Sleepy Monk coffee!! Quality drinks every time, great dairy free milk selection, great service, I even bought my reusable cup here it's so cute read more

Sweet community coffee shop full of adorable families, older folks, and business people too when I visited today around lunch. The staff was so nice and friendly. They were happy to accommodate my request for an iced tea in a "for here" cup and I was pleasantly surprised that their black tea was more than just a regular basic black. If you're looking for a good community hangout, a friendly local alternative to Starbucks, or a community business to support, check them out. read more

Ever since Jitters coffee closed down (I miss Jitters so much :( ) , there has been the need for a nice, local coffee hang out spot. Enter Down Pour Coffee Bar, this place is exactly that! Cute little tables and chairs accessorized with some quaint, antique-y shelves and cabinets make up most of the interior. And there are a couple of deck chairs on the patio outside, perfect for spending a sunny summer morning on. The place makes me want to settle down with a book or computer while sipping on a hot, steaming cup of coffee. Speaking of coffee.... My boyfriend and I had two of the holiday favourites - an eggnog latte and a peppermint bark latte and both were absolute successes! And when I asked for a double shot for my 12oz coffee, the super nice owner said "well of course, we auto add a second shot"! read more

I was excited to find another non-chain coffee shop on the Eastside, but I don't think this one will join the favorites list unless future visits prove me wrong. The space is lovely, with lots of light and seating and it feels like the kind of place you'd come to get out of the house and work or read for a couple hours. The coffee though - not up to par, in my opinion. I ordered a macchiato, which is my go-to drink at any new place, and was totally overwhelmed by the bitterness. Not well-balanced at all. I'm willing to give it another try since so many other reviews rave about the Sleeping Monk beans, but I'm thinking that this place is targeted more towards coffee drinkers who like their drinks with flavor syrups and lots of sugar, which would definitely mask the overly bitter espresso. Service was very friendly and it did feel like a local place for sure. read more

This has become a weekly hangout spot for us! Decent seating, bright atmosphere, and always a good selection of food/pastries. Not the best place for multiple children, gets too noisy and other customers don't like it. But they have a cute kids table in the corner and seating outside not directly next to cars. Best impression was the first time we came and their systems were down only accepting cash. The owner wrote down our order and let us come back to pay another day. read more

I bring my little ones here with me for lunch and a treat sometimes. We enjoy the sandwich and wrap options as well as the Mighty O doughnuts. My son always wants to sit in the orange Adirondack chairs before and after he eats at the little children's table. Both the espresso and fruit granitas are DELICIOUS! Really appreciate this close spot with great food and drink offerings. read more

As somebody who frequents coffee shops often, I am usually always looking for a neat new spot to set up shop and do some work (I'm a writer). Down Pour has a friendly staff, yummy grilled sandwiches, and a variety of sweet-tooth lover options. The coffee gets a 4.5 out of 5 - but I can be a pretty tough coffee critic. The simple style and ambiance is very comfortable - I will come back here again. :-) read more

This is my favorite coffee bar. The coffee and chai is fantastic, the baristas are friendly and talented, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I almost always see people I know when I stop in. When we need to meet somewhere, the answer is almost always, let's do Down pour! read more

I've been coming to Down Pour on my way to work for a few weeks now, and I'm in love with the coffee. I'd previously had Sleepy Monk coffee in Cannon Beach (Oregon) and was in coffee heaven, so I'm super stoked that there's a shop serving Sleepy Monk not 3 miles from my apartment. If you're a fan of Stumptown roasts, you'll like Sleepy Monk. I don't know the "proper" coffee terms to describe the flavor, but I would say it has the same kind of smooth character. Since I only stop in on my way to work, I can't say much for the ambiance or how good this place is for studying/meeting with people. That said, the seating always seems to be full, so I take it they have good wifi and comfy chairs. Bonus: they have outdoor seating for sunny days, and one of the walls opens like a garage door so the people sitting inside can get fresh air too. The service is excellent; the staff is really friendly and laid back. So, why four stars and not five? The food. Another reviewer mentioned that they have a great selection; I'm honestly not sure when that person came, because when I go in the morning, the pastry case is nearly empty and there are 1-2 breakfast sandwiches to choose from. Most of the food, besides the donuts, seems to come from Little Rae's Bakery. For me, that's big minus. I really dislike the slimy texture of the egg in Little Rae's breakfast sandwiches, and they have the most bizarrely-flavored pastries (frosted peach passionfruit scone, anyone? Blech...). And, since I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't want a frosting-encrusted, sugar-loaded donut for breakfast, that leaves me quite bereft of food options. I wish that they had better food options to go with their fantastic coffee. Fingers crossed that the food situation changes! read more

Great coffee, best baristas, community-invested local owners! Always a bright spot in my day, no matter how much rain is coming down.

Great spot to have a latte with a friend

This is the kind of friendly cozy neighborhood coffee joint that's increasingly hard to find. Their espresso is wonderful and they serve their drinks in classy mugs. The people who work there are always friendly and I love the Adirondack chairs out front. read more

I decided to try this cafe right across from my chiropractor's office especially for all of my cafe-loving (Yelp) friends. The inside of the cafe is cute, warm, and inviting. I loved how cut-out clouds were "floating" in the sky. The ladies were friendly and all smiles. I am not a coffee drinker, so I ordered an 8oz Chai. They seem to serve a brand called Scottish Chai (I think) mixed with milk. I did go for the good stuff (meaning whole milk), but oh boy, the Chai tea was super creamy, sweet but not too sweet, and delicately spicy. I sprinkled some chocolate over my Chai, put a lid on the cup, and basically chugged it down even before I got back into my car. If you are hungry, they also sell packaged sandwiches, salads, individual-sized cheesecake, and baked goods (including donuts). read more

Sparse coffee shop with extremely limited pastries. A very minimalist concept. The ladies behind the counter were friendly but didn't talk much, the service was. . . Paced. If you're in the area it beats chain stores, but not true coffee shops like Vivace or Blue Bottle. read more

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE. I am a big supporter of local coffee shops where ever I go. Down Pour Coffee Bar is a cute little place that is down the street from my sister's place with a friendly staff. Dog friendly (which is a plus), carrying local coffee (Sleeping Monk Coffee Roasters), the atmosphere was great. Did I mention the lounge chairs are a plus? Because it is. read more

Coffee is strong but very smooth. Excellent service. Coffee granita is made in house and very tasty. read more

Down Pour Coffee Bar - Yes, we must do it for the gram, and snap chat.. Etc etc - Sandwiches Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Wonderful coffee place! Whenever I have time or a relaxed morning, I stop by to get my cappucino. I come from Europe and it's definitely the best that I ever had, they really know how to make a good coffee and shine your moning. I must confess that I make a detour on my way to work to get my cup :) Not only the coffee is excellent but everyone here is friendly and has that attention to details that makes a difference. If you want a really good coffee, not make by someone pressing a button, this is THE place to go. read more

Great place! Very comfortable rain or shine. Roll up door, outside tables and Adirondack chairs for nice days outside and all sorts of comfortable seating for singles, couples and small groups inside. Also a fireplace, ample plug-ins for electronics and the coffee and service is good too. read more

The workers here are so friendly. The vibe is very chill and they have GRANITAS. Which is a magical slushee coffee drink that only like 4 places in king county have. Love this place read more

Honestly not that great. Almost $10 for 2 cold brews and they did not measure up to what I expect for the price. They aren't roasting their own beans, so why so much? I can go to Ladro or Victors to get a better java.the spot and decor is nice but not worth the price of admission. read more

Great coffee, friendly behind-the-counter staff, a superior oatmeal raisin cookie and a fine coffee granita. Terrific spot to slow down for a moment. read more

Down Pour Coffee Bar - Inviting front entrance on a typically overcast Pacific Northwest day. - Sandwiches Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Absolutely love this coffee shop and come here an average of 3 times a week (almost since they opened). Wonderful service, coffee, and treats. The staff will remember your drink almost immediately upon becoming a customer and that's very nice. Variety of seating - tables, high counter, chair & couch which make it great depending on whether you are relaxing or working. Wonderfully maintained and decorated and what a pretty view it has of the open area across the street, which occasionally has horses roaming about. Beautiful! Big windows are such a bonus. Just a great coffee shop and am so happy to have found it! read more

Super friendly staff. Coffee was on the strong side, but that's how coffee should be, right? Great music and atmosphere. I really can't think of anything else I'd want in a coffee shop! read more

Down Pour Coffee Bar - Sandwiches Near Me - Redmond, Washington

This is my favorite coffee shop in all of Seattle. I believe they have a location on Capitol Hill as well. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. There is lots of seating in the coffee house and they have these darling clouds cut out of wood hanging from the ceiling. However, it is anything but cloudy in there. They have Wi-Fi and a variety of seating and on nice days you can sit outside. Sleepy monk roasts their coffee and it is very flavorful. Best of all are their Granita's. They are not blended like other places, but they instead have a dedicated icy machine so that the drink is refreshing and authentic! They are a short drive off I-405 and totally worth the stop. read more

Unfriendly. The coffee was good, however, the current health situation is not an excuse for stand-offish, unfriendly behavior. There was a guy standing in the corner waiting for customers to step forward to order, and he couldn't be bothered to smile, say hello, or do anything else that one would expect of a customer-service business. read more

5 stars. This place had everything for the health conscious hippie. I got a beautiful hippie breakfast sandwich and a latte with milk choices ranging from almond and coconut to hemp milk. Hippie coffee paradise. read more

See all

We really enjoy the staff and atmosphere at Down Pour, and the coffee is the best in town! In addition the owner responds to reviews and takes feedback seriously, thereby ensuring great service! read more

Just tried this out the other day, and I enjoyed it. I couldn't stay for too long thanks to LIFE, but I did have time to enjoy the laid-back, fun vibe of the place. Seems like a really cozy place to hang out with a friend and enjoy some good coffee. I ordered an Americano with an extra shot, and I'm glad I did since it wasn't at all overly strong. If you like your coffee strong, I recommend adding a shot here. read more

As a local resident I want this place to be prosperous and do well because their coffee is awesome! Very kind staffs and good coffee.. What can I expect more read more

Our favorite cafe on the east side. We spend almost every morning here. Very tasty coffee, unfortunately so I started drinking coffee every day. Very nice atmosphere and staff. read more

This is my absolute favorite coffee shop. Ronnie and Steve, the owners are just about the nicest people ever and have created the most warm, authentic local coffee shop. They also brew Sleepy Monk coffee, which is super tasty! Perfect place to come meet up with a friend for a chat (plenty of comfy chairs!) or swing in for a coffee on your way to work! read more

Friendly staff. Nice selection of drink options. Quality product. Nice area to sit. Free wifi.

I LOVE this little coffee shop. Its on my commute from day job to afternoon job, and I love stopping in here. The staff is impeccably professional and friendly while still having personalities and they make a good drink. Coffee is Sleepy Monk, which while good isn't my favorite espresso.They do have my favorite breakfast sandwiches and a variety of pastry options (including gluten-free) to choose from. The space is clean, open, and industrial. Its not too loud or cold though- I've happily opened up my computer and worked without needing to put headphones in. Can't wait for summer when they roll the doors open! read more

I lived around he corner from here, and used to do contract writing work on off time when I wasn't working. I loved it. the owner is behind the counter with everyone else, she's super pleasant, kind, has manners and good taste. the place used to be a garage, and she kept the old door. Not to mention the food here is DELICIOUS. When I went here I was an outsider and new to WA. She made me feel at home. read more

We noticed Down Pour Coffee when we drove to pick-up sushi from Sen-Deli (Japanese deli) which is right across the street from it, next to the newly opened "Thirsty Hop." My boyfriend and I decided to try the place out one weekend. The coffee bar is walking distance from our home, which was very convenient on a nice day. We first stopped at Sen-deli to pick-up some sushi for a light lunch, and walk across the street to grab a latte. When you first walk into Downpour, it has a warm, cozy, neighborhood feel to it. Not so much as a the cookie-cutter, chain feel you get from a Starbucks. The barista's there were very warm and welcoming. The decor inside the coffee shop is definitely unique. They have clouds that "pop-out" from the ceiling. The lattes we ordered came in these beautiful polish mugs. We sat out in the comfy chairs outside the coffee shop and ate sushi. I would recommend this place as a nice place to hit-up for a good cup a joe. read more
