The bianco is their white chocolate mocha and it came out pretty nice. The espresso was smooth and nice while the flavored syrup was just enough so it wasn't too sweet. The bagel was fresh and I asked them to toast it and add a spread of cream cheese. They toasted it perfectly, no crunchy bites but it still had a nice crisp exterior. Overall, this is a really nice place to sit and have a coffee. Plus the coffee is really good here!

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!

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!

Did I miss something?? This chain is growing momentum and after my experience I'm left unimpressed…read more The menu - jack of all trades, master of none. I drink coffee for two things - the taste and of course the caffeine. So trying to find something that isn't artificially flavored or sugar loaded wasn't easy. I landed on the oat milk cream cold brew. They were out of the foam, even better. However, it's odd when there's only two ingredients: coffee and oat milk, it barely tasted like coffee. And no caffeine boost whatsoever. So here's my take, if you are a beginner coffee drinker or want a coffee drink without a bunch of coffee this will be your jam. No judgement, I began my relationship with coffee with mocha frappuccinos and cappuccinos. If you are a coffee lover I'd look elsewhere.

While it can get a bit busier when the nearby church lets out, it still maintains a comfortable and laid-back vibe. It's one of our favorite spots to sit back, relax, and enjoy some quiet time together. We've also had the opportunity to try their wine, and it was a fantastic experience. It's great to have such a wonderful local business close to home, offering quality coffee and wine without the hassle of heavy traffic or large crowds. This place deserves more recognition than it gets. Although it's somewhat hidden, it's become one of our favorite places to visit, and we always look forward to coming back.
