"I love Dote in their other nearby location inside Microsoft Building 4, but this one is just not the same, the manager doesn’t seem to care as much as in the other location. This one is right by the transit center, please note that you still need a Microsoft badge to go in. Went there after lunch on a Tuesday, there wasn’t anyone there really besides us. The floors were not clean, leafs, random debris and dirt. The restrooms were messy and not clean - overall it was off-putting, nothing like the warmth environment in their other location. Stacks and stacks of cardboard boxes and plastic packaging and wrappers everywhere behind the bar (side door), again giving that messy and untidy look, not clean/cared for. I ordered a macaroon, they had 10 rows of various flavors on the display but didn’t give me any of those. The barista had to go back in the big freezer, bring out a large plastic container looking like a huge plastic loud egg carton, took one out and handed it out in a paper bag. It was inedible for at least 15 mins, which beats the purpose of enjoying desert WITH your coffee. Overall disappointed on the management, this place doesn’t receive nor give out the love it deserves, and I know how amazing a dote location can be. Hoping things will look better soon."

"Okay, this specific location is for Microsoft employees, accessible only through a badge, and located at Redmond Tech Station. But man, I loved the coffee! Felt so heartwarming to have a good latte and little art on top of it when the general campus standards across the globe are a brewed coffee from the machine, that won’t even go in without a chocolate. Ah! Good. As always, had a 12oz hot latte with regular milk. The barista was super nice, and a plenty of seating space. Will not shy away from the other 3 locations moving forward, 2 of which are accessible to the general public. Yuhu! Good coffee on campus!"

"Cute coffee spot in Redmond! I got the Hazelnut Milk Mocha and my boyfriend got the Caramel Latte. Truthfully, I felt like both drinks tasted identical and also did not have much flavor :( a bit disappointing. I would be open to coming back again to try something new, but this time around was a miss for me. Latte art was cute though and the barista was nice. I also like the interior a lot!"

"Dote coffee is always good, this place was a great discovery on my end...its quiet on a Monday workday, space is amazing and clean. I can't believe they have been here since Sept 2023. Downside of slowday is they dont have much fresh bakery food. They even have the schedule of the bus. Lots of busy MS workers getting to work, big bus, and trains merge.."

"Contrary to one review, this location is open to all. I suspect Microsoft Employees have badge access after hours, which may have caused confusion. Not much around here other than Microsoft, but a convenient spot to grab coffee if you happen to be waiting for a transfer to a bus."
