Food: Romeo Mocha which is raspberry and dark chocolate. It was delicious. Highly recommend. Menu: Many options to choose from with their specialty in mochas. The specialty mocha list did not have pricing which I wish was clearly stated for transparency. Ambiance: Simple and clean place with plenty of tables and a couch which seems to stay full, sometimes hard to get a table. Service: Super friendly. There were a couple options I wanted to try and was unsure about sweetness levels and flavor choices. The barista was very accommodating and informed to let her know if sweetness needed to be adjusted or if she can accommodate another drink if I ended up not loving the one I ordered. Value: Great quality and reasonable pricing. read more

Very spacious cafe with plenty of seating and a cozy, inviting decor. They serve Macrina Bakery pastries and baked goods, which I was excited about since I love Macrina. I ordered the triple chocolate muffin and a latte. The muffin was great, but the latte was quite weak and overly milky it tasted pretty diluted. I don't think I'll be coming back for the coffee, but that muffin definitely has me heading straight to Macrina next time. The barista was sweet and friendly, and although they kindly let us know we couldn't have our drinks in mugs since they were closing in an hour, they said it in such a considerate and warm way that I really appreciated it. read more

Amazing espresso drinks and comfy seating. We did street parking nearby. Again, appreciate the good quality and flavor of the coffee and the fair price (unlike others in the area that offer extremely overpriced coffee) It also has a huge monstera plant in the corner - stunning! read more

Good cafe with variety of coffee and bakeries. They roast coffee beans in house. We come here almost every time when we visit Redmond. Location is nice near Sammamish River Trail. So you can easily take a break and relax in with a cup of coffee in this cafe . In a summer time you can also sit outside. Also there are plenty sitting places inside. read more

I love this place. The staff is nice. The coffee is roasted and good. They know how to make drinks and tells stories. As for Jennifer, the State of WA will punish a company caught doing that. So move along. Don't bring your dirty mugs and expect rtr staff to fall over your wants in that regard. read more

Amazing cortado. Great enough to go back just for it. Spinach quiche was OK, nothing to write home about. A little noisy if you're easily distracted but it had a good atmosphere. read more

Great coffee friendly staff and airy ambience. They charge close to a $1 for alternative milk, but the coffee won't disappoint you ! Great place to hangout with friends and have a nice cup of coffee. The place wasn't too busy when I went there and we got a nice corner spot and had a great conversation! This place is very close to the Redmond library, if you are a book lover, get a book and enjoy in this coffee shop that has a good vibe to it ! read more

Was recently there to meet some business colleagues for a catch up. Everyone enjoyed their coffees, teas, and lattes. Staff were friendly and quick. Pastries looked amazing but I didn't have any, sadly. Has a bit of an industrial vibe. Could use more seating inside as we head into colder temps - I could see seats filling up and people not wanting to leave. read more

Great studying vibes and super cute decorations! I love that they have an abundant mochas option. They also have baked goods from Macrina's bakery which is a huge plus!! 10/10 recommend read more

Out running errands and took a few wrong turns. Thought coffee might be good thing. Did not disappoint. Cute place, pretty quiet for a Saturday lunchtime and excellent customer service. Service with a smile and it felt so welcoming I had a Dirty Chai along with a Raspberry Almond scone. I could feel the brain cells waking. The scone was delicious. Not too sweet and I could see and taste raspberries with a soft almond flavor. Nicely done . Very satisfying The dirty chai was also quite good. Not overly hot and flavorful. My preference is a little less cinnamon but I also forgot to request a soft touch with cinnamon so that's on me. After relaxing and enjoying this tasty break- back off to rest of errands. Happy belly and my brain cells engaged ! Worth the stop read more

Can I sample every custom coffee blend in the world, one by one? It seems highly unlikely but it was delicious fun to try the complex, sweet and robust medium roast at River Trail! Raul enthusiastically informed me, when I asked, that the coffee is a blend of Brazilian, Columbian and Mexican coffees roasted to a medium. The more and more I taste espresso blends made from this lighter roast, the more I like it! Sorry Italy! Forgive me! I was pleased that Raul served it in a proper espresso cup by default. It just makes for a better experience! The crema was spot on and the aroma was rich. First sip was complex and hearty! I finished my double in way less than a minute! It was that good! Thanks Raul and thanks River Trail! Life is good with your coffee! read more

This is a solid two star review. Coffee is OK, nothing special. We are in the midst of three days without electricy and no heat at our house event, which has engendered a sense of how-are-you doing within our community I warmly said how grateful we were that they were open, mentioning we were at the town hall across the street. When I asked the young man pulling the drinks if we could use personal cups he seemed annoyed that I had asked. Tone of voice means a lot when you work in customer service. He was the opposite of welcoming. I left the shop disappointed at the service and will not be a repeat patron. That's a shame. read more

Coffee is fantastic. The pastry selections are a little lacking. Otherwise, this would get a solid five. What is important is the coffee. It is also nicely located near the trail. Perfect for our morning walks. read more

Located in a mixed use building in Redmond. There are a few outside tables if you have a dog or want to be outside, but they are a bit rusty. We enjoyed our experience indoors. There appeared to be one barista on shift but service was quick (want too busy). The coffee roast (Columbia) for the drip coffee was so good and not too acidic/sour of a roast. The Cafe Cubano was delicious! And they have a few gluten free items; we had two vegan gluten free blueberry scones and they were excellent. They also sell their burlap bags which we purchased and took home. read more

Great coffee. Our go-to place. Best part is they accept dogs. Highly recommend. Ambiance good, service good.

This is a great place to study or work. The space is clean, with large windows and sturdy tables. There are plenty of power outlets. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I don't drink coffee, so I can't comment on the quality, but I like their London Fog. Prices are reasonable. Street parking is just outside the entrance. read more

First time visiting today. Good coffee and poor service. Only customer at the counter and waited a good 5 minutes for the baristas to finish their not work chatting so I could get some creamer. I won't be coming back. read more

Needed a place to study and found this place. Its quiet and not so packed on a 12 pm weekday. Around 2 pm was when the tables started to get filled. Soft music played while conversations blended in. They have a ton of different coffee and tea specialties. They also have a menu of sandwiches to enjoy for your lunch break. One of the lattes that caught my eye was lavender + honey latte. It had a light texture with heavy caffeine. If you hang out here, they do have free wifi. Overall, I will come back here when i'm in the area. Cozy and comfortable place to relax and enjoy a smooth cup of coffee or tea. read more

Workers are always so kind! Love the date energy bites they sell at the register! Highly recommend a honey cinnamon latte! A great spot to study or meet with friends read more

I've been periodically going here for a few years. The seasonal stuff is good and the service has always been especially fast. Big shout out to the staff for coming through during this November 2024 "bomb cyclone" weather event, especially the brutal first Wednesday morning. That's the reason for my review. After virtually the entire local area but RTR lost power, everyone converged on this place. Thanks for serving the community despite likely not having power at home yourselves. read more

I've been meaning to stop by here for months, and I finally came around to it. It's tucked underneath one of the bigger apartment buildings, and it's located across the street from the Redmond library. There's a few tables outside where people were working or chatting with friends and family. The interior is clean and spacious. A few more people were inside having meetings and talking. It looks like a good work place. The barista was friendly and answered all my questions. The drink prices were reasonable, but I thought the baked goods were priced a little high. I liked that the place served a variety of gluten free and vegan items that are individually wrapped. I ordered a chai and a gluten free, vegan raspberry-almond scone. It was a little drier than I expected. Taste and flavor were 3/5 . The chai was good but had more of a room temperature than a nice hot chai feel. Flavor wise, it was fine. It's better than Starbucks but not the best chai I've had. I give it a 4/5 . Overall, I like the place and staff are friendly and food and beverage are decent. I look forward to returning and trying more items on the menu. read more

Seriously delicious coffee and a great quiet, relaxed & simple ambiance. This place reminds me of what coffee shops in Seattle used to be - I could actually sit here all day!

I got a dark chocolate mocha on a Friday morning. The coffee was great and the cafe is a cute place to hangout too.

The americano is sour with fragrance. Muffin is soft and juicy. They can heat it a bit and it is even more delicious! read more

literally every single thing about this place is good. the location is good--just a little distanced from the main downtown area. it's not too busy, not too dead. the lighting is nice and soft, there's a good level of noise (i came here at 4pm on a weekday). the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. the food and drink are beautiful and delicious (i had the lavender and honey latte with oat milk and a vegan coconut raspberry muffin). there are so many vegan options for pastries and so many choices for alternate milks (whole, 2%, almond, soy, oat). there are a few regulars who are friendly with staff, and there are a few quiet workers. i think the prices are fair. and a good number of outlets!! i really like this place :) read more

Nice local coffee shop with good coffee, good amount of inside and outside seating and free street parking nearby. The latte I got was very nice - you could taste the espresso and the milk supplemented it vs overshadowed it which I loved. The day I went there, only one barista was working and there was a very long line but the crowd seems to ebb and flow and hopefully she doesn't get burnt out working on her own! read more

Located directly across from Redmond City Hall, this is a nice homey coffee shop where I enjoyed a light breakfast and latte one Saturday morning. Since it's attached to an apartment complex, there's no private parking lot, but we didn't have an issue finding nearby street parking. Whenever I visit an independent coffee shop, I always gravitate toward one of their specialty drinks. Based on the menu, I could see that River Trail offers many unique mochas, each with a name that hints at its flavor profile. I could take an educated guess at the ingredients within each, but ideally, they should provide a short description of every special drink on the menu for clarity. They roast their beans in-house, so I was looking for drink that would allow me to appreciate the flavor the coffee itself, but also express River Trail's signature spin. The Vanilla Cinnamon Latte ultimately caught my eye ($4.25 for 12 oz) and it was delicious! I could definitely taste a little spice from the cinnamon and the vanilla gave it a touch of sweetness. I found the strength of the coffee to be just right and the drink was well-balanced, although others may find it to be on the weaker side. I paired my latte with a warm Ham and Cheese Croissant. The croissant was flaky on the outside and soft inside from the melted cheese, but it only included one thin slice of ham. Their food options are more limited, compared to a Starbucks for example, as they have a small selection of pastries, breads and wrapped sandwiches. Pricing overall is also on the steeper end, as two drinks and two pastries totaled about $16. I wouldn't consider this an everyday stop, but more of an occasional treat. I appreciate their wide seating area with tables, booths and even a few cozy seats next to the fireplace. The shop is welcoming to guests of all ages and they even have some board games available for kids. Whether you're seeking a new environment to study, work or catch up with a friend, River Trail will provide a wonderful atmosphere and a comforting cup of coffee. read more

Consistently great coffee, which is hard to find on the eastside. I've tried everything from espresso and drip to mochas at this point and it's all good. Baristas are always friendly, even when they are slammed and the owner Raul is crazy nice. This is my official go to whenever I'm in the neighborhood now. Just hope to get a spot next to the fireplace one of these days! read more

Update: Changing from 5 stars to 2 stars. Apparently good things don't stay good for too long. The quality of service went down significantly - whether because the place got more customers, or because different people are working there now. More to the point, over and over again my muffin comes to me cold. Even when I explicitly ask them to warm up my muffin better so it would not be cold in the middle, I still get it barely warm, and cold inside. When I ask them why they did not do what I asked, they argue that they warmed it long enough, as if the end result is not what actually matters, and as if it is not their job to make sure the muffin is warm. I am not going to eat there again - the coffee is still OK though. read more
