    Mocha's (Lavender and traditional)

    If you are looking for a place that believes in quality food and drinks at a reasonable price, look no further! Alex and his Team provide great customer service as well as a cozy spot to enjoy their delicious creations! We enjoyed a couple of coffees with our Biscuit Benny and Strawberry French Toast prepared by the amazing Miss Anna. We will definitely be back!

    Iced cortado

    Cute little cafe in Everett! The coffee was super good - we ordered the iced Cortado, but definitely want to come back for the iced cappuccino! The food was also great & super fresh, we tried the breakfast burrito and the breakfast biscuits. Both were extremely fresh and tasty! The service was also great, food came out at decent time even though it was very busy! Seating is slightly limited but we were able to get a table before food arrived

    My Cortado was perfect...

    What can you say about Narrative Coffee that hasn't already been said? If you want a truly well-made, great-tasting, beautifully presented coffee drink, this is the place. Staff is always friendly; ambiance is great - cozy. Whenever I'm downtown Everett, I make it a point to stop by Narrative.

    You'd never know how incredible the food is here if you grew up around Everett. My boyfriend was a little standoffish because of how he remembered the area years back. But once we walked into Narrative coffee he was so surprised at how clean and delicious the food was. It's a scratch kitchen, fresh breads and biscuits. The ham and cheese sandwich was so good and the coffee options were so fun!

    Nice friend cafe with great options for a quick breakfast. The avocado toast was delicious with a side of real bacon. Nice cozy moment with the husband's chi and my tea. Great customer service with an inviting atmosphere.

    Avocado toasts
    Nicole P.

    I got their seasonal pumpkin spice latte and avocado toast and both were delicious! I liked how their latte wasn't super sweet, and the avocado toast had a lot of flavor. The place itself was also very cute - it had red brick and was a large space! Overall, I would definitely recommend checking it out!

    Decaf oat milk latte

    Gluten free biscuits tdf - SO yummy! For food, I got the buttermilk biscuit sandwich on a gluten free biscuit and L got the biscuit egg and cheese. For drinks, I got a decaf oat milk latte and L got a limewired. Everything was delicious - I was not a fan of the limewired but L said it was refreshing and tasted better as she drank it - but it was a very expensive outing. It's a very nice environment though, record playing in an open space with lovely staff!

    Excellent experience at Narrative Coffee. This place absolutely lives up to the hype. The breakfast was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor--perfectly cooked eggs, crisp bacon, great bread, and quality sides that clearly aren't an afterthought. The coffee was equally strong--smooth, well-balanced, and exactly what you want to start the day. Everything felt intentional, from the menu execution to the presentation. The atmosphere is warm and inviting without being pretentious, and service was friendly and efficient even during a busy morning. A great spot for breakfast or brunch, and one I'll gladly return to.

    A subpar experience. We ordered The Wetmore Sandwich and the Ham & Gruyere Sandwich. However, we ended up receiving a Grilled Cheese sandwich instead the Ham one. We kept the Grilled Cheese and they offered a refund for the Ham one, which was understanding and kind of them. The Wetmore sandwich tasted decent, but was lacking in protein and not worth the price. The service was unfortunately very slow too

    Buttermilk Biscuit GF
    Georgina N.

    I got a 8oz Latte and Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich with a gluten free biscuit. I absolutely LOVE that they have gluten free options but $3 extra just for a GF biscuit is insane to me. The food was good and it was the best GF biscuit I've had, I just can't justify the price. The code was good, not amazing but I drank it all. The service was great! The cashier/barista was very friendly and offered recommendations. After tip my total was $23 I really like interior and vibes of the place. I wouldn't not come again due to the price but it was delicious so if ur a bug biscuit fan I would definitely try it out!

    My sad sandwich
    Mahaylah E.

    Cute place way over priced. We are in Everett not downtown Seattle. Why did a breakfast sandwich and 4oz coffee cost me 27 bucks? Foods fair but prices are outrageous. You have to pay extra for meat so to my surprise I'm eating a biscuit with cheese and egg nothing else.

    Smoked salmon toast

    Wow! This adorable little cafe takes you right out of Everett! The coffee is delicious and they order it from reputable roasters. The food was also a pleasant surprise! Fresh and tasty with wonderful flavors. Love this little cafe!

    Biscuit sandwich
    Brittany F.

    What a pleasant surprise. Strolled in here on a Sunday morning. Super cute place. Clientle were a lot of moms with young kids, perhaps there was an event or the children's museum. Coffe was absolutely superb. I had the breakfast biscuit with bacon and my husband enjoyed the breakfast burrito. Made with love, they were amazing. Homemade biscuits, omg. Just how I like them. One downside was my small latte and the breakfast was over $50.00 so pretty pricey but I will be back!

    Is Narrative dog-friendly?

    We love dogs here and have water bowls for them and would love to allow them in the building, but because we prepare and serve food onsite, the health department won't allow us to have any animals that aren't service animals in the building.… Read more

    My friend moved to downtown Everett last year and is still exploring the area. She told me about…read morethe vegan joint nearby that she hadn't been to yet. We're both omnivores who eat a fair amount of plant-based fare for health reasons (I have allergies and intolerances, she's heeding doctor's advice). To be clear, this is a cafe, not a full blown restaurant. They serve luncheon fare, but it's a small operation so be either patient to don't bother - especially if there's a line. It's counter ordering with payment expected in advance. The tables closest to the window are a *little* harrowing because of the ADA ramp that leads to the door: the closest chairs can teeter down the ramp if the chairs are pushed back too far. Be careful. There are huge, regular, and small tables available. The biggest table is a little tricky to navigate for folks who want to sit in the booth side, but once seated it's quite lovely. I ordered the Pesto Pasta (involving zoodles: zucchini noodles) and a Sun Juice. My friend ordered the Grilled Cheese and Bisque. Please note: it's worth looking around this place while waiting for your food. You can conceivably get your own water, napkins and cutlery if you walk far enough along the counter towards the back of the restaurant. Back there, you may also notice a single-occupancy restroom and bins for bussing your own dishes. The Sun Juice arrived first, freshly blended, and was delicious. If that's what their juice is like, I look forward to exploring their smoothie offerings. My pasta arrived looking BEAUTIFUL on a bed of spinach, and smelled just as good. It tasted a teensy bit more of salt than I would've liked, but then I speared a sun dried tomato with my next bite and remembered that I'm not a food critic, just a happy customer. Although I'm not generally a fan of zoodles, they seemed to have the art of cooking them down pat: they didn't distract from the pesto at all. The bisque had an artful design of (coconut? cashew?) cream on top. My friend was delighted to note that it was a bit of spice to it: nothing challenging, but just enough for her to find comforting. Given the light and airy look of the inside and the rather rustic / flower-child look of the outside, she was not expecting that surprise. She was so impressed with the grilled cheese sandwich that she offered me a bite: we were both quite impressed with the "cheese" they used, as the item was listed as vegan on the menu. My friend kept whining that she's doomed, as they're close to where she lives *and* they deliver. Oh, yeah - poor her, indeed. Alas, alack, and so on.

    Tried the Bukan Bowl--delicious! Soup and cappuccino were solid too. Indoor vibe could use a lift…read more Cappuccino: 8/10.
