Carrer del Teatre, 36

Dear friend, welcome to Kohana

That's what the card that comes with your coffee says. We're a specialty coffee shop with Ukrainian-rooted home cooking, in Alicante's old town.

our story

Kohana is about family

When we came to Spain we had to start from scratch: days without rest, mistakes, learning and lots of new people. Today there is Kohana, a place born of love for what we do and, above all, love for family.

We don't play at being a family restaurant: we live it. Kohana is a home away from home, a place you want to come back to.
