Espresso-Ly-Yours — Restaurant in Everett

I’m a regular at Espresso-Ly-Yours.... or I was until today. Anybody who goes here knows the situation getting in sometimes can be difficult if you are traveling east to get in having to make a sharp turn in. I swung wide to allow the vehicle behind me to not sit in the road. He took it as an opportunity to wedge between my truck nearly hitting my door and striking the vehicle in front. I ended up calling 911 to report the guy and he made his way to the window. The barista then told the customer that he and myself were not getting served. This guy in the photo sped off tires blazing and I asked her why I was not being served. Her reply is she didn’t see what happened, so I nodded and left. She had a right to refuse business, I get it. This morning I went back and she apologized saying that the womans vehicle in front, was indeed struck. She also said this guy had also done it before and other baristas have had issues with this same guy and his temper. Always the same guy at around 2:45am in the old beat up light blue and primer Ford camper special. I asked her if that’s the case, why don’t you refuse service to this guy for disruptive and rude behavior. Apparently the owner is ok with that because the barista spoke with him. It’s all about money. The barista did her job but the owner refused to do anything. For this, He has a right to refuse business. Any business owner knows this. As a customer, I have a right NOT to spend my money at a business. In this case, I chose not to buy my coffee there. Is the business convenient? Yes. Are the baristas nice? Yes. The coffee is not always consistent. Luke warm mostly and spot on at other times and burnt a couple times. I’ve never complained in the 10 + years going there. Today that streak ended. Only a few bucks the owner may say... so what? 1100.00 dollars a year. Maybe a couple other customers have the same thought? It adds up. So his refusal to serve someone who is disrespectful and dangerous, as that guy was, cost him a customer.. maybe more if you agree with this. What is the cost of doing business ethically? The owner had a decision to make and he chose lining his pockets over making that decision. His right.... my...

I go here every day, and prefer going here over anywhere else for a few reasons. First off, they make their drinks consistently. No matter who is working, my drink always ends up tasting the same. Two, it always costs the same! Seems like other coffee stands' prices jump up and down depending on who's working, but not here. My final reason is the rewards system. Other coffee stands hand out "punch cards", and while this might work for some people, I seem to always lose mine, making it pointless to accept them in the first place since I never make it to the "free drink". Here, on the other-hand, they just ask for my phone number, and keep my "stamps" in their computer. This has allowed me to utilize the rewards system a lot more often, and I easily racked up a couple free drinks with just a few weeks use. On top of all this, the service is unmatched and the baristas here are always super friendly and super quick. This is the best coffee stand around!!!

EDIT: would also like to mention that they are open 24 hours!...

This is my favorite coffee stand in the area Just by their prices alone. 😂 The girls that work there are all extremely friendly and Make a good cup of coffee.

My only complaint which isn't even that big of a complaint, is that the location is actually atrocious. It's so cramped and small that when somebody leaves the window and you're trying to pull up until they pull on to the busy main road which might take a moment, you can't even fully pull up. Realistically you can get about three cars into that line before you're spilling out onto the road.

But for the quality cost and service, I endure and definitely would recommend...
