(Johnny Depp voiceover as Capt Jack Sparrow) The vibe is get your coffee on Kraken-style! Taylor warmly greeted us. The decor took me to the open sea on the Black Pearl pirate ship. I wanted to say 'Parley!' Mocha w/ oatmilk. Impressive. Chocolaty goodiness. Mocha avec quatre shots. My cAMP levels were dangerously low. Hence, the quad dose of phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Savvy. Wow! The world is now right how it should be...ahhhh. Nothing like the ocean to remind me of why I love being Heard. And this mocha is definitely my favorite shade of Amber. So scrumptiously drinkable. Yes, she is! Vegan burrito. Wait...did I actually order a vegan burrito? Am I turning into a hippie? Unlikely. But there are no rules to culinary splendor; just guidelines. But so delish! Zucchini. Spicy beans. Potato. Avocado. Cholula hot sauce. Mucho caliente! My gosh! What a perfect way to start the day! Release the KRAKEN! The coffee is great! Ecumenically great! Would order everything again! Thanks, Taylor! Woohoo!

Coffee served with a snarl is not good coffee. We’re coffee people, baristas run in the family. Serving coffee should be viewed as providing an elixir to the soul.Dear unhappy Kraken Barista, a pretty design served with a bad attitude = coffee left untouched. I’d rather go home and make a nespresso.P.S. Coffee served without a saucer means the coffee will spill. At least provide a napkin.

My daughter and I love coming to this little gem of a coffee house! The workers there are so pleasant and patient for the morning rush of people. We have had several of their coffees and it tastes so smooth. I do recommend you try this spot when you get into town!

Fresh locally brewed coffee and specialty drinks, with a nice selection of ice cream too. The place is nice inside and the staff was great. You also get a good view of the beach when enjoying your coffee.

I came to the Scottish shop with my wife while we were meeting a friend. The place is really nice. They have outdoor seating and indoor the stuff we're outstanding, and the coffee was amazing. The view from outside of the coffee shop is overlooking the water, which really is relaxing. I had recommended for those ones to study or just hang out with a friend and grab some really good coffee. I will definitely return here again in the future.

This was a great place right by Avilia beach. We were in the mood for a coffee and a snack. It was later in the day so the food selection was limited, but the folks at the counter helped us figure out what to get. Once we got our food and coffee we went upstairs. Upstairs was really crowded with folks working on their computers. But that was ok. We enjoyed ourselves in the nautical themed loft upstairs. Who knew there were so many paintings of octopuses (octopi???)? This was fun. I really like the area so I'm sure I'll be back.

Weak coffee, overpriced, rude service and they were out of coffee creamer. 100% agree with all the other one and two star reviews. They keep it consistent that’s for sure. Too bad it’s not on the other end of of star spectrum.
My husband and i met a friend here for coffee, and im so glad we came and tried it. It was so good. I love coffee and enjoy drinking a cup of local coffee. I would return here and recommend it to everyone! Their view from here to the beach is amazing! its so peaceful and beautiful I highly recommend this place.

Great coffee and great view. They have seating on the mezzanine if you want to do a little work while enjoying the ocean view. Ur limited in space. We are just passing through but would definitely come by here again the next time I'm in the area.

Great coffee spot. We get the morning bun and almond croissant. Great staff, great location.

Solid coffee shop that has typical prices for the area. Had some light baked goods that were decent. Staff was sick so that always bothers me in the service industry. And the owner or manager are of this new average tip at 25% that's insane fine dining in major cities wouldn't do that but this spot with the trapped clientele and that dope view....

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!
Didn't taste like coffee, just watered down milk.
