Roasting plant with a small office up front. Person at desk was very personable and helpful. They presented the roast options to us. Very enjoyable, and we left with 3 bags of 3 different roast beans to do our own samplings at home. Look forward to our return after selecting the most promising roast from our first visit. read more

In short Great roaster with the deepest imaginable local roots. In long There are tons of warehouses along Bickford these days, and if you turn down in and zigzag around a bit, you find a fantastic local coffee wholesaler with a retail outlet right here. They have a big lineup and unbelievable prices. Just the nicest people, too. I have been hearing good things about them for a while and meaning to stop in. I was finally able to combine this with some other errands yesterday. It's a small storefront with a few shelves and a big counter area. Not a coffee shop to sip a mug--a place to buy beans. There's a big sign on the wall explaining the exact roast level for each bag of beans they offer. You can order online and pick up, or you can walk in to buy. They have a bunch of blends that do really well. I avoid blends; I want the different flavors of single-origin stuff. I'm thinking now I should have realized that the rave reviews I see for this place are for the blends. I tried the Kenya, which the owner was proud to explain is their highest-rated offering. It's a good coffee, but not single-origin in the sense that they note how it was processed and where it was grown. They just give you the country. That's still an enormous step up from where coffee was when I was a kid, and it's an impressive effort for coffee that's a mere $11/lb. The big sign on the wall said this was a medium roast, and what's in the mug is very smoky and dark. Too much for my tastes, but I'm glad to have finally tried this place. I'm looking forward to trying the other beans and finishing all this up. read more

Absolutely the best coffee roaster in the area! It's a small storefront in a warehouse district, but don't let that deter you. They have a very helpful staff and they have decades of experience. Their coffee is fantastic and the only coffee we buy. It's a big step up from anything at the grocery store or big box retailer. It's easy to get to off the north end of Bickford Road near Sound to Summit Brewery. read more

Incredible coffee beans and always right on point with consistency and flavor. I buy several pounds a month for our family and at a great price for the high quality. read more

Dave Stewart is absolutely the most customer oriented business owner I have encounted in years. He is caring and concerned about his customers. Even more importantly, the organic signature blend (whole bean for me) is an exquisite delight. Nothing can begin your day more effectively than a fresh cup of Signature. Thank you Dave. read more

Absolutely the BEST coffee I've ever tasted. I visited the roaster after discovering that my favorite coffee shop uses their coffee. The person working today was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and kind. She offered great information so I could make the right choices for me. I'm a happy caffeinated forever customer read more

My favorite place to go grab coffee beans for my home cafe. They roast their beans every week freshly! I recommend "signature" for medium roast and"milano" for dark roast. Their price has gone up recently due to inflation but still reasonable compared to other places. Note: $11.50 for 1lb or $55 for 5lbs (as of Oct, 22) read more

Been buying coffee - either in person or ordering it to be delivered usps - here for several years, and it is hands down my favorite roastery. Customer service is terrific. read more

Owned by the original founders of Seattle's Best Coffee, this is an amazing coffee gem in Snohomish! My wife's co-worker gave us a bag of their Costa Rica beans, and we were impressed at the depth of flavor. We visited their location which is a small office and roasting plant in a business warehouse district. No coffee bars or espresso machines here, but what you will find is friendly staff willing to explain all their many blends and their interesting history. We bought their Milano blend which is darker, but I think I prefer Costa Rica. My wife liked their Kenya beans because it had a slight fruit finish. No matter what you get, you'll love your coffee from Vista Clara! read more

Remember Seattles Best? Remember the Stewart brothers? Well they're alive & well & still producing the best coffee in the Seattle area. Except now they are in Snohomish flying under the radar & selling 2 local businesses. That is, they WERE except I'm pretty sure I just 'outed' them... If U buy coffee, Vista is the place U want to buy from. If UR in the area U definitely want to check out their operation. Only Dave Stewart could get coffee trees to bear fruit in Seattle. Go see for yourself! read more

Best coffee anywhere and at a great price! Milano, Early Bird, and French are my favorites.

Incredible coffee - worth the trip to get fresh roasted coffee by the pound - and I do mean ALL 16 ounces!!! Dave roasts some wonderful blends and has some nice seasonal blends to look forward to each year. In case you don't live nearby they d read more

I first tried this coffee at a bistro in downtown Snohomish. Once I tasted this coffee, I was hooked! This signature blend is divine!

I truly love Vista Clara's coffee! I get their decaf, which I am extremely picky about in terms of how it's processed. It is so delish. I love picking it up and having the whole car smell amazing! More importantly, I love the way it tastes! My husband really enjoyed their St. Pat's day special roast! 5 lbs. at a time for me! It's that good! read more

Best coffee in Washington! I only drink the Milano dark roast. My wife found this coffee for me and I love it. It was at a local bakery in town. They stopped carrying it so I went to the source where they roast it. Thanks Dave Stewart, you are a master at your craft. read more

My wife and I love our coffee, and have an excellent, manual (none of this automatic stuff!) espresso machine and grind our beans fresh every time we make the coffee. After 10 years in Europe, we were despairing of finding good coffee in Seattle, until we found Paesano's blend by Vista Clara Coffee. So we no longer miss London's "Algerian Coffee House" so much, and are really enjoying our espressos and latte's again. Who would have thought - a Snohomish roaster is trumping anything we could find in metro Seattle. Maybe we just didn't know which coffees are good there, but hey, we've found something we're happy with. Now to try VCC's other roasts! read more

I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful this coffee is!I am stunned, honestly, that word has not gotten out nationwide about how incomparable the taste and smoothness are. We were visiting family recently in suburban Seattle and our relatives told us how much they love Vista Clara coffee. From the first sip, I was hooked! I got a bag of the Signature Blend (Organic) to bring back home and I can say without hesitation that my own coffeemaker has NEVER before produced coffee that tastes this good. I will be ordering more bags online for sure. Thanks, Stewart family!! read more

Amazing coffee and friendly staff. I was referred to this place after drinking their amazing coffee at Adam's Brewery in Monroe. Dave Stewart and his brother help start what later became Seattle's Best Coffee. This is the only place that I will buy my beans from. They have a great selection of beans for you to try. Note: this is a retail/wholesale outlet to buy beans and coffee making products and not a place to order drinks. read more
