ALERT! Long post ahead šŸ”„

Kenzie’s coffee shop is such a hidden gem and easily one of the best spots in the area.

I tried the strawberry matcha and the ube coconut latte with cold foam and coconut shreds—both were absolutely delicious. The flavors are unique, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. These are definitely drinks you’ll find yourself craving again, especially on a nice day.

The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. It’s small but incredibly welcoming, with such a warm and inviting vibe. There’s a perfect little area to sit, relax, and enjoy the weather. I also loved seeing scripture written on the board—something I’ve never come across in other coffee shops. As someone who values that, it made the experience feel even more meaningful and personal.

It’s impressive that there’s only one barista running the shop, yet everything flows so smoothly. Despite the size, I’ve seen people hold meetings and small gatherings here, which really speaks to how comfortable and well-loved this place is.

Every time I visit, there’s always a line, and it’s easy to see why, customers leave happy and keep coming back. This place has such strong potential to grow even more.

Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!

Nowhere else can you get a huge blueberry scone and a Chai with coconut milk and honey for 10$

Good coffee and great service. the prices are reasonable and i met the best and friendly barista in town. Other coffee shops charge like 7 dollars for coffee for them with plant milk around 6bucks.

Terrible coffee and they don’t have a restroom!? They have WiFi and serve beverages all day but won’t let you urinate there!? So stupid.

Really kind barista. I like the prices too, especially considering the area. What makes it really special is if you happen to be here at the same time as the bubble man. The vibes are on point here.

I recently stumbled upon Kenzie and it will definitely be somewhere I visit regularly! Their iced vietnamese coffee is delicious, coconut latte was also good. They also have some gluten free pastries options. The staff is very friendly and I felt welcome from the moment I arrived!

There were zero vegan pastry/food options. Would like to see them upgrade this. The black iced americano was good. Seating available.

Stumbled across Kenzi while visiting a neighboring school. Ordered an iced coffee then looked down at their easel and saw ā€œMexican Mocha Latteā€ and it sounded soooooo good! I asked the super friendly and attentive barista (didn’t get his name) if they added extra syrup or sweetener and he said nope…just the Abuelita chocolate. So I ordered it! Their iced coffee is strong and the MML was super super yum! I look forward to visiting again soon!

Equally refreshing was how authentically appreciative he was that I tipped him.

Well done Kenzi!
