Crema's Take

Tucked in Point Loma, Kakawa is a carefully curated coffee destination where the owner's passion for ethically sourced beans shines through in every espresso pull and pour over—you'll taste the difference in a cup that prioritizes flavor clarity over milky smoothness. The intimate, aesthetic space strikes that rare balance between a cozy spot to linger with friends and a quick stop for something truly exceptional, with thoughtful touches like gluten-free treats and creative seasonal drinks like matcha coconut lattes that keep regulars coming back.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

A nice and interesting place to get coffee! I enjoyed trying a new coffee, a matcha Coconut iced latte. I also loved they had some gluten free treats to enjoy as well. There were some seats to chat for a little while and relax. Overall a nice neighborhood spot!
