Reviews
Very loud today. Not always but could barely hear the order over the chatter inside. They did have a group that just arrived making my order 20+ minutes which does happen and dont fault them for that but the noise component was ridiculous and compounded from the choice of building materials and design for the space in such a small area. Wish I had one of those stadium noise meters they use at football games cause I think it would have been interesting to see. The coffee was fine just delayed quite a bit.
Updated review:
I frequent a number of coffee shops and this place is routinely giving me my mocha at a warm but not hot temperature and often I end up microwaving it to get the temperature up. Im not sure if its their machine or the staff in how they do it but its consistently not as hot as starbucks or other places. Other than that, I enjoy the flavor of the mocha.
Past review:
First timer here. Tried the lemon/berry scone and was fresh and good. Also had a mocha and very much liked the balance flavor of coffee to chocolate. I can be pretty tough on my mochas and this one suits me well. The service was very friendly and timely. It was fairly busy with seating near capacity. The atmosphere could be better and seating area more inviting would be my only complaint but they’re doing as much as they can with the space. Really wish we had some nice options like this for coffee with good spaces located along the trail nearby to enjoy the river slough. If enough people comment with redmonďs planning of comp plan that can be a reality and perhaps a business like this could step up to advocate for it. All in all good place for coffee but parking can be challenging at times.
Staff is quite young, but polite and clearly good at their jobs.
Pros: Great food & coffee, nice ambiance, well-located, friendly staff
Cons: not much seating, service can sometimes be somewhat slow, prices (but fairly comparable to everywhere so that doesn’t really count)
Was recommended this place and would rate it as a great place overall for coffee anytime of the day, with breakfast / brunch / afternoon tea friendly pastries and food options as well i’m glad we gave this recommendation a try!
I’ve had good experiences at Doppio and the Screaming Parrot cafe. Both are within walking distance of this place, so take a look at those places over here.
The staff is really friendly, they are not just being polite but you can tell they enjoy making coffee for people. The atmosphere is social and relaxing, there are tables both inside and outside the shop.
I also was greatly heartened to see an American flag on the wall. This lifted my spirits greatly and made me feel at home. In Seattle city, in cafes and many restaurants, one sees flags of various rainbow hues and chromatic divisions. Although rainbow flags in the zeitgeist of our time purport to represent “inclusion”, I contend (with all due respect), that rainbow flag actually point out our divisions. I like rainbows in the sky caused by moisture and sunlight. Atmospheric rainbows are wonderful. Pots of gold are often at the end of them. But flags … flags are symbolic and the only symbol I want to see on a daily basis here in America is the American flag and the flag of the state of which I am in. The American flag is the only true flag of unity and inclusion. “And for the republic for which it stands … liberty and justice for all….” that’s the pledge of allegiance I grew up with in 1984… no rainbows … no divisions … unity under red and white stripes and crystal stars on field of brilliant blue. I don’t even own an American flag. I have no clothes with flag patterns on them. It’s just good to see it raised proudly in an establishment.
The shop was not busy and I was the only person waiting to place an order. I stood at the register for over 10 minutes unnoticed while two employees worked on drinks together. While I was standing infront of the register, I noticed every single orders were messed up. I honestly don’t think they were that busy like they claimed. When I asked how long it would be, I was told they weren’t ready to take orders because things were “backed up.”
I waited, but then several small groups came in and had their orders taken before mine. When I asked if ordering had resumed, an employee (ANNA) told me I “was out of line” in a rude tone. I ultimately waited about 20 minutes just to place an order. I came here to start my day with a good cup of coffee and nothing more.
I’m leaving this review because I’ve enjoyed this shop in the past, but today’s service felt dismissive and unnecessarily rude. WILL I COME BACK? Personally, not until the management gets straight with their protocols/training. There are plenty of other options nearby.
