Love the vibe at Makenna Coffee!
Highlights: • Diverse menu for coffee, tea, non-caffeinated drinks, and Red Bull slushes • Ample seating inside with neighbor seating outside • Average coffeehouse pricing (about $5 for small specialty drinks) • Youthful vibe that accommodates conversational groups and working individuals alike
The music is the one downside as it was electronic (very youthful, though). The coffee was very good -- we tried two seasonal specialty drinks. The Kona Cloud for the cold brew is delicious!

I am a coffee fanatic and this coffee was by far in the top 3 of all time deliciousness...coast to coast. I am still trying to figure out what their recipe precisely is for that latte (Maui milk) because now that I am back on the East Coast, there isn't a coffee shop around that can do what they do! Staff are chill and kind which totally resonates throughout the store...you come in excited and leave satisfied with a sense of connectedness we so lack...
