Ebony and Ivory Coffee - Federal Way

Such a beautiful place inside and out 😍 the Stairway to Heaven Coffee Flight was perfection. The Holiday Flight was very fun!
Definitely your place for a cute get-together, meetings, studying, work…
Our barista was very attentive and made my friend a surprise Italian Soda, offering to re-make it if it wasn’t to her liking! 🙌🏼 💯

One of the better ones. Love the location. Love the three buildings that are available. It’s modern and nice. Staff is friendly. Good coffee. Wish they were open until about 8pm, at least a few times a few. That’s about my only complaint/desire.

What a cute coffee shop. Three buildings all with beautiful seating. Decorations and architecture are gorgeous.

We got great service, it was very VERY busy and the barista was very honest about the wait. However it was still a wonderful spot. I will be coming back and enjoying all the different areas!

Found my new favorite coffee cafe. First of the Dirty Diana is AMAZING. And the scones are fantastic. This will now be a frequent stop for us. Especially for me on my way back from ART and LMP maintenance. :). The white coffee is always a welcome booster. Or get a taster with the Stairway To Heaven which gives you 4 beverages.

What a great space that is so NOT Starbucks. Food was as expected, they could up their food/presentation game and probably will as they get busier.
It was busy, but not crowded, yet only one barista who was trying to keep up and doing a great job. Eggnog latte was delicious.
Great environment. Can’t wait to see what else they do with the space and offerings. We will be back. Will be a really cool spot in the summer months.

Great place! So glad that they've opened this location in Federal Way. Salad was really good- sandwiches look great, cafe was clean, and baristas were friendly. I'll happily return 🙂

Stopped in today for the first time. SUPER cute place for a meet and greet or catch up with friends etc. The drinks were great, the atmosphere should get 10 stars! The customer service was severely lacking unfortunately. No greeting as I walked up to the counter, no "how are you" no smile. I initiated the conversation etc. It just seemed like they weren't thrilled to be there today, (everyone has bad days I guess). I was a barista for 16 years and was up at the crack of dawn with a smile on my face serving coffee, so I guess I expected a friendly welcome when visiting this stunning establishment. Overall I'd likely try again, hoping today was simply an off day for these ladies. I still tipped hoping to make their day better.

Cool story and nice owners. I came here twice. On Veterans day, I called the store at 7:00am right after the coffee shop opened to double check their hours. The employee who answered the phone said they were closing at 6pm. I asked her again and repeated 6pm?, and she said yes. So I invited my friend to meet me there to study.

Overall the vibe (of the coffee shop) and location is excellent. Close to 3pm, an employee came and politely told us that they were closing in few minutes. We started packing our stuff and the other employee who was standing behind the registers passive aggressively said ‘we close at 3’. Highlighted 3. I don’t think it was necessary, as I left the coffee shop 10 min prior closing the day before on (11/10). We are all adults and we have common sense. Customers should be considerate and leave the building few min prior the closing.

Then please let (whoever answered the phone on 11/11) that you close at 3pm, not 6pm on holidays. That was a misleading information in the first place.

I understand it was Friday and it’s the end of a long week. It’s a stretch, I get it. Just a little politeness and better customer service, that’s it.

Let's start by expressing my confusion about the location. It's tucked back in what seems like an industrial area, but once you pull up it feels inviting and serene with their open concept and full walled windows. Inside feels comfortable and 'loungey' like a coffee shop should. The girls behind the counter seem genuinely happy and excited to cater to anything your unaffiliated heart desires. Even though the food is pre-prepped they do a great job of making it taste and look hand crafted. The grilled chicken and pesto on sourdough and it was outstanding. The wife got the Olympic salad and it overflowed her plate! She was so excited. The main event was the flights of a mixture of coffee and fruit beverages for us to share. Great flavors and presentations. I highly recommend this coffee shop for a date or casual stop in to grab a coffee to go.... Which we ended up doing both today.

Awesome coffee shop. Great coffee, great pastries. Amazing place to come chill and work. I live in Federal Way and was looking for something like this. So happy I found this place! I will absolutely be coming back.
