“Came across Pollard while Googling local, small coffee roasters, and I'm so happy I did! Definitely one of our favorite coffees, been getting Pollard for a while now and it has never disappointed 😄 We always get compliments back when we gift Pollard coffee and their customer service is awesome! Have fun with the custom blend option, it's a nice feature, especially when giving as a gift ☕“

“Delicious espresso made with love. Stay awhile and enjoy local banter as neighbors lament the latest island life. Pro tip: They offer homemade chorizo breakfast burritos & a plethora of baked goods from various island artisans. Burton Coffee Stand is the pearl of Vashon’s oyster. Yum!“

“Great coffee, history! the apothacary is amazing, a library, clothes, jewelry, & yummy organic food. what more could one ask for?“

“Perfect quaint spot for espresso served in a delightful non-plastic real ceramic cup, a splash of cider or Italian wine, & the most amazing Parisian like strawberry flaky pastry that I have had since I was in Europe. What a great good-vibe Little Cup treat- excellent pastry chef too!“

“Cute atmosphere, tons of lovingly-made food options, and yummy (and affordable) bubble tea! I would have loved to try some of the food but I had already eaten. The owner was so helpful about navigating the island, he was very kind. Thank you!“

“I have enjoyed the fine coffee and relaxed ambiance of Cafe Luna since it first opened.“

“The raspberry pistachio eclair was the best we have ever had. A light touch of sweet with a delicious and creamy center. Absolutely exceptional! and the Americano was beautifully balanced and rich. This quaint shop is my new go to when in West Seattle!“

“On occasion, such as running an errand, I'll stop for breakfast at Little Jaye, and today I had the ham, cheese, & egg breakfast sandwich on brioche bun. It was prepared to excellence and I really enjoyed it. I usually sit outside on the patio to dine, very plesant.“

“The barista’s are always welcoming and warm. Their lattes are dreamy! The pastries are fantastic!“

“Fantastic food, vibes and service. Moored here in our boat and looked forward to going there each day. Thanks“

“This is by far the best coffee I have had in Seattle! Their drinks are so good and unique, it’s always hard to decide what to get but I love the cinnamon phin. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming, this place should be on a Michelin guide!“

“Fun vibe... great lattes featuring foam art.... I appreciate that! baked goods are delicious too.“

“First visit here. Parking near. Nice sized menu. Cashier was very sweet. The food was so so good and refreshing. The salmon sandwich was chefs kiss! Fresh and tasty fish. My wife got the rancher and she said it was amazing. My strawberry kiwi slushie was really sweet so I let it water down a bit. But it was still really good. Definitely recommend and will return.“

“Amazing coffee and reasonable price“

“Kimball Coffeehouse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 5/16/24, I visited Kimball Coffeehouse in Gig Harbor, Washington. This coffeehouse has a great history, which I’ve included a link to in the comments. Kimball Coffeehouse has live music on the weekends. The evening I arrived, they were setting up for Open Mic Night. They roast their own coffee beans. They have an extensive menu that includes Breakfasts, Smoothies, Sandwiches, Flatbread Pizzas, Salads, Soups, Snacks, and Desserts. I ordered a Spring coffee drink called Bees Knees, which is a Lavender & Honey Latte. The flavor combination was a bit too subtle for me, but it was good. Next time, I will try something else. The woman sitting next to me ordered a BLT, which looked excellent! One of the things I really like about Kimball Coffeehouse is they seem to have a lot of regulars. Coffee shops like that are hard to find.  I look forward to visiting Kimball Coffeehouse the next time I’m in town.… Highly Recommended!!!“

“Great coffee and impeccable service!“

“Amazing baked good - fresh and tasty!! Can’t wait to try their soup and sandwiches. Visiting from out of town but have returned a number of times during my stay to the friendly, good neighbor atmosphere! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I am not sure how many other things they offer. They have baked goods and good coffee. I stop by for the coffee. Next time I’ll try something else. They have a very pleasant staff that puts up with me. Peter The Wizard of the Zapata Legions of the North.... and Chicano Bee Master of the North“

“Excellent Starbucks destination! I love taking our friends and family here when they visit as part of the signature Seattle experience. Unlike regular locations, they have their own bakery, gorgeous iron ovens, and they serve alcoholic drinks. They will make your drink with an AeroPress, chemex, pour-over, Clover, or a few other options. Their whiskey barrel-aged cold brew is amazing. My gluten-eating friends and family tell me that the bakery items are incredible. Being fresh baked and with high quality ingredients. This is a great place to visit, and a place I go to again and again.“

“Friendly staff, best coffee and pastries. Fun place to paint.“

“Good morning my fellow reviewing entrepreneurs,This is another local spot my daughter and I go to here in Gig Harbor. We will come in here sometimes and just get the cheese plate or a little sandwich and a drink and sit around and just talk it's a very peaceful relaxing place they have indoor and outdoor seating. And it's on the corner the inside of the strip mall so you have a nice view if you sit outside on a sunny day. Staff are always friendly and helpful in what I like about it also is it's always clean and has a very cool eclectic feeling inside. I highly recommend stopping by any Cutters point but this one particular because this one I know the best.James...“

“Great coffee. Friendly service“

“Great experience!“

“Forget that other company's stake on the claim. Realfine is the best part of waking up.“

“Vision Espresso was great! Josh was super knowledgeable & made the experience easy for my home brew needs. Smaller show room but nice selection online. Talked with Josh on what I was looking for and we built a list together. Would recommend!“

“Very cool vibe with great snacks and my favorite pinball machine!“

“I love this place. It has great food and great employees and is a real benefit to the community. Thanks for all the great food and a great place to enjoy my coffee!“

“Yummy coffee and a cute spot! Definitely recommended“

“A great spot for a refreshing drink on your way to or from the Alki area. skip the corporate crud and support a small kiosk every chance you get!“

“Everything I’ve had from Brother Joe is delicious. The food, the coffee, all yummy! My favorite? The croissant BLAT with a fried egg added. It’s crunchy and warm and messy and juicy and is SO SO GOOD!! I think about and crave that sandwich all the time! Highly recommend!! ♥️“

“Wonderful frappe’s, especially peanut butter & chocolate! I wish we had a William Patrick's Coffee Inc in Minneapolis. I guess I’ll just have to come back to Gig Harbor again soon…“

“Bought a bag of Morning Sun whole beans. Package says it's a darker roast. Darker than what? Water? We tried it three mornings in a row. With no other whole beans in the house, I had to switch to instant coffee. Morning Sun is NOT a dark roast. Sorry to say I was very disappointed.“

“Always love my daily visits for morning coffee! see what I mean... 💥❤️💥“

“Amazing place, highly recommend it. The staff is always nice and friendly.
I normally get the Galaxy and it's delicious.
Especially if you need energy fast they are fast with making your drinks and the quality is amazing.“

“Came to visit town and it was so yummy! Got the ube ice cream and the ube cream puff. 10/10. Service was so kind and helpful!“

“Visited on a Sunday afternoon after a friend recommended this local spot in Burien.
We tried the bacon sandwich, $13 from the breakfast menu, and the Cuban melt $15 from the lunch menu.

While the café itself has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The bacon sandwich felt a bit too small for the price, and the Cuban melt could have been much better if they had added some Dijon mustard to balance the richness of the mayo—it would have brought out the true flavor of a Cuban sandwich.

Staff were kind, and the space has a neighborhood charm, so I’d be open to coming back to try their pastries or coffee.“

“Love this shop! Heather is amazing and the coffee is always just right!“

“Sitting in my car shaking and crying, barely able to compose myself to drive right now. Those who frequent Auntie Irene's beware of the owner. She just yelled at me infront of the whole shop, about parking out front. It sent me into a anxiety riddened, ptsd fueled state. There were zero parking stalls when l pulled into the coffee shop. l was grabbing my one coffee and leaving. l would be there for 5 minutes maybe 10 at most. I parked snuggled up along the the flower bed north of the shop, in front of the rhodedendron/north of the deck. On the other side of the flower bed is parking stalls. Just to exactly detail where l was parked. Completely out of anyone's way. There is no posted sign saying "no parking here", nor is it a painted fire lane. If that were the case, of course l wouldn't park there. That's obvious. I was not blocking her drive thru window line or blocking either entrance to her shop. I wasn't in the way of people needing to back out ,since they have to turn the other way to exit. After placing my coffee order, an waiting about 5 minutes at a table, she came out of no where and reprimanded me like a child....She could have politely introduced herself and asked me to move. She never even told me who she was. For all l knew, she was a crazed lady bossing me around. No "hi", "hello" or "how are you?". She just marched up to me without identifying shes the owner and started in on me. I would have had zero problem being asked to move, if she had gone about it in a decent manner, that most "adults" are capable of. Her tone was egregious and severely uncalled for. Over the years, l have heard rumors about an aggressive, petite, blonde haired, older lady named Susie as the owner. That was the only reason l deduced this must be the owner, becuase like l stated she did not tell me who she was at all. But, l had only ever seen her maybe 3 times, in all the years I've been going there. I have never spoken to her or even had an one on one encounter with her. So, for her to treat me, complete stranger, who is paying for a comfortable place to enjoy coffee like this, this is wildly uncalled for. I'm a full grown adult mind you, though lve been told, l look young for my age. Even if l was young, it still would not make this encounter okay at all. l was so taken a back, l couldn't even mutter a reply to her. l ran out of the shop and immediately reparked my car. There were stalls open at this point. l had to smoke a cigarette to calm down before l went back in, it rattled me so badly. l was barely able to muster up the courage to go back in for my coffee, without feeling like l was going to start breaking out into tears, if l saw her or had to encounter her again to get my coffee. I came back in, and by then she was no where to be seen... She wasn't there to thank me for moving and understanding her concern. Nothing, she just disappeared. She ambush disciplined me and disappeared, which made it even weirder and more upsetting...Anyways, when l came back in the staff asked me where l went? l didn't want to tell them what happened, so l pretended like l didn't hear their question and barely got out a stiffled, whimper of a "thank you" to them. Rushing out of the shop before they had a chance to see me upset.. I didn't want them to think they were the reason l was in this clearly emotional state. They didn't do anything wrong, so l wasn't about to complain to them about their own boss.There would be nothing they could do about her actions, if she's in charge, ya know? When l got back to my car, l broke down in tears, past PTSD trauma flooding in. I've had experiences like this with some past elder women bosses, in my younger years. I've been subject to 3 very unprofessional older female boss's. Who, in over the years had treated me completely horribly and were very verbally abusive. One even grabbed my arm so hard she left bruising. All of them traumatizing me, using their p“

“My favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Pete and Cameron are gems.“

“This isn’t a coffee shack, it’s a community. The coffee is great, the snacks are standard and yummy. But it’s the people that make this place special. The staff is - every one of them - wonderful people who are pleasant and engaging, and the locals that hang out here with their friends and dogs are kind and cool.

Today I had a lovely long conversation with Kaitlyn during a lull in customers. We chatted about community and service, and how important those ideas are to us. It’s not everyday I get to have a deep and meaningful conversation with someone two generations behind me, but that’s the kind of environment The Bean creates. Spend your money here, but also spend some time. This is a special place in our community.“

“This place is awesome. Easily in my top 5 places to get coffee in the Seattle area (and I've lived here 20 years). First and foremost, their staff. Always welcoming and they know how to make great coffee. Second, their coffee is top notch. I always look forward to my first cup there, then again think about when I can get another for my ride home. Perfect balance of all flavors, and more, that you'd expect from a great coffee shop.“

“I absolutely adore this place! Not sure how, but the staff always remembers my kiddos order when we walk in. Bagels are fresh, cream cheese is delicious and staff is always professional. My only complaint is that they insist on using fresh blueberries so there’s about a 4-6 week period of time each year they make blueberry bagels and you better get there early if you want some 🤣. On the bright side, I’m not eating a blueberry bagel every day which is probably for the best. Love you guys, thanks for bringing good bagels to Gig Harbor!“

“coffee is great and the pastries are ok. the lines get long here fast. lots of kids here as there is a little kiddie gym right by there. dogs ok outdoors. patio open behind the building in the summertime. they do have dog treats which we love“

“Great coffee. Great baristas. Great customers.“

“The best Americano ☕️ that I have ever had, every time!! 😋“

“I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I did not have high expectations. I got like an energy drink Italian soda type thing with some CBD added and while it was very sweet it was effective. My friends got coffees and they liked them. There were breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches etc. And they were totally good.“

“They have the most delicious crepes! I had the market crepe with bacon and spinach and cheese and onions and it was so good. My dining companion raced about his crepe as well. They are not the fastest, but it is a tiny place- arriving early is good. I can't wait to return for more crepes!

Update: food continues to be great, service is less so. The staff tries their best, but they are very slow with food. Like, an hour to get food.“
