I was visiting my brother and his family in Spokane and stopped by to get my first cup of coffee in the city.I wasn't disappointed. The service was excellent, the vibe in the coffee house was friendly, and the coffee was excellent.Inside First Ave Coffee, they have stools that are in the front window, and I sat there eating my cake donut and Sumatra pour over.

Nice specialty coffee shop. Beautiful automatic pour over machines - amusing to behold! Had a natural Ethiopian and an Ethiopian-Colombian blend. Was ok, but no more than that. The cups lacked clarity and brightness for me, didn’t have enough character, felt somewhat generic and somewhat roasty - both had that kind of sunflower seeds taste layer kind of thing that felt like it’s a reflection of overroast. Nonetheless, there was some kind of aftertaste.Had a great Colombian cortado though! Next time I am here, I’d go straight for an espresso drink and maybe some bite.Nice vibe, comfortable armchairs!

Coffee and food was not bad but coming from Melbourne, I can't say the coffee is exceptional. Been there a few times when in town, there was one time when the barista said oh sorry I stuffed up the latte art and she still served me that coffee. This will never happen in Melbourne. LOL.

To the barista working hard & on her own during a morning rush-- Thank you. As someone who has been in your place before, you rocked it. My latte was perfect. Your service was lovely. I really appreciate all of it.

We were honored to partner with First Avenue Coffee to launch our alcohol-free pop-up event business, Diversion Events! Doyle and Carri were flexible, passionate, and welcoming hosts. Their staff is creative, talented, and tireless. The space is immaculate and perfect for an event. The mocktail menu is impeccable and sourced beautifully, not mention their regular food and drink options. Basically, they approach all they do with excellence, and it shows. We are now life-long fans of First Avenue Coffee and forever grateful to them!

Definitely set up for coffee, less so for breakfast (or any) food. That said, 'coffee' is in the name and 'breakfast' is not so I can't really complain. And since the coffee was great, four stars. Space is stark; fixtures are interesting. Efficient staff. I asked for cream for my mug of drip coffee and was handed the barista's plastic half gallon jug (like from the grocery store). The fork that came with my (not so breakfast-y) sandwich was dirty. I would go back for coffee.

I've tried F1rst Ave about 3 times now and their coffee is just okay which is unfortunate since I love their ethical practices! They make their syrups in house which I also love so much, I just wish they were more flavorful for the price point. There is a drop in space for those with wfh and even a large meeting area. Their pastries are what I go for though! And their associates are kind and very friendly. I'll stop in to try a few more flavors but for now they're sitting at a 3 for me.
