Coffee subpar, ambiance meh and really loud. Was really hoping to love this place. Not a great place to get some work done, outlets not reliable and very loud crowds. Coffee came out cold. read more

Victor's Celtic Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I grew up coming to Victor's. I love the vibe the large space for catch ups. And I completely enjoy the specialty drinks. I brought my parents on a recent visit. I ordered the "Zebra" which is white chocolate and regular chocolae. It was delicious. I loved hanging out with my parents at the old stomping ground. I wasn't a fan of the wrapped treats. I love displayed, fresh treats but also in these times, people can't be wasteful. My mom still liked her scone. There's not enough mom and pop's these days and I am glad this one had survived the test of time. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Victors has a welcoming local vibe and is a nice place to hang out, if you don't need Wi-Fi. The positives are the atmosphere and good selection of baked goods with vegan options. Unfortunately the drip coffee I ordered was not very good; and it was quite expensive. It was very weak and acidic and almost $5 for plain coffee. The vegan muffin was good and partially made up for the weak coffee. read more

$8.50 for a coffee I can handle. Being treated rudely I cannot. I will not be back. On the bright side the coffee was good.

Coffee is good, staff is not friendly. Great space but because staff was kinda rude I won't be back. I'll hang out at Soul food coffee instead. read more

A Redmond institution (the current owner's first job was there!) with fast and friendly service. Lots of diverse seating if it's just you or you and 6+ friends. Plus the coffee is amazing: the beans are very carefully sourced and roasted on site. read more

I come here once in a while over here they have fresh orange juice. The customer service is really great. They don't do Wi-Fi, which is great. They want people to talk instead of just being on their phones. They have outdoor patio and they have fresh bake pastries, which are delicious. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in the area BY FAR! I literally went on vacation & was excited to come home so I could get coffee from here. I really like the banana split latte & also look forward to the seasonal options. They also have a really good cappuccino chocolate muffin. 10/10 please go here!! read more

The thing I found weird is there are no prices listed anywhere for anything. It's just a guess to how much you'll end up paying. I also ordered a bread pudding and they offered to warm it up, but it ended up just being barely room temperature. That being said, the bread pudding is tasty and I recommend getting it with your coffee. Their coffee menu leans very sweet, but we ordered an americano and cappuccino which was standard. The cafe has a cozy ambiance and there is space inside for seating. Small parking lot in front and bathroom inside. read more

I've been coming here for 19 years and this is still my favorite cup of regular drip in the pacific northwest. i love the new ownership (although there was something charming any the old cash only days). also the sandwiches here are excellent. they're also one of the few coffee shops with heavy cream as a drink option read more

We've been a customer here for 20 years and today was a major disappointment. They should change the name because they aren't doing "Victor" a good service. Victors was a place you could go and enjoy a great cup of coffee, friendly customers and good food (during all hours of operation). They would deliver the food to your table and chat with you. Today was horrible. At 10:30 their food case was empty, the place is cluttered, and our coffee was just ok, not to mention way more expensive since than it used to be. $17 for two jumbos used to be about $12. They didn't ask for our name just said "we'll yell out the coffee". That doesn't work well if there is more than one of the same order and you're sitting in the dining area. My coffee was made to go because they didn't have any more clean cups. The guy taking our order just wanted to take the order and be done. No more bell ringing for tips and no more friendly conversation (we were the only people in line). Victor you should have never sold - we won't be back, this place changed for the worst....such a shame. read more

$10.50 for a Irish nudge triple shot coffee. Way too expensive before tip. Coffee was good but not worth the price. It's a shame because this place was pretty nice the last few decades. read more

Adorable coffee shop with lots of seating. A lot of coffee shops in the PNW have a bit of a cold/artificial vibe, but this one feels warm and homey. They also roast the coffee in the shop in a separate room with glass walls, which is very cool to see. Staff is polite and efficient, and they make a great latte :) We will definitely be back. read more

Service - 4/5 Ambience - 5/5 Coffee - 4/5 Loved the ambience. It has a retro vibe and has some great corner spots that serve as good reading spots. I went early in the morning so it wasn't very crowded and indeed very bright and serene. The staff were friendly and the order was quick. The coffee was lukewarm although I specifically asked for extra hot Overall a good coffee spot and one of those spots that I would like to come back again read more

Such a quaint coffee shop and something about this place just keeps me coming back! Coffee is pretty good- like most coffees you get, some are phenomenal, some are average. The breakfast sandwich was surprisingly good, this last time was my first time getting it. Lots of seating, friendly staff, and a homey vibe. There are lots of coffee shops in the area, but each time I'm over this way I always stop here! read more

With new ownership comes a renewed commitment to excellent coffee and a whole new customer experience. No longer do you have an ogre come in with bluster, yank coffee cups out of customer's hands and generally cause havoc and mayhem in his own establishment. There's still no Wi-Fi (which is just fine by me, so you have to talk to your fellow coffee-lovers) and a wonderful father/daughter team running the place makes this a perfect place to slow down and sip a cup of coffee made from beans roasted just days or hours before. This has all of the charm it ever did without the black cloud of a seemingly bi-polar ogre/owner. read more

Cute ambiance, good coffee, no wifi, hard to find charging plugs, and tables are a bit unclean with sticky residues

My family and I can always count on victors for excellent coffee and pastries in Redmond. It's our favorite place to enjoy each others company and a well made latte. The baristas are efficient and consistent and the fireplace inside offers for a cozy environment. read more

I spotted Victor's online when searching up coffee shops, and I was excited to see a celtic café. There were several parking spots available right outside the business. The door was propped open, so I went on in. It was not too busy; there were 3 or 4 tables of people quietly sipping their drinks and no line at the register. I waited at the counter to place my order, and the two workers kept glancing sideways at me but ultimately kept working. They did not greet me or ask me to please wait a moment. One barista even looked me up and down, made an annoyed face, and walked to the back while saying, "Yeah, somebody should close that front door." For context, I was just standing silently and smiling. Eventually, I got service, but there was no apology or explanation for the wait. The other workers, who I assume were back-of-house, were fine since they offered me a table and brought me my order. No complaints about the food or venue. I want to like this place because the interior is so charming, but alas, the rude batistas make me feel unwelcome here. read more

I'm not keen on being negative to a place, however, the food is mid and the service is typically worse (depending on which day you go). As a big fan of rustic aesthetics, art, and historical attributes to a place the ambiance is what keeps me going there once in a while. Would I recommend this place? Maybe for a quick stop for exclusively coffee. Otherwise, there are other coffee shops nearby that i'd rather recommend. read more

Employees were friendly and helpful. Service was quick. There's a sign that says "no wifi, talk to each other like back in 1995" (luckily we didn't bring a laptop to work) Place had lots of character - very unique Coffee was really good! (Coming from a coffee snob ) Next time I visit, I will definitely be trying their blueberry scone. * local firefighter spot * -from a Redmond FF spouse read more

First time patron. Overall this has potential to be a great spot to catch up on gossip or have a date. Decor: On a "Good, Better, Best" scale the front room is firmly 'best' but the back room is 'good'. The cafe is a cross between industrial and homey: with handmade seasonal decorations displayed amongst the rustic wood beams and antique coffee paraphernalia. A poster wall of upcoming indie shows, gigs and exhibits decorates the pickup area which wraps around the right. To the left of the register is a nook with personal seating and a great view of the cafe. In general the front of the cafe is more 'instagram ready' but past the roasting room, tastefully enclosed in glass, is a 'open concept' area where a collection of local fine art is displayed on rotation. The back room is larger, still homey with hewn wood beams and light filtering in through vintage windows but feels a little sparsely decorated. The seating is community center style with a large table (seats 8+), great for groups, and a number of miscellaneous tables on the outskirts nearby outlets (good for catching up on email if you don't mind the chatter). Food & drink: On a "Good, Better, Best" scale this is good. The macchiato was a little burnt or over extracted but the presentation was cute and most people would be happy with it. The almond mocha Rocha was similar, the flavor is there but not a wildly unique. The apple pastry was good and the price was right- get it warmed if possible. My partner enjoyed the scone but as it came in plastic wrap (perfect for 'to-go') but it should have automatically come with a plate because our drinks were 'for here'. Service: On a "Good, Better, Best" scale this is good. The staff are presentable and generally courteous. We stated we were first time patrons and asked for their recommendations, which we got, but didn't really receive much else as far as etiquette for empty cups etc. Again, the pastry and scone are great but are missing utensils and a plate; Apologies if the customer is supposed to request a plate or utensils, it is not immediately evident and we would've appreciated the guidance as to not mess the beautiful table. It may be because they were prepping for another rush we did not know about but the workers were a little impatient with our pace for selection. For reference, we ordered and it was not at a busy time (no one in line behind us, mid-week, and it was around 10:30-11am between rushes). Price: $$. On a "Good, Better, Best" scale this is good. Food and drink are priced fine to be a treat, but I'd expect it to be a little pricey if you're looking for "commute coffee" or have large orders. We had 1 Large Specialty Latte (with milk substitute) $8/ea a traditional macchiato about $6. and 2 pastries - it was about $30 including a small tip for staff. Value: On a "Good, Better, Best" scale this is good. I feel the presentation for the drinks and food needs to be elevated to better fit the price. read more

Used to be fantastic. Used to be. Long time customer (20 years+) New ownership has dramatically changed the product, service and ambiance. In the worst possible ways. Pass. read more

I'm not sure what is celtic about this place, but I love the space and vibe. This is the sort of coffee shop that hangs local art on the walls, has tons of advertising that local and independent vendors stick up on the walls, and where you can easily hang out for several hours. I love community coffee shops like this, and they get a five for ambiance, service, and the baked goods. Coffee is not so great, but suits those who like their roasts burnt. I prefer light to medium roasts. read more

Been going to Victors for a long time now. I order the same thing each time. A grande snickers. It's been, $6, $7 and now today $8. That's way too much. Not sure I could find anywhere else in Redmond for a drink that size of any kind to be that expensive. And lack of consistency in pricing. I'd like to know going in what I'm going to be paying. Very sad. read more

Drink 1: jungle Jane, triple shot. Made as ordered, fine but nothing special. No whip which was a bummer. Drink 2: tall snickers, half sweet with almond milk. Made full sweetness (sickly sweet), doesn't taste like almond milk. Lemon loaf: good, nothing crazy Barista (tall older woman with beanie and short blondeish bob) was not friendly and we did not ask for a remake because of this. She was wearing leggings and a crop top, and because the leggings were ruched around the butt, she had her asscrack peeking out and even more so whenever she bent to get to the fridge. There's no way that's not a health code issue. Food: 3/5 Drinks: 1/5 Order taker: friendly Barista: unfriendly First time here in over a year, does not inspire a revisit any time soon. read more

Go to place for a morning drink on a weekday! Cozy coffee shop with vintage atmosphere. It is small but I like the layout and decoration.

I have tried some hot chocolates that are very sweet but the sweet level on this one is on point! read more

Victor's Celtic Coffee - Hot Chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I stopped by Victor's Celtic Coffee since I was in the area and I have never been so blown away by a coffee shop! It's so close to RTC, just a short walk away, so I love that it's in the vicinity. I decided to get the Irish Nudge since it contains Irish Cream - everything else you can just get at a normal coffee shop, right? I asked for whipped cream and was blown away that it was CHOCOLATE whipped cream! Amazing! The Irish Nudge in general was so good, lots of chocolate and hazelnut and super creamy, as expected. I loved how sweet it was but I will say I barely tasted the coffee (fine by me). I would love to come back often, but I don't live near Redmond... maybe every time I'm in downtown :) read more

Hmm... I have seen previous reviews complaining of service and I have to agree. We stood in line and waited for about 10 minutes with no one saying hello or addressing us. We stood in front of the counter waiting and unsure of what was going on. Nobody made any attempt to have a conversation after we said hello. Finally, an older man behind the counter and another employee were discussing how their WIFI is down. They told another customer who already had their drinks if they could come BACK later in the day to pay.... They did not make any attempt to say hello to us, offer a solution or at least acknowledge the rapidly growing line. This experience really lacked any kind of customer service or reasonable manners. Disappointed. read more

I've always walked past this place, mostly because I never knew that it was actually open. They serve fresh roasted coffee (you can literally see them roasting the coffee instead the store!) and selection of tea. There's also a limited range of baked goods and sandwiches if you wanted something to snack on. There's a lot of seating if you wanted to have coffee with friends. I had the Irish Nudge, which was surprisingly not overly sweet, and the Nanaimo bar which was overwhelmingly sweet (they were really nice when I asked them about what was in the dessert). The reason for rating is because the coffee was lukewarm (even though I collected it as soon as it was made) and how blindingly sweet the dessert was. read more

Wonderful, local neighborhood coffee shop. We have been coming here regularly for years and are always pleased with the service, the ambiance and of course the coffee! It's cozy and warm in the colder months with a fireplace and lots of seating. Love the working coffee roaster in the middle of the cafe! Really gives it a cool vibe. Also lots seating on the outdoor porch with the awning during sunny days. Feels good to support a local business rather than a chain. You'll often see the owner there making coffee and food and roasting coffee. She is really lovely and puts her heart and soul into Victor's. This place also support local artists with new artwork on the walls every month. Gives artists a spot to share their art which is also often for sale. The caliber of the artwork displayed is high. The coffee is excellent! Along with a regular latte, mocha, cappuccino, matcha, they also have several signature drinks that you can choose from as well. I've tried almost all of them and they are really good. A nice variety to the regular latte. I included some of the selections in the photos. Mostly I go for the coffee but we have also been happy with the panninis and pasteries. There are lots of choices for food so it's a good place for lunch or a snack with your coffee. You can also buy the beans for your own home espresso and they have lots of different roasts to choose from. I don't have a machine myself, but I've given Victor's beans as gifts and the recipients have been very pleased. Love this place! read more

I came here for a quick chai a few minutes after it opened. The baristas were still getting the place set up and ready for business. They were apologetic and tried to finish what they were doing to help me. The lady took my order, and I had maybe a five minute wait. I spent that time looking around to see what was there. The place has a lot of cozy nooks and tables to hang out or work. It has a lovely warm environment, and I can picture it being a popular hang out place during peak hours. I ordered a chai latte to go. I have to admit; it was pretty mediocre. I'm not sure if it's because I was the first customer or the barista wasn't ready to make drinks yet, but my drink was mostly milk and little chai. Since it was mostly milk, it was lukewarm, and I had asked for it to be served hot. I was already headed towards the highway, so I wasn't able to turn around. I'm giving this place 4/5 , because the ambiance is great but the drink was a little underwhelming. I want to try this place again, maybe a little later in the day though. read more
