A New Local Landmark on Harbor Blvd: Ventura’s Own Makenna Koffee Moves Toward Construction
Ventura’s Harbor Blvd corridor is set to welcome a fresh, locally rooted addition as Makenna Koffee, a proudly locally owned Simi Valley company, prepares to break ground on its new stand‑alone café. Jac Architecture has completed the full design and entitlement package, and the project is now progressing through plan review with an anticipated construction start in January 2027.
The 2,000‑square‑foot ground‑up building features a dual drive‑thru configuration, designed to maximize efficiency and meet the growing demand for high‑quality, quick‑service coffee. The development also includes full site improvements, including a newly designed parking lot, upgraded landscaping, modern site lighting, and safe pedestrian circulation.
As a local business expanding its footprint, Makenna Koffee is poised to strengthen Ventura’s commercial vitality while delivering a modern, community‑focused coffee experience along Harbor Blvd.
