I've seen the building for years but for some reason never stopped in for a drink. Today was finally the day . . . and I can't believe I've waited this long to have the best coffee of my life. I've only tried two flavors: The Butterbeer Frapp and The Black Forest, although I personally didn't care for the Black Forest because the chocolate was overpowering the amoretto/cherry flavor but I think chocolate lovers would appreciate it more. The best coffee I've ever tried was hands down the Butterbeer -- it's an absolute must try. They also have humorous memorabilia that you can buy as shown in the pictures, and the cashier helping us was very friendly -- however the older woman making our drink seemed kind of rude; maybe she was just having a rough day but it really didn't effect our experience negatively. They have a lot of drink options, as well as cookies, bread, scones, bars and muffins. The location was a breeze to find; plenty of parking spaces and places to sit inside without feeling crowded.

But I haven’t in the past, so I don’t know when this started and whether there’s a sign explicitly stating this policy. I think the lady employee could’ve overall been...
Read moreMy wife and I decided to do a short staycation in Washington. We live about 70 miles away and love the small town vibes. This coffee shop was one of the first places I noticed and we went as our last stop in town and were not disappointed.
As others have said, the atmosphere is fantastic. The odd, mismatched furniture, funny decor, and whole environment is super cool and and makes it feel as though the owners and staff really put some thought and effort into make it a nice place to be.
Similarly, the food, service, and coffee are excellent and a minor mix-up with our order was addressed in a way that went above and beyond. My wife is still talking about her coffee there being the best she's ever had.
Not sure when/if we'll be back but we'll definitely stop in again if...
