Crema's Take
“Hemlock Grove pulls off something rare: a genuinely welcoming neighborhood spot that stocks drinks from other local makers alongside solid espresso drinks and a notably good iced vanilla chai that keeps people coming back. The vibe is unhurried and genuinely friendly, though service can drag during busy times, and one regular mentioned inconsistent experiences on return visits—so quality depends partly on when you show up. If you're looking for a low-pressure local hangout with good pastries and creative drinks rather than precision espresso, it's worth trying, but don't expect flawless execution every visit.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Steps from the kitsap transit area Coffee was fresh, delicious and hot. My wife loved her latte and she's a dutch bros girlie. I think she found her new favorite place!!! Definitely be back. I being a kitsap transit worker really appreciate her and her business.
