    I needed a quick bite to eat before my boxing class and since this was close enough to the gym, I figured I'd go ahead and check them out. I got there right at 10 and as I expected, it was pretty busy but with a minimal wait. When it was my turn to order, I went with the biscuit sandwich and added sausage (you can choose between that or bacon). I think I waited a risk of 5 minutes and I was on my way. When I opened the box, I was surprised to see there was egg on my sand which since it wasn't listed on the menu. The first few bites were ok but as I continued eating, something tasted off. I looked to see if maybe there was something else on the sandwich that I didn't notice before, when I saw that the egg and possibly the sausage had some weird spice that I didn't care for. After I recognized it, I just finished the biscuit and took everything else off. While the biscuit wasn't my jam, there's other things on the menu I'm wanting to try, so I imagine I'll be back soon.

    I first heard about this place shortly after they opened, but hadn't yet made it out here. Then they posted their holiday drink list, which included a Gingerbread Latte, so that was my cue to stop by. Inviting coffeeshop, looks like what you'd expect a neighborhood coffeeshop to look like, with seating both inside and out. The gingerbread latte, of course, was great. Parking in this area can be an adventure, so keep that in mind when you stop by. I just got the one drink, but they did also have some food options, sweet as well as savory if you want something to eat with your coffee.

    Cute little neighborhood coffee spot. Parking can be hard to come by right next to the building, but there are spots within a block. Delectable treats - I did not anticipate how much I really did need an Apple fritter in my life until there was one staring back at me from within the lonely display case. I took one home with me, managed to pry a section off to eat in the car, and was instantly rewarded for my purchase. (My gooey butter cake latte was no slouch, either.) Very friendly and encouraging baristas. I'll definitely swing by again when I'm in the neighborhood!

    Superb location on a little neighborhood corner with an astounding patio. A pastry case full of the essentials: donuts and fritters. The workers were great. It was not busy on a Saturday morning and they were happy to chat it up with me while I waited. Super nice folks. The latte was great. I have a select few spots I frequent a lot and this latte is good enough to be added to my list. It is smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood so i suspect a lot of families and couples will be in here for sunday morning treats, definitely a good spot I'm excited to explore more!

    We had such an amazing visit to Kentzo, today! As soon as we walked in (with our pup), we were welcomed so warmly! One of the owners immediately came around and said hello and then took our order. The barista that made our lattes made the cutest design with the milk foam, it was so cool! My son had a donut and it was huge! Our dog got a huge pup cup as well! They also have a spacious patio for nice weather days. We can't wait to be back!

    Kenzo is tucked away on a side street just two blocks from Maplewood Shuck's. The space is surprisingly spacious, with two cozy rooms and a large patio. Staff was friendly and helpful. I had the breakfast bowl with veggies. It was delicious and had a nice kick of spice. The coffee was excellent, too. It's a great spot to get some work done or relax.

    Cappuccino

    Kentzo just opened in July 2025 and this was my first time visiting. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They have a small breakfast menu as well as a variety of pastries. I got a cappuccino and avocado toast with bacon and both were perfect! I appreciate the large amount of avocado on my toast and the prices are very reasonable. The avocado toast does have chili flakes and chili oil so if you were not into a little bit of spice, I would get it without it. The building is very nice and they have a large, dog, friendly patio. And it's right next to a park.

    Stopped by on a Saturday morning, there was a solo musician singing on the patio. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, the smell of coffee filled the air & the large display of pastries was glowing. I opted for an americano and a turkey basil pesto sandwich. The coffee is roasty toasty and low acidity. Sando was served on quality bread which I appreciate & the pesto flavor was fantastic. Lots of happy people working. 10/10

    My latte. (Did you know that has espresso in it. )
    Laurie K.

    Let me start by saying that I loved my brother. Loved to hang out with him, listen to him... we were the best of friends. However, I would never have been able to work with him. Kentzo Koffee makes it work. Two brothers, both with seemingly great dispositions brew coffee and make food that rivals any other coffee (or rather Koffee) shop. The atmosphere is modern with clean lines. And yet not totally industrial, VERY welcoming. The staff is friendly and understanding. When I (coffee novice) was trying to figure out what drink to get after my dirty chai and was at the counter and was told that espresso goes in a latte. We all laughed. I didn't know and they were kind enough to tell me. But NOT in a mean way. (NOW they may have laughed at me when I left but I really don't care. To my face they were sweet.) I used to come here at a lot when it was Spiral Stone Coffee. That had a fun hippie vibe with lots of local art on the walls for sale. Now there are beautiful photos of Alaska taken on a bucket list trip before the brothers opened this place. One side for dining has a cute coffee shop feel. The other side has a darker, carpeted, comfy vibe. On a cold day I could easily see me sitting on the sofa watching snow fall drinking a latte (that has espresso.... hahaha) or my norm...a warm dirty Chai. Speaking of... the dirty Chai was perfect! One of the best I've ever had. Plus, I am not a fan of drinks that are super hot and I mentioned that and my drink came out looking pretty and had the right temp. My cousin had the avocado toast and said it was amazing. I forget to get a picture. I got an egg biscuit with sausage and cheese. It was super good. The biscuit was a little crumbly but a good breakfast sandwich nonetheless. There is an outdoor area with picnic tables and umbrellas. While it's not snowing there is also a heat warming until Tuesday so we sat inside enjoying a AC. Everybody working here was happy, friendly and understanding. It looks like they all live their job. When a place is like that you want to go back again soon. And I will. I just wish I had asked about the meaning of the name. I totally forgot when I was speaking to one of the brothers. Oh well next time. Again, there WILL be a next time.

    Cookie Butter latte

    I was excited to see another coffee shop open up in the old Stone Spiral. I ordered the iced caramel latte and a snickerdoodle cookie. The caramel tasted like it was made that morning, with a sight tawniness to it which I just loved! The snickerdoodle cookie was simply delecious! The perfect amount of crunchy, soft and tasty. What a treat! They have breakfast and lunch options and roast their own beans. Looking forward to trying other menu items! Also, milk options for all diets. Nice patio and sleek interior. Go check them out! So happy to have another neighborhood coffee joint.

    Kentzo Koffee is a welcome addition to the neighborhood surrounding Ryan Hummert Park. They are open at 7am which is great with indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee is good quality I had a honey latte. I hope they do some seasonal flavors throughout the year. My daughter had a yogurt parfait which was a good size portion and my other daughter had a freshly baked cinnamon roll. I'm hoping they open on weekends at some point. I felt that's when the previous coffee shops in that spot have really been busy while kids are playing at the park.

I was very excited that they sold their own coffee as I love grabbing beans when I visit a city. I opted for their sampler pack that has such sweet packaging; each looks like a mailed package, and the bundle is tied & wax stamped. Perfect for someone getting into junk journaling! I chose a latte with their panela syrup. Panela is an unrefined cane sugar, similar to brown sugar but with caramel notes as well. With the temperature drop on Sunday, it was the perfect comfort flavor, and I'd easily drink it throughout the cold months and then still come back for it in an iced coffee. The staff were very friendly and welcoming; the barista who took my order also gave me helpful tips on the different beans that came in my chosen bundle. The space is small and can get easily crowded, so if you're looking for a work spot it would be good to come secure a place early.

It's a peculiar layout in an old building with two opposing ordering stations and entrances. That is not a bad thing but it creates a messy, chaotic situation that should be addressed. Nobody knew where any line was going for either business. I had seven different interactions with different customers to clear up who was in line. Saying "We asked customers and they're gonna do what they're do" doesn't cut it. Figure something out. You could move the first tables back just a little and add well placed stanchions with a sign on top saying this line here, that line here. It shouldn't be the customers job to manage this. Second, I waited way, way too long for my coffee. Several groups of people behind me ordered and received complicated espresso drinks while I waited for one pour over. An entire rush of people passed between ordering my coffee and receiving it. Your pour-over machine is automated, very simple to use. The barista simply neglected to start my coffee when they were supposed to. Third, I received the wrong food. I ordered the loaded breakfast burrito but I got the bbq breakfast burrito. I know Clara B's is a separate business, but for the customer it's one experience. Here's the kicker, the food and the coffee were delicious. The ambiance is warm and inviting. I even bought coffee beans before I left. I've been looking forward to trying this place for awhile. There are so many you're doing well. I don't want to be sour grapes but I nearly walked out because execution was incredibly clumsy. You're so close to doing so much better, please figure it out. I want to keep coming here and other people do too.
