Kahwa

Don’t ask for any variation of the menu items. I asked for a latte with a 2:1 milk to espresso ratio and they couldn’t figure it out. They consistently mess up my $ 5 coffee.

I really like the layout of these stores. Very clean, simple, and relaxed. I also appreciate that they sell the Dream coconut-​chocolate bars. They are made locally and are delicious.

Perfect neighborhood coffee shop! Good customer service, fair prices, and very good coffee. Also, the drive through is quick and easy.

Came here a few days ago during a work break with a coworker and I ordered an iced cold brew coffee with milk and sugar free vanilla syrup. It was delicious and tasted like vanilla ice cream. Service was quick and it’s in an easy in/​easy out location. It’s a cute place and they have tables outside if you want to enjoy the spring weather.

Best cappuccino when ordered extra dry. Latte has too much milk to the point that u don’t taste any coffee. Fast & friendly service always. Kahwa tastes far better than Starbucks!

DRIVE BY COFFEE CUTENESS
This beloved local chain has a great location off of busy 4^th Street — very easy to drive by and drive out.
OR IF YOU WANT THAT CHILLIN’ COFFEE EXPERIENCE…
… just park your car, order at the window, then chill in one of a handful of café tables all shaded from the Florida sun under a large overhead. But the sides are still open to elements so when the humidity gets horrible this may not be the best place.
IT’S A KAHWA SO OF COURSE IT’S GOOD
Whenever I order my test drink (Mocha Macchiato) and the barista asks, «Are you hoping for the Starbuck’s version…» (with a very subtle sneer) then I know I’m in a good place. While I’ve had better flavors elsewhere, Kahwa is definitely a top, consistent coffee shop. Since the location is small, they offer very few pastries if any at times. For the lactose/​milk allergic, there’s soy options. And they had Mother Kombucha bottles during my visit!

The overall rating, 4 stars. I had the same thing twice, two days in a row. Iced French Vanilla Cappucino, lightly sweet with cinnamon powder on top. Amazing. The bit of foam on the top of my coffee stayed for the whole drink. That’s exciting to me, and impressive.
The girls are sweet, with not a ton of knowledge but some. The parking is ample but GETTING IN the lot is hard. There are 3 openings to the lot and one is closed off, one is very narrow and angles and seems to be a one way but people are confused and don’t adhere to any rule there and the other is a big opening which works fine, except it’s off a fast moving busy street that has a meridian so… If you’re going the other way it’s hard to enter. Rant over on the parking lot entrance situation.
So… I’m a major coffee buff and a big Starbucks advocate. I am entirely impressed by CONSISTENCY. Everyone in the place should know what’s going on and they should all have the skills to make the products they are selling be it food coffee or otherwise. Two days in a row, two different girls, the same exact drink. I dig that. For that, stars!
One thing I didn’t like was the plastic cups– they’re the kind that as you go to press the lid on, they bend really easily. I’m not trying to be a crazy stickler, but I don’t want my cup to bust and lose my $ 5 iced cappuccino because the plasticware is cheap. Just saying.
Okay so another thing is, on the website they seem to pride themselves on their different roasts. Maybe it’s because I was ordering espresso, not coffee, that I didn’t hear or learn anything about the roasts they had, but it would have been nice to read about it somewhere. Maybe a board that lists them?

Love this place so happy there’s a location more north. Prices are good their drinks are less bitter than Starbucks. Drink choices are kinda basic but honestly I prefer it that way.

What a terrible place to get coffee. Came through the drive through and immediately thought «what a dump». It was run by hippies who were trying to talk to me in fake Jamaican accents and the guy even had dreds. Gross! I ordered a cheese crouscant and it was burnt and horribly greasy. The coffee was okay, but nothing to rave about. Personally, just didn’t like the service. Looked so unprofessional and dirty.

I went there when they first opened and I never went back. I love the coffee but I don’t like that store, first I couldn’t get in the drive thru due to the way they have it setup then I tried ordering a few pastries and they were out of 3 kinds and I was not very happy with the service.

Just what I was looking for, a local, good quality coffee shop. Stopped by for a quick espresso w hot soy milk. They knew enough to ask if I wanted foam or not. Friendly and quick! I’ll be back.

Just moved to St Pete and Ak glad I am close to this shop! They are delicious, consistent, and friendly. Cheers to their staff and the coffee.

Hands down my favorite coffee spot and favorite coffee! The café mocha is my jam, I’m in love! I love supporting local and small businesses and this is my favorite place I frequent often for great coffee! The espresso is also delicious!!! Highly recommend it!

So nice to have a local coffee option closer to home. We stopped in last weekend and grabbed a few coffees before hitting the road. We were all very happy with our choices and the folks working there were very friendly. I hope this location does well.

I went there and they were slow and confused. Wish Starbucks would have opened there. These guys are amateurs. Keep on driving for Starbucks. They will be closed in less than a year.
Drink was average.

I’m so happy there is finally a drive thru coffees top in st. Pete that has a local vibe.
I had the iced pumpkin spice latte, and a cheese and egg croissant. Both were great. I will most definitely be frequenting often.
