Kraken Coffee Company

Great coffee spot by the beach! They also serve ice cream here :)

I love coming to Kraken. It's so great to not only have a coffee shop in Avila, but a great one at that. Beyond the coffee, I've also had ice cream, baked snacks, bought a beach toy or two and even worked upstairs on my laptop with a great view of the ocean. Not much missing from this place and it's a must visit.

Delicious iced coffee and chai. Awesome vibe and friendly staff. Will definitely go back next time we're in the area.

Awesome little place. Great atmosphere, staff was friendly. Just a great place.

Fun place to enjoy a coffee and get some work done. The drip coffee has a lot of flavor. The iced latte was good but could have been a little stronger since the coffee they offer is so flavorful.

“Always Local” slogan and they have some great local products. This is the first place I’ve tried nitro iced tea and it was good! The friendly and helpful staff described it when I asked as smoother than regular iced tea and I would agree. Their Yerba mate hot tea tasted pretty fresh too.

Great coffee, pastries, and view of the ocean. But beware they seemed to have dropped their use of the shared restroom. So the next closest restroom is at the base of the pier which makes working remotely here difficult.

Great place for quick coffee, morning hours only so don't expect to go here in the afternoon.

This place would make SO much more money if they closed at a normal time. I was literally upstairs just starting to work along with about 12 other people who were also there when they told us they were closing in a half hour. I looked at my watch and was so confused because it was only 1:30. We all were basically kicked out and I didn't even get to order coffee... I think the owners are just too lazy to change the hours because they don't care. Would recommend if you are an early riser and elderly but the Kraken is definitely not interested in catering to students or normal working people. They give off this holistic, hippie-earthy vibe and they are the direct opposite which I think is amusing. They cater to wealthy Avila beach locals who wake up and go to bed early because they don't have a life. I would recommend somewhere like Kreuzberg instead who's atmosphere and staff uphold their image.

My husband and I were visiting Avila Beach for the first time and we stopped in Kraken Coffee for cold Nitro Brew. They were out of Nitro (no big deal) so we ordered iced coffee instead. The young woman that served us was challenged to interact with us on the most basic level. She had the personality of a wet blanket. When we got the iced coffee we went to add half and half and they were out of half and half. The young woman seemed so aggravated with us at that point and the coffee was just so-so.
