Introverts- the coffee house for you! I had a house coffee and ham/cheese croissant. The barista asked if I wanted room on top for half n half. I did. She produced chilled half n half for that. It is nice to see some that's. It just sitting out all day. As far as the vibes that some complain about- listen, some of us prefer to skip the loud chatter and incessant noise. If you're like me on that, this is a great place! The interior is very calming with some chill instrumental music for light background. The barista seems very capable of handling all the business. She's efficient, and doesn't require my life story for a cuppa joe. Next time I'll try some of the espresso drinks and baklava. I'll definitely be back. Introverts unite! Separately. At your own table. Quietly. read more

Blue Castle Coffee - House coffee, to which I added half n half, raw sugar, and a dash of cinnamon. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Battle Ground, Washington

If cold indifference is your drink of choice, you'll love Blue Castle Coffee. Yelp has other reviews mentioning the rude owner or barista. I have nothing to add. I thought my drink, a 16oz ice latte was ok, nothing special, just ok, I do not plan to visit again. There are other coffee shops to try. read more

What a disappointment. Took my wife here for a morning date and found an owner/barista, I'm guessing, not quite ready to start her day. Luke warm latte, along with a no smiling barista makes for a one and done visit to this joint. We had such high hopes for this place read more

My drink was not pleasant whatsoever, the shots were burnt and it was lukewarm rather than iced. The service wasn't great either, the singular woman working (the owner) was unpleasant. Would not recommend. read more

Rude. I left without making a purchase because the barista/owner was so rude. It looks like I'm not the only one that had this kind of interaction here. A real mood ruining experience. read more

I took my 16 year old niece here as a special treat. She ordered a drink and a pastry. I'm assuming it was the owner, asked her a question that neither of us heard. My niece politely asked, "what was that?" The woman in a very rude harsh tone, repeated her self. "Do you want your pastry heated up!" My niece and I looked at each-other wide eyed. We sat and ate our subpar pastry at a table that rocked back and forth. Never again will I go here. It's too bad the place is really cute and quiet. It has the potential to be one of those little gems you discover. Battle ground has some amazing coffee shops this was not one of them. read more

Good to know: - order and pay at the counter and then seat yourself - cash, card, and tap to pay accepted Overall, unimpressive; but if you must know more, read on. I was meeting a friend and arrived a little early. When I walked in a chatty man was conversing with the barista while she made his drink. The barista was not engaging much, so I thought, "Geez maybe this guy can't take a hint". No. She just wasn't in to chatting. When I go to a local coffee shop for the first time I like to order their special, or house made syrup, or whatever it was that made them say, "Yes! I am going to open a coffee shop and serve the best darn [insert whatever here] anyone has ever had". There were no specials or highlighted drinks so I asked the barista what she likes to drink. "What I like? How is that going to help you?" Is this an uncommon question to ask baristas? I didn't think so, but it turns out that her favorite drink is also my favorite drink so I ordered *our* favorite drink which is an oat milk latte with no flavoring. Since it is the barista's favorite drink she made it very well. When cruising the pictures online I saw a pastry case and was excited to try a pastry, but upon inspection it was a sad display of Costco products, individually wrapped in plastic wrap. I plucked a biscotti out of the bucket it was purchased in. When my friend arrived and ordered her drink, she received even less interaction than I did. I can't remember the food item she ordered but I remember it being a microwaved frozen item from Costco. We sat for a long time and talked and laughed and we weren't bothered. There is a sign on the cold case that says you can reserve their large open seating area for groups and I think this would be a nice place for a book club to meet if you wanted decent coffee and Costco pastries and just generally to be undisturbed. The place is adorable, I'll give it that. Great big windows and high ceilings. Very clean. Not busy. Writing this review was just as much a 3 star experience as visiting this coffee shop. read more

We have had our women's coffee group at Blue Castle every month for the last 9.5 years. Always a nice way to start the day.

My favorite place to go. Wonderful coffee, quiet, calm ambiance, and a great place to relax and chat.

I loved my banana and whipped cream crêpes. Very nice little café to visit friendly and welcoming.

STAY AWAY!!! Terrible customer service and coffee. The owner is mean and very disrespectful. Go to Founders Coffee and Mercantile instead you will be treated better. This lady should not own a coffee shop!!! read more

This is a very nice coffee shop with one BIG PROBLEM-the woman who runs it (seemingly all by herself-we were there for an hour and never saw another employee) I can't tell you how unpleasant her vibes are-she never smiles and acts like we are bothering her JUST by ordering coffee and sitting there. (My favorite moment with this charmer is when she started mopping the floors ALL around us to make clear we needed to leave, pronto-unbelievable) This shop REALLY needs a NEW EMPLOYEE who is friendlier and/or makes you feel welcome (vs. the gal there now who gives the vibe that she can't WAIT for you to leave) read more

I've been a customer at Blue Castle ever since they opened long ago. It's always a calm, relaxed environment for meeting friends, or just to get a well made iced americano. Pastries are always fresh! Wife loves them. read more

Best coffee shop in battleground Wa city in town and the customer service is so good that

This is a great coffee shop. The coffees are very good and always fresh. There is a good selection of pastries and the limited selection of sandwiches are always fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. The decor is interesting and attractive, and the seating area is clean and comfortable. read more

Disclaimer: a One Star rating is way TOO high/generous for this shop! The employee (owner?) is the most rude, unpleasant, least customer-friendly individual. There is absolutely NO WAY this shop is making it on customers only. This morning (my last ever visit!) she and I engaged in a verbal argument over her pervasive pissy attitude toward customers (me). Drink/eat here at your own peril and rest assured you'll not see me there again! read more

microwaved breakfast. sources beans from Walmart. non organic milk. overpriced for lousy quality coffee.

Delicious little coffee shop. We got iced lattes and tried the bakery goods. Highly recommend the lemon bar, blueberry muffins, and bagels.

Very nice ambiance with cute decor, comfy stuffed chairs. Coffee was delicious; pastries were good. The music makes you feel like you're at the spa but it seems to be the same piano song on repeat which can get a little old after a while. The lady wasn't super friendly. Would come back though read more

employee (owner?) 3/3 around noon was super rude and not inviting at all. I ordered for my daughter and myself and we actually ended up throwing out our order and leaving a few minutes later because the staff was just so rude. i'm assuming her problem was me coming in with a toddler. read more

Diamond in the ruff is how I would describe Blue Castle Coffee shop. The Menu is affordable with a wide range of Espressos, colorful smoothies, assorted pastries, and fruity drinks that tickle the taste buds. The relaxing music and comforting floral ambience decorating the interior compliments the surrounding brick buildings. The service was on par with any other coffee shop I've been to. My only complaint is that it was a ghost town. Battleground village has so much potential it reminds me of Radiator Springs and we should put it on the map! read more

Really wish they updated their hours on yelp and all platforms . Multiple places say they close at 7 on Mon-Fri. Just drove 30 mins over here to find out they close at 4pm now. :( read more

I go here often, usually with one of my siblings, out of convenience. At least it was like that in the beginning because now I come here because I like it. The women working here is always nice and I always order an iced mocha, which I highly recommend. They make one of the best mocha that I've had. read more

My friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a cup of coffee and seasonal pastry today. We came to the Blue Castle Coffee café for the first time to explore the options. The lady at the counter was super rude and it seemed that she had some kind of a bad day. I tried to reach to her with a smile and a joke, she just snapped back. Very mean and ignorant. I usually don't give bad reviews and would leave this issue alone, however my friend was visiting me from another country and I wanted to show her the best of Battle Ground Village (as I had only great experiences with other businesses there: the restaurants and library are amazing). So my attempt turned out to be a disaster. I would not recommend to anyone to come there, and especially if you have a good day, save your time save your money. read more

Ambience in this shop is very fun enjoyable and relaxing. Food was very good. Cinnamon roll was awesome. We were there off hours, and the person at the counter was not as friendly as we were in the led to believe in the reviews. All in all a nice place read more

Amazing place to come study, and great coffee as well! Always peaceful and everyone there is super friendly and nice! Owners are super awesome! 5/5 recommend! read more

Oh my gosh, this coffee is good...!! Wow!!! The flavor will knock your socks off! So perfect and flavorful! I had the white chocolate mocha frap, and it was beyond amazing! I also tried the lemon bar... And let me tell you, I've been disappointed with many lemon bars before... I'm just very picky about the flavor of the lemon and the crust on the bottom. Most crusts are very gooey and the flavor lacks the citrus that I so love... Not this one! Perfectly lemony, and soft and buttery crust! I'm amazed... I might just come back for the lemon bars! It was amazing! Give it a try! The lady behind the counter was very, very sweet. She even topped off my coffee all the way to the brim, and used a whipped cream lid to fit more! Excellent customer service, and very homey atmosphere. This is a great place to study and read. Very quiet, like the library :) I will definitely be coming back! They have an amazing assortment of European treats and desserts that they make in house! She told me they make 80% of their treats in the actual coffee shop! Wow! Amazing... Very sweet lady, I really enjoyed my time chatting with her. I wish I asked her name. She has a very cute European accent :) Anyway, give this place a try! You'll love it as much as I did! read more

Love their coffee! Also love the atmosphere. Nice, quiet and very relaxing! Whether you need to finish up work or just sit and relax with A cup of coffee, you know you can do it there. read more

Absolutely perfect. Olga and Maria are wonderful, friendly and warm, the tea and the coffee is good too! if you like a quiet spot to sit and enjoy your coffee or tea and a treat, this is the spot. Home made goodies too. Ask for a pot of their Earl Grey tea, it is the best on earth. It was closed for a short while, but is open now with new ownership. read more

Lovely little tea house in Battleground Village. The pastries, especially the caramel walnuts, are to die for! read more

It is not that the coffee is bad, or the coffee shop not quaint, it is how the owner talks to his young employees. This happened a week or two ago and it is something I can't forget. He talked down and yelled at them kinda gave the" gesture are you stupid.". They just stared at him with a very confused look at him.. It was very awkward for both girls. I hope he acknowledges this and changes his approach of running a business. read more

I had the same experience as Gail. Apparently, this guy just bought the business in December. The coffee was pretty good but the owner was a full-on jerk to the young gal who seemed to be helpful and hardworking. I asked him if he was the owner because I was going to complain about him. I felt too awkward waiting for my coffee while he snapped at the girl about what to do with sanitizer buckets. I won't be back. read more

This place has good coffee. Watch out for when the guy with dark hair makes it though, it will have no flavor. Otherwise, everyone here has been really nice, service is pretty quick, good atmosphere... most importantly though, the coffee is great. The 'cannonball' blended drink is my favorite. read more

This was at one time a GREAT place for everyone. The dark chocolat e was fantastic. From reading the latest reviews, it has changed, must be the new owner. Now it is closed. Too bad when something so great dies. read more

The coffee is really good and so are the treats. The workers are very nice and friendly. They even gave me a delicious cookie to try. :)

My favorite local coffee shop. They always have excellent, fresh cookies and pastries. My favorite drink is their "Mint Leaf Mocha" but I've tried nearly every other drink on the menu, and some that are not. They are all excellent. The service is always friendly, and the interior is uncluttered and tastefully decorated. There's always great music playing, and magazines and a paper to read. read more

Great little coffee shop. Delicious pastries and the hostess is very friendly and gracious.

Awesome must come here if you haven't been. Won't be disappointed. Very friendly staff and nice and relaxing atmosphere. But, most of all great coffee! read more

I had a project in Battle Ground today and I always plan on being early. This morning I had enough time to enjoy an great latte and a scone for breakfast. It was the first time I have been there. It is rather small but they make up for it in great service and coffee. read more

The espresso was good, but not as smooth as I like. Facilities were clean and staff friendly. The egg & ham croissant was delicious and hand made. read more
