23 Best Coffee Shops in Issaquah

“The food was delicious and the service was great. My kids and I loved it! We will definitely stop the next time we are nearby.“

“A girl with blonde hair who worked today around 3 pm was super sweet and made the best coffee I have ever had. I definitely recommend this place they have so many flavors and I hope that girl gets a raise she’s amazing!!“

“An absolute gem for craft beverage lovers! Their attention to detail on the coffee bar is incredible, but the real standout for me is the matcha. It is smooth, vibrant, high-quality, and whisked to absolute perfection. On top of that, the menu offers great value for this level of quality. Just note that it is not a place to get work done, as seating is very limited and there are no outlets available.“

“ok stop here every weekend heading out of town today I think they forgot to out in the coffee in my latte - thought it tasted a bit sweet - when I removed the lid - milk is pure white - not a hint of coffee color in the drink lol“

“We love this place! We have been several times with our young kids and they are always great to them. Lovely variety of teas and baked goods, snacks, and plants (which adds to the decor).“

“Such a go-to spot for me. Anytime I’m nearby, I stop in. The staff is super friendly and they make really good coffee. Medici is one of my favorites. It’s refreshing and tastes great. The place is cozy, clean, and just feels welcoming. I also love their roast blends.

Like Luke 10:7 says, after a tough assignment it’s good to rest. This is a great place to chill and enjoy a good drink.“

“Always awesome and busy bc it’s great!“

“I really enjoyed Roberta’s class on masala chai. What a delightful way to learn more about blending AND be able to experiment while trying each other’s blends to discover taste preferences. I would definitely take another class from her.“

“Visited here from Slidell, LA and this was the first time I’ve tasted white coffee. It was really good!“

“A wonderful day like this make me feel stop by to get a cut of my favorite drink [Venti Starbucks Double shot (5shot of espresso ] for free � at my favorite starbuck store because I used to work there. It was feeling warm and friendly service. I got a good sample Reserve Coffee “Jamaica Blue Mountain” super awesome!! Thank you very much to “Eden” to give me try some �“

“Enjoy Your Coffee While You Shop — Perfect Combo!

I love the Starbucks inside the QFC at 2902 228th Ave SE in Issaquah! It’s so convenient to grab my favorite coffee and have it in hand while I complete my grocery shopping. The staff always makes my drinks just right with a friendly smile. The cozy little spot inside the store makes it easy to swing by for a quick pick-me-up or a relaxing break during errands.

If you want a seamless shopping experience with great coffee by your side, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Go to this spot if you're after a Starbucks that is large enough to feel expansive, and has a variety of seating. You know what you're getting in terms of coffee, eats and wifi...you either like the java they serve or you don't (I personally don't drink it). So I go here if I am needing a touch down spot, and dependable wifi.“

“Of the many places around to get coffee, this is my favorite. Excellent quality drinks (GREAT coffee and craft espresso drinks, as well as Italian sodas and even a few smoothies). Everyone is incredibly friendly and quick. Love it every time I’m there.

Dietary restrictions: Delicious gluten-free options, including fresh baked muffins (you’d never know they’re gluten free) and loaded breakfast bowls.“

“Very good coffee and Italian soda strawberry and raspberry Italian soda"s etc...“

“After my brother was bit by the weird man at eastside physicians hospital, I took him here to make him feel better.

I asked for a latte, and I also asked the employees to drain their blood and give it to my brother, and I also asked them if they have a cure to being bitten by a weird cloaked man. They were a bit confused, and didn’t agree, but the latte was made and given to my brother. I decided to drain my own blood and put it in my brothers latte.“

“Used to come here all the time but the vibe has shifted. Everyone used to seem so happy, but last I went in there they were all getting barked at by an older woman who I’m assuming was their manager. But from what I saw the only thing she managed to do was stress out and confuse her employees. Starbucks has been going through lots of changes as of recently and none have seemed to be for the better. Only giving a high rating for the standout baristas who have always given me a great experience. But what I saw literally scared me for them.“

“A girl with blonde hair who worked today around 3 pm was super sweet and made the best coffee I have ever had. I definitely recommend this place they have so many flavors and I hope that girl gets a raise she’s amazing!!“

“My wife and I love Espresso stop and have been coming here pretty consistently since we moved in 2025. I typically get the White Chocolate Americano and she loves the Butterscotch latte. We've tried every coffee shop in town and we find that these folks are the most consistent with their overall quality and with their espresso pulls. They're genuinely nice individuals who don't make conversations feel forced like you might find at other chains like 7brew or Dutchbros. S/O to Jessie for being a superstar manager and remembering our orders and the rando nuances we have. Thanks so much y'all!

We're not deducting points for this because the coffee is spectacular, but for future consideration - an awning in your drive thru would be a welcome update to help keep everyone dry in the PNW rain.“

“My guilty pleasure!

I always get a hot Fern's Fireside mocha, and sometimes the banana bread or cinnamon roll. I used to go nearly every day before work, but I have been limiting myself to 1-2/week to save money. The lovely baristas absolutely know their regulars and their orders. There are two I see most often, and they always make my mornings even a bit better--thank you both!!! ❤️

Prices are similar to Starbucks but the quality is much better. Like EVERYWHERE, prices have gone up in the past few years, so expect about $6-8 per 16-24oz coffee drink before tip.

Overall, service is excellent. There are very few times where my drink was made incorrectly, but only when I didnt recognize the batista and/or they were in training (no big deal!! It's part of learning!) With few exceptions, service time is ABSOLUTELY reasonable. I think people have gotten so used to the fast-food feeling (and taste) of Starbucks that they forget good coffee takes a few extra minutes...

They get crazy busy on Sunday mornings, so avoid going at that time if you're in any rush.

Loyalty program is free and totally worth it. Free drink up to 24oz after I think 10 orders? Yum!“

“Donuts at this place were amazing. Lots of variety and everything is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend as a coffee / breakfast spot.“

“Great service. Noisier than I recall, but maybe it is just busier.“

“Our soccer team just had a donut fundraiser and Krispy Kreme #1111 went above and beyond to fulfill our order! We are so grateful! They were easy to work with. We hope to reach out to them in the future for another round of orders! Thank you again!“

“Drive thru is sometimes super slow but I love this Starbucks overall. The service is great, location is amazing especially after a long day, love the views as I enjoy coffee. I also love coming here when I want to have a coffee date with my daughter, great spot to sit and have 1:1s.“
