Have returned here multiple times since my last review, and I am still satisfied with the different flavors of all the drinks! I personally like sweet, syrup heavy drinks, so I'm happy with the selection! When there is a line, it does take a bit, with only one person working, but that has only happened to be a couple of times. read more

came here today (3/23) and ordered 6 drinks, immediately apologized to the barista for the big ordered and she rolled her eyes and gave an attitude when asking what the drinks were, i ordered two vanilla 12 oz vanilla lattes, hot chocolate 16, 24 almond milk mocha, 16 iced caramel macchiato, and a 24 redbull. The vanilla lattes had absolutely no vanilla in them and the shots were burnt and the drinks were warm with ABSOLUTELY NO ICE. The caramel macchiato had so much vanilla and with no ice again was warm. The almond milk mocha was the worse, the almond milk tasted burnt, there was no mocha syrup and was overall so nasty. I would not recommend coming here and spending your money to just receive bad attitude and bad drinks. read more

Best little coffee stand in the area. It's a super cute drive thru with easy access to two drive up windows. Baristas know what they are doing and won't keep you waiting long. Yummy drinks!! My favorite drink from here is a 24oz iced mocha with Oat milk and 3 shots of espresso. Delicious read more

Great coffee and an even greater coffee crew!! A cute little drive through in Kenmore that we chanced upon, while in the area. We ordered their Tuxedo Mocha and Aloha Mocha. The tuxedo mocha was a new flavour - white chocolate, dark chocolate and espresso. The aloha one had traces of coconut with milk chocolate and espresso. Really good drinks and they even offer to customize the sweetness for a few options. Lots of quick snack options available. We got a bagel warmed up with cream cheese to go. Special shout out to the barista. She was super friendly and talked to us the whole time we waited. Also offered biscuits for my dogs. Would love to get back here and try their other menu options! read more

A great lil espresso stand that tailors your coffee drink to your desires without the attitude. The white chocolate caramel iced mocha isn't short on calories but it's big on taste. I like supporting the small coffee stands more than Starbuck's. Excellent service and wonderful smiles. You can drive up either on the north or south sides for convenience. read more

It's not a difficult drink, iced carmel sauce Americano splash of cream, but it is easy to burn a shot etc. My drink is always good, never burnt and the workers are super friendly.

I usually only write a review if I have have a 5 star review, and this is no exception. Under new ownership. As a biz owner myself, I like that it is woman owned, and guys, she's not hard on the eyes. Definitely not the "slut hut" kind of place though, thank goodness. The fact that I can get sugar-free and dairy/soy free = heaven! Better prices than the chains around too. In the same lot as the post office, and totally worth the slight detour off of Bothell Way. They serve Smith brother's dairy, plus soy, rice, almond and coconut milks. Even dairy free whipped cream! They alos have cookies, scones, etc. My dogs just like the free treats.

Probably my favorite place to get coffee or chai. They are one of the rare places that stocks both hemp and almond milk. And to boot make great drinks hot or iced. I've personally not yet had a burnt or sour tasting drink. Pretty surprised since most places disappoint in one category or another. And then on top of all of that they have a great selection of snacks. Even gluten-free. Again, easily my favorite place to get coffee. read more

As said the service was fine but the food - hearth roasted mushroom frittata and breakfast burrito - was decidedly bland and under seasoned. Frittata was covered with an excessive mound of arugula. While peppery, it's asking a lot of arugula to carry/cover for a bland unseasoned water bath baked egg concoction with minimal caramelized onions and flavorless mushrooms. Desperately needs some herbs, garlic or strong cheese, some crisp edges... something. A side of chicken apple sausage was just okay. Breakfast burrito was disappointing in its own ways. Tortilla was gelatinously clinging together as if it had been prepared in advance, then reheated, and covered in what was called salsa but was more akin to basic excessively mild tomato enchilada sauce. The carnitas pork was unseasoned and dry. Potatoes were soft and lacking a crisp element that would have helped immensely. The only place salt seemed to show up was in the salted maple latte and in that it was a bit heavy. Likely not stopping back anytime soon.
