I found on Yelp that Volcano coffee was within 5 minutes of my location. This was definitely a random visit which turned into a wonderful one. Upon my entry, I was greeted with a cheerful "Good Morning " by one of the ladies (employee/possibly owner) and had made eye contact. I advised it was my first visit and if she didn't mind me taking some updated photos of the business as Yelp had old pictures. She stated "You're more than welcome, let me know when you're ready to order". I thanked her and I would holler. The place was larger than I expected. The building didn't look as big on the outside. I guess I was fooled. LOL! The ambiance was clean, comfortable with cozy lounge furniture and dining tables. There is a Fireplace, however, was not in use as it was warm inside. The Christmas tree was still up. I was advised by one of the ladies that they leave it up and change the theme throughout the year. I thought that was pretty neat. Drive thru is available. After looking through the menu. I opted to order the sausage egg muffin breakfast $6.50. This was good. I also ordered a Masala Chai latte with coconut milk $6.30 (inclusive of up charge $.75). This was recommended by one of the ladies and had claimed it was her favorite drink. I enjoyed this drink very much! I also had a warmed apple fritter $3.05 which was good. The three ladies that were working on that day were so joyful, full of smiles and laughter. I could tell they had great chemistry and enjoyed working there. I believe one of them was the owner. They surely made my morning and my day. I left merrily on my way to run the rest of my errands. I shall be back! =)

This place looks so cool. It has so much potential to be even bigger/popular…read more The problem I see is the drive-through: The menu is at the very front of the line and you can't see it until you get to the counter. Sure you can look it up on Yelp or Google, but what if you don't want to or have the ability to? My only experiences is through the drive-through, the experience inside the building might be better, but their drive-through really needs to step up with advertising and maybe a popular drink menu. I got a sugar-free caramel macchiato, it tasted very milky, not a lot of flavor. I also got their pesto and turkey Panini sandwich, and to be honest it was really salty, but overall decent. I wouldn't get it again, but it's not a bad choice if you like a little more sodium. The best thing about this visit was the pup cup. Other coffee shops give a cup that it's really hard for the snouts to get all the way in and this cup is flexible and nice and easy. Probably won't return unless I want a pup cup.

We were wanting to get on the road but figured with four or five people behind the counter service would not be sluggish, but alas! I think they had to remake someone else's order. The coffee drinks here are more like what you get at a plastic-sign drive through coffee stand - made for the sweet caramel whip cream crowd, not for the actual espresso drinker. The pastries did not come across as homemade or made well.

Unfortunately, my experience today at the Puyallup location was very disappointing. My first time in an actual location, ( The service sucked ) I ordered a sandwich about 20 minutes ago, and it was nothing like the quality I've come to expect. The sausage was overcooked and dry, and the eggs tasted watered down and lacked flavor. Overall, the sandwich was dry and disappointing compared to what I've received in the past. It's frustrating because I know how good their food can be when it's prepared correctly. I hope this was just an off day, because I've enjoyed their sandwiches before and would like to see the quality return to what made me a repeat customer.The sandwiches I ordered from the Kent location, they were amazing.

Overall, I typically get energy drinks so I always just ask for half the sweetness and for the most part the girls don't make it too sweet, but when it is too sweet, I just let it water down.

We went on a sunny day, and the atmosphere and scenery were definitely a highlight. I ordered the Lumberjack breakfast sandwich, which was absolutely delicious, along with a caramel macchiato that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the customer service didn't match the quality of the food. When we approached the counter, it was our first visit, so we took a little extra time to look over the menu. The cashier initially told us she'd be with us shortly, then took our order. Throughout the interaction, she seemed irritated and unapproachable. I understand everyone can have an off day, so I didn't think much of it at first. (This was around 11:00 a.m. on July 2.) Since we had our toddler with us, I asked if she had any recommendations for what kids typically enjoy. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like I was inconveniencing her. We ended up ordering a pastry and a cake pop for our daughter. As the rest of my family placed their orders, we all noticed the same lack of friendliness. One tip for future customers: if you're sitting outside, keep an eye on the pickup counter. I checked a few minutes later and saw that only our drinks were ready. After using the restroom, I noticed several food baskets on the counter but wasn't sure if one was ours. I asked the cashier if the basket under my name was my order, and she simply responded with an "uh-huh" in a dismissive tone. I considered speaking to her about the interaction but ultimately decided to leave and share my experience here instead. The food, coffee, and beautiful location would definitely bring me back. I only hope the customer service improves because a welcoming attitude would make the overall experience just as enjoyable as the food.

Sadly, they were out. She took our drink order and walked away which felt very inefficient for the level of busy for just 1 person to be managing. We decided we'd try the breakfast sandwich instead, assuming it would taste similar, and it did. Despite ordering "2 sausage and egg breakfast sandwiches" (after having ordered 2 sausage and egg burritos) she made 1 and was already onto helping the customer at the other window. Since there are no prices on the menu board and they don't give you a receipt, I can only assume I just paid $5-6 for an Italian soda and $5-6 for a breakfast sandwich. Don't get me wrong, that seems like a fair price for a breakfast sandwich, so the total I paid should have been the tip off that she was only making 1, but the other peculiar part was that she told me the total and saw he holding up cash so then she gave me a new, lower total. Just overall not a great experience for a special breakfast outing with my kiddo.

The drinks themselves are good, but the overall experience could be better. Each time I visit, the customer service feels unwelcoming. The baristas don't seem very friendly, which makes it hard to enjoy stopping by. I love people who make coffee (coffee is the start of my day, every day!), I'm polite, and I always tip well--so it's disappointing to consistently feel that lack of warmth. With just a little more focus on friendliness and customer connection, Elite could really shine as much as their unique menu does.
