Adding to the continued expansion of awesomeness, Yakima now has its own nano roasters!…read more A lovely couple started roasting beans out of their house about 6 months ago and had such a following that they decided to open up a little shop from which to sell said roasty beans! Located off Tieton next to a salon, a gym and a taqueria, it's a perfect place to grab your fix and go. This isn't a coffee shop, but rather a roaster, so you're only buying beans. The place is only open a couple times per week for folks to pick up orders (or buy more) and also for the roasting to be done. A quick tour revealed some really cool stuff they've done! Currently they're offering 4 different types of beans that they've sourced from all over the world. They're working to make sure the beans are fairly sourced from farmers in different regions so they have a variety and maintain the integrity of the product. It's pretty rad at its core! Non-pretentious, solid coffee, that benefits the people buying and selling it. The store is small, but with lots of character. The roaster they use is American made with American materials and is 100% awesome! Said roaster is the centerpiece and the art on the walls is from local artists. They've decided to not take a commission to everything that's sold benefits the ladies who've produced that pictures. Good stuff! At present, the bags retail for $15 each and they've got beans from Ethiopia, Sumatra and Mexico. Not the least expensive coffee you'll find, but truthfully not bad. It's less expensive than most of the stuff you'll find at any national chain, but this is actually benefiting the area A welcome addition to town and run by some great folks! Even if you don't like coffee, you definitely know someone who does, and as such it's worth your time to get them a bag of beans from here!

Finally we have an amazing coffee roaster in Yakima!!!…read more I went to Basalt Roasters on a Monday and it was tiny but BEAUTIFUL inside. The owner showed me the various kinds of coffee beans they carry. She was very friendly and eager to help me. They only had Latin American single origin coffee beans at that moment. I bought the Guatemalan and Mexican coffee. I tried them both and I fell in love the Mexican single origin coffee. The Mexican coffee smells so intoxicating and it tastes amazing. Unlike most coffee beans, they did not smell or taste burnt. They were bright and rich. The only downside of this place is that they're only open on Mondays and on certain hours during the day. If you're a coffee snob or just love coffee in general- I would totally recommend this place.

This is one of those spots we drive by from time to time and we finally stopped in after a hike…read morejust up the road! It's an easy in and out spot on the south side of the road on the west end of town - just as you're coming back in from the mountains. They've got standard caffeinated offerings as well as a lot of creative Red Bull drinks. The five star bump from us came from the fruited teas! We grabbed a couple green teas with strawberries and they were really good! Refreshing but not a bomb to the pancreas. They've got drive thrus on either side so things moved quickly and they had a couple snack options for those in the car that were also hangry during our visit! All in all, a solid spot to grab your daily fix or just something on your way to/from the mountains. Worth the stop for sure!

Small town café open Thursday-Sunday with hot and cold lunch items (Hubs loved his Rueben and our non-meat eating daughter raved about the Grilled Cheese Margarita), burgers, and a wide variety of breakfast items. I had the Crab Stuffed Eggs Benedict that was fantastically delicious. Don't even get me started on the fluffy homemade biscuits with gravy. YUM! Real shredded hashbrowns, too, not the nuggets that seem to be everywhere else. Thick cut French Toast made with homemade raisin bread was heavenly. Server was friendly and prompt, owner came out to chat with us, too. We were a party of six that fit comfortably in a booth. Lots of cute signs and vintage decor. Can't wait to go back!

Mountain Goat Coffee recently underwent some renovations. The interior is modern, cozy, and inviting. Plenty of places to sit comfortably, and clean restrooms.

If you are passing through town, stop by for breakfast! Thanks for the great coffee and delicious food Mountain Goat!

The blueberry muffin was not too sweet, and also moist and soft, easily finished all of them. Egg bites were also good too, we can taste that they were all freshly made. Coffee was well balanced, I ordered cappuccino with almond milk.

Enormous fan of this place. Must stop on the way to eastern washington. The coffee is delicious,…read moreservice is always quick and friendly. Drive through only (I think?) but that's OK, you're on your way somewhere. Terrific location and vibe. Apparently a second location, after one in Colorado. Must be a good story as to why those would be the only two locations, I can just say that this one is top notch and a great stop on a long drive.

We looked around via Yelp for anything promising out in this direction we were going and settled on Red Silo. They are a coffee roastarie. While we were there on site we wanted to purchase some of their coffee drinks as well. I got their rendition of an iced London Fog drink. The Earl Grey aspect I haven't visited in a while and it was good to return to it. The coffee bean options they had were barrel aged red wine coffee beans and barrel aged white wine coffee beans. We got the white wine coffee beans. The flavor is very unique and something intriguing to wake up to in the morning.

It's got a great location just off the main street in downtown, and was quite a lovely little space. Very much designed for people to come in, spread out and converse, it was a very warm and inviting sort of spot. The coffee offerings have a definite, Mexican flare to them, and were very nice. They had standard offerings and then a number of specials on a sort of fresh sheet. They had plenty of coffee and Mexican culturally centric items for sale as well as some clothing. Nice stuff to look through and most would find something they enjoy! The pictures in the wall were as expected, until I saw a print that read "Excess in Moderation". I found out it's by an artist named Ravi Zupa and now it may be my favorite picture! Back to the coffee - The ladies working here were very friendly and everything came out quick. All in all, a really cool spot with a great local vibe and pizzazz running throughout! You should check it out.

When questioned, the employee admitted the menu prices were wrong because the owner hasn't updated them. Speaking with the owner made things even worse -- rude, dismissive, and completely uninterested in fixing the issue or keeping customers. It was clear they didn't care whether my friends or I ever returned. Totally unsatisfied, and it's disappointing to see how far this business has gone downhill.
