The service was good and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi wasn’t working and there was no restroom available, which made things a bit uncomfortable. I ordered the Mayan Mocha — I usually enjoy this drink elsewhere, but here the spiciness really overpowered the chocolate and coffee flavors. It was a bit too intense for me. Overall, it’s an okay spot, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Quaint coffee shop. Very good coffee. Great breakfast options. Empanada, ham and cheese croissant, pastries. Needs more seating. Area could be organized to seat more people.

I came to try this coffee shop and glad I did. Ordered the matcha coconut Latte and it was so refreshing and sweet. Can’t wait to try more on the menu.

Kakawa provided Coffee and Hot Cocoa for my students and their families at our semi-annual Piano Recital in Point Loma.
It was so nice to have everything taken care of-cups, drinks, creamer, sugar, etc. The coffee and hot cocoa were excellent as was their service (as always). There was also more than enough for everyone.
Thank you Gladys for going above and beyond and making my event amazing! I look forward to our next recital!
Kid-friendliness: This is the place to take kids to for Hot Cocoa. Trust me!
My husband and I live close by to this coffee shop and love their coffee and matcha drinks so much! I always get a dirty chai or the coconut matcha iced and my husband gets the Mexican mocha iced! Their chai is hands down one of the best chai’s not just in PL/OB area, but in all of SD. The owner and staff are always friendly and we enjoy the quality of their coffee so much! Definitely come here if you get the chance!😋🙌🏼

We got just a simple hot latte. The espresso tasted quite burnt. It’s not what we would expect from a small, highly rated coffee shop. I hope for the sake of Kakawa that this was not representative.
Love this place and come here all the time! Kakawa has drinks I can't find anywhere else with such interesting flavors blending South American & Middle Eastern flavor profiles. Try the Arabian Mocha! I also love their Chai—it's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Plus the owner, Gladys, is great!

Fantastic coffee shop. Great selection of seasonal drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. I had 3 different drinks while we were in town: gingerbread latte, polar mocha and Mexican mocha. The shop is small, but there is seating inside and outside. Bonus: They know what a steamer is, so our granddaughter was really happy.
