High Flying Espresso

The baristas here are always super nice. They always know my fiancé and my drinks. Very convenient.

The barista’s are always really nice and they know my drink order by heart. Conveniently located if you’re near Boeing and you get a better deal than Starbucks.

Nice girls. Yummy quick coffee. Their iced Carmel macchiatos are better then Starbucks :)

While I’m not the type to post negative reviews about a business, I just couldn’t resist letting people know about the experience I had this morning and about a month ago at this stand. I went in a month ago, and was greeted with nothing, just a mean stare from the morning girl who I believe is the owner. I ordered an all iced Americano with choc, packed with ice and cream on top. She very rudely said, so you want an iced breve mocha… I said no I want what I ordered. She said there wasn’t such a thing, that my drink needed to be made with water. A REAL barista knows exactly what i’m talking about. Charged me over $ 5 which is whatever, but glared at me the whole time. First time in 12 yrs. I didn’t tip. Went in this morning with the hope it was someone else working. Was greeted with an extremely rude glare, no words, ordered my drink again and she said so your drink will only be half full because an Americano is water not cream. OMG. gave me the drink half full, I gave it back and said please add an extra shot and some cream, I don’t want a half empty $ 5 drink, she gave it to me after explaining that she’s been a barista for 19 years. LADY if you’ve been that bad of a barista for 19 years, I can see why your still at a dead stand with no customers and a permanent glare on your face. CUSTOMER SERVICE. Make what the customer orders with a freaking smile on your face, and you’ll get a repeat customer and a freaking tip. 19 years and you are worse than my first week as a barista. Telemarketing or maybe an office job where you don’t see anyone might be a better business option for you.

The coffee has been okay, decent prices for the area. The biggest draw was the proximity to where I work. I was becoming a morning regular, enough that my drink was remembered and I didn’t have many complaints with my orders. However, when I went to claim my first free drink on my punch card, I was told I couldn’t order anything above $ 3. I thought this was an odd stipulation, but it didn’t hinder me from coming back.
As the second half of my stamp card was punched, I was excited and woke up early, happy (on a Monday, of all days!) about enjoying a free coffee. However, this was quickly abated when the barista (who is also the owner) told me they do not usually redeem free drinks for 32 oz sizes, which is the size I ALWAYS order. I’ve never encountered this at any other coffee stand. A free drink is a free drink. She made me feel very uncomfortable, saying it was «Okay this time» because I was ordering an americano, «which is mostly water.» I was shocked. This made me feel so awkward that I actually offered to pay for my drink.
While I prefer americanos, I have also purchased blended drinks and red bull italian sodas for coworkers. I’m not the type of person to order the least expensive thing on the menu, and expect the most expensive thing for free. I just expect to be treated fairly. Needless to say, I will make a point to find a new coffee stand and convert my coworkers to a new locale.

Not great coffee but not horrible. The barista was friendly.

If you’re looking for a quick coffee next Boeing, here’s a spot to check out.
I tried their special of the day, a vanilla Milky Way. I got it iced, since it was going to be a hot day, but I will try it hot next time, as I tend to down iced drinks way too fast.
Barista was friendly and the coffee was tasty. You also get a card so when you make multiple trips, they add up to a free coffee. They also have fruit smoothies, if coffee isn’t your thing.

We used to go in from time to time since it was decent and reasonably priced. It had been awhile since we had dropped by and this last time the coffee was awful. The espresso tasted burned in one and the other tasted like watery milk with coffee flavoring added. It wasn’t that amazing before but now, eh, no thanks

Good white mochas. They are very quick making an order. Not very nice, you can tell they are here just for the money.
