I love the coffee and food here especially the pesto bagel and burritos but I was shocked to see they use canola oil spray and were getting a Costco delivery. Maybe I assumed local eats meant you got produce locally but I guess not? I’m totally fine with Costco ingredients but while you’re shopping there could you please grab the avocado oil spray instead of canola? I think we’re all over seed oils by now…

I am not a fan of their brand of coffee grounds. It makes my coffee drink taste off. Otherwise, food was fantastic! Fruit is fresh, and I felt so very comfortable hanging out! I even almost made a new friend! They were very busy when I arrived at 10:30a, so service was a bit lacking on the inside but, I did not have to wait long for my food and drink to be served to me in the dining area! Overall, great experience, will be going back.

I had such a wonderful experience at The Garden Coffee! The breakfast options are absolutely delicious – the quiche is a standout, perfectly baked with a rich, savory filling that pairs wonderfully with their drinks. The customer service was top-notch; the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s rare to find such genuine, helpful service! I also couldn’t help but notice the gorgeous wooden tables – it’s not often you see such high-quality craftsmanship in coffee shops, and it really adds to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot for both the amazing food and the outstanding service!! And the the beautiful flowers on the tables were such a lovely touch, adding a fresh and charming vibe. Highly recommend this spot for both the amazing food and the outstanding service!

My first time visiting, this morning, and stopped in with my husband to grab a quick coffee to-go. Neat location and inviting seating area for possible future coffee-dates. Unfortunately, my americano was terrible and the baristas seemed disorganized and unable to make drinks in a timely fashion (ordered 2 drinks and waited 8-10 minutes. There was 1 drink ahead of ours, no one else in line, and a couple food orders being boxed up between 5 employees). I’d asked for extra ice, and when they noticed that it only had a thin layer of ice in the drink, the gal filled more ice to maybe 1/5th of the cup, overflowing a significant amount of the coffee out of the cup, which she continued to drain out as she smashed the lid on top (bye, shots). This resulted in an overpriced, very weak overwatered and under-iced americano in a drowning lid and dripping cup. No apologies. No remakes. At this point, we were late for an appointment and didn’t have time to ask for a correct drink. Bad first impression. I can see the appeal of the place, but it’s a no from me.

The acai bowl is not made to order and comes out as a brick. I've never been served it like this anywhere else. The latte is tasty if not oversweetened. Hemp milk is a great option for alternative milk which is available. Price however is a sticking point. The base price for a latte is what you would expect to pay for a drink with 1 or 2 flavors included at pretty much any other local joint, but .80 cents per flavor added makes a two flavor drink (or one flavor and an alternative milk) over $8 with tax.

It was a nice breakfast but it is way over priced. My son and I both had avocado toast and the sourdough slice was tiny. For almost $11 for a piece of toast I would expect a much larger piece, particularly since that seems to be what sourdough is known for. My avocado was also crunchy and not ripe. We all had acai bowls as well and they tasted great but we had to wait for the acai to thaw. Over all I just feel like it wasn't worth the nearly $100 we spent.

Asked repeatedly to have crispy bacon on a breakfast Sammy and it’s just as raw as in store. Not what I asked for at all, the egg isn’t even cooked right. Some employees have attitude when you correct them about what you ordered and they have to redo it. This place used to be good but it has taken a sharp fall. I won’t be back.

I was driving through the dingy world of Spokane, hoping there was a place for my daughter and I to sit down at a cozy, family friendly cafe, and eat some nourishing food. We were so happy to have found this place! We felt invited to stay for hours and keep ordering more drinks and snacks while we worked on our homeschool lessons. I truly appreciated the environment and the healthy, delicious food.

Wonderful little coffee shop! The chai latte and the farmer quiche were both absolutely delicious! Wonderful and fast service even as busy as they were!

Always good food and coffee. Sometimes a bit noisy to have conversation easily but it is a popular spot so that is to be expected.
