Kraken Coffee Company - Avila Beach, California

Debbie Goodman

I ordered a mocha, it could’ve used a little more syrup and a little more sweetness but aside from that, it was good. The barista was very nice, and made a lovely little heart design on the top for me. Very polite very friendly. Definitely worth a stop here.

Coffee is of a high standard. Service friendly.
Has a great view and atmosphere

The best coffee shop in this area.

There are several other shops, but this is your real cafe experience. There is a work space in the upstairs loft area, wifi and a pleasant work environment. It’s not too loud or quiet.
The beach is right across the street ( video is attached) which I find to be refreshing and inspiring for my work.

The coffee was delicious, I had a tuxedo mocha (half dark chocolate & half white chocolate) which was velvety, delicious and beautifully made.

It was however a bit pricy for the area $7 for my latte, but that’s to be expected in this semi touristy part of California.

This review was was given solely on the basis of the atmosphere this place has. I literally didn’t order anything off their menu (I don’t drink coffee and already had breakfast) but I just loved how this place felt when you walk in the set up is really cool, being nautical but not too crazy, nice colours, great smell of coffee, and an upstairs seating area. 10/10 would totally work from this place if given the chance.

Kraken Coffee was wonderful! I went there 4 mornings in a row while visiting Avila Beach and ordered something different each time. Everything was tasty and the staff was very sweet and friendly. The bacon date scone and the cold brew were my favorite.

This has been my favorite coffee shop for the past few years. I will not go back. This morning it was filthy. The trash cans stank. The cream for coffee curdled. The inside of the ice cream freezer was dirty and encrusted with too much ice. Windows and floors filthy. This was at 9:00 AM. No more for me, and I’m a local. Horrible!

The American Southwest stole my heart, but Avila Beach was one of those places where I’d rather didn’t want to leave. Never. Drop me there and I’d never look back. Kraken Coffee would be the place I’d come every morning.
Nah… wake up. I was just an hour and a half in Avila. But the cappuccino and ice cream were amazing.

WASH YOUR HANDS!! Barista in the trucker hat behind the espresso machine blew his nose, wiped his face, and went right back to making my mocha. Super gross! ? The other batista he was talking to during all this didn't even notice. Another guy dropped my pastry off the plate onto the counter 2x, and then gave it to me. Gnats around the food. Time for employee Food Handeler training!!

Location is okay, wifi good, limited hours, nice view. Scones are amazing- when they are safe to eat. Coffee is very bold.
