Kraken Coffee Company

Laid-back atmosphere and current style, the art of coffee is respected. My latte was smooth and delicious.Genuinely friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!

Just like their Avila Beach location this is a nice place where you can relax in their cozy environment and people watch or better yet look at the Pismo Pier Plaza Project take place which can be less relaxing if anything. However, there's nothing the coffee shop can do about this. Their drinks are good and priced fairly considering their location .

Would be nice to be able to visit this place after work hours but they close early so don't expect this to happen. Their hours Mon-Thurs from 7am-2pm and the rest of the days they're open until 5pm.

Only feedback I would provide to the employees is when they are faced with several customers they should have a better system to track down what customers ordered specially when multiple drinks were placed in the same order they can tend to forget about the rest of the drinks.

Other than that, get out there and enjoy some coffee at this cozy place.

I stumbled across this shop on a weekend vacation and I had to come back TWICE it was so good. The first day I had a lavender chamomile latte! Absolutely to die for. The baristas were so kind and friendly, they really made my day. If you work at Kraken Coffee Co in Pismo Beach and you have purple hair or dreadlocks with glasses, treat yourself today because you truly made me smile! I left with a Nitro lemonade with the lavender syrup mixed in and it was absolutely delicious. They were able to recommend the perfect combinations to me to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted! The second morning I got a brevé Gibraltar (which are called cortados where I'm from, so I was super excited to learn something new). Oh my goodness I was in heaven. The half and half was steamed to perfection and the espresso was so tasty. I also got an iced dirty chai with oat milk, and I was happy to hear it was from a local vendor! It was so yummy with a delicious dust of cinammon on top. All this paired with the open wall to the beach, the beautiful branding, and the cozy yet open atmosphere made me feel the most relaxed I've been in months. If I'm ever in the area again, this will definitely be my first stop! Thank you so much for two wonderful mornings 💖

Cool scandi style coffee vibes. Gibralter on point, ready to rock the day.

Got the nitro cold brew. It was solid.

Overall seems like a good coffee place that would be considered “third wave.” Definitely the best I’ve tried in the area thus far.

Also, the inside decor is really cool, & close to the beach.

This great little coffee place is near the pier and by the new Pismo sign. Inside is chic and great coffee. The service is excellent. They were open early today and offered to double cup my coffee and make it extra hot so it would survive walk all the way back to the sea crest and still be hot for my hubby. I’ll definitely be back!

It's my favorite place for a delicious morning break at the end of Pismo Beach Pier. Beautiful views and great Baristas! My Oatmilk Latte always has milk art! Thank you Parker, Carlie, Joe, and Amber!

Great little coffee shop with a killer ocean front view. Massive open air space with plenty of seating, good light, and electric plugs. Staff is friendly and the coffee is perfect. Plus an amazing patio for nice weather.

Delicious, so friendly, and a simple menu that they execute perfectly. Highly recommend the small batch ice cream that they serve and the nitro coffee. Plus an affogato as the perfect afternoon treat!

Got a nitro Arnold Palmer. Not on the menu but they have ice tea and lemonade. Good flavor. Service was fast and friendly
