Pretty disappointed with the service here. No greeting, no smile—just staff chatting with each other while customers walk in.
I usually get a London Fog with oat milk, but it was super watery this time, and the $0.99 extra for milk alternatives feels overpriced.
Also, even though we were eating in, everything came in disposable containers, which just felt cheap.
It’s a shame because the place itself is really nice and the vibe is great, but the staff just seemed unfriendly and not really interested. A little care—and a smile—would make a huge difference.

The staff were friendly, and the coffee was good. I really liked the cozy vibe of the café — it’s a pleasant place to relax. Unfortunately, the egg bites I ordered were cold, which was disappointing. Overall, an okay experience but could be better with a bit more attention to food temperature.

We visited Queen Bee Cafe with three adults and two babies, and it was a great experience! There was plenty of room inside for a stroller, which made it very comfortable for our group.
The food was delicious—I had the avocado toast and a lavender vanilla iced latte, both of which were fresh and flavorful. The setup is convenient, with a counter for drink pick-up and another for food pick-up.
It wasn’t too busy when we went, and while the parking lot is small, there’s street parking available. There are also some outdoor seats that would be perfect on a nice day. A cozy spot with yummy food and a family-friendly vibe—we’ll definitely be back!

3.5 - I got the Mexican mocha. While the taste was good, I didn’t get much of the cayenne + cinnamon flavor. Additionally, the latte was so very sweet, that unfortunately I felt like I couldn’t finish it.

Absolutely love this place! Gives cute cozy vibes with delicious drinks and food! Just today I was on my walk and it started raining I came in to get a warm coffee and snack and was warmly greeted by Patricia who helped me choose a drink and even suggested a warm croissant! Am definitely coming back to try some more yummy treats rain or shine!

If you are looking for a delicious meal with “out of the beaten path touch” This place has it tasty food, great coffee, ambiance and friendly service. Locals eat here, highly recommend it And support it. The shop history and philanthropic foundation filled my satisfaction with my meal, :)

Very cute place. Love that they had a bookshelf for older kids and a basket of toys for younger ones.
Would be great to serve in ceramic cups and plates though

“Closing early due to staffing”- understandable, but upsetting. My partner has told me about the Crumpets from Queen Bee’s for over 3 years. We finally made the trip from Texas to Seattle only to drive 1.5 hours to hear they’re closing early. Staff was rude and dismissive. “We close in like 10 minutes.” They didn’t even offer us a coffee or anything. Very disappointing experience.

They don't recycle or compost which is a big disappointment. I'm taking my to go box that my sandwich was served in and coffee cup home to compost. The food and atmosphere very good.
The food and coffee are really good. Crumpets are top notch. Service is mostly good, but occasionally sort of disjointed. Nice place to work especially on a warm day.

Cute spot, parking could be tricky but we found street parking. Very clean, inviting and staff was very friendly. Husband's crumpets were very good. Never thought I would say the avocado toast had to much avocado but here we are. It was way over loaded so if u really love tons of avocado it's alot. Over all flavors were good.

The food is not bad, the coffee is not bad, but I did not expect worse service. The coffee in the photo is beautiful in a cup, but they brought us a sandwich and coffee in disposable dishes, which is not suitable for this cafe. They want self-service, but require tips.
