Prospect was a coffee shop that'd come up from time to time amongst peers of mine but I hadn't…read moregotten a chance to come until now! It was in the morning on a Saturday when I came so there was a bit of a line but not too long. After about five minutes, I got a chance to order. I opted for an iced mocha. I would've liked to try one of the yummy looking croissants they had available from Pinyon but the people in front of me got the last one! After a couple of minutes, my order came out. Once I swirled everything together, I thought there was a good balance of everything! The syrup, the coffee, and the milk. It was a nice pick me up for the hot day ahead. Overall, Prospect was a very cute, welcoming coffee shop experience!

Was walking down the street towards a record store and passed by this place…read more What a cute and easy going vibe, no loud music respectful employees, clean tables, tons of places to sit and power plugs near almost every table. Unfortunately I was unable to locate the WiFi password and I didn't want to bother the two employees that appeared to be pouring coffee with love. I had an iced coffee cold brew with almond milk. A cold coffee in a glass cup makes such a difference in how cold the drink gets and the presentation. The latte was amazing! Perfect temperature. I went for the chocolate croissant, it was amazing! Little hint of salt sent it over the top. Just wish there was a warming option

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.

What a great first experience that we had here! We didn't know what we wanted but the worked at the…read moreregister was so patient and despite there being a few people in line behind us, she carefully and thoroughly gave us a brief summary of all the items on the menu. 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!

Also the drinks are delicious here & it's so nice inside. Thank you, Madden, for making my experiences such positive ones.

Good coffee shop to stop by and grab coffee on your way up to Santa Barbara from LA…read more A small hidden gem that has a few seats inside to work from and about two tables outside in case you want to bring your pup. I ordered my basic half-sweet vanilla latte and it was perfect. Not too sweet nor too much milk. The espresso had a nice, strong flavor as well. Will be back again next time we're driving through.

This cafe is sooo beautiful- I truly feel like I'm somewhere in Europe in a large open patisserie…read more It is typically super crowded her, so if you can find seating, count yourself lucky. 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. Served with a warmed goat cheese crostini. No mention of melons it had a few slivers of strawberries. Overall taste not very good. Had my mom try it too she was unimpressed. 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. The ledge by window was dirty! Just disappointing!

I tried the root beer on its own and discovered that was the problem. It was sweetened with stevia. The barista understood my issue and cheerfully made me a cold brew, which was delicious. I also enjoyed the Earl Grey scone from a selection of yummy looking baked goods.
