In short Everything you love about a friendly neighborhood coffee shop and hangout. Great coffee! Even the merch is interesting. In long My little coffee side trips in this neighborhood will continue for a while. I'm now regularly in Edmonds with just enough time to grab a cup. This is the first sit-down place I've hit. I had just enough time to get something to go. It's a modest older building a couple blocks away from the main drag, and in Edmonds, a couple blocks is all you need for serious peace and quiet. On a Monday afternoon, there wasn't even much vehicle traffic on the road outside, but the locals were out in force--couples, groups, everybody cheerful. All ages. There are maybe 20 seats in here, with that many more outside. First thing you see when you walk in is the little farmer's-market type merch display that some local independent coffee shops often seem to have. Stickers, mugs, hats. I am anti-clutter overall, but still a sucker for stickers and mugs, and almost bought some stuff here. The kids behind the counter are super nice, super upbeat without being overcaffeinated. Very warm and genuine. My sister and I took our time puzzling through exactly what we wanted and the dude was smiling the whole time, got the order down perfectly. Couple minutes later it was ready. The drip coffee was fantastic, really hit the spot for my sis. It was late in the day so I got a heavily modified cup of tea (bergamot with lavender, something else, and almond milk). I've never had tea any way but black, ever, and this was delicious. I've never had tea with a cute name, either--"Edmonds Fog"--but that just made it easier to order. We were out the door with that and a really tasty jam biscuit for under $15. When I have time to park and go in to order, this place will be tough to beat for sure. read more

This walnut street coffee shop is like a bad blind date! I visited a few years ago, thinking I was in the charming Edmonds area, and decided to try their supposedly famous coffee selections. I ordered my usual Mocha Breve, and the coffee was surprisingly good - great flavor and just the right temperature. But let's chat about the service... As some reviews suggested, the service was a major letdown! The front servers seemed more annoyed than a cat in a bath. I asked for a bagel on the side, and both servers were less than thrilled to help me or even mention that I had to toast it myself! Apparently, there's a DIY toasting station for your pastries. The kicker? I ended up tipping 15% even though I did pretty much all the work - toasting the bagel and spreading the cream cheese. Which btw the bread even toasted is hard as a rock! It's a local joint, and the lady next to me clearly a local , was practically tapping her foot, trying to rush me as I waited for the cashier to make sure she's ready to take my order. Would I recommend this place? You might have a different experience so go. Am I gonna do a drive to comeback probably not. Don't believe the hype. read more

Walnut Street Coffee - Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

You will definitely run into crowds on the weekend! There were still a lot of pasties to choose from when I arrived at 11am. I ordered an oat milk latte and a garlic thyme knot, service was quick. I found the coffee shop to be really cold so wear layers. They have lots of seating indoors and outdoors. I parked on a street and walked; on Saturday, there is 3-hours of free parking. They have a lot of merchandise at the front of the store that you can look at while you wait in line. They also allow puppies indoors. They had two gluten free cookies wrapped and separate from the glutinous goodies; one was peanut butter and the other was a chocolate fudge. They also had breakfast burritos in a mini fridge. read more

Popular spot downtown with a cute and cozy atmosphere. Upon stepping inside, the aroma of coffee gives a wake up call. Unfortunately, I simply wanted a matcha (despite the shop being called coffee). With that in mind, being a bit conscious and lowering expectations. Iced Matcha Latte - just alright. Honestly the typical matcha latte found at other coffee spots, but they do offer a variety of milk alternatives and have choice for sweetener or not. A no frills matcha with more milk ratio than preferred, but definitely hides the grassy undertones that others dislike. read more

Very friendly barista/greeter who made me feel warm and welcomed. Small but delicious options of pastries and premade burritos and breakfast sandwiches which they provide a self service microwave for you to heat up if you prefer. I also appreciated the self serve water faucet, great for filling up your water bottle or reusable glass cups provided. Quite a bit of seating indoors and lovely options outside as well. Would come back! read more

Walnut Street Coffee - Pistachio toast and matcha almond cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

With a rotating selection of fresh-baked pastries and exquisite espresso drinks, I'd be happy to stop at Walnut Coffee whenever I'm in Edmonds. The flavor profiles at Walnut tend to be excellent. They're always long, complex, and balanced. This is the sign of a shop that does the work of adjusting the grind and pull parameters to extract the most from a fresh roast. You could easily come to Walnut to level up your coffee palate. There's Wi-Fi, of course, and table and bar height seating. The seating can get full at times, so don't be shy about asking to share a table, especially on a rainy day. read more

Arriving at Walnut Street Coffee a little after 8 a.m. this morning (Saturday 9 November 2024), there was a short line and an abundance of baked goods on display. Interior seating was over halfway full and exterior seating (on two sides of the building) had a group on one side of the building. The line area was bordered with various merchandise one could buy in addition to food and drink. Looking over the baked goods, the cinnamon rolls resembled the sweet rolls only with a cinnamon mixture and frosting. I ordered one, the price was $4.00 pre-tax and tip. Workers and the interior of the building were warm. The cinnamon roll was easy to tear apart with my fingers and had a textural flakiness similar to a croissant. The frosting had a cream cheese flavor and was easily spreadable even without heating. I found the serving size to satisfy my hunger for a few hours. read more

Great coffee! The orange cardamom cake is perfection. The staff are very welcoming & helpful. I've brought 3 different people to this place now and all have loved it read more

As an Edmonds local I can say this may be the best coffee in town. I appreciate the attention to detail of the baristas, so I am a happy customer every time. My daughter would like to add that the hot cocoa is rich in flavor and best she has had. My order is obscure and the staff doesn't shame me, in fact they remember it and kindly ask if I would like a mug or paper cup. Sometimes it is crowded with good reason so it's not my go to work spot but by far and away the best for quality coffee, and super cute to hang out if it is slow. read more

Walnut Street Coffee - Latte art - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

This coffee shop is not what it once was, I keep trying it but I think today is the last time I'll go. The coffee was horrible. My husband got a caramel latte. No caramel to speak of and the coffee itself was tasteless. I ordered an oat milk latte which was barely palatable. Our service was no different than it's been since it sold- cold and indifferent. The person calling out the coffee is barely audible and then gives you a little attitude when you ask what the coffee is he just set down. Either speak louder or expect to get asked some questions. It's a loud place which is great. Lots of energy happening but let's hear what coffee is up next. read more

Walnut Street Coffee: Overhyped, Underwhelming, and Completely Forgettable Let's get one thing straight: Walnut Street Coffee in Edmonds survives on vibes alone--and even those are wearing thin. You'd think with the cult following and endless Instagram tags, they'd serve a cup of coffee that didn't taste like it was brewed through a gym sock. Spoiler alert: they don't. Their baristas have perfected the art of looking annoyed when you dare to order anything that's not on their mood ring of a menu. Friendly? Occasionally. Consistent? Not even close. It's a coffee roulette every time you walk in--will your latte be scalding hot and flavorless or lukewarm and sour? Only the espresso gods know. And don't even try to find a seat unless you're ready to hover like a vulture for twenty minutes. Half the tables are taken by laptop squatters nursing a single drip coffee for three hours, and the staff does absolutely nothing about it. It's less a café and more a co-working space with bad lighting. Sure, the place looks like the Pinterest board of someone who listens exclusively to indie vinyls, but aesthetic only gets you so far. At some point, you actually have to deliver good coffee and decent service. Edmonds deserves better. Walnut Street Coffee is coasting on reputation and pretty wallpaper--and frankly, that's not good enough. read more

Great local hangout, busy all the time! They do the "the why bother'" really well! Go on over and sit and read.

As someone who is rather picky, I love small businesses and a bit of a coffee connoisseur, loves great coffee I found this place to be truely amazing and enjoyed the espresso very much! read more

Deliciousness. Great coffee & vibe, community focused! They're always busy, which is a good sign you're in the right place!

This place used to be my go to for coffee and a goodie but the furniture is so dirty that I don't want to spend any time in there. It has really gone down hill over the years. Thank goodness there are now more choices with great customer service and beautiful decorated and clean in Edmonds. I hope they invest some money into new furniture and giving it a refesh. read more

We stopped in a few times a few years ago (2019) and had an Americano and tea. The atmosphere was nice and service was very good, but the coffee was a bit too acidic for our tastes. The tea was fine. We decided to give them a try in Nov 2023, but unfortunately they have only a handful of tables which were all being squatted on by the laptop crowd. The biggest frustration were the individuals sitting alone, but obviously part of a two-some or small group, but taking up a full table (alone) with their gear and not showing any signs of moving this century. Unable to sit inside and with the weather not cooperating outside, we had no choice but to go to a different coffee shop. Frustrating. Sadly, since common courtesy doesn't seem to be working, I would suggest this cafe introduce and enforce a reasonable police that better accommodates more customers. Good luck! read more

My husband and I stopped here on our way to the ferry because we read they have gluten free baked goods. We were not disappointed! They had 4 unique offerings that were all delicious. The place was packed and clearly poplar with locals. Staff was friendly and efficient. They had lots of fun gift items for sale too. Definitely will come back! read more

This great neighborhood hangout is perfectly located. They have a great menu great food. You'll love it.

Cute little place with amazing coffee! We stopped by here on way over to the ferry. It was so good, we had to come back again. read more

Very cute space - nice area too! As you're in line to order your coffee, you walk through an aisle of sustainable merchandise or branded goods (like mugs, water bottles, etc.) I god the pumpkin spice latter with almond milk. It was a tad bit more coffee than pumpkin spice for my liking but I enjoyed the flavor - the spice flavor seemed more authentic than what they give at Starbucks. A nice touch is that on Saturdays in the fall (august - October), Edmonds has a farmers market with local artisans which is a cute experience to walk through read more

Walnut Street Coffee - Pumpkin spice latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Consistently worst service. I am dumb for mindlessly leaving a tip.. a 15% tip! I walk in, the server is silent until I initiate "how you doing?". Ordered an Americano and pastry, to which I stupidly add a 15% tip. For what? I wait for my drink, and recognize the owner making it while she is busy blabbing w co-worker, which seems to be the recurring theme. Drink is placed on counter without announcing what it is. I wait a few minutes, then ask if it is the Americano, "yes". I have to smile because of irony of my effort and service. Why is there a line? Don't reward mediocrity! Go to Red Twig and Cafe Louvre.. they are much better - great coffee and service! read more

When your favorite coffee place loves you back. Such a lovely place. Confortable. Good hang out spot. Can be a little load. Good coffee and pastry read more

Amazing coffee with amazing service thank you for making the coffee shop calming and relaxing.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the vibe. If you can find a seat. There are several coffee houses in the Edmonds Bowl. This one provides the best all-around coffee experience. The staff is obnoxiously friendly, the line moves faster than any other b/c it is clear there is an assembly line type system. Its a Ford plant for coffee. It's also common sense via having enough employees on hand to handle the rushes. The price of beans and hot water are responsibly patron focused and their sense of community w/ their holiday giving tree / toys for the kids at Cedar Valley Elem., School drive is an answer to a community call that will sadly never end. read more

mmmmmm Coffee!!! The interesting thing about our couple of visits is that we didn't go out of our way to search for a coffee spot while we were in Washington. Rather we were introduced to Walnut Street Coffee by our AirBnb Host, Lindsay. She left us a gift card with a note saying it was her favorite coffee spot. So, of course, after we had coffee at the AirBnb, we had to stop by for more coffee and pastries before heading to downtown Seattle to visit the Public Market. Saturday, late morning, so of course the line was out the door, but as we'd already had coffee no big deal for us. Plus, so many guests with puppies so I was sufficiently distracted. We enjoyed our coffees both days we came here (cappuccino and macchiato the first day, PSL (eww) and mocha the second day) plus the amazing cinnamon roll, breakfast/farmers...pocket thing, and biscuit and jam. You had the option to warm things up (there were microwaves and plates available for use) but we opted not too (mostly cuz we didn't realize until after the fact on the first day). Cool vibe, popular spot, and great coffee! Definitely a sweet spot to visit! read more

My favorite coffee shop! The drinks are delicious, it's in a lovely spot in downtown Edmonds, and all of the employees are absolutely wonderful. I wish I lived closer, but I come by every chance I get. read more

Pros: Great lattes. Service was quick. Staff was courteous. Cons: not many. Maybe more choices for savory food, but we did come there for the food. read more

Such a cute and cozy spot! I got cortado and a latte both of which were creamy and great. Definitely will return!

I walked into this coffee shop on a whim and am so glad I did! The service was fantastic and the pastries awesome. I got the Almond Croissant and Blueberry Cheesecake Strudel--both YUM. I wasn't really digging my cappuccino but the whole experience and food made up for the drink I didn't particularly enjoy. It's the cutest place too! read more

Service was incredible while the coffee shop felt cozy and coffee was to die for. I will be a frequent visitor here whenever I am in Edmonds. read more

This is a cool little coffee shop. Coffee is very good. Nice staff. I will be returning here.

My absolute favorite local coffee shop! Great for studying, reading, working, or meeting with friends. I make sure to visit Walnut Street at least once whenever I'm in town! read more

First time here and I am not disappointed!! Ordered a white chocolate mocha (my usual at the "other" place) and was so in awe of this coffee!! I kept telling my husband "this is so good"! Something different turned into "something good"!! And the service was quick and the staff was super friendly!! read more

Like another Yelper on here, I walked in on a whim. I decided to stop by my old priest's new church (an hour away) coz I miss him! I needed to quench my thirst and hunger afterwards. This is such a cute little coffee shop on a neighborhood street corner. Those who live in walking distance are lucky...lucky coz there's great coffee and pastries there! It's got a great vibe. The staff are nice. I ordered a honey lavender latte & a blueberry cream cheese scone for now and a currant scone for later. Oh wow! These scones are definitely not baked somewhere and shipped in from a factory! Amazing! No pictures coz I devoured everything! Yum! I will definitely come back when I'm passing through. read more

Very cute residential coffee shop, just a few blocks off Main in Edmonds. Just know that their distance from the hustle and bustle does not keep the lines low here. Word is already out that Walnut Street Coffee makes excellent espresso, has a wonderful selection of pastries, and genuinely friendly baristas. A great place to hang out or to grab a cup to go (remember to BYO mug for a $0.25 discount!). read more

Walnut Street Coffee has a great selection of beverages and tasty bites. They can get pretty busy, especially on weekends or when the farmers market is going on in the summer, but lines usually move quickly. Friendly staff with good knowledge of their menu makes it easy to get reccomendations if you're not familiar with their menu. Honestly, we've never left disappointed with anything we've bought. They have vegan, gluten free and organic options for those particularly inclined. Most everything is locally sourced. I'm a fan of their chai but their lattes are excellent as well. read more
