So cute in there and the staff was amazing! Anilee (I hope I spelt that correctly) was awesome! Can't wait to go back :)

I found this gem of a coffee shop by chance when I was visiting my Doctor, and I'm so glad I did! Their coffee based Blended drinks are the best I've ever tasted.... Especially their PB no J chiller) Their service is above and beyond with everybody who works there, smiling, and always treating the customers with a smile and a good attitude. I definitely recommend this to ALL coffee lovers!! read more

Very disappointing experience at Makenna Koffee Company. The customer service was rude and unwelcoming, which immediately made the visit unpleasant. On top of that, there was no restroom available for customers, which is surprising for a coffee shop where people may want to sit and spend some time. Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't make up for the experience either. The quality was underwhelming and not worth the price. Between the poor customer service, lack of a restroom, and disappointing food and drinks, I would not recommend this place. read more

Of course, SIZE MATTERS. Nobody wants a small cup of coffee in the morning. For as long as I can remember, I have been a coffee shop kind of person and bequeathed as a coffee connoisseur by Yelp not that it matters really. Lol. :D Without further ado, let's begin this fantastic review. Makenna Koffee (est 2019) at Orange, offering beach and Hawaiian-themed coffee shops. It is located in a shopping plaza on N. Tustin Street. They offer a breadth of coffee (hot/cold) items, teas, specialty energy drinks, blended chillers, smoothies and sodas. Similarly, they sell some pastries and merch. I arrived early morning was perfunctorily greeted by a young female staff. It was my first time visit to this coffee shop, and its interior is visually stimulating with a relaxing Hawaiian vibe. Moreover, the background pop-music playlist gave an upbeat atmosphere which makes drinking more enjoyable. I ordered one of their popular hot drinks called Hawaiian Honey Hot Coffee, a caramel, coconut latte with honey drizzle. And it was brewed perfectly that my coffee neuronal receptors craved for more. Prices were fair given the quality of their drinks. Staff were competent and assiduous. Interior decor was aesthetically pleasing as well as the outdoor seats. Overall, I really enjoyed my morning Hawaiian coffee at MK. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend them. Ciao! read more

Love the variety of the menu items and flavors offered. I greatly appreciate the online ordering option. I ordered a cherry almond latte with coconut milk and it was a delicious blend of flavors. I look forward to trying other items. The inside of the store reminds me of hawa'ii as it has tropical decor and it's cozy. I wouldn't mind coming back to study here! read more

Their menu has a huge selection of drinks, so there's something for everyone. If you're having a hard time deciding, the staff is always friendly, patient, and happy to help you find something you'll enjoy. This place is consistently busy, so the drive-thru and online ordering options are incredibly convenient. If you have time to stay, there's also a nice outdoor patio where you can relax and enjoy your drink. My friend and I tried the Maui Latte, and we both really enjoyed it. It was creamy, smooth, and definitely on the sweeter side, making it a great choice if you like sweeter coffee drinks. My boyfriend enjoyed his Starburst Red Bull as well with the red bull taste not being too strong. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. With the extensive menu, friendly service, and great coffee, it's well worth a visit! read more

Been wanting to try McKenna Koffee for some time now, and im so happy today was the day! Quick trip through the drive thru. Very friendly staff. Took order quickly and efficiency. Music was playing outside, art work and fun quotes on the menu/building made you feel kinda like you were on a little vacation. Coffee was so flavorful! We got the Maui Latte with cold foam and Cabo San Lucas latte both iced. You can taste the quality. We will be back, would love to dine in next time for the full experience and try some treats! read more

First timer! Easy parking and drive thru. Really cute coffee shop with cozy seating inside and also covered patio seating. The ladies working were really sweet and took great care of us. Our fav was the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cold Brew - absolutely DELICIOUS and very strong. We had a great experience here! read more

Really great coffee, conveniently with a drive-thru! I love how many options you have on the menu. This is definitely catering to coffee-lovers with a sweeter palette. The coffee isn't as bitter and is definitely smoother, but masked heavily by the syrups and flavor add-ins. Not sure if you'd like all the options if you don't like sweet, weaker coffee though. The inside is super clean and works are friendly! Definitely gonna return if I want a sweet coffee/something convenient. Good amount of seating and plugs available inside. read more

I went to visit my parents and on my way home I decided to visit Makenna Koffee. They are located in a busy little strip mall off Tustin Street. The parking lot was busy, i went in the middle of the afternoon. Since it was my first time trying their drinks, I opted to go inside and look at their menu. I was greeted right away and the employee was very helpful, I asked her opinion on two different drinks. I ended up getting the Pistachio Cold Brew. My drink was good, and I was happy with the flavor. Ambiance 4/5 Service 5/5 Drink 4.5/5 read more

Have been wanted to try their coffee since they opened a few months ago, but the drive thru line was always too long, until today! Their menu is expansive with cold brew, espresso, coffee, smoothies and more. Ordered The Legend iced -- it was cold, flavorful, with lots of caramel drizzle. The staff was very friendly and helpful with my selection -- will definitely be back to try one of the other menu items. read more

If you like your coffee drinks sweet and not taste like coffee, this is the spot for you. Similar to Dutch Bros or Better Buzz. Not my cup of coffee since I prefer to taste the coffee or espresso in my drink. Not a Hawaiian owned coffee shop, but Hawaiian themed which means Hawaiian themed drink names and beachy vibes? I never did find out if they used Hawaiian/Kona coffee or what exactly was their "Maui Milk". Service was friendly and wait time was longer than expected, but they were busy both inside and the drive thru. They have a parking lot and you might want to consider parking a little further in the lot or you might get stuck if the drive thru line gets long, which it does! read more

VERY SWEET COFFEE - very similar style to Dutch Bros. If I came back, I'd definitely do 1/2 sweet and I'm typically someone who already likes their coffee sweet and I already had an extra espresso shot added to my drink! I got the NORTH SHORE iced latte with a 3rd shot (they offer the 3rd shot for free - which is nice)! The drink was still yummy end enjoyable just way too sweet for my liking. I also ordered an ALMOND CROISSANT which was delicious, flaky, and a good sized serving. NO INDOOR BATHROOMS. But there is a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating at this location as well as a SMALL DRIVE THRU. They do have a LOYALTY program here which is nice to earn points towards eventually redeeming a free drink. Overall a great experience but I'd still rate 4 out of 5 stars because there's no restroom and because of the drink quality. Something to also note: this is a high volume location on the weekends. read more

Love the vibe and the many choices!! Lots of workers there to help make ordering a seamless experience. My first time here and I was recommended the first 5 lattes on the supreme section of the menu. I ordered the Cabo San Lucas which is surprisingly the perfect balance of sweet and cinnamon coffee. Also whatever heavy cream they used on top, is seriously amazing!! read more

Makenna Koffee *April 11th, 2026 *9am- Saturday *4 Stars Environment: *Aesthetic *Drive Thru and Dine In *Smaller than Appears Online Food/Drink: *Nutty Irishman (Almond Milk) *The Ben (1/2 Sweet) *Maui Latte (1/ Sweet) I had been wanting to try Makenna Koffee for a while, so I was excited to finally stop by. The shop has a cute ocean and beach theme throughout, which gives it a fun atmosphere. The space was smaller than it looked online, and it seemed like most people preferred using the drive-thru over ordering inside. Even with several baristas working, the wait was a little longer than expected and took close to 20 minutes for our drinks. Overall, it was a good first visit although the drinks were slightly sweeter than I would have liked. read more

Got the Maui latte and Irish cream cold brew and they were both delicious! Definitely on the sweeter side, like if you wanted a dessert coffee drink. The maui latte was sweet, slightly nutty, and the perfect amount of creaminess. The cream on the Irish cream cold brew was divine! It tastes like vanilla marshmallow fluff, and the coffee had a nice fruitiness to it! read more

Such a great find. This Hawaiian owned coffee spot definitely stands out. The drinks are delicious, smooth, flavorful, and made just right every time. You can really taste the quality in every sip. One of the best parts is they offer XL sizes, which is perfect when you need that extra boost or just want to enjoy your drink a little longer. The vibe is welcoming and laid back, making it an easy go-to spot. If you're a coffee lover, this place is definitely worth checking out read more

Makenna Koffee - Matcha lavender and butter beer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

I really love latte with macadamia milk and although this is my first time trying at this place, I tried their signature, which is Maui latte and Maui milk is their signature milk even though I'm not sure if it's using macadamia milk or not but let's pretend it is. I think the sweetness is OK. It could be a little less sweet. Maybe next time I would ask for a less sweet like 75% but other than that it's perfect. I can't wait to come back to try their other drinks because they have a pretty big menu for a coffee shop. Hopefully, they will expand their food menus because I love Hawaiian pastries too. All the stuff who worked there are very friendly and smiley. They have a pretty cool set up inside and they offer drive thru too! read more

Makenna Koffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

I had seen a viral video of this place from when it first opened. I bookmarked the location and was excited to come try it when I'm in the area. If you don't want to read more of my review, this place is basically a Hawaiian Dutch Bros. If that place is your cup of tea, you'd like it here. I mean, I understand the hype: cute interior, cute drink names, cute logos and designs, and a nicely lit interior. If I had to choose between Starbucks, Dutch Bros, and this place, I'd come here. If I could choose a coffee shop with real brews, I would go there and wouldn't come here. The coffee is subpar and full of milk and sugar like the other reviews have said. I couldn't taste any coffee beans. I had ordered the Cabo San Lucas after being recommended it. I'd love it if I wasn't a coffee fanatic. I'm really disappointed with how much sugar and syrups were put into it. My fiancé got the shaken espresso and even he was off out by it. We also tried their sausage burrito, which was not worth it. The service is also okay. I liked the cashier the most, but the workers here don't smile at you even when you excuse yourself for being in their way. Again, I'd rather get coffee elsewhere or brew my own coffee at home with my Breville. read more

Love the drinks and the atmosphere. The business seems to have employed half of the students from VPHS. At any given time there are roughly 15 kids behind the counter and they are pumping out drinks extremely fast while being extremely friendly. Very pet friendly too. read more

Makenna Koffee - Peanut butter puppacino for Cosmo. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

I made the mistake of trying Makenna Koffee's shaken espresso one time. Now my mornings don't start until I've convinced myself I "accidentally" drove past the shop. I've memorized the route, the parking situation, and somehow my car keeps finding its way there without my permission. At this point, the baristas probably see me pulling in and start making my drink before I even open the door. If I skip a day, I spend the next 24 hours wondering if this is what heartbreak feels like. The shaken espresso is dangerously good--smooth, perfectly balanced, and somehow disappears faster than my paycheck. I keep telling myself, "Today's the last one for a while," which has become my favorite joke. Five stars. I came for a coffee, and somehow ended up in a long-term relationship with a shaken espresso. read more

If you're looking for good coffee, this isn't it. If you like your syrup with a splash of coffee, this is the place for you. I'm not much of a sweet latte/coffee person. This is the Hawaiian version of Dutch bros. They have a variety of drinks and flavors that it is a bit overwhelming. Service was great and fast. The bar was filled with plenty of baristas so it pretty efficient. They have some food options like a breakfast burrito as well but small portioned. There isn't a lot of seating inside and there is some seating outside with umbrellas. However I came on a windy day so there was limited seating inside. I'd say personally this isn't a place I'd come back to for coffee, but isn't a bad place for a coffee fix. read more

We bought caramel cold brew, sandy blonde, and strawberry smoothie. I came in and placed the order on the counter. Less than 10 minutes of waiting and the drinks were ready to go. I forgot to take pictures of the drinks but I did take a picture of the inside counter. It's well-lit inside, plenty of seats, and they have merchs available for purchase. The place has a very casual and laid back vibe! The drinks were great! Coffee was refreshing and a nice pick me up for the afternoon. read more

Staff was very friendly and coffee was tasty! I got the blended Maui Chiller with caramel. On the sweeter side but I personally like sweet. They have a list of their top sellers incase you have trouble deciding. The vibe is super chill, and spacious, plenty of seats and some booths/couches. They also have outside seating which is quite nice incase it gets busy. It was my first time here but I'll definitely come back to try more drinks. read more

Aloha... more like *Alo-HAUL myself in here.* Their online ordering has been on permanent island time for at least a week. Every attempt ends with either "item not available" or "online ordering not available." No worries, I thought--I'll just call. Nope. They don't take phone orders either. Mahalo for the extra adventure. So I paddled my way over, waited in line, and finally got my coffee. But just when I thought I was riding the wave of success, that hula girl door handle decided to perform a surprise hula on my hip. A week later, I'm still sporting a deep purple bruise that looks like a Hawaiian sunset. I came in for coffee and left with a free luau souvenir. I guess the coffee was good, but between the online ordering wipeout and getting body-checked by island décor, this experience definitely wasn't paradise. I think I'll be saying *aloha*... as in, goodbye. read more

There's nice seating inside to hang out, but no bathrooms for customers? The desserts and pastries are not on display, so you can't see what you want to order. They don't sell any cookies or brownies at all. The store is new and clean and cute, but not planning on returning. read more

Makenna Koffee is a great addition it OC! This coffee shop is so cute inside, has a quick drive thru, and the sweetest baristas. It is super similar to Dutch Bros in my opinion, as they have coffee, blended drinks, energy drinks, teas, and more. On this trip I tried their banana chocolate macadamia nut latte with Maui milk (basically a creamer that tastes like vanilla ice cream). I found that drinks here are pretty sweet so if that is what you are in the mood for, I definitely recommend! read more

Makena Coffee has quickly become my new favorite coffee spot--and my coworkers' too! I recently moved to the area and kept driving by, so I finally decided to stop in and grab drinks for everyone at work. Needless to say, we're all obsessed. I ordered the Cabo San Lucas, and it was delicious. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor and less sweetness, I'd recommend adding an extra espresso shot since their drinks tend to be on the lighter side. The quality, flavors, and vibes of the shop and overall experience were great. Looking forward to trying more of their menu! read more

Visited Makenna Koffee once the inside opened as it seems like a lot of people have been anticipating this. Prepare to be a bit overwhelmed as they have a ton of menu offerings and customizable options. The staff was super friendly and nice as they took and delivered orders. I had a basic iced soy latte with honey cause I wasn't trying to sugar load. After a couple sips felt the espresso was extremely dominating so I asked for a short drizzle of Maui milk on top. They made the addition no problem and it made all the difference. Was super happy with my drink which was espresso forward with a slightly creamy consistency. Overall fun spot and I can see how people like this joint. read more

Let's just say I am glad I live in Irvine because if I lived closer, I would be here all the time. I got a vanilla/caramel latte and it was perfect not too sweet and very smooth and not acidic. Will be back when I am anywhere. Lose to this area. Plus the girl up front was super friendly and was the one who recommended the drink based upon what I told her I liked to drink. Do yourself a favor and swing by this place as you won't be disappointed. read more

What a grand opening-- this place is consistently busy! Glad they've figured out the drive thru traffic. Things to note: the hours listed say open at 10a but signage on the door says 7a-3p. Also, their main area is still closed. Hoping it opens soon! So keep an eye out for time changes etc. Now the coffee-- I have a very coffee forward preference but was not mad at Makenna's delightful dessert coffee as the Maui with cold foam was exceptional! I probably will add a shot or two next time but can't wait to try more of their flavors. Everyone was super friendly-- though it did feel like they could have another employee or two to help move things along-- but everyone was hustling. read more

Just opened near my job and already a favorite. Tried the Maui Latte from Makenna Koffee Company and it was amazing--smooth, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet.

Definitely will be back. read more

Amazing coffee and even better service! Finally got to swing by the new location in Orange and I was not disappointed. The location is a good size with both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor and setup make it a place you want to spend some time relaxing in. The workers were so incredibly nice, from the warm hello as soon as you walk in to the sincere thank you and well wishes given as they handed off my drinks, every person you interact with has such a positive energy and it makes a huge difference. I ordered a Cabo San Lucas and it was really tasty, not overly sweet but lovely flavor, it doesn't have a strong coffee taste so if you like your drinks strong I recommend adding a shot. I'm so glad this location opened up and I'll be back soon to try more offerings! read more

Okay, I need to update my review. I have since been back twice. Both times I asked for light ice. Apparently this is a foreign concept to this place as both times it was not understood. Today, I went through their drive through. I ordered a Ben latte with light ice, 16 ounce. The girl taking my order asked if I wanted 50% ice or a quarter. I stated 50%. She then repeated my order and confirmed it was 50% ice. When I arrived at the window, i watched as they put in an extra scoop of ice to overflowing. What? I let them know and they dumped out some ice and just filled it with more milk. Then they said sorry, the girl taking the order never mentioned about the ice. This, unfortunately, has happened twice. Apparently light ice is a difficult concept. The ability to make my drink (especially for the price), not just a cup of ice, is not worth it to me. I will go elsewhere. read more

You know a shop is poppin when cars line up around the parking lot and from the street like an In & Out. This place has been busy since it opened and I thought it would take me months to finally get to try it. My husband surprised me by getting one before work yesterday. It was the day before Valentine's Day so he got the special "Berry in Love." It was as sweet as he is. I see a lot of options on the menu that I want to try. My litmus test for a good coffee place is how they make a Spanish latte or a regular hazelnut latte. Those are my go-to drinks and I like them strong. If I don't taste the espresso notes, then it ain't real coffee to me. I look forward to trying more of Makenna. read more

The lobby is open...I repeat...the lobby is open!! There are cute couches and tables in the lobby. Plus the additional outdoor seating. And there is always a different playlist going with great music. Admittedly, I have been here at least once a week since they have opened and some weeks more than that. However, I have vowed to try a new drink during each visit. And have you seen their expansive menu?!? It's going to take me a while to get through them all so I guess I have to keep visiting. Finally ordered a blueberry muffin and it was good. read more

I tried to go grand opening weekend and it was wayy too crazy busy. I finally had the opportunity to try it now that hype has died down a little. The inside seating was open and it was super cute inside. The line inside appeared to be short than the drive thru line. The drive thru line is challenging because it blocks the parking in the parking lot and a lane on the street. I ordered the Maui Latte with Kona Cloud. I highly recommend the Kona cloud if the drink doesn't have it include it. There were so many options to choose from. read more

Tried The Legend which is vanilla latte/caramel macchiato and almond milk. My husband had the Honey Bee Latte which is coconut, honey, splash of Maui milk and Carmel drizzle.
