don't see that at most coffee shops. The drink menu is pretty extensive and if you look at the barista counters you see the shelves filled with lots of Toriani flavored syrups. Their Christmas menu is one of the most extensive ones I have seen. Now the con and the main reason I had to give it a 3 star. I ordered a hot caramel chai with a shot of espresso. "Hot" and my coffee cannot be associated. My coffee was lukewarm. I was so sad when I took my first sip and realized it couldn't have been more than 100°F. I didn't want to be "that" customer and go back in and complain that it was not hot. I don't know if the barista just didn't realize that she didn't steam the milk long enough or if they use a chai concentrate that is refrigerated and that was not warmed enough or what. But it's really upsetting to pay $7.25 for a lukewarm coffee plus I had tipped $1 which I now deeply regret as the barista that made my drink did not deserve a tip for this. I had to wait until I got home and nuke it in the microwave to make it drinkable. Update: I had paid through Square and received the text about my order. I was able to rate how the service as on it and insert a comment. The owner messaged me back and apologized and refunded me. I think they take their customer complaints seriously and that shows me that they care. So I have changed from a 3 to a 5 stars.

My husband and I were doing a quick drive through of the outlets and he def needed coffee. He said Makenna came up a few times when he was researching earlier this morning. It's super clean, organized, and cute. Walking in, it gave a combo of California and Hawaii vibes - that fun, chill, laid back feeling. The guy who took our order was attentive and answered questions we had and also asked questions to make sure we got what we wanted. When my husband asked about the Maui milk (their special blend of sweetened dairy milk) he noted that it's dairy based since we were ordering oat milk with our coffees. My husband said YOLO and went for it. He's alive and well if you were concerned lol We both ordered their holiday specials: cookie butter and the peppermint snowball (I'm on a white chocolate peppermint kick). Their lattes are delicious! The only thing is that I wished it had a little more coffee (it's super light with the coffee flavor). They have an extensive menu so take your time because they have several screens of options. Also, there was a girl working who was calling out orders and she noticed my husband standing there (not for very long) and sweetly checked in with him about our order and she gave us a status update. They're great. If we're in the area, we'll be back!

This place has some good reviews and their menu was extensive that I was curious to check it out. I also ran out of coffee and it was a chance to buy a coffee drink! I got the Taylor which has toasted marshmallow and white chocolate flavor. It was pretty good. Sweet so definitely a treat type of coffee. Their turkey breakfast sandwich and croissant were also good! Buttery croissant warmed up was a hit. Love the vibe. A little loud but just like a Starbucks would be. But really cute and casual vibe. Good for a date or coffee meet up. The only reason I have less than 5 stars is because I was a little disappointed with the service. All are young staff which is not bad. In fact, good for them for working and learning. It seems the cashier was just starting there. When I got my order I specifically asked sandwich and the croissant? I did because my name was totally wrong so wanted to sure and one of the packages didn't look like it was a croissant. He pointed to both and named it as my ordered items. When I took it back they were two breakfast sandwiches. When I went back to tell them, they insisted it was my order. I opened one package in front of them and the girl training goes "and the other one is the croissant". I opened it in front of her and in fact it was not. There wasn't an apology. Just looking at each other trying to figure out what happened. It's not the mistake or learning curve that bothered me. But, I felt some disbelief from her when I said I did not get my ordered items. Hoping this is a moment for learning customer service.

~ ISLAND VIBES, MAKENNA KOFFEE IS THAT FUN GO-TO SPOT ~ Makenna Koffee has a cute, clean, and laid-back vibe, think California-Hawaii meets casual coffee shop. It's perfect for a quick coffee stop, a casual date, or a little break while shopping. The modern island decor and open, airy feel definitely give it character. Drinks are WAY sweet, treat-style lattes, but the coffee flavor can feel light and underwhelming. Chocolate-based drinks, like mochas, leaned a bit artificial to me, and the caramel crunch chai was overly syrupy. I also tried a matcha-like drink, and unfortunately couldn't finish it. If you're just after a sweet pick-me-up, it'll do the job, but coffee purists may be disappointed. Food is pretty solid, breakfast sandwiches and buttery croissants are definitely good, and they don't skimp on portions. Service is generally friendly, though there were some hiccups with order accuracy, likely due to new or training staff. Overall, Makenna Koffee is cute, fun, and has a friendly atmosphere, but the coffee itself didn't quite live up to the hype. A solid 3/5.
