I tried the Mexican coffee, which was fairly strong and had a different flavor profile than what I…read moretypically drink. It was okay, but not something I would go out of my way to order again. The seating area is small, but I noticed a diverse mix of customers, including families with children and seniors. The service could use improvement. Cups were placed on the counter, but the announcements were not clear. For multiple orders, there were no markings on the cups, making it difficult to know which drink belonged to whom. Another issue was that the paper napkins at the counter had run out. When I mentioned it to the staff, instead of refilling the dispenser or offering me napkins, I was directed to get them from another area. Overall, the experience was average. The coffee was decent, but the lack of attention to customer service stood out more than the drink itself.

I mentioned to her I've gone to plenty of 85 locations including this one and have always showed my drivers license. She then proceeded to tell me she never done it this way and have to message her boss but less than 20 seconds later she just applies it. Gave attitude and all for what reason? She kept talking back to me, didn't care to maintain eye contact and pushed the bag full of pastries towards me like she didn't have a care. I always order sea salt caramel coffee and this is the first time it doesn't taste as it should... Unfortunately I didn't see a name tag but she gave attitude to the customer behind me as well, hopefully it doesn't continue for the rest of the customers who's undeserving of that. Even if you have a bad day, doesn't mean you should project it onto people especially customers. Who wants to start their morning with bad coffee and even worse attitude? Management should go through trainings especially customer service and valid military IDs for active members and veterans.

This was at 8AM - first time I've visited an 85 this early and I wasn't expecting it to actually be decently busy! They also had the boba ready at 8AM and I couldn't resist getting a drink as well. Boba Milk Tea, Medium, 25% Sweet ($4.85) - I've only gotten boba in the afternoon from 85C, most recently from the Lynnwood location, and it wasn't very good at all. I'm guessing they don't rotate the boba at all, so ordering it earlier is better. The boba at 8AM is actually pretty good with a surprisingly decent chew and bounce and a good sweetness on the exterior that's also sticky and soft. The pearls aren't really consistent in size, but are consistent in texture, which is more important. For the tea - 50% sweet is usually way too sweet for me at 85C. 25% is good and not too sweet. Unfortunately there isn't much tea flavor and it mainly tastes milky and creamy. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 White Chocolate Strawberry ($2.60) - Very soft bun with the typical artificial strawberry flavor. The bun is super soft with a nice subtle bounce. Small pieces of softened white chocolate are embedded in the strawberry flavored cream on the inside. It's a well balanced bun that's sweet but not cloying. (4/5) Overall this is a pretty decent 85°C. Very convenient to visit to pick up fresh bread after grocery shopping at Ranch. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

If you have the time, order for here and enjoy a coffee drink in a gigantic mug in one of their cozy setting areas. It almost feels like someone's home with how comfy it is! Service: She was quick making my coffee and sandwich, and she did everything with a smile! Food: I got their special, "The Salty Ex." A great coffee drink with delicious salted caramel and vanilla notes. The breakfast sandwich (Bagel, ham, egg, cheese) was yummy too. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they were out of a lot of the food options, and it was around 9:15 am when I went. I'll definitely return and hopefully they'll have more food options then!

You would imagine that this place has an aroma of Coffee.. or something, but you would be amiss,…read moreit's just the name, but what you do get, is good coffee. I'm meeting a friend here to catch up, to talk... and honestly, I had never thought about coming here for coffee, even if it was only 12 minutes from my place. Yes, the building was an old Service Station for you know, your car, so if anything the place has that on the outside, but the feels.. it's not that on the inside, per se. Where you get coffee and where you sit and chill, are two very different places. What used to be the service station office is where you get coffee, and where they used to service cars, is now where you sit comfortably, tables spaced apart nicely, and the decor is the place that makes you wonder why not.. in a good way. The coffee is Fidalgo, which is a good strong flavored coffee. They have a rotating mixed coffee drink of the month, and it's delicious. They don't bake their own goods, which honestly if you can't, then don't. What they service is packaged, but from reputable local businesses, so worth trying. Overall, you need a place to just work, to chill, or have a good coffee, this place meets and exceeds that.

Neutral or welcoming? What is the difference? On 11/12, I…read morevisited this new coffee shop in my area. They are owned and sponsored by a local church and I had been excited for their opening. There has been some controversy about church owned coffee shops in Shoreline. I ordered a coffee and then politely asked where was their pride ‍ flag or sign. They said they didn't have one so I offered to bring them one and they seemed delighted, and thanked me. The pride flag I ordered is an 8 x 10 sign, has all the colors, and says in bold print EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE. On 11/17 I returned to the coffee shop. I had to wait a few minutes to speak with the manager. As we began to chat, another person suddenly joined her and took over the conversation, as I explained I'd been there last Wednesday and the agreement we had. He went on to tell me they are NEUTRAL and do not want to "offend" anyone. When I told them a sign like this should not be considered offensive, and if it were offensive to someone, maybe they didn't want that customer anyway. I said I have grandchildren who are both gay and mixed race and it's important for them to feel safe in certain environments. I told them about how my lesbian college-age granddaughter had to walk nearly a mile to find a coffee shop last summer where she felt comfortable. (She doesn't patronize Starbucks. She walked to Diva on 145th.) They felt that was too bad for her. But ... they were very adamant in their NEUTRAL position. I tried explaining how important these signs are to the LGBTQ community. They did repeat several times that they were NEUTRAL. I left the signs with them and drive by often to check and see if they're in the windows. They are not. Either perhaps in the garbage or on a shelf in some back room. The last thing we want to do in the environment we're currently living in is to remain neutral. We need to reach our hands across. In a "Christian" environment, I would expect nothing less.
