This coffee shop is perfect! The staff are friendly and inviting, the coffee is delicious and so are the pastries. They offer a wide range of coffee in various sizes perfect for the morning or an afternoon pick me up. The atmosphere is perfect for chatting with a friend, reading or studying. The outdoor patio offers a great escape here in Richland. read more

Barracuda Coffee is my go-to coffee shop. It's a cute building on Van Giesen right off the bypass, which is super convenient. They roast their own brand of coffee (Charis), so you are able to get a local fresh roast. My favorite blends are the Costa Rica and the specialty Ethiopian...the Ethiopian can sell out fast! I encourage you to check it out even if you don't drink coffee--they have iced tea and other drinks as well. The owners are friendly and make an effort to learn their customers' names. All in all I'm a fan. read more

Unfortunately Barracudas is not what it used to be. It seems the only familiar and pleasant face is Krissy and she is rarely there. The new older blond lady is only friendly sometimes and by the way she treats Krissy and bad mouths others it's a surprise any employee stays. Up until a few months ago I wouldn't go anywhere else. The coffee is still good thank God but the atmosphere is typically cold and uninviting. It's sad to see a good place go down. I'll continue going for now and appreciating those few days Krissy welcomes me and others by name and a smile. read more

Good coffee with outstanding service. My wife wasn't sure what she wanted to order on a hot day and he suggested a berry-and-tea combination. read more

So I've been coming here for almost 3 years now but only ordering from the drive-thru. The coffee is always great! My friend and I wanted to go get coffee together and chat but somewhere in Richland that isn't too loud and crowded. I really like this place and don't understand how I've never been inside until today! Great atmosphere and I like that it's not too loud and crazy! :-) I don't feel rushed to order my drink:-) it's a smaller coffee shop but so awesome! read more

I looooooovvvveeeee Barracuda! I live in Chicago and I SO wish they had a Barracuda here! Everytime I go and visit family in Tri-cities I make sure to stop in. They have the BEST coffee! I particularly love the Hemi :) read more

Not a big coffee drinker, but I like dessert type drinks, and Barracuda Coffee reigns. Have never had a bad drink, while other places I enjoy often have their ups and downs, so I appreciate the consistency on something as fickle as properly mixing a drink. read more

This is my fav coffee shop in tricities. My Best drink is a blended killer caramel half sweet.

Great place for coffee! They make an excellent cup and the staff is always friendly and fast

Great coffee, great service. Very friendly staff. We were traveling through and stopped in. Glad we did!

I have been a huge fan of Barracuda's for a long time. In the past few weeks, I have noticed a personnel change (beginning around March 2014 or so). I am not sure if they sold the place or what, but the new people seem to be lacking the customer service skills that were at Barracuda before. I usually frequent this place weekdays before 8am. In the past month, my order was wrong a few times and the drive thru workers were inattentive. I was really shocked this morning. I ordered a nonfat iced mocha and they gave me an iced latte with whole milk. I ordered my drink at the speaker and pulled forward to the window and was ignored for about 5 minutes before they even gave me my drink. A couple of workers saw me and didn't even acknowledge me at the window. In fact, my drink was waiting at the counter and then the drive thru window worker made 3 drinks for the car behind me before acknowledging me. It is sad to see customer service disappear at this place. I really like their coffee. read more

Great coffee, competitive pricing. Not as big as Roasters, but just as cozy. Love that they have some boardgames for customers to play. Try the cold brew. read more

This is bar-none the best tasting coffee in the Tri Cities, better than roasters, bad andys, and sharehouse. I worry when they change staff, or that they will change in general. I almost always get a hemi. read more

Barracuda's is such a great local establishment. They make the best flat white this side of London--much better than the big northwest coffee chain that everyone raves about. I love their friendly and competent staff and quality, wholesome products. Coffee is their business and you should try them! read more

They used to be pretty good, but then they went and changed the menu board at the drive through and it is VERY hard to read/find what you want. And none of the old yummy drinks are on the menu (White Angel, Killer Caramel, Hemi to name a few... all gone). The old menu is still on the website. The new menu is boring, plain, hard to read. Add on to that, I get a 16 oz iced drink for $4.25 and it is almost all ice, so within 5 minutes the drink is gone! Should get more for the money. read more

Super nice staff with a great atmosphere! Their coffee is a little more on the pricey side but it's rly nice if you go to WSU because you get a discount the frosted Jack is my al time favorite drink there read more

Best coffee in the tri-cities hands down

After reading great things about this place, I was excited to try it out. I'm from Portland, and am used to getting coffee from little independent cafes near my house. I am here for school - I've been slumming it going to Starbucks, but found this place a little by accident. I was a bit disappointed. The coffee is good, but the woman who took my order wasn't the friendliest, and there were no savory snacks, besides a ham and cheese croissant. When I asked the barista about other 'savory' offerings, she looked at me a little cross-eyed, like she didn't know what 'savory' meant. She asked me, 'you mean, like yogurt?'. Umm, no. Yogurt isn't savory.... Also, it's advertised here on yelp and on their website that they have a printer you can use, but when I asked the barista about it, she was like, 'uuuh' and had to go ask Jake the owner. Jake was friendly about it, and said there was this whole process, or - I could just email the doc to him and he could print it out. Maybe it isn't a good idea to advertise the use of a printer if 1) the barista knows nothing about it, and 2) it is such a headache to use. Overall, coffee good, baristas could use a little help. read more

LOVE the coffee (especially the Very Vanilla lattes). Love that they switched to Stumptown Roasters. Wonderful new remodel inside. The place is super inviting, and I'm pretty sure I could spend an entire day there. Increasing the open hours would be nice!!! read more

The staff is friendly and take the time to become acquainted with regulars. The Stumptown beans are excellent, and the baristas at Barracuda use them to make top notch espresso/americanos. read more

So glad to have a great neighborhood coffee shop. I heard they are opening in Kennewick by my work off Clearwater. I can't wait!!

Excellent coffee and staff, Starbucks has a lot to be desired in comparison. Locally owned, excellent staff. I'm a regular.

Great tasting coffee, good service, & great looking store. Only one problem. The coffee is crazy expensive. More expensive then Starbucks.

I'm from Seattle but moved to Tri Cities two years ago. Barracuda coffee, hands down, has the best lattes in the area. My favorite place in Seattle is Vivace and my favorite place here is Barracuda. They have very well trained baristas, they don't steam their milk too hot and the shots are always delicious. It's a great place for people who are latte / espresso snobs. read more

So thankful for Barracuda Coffee! Every drink I've had has been perfectly made. I love the atmosphere because it is very chill and unlike any other coffee shop in the TC area. The coffee does all the talking. No hype here. read more

What a great place; they always know your name and drink, after only a couple of visits. The inside/outside atmosphere is first rate, even if there is no view! Plus the coffee is excellent! read more

Whoever made my pam drink today saved me a lot of calories not money so a partial thanks I guess

I love this place. I go here a couple times a week. Never had a bad experience. I like their drinks better than Starbucks. I love it when I order my kids a flavored milk and they put little gummy bears on the lid of their drink. I think that is super cute! Keep up the good work Barracuda! read more
