This is hands down my favorite coffee stand! The coffee is consistently delicious, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. But the real star of the show? The whipped cream. It is absolutely magical. Highly recommend! read more

The coffee quality here is hit or miss. But the real problem is the last time I went here not only was my drink wrong, but then on my credit card, the barista charged me more than what I signed for on the receipt. I'm not sure if she decided to write in a tip (mind you I had already tipped cash), but the price that was listed on my credit card bill was not what I signed for. Will not be returning. read more

Seriously, go elsewhere. The staff is disinterested at best and outright rude at worst, and despite the huge number of syrups they have, it can't hide the burnt espresso and bubbly, overheated milk. I've had better drinks from bikini stands and that's saying a lot. read more

Have returned here multiple times since my last review, and I am still satisfied with the different flavors of all the drinks! I personally like sweet, syrup heavy drinks, so I'm happy with the selection! When there is a line, it does take a bit, with only one person working, but that has only happened to be a couple of times. read more

Dolce Vita Espresso - Iced Spanish mocha - 12 oz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

Best little coffee stand in the area. It's a super cute drive thru with easy access to two drive up windows. Baristas know what they are doing and won't keep you waiting long. Yummy drinks!! My favorite drink from here is a 24oz iced mocha with Oat milk and 3 shots of espresso. Delicious read more

This is the best espresso stand in Kenmore, by far. The variety of drinks is amazing for their size. The staff is always friendly and upbeat. read more

came here today (3/23) and ordered 6 drinks, immediately apologized to the barista for the big ordered and she rolled her eyes and gave an attitude when asking what the drinks were, i ordered two vanilla 12 oz vanilla lattes, hot chocolate 16, 24 almond milk mocha, 16 iced caramel macchiato, and a 24 redbull. The vanilla lattes had absolutely no vanilla in them and the shots were burnt and the drinks were warm with ABSOLUTELY NO ICE. The caramel macchiato had so much vanilla and with no ice again was warm. The almond milk mocha was the worse, the almond milk tasted burnt, there was no mocha syrup and was overall so nasty. I would not recommend coming here and spending your money to just receive bad attitude and bad drinks. read more

Great coffee and an even greater coffee crew!! A cute little drive through in Kenmore that we chanced upon, while in the area. We ordered their Tuxedo Mocha and Aloha Mocha. The tuxedo mocha was a new flavour - white chocolate, dark chocolate and espresso. The aloha one had traces of coconut with milk chocolate and espresso. Really good drinks and they even offer to customize the sweetness for a few options. Lots of quick snack options available. We got a bagel warmed up with cream cheese to go. Special shout out to the barista. She was super friendly and talked to us the whole time we waited. Also offered biscuits for my dogs. Would love to get back here and try their other menu options! read more

You cannot get a better cup of coffee! Love this place always friendly, always fresh, always fast and ALWAYS DELICIOUS!

Great service and coffee! I tried their mexican mocha which had yummy notes of cinnamon. It wasn't too sweet and their coffee roast is so smooth! Quick service and they had a good variety of both drinks and food. They had some breakfast burritos and sweets for sale. Definitely give them a try! read more

I have been going here for the past 8 years and I have never had a bad experience, they get busy but they move quick. Kyla has a rotating menu of holiday a specials and is truly accommodating with milk choice and food items available. Everyone is so friendly! Lucky to live 5 min away!

Dolce Vita Espresso - Dolce Vita Crew! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

Just plain great coffee. No burnt taste like that mermaid stuff. Smooth creamy latte. Yum

It'd been quite a while, but when I dropped by this morning found to my delight that my 'regular' beverage order had been remembered: such a great way to start the day! read more

Barista choice for me was perfect! White coffee...not a coffee drinker but I do love the warmth.

I love visiting here every weekday morning. Kyla, Anna and the crew as so friendly and accommodating. The coffee is great as well as the conversation! read more

The girls working this stand are really nice, sometimes the line gets backed up and they only have one person working evening during morning rush. 9/10 my coffee is burnt too, my husbands always tastes great though! read more

Just a quick little review after a whim decision to visit this little drive-thru coffee stand before some Thanksgiving shopping... I am so happy I chose to stop by!!! The barista was SO friendly and delightful and just made my experience great overall. There were many drink options and cute pastries, but as always, I'm sold on a dirty chai latte. It was absolutely delicious and I'm excited to live nearby for future coffee runs! Thank you for such a delightful & quick experience :) read more

A great lil espresso stand that tailors your coffee drink to your desires without the attitude. The white chocolate caramel iced mocha isn't short on calories but it's big on taste. I like supporting the small coffee stands more than Starbuck's. Excellent service and wonderful smiles. You can drive up either on the north or south sides for convenience. read more

Dolce Vita Espresso - Smile says it all - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

Best coffee in the area. I've literally gone to every stand from Kirkland to Bothell and my coffee is consistently delicious. It's not a difficult drink, iced carmel sauce Americano splash of cream, but it is easy to burn a shot etc. My drink is always good, never burnt and the workers are super friendly. I've been about 5-6 times and have never left disappointed. 5 stars easy. read more

I've been wanting to go thru here for awhile. Got the chance this morning and it was a huge disappointment. A waste of time. The barista was chitchatting way too much for how busy it was. And with two lanes, we got passed up because she was too busy talking on one side that I had to wait for their conversation to end, 6 minutes later. We left. Didn't even get to try it. Very unprofessional. We'll never go back. This is why people go to Starbucks! read more

We discovered this coffee place early this week after looking at the high reviews. Tried the Signature Mocha and it's amazing... and we've been coming here everyday since and will be back for more! read more

Perfect espresso each time. Dare I say it the best in town of Seatlle!?It is smooth, pungent, sweet and refreshing. It is tucked in the back from the Bothell Way but worth the side trip. read more

One of the staples of our daily life in Kenmore. Friendly baristas, drinks, and breakfast sandwiches. Highly recommend.

Lovely staff and great hours. They make great coffee! I thought I was going to be stuck without a good coffee stand living around here. Thankful I found this place! And they have pineapple and coconut syrup which are my go to for red bulls read more

If you can make it out here, do. The baristas are super friendly, they have almond AND coconut as non-dairy/soy options and the coffee is delicious. I've quickly become a regular. read more

I usually only write a review if I have have a 5 star review, and this is no exception. Under new ownership. As a biz owner myself, I like that it is woman owned, and guys, she's not hard on the eyes. Definitely not the "slut hut" kind of place though, thank goodness. The fact that I can get sugar-free and dairy/soy free = heaven! Better prices than the chains around too. In the same lot as the post office, and totally worth the slight detour off of Bothell Way. They serve Smith brother's dairy, plus soy, rice, almond and coconut milks. Even dairy free whipped cream! They alos have cookies, scones, etc. My dogs just like the free treats. Finally a drive-thru you can feel good about! :) read more

Great coffee... good prices.... friendly baristas. slightly off the beaten path, which is always a good thing in my opinion. for the literati, it's accross the street from the library. go. get an expresso, you will be glad you did. A year later and Kyla and her minions still pour the best espresso! (4/25/2013) read more

I work as a barista at a different stand and I would highly recommend this stand! I swung by on a whim one day to get my caffeine fix and the barista working was so nice! I haven't gotten anything besides a Redbull Italian soda so far but they do a great job on those. This is my new go to spot if I don't want to drive all the way to my work!(: read more

Probably my favorite place to get coffee or chai. They are one of the rare places that stocks both hemp and almond milk. And to boot make great drinks hot or iced. I've personally not yet had a burnt or sour tasting drink. Pretty surprised since most places disappoint in one category or another. And then on top of all of that they have a great selection of snacks. Even gluten-free. Again, easily my favorite place to get coffee. read more

AMAZING coffee . Every time i get coffee from here it's very fast and friendly service and always very consistent also Has a large selection of pastries and snack options . Also very easy access . If you haven't tried this place it's worth a try read more

Just happened upon this cute drive up espresso spot near the Kenmore Post Office. Very nice and friendly gal making coffee today. I had planned to get a protein shake based on the recommendations, but then I saw they offer Bulletproof coffee. Which is great! Now, I know where I can get it when I'm on the go. read more

Dolce Vita Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

It used to be a small film processing shop. It's a drive thru only location. You will find it near the post office in Kenmore. Yes drinks are good. I think it's only one or maybe two baristas at a time in the stand. If you are in a hurry then this is a good option. My other fav coffee shop had to turn itself into a drive thru only coincidentally. read more

Coffee is the least quality of the 3 shops on this block. I had a mocha and they use powdered cocoa mix (ie Swiss miss style) for the chocolate component. For the same or lower price I'd go to either Espresso Works or Tullys on the same block for better coffee and friendlier staff. read more

I was so pleased to find a place nearby with sugar free chai and alternative milk options. The beverage was timely and delicious and the lady working there was friendly and outgoing. read more

I totally screwed up on the previous review - thinking that this was actually the espresso stand at the hanger. DV is awesome: Kyra is great, the coffee is great and they are fast. Go here often! read more
