Cedar River Espresso

No frills coffee stand. Barista was very friendly, and there is also a drive thru for convenience. We got an iced Americano, and the taste was very bitter (the taste that occurs when the beans may not be fresh). Taste of the coffee is the reason for leaving a 3/5.

Used a free drink, come here often. The barista today burnt both of the drinks that were ordered. They are so rough and just taste charred. We got a caramel macchiato and en egg nog latte. Both are so scorched we will not be able to consume them.

Really good staff. All I wanted was regular coffee, and it was provided with a smile.

great local coffee spot. make sure you ask by oz. i asked for large expecting 20oz but got a 30oz. not complaining just wasn't expecting such a big cup of joe.

Astounding customer service is EVERYTHING
I've only been stopping here on my morning commute for a couple of months, a couple of times a week, but EVERY barista I've encountered has been friendly, cheerful, chatty, and polite. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. They are speedy, conveniently located, easy to get in and out of, and even with 4-5 cars ahead of me, I've never waited in line more than 5-6 minutes. Coffee is great, and the few food/bakery items I've tried have been yummy. Great place, you should try it.

I like their offerings, but one of the baristas routinely keeps the change even though it has not been offered to her. She says, “Have a good day!” and if you want your change you have to ask for it. It may only be 40 cents, but I feel scammed and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, which spoils the treat I just purchased.

Update: LOVE THEM STILL - They remembered my order just off half my face today
Baristas are knowledgeable, pleasant, and efficient. They have wonderful suggestions when I don't know what to order and genuinely seem kind. Most importantly, I've had consistently well made and great tasting drink every time I've been here. They're by far my local favorite. I do wish they had a loyalty program though!

Good stuff... never burnt coffee

This place is great, me and my roommate come to this coffee stand almost every day. The girls are friendly and quick with their service, they always have a smile on and are usually in good moods.

The only negative thing I would have to say about this place would be that we are most of the time told that we haven't gotten 10 drinks to get one free, so we barely ever get the free drink. Whatever system they have to keep track of how many drinks you've gotten is a horrible system. Now basically it only shows you bought a drink if you pay with your debit or credit card, because you put your phone # in after you pay with the card and it links it to your account. So basically all the drinks we buy with cash aren't getting linked to our accounts? Would def like to see an improvement on that part.

Other then that these girls are awesome!

Out of 36 coffee shops we tried all over Washington and half of Oregon, this was our fave. Alissa is fantastic! Always a smiling face and she makes the greatest concoctions. Absolutely check out CRE and pick up some swag while you are there.
