The baristas are super friendly. They are always super sweet and offer treats to my dog when he comes with me. Love their (reduced sweetness) caramel macchiato and their latte.

The best spicy chai I've ever had, super friendly baristas, and lots of love and treats for our pup whenever we bring her. They are also very charitable: on New Year's Day, they donated 100% of their proceeds to the Lake Stevens Food Bank. Highly recommend!

First time and it was a great experience. Really enjoyed the white coffee lavender drink and can't wait to come try the other options. Very sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful service from Hannah, Faith and Kenzie. And of course if you've never been, check out the fantastic Tom Thumb market next door, known for their surprisingly good Chinese food!

Not gonna lie, until quite recently, I was never someone who went to drive through espresso stands. I guess 20+ years of living in Seattle had trained me for the “in store” experience. But like all things aside from death and taxes, nothing is truly permanent. I stumbled upon Tom Thumb Espresso while on a work shift a month or so ago. I grabbed an iced coffee drink and went on my way. Probably a week later or so, I came back, again on a work shift and to my surprise, the barista remembered my drink and asked if I was having that again. It’s not that my drink is anything unique, it’s just the understated convenience of not having to say your drink order every time. There’s something so nice about that, which has turned me into a loyal customer. I’ll go out of my way on my work shift to grab my coffee from here now. As a side note, their prices — and maybe I’m still used to Seattle’s exorbitantly gouging — are truly reasonable. They don’t need to offer a stamp card or loyalty program, because they create loyalty due to their service and subsequently, their pricing. Kudos to this entire staff. I hope every customer tips you all as well as you deserve.

Great time yesterday driving through with my bestie. Amaya was wonderfully knowledgeable, sweet and helpful as we perused the menu and chose the best drinks. Always fantastic service at this stand, and a hometown feel unrivaled by big city coffee stands.

Hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had and they are consistent! They use a unique espresso bean and I’m obsessed! I get the vanilla oatmilk latte and it’s the best
