I enjoy my coffee a certain way: strong, creamy, and balanced in sweetness. This particular location makes it so much easier to come back to. I don't go to any other coffee shop or drive thru because the flavor here is always consistent. I'm not much of a tea person, but coming here has also made that beverage enjoyable to drink, too. I enjoy talking to all of the baristas there, and how friendly they are. The lines do occasionally get long at times, but I sit through it and grin because their kindness and great coffee making make it worth the while (which is probably why there is a long line). I did accidentally honk once when I leaned on my wheel, but that only led to a funny conversation with the baristas that were there. As long as I live within this area (I'd probably swing by every so often if I didn't), this location of Café Elite, in fact, this coffee shop itself, is the only place I will go to. The only thing I have to share that they need to change is... y'all gotta update your menu at the drive-thru 🤣🤣. Other than that, SUPREME 🤌🏾🤌🏾
Celeste made me the best Peanut butter Jelly Espresso shake I have ever had, she asked all the right questions. All of the team at the Federal Way location are great and friendly people. Willing to experiment with me when I want to try something new.
Stopped here after visiting the Federal Way Farmers Market and got an Raspberry Italian Cream Soda with energy drink and an iced vanilla oat milk chai. The gals working were super friendly, the drive through was easy to navigate in my compact SUV, the space was clean, and the drinks were delicious on our walk along Redondo Beach. Definitely will be back and they have a rewards program!
to be honest i wish i could give a higher rating than 5 stars, this has been my go to location ever since my first visit. the girls here are amazing and ALWAYS make the best drinks. so friendly and superr consistent, i love all the girls but Priscilla and Anedis are my girlsss. they always go above and beyond and give the best recommendations on days i wanna try something new! they start my day off right every time i stop by thank youuuu!!! <3 p.s. Priscilla put me on with the pepperoni bagel months ago and now i cannot live without it!!
Friendly and quick. Their mocha's are really good. Got a 🥭 smoothie with protein😋 …
Love LOVE this coffee stand! Was just thinking this morning how I wish coffee stands started eggnog lattes the same time as pumpkin, and sure enough I drove by today and they had their sign out! THANK YOU for getting it out this early in the season! Sincerely, the one woman who's not a pumpkin spice fan!❤️
love this place , everything is delicious. the staff has customer service perfected. the ladies in the morning make me delicious coffee everytime ! I give them a idea of what I want and they create me perfect yummy coffee plus they are sweet and friendly , you feel comfortable instantly. I've been in customer service over 45 years and these ladies are superb. most likely not getting paid enough , give them a raise!!!!!
Amazing coffee. I stopped here while I was waiting for the results of my roommates COVID-19 test next door. The girl who made the coffee was super friendly and the coffee was excellent. I will be stopping here next time I am in the area. Coffee 5/5 Service 5/5 Speed 5/5
Have been getting drinks here for the last year and the staff is really friendly. Recently the drinks have become more ice than drink though. I transferred a 32 oz into a 16 oz cup at home comfortably. Friendly staff but if I am paying for $9 for a beverage, I expect to get a little closer to the advertised amount. Edit - This has been addressed after a few more recent visits I’ve been very happy with what I’ve received.
I was in the area for a medical appointment and this place had exactly what I needed after fasting for over 12 hours. Super nice barista, huge flavor options, and great coffee (I like to think that I have an idea since I used to work at several different coffee shops when I was a teenager). I usually just drink coffee at home but I wouldn't mind stopping by here again. Highly recommend!
