Kafiex Roasters - Coffee Lab

This is a beautiful retreat with a consistent pleasant vibe.
They roast the beans on site. Each drink is carefully made with thought and extra effort.
I appreciate the sincere and friendly attitude of the owners.
This is a great spot on any day, with great treats as well, even for the dog!

As perfect espresso as you or I will ever find in our lifetimes.

Amazing doesn’t begin to cover it!

I don’t regularly drink coffee from coffee houses. I am exceptionally picky and have found time and time again that I can make a better espresso at home than I can get at any given coffee shop. I roast my own carefully selected beans, I weigh and time every shot exclusively through a naked portafilter, and I make truly excellent and relatively consistent coffee. I have never found any coffee shop that puts the time and effort into their coffee like I do mine; that is until Kafiex, they put more time, more effort, and very importantly more skill than I have, or have ever witnessed at any shop anywhere into their coffee. All of that might not matter except that that knowledge, that work, that art comes through in the results.
The best coffee anywhere can be found right in Vancouver, WA at Kafiex Roasters. The results speak for themselves and they are astounding.

Holy Cow.....just bought 12oz. pack of coffee....but reading reviews, while sitting outside here........wow..hey owner your aggressive angry tone responding to reviewers is a very bad decision. The coffee is okay...nothing to write home about. But....in the future, if I want to pay $18 for 12 oz. of phenomenal beans, I'll stop buy Coava! During the PANDEMIC.....Means taking the high road and not biting a reviewer's head off when responding to an honest review. It's the price of doing business. And remember, there are hundreds of coffee shops. My first and last visit!

The ladies there where verry friendly, and seemed to know their coffee, however the coffee was pretty bad. My wife couldn't finish her Americano, and my pour over was bitter and ashy. Also I ordered a "big coffee", and it was 10-12oz. I know that's the perfect size for a pour over, but when buying coffee almost anywhere else, 12 oz is the small size.

Wow! This place is amazing! There’s floor to ceiling windows that overlook Ester short park, they have a one of a kind beautiful hand painted mural behind the bar, the energy of this place feels fresh and alive with cute live plants throughout and not to mention the coffee is handcrafted and delicious! The owners Saydie and Matthew know their stuff and are passionate about their craft. Not to be missed by coffee lovers and the like!

Had the funnest time here. The staff were very very friendly and explained all the different way the make coffee and how it would taste and all that. Genuinely friendly people. The way they served the coffee was also really cute and interesting. Definitely worth going to!

Unbelievable behavior from this business owner. He does need to be held accountable for his behavior and verbally abusing young girl employees. It’s also unacceptable for him to withhold their paycheck for their hard earned money by blackmailing them to sign papers under mental duress and stress which state they’re being fired after they put their week notice already. This business owner is abusing his employees.

Very cool spot across from the waterfront. The drinks and food were outstanding!

I want to give them a full 5 stars but we came here to get work done and found out after we ordered and sat down that there isn’t any WiFi.

The staff were friendly and the environment was very chill.

This place is a total scam! Only offers a 12 oz coffee for almost 4 bucks for an americano. Talk about a scam. The girl making the coffee was fine but hardly put any cream in my americano. I had to go back. In short overpriced mediocre coffee and pretentious service. Definitely won't be back.

Unfriendly and unhelpful baristas. I was with 5 people and they didn’t great anyone. Just looked at us, we ordered, and that was it with out a word or a smile or an expression. Coffee was overly strong. Strange scientific coffee devises but they didn’t explain their coffee service with the devices. Won’t be back with my friends. 2 great non Starbucks cafes around the corner with fantastic coffee, service and welcoming with a smile.
