Happy Alley Coffee & More
23845 Pacific Hwy S, Federal Way, WA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in an unassuming Federal Way gas station location, Happy Alley punches way above its weight with baristas who genuinely care about crafting drinks beyond the basics—think creative blended concoctions like Macadamia Twist and Cotton Mouth alongside solid espresso work. The team's warm, personable service and willingness to improvise custom drinks for regulars has earned them a fiercely loyal following, making it clear this is the kind of spot worth seeking out if you're craving something more than your standard coffee run.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Drive-thru.

Took roughly 7 minutes to get 2 Smooth Phin. After trying them out one wasn’t sweet so we had to go back and ask to get it remade which took another 5ish minutes. In the photo you can see that the amount of coffee differs between the 2 and it showed up in the taste as well. Milk…
Excellent Espresso stop! I stopped in for a decaf blended raspberry mocha with whipped cream, and Taylor, the barista did a fantastic job on it! I had asked how Shannon, the owner had been doing, and was told that she sold the business last October, and that it was under new…
