Kraken Coffee Company

The best coffee shop in this area.

There are several other shops, but this is your real cafe experience. There is a work space in the upstairs loft area, wifi and a pleasant work environment. It’s not too loud or quiet.
The beach is right across the street ( video is attached) which I find to be refreshing and inspiring for my work.

The coffee was delicious, I had a tuxedo mocha (half dark chocolate & half white chocolate) which was velvety, delicious and beautifully made.

It was however a bit pricy for the area $7 for my latte, but that’s to be expected in this semi touristy part of California.

This review was was given solely on the basis of the atmosphere this place has. I literally didn’t order anything off their menu (I don’t drink coffee and already had breakfast) but I just loved how this place felt when you walk in the set up is really cool, being nautical but not too crazy, nice colours, great smell of coffee, and an upstairs seating area. 10/10 would totally work from this place if given the chance.

Kraken Coffee was wonderful! I went there 4 mornings in a row while visiting Avila Beach and ordered something different each time. Everything was tasty and the staff was very sweet and friendly. The bacon date scone and the cold brew were my favorite.

Latte’s are in point & Great service!! Highly recommend 😋

The American Southwest stole my heart, but Avila Beach was one of those places where I’d rather didn’t want to leave. Never. Drop me there and I’d never look back. Kraken Coffee would be the place I’d come every morning.
Nah… wake up. I was just an hour and a half in Avila. But the cappuccino and ice cream were amazing.

Good coffee. Excellent service. The location is right on the beach so there's a nice view of the water. Very relaxing place to have coffee.

Dirty chai is delicious. They were fairly busy when we visited but still managed to serve us quickly and were so kind.

This is a beautiful coffee shop, my family has been coming here for years. I think it deserves a good review, but I’m writing a bad review today because the barista (Olivia D.) was so rude. Other reviews mentioned negative service, and I’d think it’s because of her. Olivia was cold and unfriendly the whole interaction, even after we tipped her 25% she was incredibly rude. I don’t have high expectations for a short coffee interaction, but this was not normal.

Love this new coffee shop. Ice cream...bakery goods and coffee coffee coffee oh and tea! Love that they have oat milk, it foams do nicely. They also have almond milk. Nice view of the pier. A great place to work.

Got to give it to the Kraken Coffee Company! One of the best Vanilla Iced Lattes I have ever had! Thank you Kraken for the great service and the delicious product!

Nice coffee shop with a great view and good ice cream!

I got some yummy matcha here. The lady servicer was very friendly and nice. Great view of ocean

If you are visiting the beach in Avila and you would like a hot coffee, an iced coffee or a chai, choose the Kraken. You will not be disappointed in this coffee shop, especially if you sit outside or upstairs. It has become a mainstay of Avila, and I will sometimes make a special trip to Avila just to grab a coffee and enjoy the view of the Pacific Ocean. I am a Central Coast local and work from coffee shops multiple days a week, so I know the shops to visit and those to avoid, and this is one shop that should be high on your list to visit.

Delicious cup of Mexican Mocha. Beautiful view from upstairs seating area. The Baristas were friendly and love thier smiles this morning. They have the best view from their job every morning.

Cozy coffee ☕ cafe on the beach. Great capuchino and espresso.

High quality coffee. I ordered an iced latte with whole milk and thoroughly enjoyed it as I overlooked the beach. They are implementing covid mitigation policies and their employees are friendly. I plan on returning here again.

unique, great coffee...go for the affogato and stroll over to see in front of the ocean, right across the street...

Kraken coffee is where Joe Mama’s Coffee used to be in Avila beach. Can’t speak for the coffee, but the chai was good and the staff was very friendly. Still my go to spot for coffee in Avila :)

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.

IMHO, really good coffee in the tiny town of Avila. Nice stylish establishment and the owner is hardworking and loves what she does. Lots of people coming and going. Great place to sit down have a drink and watch the people and the beach.
