Leana's Coffee Shack
Handcrafted lattes, cold brews, and warm island hospitality on Airport Road
Why Go
Leana's Coffee Shack — formerly Anchor Point Coffee — has become a beloved morning ritual for Simpson Bay locals and visitors who appreciate coffee made with genuine care. Owner Leana has built something personal here: strong lattes, creative frozen coffees, cold brews, and even dirty sodas and matcha drinks, all prepared with an attention to detail that chain coffee shops can't match. The fact that she'll introduce you to the resident iguanas tells you everything about the vibe.
The Experience
This is a small, personal operation with big flavor. The menu goes well beyond basic coffee — custom drinks, fresh lemonade, teas, and specialty items like mini tarts and breakfast bites. The space is casual and welcoming, the kind of place where regulars know each other by name and newcomers feel immediately comfortable. Leana runs it with genuine warmth, and that personality is baked into every drink. Occasional events like journaling sessions add a community dimension you won't find at typical cafes.
What to Try
The frozen coffee is a standout on hot days — and every day is a hot day here. The cold brew is strong and smooth. If you want something different, try the dirty sodas or the matcha options. For food, the mini tarts and breakfast items are fresh and pair perfectly with your drink. Ask Leana what she recommends — she's proud of her menu and will steer you right.
Insider Tip
The shack is small and personal, so mornings can get a quick line of regulars. Come between 9 and 10 AM for the sweet spot of fresh-made everything without the early rush. The Saturday hours are shorter (closes at noon), so don't leave your weekend coffee run too late.
