Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie

Well. The location is convenient, you will not have any of the trouble finding this place or parking. The store has quite a large selection of loose leaf teas, novelty items, health foods, and many other items which I did not fully explore. It is quite possible that they have some products that are worth purchasing, but... truthfully... I ABSOLUTELY DISCOURAGE ENDORSING THIS ESTABLISHMENT. Allow me to explain.

The purpose for my visit to this coffee roaster was to purchase a short soy latte. I was looking forward to trying an espresso drink to see if I wanted to purchase some beans so I could take some home. Seems simple right? I drink coffee... I have gone through this simple procedure hundreds of times flawlessly. I ordered two identical drinks. Two 8oz Soy Lattes. After starting the extraction of the coffee, the woman emptied a box of soy milk into the steaming pitcher, here comes the deal breaker... She actually had the audacity to fill the remainder of the pitcher with whole milk. I thought to myself, REALLY!?!? Who does that!?!? She tried to move stealthily and confidently so as not to draw attention to her dishonesty. I didn't not say anything, I know, it is my own fault that I drank the coffee which was not what I ordered. I was too stunned by the fact that she thought she could get away with that. Next to the coffee menu they have a separate sign advertising their abundance of milk options, but she decided for me that I wanted whole milk mixed in with my soy milk. WHOLE MILK?!? REALLY!?!? I just hope this woman recognizes that dishonesty and laziness are never good policy.

The coffee was average at best. Foam mediocre. In conclusion:
DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THIS ROASTER, YOU WILL ONLY GET BURNED.

I didn't have the coffee but had some awesome Earl Grey tea. That wasn't the best part about my visit. I brought my camera for our Vashon visit and we stopped in for some caffeine. I was walking around snapping the cool antiques and was approached by a staff member. I was worried he was going to chastise me for my photography. Instead, he gave me a tour of the shop and told me the story of it's inception.

A shrine to the old company before it was sold off to Starbucks. It now runs under a different name, but still the best coffee that you could ever drink. Staff is very knowledgeable about the coffee craft.

Cute, rustic decor. Excellent coffee and light eats.

Still some of my favorite espresso anywhere. The shop has some history and great things to look at. Looking forward to be able to linger there longer, again!

Just a wonderful place! No matter where you come from, you feel like family when you walk in the door. Their coffee and teas are the best, and the online service is outstanding. Totally 5 stars..

This is the original Seattle's Best Coffee Roasterie. Starbucks bought the name and moved off island. They still roast coffee and make vegan and vegetarian snacks. Lots of teas and coffees, really good ice cream, great wood floors, music by local old men on Saturday mornings, and organic groceries upstairs at Minglement. You can sit outside on the front porch and wait for traffic. Nice view of the Tabernacle to Vanity ( the vashon opera house) and Sinners Cedar lumber yard. It is like stepping back to the turn of last century in a lot of ways. The helpers really help AND FEELS REALLY GOOD INSIDE OR OUT.

This place is wonderful. They have a great selection of nondairy products so their delicious lattes and specialty coffees are available to everyone.
Everyone was so kind and the atmosphere is welcoming. I will be going again while I am here.

As usual, stocked up on my coffee and teas. Had a little snafu trying to take it all home to Atlanta in my carry on but TSA let me pass. Apparently +3.5oz of coffee beans is not acceptable for carry on? And also bulk teas over 3.4oz... at least not at SeaTac Airport. Love their coffee flavors!

Great coffee and cute space but felt unwelcomed. We wanted to support places with dollars during COVID but felt like we were a nuisance. Wore masks and gave space. Kinda bummed...
