Mocha Mojo

This place is hit or miss. Today was a miss. All of the baristas are really sweet but one of them simply doesn’t know how to make good coffee. Unfortunately, I don’t know who I’m going to get until I’m at the window and I’m not going to drive off when I see her so I wind up paying (and tipping) for a coffee that I know I’m going to throw away. It’s like playing coffee roulette. Every time she makes it, it is so hot that I won’t be able to drink it for a good 30 minutes and it taste like spoiled milk by the time its cool enough. Not to mention she somehow makes the espresso taste super bitter even though it doesn’t taste that way when the other ladies make it. I always try to make myself drink it so I haven’t wasted the money but it always winds up in the trash after a few sips and I wind up making a second coffee stop. I’ll keep going back because I love the way the other ladies make it… but maybe I’ll pay a visit to the auto parts store next door first to see if I can peek over to the window. ;)

Espresso drive thru — easy peasy when I’m on my way out of West Seattle and need a quick coffee without having to get out of my car. Which, let’s face it, when you’re in a hurry and you have your kid (s) in tow, you would rather not have to stop, park, and go in/​out of a coffee shop. The coffee drinks here are tasty. They have light snacks as well, if you’re feeling peckish. The service is friendly and fast. Definitely good for a quick caffeine fix when you’re short on time.
Note that cars can (& do!) pull up to windows on BOTH sides of the shop.
