On a recent business trip, I stopped by The Kraken to grab a coffee for my wife and something…read moredifferent for myself. The building is fantastic. It's incredibly inviting, with a fun theme and a beautiful mix of mid-century leather furniture and warm wood accents that make you want to hang out for a while. The young lady who helped me was an absolute 10 out of 10. My wife enjoys a very specific type of iced coffee, and I always get tongue-tied trying to explain it because not every coffee shop can recreate what she's looking for. She listened, understood exactly what I meant, and absolutely nailed it. She was genuinely friendly, patient, and a pleasure to deal with. She also talked me into ordering some sort of creamy orange, dirty coconut concoction that I'm fairly certain I could never successfully order again...but whatever it was, it was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. As a general rule, I don't tip at places where you order at the counter. I've always felt tipping is reserved for servers who are taking care of you at a table. But exceptional service deserves to be recognized, and the friendliness, knowledge, and genuine hospitality I received earned them a well-deserved 20% tip. If you're looking for great coffee, a unique atmosphere, and people who truly enjoy what they do, The Kraken is well worth the stop. To those about to nosh, I salute you!

I…read morestarted with a cortado and would have stayed longer except that their wifi was too slow for me to work from here. So after the coffee was done, I headed up the street. If you're just looking for coffee and pastries, this is a great little spot. If you're looking to hang out for an hour or two and enjoy some caffeine while surfing the internet, this might not be it.

I've been there before and had a breakfast sandwich made of a donut. Literally a sandwich to of art. Today they urged me to get the s'mores donut. I believe the owner (?) was trying to encourage me to get a Philly cheesesteak pastry and I may have, except I had more of a sweet tooth today. Whatever breakfast cravings you have, I'm pretty sure this place has you covered.

Best coffee shop in the area and well worth the drive if you aren't local. Even from Virginia…read moreBeach, the coffee was worth every mile and minute of driving there. I got the Salty Siren and it was perfect. I would love to try something different next time, but would definitely be tempted to get this again. They have a good variety of breakfast snacks - bagels and some pastries but not necessarily the place to go if you're looking for a substantial meal. This would also be a great space to work for a bit or meet a friend for coffee and chatting - good amount of seating that is comfortable. Baristas were welcoming and great! Will be back.
