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!

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!

The acai bowl is huge, so it can definitely be shared. It also had a lot more fruits inside than actual acai, which i would've liked better :p The kale smoothie was alright, I wish I had tasted more of the kale. The service was also great.

I'm voting best coffee shop 2026! This place is INCREDIBLE. First of all, it's in a house- so cool…read more So many seating options both indoor and outdoor. Great details in the decor. The menu offers things you have never even heard of! The drinks are absolutely STUNNING. I'm shocked by the way this place levels up all the other coffee shops out there. Lots of people in and out of here on a Monday. Long queue of drinks but it didn't take too long. We enjoyed the Burnout. Next level. Absolutely delicious.

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!

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.

The service is always friendly, and it's such a great little hidden gem in the heart of downtown. I'm not a huge fan of most chain coffee shops because they're usually too sweet, and Palm & Boy gets it just right. If you like sweeter drinks, just ask them to add a little more sweetness so you're not disappointed!

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 needed my morning caffeine fix, so I ordered my usual hot cappuccino and it never disappoint! The coffee was rich, smooth, and had a nice, balanced flavor.. not too bitter and not too bland.

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!

Ambiance: The decor is a nice nice European coffee shop has tile wood, along with little cafe tables and chairs. I like the location. It's right off the freeway if you're coming from somewhere else. It's not on a busy street and if you want you can take a nice urban hike a walk around the area, then give yourself a treat at Butter and Fold!
