D & M Coffee Drive Thru

A roomy coffee shop with very smooth coffee, a wide selection of drinks and bakery items. Their prices are decent and the staff are exceptionally friendly. This is the nicest coffee shop I've found in Ellensburg.

I come here because of the brand of syrups they have (torani) and the coffee they serve. I DO NOT GO FOR THE SERVICE. I was a barista for 4 years and I'm not one of those know-it-all ones. I don't like to be a difficult customer (because I experienced many), so often times my drink(s) are made inconsistently and I don't say anything. Sometimes I get an Americano with no water-I like extra cream. I rudely got informed that the drink I asked for (Americano iced w/no water) was not an Americano and it would cost more. I patiently responded she could pack it with ice, I just do not like water. I also got two shots, instead of one which drinks normally come with, so that water would not be a huge issue.

Here's my problem with that--as an ex-barista to another-when customers are specific with their orders-you repeat it back as they said to you. For example- I said black and white Americano, extra flavor, and an INCH AND A HALF OF CREAM. When you repeated it back you said "so... extra flavor and extra cream?" NO. I said an inch and a half. What is "extra cream" to you and other baristas varies. So I was specific with that for a reason. Secondly as a customer to an employee- while I was annoying in forgetting to ask for no water at first and proceeded to ask you after the fact to correct it (EVEN ASKED POLITELY and APOLOGIZED for being picky) you NEVERRRRRR try and correct the customer!!!! Your poor service even one time costs the business more then you just politely saying no problem and remaking it.

I hope for those reading my review you do not get the wrong idea that I am a difficult customer...many times I've come here for a product I know is great and gotten mediocre because of inconsistency and poor service AND NOT SAID ANYTHING!!! I do not discourage customers from going-the coffee is good (when made correctly).

I do HIGHLY encourage the business to get the employees on the same page & to teach them the values of good customer service. Coming from that industry--I understand how tedious people are about coffee and how some people try and cut corners with prices...however, these are your customers who come daily for coffee. When they get what they want--they write you good reviews, recommend you to their friends and most importantly come back for more. Employees should know this too.
I'm not sure I'll be back..there are other places in town that offer far better service and give me what I'm asking for.

Personable staff, hot drinks may be significantly short, but they are good. Tried the potato, spinach & pepper frittata... think it could be good but mine was luke warm and really watery in the bottom of the container.

Locally roasted beans combined with a small town café feel is a good combination. D&M had great coffee along with a big variety of food and drink options. Seems like a café you can just sit down, sip your cappacino, and get down to work on your laptop.

My absolute favorite coffee shop whenever I'm in Ellensburg WA, and breakfast choices are excellent. I highly recommend the breakfast quiche, the parmigiano crusted with pesto cruffin, and the breakfast calzone.
Their coffee selections alone are amazing. Personally a big fan of their espresso blend they call Hi octane. As for drip the lions rock and kenya roast are my two personal favorites. If your in ellensburg check this place out.

My wife loves their coffee!! We don't even live in Ellensburg anymore, but we still make a point to stop there whenever we are close.

Wife & I moved to the area in January. I've tried almost every coffee stand in town....and D&M hands down has the best coffee in The Burg.

Good wifi. Good coffee and croissant.

Fantastic service I love it ! The coffee and food is yummy . I love starting off my morning with a ice white chocolate mocha at d&m coffee!

Fast, friendly service and high quality crafted coffees always make for a great experience here. D&M is the only place in town I'll go to get my coffee!
