Drive thru coffee. Expensive, but tasty and an extra shot of espresso in the frozen drinks was needed to make it taste like coffee. After tax it averaged about $10 for a large 24 ounce coffee frappe drink.

I ordered my usual double iced espresso with flavor and oat milk to the top and was charged for a latte. On top of that, I was given attitude by the barista and then the owner. THE SNARKY OWNER TOLD ME NOT TO COME BACK after gaslighting me that my order was a latte not an iced espresso +flavor + oat mill. This is my go to drink everywhere I go and it’s never been an issue or charged double. My order usually ranges $6 and I was charged $9 because I asked for a bit more milk over a visible 1” of ice (as my cup full of ice) and I usually get it packed with ice and milk to the top. I was charged an ounce of milk at $3 🤣. I most certainly will not be coming back after a year of coming here and now that I’ve met the owner.

I love KJ’s I come here all the time. I got a 12oz gold lotus energy drink with 2 syrup flavors and the total was about $6.39 before tip. They staff are all kind and helpful, I will say though that the wait is long. The drive thru can be about 12-15 minutes at any given time which is probably a testament to how loved they are!

I have been coming to this stand for the past year about biweekly mostly because of the atmosphere and how sweet the girls are that work there and they always make great friendly conversation. Today I had the worst experience with the girls working at 11am on 5/24/25. This is not the normal customer service that was the normal baristas. Very rude right when I pulled up, did not want to make conversation or suggestion for a drink, I almost drove off and went somewhere else and I should have. Very sad to see the new employees turning this cute coffee place into a toxic culture. I see some other people reviewing saying the same and I’m sure the good reviews are when they run into the original baristas at least I hope they are still around.

The staff is always so friendly, and they make an excellent mocha. The seasonal drink menu has a lot of creativity and tasty treats!

Used to go to KJs regularly for over a year but for the last six months I end up kicking myself every time I go. If you get the wrong barista, prepare to be shocked by their lack of professionalism and customer service basics. My drink was made wrong and when I mentioned that it didn’t look how it normally looks (I get the same thing there every time and this time they completely left the espresso shots out of it so I paid $6 for some ice, milk, and sweetener) she stared at me blankly and just said “well I asked you.” I don’t even know what that means but I was so taken aback at the total disregard of politeness and care that I just took my sweet milk and left. Also don’t use their drive through lane if there’s more than 2 cars in it. You’ll be waiting at least 15 minutes. It’s amazing I honestly don’t know how they manage to take so long. Also if you order the exact same drink multiple times, the cost of it will vary every time up to like multiple dollars difference. Depending on your barista and how they ring you up, you might be charged $7 for a drink that was $5.50 yesterday. And don’t you dare try to bring that up to them cuz they won’t change it or try to help you.

I come to this coffee place all the time and who ever is working today is some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They are not the normal baristas I see and boy do they have attitude. My vanilla latte with oat milk doesn’t taste right like the espresso beans were burnt or it’s the wrong milk I can’t figure it out. I went home which is up the street and decided to come back. They gave me grief about not exchanging it right away and that they would have to charge me for the second drink. I am not a difficult customer and my whole extended family comes to this stand and we never have any issues but today was almost bad enough to never come back! I am so disappointed in the whole interaction and feel gross drinking the coffee after that encounter honestly!

Legitimately good coffee. I'm a teacher and one of my parents brought me a latte and blueberry muffin one morning and the muffin was one of best blueberry muffins I've ever had. I went back recently on my own and got a mocha and breakfast sandwich. The mocha was perfect, not too sweet, and the breakfast sandwich was surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much since it's premade and heated in the microwave but after my first bite, I was completely shocked. The bun was still nice and crisp on the outside, not soggy, the egg was fluffy, and the Canadian bacon was so flavorful. Everything here is a 10/10.

I have been many times and the person who prepares the drinks on most days at this stand is consistently unfriendly. My most recent visit was particularly unpleasant hence the review. The hostile vibe is outside of what one normally encounters at coffee shops and stands around Seattle so it may be worth visiting once just for the novelty. I would otherwise recommend choosing from the myriad options around. I won't be going back.
