Makenna Koffee Company

Crema's Take

“Makenna Koffee Company has carved out a beloved spot in Isla Vista's coffee scene with a genuinely local feel that keeps students and neighborhood regulars coming back. The shop earns its devoted following through thoughtfully sourced beans and skilled espresso work, creating drinks that taste like the baristas actually care about each cup. It's the kind of place where you can sense the community connection—where people linger, work on laptops, and strike up conversations with the folks behind the counter who seem to know their regulars by name.”
