    Pistachio cold brew
    Denise B.

    I went to visit my parents and on my way home I decided to visit Makenna Koffee. They are located in a busy little strip mall off Tustin Street. The parking lot was busy, i went in the middle of the afternoon. Since it was my first time trying their drinks, I opted to go inside and look at their menu. I was greeted right away and the employee was very helpful, I asked her opinion on two different drinks. I ended up getting the Pistachio Cold Brew. My drink was good, and I was happy with the flavor. Ambiance 4/5 Service 5/5 Drink 4.5/5

    Irish cream cold brew & maui latte

    Got the Maui latte and Irish cream cold brew and they were both delicious! Definitely on the sweeter side, like if you wanted a dessert coffee drink. The maui latte was sweet, slightly nutty, and the perfect amount of creaminess. The cream on the Irish cream cold brew was divine! It tastes like vanilla marshmallow fluff, and the coffee had a nice fruitiness to it!

    Have been wanted to try their coffee since they opened a few months ago, but the drive thru line was always too long, until today! Their menu is expansive with cold brew, espresso, coffee, smoothies and more. Ordered The Legend iced -- it was cold, flavorful, with lots of caramel drizzle. The staff was very friendly and helpful with my selection -- will definitely be back to try one of the other menu items.

    Love the vibe and the many choices!! Lots of workers there to help make ordering a seamless experience. My first time here and I was recommended the first 5 lattes on the supreme section of the menu. I ordered the Cabo San Lucas which is surprisingly the perfect balance of sweet and cinnamon coffee. Also whatever heavy cream they used on top, is seriously amazing!!

    If you like your coffee drinks sweet and not taste like coffee, this is the spot for you. Similar to Dutch Bros or Better Buzz. Not my cup of coffee since I prefer to taste the coffee or espresso in my drink. Not a Hawaiian owned coffee shop, but Hawaiian themed which means Hawaiian themed drink names and beachy vibes? I never did find out if they used Hawaiian/Kona coffee or what exactly was their "Maui Milk". Service was friendly and wait time was longer than expected, but they were busy both inside and the drive thru. They have a parking lot and you might want to consider parking a little further in the lot or you might get stuck if the drive thru line gets long, which it does!

    VERY SWEET COFFEE - very similar style to Dutch Bros. If I came back, I'd definitely do 1/2 sweet and I'm typically someone who already likes their coffee sweet and I already had an extra espresso shot added to my drink! I got the NORTH SHORE iced latte with a 3rd shot (they offer the 3rd shot for free - which is nice)! The drink was still yummy end enjoyable just way too sweet for my liking. I also ordered an ALMOND CROISSANT which was delicious, flaky, and a good sized serving. NO INDOOR BATHROOMS. But there is a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating at this location as well as a SMALL DRIVE THRU. They do have a LOYALTY program here which is nice to earn points towards eventually redeeming a free drink. Overall a great experience but I'd still rate 4 out of 5 stars because there's no restroom and because of the drink quality. Something to also note: this is a high volume location on the weekends.

    We bought caramel cold brew, sandy blonde, and strawberry smoothie. I came in and placed the order on the counter. Less than 10 minutes of waiting and the drinks were ready to go. I forgot to take pictures of the drinks but I did take a picture of the inside counter. It's well-lit inside, plenty of seats, and they have merchs available for purchase. The place has a very casual and laid back vibe! The drinks were great! Coffee was refreshing and a nice pick me up for the afternoon.

    Makenna Koffee *April 11th, 2026 *9am- Saturday *4 Stars Environment: *Aesthetic *Drive Thru and Dine In *Smaller than Appears Online Food/Drink: *Nutty Irishman (Almond Milk) *The Ben (1/2 Sweet) *Maui Latte (1/ Sweet) I had been wanting to try Makenna Koffee for a while, so I was excited to finally stop by. The shop has a cute ocean and beach theme throughout, which gives it a fun atmosphere. The space was smaller than it looked online, and it seemed like most people preferred using the drive-thru over ordering inside. Even with several baristas working, the wait was a little longer than expected and took close to 20 minutes for our drinks. Overall, it was a good first visit although the drinks were slightly sweeter than I would have liked.

    Such a great find. This Hawaiian owned coffee spot definitely stands out. The drinks are delicious, smooth, flavorful, and made just right every time. You can really taste the quality in every sip. One of the best parts is they offer XL sizes, which is perfect when you need that extra boost or just want to enjoy your drink a little longer. The vibe is welcoming and laid back, making it an easy go-to spot. If you're a coffee lover, this place is definitely worth checking out

    I really love latte with macadamia milk and although this is my first time trying at this place, I tried their signature, which is Maui latte and Maui milk is their signature milk even though I'm not sure if it's using macadamia milk or not but let's pretend it is. I think the sweetness is OK. It could be a little less sweet. Maybe next time I would ask for a less sweet like 75% but other than that it's perfect. I can't wait to come back to try their other drinks because they have a pretty big menu for a coffee shop. Hopefully, they will expand their food menus because I love Hawaiian pastries too. All the stuff who worked there are very friendly and smiley. They have a pretty cool set up inside and they offer drive thru too!

    Makenna Koffee is a great addition it OC! This coffee shop is so cute inside, has a quick drive thru, and the sweetest baristas. It is super similar to Dutch Bros in my opinion, as they have coffee, blended drinks, energy drinks, teas, and more. On this trip I tried their banana chocolate macadamia nut latte with Maui milk (basically a creamer that tastes like vanilla ice cream). I found that drinks here are pretty sweet so if that is what you are in the mood for, I definitely recommend!

    I had seen a viral video of this place from when it first opened. I bookmarked the location and was excited to come try it when I'm in the area. If you don't want to read more of my review, this place is basically a Hawaiian Dutch Bros. If that place is your cup of tea, you'd like it here. I mean, I understand the hype: cute interior, cute drink names, cute logos and designs, and a nicely lit interior. If I had to choose between Starbucks, Dutch Bros, and this place, I'd come here. If I could choose a coffee shop with real brews, I would go there and wouldn't come here. The coffee is subpar and full of milk and sugar like the other reviews have said. I couldn't taste any coffee beans. I had ordered the Cabo San Lucas after being recommended it. I'd love it if I wasn't a coffee fanatic. I'm really disappointed with how much sugar and syrups were put into it. My fiancé got the shaken espresso and even he was off out by it. We also tried their sausage burrito, which was not worth it. The service is also okay. I liked the cashier the most, but the workers here don't smile at you even when you excuse yourself for being in their way. Again, I'd rather get coffee elsewhere or brew my own coffee at home with my Breville.

    If you're looking for good coffee, this isn't it. If you like your syrup with a splash of coffee, this is the place for you. I'm not much of a sweet latte/coffee person. This is the Hawaiian version of Dutch bros. They have a variety of drinks and flavors that it is a bit overwhelming. Service was great and fast. The bar was filled with plenty of baristas so it pretty efficient. They have some food options like a breakfast burrito as well but small portioned. There isn't a lot of seating inside and there is some seating outside with umbrellas. However I came on a windy day so there was limited seating inside. I'd say personally this isn't a place I'd come back to for coffee, but isn't a bad place for a coffee fix.

The size of the drinks were generous too; definitely will be back to try some other flavors and cram for some future exams.

I'm not sure, but he is really nice and helpful and helped me pick my first thing to try when I came in. I ordered the Phoenix oolong with boba; a deliciously roasty iced drink with perfect boba! Admittedly, on my 2nd visit, I got it adjusted to 75% sweetness and did not love it as much but that is all on me. This one is best as it comes, full sweetness! I need to try other drinks but I really like the Phoenix Oolong. It's like a classic milk tea but better. Give it a try!
