"Updated review Sept: Very loud today. Not always but could barely hear the order over the chatter inside. They did have a group that just arrived making my order 20+ minutes which does happen and dont fault them for that but the noise component was ridiculous and compounded from the choice of building materials and design for the space in such a small area. Wish I had one of those stadium noise meters they use at football games cause I think it would have been interesting to see. The coffee was fine just delayed quite a bit. Updated review: I frequent a number of coffee shops and this place is routinely giving me my mocha at a warm but not hot temperature and often I end up microwaving it to get the temperature up. Im not sure if its their machine or the staff in how they do it but its consistently not as hot as starbucks or other places. Other than that, I enjoy the flavor of the mocha. Past review: First timer here. Tried the lemon/berry scone and was fresh and good. Also had a mocha and very much liked the balance flavor of coffee to chocolate. I can be pretty tough on my mochas and this one suits me well. The service was very friendly and timely. It was fairly busy with seating near capacity. The atmosphere could be better and seating area more inviting would be my only complaint but they're doing as much as they can with the space. Really wish we had some nice options like this for coffee with good spaces located along the trail nearby to enjoy the river slough. If enough people comment with redmonďs planning of comp plan that can be a reality and perhaps a business like this could step up to advocate for it. All in all good place for coffee but parking can be challenging at times."

"I’ve been going to this café quite a bit over the last few months and their drinks are fantastic, wonderful ambience, and extremely nice staff! Staff is quite young, but polite and clearly good at their jobs. Pros: Great food & coffee, nice ambiance, well-located, friendly staff Cons: not much seating, service can sometimes be somewhat slow, prices (but fairly comparable to everywhere so that doesn’t really count)"

"I rarely leave more negative reviews. There are so many coffee shop options in Redmond, so want to make sure others choose the right place to spend their time and money. We came in at 4:15 pm (they close at 5 pm). They were short staffed. They were out of whipped cream for the hot coco. The hot coco was quite lukewarm. They were out of brewed coffee. And we could only take out (they stopped doing for here orders). $11 bill for 2 drinks. I've had good experiences at Doppio and the Screaming Parrot cafe. Both are within walking distance of this place, so take a look at those places over here."

"Their coffee and pastries are soooo good, and I'm super finicky about that. They make the absolute best cappuccinos. Their kouin amann pastry is my favorite- its the perfect combo of soft and doughy with a nice crisp crunch and sweet sticky glaze. The rewards are generous, every few coffees I'm able to get a free one. This place gets pretty busy so wait times are long. As long as they're friendly and doing their best I can't complain."

"I cannot recommend this place enough. I ordered the Cafe Stefano for myself and the Milk Honey Cinnamon latte for my wife. Both MAGNIFICENT lattes, definitely the best we've had so far on our Washington trip and possibly the best ever. Also shared a delicious ham and cheese croissant. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff"
