Kakawa Coffee

Great little coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is along the street. The coffee here is super well made and the chai is house made! There's even WiFi at the cafe.

Kakawa coffee is amazing, I've gotten their dirty chai and chai latte and both have been delicious! Today I came here to get some chai early in the morning and it was made in like 30 seconds, it was so quick! Their service is amazing and the kind people who work here have been so kind! The coffee shop itself is beautiful and it has a comfy feeling to it, it is well decorated and just amazing in general! Thank you Kakawa coffee, you are a great contribution to Point Loma and I will be coming back every time I'm here!

Was in the neighborhood and needed a caffeine boost. So I decided to give this place a try because of the 4.7 stars great Yelp reviews. Turned out that the stars on Yelp could be deceptive.First, drinks were terrible. I got 2 lattes (1 iced & 1 hot). The iced latte was way overextracted and so bitter that anyone who has taste buds would not enjoy it. Ended up having to toss it after a few sips. The hot one was mid with nothing special.Additionally, the attitude from the staff was extremely unwelcoming. There was no smile/thank you since the second that I stepped into the store. Maybe the staff were having a bad day...Would really like to support neighborhood businesses. But I'd definitely not give this place a second try.

I love this local coffee shop. They have the best kakawa latte and the staff is really friendly and nice. It's dog friendly and i have never had a bad coffee. I highly recommend this place!

The Mexican mocha is really good, it's really good. But, if this is a size MEDIUM, what's a small?

I have been to this coffee shop about 12 times or so as it is conveniently located in my neighborhood and near some spots where I run errands. I was excited to try a small, local coffee shop. I return again and again hoping that I will like it better. They post beautiful pictures of pastries and drinks on social media, but whenever I come in, I think, "Where are those?". I've never had a bad experience, but never great. My go-to is an iced coffee. I sometimes try fancier drinks and lattes around the holidays. There, they don't have non-fat milk, but they do have 2% which is acceptable, though I prefer nonfat. I have gotten a couple of pastries, but they are just located unceremoniously in a plastic case, not looking terribly appetizing. The few pastries I have had are not bad, but nothing special.The iced coffees are fine, though a bit on the pricey side as compared to other coffee in the area.I think that the main thing is that the people running the place never seems very interested. When I ask about products, I only get short answers and never recommendations. They are never rude, but often don't look up from their conversations much other than to ring me up. On the bright side, street parking is pretty easy and they get drinks to you quickly. In November, I tried the pumpkin spice cold brew, which I really enjoyed because it had a strong pumpkin flavor with none of the sweetness that I don't care for.All in all, it is a good place to stop by for a quick dink, but I wouldn't expect any more than that.

My wife and I stopped by for two coffees and two pastries. My wife ordered an oat milk latte and I a regular drip coffee, both were great. We also ordered a blueberry scone and a Nutella croissant. They offered to heat the pastries and obviously that made them even more wonderful. I highly recommend this neighborhood coffee shop, and based on the consistent customers, the locals love it also.

What a gem in San Diego! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place on Yelp. We wanted to check it out and it did not disappoint! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. The vibe was very cute as well. If I was a student here I would totally study here (there were a lot of charging ports & tables) We ordered the iced chai latte & their signature Kakawa latte & they were so good! My bf is a big chai lover & he said the chair was delicious. The kakawa I would describe as roasted coffee that isn't dark/bitter either. I think it is the perfect amount of coffee favor. Definitely should check it out. The owner mentioned that on their instagram they posts about events they hosts there too!

This cute coffee shop has the best espresso in town. They have a great variety of delicious pastries and are always playing nice music. Everyone is very warm and friendly.

Went in and ordered an iced latte. I watched them make it and they just poured a shot of expresso over iced milk? Isn't the milk supposed to be steamed? The espresso was way over extracted and extremely bitter. Disappointed considering the price point
