12 Best Coffee Shops in Burien

“We will be coming back! Great specialty coffee flavors, and the espresso itself is really flavorful.
Everything felt very balanced and nothing was overly sweet, and that includes the cream filled horn and the blueberry pastry with caramel underneath.
Wonderful service, as well. Super nice and friendly.
Roughly $50 after tip for two people, and 6 items. Two 16 oz drinks, two breakfast sandwiches, two pastries.“

“We stopped at Moya Ethiopian Restaurant & Coffee for lunch during our family vacation in Seattle, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel completely welcome; genuinely warm hospitality that made our family feel right at home.

The food was outstanding. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and it was clear a lot of care goes into every dish. We tried a variety of plates and every single one was delicious, rich, authentic flavors that had all of us going back for more injera to scoop up the last bites.

Beyond the food, what really stood out was how attentive and kind the staff were throughout our meal. It never felt rushed, and they were happy to answer questions and make recommendations, which we really appreciated as first-time visitors.

If you're in the Burien/Seattle area, do not miss this place. We'd go back in a heartbeat and will absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Five stars, well earned!“

“Visited on a Sunday afternoon after a friend recommended this local spot in Burien.
We tried the bacon sandwich, $13 from the breakfast menu, and the Cuban melt $15 from the lunch menu.

While the café itself has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The bacon sandwich felt a bit too small for the price, and the Cuban melt could have been much better if they had added some Dijon mustard to balance the richness of the mayo—it would have brought out the true flavor of a Cuban sandwich.

Staff were kind, and the space has a neighborhood charm, so I’d be open to coming back to try their pastries or coffee.“

“Great coffee. Friendly service“

“I’ve made it my Wednesday ritual to stop by this coffee stand every week, and I can’t compliment it enough. Every week I see the same barista Kayla, and her friendly attitude and quick wit genuinely make the experience so great that I can’t wait to come back the next week. The drinks are delicious and reasonable prices, and they have a rewards program to reward loyalty. I don’t like a lot of the coffee stands in the area, but this one specifically shines bright mainly due to Kayla’s conversation skills.“

“Drive thru was great. Fast and correct order delivered by friendly barista. Looks like there's some outside seating that is covered. We were just in the area for another reason and were looking for an alternative to Starbucks as they have recently changed their Chai latte and it tastes like water~“

“Cafe Elite has become our favorite weekly tradition! My mom originally introduced me to this spot because they offer fantastic sugar-free mochas, which are getting harder to find elsewhere—a total game-changer for her as a diabetic. While she sticks to the sugar-free classics, I’m a huge fan of their caramel frappes and macchiatos. The service is consistently top-notch, and the staff always makes us feel welcome. We can’t recommend them enough!“

“🐞 I have had only really good experiences at this place! From the café hut's adorable ladybug-colored exterior and its charming and beautiful baristas-- inside and out-- to the super delicious drinks served (my boyfriend ordered a coffee w/ cream and sugar, my friend got a medium-sized hot latté w/ an extra shot of espresso, and I decided on a vanilla chai tea latté [you're given the option of either vanilla or spiced]), I give the Ladybug Café 5 stars-- I mean, I had never even considered that there could exist a more delectable chai tea latté than the ones I used to buy at Starbucks, but then I discovered it at this very Ladybug Café! Yum! 🐞“

“I've made Sister's a part of my morning ritual over the course of this year. (Is it ironic I was referred to this spot by my sister????)But in all seriousness the coffee here is fantastic. The ladies here are very quick to memorize your drink, if you're like myself and have the usual go-to. I don't think I've had a bad beverage from here, ever. They offer punch cards too, which is a great incentive to keep coming back.Lastly, the drink's are consistent!Sister's Espresso sets a genuine proper standard that I feel most other Drive-thru Espresso stands and sit-down Cafe's alike, don't quite meet.Yall freakin' rock!“

“Vegetarian options: They got what ever you'll need. Green straws on Blue skys!

Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy, no eggs options!

Kid-friendliness: Young less caffeinated options, kind yo smaller persons!

Wheelchair accessibility: They do! Also pet friendly pup cup of sumen good. To accompany their elderly person's.“

“Starbucks is excellent, the variety of coffee and other drinks served both hot and cold are a convenient luxury I've grown accustomed to as I'm sure many have. Despite being overwhelmed at times, the staff typically remains kind and courteous as they swiftly accomplish the tasks needed to provide customers with their delicious products.“

“They are kind and fun! I got this today. 🙂“
