Grabbed a cappuccino and mocha to go--both were really good, but I especially loved the cappuccino. Smooth, well-balanced, and just the way I like it. The place itself is adorable. It's a shop + coffee combo with tons of cute items that had me wanting to browse way longer than planned.

This shop feels artisanal which was a delight. There are a lot of really fun gifts on the shelves. I purchased guava and passionfruit chocolate bars. They were pretty good. I got a mocha and it was pretty good but not as rich or dark as I hoped for. A bit too sweet. The two baristas were cute which restored my faith in attractive young adult men existing. They were nice and very helpful. Worth the stop in. Parking can be a bit hard to find. They have a good amount of latte flavors too. read more

I'm not understanding the high rating for this place. The 2 baristas inside were pleasant, I started a chat with them a bit, they were great. The cafe is clean and organized and there was zero wait (however I was also the only one in there). I ordered an iced latte with almond milk. The almond milk was pretty sweet which I'm not use to but that was ok, the espresso itself is not tasty. It was just bitter without a yummy roasty flavor.

Located on 9th street, this J5 coffee shop took us a bit to find since it didn't stand out or anything. We actually passed by their other shop without realizing. Due to this, it was actually quite empty inside with maybe 2-3 people. Unfortunately all of us inside had to wait an extremely long time for our coffee. I ordered a mocha and asked for a cup of water. They made us pay for a cup of tap water and when it came to picking up my mocha, they had forgot our iced water (that they had us pay for)...This was extremely offputting as we had already waited so long for our drink that they couldn't give us a cup of water. We went to a donut shop on the other side and got a cup there for free instead. Overall, the coffee was alright nothing too special, nothing to write home about, but with the wait we don't think we would be back. read more

We ordered: +a Macchiato - 2 shots of hand-crafted espresso with a dollop of foamed milk +a Chai Latte - 5 Sparrows Chai with steamed milk +an Ice Mocha The drinks were fine, but I felt that it could have been a bit stronger and served more hot as requested.

J5 is a coffee shop with two locations in Leavenworth: this brick and mortar store and a coffee stand a block away. This store doesn't have anywhere to sit but there are benches in the area. They have two boards on the wall that separate their coffee and non-caffeinated drinks. We got the spiced apple cider ($3.50) which had no added sugar but was sweet enough on its own. It was very spiced and great for a cold and fall day. We also debated getting the bourbon maple latte but will have to wait until our next visit to Leavenworth to get it. read more

A coffee shop and gift shop with no seating, but they do brew their own beans. Simple, clean, and the guy outside on the side walk did vouch for them by announcing that they had good coffee. The Bourbon Maple Latte was a basic choice but a necessary one in preparation for a long drive back to Sea-Tac. The Tuthilltown barrel aged maple syrup was none too overwhelming and provided just the right amount of sweetness to my drink at 1/2 sweetness. This specialty latte was $6.35 and the soy milk was a whole $1 add-on. Espresso was strong enough and temperature was a bit hot but not scalding at least. This shop is more intimate and easy going than the window they operate near Front Street Park. read more

Absolutely not. This is the second time we've been here, and both times were disappointed. We aren't Starbucks fans... love local chains... but this is just a touristy ripoff. Not only is the service ridiculously slow, but it's almost like they're trying to pretend their making this insanely elaborate drink when they're just sitting there chatting. Plus the service wasn't even friendly. The price was steep (in my opinion) for a tall eggnog latte you want almost $6... ok... but then why does my latte taste like nothing? I never get coffee out ever... so we came here to get a holiday treat and to enjoy the holiday spirit, and I would NOT recommend coming here if that's what you want too. There are far too many small coffee shops, bakeries, and just other places in Leavenworth to spend your $. read more

History

Established in 2013.

In September of 2013 J5 opened the Leavenworth location, primarily offering coffee tastings and selling our freshly roasted, whole bean coffee. The storefront also provide the opportunity to display a variety of coffee brewing equipment and coffee related items. In 2014 we launched our Espresso Bar; allowing us to serve a full range of espresso based drinks, while still continuing to offer freshly roasted coffee beans and related items.

Meet the Business Owner: Jesse and Courtney W.

A long time resident of Leavenworth WA, Jesse turned a personal hobby of coffee roasting into a growing business. Courtney grew up in Leavenworth, dreaming of opening a coffee shop in the Upper Valley. She has a serious love for espresso and a great eye for curating unique retail goods. Together they started J5 to supply the region with freshly roasted coffee, hand-made espresso and coffee drinks, along with coffee brewing equipment and education.

I saw cakes I hadn't seen in decades, the owner has the perfect German accent and the samples of the German rye bread will make you yodel for your own loaf to take home! I was so excited I completely forgot to ask for mine sliced! I guess I'll have to have irregular thickness pieces but the flavor is soo worth it! Great service super nice people!!

We absolutely love this bakery and stop in every time we are in Leavenworth!

The bakery is old and small with limited seating, which actually reminds us of the authentic grab-and-go spots in Germany. We always go for the Bienenstich (bee sting cake). The server at the counter was really sweet and helpful; she cut us a big 'ole slice knowing we were sharing. We devoured that incredible slice, which delivered a perfect bite of creamy vanilla custard nestled between soft yeast cake and a crunchy, caramelized honey-almond topping. The contrast of the smooth filling and the sticky, nutty 'sting' makes for a truly memorable dessert experience, perfect every time. We also snagged a mini pretzel loaf. We were only missing mustard, but honestly, my husband said it was so good it didn't even need anything. It was fun to see the baker hard at work making bread, and the whole place smelled amazing. If you go, get there early--they sell out fast!
