The coolest thing about this spot seems to be their rotating specials year round! The lucky charms cold foam my book bestie described from their last year's St. Patrick's day menu sounded drool-worthy. I was super excited to try their Valentine's day offerings. The woman at the counter who took my order was so sweet. She helped me put together the perfect custom drink for me: a 16 oz oat milk dark chocolate mocha with raspberry syrup and raspberry cold foam on top! It was delicious, I loved how fluffy and sweet the cold foam was and the dark chocolate in the mocha was delectably rich. I was also super excited about their diverse pastry selection! I've never seen a raspberry cornetto before and I was super excited to order it. I loved that it was literally like having a croissant with jam which is one of my fave breakfasts! One of my pet peeves is when croissants are too flaky and hard to tear apart with your fingers, but this one was super easy to tear apart and eat, though it still was fairly messy. The cosy atmosphere made it easy for me and my book bestie to spend hours chatting over our drinks. I love the huge windows that allow for so much natural light an incredible view of Mount Sci. I'd definitely love to come back with my watercolours and paint it. Since this is my book bestie's fave coffee shop spot, I'm sure we'll be back here soon! I'm super excited to keep exploring their seasonal drinks.

Extremely Disappointing Customer Service…read more We stopped at Huxdotter Coffee in North Bend on Friday and ordered a 16 oz PBJ Smoothie, a 16 oz Mango Smoothie, and a ham and cheese croissant through the drive-through. At the window, we received the croissant and the 16 oz PBJ Smoothie, but were handed a 12 oz Mango Smoothie. We immediately pointed out that the drink was the wrong size. Rather than simply acknowledging the mistake and correcting the order, the employee told us that the order had been entered as a 12 oz drink. We reiterated that we had specifically ordered a 16 oz Mango Smoothie. Instead of saying something as simple as, "I'm sorry, we'll remake that for you," we were told that she would have to refund the original charge and then charge us again for the 16 oz drink. Seriously? Apparently, Huxdotter has developed an innovative new approach to customer service: If we make a mistake, the customer gets to fix it. The mistake wasn't ours. We ordered a 16 oz drink, and the employee or the person taking the order entered it incorrectly. Yet instead of taking responsibility for the error and providing the customer service one would reasonably expect, we were essentially given a bureaucratic explanation of why correcting their mistake was going to require additional transactions. We were on our way to an appointment and didn't have time to wait around sorting out an issue that should have taken less than a minute to resolve. We simply said, "Never mind," and left. What is especially disappointing is that this wasn't about the cost of a smoothie. It was about how the situation was handled. Mistakes happen. Good businesses acknowledge them, apologize, and make them right. Telling the customer that they have to go through a refund and repurchase process because the business entered the order incorrectly is simply poor customer service. Unfortunately, this experience left such a bad impression that we won't be going back. There are plenty of coffee shops willing to treat their customers better.

It is a triple berry blend of raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry with a scoop of hand-whipped cream. The pie was not sweet which was perfect for us. Paired with the sweeter whipped cream makes it a great combination for those who are looking for a sweet dessert. The lady here was kind and gave us quality service and samples. Would definitely come here again for more pies soon. Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Food: 10/10

The Food was odd, like my mother used to take left overs and blend them on her plate. Chicken Curry was more like a fajita bowl the, chicken was curry esk and missed on any deeper curry flavors, curry seasoning one note topped sour cream and a sticky plain rice. Just make fajitas if you don't have time Chef. Appetizers we had the Chicken wings with Franks Hot Sauce and Chunky Blue Cheese. The Baked Goat cheese was great , Delicious! The Burgers were made well and fries big wide cut, fried to a crispy perfection. My husband ordered Milk n Cookies, 2 huge cookies made well. My son and I got the fruit shivers they are good and a bit large so maybe share. I would rather see a separate dinner menu with skilled cooking. Steak?

Sometimes I get nice, polite cashiers and others complete stone cold and rude. Most of the employees are Caucasian (probably due to the local population). I am a person of Color. Ironically there is one POC employee, a young tall man, I believe is Indian, who played Chicken with me with his large utility cart used for stocking shelves. He blocked me in an aisle where there is room for only one. It was him and his large cart vs. me and my small shopping cart. He pressed forward, forcing me to backup. Wow incredibly rude and disrespectful.
