20 Best Coffee Shops in Poulsbo

“A hidden gem! Some of the best baked goods in Poulsbo and an innovative menu with consistent favorites and rotating soups and specials.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a coffee enthusiast who has sampled brews across the US and Europe, I can confidently say Hot Shots Java stands out for more than just its excellent coffee. Their commitment to cleanliness and safety is unparalleled—I've never seen a coffee shop that cleans its air vents daily! This attention to detail speaks volumes about their dedication to customer well-being. Clean air vents are crucial for improving air quality, reducing fire risks, and ensuring food safety. It's reassuring to know that Hot Shots takes this seriously, preventing the spread of harmful bacteria like E. coli and salmonella and reducing the risk of mold and food spoilage. Beyond their impeccable cleanliness, Hot Shots Java offers a warm, inviting atmosphere in the heart of historic downtown Poulsbo. Their organic, fair-trade coffee is custom roasted locally, and they use top-quality ingredients in all their offerings. It's no wonder they've been voted Best Coffee and Baristas in North Kitsap for over 8 years. Their commitment to the community through local sourcing and support of the Fishline food bank is admirable. For a coffee experience that combines great taste with peace of mind, Hot Shots Java is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“amazing experience!! super good latte and great customer service“

“Nordic Coffee carries Cafe d'Arte, fine beans and roast, the only Americano I will drink, and terrific customer-centered service!“

“This little coffee stand is an absolute gem. It’s small and quaint, the kind of place that feels instantly welcoming. The coffee itself is excellent and clearly made with care—but what really makes this spot special is the owner.

Kristie has personality and charm, it feels less like ordering a drink and more like catching up with an old friend. Whether it’s her genuine smile, or the way she seems to remember everyone’s “usual,” the stand has a heartbeat that bigger coffee shops just can’t replicate.

If you’re looking for more than just a caffeine fix, this is the place. Highly recommend stopping by!!!“

“Ive lived down the street for 3 years, but never walked in there until the other day. I thought my iced coffee was delish (some shops around here dont make iced coffee right)“

“They are by far my favorite place in Kitsap county to get coffee definitely better then Starbucks & Dutch Bros & Austin Chase Coffee“

“Best coffee on this side of the Mississippi River!! Hands down

Kid-friendliness: Espresso gone wild is one of the greatest places I've ever been to in the best coffee on the peninsula. I brought the whole family there. Grandma on both sides of the family and my 15 kids from 3 past marriages.“

“I am way on the other side of the US, and I completely recommend the coffee and just the experience you get from the entire staff of Caffe Cocina!

“I personally love green star coffee. The girls there are still friendly we all know each other by name they know what I drink I don't even have to order..... They Rock“

“Great food and a great cause❤️❤️❤️“

“A Starbucks is a Starbucks. Loud inside bad design . If you want a industrial loft atmosphere you get tons of echo from people talking and Baristas yelling . Not a relaxing kind of place. They play music but it is hard to hear. Grest coffee and goodies .waitresses are always very pleasant. Price. High for what you get.“

“Great team very welcoming came out and brought us all of our drinks so we could enjoy the waterfront!“

“I ordered the "Ring of Fire" sandwich online and picked it up. The order was ready on time, and it tasted delicious. The chedar jalapeños bagel paired well with the siracha mayo, turkey, and bacon. Will definitely be ordering this sandwich again.“

“I just now ran in for the restroom while my man went through DT for our drinks. The restrooms were CLEAN! Lobby- CLEAN! Parking lot: clean! Accuracy of order: CLEAN! Connection at window: 110%! I’m an ex Starbucks partner, this location is spot on. (Pictured- Tall Vanilla Bean Frap, 1 Blonde shot, caramel walls & topping, with whip)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been to hundreds of Starbucks locations across the country, and I can confidently say I’ve never met a staff more genuinely friendly than the one here.

Dale Carnegie once said, “A person’s name is to that person the sweetest sound in any language.” I thought of that the moment they greeted me by name—after only two visits! It completely caught me off guard in the best way.

Since then, I’ve stopped in at different times of day, and the experience has been consistently excellent. There’s always a steady stream of customers, yet somehow never an unreasonable wait and never a single mistake in my orders (which, for a Starbucks veteran like me, is rare!).

As someone new to the area, I’m still learning its rhythms and nuances, but the warm welcome I’ve received here has genuinely made it easier to feel at home. The team here sets the gold standard for customer service—proof that kindness and consistency never go out of style. ☕✨“

“So this review is specifically for Alyssa, a manager at the Field House who helped me when ordering breakfast. I originally stood alone by a cash register for about 5 minutes waiting for service. I was in plain site, but the young women to my right never made eye contact, not said they’d be right with me. So I raised my voice to ask for help and one of the young women, after giggling and ignoring me, went to the register. No smile, looked annoyed, and said they were short staffed. Like I’m supposed to know that. She had the attitude that I was being disrespectful when she and the other girl ignored me to be served. When I asked for a manager, Alyssa showed up. Totally understanding, professional, and kind. She understood the issue and said she was sorry. The girl in question walks away laughing. I know Alyssa will make sure her employees know to greet customers and let them know they’ll be right with them in the future. I appreciate her so much.“
