Stopped by for a quick iced Americano. Place is was empty but it was not morning. Nice greeting from the barista. Ordered my drink and it was only $4.35, a fair price. Was asked, "do you want an extra shot? It's free shot Friday" and gladly accepted. Express was not bitter not rich and smooth either. Drunk was pure expresso and ice and would have preferred a touch of cold water added. Place is better than Starbucks though!!! read more

This coffee is soooo good! And the service was amazing as well :) I got the cold brew with pumpkin cold foam! Will definitely be back for more read more

$6.95 for a 12 oz soy vanilla latte. The barista always asks for a tip, so $8 for a small coffee. I wonder if management tells them to ask for tips. Maybe they don't get paid enough. Make your choice. read more

Classic Coffee - $6.94 for a 12oz coffee, and the barista always asks for a tip, so almost 8 dollars for a tiny, soy vanilla latte. - Desserts Near Me - University Place, Washington

Great coffee, nice staff and excellent breakfast burritos. Such a great neighborhood coffee spot.

I wish I had taken a picture of the sausage egg and cheese ciabatta that I just devoured before thinking to post it. But my experience today at this location was 10/10. It's 1/2/24 and I don't know who was working but she was the sweetest, friendliest young gal and she made a great soy latte! She was helpful and knowledgeable and one of those people who just have a positive energy. I loved her! I know this used to be a forza and I did frequent it often and honestly I am happy that not much has changed with the rebranding. The spot is large, warm and welcoming. The bathroom was very clean. There are tons of drink and food items options which is why I went inside to see the food case and decide on what I sure was the best breakfast option. I've been needing to find a new cafe with good drinks and food options after CANCELING SBUX and I am so glad I found it. And it's very close to me!! I've been going to the classic coffee in Lakewood for over 14 years as I loved the express detailing but now with that under construction and the UP location closer, coupled with the excellent customer service and delicious/many food options I just became loyal to this location. Keep up the great work Cory! Hope to see the full service up and repaired soon-PS your employees at the standalone wash right outside of fircrest are also top notch. read more

Absolutely love it here. The baristas are always friendly & the vanilla oat milk lattes are delicious! It's a great alternative to Starbucks as they also have a drive-thru. The line always moves pretty quickly as well. read more

The first thing I'll say is I LOVE their coffee. BUT I have a huge issue with consistency. Each time I come here I order the same exact drink and each time I am charged a different amount. I've ignored it because it's a discrepancy of less than a dollar- until today. I ordered two iced 12oz quad shot espressos with white chocolate. I was not told the total but came home to see a charge of $12.65 (including $1.00 tip) on my statement. Will attach photos as supporting documentation. read more

The service here is very friendly and quick to serve. I didn't eat here but the place looked comfortable and welcoming

I didn't want coffee and they didn't have matcha (menu is somewhat limited), so I got a smoothie. It was tasty but did freeze me out with it's iciness on a cold day. What wasn't icy though was the service. And pricing wasn't too bad either -- about $5 for a decent size. Bottom line: Good service. Limited menu but they seem to do what they do well based on my vast experience of one visit. read more

Nice place, used to be a Forza and is now apparently something else. Barista was nice offering suggestions; however, I took away a star for what I think is a really good health reason. We had gotten our drinks and we're sitting talking while one of the worker's little boy of about 3 or 4 wandered around. That was fine until he opened the refrigerated case with all the bakery and other items inside and proceeded to put his hands over many of the items in the case. Some were covered with plastic, others not. Who knows where that young man's hands had been and none of the other workers paid any attention to him so he continued. That's enough for me not to go back read more

Omg the best chai I've had in a really long time. Spiced or vanilla. I said "whichever is more popular" cute barista said vanilla! So so creamy and flavorful. YUM!!!! * I also come literally 20 minutes before they closed which I felt SO bad for but mama needed some caffeine. The barista was so so so friendly!!!!! read more

They make a nice latte and the beans they stock for grinding at home are excellent. The ladies behind the bar have good energy and will happily fix something if you aren't happy with it. Drink costs are a little high but I'm only by every other week so I can live with it. There are a bunch of painting and photo prints from local artists for sale on the walls too! read more

All the girls are super sweet,. This shop is one of the two shops I like to go to. Nothing bad to say other than some days it does feel like it takes a little longer than I'd like. But I should just leave the house earlier. read more

My most favorite espresso place around. There's something about the coffee they use. It's simply wonderful.

Best coffee shop i know! The employees are always so sweet! Probably the best customer service I've ever had! Their drinks are so good! Sometimes i have trouble choosing what to order, but they're always so helpful and suggest delicious drinks! Great quality coffee and even better customer service! I'm so happy i live right down the street from this place! No other place can beat their good taste! read more

Once upon a time, there used to be many Forza's in this town. Now, they are a rare species. I was so excited to discover there was one left within driving distance. This Forza still uses the same brand of bean and roaster, which makes their americanos rich and delicious. The coffee frappes are amazing. They taste like coffee and ice cream and not like those nasty sweetened chemical frappes from the green mermaid place. The paninis and donuts are great. I've worked here many long days, and into the night. The staff and owner are always friendly and upbeat. It is a popular place and it can be hard to snag a table large enough to work at. You'll often find many regulars pushing two small tables together for their meetups. If you like good coffee, this is the place to be! read more

Forza is just down the road from my significant other, so I guess you could consider this our local spot. The coffee is decent. I would say this is on the 2nd tier of coffee-dom, with the likes of Valhalla, Bluebeard being the first tier. This is a solid cup of coffee. They also have breakfast burritos and panini sandwich things. I've only had a couple, but they were good. When I don't want to make the trek to 6th for Bluebeard or Valhalla, Forze more than fits the bill. read more

This spot has been one of my favorite coffee spots. It seems with the name change (from Forza to Classic Coffee) they misplaced their customer service. Today, my daughter and I walked in. There were 4 people working behind the bar. Not one greeted us. We stood at the counter for a bit and watched staff Interact with 2 customers who were seated at the end of the bar before leaving. I'm disappointed in the new experience. read more

I came in and they have changed owners. They have changed the food. My favorite paninis are gone. Disappointed. read more

Forza Coffee Company has good coffee, friendly staff and service as well as good bites.

Classic Coffee bought Forza in University Place and changed much of what made Forza great. Same coffee distributor, Dillano's but very different coffee blend. Not the Forza blend. You can definitely taste the difference! Forza used Ghirradelli chocolate powder and Classic Coffee uses something different. Even the pastries have changed. Its too bad because I was willing to drive out of my way for great coffee. Disappointing! Response to Classic Coffee response below: While I appreciate your feedback, this has nothing to do with the previous owners. I was very happy that the previous owners were selling their store as it enabled all of them to pursue other dreams. I was a customer long before Forza Corporate went under. Thank you for your comment. While I wish you the best in your endeavors, I have found a new cafe that I enjoy . read more

The coffee is great! My favorite place to get coffee. The only constant problem I gave there is the baristas confusing a 16 oz drink with a 20oz. I order 20oz frappes all the time. They literally make it in a 16 oz cup and then try to argue with me that a 16oz cup is a 20oz cup. This happens every other time I go. I have literally gave them the coffee back and said let me see the 16oz cup then. They said they were wrong and made a 20oz only a few times. Most of the time, they will argue and say it's a 20oz when in fact it is only a 16oz. read more

So I order a breakfast burrito and a coffee at 8:17am. The girl gives me my coffee and asks me to pull around back to their pick up area for the burrito. 20 minutes go by and still no burrito. I walk inside and she looks at me and says, "oh yeah, the burrito". She then asks the other girl to put one on for her. I explain to her that I have 2 kids in the car that need to get to school and to just cancel the order. She proceeds to get an attitude with me like it's my fault, finally completes the refund in between making drinks and then slams the receipt down at me onto the counter without saying a word. I'll chalk it up that maybe it was a bad time of the month for her, but learn a little customer service, especially when it was YOUR FAULT. This establishment not only lost my personal business, but also my corporate business. You never know who you may be waiting on any given day...oh well, coffee stands are dime a dozen. Never had this type of experience at Starbucks. read more

We come here often to write. The staff and owner are all kind, welcoming and helpful. Their coffee is fresh and a damn sight better than a certain coffee chain that will take your bucks (get it? winkwinknudgenudgeknowwhatimeanknowwhatimean?). The only drawback is that ironically because the owner is so welcoming, we often find ourselves in the in the midst of one community group meeting or another, which tend to be loud in such a small place and create an atmosphere too distracting to work in. But in addition to all the other perks, they're open long hours, and they don't lose their friendliness no mtter what time of day you're there whether it's first thing in the morning or a minute before closing. read more

This is one of the best group of baristas...! They all know my drink ahead of time, which is so impressive. The managers are smart and very kind. Whether in the drive-through or in the shop, I always feel welcomed and the coffee is always spot on. Well done!! read more

One of my favorite coffee places in UP. Friendly Batista's. Great drinks with good options. Good food selection. Great atmosphere.

Kailyn is the best she is has amazing service great attitude and good coffee she always has my drink ready she knows my big red truck

Italian roast coffee like their previous Forza tastes and grinds. My go to neighborhood coffee shop for taste and value and sparkling personalities behind the counter ready to serve. I usually walk in and save on the idling gas and grab grounds for my indoor plants (nitrogen) and outdoor community garden. read more

I absolutely love the new Classic Coffee off of Bridgeport! The new menu is amazing. I love to go in and chat with all of the nice girls that work there. My kids love it too. They always want to try a new snack and have never been disappointed. Such a warm and positive atmosphere. Best coffee place around! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place . The employees are so welcoming and friendly . Maria remembers my drink everytime .I am always greeted with a warm welcome . The service is fast and the drinks are made to perfection !!!!! read more

I believe this store and the 2700 Bridgeport store are the original Forzas in this fast growing chain. I was in Seattle a few months ago and saw a Forza in the U District - wow! Because this is one of the original stores, and I'm guessing it is still company owned (as opposed to franchised), you will find very consistent, high quality drinks. As a semi-regular to this branch for over 8 years, I can hardly think of a time when I've had bad service. You will find a small selection of the average coffee shop fare here - cookies, small sandwiches, bagels, etc. They're fine if you need a bite with your caffeine, but not worth a special stop. Lots of specialty (aka foofy) drinks here if you like frappacinos and those types of drinks. Better than the other independent coffee spots in the area. read more

What happened? I know you guys changed your name but the coffee is terrible. I went to get my usual caramel macchiato and instead I got all sugar and barely any coffee. The caramel tastes different too, either that or the sugar just makes it taste different. It's not horrible to the point where I won't drink it any more but I'm gonna start looking for a new chill spot. (I accidentally gave it 2 stars). read more

I'm a big coffee snob. So the coffee here isn't super premium but it's better than Starbucks. I like the view of the ladies and from the inside. I've always like Forza and I've had no problem with anything! read more

The coffee is okay not amazing or anything. Don't expect latte art in your cup. If you're looking for quality coffee you're better off with going to one of the local coffee shops on 6th Ave. read more

Really good atmosphere. I was there Friday afternoon and it wasn't crowded. The express was good.the people at the counter are nice.

They make my fave mocha plus an extra dollop of chocolate---the best picker upper for a gloomy day! Baristas are always friendly and they have a good selection of gluten free pastries and sandwiches to go with your drink for bfast, light lunch or snacks! read more
