Seattle’s Best Coffee

I love having a Seattle’s Best drive thru with their delicious pies.
Everything is just like a SB store, nothing too special but since its close to where I live and on my way to work, so I give it a 5 stars instead of 4!!!

I’m usually not a drip drinker (I prefer espresso) but Seattle’s Best original drip is really the best drip coffee! Very smooth and easy going. I love coming to this drive-​thru on my way to work. I’m always greeted by a super friendly barista and fast service. I do like the breakfast sandwiches when I’m desperate for breakfast. They are not too big, just the right size. Definitely try the original drip! (and skip the flavored creamers)

If you’re heading North on 4^th Avenue and in need of some coffee, this place will get you in and out quickly. I went here out of convenience, but left with a better sense of respect for Seattle’s Best Coffee. I had a dark roast drip coffee and it was pretty good, much better than I remember SBC tasting. Service was very friendly and the pastries are pretty tasty as well.

I love coffee! Nothing better than a friendly barista (Amanda) excited about the new opening of their location. I always order the hazelnut latte at new locations and Seattle’s Best definitely got it right! Amanda took my order, ran my credit card, and behind her came another barista dropping off my coffee. I swear it was the quickest coffee order i’ve ever had!
The latte is much tastier than what I remember Seattle’s Best tasting like. I will definitely stop by this place when I am in the area. I think it’s the only Drive Thru coffee place on 4^th Ave in the Industrial district.

The staff is incredible and the drinks are delicious — I love their spicy mac & cheese pie too. Definitely worth a stop if it’s on your way!

It’s your traditional SB coffee. Nothing too special. I have however been dying to try the special flavors such as the b-​day cake. I have held back for fear of the waistline expansion from a latte. I would much rather eat my calories than drink them (unless it is an adult beverage) then it’s calories away… My latte was piping hot, flavorful and had the prefect amount of foam atop.
I was wavering back and forth from 3 stars to 4 stars for my review. Strictly because the team there is super friendly. Too friendly for an early am without having a caffeine fix. So in essence of not being a grumpy «don’t talk to me until I have my coffee» biotch I decided to go with 4 stars.
Plus they have a customer stamp card and double stamp Tuesday to get your free drink that much quicker. You can’t beat that!

SBC had passed out free medium drink coupons in the Valpak (you guys should really not toss out those envelopes) so I came here with a friend to redeem the drink coupons. I had the birthday cake latte iced and let me tell you, if you like birthday cake flavored desserts, this one does not disappoint! It is espresso with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, vanilla syrup, and vanilla shavings. The drink is literally liquid dessert and I am so craving one right now.
My friend and I just walked up to the walk-​up window. It is kind of weird because the walk-​up window is facing the busy Lander street behind you but no big deal. This store was meant for drive-​thru mostly! I asked the barista if a lot of people do walk ups like us, and she said that a surprisingly amount of people do walk up to this store!

The first time I went I ordered an iced coffee with a bunch of modifiers. I perfer their iced coffee over Starbucks. Less acidic and doesn’t upset my stomach like Starbucks. Also prices are very affordable. I get to the window and was greeted with a friendly smile then told that the coffee was free. Yay! Apparently they were handing out free coffee to everyone that day. I also stopped by with a friend just recently and we had a few questions about some of their drinks and the lady was very helpful with answering. We did order warming items which take awhile in the oven but instead of ignoring us while we wait the girl was friendly and chatty. My friend and I were so impressed how she made our experience in the drive-​thru memorable. We must have stayed parked in the drive-​thru for a good 10 minutes talking to the barista like we were old friends. Didn’t catch the barista’s name but Dawn is also super friendly whenever I stop by. Thanks for the friendly service everytime.

I swung by for a fix some days ago. It’s a nice, clean location for a drive-​thru. I think I had some pretzel parmesan thingie. It was ok. My drink was something like a hazelnut cream soy latte? I pulled right up to the window with no line and I have a sneaky feeling these aren’t «baristas». That was WAY too fast! If it was dispensed, meh. There’s nothing the same like getting your coffee pulled fresh, inside or in a DT. The staff was alright. There’s no tip jar and no tip line with cards. Bring cash if you want to tip.
Some room for improvement.

I work right across 4^th AVE from this location, and this week has been awesome since all their drip coffee is free (thru saturday 12÷15÷12)!
Coffee is OK, kind of like Dunkin Donuts quality. But for $ 1.99 for a large drip coffee with flavored creamer, who’s complaining? Haven’t tried their food, but I will edit this when I do.
For now, this place is great. I especially enjoy jay-​walking across 5 lanes of SODO traffic to get there.
Edit:
Had the food. Breakfast samich with ham. It is essentially a Starbucks Breakfast sandwich, so take that how you will. I like it though.
Also, I’m lowering my rating because I saw how latte’s are made. Everything comes out of a machine. They don’t pull their shots. Didn’t know, but I’ll still go there.

I may be a bit biased because I work for Seattle’s Best, but definitely check this store out! It features a brand new menu with really delicious items such as handheld pies (easy to eat on the go — my favorite is the spicy mac & cheese, or the pecan for dessert). The drinks featured in the favorites section are also delicious — the iced Carmel Candy latte is my favorite, but I typically default to a small brewed coffee with Vanilla creamer for my everyday order.
