R & R Espresso Express

On the «outskirts» of Country Village is the closest espresso stand to Canyon Park, and therefore, to me.
I used to be much more of a regular here… a multitude of things led me away, but I’ve started venturing back on a rare basis. I.e. in my pj’s and not willing to drive an extra quarter mile for coffee.
The drinks are not consistent exactly. The barista working has a BIG effect on if your drink will be prepared properly. I’ve never received the wrong drink, but I get a lot of «holy scald batman“s and a few super acidic as well. Personal opinion: avoid the teenagers (grand daughters of the owner and her friends)
Between my regular times back in the day and now, the prices have also gone up. making them the priciest drive through stand of the «core» stands near me that are not Starbuck’s. Not as pricey as Starbuck’s mind you, but not worth the cost compared to Bigfoot, Espresso Connections, Café Ladro, etc all nearby.
Don’t go when there is a line, the majority of the barista’s are not quick.
But, you can get treats, a free Everett Herald every morning, and the ladies who run it are all super sweet and will get to know all the regulars really well.
