Coffee Driven

6 months ago

Been here a couple of times and they have not let me down yet. I had the creamy Carmella the first time (similar to a caramel macchiato) and one of their rotating specials, a Sam-I-am-ericano with brown sugar, white chocolate, and soft top. Both were very yummy and I would order them again. The baristas are always in a good mood and keep the line moving. I will say that last time I went, they were out of most of the food options. And the bacon Gouda croissant I got was a little sad looking, and reminiscent of the breakfast sandwiches sold at Costco, just more expensive. I was hoping it would be as amazing as the Starbucks bacon Gouda breakfast sandwich but no such luck. So, great coffee, but you may want to consider other options for food. read more

Stopped by for an iced mocha. I was in a hurry and couldn't stop by my regular place. I'm not one to stray from what I know, but am glad I took the chance. The drink was awesome and the barista top notch, and fast (I wasn't late to my appointment!). Pretty sure her name was Katie. I now have a new go to when in Lynnwood! read more

I have only been here a few times, the coffee isn't bad. Seems to be on the sweeter side, at least sweeter than my liking. All of the baristas I have met have been very nice. They don't have soft serve mix to make blended drinks which is a bummer. Regular milk just doesn't make it the same. I have gone twice on Wednesdays which on their sign says "double stamp day" and each time they never gave me double stamps. Which isn't the end of the world, just don't say you are gonna do it and not. read more

This place was my favorite for a long time but the past few months they have hired staff that is not experienced AT ALL.. THE girl today it took me 25 minutes to get my drink and it is clear she forgot the actual lotus cuz my drink tastes like cream, flavoring syrup and soda water.. by far the worst experience to date.. almost 9.00 thrown In the trash.. I was behind 1 other car and it took get hef 25 minutes to get me my incorrectly made drink and I got charged almost 9.00 for cream.. soda water and syrup.. I've been drinking lotus Italian sodas for a good 10 years now and know it's flavor.. SHE definately did not put it in. I'm late for work now and not about to go back and wait another 25 minutes for a correctly made drink.. guess I'll just have to get a reD bull at work. This is the second clearly NOT experienced barista they have hired in like 3 months.. I complained to management about the first one.. they did nothing.. she eventually got a little better but now this new one made me a lotus Italian soda and forgot the lotus.. ALL AFTER WAITING 25 minutes in line as the second person in line.. not to mention it was pink and leaking out the top.. luckily it didn't get on my white shirt but yeah.. this was the last straw and it's time to leave a review.. the girls before were great.. perfect.. but I rarely see them anymore .. the new girls.. not great read more

I like this place. The thing I noticed most recently, and maybe they all don't do this, but a dollar tip was AUTOMATICALLY added to my tab. I was NOT asked if this could be done. I caught this because I remember checking my charge and saw the discrepancy. Now, I would have probably said sure, BUT I don't appreciate this tactic. It's sneaky. I was disappointed. This is not the only coffee stand that this has happened. This is why I switched. I think it's just courteous to ask a customer; don't assume. And, there's nothing posted that I might have overlooked (or it was in a location out of eye sight). It's like stealing, to me. Now, I will ask for a receipt moving forward. read more

Since moving to the area I have tried almost every coffee place within a couple mile radius. This is my go-to. My regular is a nonfat white mocha iced with no whip. I started a diet so I haven't been recently but would like to stop by to see if they have sugar free syrups and keto friendly drinks. There are usually 1-2 people working at a time, sometimes the newer employees don't make my drink how I'm used to. The location is convenient and all the girls are nice.

I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to coffee stands, been to more then I can remember and count. With that said, I have nothing but good to say about this stand in particular, its very helpful to be able to walk up and get a drink without having to be in a car. The times I have came by here, the baristas are always friendly, and give great customer service. The drinks are spot on and yes it might be sneaky of tactics I seen in another review here, I will straight up defend the barista and this stand, yes they should tell you, but honestly they have earned their tip even if its a dollar. I'm a former barista myself and know what its like to go over and beyond. It always makes my day when I do happen to drop in for a drink, very friendly and conversative baristas. Highly recommend this stand if you happen be in the area. read more

I love Coffee Driven! In fact, I love it so much that even though I currently live in Mukilteo, I regularly get off the freeway on the way to work just to stop in. Destiny (who I think runs the stand) and Alyssa are usually working in the mornings when I come here, and are always so welcoming and talkative even in the dark early hours of the morning. My boyfriend and I also usually make it here at least once during the weekend as well, and the girls are also very nice and quick. They have a huge selection of different drinks and treats. There is something for everyone. My "usual" is a red bull italian soda because for some reason it tastes better here than anywhere else I go, but their coffee drinks are great as well. There's always a special and they have no problem suggesting things based on what you're feeling like for the day. They also have punch cards (buy 10, get 1 free) and double stamps on Wednesdays! I'll be moving back to Lynnwood soon, so the amount of time I come here after that might be a little embarrassing! read more

My husband was doing some shopping and I was in dire need of caffeine. Since I'm not a SBUX fan, I checked the Yelp app and came across this place. It wasn't far from Costco so I thought I'd check it out. There wasn't a queue so I was able to order and receive my coffee quickly. Full marks to the barista for being very friendly but the coffee felt a little weak for my tastes. My husband was pleased with his hot cocoa so maybe it was an off night? The reviews were stellar so I'd definitely give them another shot to see if their could earn that elusive fifth star. Oh yeah, pay cash if you can and skip the credit card fee.

I could get a very good quality boba drink for $7.50+tax elsewhere without all the fancy toppings, but with boba included. I was pretty disappointed with the quality. The boba is so overcooked that it is mushy, and the creme brulee was not thick enough that I have to use a spoon to even be able to get any of it out (instead of being able to drink it from the other side which is what it is supposed to be).

I'd have to try some of the beans before I could say if that seems justified, but I bet it might be. You can order ahead, but not only did I choose to order manually, I went inside and looked the poor kids in the eye. They all seemed to enjoy each others' company, and their nice work environment translates into a nice ambiance for relaxing with a cup. I ordered chai lattes to go, and they were boiling hot and tasted like they were from a tea bag (not the sugar-bomb concentrate that some places use). I also had a brown butter scone that was great even at room temp. They didn't get overly chatty making the drinks, but they were definitely friendly, and everything was ready quickly. Nice kid clocking off for the day even held the door for me as we went out, given that my hands were full. Honestly, if you didn't know this was a chain (albeit a small, local one), you'd think this place existed simply to caffeinate locals in the neighborhood. Everything about it has that nice neighborly, next-door vibe. They don't have anything quirky about them, really, and that huge pastry case is definitely not filled by on-site bakeries at every location. But it all still FEELS like a friendly spot down the street from home. 2 coffees and a scone were about $20 before tip. Could be better, could be worse. I'd definitely come back.

Pouring pretty daily!

Then I went to get the order and it was super easy. The packaging was unexpectedly BEAUTIFUL, making for the most impressive gift. The cookies (s'mores flavor) are literally some of the tastiest ever. They're somehow fluffy and light while also rich. They have a bit of salt to balance them, too. The cookie recipient said "now I can't have other cookies! I only want THESE cookies!"

I never really felt compelled to write a review until now. I ordered the Woodin Creek salad two weekends in a row and had to comment on the missed quality of the greens. The first time I ordered the larger portion and was discouraged to order it again, so I got the smaller portion hoping the quality could be better controlled. I always order dressings on the side and it truly is for this reason alone, you can observe the freshness of the salad bed. This was from the salad this past weekend but the one prior was no different. Having to eat around my food, having it placed to the side and our servers not addressing the clear quality issues is disheartening. Green goo in our salad is a no-go for us.

Stopped by this coffee stand for the first time on my way to the Lynnwood Library this weekend. Pleasantly surprised to find out they make a great cup of coffee. I ordered an iced latte and my husband got his usual double americano. Both were delicious and the customer service was professional and family friendly unlike a lot of coffee stands these days. We will definately be back. read more

Awesome service! Friendly and cheerful baristas that will answer any questions about the menu and…read morethoroughly take your order so your drink is right. I appreciated the attention to detail. My drink was super tasty! This coffee shop is easy to get to with windows on both sides in a parking lot near restaurants. I ordered a 20oz iced macadamia mocha made with hemp milk and light ice. Drink was made perfectly and was super yummy. Only confusing thing was on my receipt I noticed a $0.60 cent cup fee. I didn't know about this, if I return I will bring my personal cup but wish they had a sign or encourage customers verbally to bring our own cups in because I'm not sure if they let you. Some places allow personal cups some don't so I'll have to ask if I return when I'm in the area. Also noticed a card fee so I'll try to remember if I return to bring cash.. My drink was still so good and service was great so besides those charges no complaints. Would recommend and would return :)

Absolutely ridiculous experience. I went in today and I paid $15 for two 24 oz Lotuses, and BOTH…read moredrinks were made with the wrong flavors. I asked if they could please remake them, which I feel is a pretty reasonable request considering I paid for something I didn't receive. The employee had the nastiest attitude about it, like I was somehow bothering her by asking her to correct an order that SHE got wrong. No apology, no attempt to actually provide decent customer service--just attitude. And somehow, after she "remade" them, BOTH DRINKS STILL TASTED LIKE THE WRONG FLAVORS. So I paid $15, had my order made incorrectly twice, and got treated like I was the problem for pointing it out. If you're going to charge $15 for two drinks, you should probably be able to make the drinks correctly. And if you screw up someone's order, the least you can do is fix it without treating them like absolute shit. $15 wasted, drinks still wrong, and customer service was somehow even worse than the drinks. Never again.

In long I'm in this neighborhood regularly these days, and this might be the best of the coffee spots I've tried so far. They're right at Five Corners, and they probably crank all morning. In recent days I've certainly stolen parking from them after they close, 'cause they share the parking with two of the best restaurants in Edmonds. They're much bigger than the garden sheds you see as coffee spots sometimes. Probably room for a TV and an easy chair in there for when it's slow. They have the usual lineup of coffees, some teas, and what might be a pretty good pastry list, though I wasn't eating today. The kid working today was super warm and friendly in a pleasantly relaxed way. My Americano was ready in no time. Cost a few pennies more for 2 shots than some place, but the coffee tasted a fair bit better. Pretty chocolatey for black coffee. She had me out the door and on in my way before ya know it. Much as I like constantly trying new places, I might have to come back here--even before I run out of places to try.
