Kahwa Coffee

I am not sure if we had bad luck, but the espresso was too light, no body, almost no flavor. We asked for 2 cappuccinos. The barista had good intentions trying to do a fine design, but that resulted in two lattes, and not two cappuccinos as we asked. I have tried the same drinks in St Pet, and I remember that they were much better. May be you need to calibrate that grinder to give more grams, or there was something wrong with those coffee beans. And leave those fancy designs for lattes, and make a true cappuccino please.

Today I ordered an iced latte along with other 2 coffees and was given a matcha latte. Told the barista and apparently he understood a matcha latte instead of iced latte. No a big deal. Everyone can make a mistake and I was not in a rush. What bothered me was the fact that a matcha latte costs more than a regular iced latte and I had to be the one asking if I was charged more. When they confirmed yes, a second barista went ahead and said that there was not a big difference in price. I then proceeded asking: “Okay so how much?” - “Oh just 30 cent”, but no intention to find a solution whatsoever! I get it that I might not go broke for 30 cents, but it’s kind of dishonest to not mention any price difference or trying to find a form of reimbursement! If I don’t have 30 cents to meet the price for a coffee, would they give me the coffee anyway? I don’t think so! Anyway, after pointing out the fact that I was getting charged more for something that I didn’t order the barista then offered to add some flavoring syrup to one of my coffees. I accepted the “trade”, thank them and went on my way, but definitely didn’t appreciate the way that they managed the situation. Also in case you were wondering it was just me an another client, so 2 baristas/4 coffees. And this without even adding the fact that it’s the second week in a row that my coffee order was wrong. After more than 7 years coming here, I don’t know if I would come back. It’s not about the mistake, but how they were about to charge me more without telling me!

They had a 5 star for years.. I have their tins, coffee and love the cafes.. just walked up to downtown Cafe and they don't accept cash.. their loss.. cash is legal tender for public n private debts.. don't complain of change shortages because using legal tender is what helps that..

Nice place, great atmosphere, real good espresso, delicious croissants, rock-solid Internet, clean restroom, perfect location, reasonable prices, nice street view through the floor-to-ceiling front windows. I didn't give it 5 stars because the barista behind the counter gave me an attitude when I asked her about the Internet key. I was with a friend, she ordered an espresso + croissant, I pulled out my computer, greeted the barista and asked her if the network "Kahwa guest" was theirs, she said yes, then I asked her if she knew the key, and she said yes. At this point, any reasonable person would have provided the key without me having to ask explicitly, but she didn't. She just kept silent, so I asked her what the key was, it was only when that she told it to me. It felt between condescending and passive-aggressive

Outside is very loud. Coffee was worse than starbucks in my opinion and I don't really like starbucks except for their Christmas blend. Staff was very nice and inside looked pretty cool. It did smell very strange though.

Local bay area coffee shop. They roast their own beans. Quality is one of the best. Excellent alternative to Starbucks.

This coffee shop has some amazing coffee and great customer service. When ever I need to get some work done. I can usually get a lot done. great spot in downtown Sarasota.

Great spot in downtown Sarasota. Delicoius pastries and even better espresso. Their inside seating is a little dark and bleak, but they have a great patio (good for people watching). Highly recommend.

Love this cafe. One of the best iced coffee in downtown Sarasota and the cheddar & chives scone is delicious.

Very nice atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside and out. Power plugs. Coffee was amazing. Espresso was not bitter at all and the cold brew on nitro is a unique touch.
