Rocket Coffee

Always had a great experience with the staff here. I always love their coffee, it’s one of my favorites in town. I absolutely recommend trying the house made veggie cream cheese with one of the toasty bagels– totally to die for! I also love that you can call ahead and they’ll have your order ready for you.

Worst lattes in Redmond. But great breakfast sandwiches.
The reason for the low review is well… I go places for the coffee. A lot of people who are starting their day and headed to work, might do the same.
So let me tell you why this is the worst coffee in Redmond, let you go in and decide for yourself.
1. Staff never seems friendly. This doesn’t make it bad coffee… I’ve been to coffee houses where the Baristas are very curt, but where they carry one heir conversation and not really ask what you want… Again, I came here several times. Each time, I felt like I was headed into a dive bar with chippy barmaids.
2. Consistency is key! Unless it’s consistently crappy. I don’t know who’s beans they use, but it’s the most acidic tasting mess, I’ve ever tasted. It has this burned flavor that just sits on your tongue for hours.
3. Grounds in my cup. The first few times I noticed that there were a crap ton of grounds in my cup. I had choked while at work, had to leave my station, because I couldn’t breathe! It’s been that way with every cup. So I quit drinking there. It’s called a towel, wipe off the drip.
4. This is where listening comes in, So I say my order, if you can’t remember, just write it down! It’s called a note pad and pen, invest. I can’t have regular milk, it makes me sick, and yeah… I’ve gotten sick off of wrong milk.
Conclusion: be nice, change the beans, wipe down the machines and listen. You’ll get good tips before you know it!

Great lunch spot in Redmond. Their lemon spritzers are really refreshing! And the wraps are delicious!
