16 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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~“

“We stumbled onto Nelle's on a lazy Sunday afternoon and it is delightful! It's one of the most welcoming places I've ever been, with comfy banquette and table seating, toys for kids, and a tasty selection of food and drinks. The pretzel was bigger than my head!
The staff were so understanding when I accidentally dropped my tray, cleaning it up with smiles and kind words.
The stylish, curated decor deserves a mention, too. When I opened the door I stepped into the perfect vision of a cute neighborhood cafe. I'm only visiting Burien but if I ever come back this will be at the top of my list.“

“Randomly dropped by here craving a milkshake after the burger place down the way said their machine was down. I am so glad I did! I was warmly greeted and made the best milkshake - it hit the marks I was looking for. Mocha peanut butter. And I threw in a chocolate chip muffin as well 🥰

Thank you for the kind ladies at the stand for saving my day 🙌“

“🐞 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! 🐞“

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.“

“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!“

“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. 🙂“

“This is my favorite coffee shop, hands-down. They have great customer service, Ashlee and Kaitlin Genuinely care if you like your drink and trusting their suggestions when trying something new has led me to some of my favorite drinks. I genuinely cannot say enough, things about them and this location.“

“This is my go to store on a Sunday morning, I see many people come here to sit and watch the city wake up.. on a week day this place is on fire. I believe it’s because this place has a very efficient drive through speed!! My top drink?! Nitro cold brew with vanilla sweet cream the cup it comes in you would think you were just poured a Guinness! My favorite foods?! Bacon Gouda sandwich or the bacon and gruyere sous-vide bites. Not to mention the parfaits they serve are delish as well“

“This is a great Starbucks locations. I always order here and they always make my drinks correctly! They are super fast with order pickups and staff is very friendly. If you sit inside, it's really big and has really nice seating and ambiance. One of the better locations I've been to. Has a drive-thru too. Thanks to all who work here!“
