I came by this place a few Saturdays ago, and you know how you can immediately tell someone is not having their best day? I could tell just pulling up by the way she was moving and the look on her face that this larger girl was having possibly one of her worst.My routine is to ask for a mocha with light chocolate, but with about 3/4 of what they'd normally use. I'd barely gotten out "light chocolate" when she interrupted with "What else?"I bring my own cup and ask for it to be extra hot, and if they wouldn't mind making it in that cup so that the metal doesn't cool it down."Can I get it extra hot...""Got it" she interrupted again and immediately closed the window on me. Which...it was a couple Saturdays ago...the nicest day we'd had all winter, nearly 70 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, I was wearing a t-shirt and had the windows down, but...okay.She came back with the coffee a couple minutes later, handing me back my card, "Any tip on that?"I wasn't going to tip, in fact, I'd been debating on whether or not I was going to say anything about her behavior, but I don't know, since she asked I told her sure, she could add fifty cents. "Yeah no thank you" she replied, while once again shutting the window on me.I reached over, opened the window and looked to the barista working the opposite window, "This woman has a real attitude problem over here" and she helpfully pointed out that "Its a fifty cent tip!""She cut me off twice when I was trying to tell her what I wanted" I replied.The larger girl cut in with, "Its the machine, I can't hear over the machine, thank you sir" and shut the window on me again. I just drove away.No, the machines weren't the cause of her being ultra abrupt and rude, barely allowing me to get a word out...I've rarely worked in any other industry than the service industry and completely understand being stressed and/or just in a foul mood, but to exude it like that...to radiate it so completely as to make a customer feel uncomfortable while just trying to place an order...it was even kind of intimidating somehow. Its not fair to put that on anyone, let alone a customer you're going to have gall enough to ask for a tip. Then to give even more attitude because the tip isn't what you feel you're entitled to?On the other hand, I have to say that she knew what she was doing...the coffee was excellent...she did a great job with it. It wasn't as hot as I wanted, but it rarely is...she's a great barista but yeah I can't think of anytime I've ever felt anywhere near this level of hostility and I get an espresso nearly every day of the week while delivering throughout Kitsap county.Personally, it kind of sucks to be out in the sunshine, in a great mood on a beautiful day and then have some negativity, some random person with an attitude land right smack in the middle of it. I didn't ask for it...and I'm sure there have to be others that have felt the same. Take it down like four notches, it wasn't that busy, there was no need to be like that.

Sky Kai has the best breakfast sandwiches. And the breakfast burrito is also simple and delicious. Their breakfast options are always exactly what I am looking for when I am out and about.

Really tasty coffee, good roast for both hot and iced drinks. Fast friendly service. Really affordable and I would go out of my way to stop here again if I was on Bainbridge Island.

Visiting from Florida. For a nice little shop, I was incredibly shocked by the amazing food and coffee! The service was excellent :) Thank you!

Matt Dakota

Always friendly and they all make good coffee. Or tea.

Tara Short

Really great coffee at a great price. The staff are usually friendly, they almost always ask you to try your drink before driving away so they know they did it right. With the semi newly paved lot, it's nicer to go through the coffee stand.

Have always loved this coffee shop , good coffee but my last experience was horrible and will not be returning as the lady's were super rude last time I came after a miss understanding with my order. Practically threw my drink at me after that.

Lucas Van Antwerp

Exceptional local coffee shop, there is usually a wait but the ladies make it move. Friendly, personal, respect.

Beautiful location with just the perfectly relaxed barista for the morning. Too bad I was on a quick business trip: IF ONLY I HAD TIME FOR A FANCY LATTE OF SOME KIND - yes I had black coffee that sure beat the Guest House Inn room coffee.
