Comfortable cafe offering drive-through service. There's also plenty of parking in the plaza. I arrived a little after 6am and ordered a much-need cappuccino and breakfast sandwich (I chose croissant, ham, and pepper jack cheese). I'd reviewed pricing on their menus online in their personal website, and it is very, very outdated with pricing. I've uploaded a few pictures of their in-cafe menus here for future customers to reference. They also serve some fancier drinks like honey lavender lattes, which are advertised on the shop windows (not pictured).
My bill came out to $13, which was a splurge-y breakfast for me. The coffee was a bit burnt and very milk-heavy. It didn't quite hit the spot, unfortunately. The sandwich, on the other hand, was glorious- substantial, hot, and oozing.
The atmosphere indoors was comfily communal- a large TV in the corner playing the news, a corner of pleather couches to sink into, plenty of seating and tables, with free Wi-Fi for customers. I could see this place being a favorite for its environment, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way again to grab...
Read moreUsually service here is great. The drinks are always on point. And service is friendly. We have been coming here for years supporting the wonderful things you guys do for our neighborhood community. Today however Angela? The only lady working at 2:45 was extremely rude. She asked what I wanted and started to make my drink, being a barista for 7 years I wanted to make sure she heard me say blended. She acted irritated and said I know just let me do it, I know what I'm doing. Her tone was not ok. I figured she may just be having an off day, until she opened her window and asked the people what they wanted, as they were trying to figure it out she said " I'm in a hurry and I've got people in the lobby too, do you know what you want or not." She never made eye contact or any kind of small talk. She was rude, cold, and not the kind of service we have come to know and expect at Mike's. Sadly she has put a bad taste in my mouth and I will probably cross the street...
Read moreWe're on a mini-vacation up from Olympia and needed caffeine to start the day. Instead of finding a starbucks, we decided to find a local place and are we ever glad we did. My wife ordered a 16oz Vanilla Latte and I got a strawberry smoothie. The smoothie is fantastic and the latte is pretty good. The price was fairly standard, about $8 for both drinks and they came quickly.
As we were sitting, several regulars came in and the waiter greeted several by name and confirmed they wanted the 'usual'. Which I think is super cute.
What really sold us though, aside from the friendly staff and delicious drinks, was the decor. They had our fav radio station, 106.7, playing. The sitting was a mix of armchairs and dark wood tables and they had a selection of books for customers to read and my wife found one of her favorite authors on the shelf.
All in all, this was a great experience and if we ever get the chance we'll...
