Their hot apple cider was a perfect to-go beverage on a chilly fall day! My husband ordered the honey blossom latte, while I had the hot cider. Both beverages were good, nothing too unique or special as far as flavor, but at least very delicious and piping hot. Just what we were looking for. It's located in the square so you can people watch and decide on the next shop you want to go into while you wait for your coffee. The barista was quick and friendly, too! read more

Cute walk-up window for coffee on one of the main streets in the area. The baristas were nice and made our drinks quickly. I would note that the espresso had a good profile, however the ratios of the drink were off. Ended up finishing a 16oz iced latte within a few sips and the last sip was nearly all syrup with a touch of milk. read more

J5 is a walk-up coffee bar with a good menu and knowledgeable baristas. We were in Leavenworth for a few days and i wanted to get for a walk. I sauntered up to J5 just as they opened - the barista was polite, kind, and made a great latte as well as a good/abwrage traditional cappuccino - the capp was more hybrid of italian/american but it worked. Highly recommend if you don't mind getting it to go! read more

I am always thrilled when I get the opportunity to try new coffee shops. J5 has 2 locations in town, but the walk-up window was the only one open during our weekend there. I got an iced bourbon maple and he got an americano with cream. I adore maple-flavored things, so when I saw this on their menu, I knew exactly what to try. It was delicately sweet and had a smooth coffee flavor. A perfect balance. The line can get long, but that serves as motivation to get your day started and hop in line early! I highly highly recommend it! read more

Stopped by this window to grab a quick coffee, but the line was very slow moving. Didn't really mind since I was excited to try their coffee, but my order ultimately left me disappointed. Got the bourbon maple latte, and after a sip I had to go back and ask if I got the right order as it just tasted like a sweet latte. They said it was the right one, and offered to add another pump of the syrup which was nice of them, but it just ended up adding more sweetness vs any other flavor read more

Anytime we're out in the new city we always like to stop by a local coffee shop and see what the vibe is like. This place was a solid spot to caffeinated. It's located in the heart of the downtown corridor and they have two locations including a normal size shop in this smaller,But very convenient to go type shop. The first thing that caught my eyes were the different types of lattes that they have. The maple bourbon one looks good, but ultimately ended up grabbing a coffee blossom latte or rather a coffee blossom Americano. It was affectively an Americano with some local honey. It was very impressive! My better half had some tea, and while it's just leaf water, it's always nice to have some options. They had a pretty nice array of both floral and standard teas. They were very efficient in getting us in and out, and were very positive throughout the whole experience. It's right on the main thoroughfare through the downtown, so it's a very nice place to stop halfway through or after getting ice cream when you need to warm up! A shout out to whistlepunk ice cream next-door, you should definitely stop there before or after. Great spot for some delicious coffee where they're thinking a little bit outside the box! read more

This is my second trip to Leavenworth. The first time I tried this place, I knew I need to get another round of caffeine from them when I get back, and yes! I did on my second trip. During my first trip, We had Caramel Macchiato, Latte and Chai tea latte. The baristas made it so well! There is a good bance betwee the milk, coffee and sugar! Anyway, 5 star for the service - The lady behind the counter is friendly and attentive 5 star for the taste - Perfect balance of all the flavors! Must try the Chai tea latte! 4 star for the price - Not too pricey and not too cheap, but I guess, It is definely worth the try! read more

Theres also plenty of merchandise inside the coffee shop too, and all seem to be of great quality which is a plus. My favorite thing about this place is the business model. Gratuity is not expected. It's listed that the workers there get a living wage and a percentage of the daily sales. More a reason to support this local establishment.

They also sell and ship their fudge online. My favorite fudge flavor is the chocolate peanut butter. I've also tried the s'mores and it was delicious!

The back room houses the main bakery counter, along with gingerbread houses, themed merchandise, and treats lining the walls. They offer cookies, cupcakes, croissants, ice cream, and more! - Coffee Chip Ice Cream -- one of my all-time favorite flavors, with bold espresso notes and rich chocolate chips. My family and I ended up playing a round of Catan at one of the tables. Such a cozy way to enjoy our dessert! The line moved quickly, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop for a sweet treat and a taste of gingerbread magic!

If you have ANY German blood in you or WISH you did, or just appreciate good pastry, do NOT pass…read morethis one by. I saw cakes I hadn't seen in decades, the owner has the perfect German accent and the samples of the German rye bread will make you yodel for your own loaf to take home! I was so excited I completely forgot to ask for mine sliced! I guess I'll have to have irregular thickness pieces but the flavor is soo worth it! Great service super nice people!!

We absolutely love this bakery and stop in every time we are in Leavenworth! With my husband having…read morea German mother, he spent his childhood there, and we've perused several bakeries in town--this is the only truly authentic one. The bakery is old and small with limited seating, which actually reminds us of the authentic grab-and-go spots in Germany. We always go for the Bienenstich (bee sting cake). The server at the counter was really sweet and helpful; she cut us a big 'ole slice knowing we were sharing. We devoured that incredible slice, which delivered a perfect bite of creamy vanilla custard nestled between soft yeast cake and a crunchy, caramelized honey-almond topping. The contrast of the smooth filling and the sticky, nutty 'sting' makes for a truly memorable dessert experience, perfect every time. We also snagged a mini pretzel loaf. We were only missing mustard, but honestly, my husband said it was so good it didn't even need anything. It was fun to see the baker hard at work making bread, and the whole place smelled amazing. If you go, get there early--they sell out fast!
