5 star baked goods 1 star coffee.The baked goods are super tasty, had an amazing lemon cruffin and a super tasty berry oat bar.To drink I had a Cafe Stefano, it was a major disappointment. It tasted like warmed up milk, could taste no flavor at all and no coffee. It sounds like they have a lot of inconsistencies depending on who is making the drink. Hopefully they can do a better job training their employees in the future. It sounds like it could be a tasty drink if they added any of the flavors to it.
Best coffee shop in Redmond! The staff is so friendly - they really seem to love their jobs. The coffee is great! The pastries and desserts are wonderful! You have to try the peanut butter cookie! The atmosphere will make you want to spend the afternoon! There is also outdoor seating. Make sure to stop in and also try the Artisan Toast, Herb Roasted Turkey, Pesto Cream Cheese & Heirloom Tomatoes!! THE BEST!
One of the finest places to have coffee in Redmond! Really like their coffee beans! Great service and quality. Quick to get the drink.
This is one of my favorite coffee places around Redmond. I come here more often than I probably should since it's nearby - my favorite drinks here are the Milk, Honey Cinnamon latte (it's best iced, not as great hot), and the Cafe Steffano (this one is better hot than iced).Despite this being one of my favorite coffee places, I took off a star mostly because the coffee is a little inconsistent. When certain baristas make my drink, it's one of the best lattes I've ever had, but with others it tends to be pretty mediocre -- I've had Steffano lattes which taste like they forgot all the syrups, and ones where they added way too much orange. I have good experiences much more than bad, which is why I still go to Five Stones.I also have found that Five Stones takes a bit longer than other coffee places in the area. I don't really mind since I know ahead of time that I'll be waiting 10-15 minutes for my drink, but it is something to be aware of. A majority of the time I get a drink here, I wait that long and am told "thanks for waiting" as if it wasn't a common occurrence.
As a coffee enthusiast, absolutely love the coffee and atmosphere! Great team and friendly!
I'm new to Redmond and Seattle area in general. This one is the best coffee shop I've found so far. I love the coffee here. The latte and the chai is great here.
Overly inflated charge for just coffee. I went to the Bellevue location today and ordered a 12 oz. drip coffee with room. They added a very small amount of half and half to my coffee. I looked at my receipt after arriving home and saw that they charged me and extra .50 for the half and half and called it Breve. This is ridiculous and a rip off. Every other coffee shop I have gone to, never charges extra when you order a drip with room. I called and complained, but the guy said this is the charge for alternative milk. What BS and a rip off adding such a small amount to my coffee. I could understand if the extra charge was for a latte or cappuccino because of the quantity that would have been added. I will never patron this establishment again. Poor customer service and taking advantage by overcharging and caring more about their bottom line than customers.
The latte here is really good. Also the spicy chai is a must try as well. They have a great ambiance and have both indoor and outdoor seating available
My wife and I try to find good alternatives to Starbucks (we do like them). Our recent go to place is 5 Stones in Bellevue, WA. The coffee is excellent, the staff knowledgeable and friendly.
Really liked this coffee shop. Need to order online and pick up is pretty fast. I got mocha bacio and cardamom honey latte and both were pretty good. The mocha was on the sweeter side and would highly recommend it if you are a mocha coffee lover.
