I am almost afraid to write this review as I'd like to keep this little coffee shop under the radar…read morebecause of how good it is. The staff here all know how to make a good latte, as in, I've never had one that's bad. I make this my go to spot when I am in town visiting family nearby. They also have a pretty amazing bacon chive bagel breakfast sandwich. It's chewy, it's hot, it's flavorful and it's also perfectly crispy with the cheese on the outside. Highly recommend if you're nearby that you swing by this little shop. It's behind a Shell, around the corner building is the best way to enter, but watch for the giant pothole! Also be mindful of the nearby driveway and don't block that either. Also, if there's a line, they move it along pretty quickly.

I used to love going to RVC. The flavor profiles are good and majority of the staff I thought were…read morenice. unfortunately I haven't been since my father and I visited the 11016 Puyallup location and a barista twirled her finger in my father's drink, took our drinks away from the counter and was hiding behind a corner. My father still paid because he didn't want to cause a scene and hadn't informed me until we left. We had to toss the drinks unfortunately and visited another coffee shop. I reported it and heard nothing back this was about 2 months ago. Update: RVC claims I had not emailed them, and correction on my part it was over a month ago. I emailed the info@rvcoffee.com and the Puyallup location directly and told them to check their cameras. While I was a regular and know that the counters are "large" I also know when suspicious behavior occurs. I tried giving the barista the benefit of the doubt due to being a regular but given the way the owner just responded which was highly dismissive and minimized our experience, it just made it clear you guys don't actually care but want to save face. The website also doesn't give clear information on who to reach out to in regard to any customer experience but I did absolutely email you guys to 2 different emails and I did try calling the phone number but no call would go through to number attached to business.

I've been in before for a glass of wine and live music and have to say the ambiance is very cozy and inviting as well. Great little spot in Maple Valley!

I ordered a vanilla latte and asked if they could use whole milk, but they only had 2% milk. The barista told me she could "make" whole milk for me by mixing the 2% with half and half so i said sure. I don't think I would ever do that again because the latte hardly tasted like coffee at all it was very odd. Although customer service was great and the person helping us was really friendly.. the latte was not good. I don't see myself coming back if I am ever in the area. Also the prices on the menu are not at all accurate and should be updated :(

Have a variety of snacks, and they have a good wine list. The happy hour prices are very reasonable. Haven't used the drive thru as I prefer to sit there. The patio is nice when the weather allows! Plenty parking around the vicinity.

CHAYEN COFFEE: AN IDENTITY CRISIS IN CAFFEINE FORM…read more Let me start by saying their Vietnamese coffee is an absolute masterpiece - the condensed milk ratio is so perfect it could make a barista weep tears of perfectly filtered water. BUT CAN WE ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM? This is NOT, I repeat, NOT the wild west-themed Wyoming coffee experience my brain desperately wanted it to be. Do you understand my disappointment when I walked in, fully decked out in my authentic 1880s frontier attire, spurs jingling with anticipation, only to discover there wasn't a single piece of barbed wire decor or vintage Wyoming license plate in sight? I had practiced my frontier coffee ordering accent for WEEKS. "One black coffee, pardner" - WASTED. Their egg coffee? Transcendent. The way they blend the egg yolk creates a custard-like texture that's basically heaven in liquid form. BUT WHERE ARE THE HISTORICAL PHOTOS OF CHEYENNE'S FIRST RAILROAD DEPOT? I brought my great-grandfather's Union Pacific timetables for NOTHING. Sure, their premium tea selection would make an emperor bow in respect, but let's talk about what's really important: I came here fully expecting to learn about Wyoming's territorial history while sipping coffee from a tin cup. Instead, I'm drinking from elegant ceramic cups with actual proper temperature control. THE AUDACITY. The staff's expertise in traditional Vietnamese brewing methods is outstanding, absolutely. But you know what they CAN'T tell me? The exact date when Cheyenne's first saloon opened. I had an entire conversation prepared about 19th-century Wyoming coffee consumption patterns. My research about frontier coffee grinding techniques? USELESS. Their cold brew is steeped for exactly 18 hours to achieve optimal flavor complexity. Whatever. I spent 18 hours creating a historically accurate map of 1867 Cheyenne's coffee shops (there were none - it was all saloons) for this visit. Now what am I supposed to do with it? Five stars for their phenomenal coffee program - their traditional Vietnamese brewing techniques are flawless. But MINUS several imaginary stars for not being the niche Wyoming-themed establishment my geographically confused brain invented. I've started a support group for other people who came here expecting to discuss Wyoming territorial governance while drinking coffee. We meet weekly at the library's Wyoming history section, sipping their excellent Vietnamese coffee and coming to terms with our misplaced expectations. P.S. I heard they're adding new seasonal drinks next month. I'm trying really hard not to assume they're named after Wyoming landmarks. (But if they want my list of potential frontier-themed beverage names, I have 47 pages ready to go.) P.P.S. The pastries are amazing too, though distinctly lacking in sourdough biscuits and frontier trail mix. But seriously, their croissants are so good I almost forgot about my planned dissertation on the role of coffee in the Wyoming Stock Growers Association circa 1884. Note: To the staff who patiently explained that "Chayen" is not a misspelling of "Cheyenne" - I apologize for bringing in my detailed presentation about Wyoming state capitol architecture. But I still think your excellent coffee would taste even better served in a tin cup next to a replica stagecoach. Just saying.

Tried their drinks at the Fairwood Night Market and both the Thai ice tea and Thai Green Tea Latte…read more(was more of a floral taste like jasmine green tea) were both delicious. Customer service was spot on and very nice. They have a lot of other drinks like coffee, etc. and have other milk substitutes like almond and oat milk. Would order again next time we see them! Definitely recommend!

I've just read the first 6 or 7 feedbacks and they were ALL TRUE in my experiences as well…read more Same problems I've had every time I go to this worst Starbucks ever and I've been a daily customer for 40 years! I am new to Covington and almost all 4 Starbucks I've gone to were bad except this one being written up is the WORST. baristas always manage to fill my oat milk latte to 3/4 way up the cup instead of producing a full cup. Customers pay a good sum for their lattes/drinks so do it right! My latte would taste like water even with a triple shot grande it made very little difference. Staff chit chatting with each other while customers wait. Also, 8 out of 10 times a barista would mess up my drink and ordered items. Then the worst part was having baristas with sweaty palms or heavy perfume placing their whole palm on the lid of my cup to close it tighter. That happened several times not just in this Starbucks but in other stores as well. Yet another one that could easily be fixed is by training your baristas/staff NOT to place or touch the lid particularly the zippy mouth piece that a user drinks out of. The lid is always wet with huge droplets or splashes of water on the inside of the lid. I've had to throw out the lattes twice as they tasted so bad (like licking someone's sweats or drinking perfumed infused latte!!

This is one of my 2 favorite Starbucks and one of only 2 reasons I stay with Starbucks instead of…read moreGravity or another competitor. I only ever had one employee who was less than friendly. The employee isn't "unfriendly" more stoic and straight to the point. There's nothing wrong with that...I'm positive she's efficient. Then she changed my mind. I went thru the drivethru and couldn't get the app to work and couldn't pay cause I didn't have my gold card. She just handed me the drinks after I insisted she hold them, I go back home a block away, and come back and pay. She said it will be our secret. I was embarrassed and a lil ashamed I thought she wasn't friendly before. That was incredibly kind, unnecessary, and truly won me over. I do agree with other customer reviews that when I order a venti I truly only get a grande after the foam settles. That's why I give this location 8/10 recommend.

FARMHOUSE BREW: WHERE'S MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT GOAT?…read more Look, their pour-over coffee is nothing short of miraculous - each cup personally blessed by what I assume must be artisanal coffee angels. BUT WHERE ARE THE BABY GOATS IN PAJAMAS? I arrived fully expecting to sip my artisanal latte while a miniature donkey named Espresso gently headbutted my knee for attention. Their single-origin Ethiopian roast? Divine. The tasting notes include hints of blueberry and jasmine. You know what DOESN'T include blueberry and jasmine? THE CONSPICUOUS ABSENCE OF A CHICKEN COOP NEXT TO THE SUGAR STATION. I brought three different types of organic chicken feed IN CASE THEY HAD A PREFERENCE. Sure, their cold brew is steeped for 19 hours in pristine mountain water collected by monks. But let's talk about what's really important: I've been here SEVEN TIMES and have yet to see a single sheep wearing a hand-knitted sweater waddle up to me asking for oat milk foam leftovers. I even bought a tiny shepherd's crook FOR NOTHING. The baristas can discuss coffee terroir with PhD-level precision, but can they tell me why there isn't a pot-bellied pig named Lord Bacon III greeting customers at the door? I specifically came wearing my rubber boots today, prepared to stand in authentic farm mud while ordering my cappuccino. Their seasonal spiced latte is a masterpiece of flavor balance. Whatever. I've been sitting here for two hours and not once has a heritage breed rooster named Colonel Clucksworth interrupted my laptop time with his perfectly timed morning crow. The ambiance is SEVERELY lacking in authentic farm chaos. Listen, the recycled barn wood aesthetic is cute and all, but you can't just slap some Edison bulbs on a ceiling and call yourself "Farmhouse" without providing at least ONE alpaca in a bow tie who judges people's coffee orders with gentle humming sounds. Five stars for their coffee program - their commitment to craft is undeniable. But NEGATIVE FARM ANIMAL stars for creating false hopes of being able to share my morning scone with a dairy cow named Ms. Moochiato. I've started a petition to add at least a small petting zoo corner. So far I have three signatures, including one that might just be a coffee stain that looks like a signature. P.S. I heard they're expanding their patio next month. I've already drafted architectural plans that include a miniature barn where therapy chickens can host coffee cupping sessions. I'm willing to negotiate on the chicken sweater designs. P.P.S. The pastries are excellent, though they would taste demonstrably better if delivered by a pygmy goat wearing a tiny apron and name tag. I've done the research - goat-delivered croissants increase customer satisfaction by 427%. Note: To the staff who keep explaining that "Farmhouse" refers to their rustic aesthetic - I understand, but have you considered that your tip jar would overflow if you just added one (1) baby lamb in rain boots who helps steam milk? Just one. That's all I'm asking for. I already have the rain boots in three sizes. Special Addendum: I'm not saying your business model is flawed, but I am saying that every coffee shop is improved by the addition of a miniature horse barista apprentice named Macchiato McFoamerson III.
