Red Eye Expresso - Burien

The owner of this local restaurant is a neighbor who clearly doesn't care about the live band that performs multiple times a week in his shabby venue. Despite my attempts to discuss the issue and request some insulation for his space, he reacted aggressively, even threatening physical violence. I urge everyone to reconsider supporting this establishment until he understands the consequences of his actions, which have been ongoing for years. The music is awful, and yes, I'm the one who frequently calls Burien's finest to report this code violation, wasting their time in the process.

I stopped by this cafe on my way to Mt. Rainier, as I needed something for the drive. It was conveniently located and easy to visit. The coffee was good—nothing extraordinary, but a solid cup at a reasonable price.

I've just realized that most of my reviews here tend to focus on coffee shops and stands. I don't think it's fair to label any one of them as the best or my favorite until I've explored all the coffee options in Washington. As for prices? They're quite affordable compared to other coffee spots. There’s just the right amount of ice in the drinks, and they don’t have that overly sweet syrupy flavor. The barista was incredibly nice and friendly. As I often mention in my reviews, I absolutely love nice baristas—it really elevates my coffee experience! I enjoy a little friendly conversation while waiting for my drink. I don't visit Burien very often, but when I do, I’ll definitely make a point to stop by this coffee stand again.

I love this coffee stand! I've only been there twice but both times were a pleasant experience. My go to drink is a white mocha (hot or iced they make them perfectly. The girls are always super friendly too, which is a big plus. It's always nice to have friendly conversation when you treat yourself to a coffee. Tia is especially sweet, she gave my puppy 2 treats was super nice : All around great coffee stand in Burien, swing by if you have the chance!

I was debating on whether I should give this review 4 or 5 stars but clearly I decided on 5. It isn't anyone's fault this amazing coffee stand isn't on my way to work... or is it? This little coffee stand is a GEM. Too underrated for its amazing coffee. I used to work drink) at Starbucks and this place does not compare. The coffee here has a lovely unforgettable roasty flavor! I never knew what true coffee tastes like until I tried this place. The lines are never long. Prices are good. The girls are friendly and clothed no hate on bikini stands lol, I'm just trying to be helpful because I know a lot of people are against those). My usual is a 16oz white choc mocha and it is so perfect. I'm just sad this place isn't on my way to work otherwise I would be here all the time! Ugh, I wish. Take all my money!! It's that good.
