Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused café on the Evergreen State College campus serves traditional drinks and pour-overs in a laptop-friendly setting, but the 3/5 rating reflects real operational problems that keep it from being reliably good. Reviews consistently mention inconsistent service, issues with staff helpfulness, and frustrating experiences that suggest the shop struggles with basic hospitality—this isn't a case of divisive taste, but rather a place where things often don't go smoothly. It's a functional spot if you're on campus and need coffee, but there's no compelling reason to seek it out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Laptop-friendly spot.

My daughter transfered here and it has been nothing but a nightmare 1.5 years so far. They will not help with filling out financial forms. They will not let her use her scholarships even when the organization is willing to send them money. You will likely get taken advantage of,…
In my opinion this school is better for non-traditional students who already know what they want but now more than ever traditional students ( starting right after high school) are very hungry for a sure thing and a path. At Evergreen you make your own path and if that sounds…
Disabled visitor ticketed after 25 minutes – pure extortion I’m disabled, have valid state handicap plates/placard, and parked in a marked accessible spot to support a student small-business event I was invited to. I was there less than 30 minutes. Came back to a $25 ticket.…
