    Iced cortado
    uma p.

    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

    Exceptional cappuccino!!! If you're looking for a coffee shop that focuses more on the extraction process and flavor of the espresso than sugar and syrups of coffee "dessert drinks," this is the place! The barista was very knowledgeable and pulled the perfect shot of espresso for my morning cappuccino. I love to experience a new city through their coffee shops and Narrative does not disappoint! There were even a couple of friendly locals who struck up a nice conversation with me while I waited.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Exceptional coffee. The space gets a bit smoky depending on what they're cooking. Their coffee is worth occasionally choking on smoke for!

    Wow. Velton's has changed my coffee life. I recently discovered Grain Artisan Bakery in Snohomish…read more(highly recommend), & since it was afternoon, I got a decaf latte to go with my rhubarb custard tart. With decaf, I've come to expect that I will need the sweet treat to enhance the drink, but this coffee was absolutely as good as the amazing pastry, which is super, super rare!! It was Velton's Three Ravens Blend, the best decaf - by far - that I have had in more than a decade of searching. Three Ravens is completely delicious standing alone - which is what I've been searching for - and it harmonizes beautifully for the half-caf I like to drink in the mornings. I first emailed the business about which of their caffeinated offerings they would recommend for this, and Velton Ross got back to me right away with the friendliest, kindest reply and several very thoughtful suggestions. So far I've enjoyed the Bonsai Blend - an excellent and delicious accompaniment, just a slightly warmer, brighter profile when full-caf than is my preference - and I am going to order the Twilight Blend next. Although you cannot buy in person from their roastery, you can easily order from their site. They have lovely detailed descriptions of everything they offer, and shipping is very quick and very reasonable. They roast on Mondays and ship on Tuesdays, and I have always received my order (in Shoreline) by Friday, or Saturday at latest. There are also quite a few retail locations from Everett to the eastside - and even one each in Vegas and Montana! - where you can buy their beans and/or drink their coffee. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to list these on their site with detailed information about each establishment. So helpful for learning about local businesses I might have otherwise never come across. Online, you can purchase both whole bean and pre-ground for espresso and drip coffee. The drip coffee grind was a little too fine for my coffee cone method. So I experimented with whole beans and found that, for me, the flavor is perfect when I grind them one setting coarser than I used to use for other coffees. The best part of all of this, is that this is the first decaf I've ever been able to drink without a feeling of compromise, extra doctoring, or gaslighting myself into believing that it's good. Zero disappointment!! I can make a straight decaf cup any time of day and know that I'm going to love every sip. Thank you, Velton's!!

    Velton's is by far my favorite roasted bean. And Velton is a really nice guy. I have been, around…read morequality coffee for 50 years, and nothing compares to Velton's.
