I had a great Matcha latte

Short staffed today. Not the employees' fault, poor management. I waited in the drive-thru, but when that wasn't moving I decided to park and go inside. Waited for 10-15 minutes, but eventually got up and left without my coffee as I was running late. I think they forgot my order. It was chaos with the lack of staff, and I didn't get the impression it would have been a good coffee even if I did get it. Seems like everyone was getting sugar syrup with a little coffee, didn't get the vibe this is the place for just good coffee.

Barracuda Coffee is hands down my favorite drive-thru spot. The staff is always friendly, the drinks are consistent, and the energy is just good. The Double Red Bull is perfectly balanced every time, and they even make the cutest kid drinks. Super clean, cozy vibe with fast service — you can tell they care about what they do. I also love their food but I would just warn about how dry their croissants are.

Barracuda is back and as great as ever. The staff, the food, the atmosphere. This is a coffee shop that loves God and their community.

One of my favorite neighborhood spots! The staff (I think their names were Jessa and Jacob in particular) are always so kind and get it right every single time, the coffee is great (and fairly priced for the quality) on it's own but the business as a whole is wonderful. Will continue to drive by on my way to work 😊

May 2025 Edit: Barracuda has been my go-to. Loved the owners, all the staff, and made great connections with customers that were regulars just like me. Ahava took over and has erased everything they possibly can that was Barracuda. They’ve fired all of the staff because they “aren’t a good fit”. It’s heartbreaking to see how dark and depressing such a great neighborhood shop has become. The last OG Richland Coffee Shop. It used to be such a warm, inviting and comfortable place. Now it’s just a cold, dark, unwelcoming, generic coffee shop with no personality. And judging by how empty the shop is when I drive by I’m guessing I’m not the only one that feels this way. RIP Barracuda Coffee.

Cam, stop blaming the economy or a “tough transition” for all of this. You erased everything that we loved about our coffee shop.

Original Review: Barracuda has been my go-to coffee shop for almost 20 years. The owners and staff are friendly and they love the community they serve. It’s a couple blocks off the bypass but it’s easy in and out and back into the bypass if you’re in a hurry.

Great drinks, coffee and other kinds

Cute coffee shop and super friendly workers!
Also was pleasantly surprised when I saw they offered multiple GF pastries.

I love this place. Dogs friendly patio. I did go by at 6am on a Saturday when they’re supposed to be open though and they were closed so I’m not sure the hours are accurate
