This local cafe is a hidden gem. At least it was unknown by me. I would see the long line in the drive-through, but today, I realized how wonderful it was. My partner and I ordered a latte, a current scone, and an almond croissant. The two ladies there were super friendly and full of positive vibes. The coffee was perfect. They said the bakery items came from Alki Bakery, and they were super yummy. I highly recommend it and now I have a new regular place.

Great coffee, delicious pastries, and wonderfully friendly service make this a must visit coffee stop now that we've found it. This is a family run local business with the cheeriest service I have seen in a long time. They aren't just kind and polite, they are sincerely friendly. The place can give you a pick me up before you even get your coffee. We will definitely be back.

The best coffee in Seattle by far! Unlike Starbucks their coffee is not watered down. It’s fresh and they put the effort making my dollars worth it. Pastries are yummy and fresh, the facility is very clean. Very friendly staff and I believe the owner is who I frequently see there is super nice. He always offers my dog waiting outside a treat. I stopped going to Starbucks all together and get my coffee here every morning. Hands down best quality!

I am not impressed with Impresso Espresso. To be fair, staff were pleasant, but my concerns are with the products and application of the products. I don’t believe I’ve ever left a 1-Star review, but I just wasted 10 bucks and feel compelled to warn others. DO NOT order the AVOCADO toast or CHAI tea from this establishment. The “avocado toast” is a thin layer of presumably store-bought guacamole presented as a SANDWICH on thin Wonder Bread-inspired hint-of-sourdough toast. If they weren’t closed I would have walked back in and asked for a refund. The CHAI is Big Train Brand, and I ordered a 20oz with almond milk. It was hot as ordered, and completely full (YES!), but as weak as a steamed milk. Even when I asked for additional powder it wasn’t enough to taste like a chai I’d get anywhere else. If I have to ask yet again for more, they are clearly not following the directions on the package. Such a disappointment.

I was just passing through SEATAC on my way north and Googled for nearby coffee shops that WEREN'T $bux. This one popped up quite close, and I'm glad I stopped by! I hung out for a few hours waiting on someone else to fly in, and had a white mocha and one of their egg burritos. The food was delicious and much more generous than the aforementioned coffee chain for a similar price. I observed a lot of customer interaction while sitting in one of their comfy chairs, using the free wifi and charging up my devices. Consistently friendly, they know many of their customers well and take time to interact with them and build relationships. I'm impressed and would certainly recommend stopping here if you happen to be near SEATAC and are looking for a great, small-business coffee shop nearby.
