So, as I sit in a parking lot sipping my very creamy, brewed to perfection breve latte, (expertly produced by Allie), I am compelled to review this coffee shop. I couldnt wait for this location to open up a few weeks ago because its closer to my house than the other Elites. Once I tried it, I couldnt believe I found my new coffee stand!! Now, the coffee may be the same as the other stands but not all shots are created equal and only this one has Allie, the blonde morning girl!! And, all her staff, who are being trained by her. Heres my list of the reasons I am calling this my home coffee shop: 1) My lattes are perfectly consistent EVERY time, deliciously creamy. 2) Staff is courteous and friendly. 3) I like to gab with my baristas and, knowing from experience, it can be annoying when you are trying to make someones drink correctly, I never once felt that from this staff, and Allie in particular, has never missed a beat with my drinks, even while engaging with me in convo. 4) Coffee is life!! Thats all. If they didnt "have it" here, I wouldnt return, every day! I believe in giving people a chance to get it right. If they dont make your drink EXACTLY how you like it the first time, theyre not mind readers and magicians, they need a chance to prove that they can and will. This stand has the expertise and commitment to make that happen. I get it, us customers can be finicky and temperamental, especially where our coffee is at stake!! So its clear, my experience comes from owning coffee shops on the east coast. I just moved to WA last year. I never knew anyone at this stand before I started coming, still dont really, just that I believe in giving credit to hard working people who go above and beyond to give good customer service. Remembering a customers name, what they like before they ask, because you made it your business to make a mental note on purpose, says everything to a customer. Thats what I get here, at cafe elite plu!! Thank you, Allie and all your staff!!

The staff is extremely friendly especially the manager Allie. Shes an absolute treat to conversate with while waiting for your drinks. I always get the same blow pop mimosa and pink passion mimosa mainly with grapefruit. They always come out perfect. I love how close they are to my work. Thank you for opening!!

The owner was rude to us for no reason on our recent visit. She didnt listen to my order and interupted me when I was talking. Charged me more than I asked for. Wrong size drink and wrong flavors. Threatened us to not come back to that location even though we gave them no trouble
