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!

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!

This place is truly a hidden gem. Tucked behind a few businesses, it can be a little difficult to…read morespot at first, but once you find it, you'll discover a warm and welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing. It's never overly crowded or overwhelming, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful experience. My wife and I often stop by on weekend mornings for coffee. 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.

I first came to Sips at a Yelp evening event, but was curious enough to return to feel out their…read moredaytime vibe, and to try their coffee menu. I came on Sun. afternoon, and it was super quiet and chill. I got their unique Shakerato- a shaken espresso served in a sleek martini glass. The shakerato was so good and elegantly presented. Pastries are from Cafe Ficelle. The lead barista is of the school that takes pride in crafting each drink and not letting the machine automatically do all the work. The brother sister owners bring their culinary wine and beer experience to their cafe, but they invested into learning about coffee. Sips uses Beacon roasters who actually train cafe baristas on how to produce the best shots using their beans, so it's a true coffee collaboration. The cafe vibe is bright, airy and cozy. The owner was there and we chatted for awhile- he said they are ultimately happy to be a neighborhood local cafe- they're not trying to be Starbucks and be super high volume. They want to serve the East end of Ventura, which does not have a lot of mom/pop style cafes and restaurants.

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.

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.

If you're catching a boat from the harbor, this is a great spot to grab a good cup of coffee first.

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!

I tried a couple different drinks (and a dessert) so I could give an honest review, and everything was amazing. I ordered my usual, a sugar-free vanilla oat latte with cold foam, and it was perfect--from the espresso to the cold foam on top. I also asked for a recommendation, and the barista suggested their Biscoff coffee. That one absolutely blew me away! They even added pieces of Biscoff cookie on top, and I instantly fell in love with it. For dessert, we tried their mango sago. I honestly don't even know everything that was in it, but wow--it was so good. I could've easily eaten the whole cup myself The only thing I wish they had is a few food options, because I'm sure they'd be just as great. Their location can vary since they pop up in different spots, so I recommend checking their Instagram before going. The line was long, but honestly that's expected when the drinks are this good--so just be prepared. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors!
