    Came here before our flight. Super cute coffee shop. The employee at the front was helpful and I appreciate his recommendations! I ended up getting the Dubai chocolate macha. It was so yummy! Highly recommend it!

    Korean banana something. It was incredible. Get it.

    Location was awesome a beautiful view of Spokane if you just walk around the back, friendly staff, and the coffee itself was really good. Got a Korean banana latte (I think) and it was incredible. One of the best coffees I've ever had.

    Awesome coffee in Spokane! Located in a shared space of Fitness Fleet in Kendall Yards the space is small inside with a few tables. However, we didn't have a problem finding a place to sit since most customers were getting their coffee to-go. If you check-in on Yelp you get 10% off any of the drinks. I saw on the menu they had a Butterscotch Latte, so ordered an iced one with oat milk. The housemade butterscotch syrup made all the difference; it had a slight burnt caramel flavor to it, which I loved! For any butterscotch fans, this is the drink to try. The espresso was also very good and strong, and was glad I could still taste a lot of the coffee flavor throughout. My friend bought a bag of beans, so she was able to get a free drink. The menu has a good amount of specialty drinks, as well as classic ones you'd find anywhere else. There is a 50 cent upcharge for non-dairy milk, which is way cheaper than anywhere in Seattle. I'm glad we visited this wonderful coffee shop, serving quality coffee and making a commitment in supporting its local community. When you buy a bag of coffee you buy a meal for someone in need.

    Tucked inside a Fleet Feet store, it's easy to feel comforted by all of the background noise. It's a really great location to stop in and grab a to go cup and walk around Kendall Yards. The only reason that they are not a 5/5 is that there is limited seating inside. They have only three tables and they only really accommodate one person. It's a great place to work, if you can find a table. You have to know what to expect walking in. They have free WiFi you just have to ask for the password. Their menu changes with the season and the prices are moderate. It's good coffee, I just got the straight black because I think you can tell a lot about a place just based on their standard cup of black coffee. It was good, no complaints. The service was fast and friendly!

    Matcha latte

    I came here for coffee but was almost sidetracked by the Saucony trail running shoes on display, as Indaba shares this big open space with Fleet Feet. I almost missed out on the coffee and was going to try on some shoes, but the hubby saved me just in time. Focus, focus. The first time I came here, it was the day before St. Patrick's day, so I ordered a matcha latte for its lovely green color, which wasn't the best one I've ever had but certainly acceptable. I sat at a small table and was continually sidetracked by the running store. There was this one customer who tried on about four different pairs of shoes and then went running around the block to try them out. Nevertheless, my book sat idle, as it was more fun people watching. I've also had a cappuccino here, requesting it to be on the hot side, but it was still just on the warm side. Maybe the temperature of my mouth is off with the cold weather. Maybe the owner has been burnt by a lawsuit in the past. I just prefer my drink to be hot. Back to the seating--if you are like me and are easily distracted, though, you might want to venture upstairs for addition seats and a more comfy area.

    Latte and matcha latte.

    This coffee shop shares its existence with Fleet Feet so you can enjoy a cup of coffee and then get fitted for a new pair of running shoes (Saucony shoes rock). They placed this Indaba smack in the center of the Kendall Yards neighborhood. (Smart move!) There is actual free parking directly in front of the store. It's always interesting that similar establishments cluster around each other. That is no exception in this case as there are at least four other coffee shops within walking distance of this one. The clientele, when we were here, was a mixture of athletic-looking people who wanted coffee while choosing new shoes as well as people having a morning coffee with friends. A nice mixture.

    Seasonal Drinks! yummmm
    David G.

    Yummy place for some gooood chai tea. They actually got spicy chai which lots of places don't have and its actually spicy, I could feel it burning down my throat! It's kinda loud inside and the barista was very quiet so I had to get her to repeat 3 times that I wanted hemp milk in my drink. The seasonal drink menu is definitely worth checking out, they got candy cane cold brew! I love the little cookies they offer as well they are gluten free and very very rich, I took 3 bites of the ginger one and was done for the day. The coffee beans and syrups are high quality at this place some brand called Twenty Two, I never herd of but looks delicious. The only weird thing is the coffee shop is merged with a shoe store so while I was waiting in line the shoe sales rep thought i wanted to look at some shoes and started talking to me, yikes. If you see some nerd with a coffee and laptop sitting in the corner you know this place got good coffee, check it out!

    Absolutely delicious coffee and tea. Our iced vanilla soy milk latte and iced peppermint tea was perfect on a hot day. Loved all of the vegan and gluten free pastry and cookie options. Friendly staff were helpful and kind. We appreciate this fine coffee and tea place in close proximity to other amazing foods, shops, and with a river view as well. We will return again and again.

    I walked in, unaware that I would soon be tasting the best iced ammericano of my life. I was greeted kindly as I stood nervously thinking to myself, "maybe I should have just made coffee at home." A few short moments later I had put my order in and the two coffee artists worked seamlessly together creating my drink. It was a breathtaking experience seeing their chizzled, skilled hands creating such a work of art. I noticed the double shot was on point, just the right color and body as it oozed out of the portafilter. I swiped my card, still amazed at what work of art graced my eyes. Then the baristas each whispered something, (sounded almost like elvish) to my drink and slowly set it in front of me. The sips that followed were something I hold precious still to this day. I hope other weary coffee lovers looking for a new experience will stumble upon indaba kendel yards for years to come. Thank you

    16 oz Matcha Latte

    Checked out this place today for their Grand Opening and the deal of 50% off of coffee! Kendall Yards is a new and hip area of Spokane which definitely appeals to the crowd with the vast choices of dining and stores. I've been to several places around here and was interested to see whether this could be a potential study space. Walking into the store, it was very inviting. What threw me off a bit was seeing that it was a shared space with Fleet Fleet (Athletic store). The coffee shop is a basic set up with a order station and a pick up station. The barista's were very friendly and made ordering very simple. The menu isn't too large which is great in my opinion. I tried the Matcha Latte which was very matcha tasting haha. Definitely a different taste from what I am normally used to but it was still good. It was nice to be able to watch the baristas make my drink as well as pour in the milk foam at the end of the process. I moved to the space upstairs which was very modern looking. I do think this would be a nice place to study for an hour or two but not really a place to stay for a long time (in my case). The coffee shop was more of an area to have small talk with friends or hang out to read a few articles but the tables are definitely too small to have space to study with my study habits of spreading everything out lol. Def a place to check out if you're around the area. Rating it a 4ish/5 because the matcha drink tasted a bit watered down, possibly due to use of whole milk? I definitely will be coming back to try their espresso though. Also was not really sure if there was any Wifi for this area? I had xfinitywifi connected but wasn't aware that this coffee shop offered a Wifi password or anything.

    Chai latte
    Jenny T.

    Very good cup of coffee. Went out of my box and ordered the lemon vanilla latte. At first I was overwhelmed with the lemon flavor, but after a few sips I found it a delight alternative to my normal nonfat latte. My dining companion enjoyed the chi latte and liked it.

    Colin C.

    Well done on the espresso roast which translates to a very good latte. Nice vibe here, great staff. Fresh baked goods and the smell of coffee blends with an eclectic clientele. Will be back!

(Unfortunately I literally live on the other side of the country, so before my trip to Spokane ended I made it a point to stop by Atticus multiple times.) The gift shop portion of the store stocks what feels like a little bit of everything. Books, stickers, soaps, lotions, trinkets, home decor, t-shirts, art, books, cards, chocolates...and that's just what I remember! And then the coffee shop portion has a surprisingly large menu. I'm used to coffee shops in stores being more like small coffee stands; but nope, this operation feels like a fully stocked coffee shop. Plus they also serve tea, matcha, and smoothies...and breakfast sandwiches, AND pastries. As you might imagine: this all makes the store smell quite good! There aren't a ton of seats but when I visited with family, we managed to find a couple tables so we could enjoy our drinks and snacks sitting down. Their coffee is very, very tasty - I tried both hot and iced lattes during my multiple visits. I didn't have tea on-site but I did buy some of their blends to brew at home, and they are also very, very tasty. Unfortunately they don't do online sales, and since I was traveling I didn't have the space to pack up everything I wanted to take home with me. Maybe future me will have the chance to come back...in the meantime, I hope you lucky locals appreciate this place as much as I did!
