Kakawa Coffee

I love to support small business and I have never tasted anything like the drinks they make. The drinks are never too sweet - just right. The flavors are very unique and I am never disappointed! I highly encourage you to give them a try. Harika!!!

This is the best coffee shop in San Diego! Not only do they make the most delicious chai lattes and vegan pastries, they are also all about community and kindness. It is rare to find a coffee shop that has both soul and integrity when it comes to making excellent beverages, but trust me, you will find it at Kakawa!!!

Great place! I got a regular Latte and the Avocado toast; it all tasted perfect! They load up on the avocado and the seasoning/drizzle they put on top tastes awesome! The coffee blend they used was tasty and offered a perfect amount of bitterness to my Latte. They are very kind and it sort of felt like I’ve been there before due to how welcoming they were! Will be back soon!

First I just want to say it’s definitely important to support local especially during this pandemic! But this place is amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their holiday blend coffee is great bursting with flavor, even if you don’t drink coffee black like me you’ll want to drink this one black to truly enjoy all the flavors within this blend. It was so good that I had to also buy some beans just in case I don’t have time to stop by the shop. Although I don’t have a grinder at home they were nice enough to grind up the beans for me. It was my first time going there and I will definitely be going back!

I adore the friendly and accessible neighborhood feel of this quaint little place. The coffee is so distinctive and tasty! I had an iced latte that was the best and most flavorful iced latte I had had in a long time. The overall atmosphere of the place is cozy, comfy, and peaceful. The two ladies who own it and work there are so awesomely gracious and they definitely know all about coffee! I will totally and gladly come back here again and again. Two thumbs up!!!

I'm not a latte guy, but their Kakawa latte has brought me back several times. Espresso + coconut + dark chocolate = ❤️.

Kakawa is hands down one of the best coffee shops in San Diego. The staff/owners are super friendly and knowledgeable about their product. I LOVE the pumpkin cold brew and also took home some Papua New Guinea beans that were recommended for espresso. The few pastries I've tried are very good!

I cannot say enough about this place. My buddy Shane and I stopped in here today while on a break. The hospitality was amazing, the coffee was great and the ladies had a great attitude/ customer service. Even with all the craziness of this pandemic going on. The ladies (sisters I believe) had a positive attitude. My buddy and I had only planned to stop in for about 10 to 15 minutes and ended being there about an hour chatting away. The customers who came in definitely were regulars which is nice to see. I enjoy supporting small business and will definitely come back.

Very warm and welcoming atmosphere with exceptional coffee. What’s not to like?!

Had to do another review! They have great coffee and today I just found out they have live music too! I love jazz, plus coffee= perfect!
