This review is for the 1st ST Location in Shelton…read more My wife and I stopped here on the way to the ocean. I'm so glad we did. The ladies working the stand were so nice and professional. We drove up and were greeted immediately and kindly. My wife ordered the special the "Blended Thin Mint" which does in fact have coffee in it and it's so good I tried it and if I could have dairy I would have loved it to the last drop. I got a cold brew with sugar. And before we left they wanted us to make sure it wasn't too sweet or that it was sweet enough. And I thought it was so great that they asked me that before I left. You can tell they care about their product, customers and brand. If you live here or are just rolling through this a great stop.

Urraco Coffee Company was a great stop on a very recent trip to Shelton. We have heard about it…read moremaybe about a year ago but never made it there until just recently. I could be wrong but it looks like it's the only independently owned coffee shop in town or at least in the downtown area. And it indeed shows! The line to place orders was quite long inside the place and they were also managing orders for drive thru customers. But they had the line moving steadily and got customers on their way at a pretty good pace. I'm guessing it's like this here often and they are well practiced! But there was also a church nearby and a farmers market which brought in a lot of people. I really enjoyed the Toasted Pecan Latte from their Autumn coffee menu. It was very good! Nice and smooth and the nuttiness was so pleasant as we enter into Autumn! Of course it wouldn't be a full coffee shop experience without trying out the pastries. They all look to have been made locally as in the Shelton area. I got an almond Danish which was so good and went with the coffee drink quite well! Such a nice coffee shop to hang out at. They have indoor and outdoor seating but even with that it could be a challenge to find a place to sit if it's always this popular.

It is a cute little place in a great location. Was recommended to go there with friends that we…read moremet. We are from out of town so we were open to any suggestions and this just turned out to be a good one. The coffees that they made were all made very well and the staff was super friendly and helpful. They have lots of good pastries, just kind of wish they would've had like a breakfast sandwich or something on the menu. What they do have, they do well though. So no complaints at all.

I asked for my drink and turned around like I couldn't hear her and started making fun of it. She proceeded to say that it wouldn't even taste like how I wanted, I watched her proceed to make it like a Carmel frappe instead of a Carmel macchiato blended (which I got confirmed by another barista is a thing and in my opinion they taste completely different). I hate being confrontational and so instead of my normal 3 dollar tip for a small order I gave her a dollar and drove off. Normally love the staff, I normally love the drinks. But if she's at the window, I will drive away. I don't like that kind of confrontation, but you can't be rude about a customers order all of the time (I do agree if it's blatantly stupid like Latte with no milk or some shit), but funny enough I do know my drinks. It was specifically requested for a reason, this is the first time a barista questioned that order here. So maybe have management talk to her about this? I don't want her fired, but I think some additional training would be nice.

While visiting the Olympia area, I had designs on getting coffee from one of the drive-thru…read morelocations. After some research, I found Avenue Espresso to be highly recommended. Food Their drink menu includes many of the standard drink options that you would find at most coffee shops. I went with the iced mocha, which was very tasty. Unfortunately, I had eaten shortly before, so I didn't order food, but their breakfast burritos sounded excellent. 5/5 Service Like with any of the drive-thru coffee places, you are prisoner to the amount of customers there at the same time. It took about 10 minutes to get our drinks. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable when we made it to the window. Drinks were made quickly as well. 5/5 Ambiance The building itself was inviting and did a good job at displaying their menus. It was what you would expect for the type of coffee shop it is. 4/5 Avenue Espresso satisfied my itch for coffee. It helped complete the full Washington experience. I would definitely come back.

I'll admit, I love the breakfast burritos here too! I think I've tried them all. The exterior and outside is super cute. So great outside decor.

I wanted to be adventurous and try out a cafe that I passed by and ordered a matcha. If you look at…read moretheir yelp page, you'll see that no one had posted any matcha drinks and I think I know why. So, I ordered the banana salted matcha since it's one of my fav flavors. As I finished paying, I overheard one of the female workers tell her coworker how she thinks matcha tastes gross and to add banana to it is so artificial. Mind you, the cafe wasn't big and that convo bounced off the walls so I heard them. Anyway, after trying to watch them make the drink, I left and tried it. And sure enough, no wonder matcha is gross to that girl. The quality is very gritty and bitter. It definitely tasted like they used culinary matcha either premade or with hot scolding water. The banana definitely was giving banana laffy taffy flavor. I should've tried an iced latte instead for my caffeine kick..but even then I should've just passed from coming here altogether. Customer service was no bueno enough for me to regret coming in.

The reviews were high and I always love an espresso spot that has monthly specials as I am a sucker for trying out themed or unique drinks. There was another car in front of us so we got to peek at their regular menu for a little bit but it was on their window and pretty small. As we arrived at the ordering spot, we got to see a bigger version of their menu and the May specials (they usually post it online but I don't see the May one). I got the creamy colada while my boyfriend got the Tres Leche Latte. The drinks were made to perfection and hit the spot. The cashier/barista was very friendly, professional and patient with us as she knew it was our first time. She let us know to let her know if we have any questions or to let her know when we were ready as we also told her that we are pretty indecisive. I appreciate that she didn't just keep staring at us or rushed us as that makes me feel really uncomfortable and pressured. However, we were able to select our drinks and enjoy them. Not much to say about the ambiance but I do like the look of their little shop. It is eye catching and gives a welcoming, cozy vibe.
