Finally found an authentic, crafted, coffee shop in EVERETT!!! Their lattes are great; Crafted to perfection. They also have a small breakfast menu! read more

SO CUTE. Atmosphere is incredible, staff is great. Wait times are a little long but if you want lightning speed you can go to Starbucks. Will be visiting this place again, and would highly recommend it to friends and family. read more

Stopped by here on the way up to Vancouver. Had probably the best pourover I had during my entire trip, and they really do make you feel welcome at the shop. None of the typical 3rd-wave-coffee-shop snobbery here. read more

I went there for the first time this morning to have a cup of coffee and spend some time while I was waiting for things to come together on a nearby job site in Everett. The staff was very helpful when I mentioned I was new there. They made me feel welcomed and comfortable on many levels. My only bone to pick is that I felt the place had a smell of over heated oil from something in the kitchen, this made my time there somewhat unpleasant during the two hours I was there. I'd recommend this place but hope they get some better ventilation soon. read more

Well. The waffles. The sweet ones....so good! And the tea was great as well. A modern hip place but the waffles were really good. A must to visit read more

Good coffee but the server was a bit snobby to me. Maybe he was having a bad day. The place was clean and the eBay extra food looked good

We love it here, great menu and coffee and atmosphere is real nice. We love the breakfast skillet

The coffee is good but they are SO SLOW. I came in to have a coffee & do some work but ended up giving up on my second coffee as I was just standing waiting in a line of 1... I am fine with waiting for my coffee to be made, as I can at least get some work done in the interim, but it shouldn't take 5+ mins to order when there's just one person ahead of me read more

I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was the bomb! The inside is super clean and updated! The burrito was huge could have shared it with someone and delicious! Their coffee looked good and will be going there again! read more

I wish I lived closer to Everett their coffee is so good. Ordered the caramel apple latte with oat milk, and I don't understand how they got the apple flavor in there without tasting sickly sweet or awkward but it just works so well. Their biscuits and toast is great too. Next time we're heading north of Seattle this is a definite pit stop. read more

Not sure what the rave is all about about this place. Came here twice to give it a shot and both times they were out of the flavor I wanted in my coffee. It's very Smokey and very poor ventilation due to the waffles they make. Very over priced. There are other better spots around Everett. read more

I tried Narratives mocha and lavender latte variations and enjoyed the sweet floral tones of their espresso. As other yelpers shared, I too had a good experience chatting with the batistas. They were friendly, knowledgeable and made an effort to get to know me. read more

We've tried this coffee shop reminding us of one of our other favorites in another state. Couple of times great coffee, last time cold cups of coffee and response from the woman barista told us that was the right temp, I think not! Went to Loft Bar for a delicious hot cup of coffee. Hope you train your staff to listen to the customers........Obnoxious answer by the way from owner on the 3/23 review, confirms my views read more

I've been here before and coffee is ok. Service is poor. Asked for two drinks: one with reg milk one w/o. Server didn't know which was which so she proceeds to taste both and hand them back having decided which is with regular milk. Pretty gross and unprofessional. Would not recommend if this type of service isn't addressed. read more

A perfect neighborhood find. Not what you expect from the exterior but exactly what you'd want in an atmosphere for breakfast and coffee. Service with a smile and helpful recommendations. A must stop. read more

I just went to this coffee shop for the first time and I gotta say, I'm very impressed! To be honest, for coffee, I just got a iced latte w/ honey because I wasn't sure how the coffee was going to taste, (since I've never been here before- I came specifically for the breakfast biscuit, but we'll get there!) all in all, the coffee was pretty tasty. I'll have to come back and get something to really try it out. But the star of the show was definitely the breakfast biscuit. It's freakin' delicious. It was made to order as well. The chipotle aioli they put on it is amazing. Pretty sure it's made in-house as I saw you could purchase containers of it, with some other options as well. I also saw cookie dough (?) for sale, and jugged "iced lattes". Pretty dope. The only thing I would change, and I get that it's because of the state of the world right now, is indoor seating. The shop is so cute and so my vibe I really wanted to stay and enjoy my food at the cafe! Definitely my fault for not checking first but just a heads up for anyone else! The employees seemed to have a good relationship with each other and were super friendly to me and other guests. Just overall a really great experience. Thank you, Narrative Edited because I forgot but wanted to say, this place is not like your typical coffee shop! I saw one of them making a pour over coffee which is just so cool. Not my preference but I really enjoyed being able to watch! read more

Hipster maybe, but not pretentious. It's super comfortable, and they're coffee is on point.

love that this coffee shop is in everett! stopped by on a sunny early afternoon for a laid back cup of coffee and wasn't disappointed. The line was short. The baristas were great at answering questions, although a smidge condescending with their responses to our questions. We also were looking at the baked goods when an employee came and grabbed the last one of a cookie for herself, so we just stuck with coffee. The coffee was good- we were all pleased with both our hot and iced coffees. If Everett was a more frequent stop for me I'd probably return. read more

As good as it gets in Everett. Love Velton's coffee, another Everett original.

Cutest little cafe. I was visiting Everett for work and was looking to get some breakfast and coffee that wasn't Starbucks. Loved the breakfast biscuit sandwich! read more

Narrative Coffee - Breakfast Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Everett, Washington

Best coffee I've ever had...in my life. And I had become well accustomed to my Olympia Coffee Roasters by the BULK ;) They offer pour over as well as espresso and Max knows how to do both-perfectly. Can't believe he is under a tent! Hopefully it is temporary, would really love to see this standard of coffee and treats settled into a permanent location as to enjoy year round. Great job, Narrative! read more

Had a great vibe, super cute and friendly staff. Food and coffee are delicious. A couple things to note during our visit today, it was very muggy inside and the sky lights were dripping on to our table/ laptops, so we decided to go somewhere else. The bathroom also smelled like mildew. I've been here a handful of times and my experience was better, so I'm hoping this is just a one-off! read more

Very cool urban setting type coffee shop in Everett. Great coffee and good atmosphere is hard t find. My only issue is that the music is a bit too loud for a type of music not everyone shares an appreciation for. Other than that, great place. read more

Best coffee shop in Everett hands down. Great atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and wonderful specialty coffee.

Good coffee but $1.25 up charge for oat milk is twisted. That is an absolute scam for a drink like a cortado or cappuccino, just a few ounces of milk. Please fix this @narrativecoffee read more

Great coffee shop, but it is a bit pricey. I will go there for a treat, but not every day.

A generally good place to go. It seemed to take a long time for getting coffee and they ran out of iced coffee. It's not the end of the world obviously, but just a little less than par. However, it has a great atmosphere and studying or working on the computer would be great here. read more

Just stopped in to grab their $2.00 , 12 ounce brewed cup of coffee at their honor bar and that is by far the best two dollar cup of brewed coffee I've ever had! The owners are really really nice and friendly and I believe this is the best cup of coffee in all of Everett. If you're downtown everything you want to cuppa coffee this is the place to come. read more

Yucky. I'm not sure what the hype is here. But it was not good. The place looked really cool and hip but that was about it

Awesome coffee, delicious waffles, and great atmosphere. We've tried a few famous coffee shops in Seattle but this beats all of them

Nothing short of AMAZING! From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you reluctantly leave -- nothing but absolute love for the team and what they do. I could go on for days and days. Narrative, you're killin' the coffee game! Thanks for coming to North Everett - WE LOVE YOU! read more

This place is very trendy for the area. Really clean and hip with a simple menu and quality coffee. Both me and my friend laughed and said that we thought we might not be cool enough to sit in there. Jokes aside, I'm glad to see this spot exists in my town instead of Seattle. read more

It's rare you find a remarkable cup of coffee. My wife got a ice coffee with cream and I got a black drip and they were both quite amazing. Nice environment, nice music, nice people read more

If Everett ever wanted to develop as a city it needed one thing, a truly stellar coffee shop. Narrative coffee may be small but this little pop up shop will not disappoint. If you're someone that truly loves coffee, then this is not only the best option it's the only option in the Everett area. It's owned and operated by an award winning barista, who is willing to not only serve you competition level coffee but share his knowledge with you. So feel free to ask questions while enjoying one of the best coffees of you life. read more

Narrative Coffee - Maxwell, the owner preparing a coffee during the 4th of July parade. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Everett, Washington

See all

Came here for the first time today after finding out Ryan- an old friend from Battle Ground, Wa helps manage this great place. Coffee, decor, and chill atmosphere are right down my alley. Best coffee I've had in the Everett Area since moving up her a couple years ago. Highly recommend for a date night. The couches are nice since we brought our three boys along with us though. Definitely recommend trying out if you're into supporting a cool local place doing it the right way read more

This place is phenomenal. The space is beautiful (it's nicer than any coffee shop I've been to in Seattle--I didn't know we had cafes like this in Everett!). Excellent coffee, nice & knowledgeable staff, varied seating, plenty of space. Awesome tea, too. Food and beer options as well! read more

Love this space! The coffee is delicious, the service is friendly and space is gorgeous.

My husband and I are coffee snobs (no shame), so we wanted to visit and see what all the hype was about. Narrative coffee was probably the most balanced and delicious coffee we have ever tried. And to make things even better, the staff was so welcoming and kind. You can tell that they know their stuff and take pride in working there We will definitely be back! read more

I know it's a big claim, but this is the best yogurt parfait I ever had in my life. The honor bar is cool too

Narrative is the best. The staff is excellent and have become homies. I spend lots of time here working on my laptop such a great atmosphere and great coffee. Get an espresso with milk and the buttermilk biscuit, you won't regret it. Max the owner is flawless. read more
