Kraken Coffee Company

Super cute shop, everything is reasonably priced and the staff are amazing! Super friendly, I asked about the Kambucha and I got a sample of each (the Peach one is amazing!). We also got an espresso, a vegan burrito and sausage & egg burrito. The food was good, it's in a great location with a good beach view and the vibe is awesome! Definitely stop by - I know we'll be back

In my humble opinion this is the best coffee place in Pismo. Great location, right next to the pier, great, great coffee and the pastries are to die for. Whatever you do, don't go to Pismo without trying Kraken's morning buns. The croissants are also very good, flaky and soft at the same time. And the savory scones? They're a meal unto themselves.
I'm just a happy customer and have no relationship whatsoever with this business but if you don't try Kraken, you'll be seriously missing out.

First time stopping in at the Kraken Coffee Company. Have to say, the name drew me in. Picked up some Pyra Coffee beans, a cup of brew coffee and a scoop of ice cream. The brew coffee and ice cream were great! Friendly service. Nice shop, with patio type seating, too. I can recommend for coffee or a hand scooped ice cream.

Cute coffee shop. Cashier was incredibly friendly and hospitable. Answered all my questions. Our pasty was great and fresh. Moderately priced and they have non dairy options.

Unfortunately though the experience beyond the cashier did not keep up to the level of standard set by the cashier.

Asked the female expediting the drinks for a lid to where she informed me “they’re on the wall” to where upon my discovery were out of stock for the hot 12oz cups. Once I informed her they were out of stock her initial reaction was like I offended her. All I wanted was a lid for an order I initially ordered to-go.

Espresso was sour tasting; upon completing my beverage I found myself yawning. Standard is 2 shots of espresso, I added one more making it 3.

Finally to complete, there was coffee grind at the bottom of my latte. Imagine drinking coffee and getting stuff in your teeth. Unfamiliar with this business’ practices but from experience it does not take that long to rinse out a porta-filter.

Happy I can get espresso at Pismo Beach. Emphasis on the great experience the cashier gave but sadly after, the ball was dropped.

definitely seems like the cool spot around here. cool, modern aesthetic and excellent lattes (8.5/10 for this latte feen)
some of the other reviews threw me off but i enjoyed my visit. indoor and outdoor seating, there’s a garage style door that opens up one side of the shop to the parking lot/ beach and allows fresh air to come through.
wifi and chargers under the table if you’re looking to chill for a while/ work.

Who unleashed the Kraken? Their espresso drinks are outstanding, personally really prefer a breve capital here. They do not roast their own beans but the coffee is quite high end. Also great friendly service!

Good coffee with sea view point. Coffee is so delicious. Taste is good. I recommend cappuccino.

Let try.

The staff who helped me was very friendly and helpful to helped me customize my drink; also, he even asked me about a game I’m looking forward to! The outdoor seat was limited, but awesome if you get one to view the ocean from afar. The atmosphere inside was nice, too.

had some expectations for this place but the flat white here was so bad i had to throw it out. it had an overpowering artificial sweetness to it and could only take a few sips.

the vibes were nice by the beach tho.

Great location with a spectacular ocean view across from the pier. Hearty breakfast burrito filled with scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon. (Vegetarian option) They offer an array of coffee choices with seating options, inside and out.
