I've been wanting to try their chocolate chip cookie but it's never ready when I've gone. Their burrito is delicious though, it's packed and super filling, not to mention the sauces are the best part! I wish they gave a little more as I end up finishing the sauces before the burrito is done because they're sooo tasty with the burrito. I also wish they had other meat options other than bacon. They don't have chicken add ins but other than that it's a great place! I've also had their biscuit and jam, but that's just ok. I wouldn't get it again. It's not that tasty or memorable. There's lots of seating, food is ready fairly quickly, service is great and employees are friendly, and parking right outside. So convenient!

There were many delicious-looking flavored drinks on the menu, but unfortunately they were all served iced, and I was in the mood for a hot drink. The staff recommended the Einspanner, which was very foamy and delicious. We enjoyed the Avocado Toast, which was loaded with fresh ingredients. However, we found it a little too oily, as both the vegetables and the bread were coated with quite a bit of oil. We also thought the Morning Sandwich, with its perfectly melted cheese, was a great value. They are currently running a promotion where you can purchase a $50 gift card for $45, and you can use it immediately. We will definitely be back to use the remaining balance on our gift card. One thing to note is that there is a 3% surcharge for credit card payments. Parking was free on the street, and it wasn't difficult to find a spot.

Wow. Velton's has changed my coffee life. I recently discovered Grain Artisan Bakery in Snohomish…read more(highly recommend), & since it was afternoon, I got a decaf latte to go with my rhubarb custard tart. With decaf, I've come to expect that I will need the sweet treat to enhance the drink, but this coffee was absolutely as good as the amazing pastry, which is super, super rare!! It was Velton's Three Ravens Blend, the best decaf - by far - that I have had in more than a decade of searching. Three Ravens is completely delicious standing alone - which is what I've been searching for - and it harmonizes beautifully for the half-caf I like to drink in the mornings. I first emailed the business about which of their caffeinated offerings they would recommend for this, and Velton Ross got back to me right away with the friendliest, kindest reply and several very thoughtful suggestions. So far I've enjoyed the Bonsai Blend - an excellent and delicious accompaniment, just a slightly warmer, brighter profile when full-caf than is my preference - and I am going to order the Twilight Blend next. Although you cannot buy in person from their roastery, you can easily order from their site. They have lovely detailed descriptions of everything they offer, and shipping is very quick and very reasonable. They roast on Mondays and ship on Tuesdays, and I have always received my order (in Shoreline) by Friday, or Saturday at latest. There are also quite a few retail locations from Everett to the eastside - and even one each in Vegas and Montana! - where you can buy their beans and/or drink their coffee. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to list these on their site with detailed information about each establishment. So helpful for learning about local businesses I might have otherwise never come across. Online, you can purchase both whole bean and pre-ground for espresso and drip coffee. The drip coffee grind was a little too fine for my coffee cone method. So I experimented with whole beans and found that, for me, the flavor is perfect when I grind them one setting coarser than I used to use for other coffees. The best part of all of this, is that this is the first decaf I've ever been able to drink without a feeling of compromise, extra doctoring, or gaslighting myself into believing that it's good. Zero disappointment!! I can make a straight decaf cup any time of day and know that I'm going to love every sip. Thank you, Velton's!!

My wife and I drive pass this stand many times each week. She is a Starbucks girl but said "let me try it here." We stopped early one morning a week or so ago. There was only one girl working and we were the only customer when we pulled in. My wife ordered her coffee and the girl working started making it. Then another car pulled in on the other side. It was obviously a regular as she start making his coffee immediately and spent the whole time talking to him. After she finished his drink and he paid, she got back to finishing ours. My wife loved the coffee but we will not be returning. read more
