    What a pleasant surprise finding the combination of great coffee and phenomenal service. The owners of the Potting Shed recommended this as being the best coffee shop in town. So we tried it. It is phenomenal! We were helped by Nick and he met us with a warm smile and helped us through their many offerings. I went with a Kombucha and my friend went with an regular hazelnut americano. She said it was quite possibly the best americano she has ever had. They make their own syrups. Chatting with Nick, he shared that they are normally closed on the weekend but because of the event, they would be open this Saturday at 7:30. I shared that I had to be at the function by that time and he suggested that I check in on my way to the function to see if their preparation was complete. I walked in at 6:35 and was greeted with a smile and the update that he was testing the setup. He promptly prepared my order while continuing our conversation from Friday afternoon. The combination of great coffee and a level of friendliness and service makes this a memorable experience and an easy recommendation. It is well worth the effort to try.

    Their 4.5 stars is an accurate rating in my opinion. I upped it to 5 for their service and decor. Located pretty much in the middle of town, it is a true community hub. You get to vote for the monthly charity. How's that for community invokvement?! There's a microroaster on one end of the shop, surrounded by a counter with seats. Made me think that the roasting is an event to be witnessed? That would be pretty cool. Their espresso was clean and somewhat sweet. It wasn't a surprise when the barista told me that they use Ethiopian beans. I also had their spicy chai which was pretty good as well. Oh yeah, check out what the medium size looks like before ordering. It's huge. The surprise came when they presented us with a flight of mini donuts that someone else paid for, saying, welcome to Colfax! Gotta love the small towns. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to pay it forward as well. All the donuts were good, except for what I assume was the seasonal, with some minty mixture. That one didn't work.

    My wife and I's favorite coffee shop in the area, including Pullman and Moscow. While there are other really good coffee shops around Purpose Roasters standouts as the best for a few reasons. Their service is always exceptional and friendly. Their coffee is always very good and on another level. Their syrups are homemade with seasonal flavors that are unmatched in the area. So whether you want a great cup of drip coffee, an amazing latte, or a phenomenal sweet treat Purpose Roasters is the place to go.

    Great atmosphere. Beautiful big windows with view of Main Street. They have lovely decor. The coffee is very good. They have a small selection of house-made baked goods. Gelato is also available. There is a collection of hats, shirts, brewing machines for purchase. Very pleasant experience here.

    An awesome and fun addition to the main downtown! The atmosphere and coffee is awesome - I particularly enjoyed the Black and Tan latte, and the iced lemon vanilla latte. Lots of good options on the menu, local products, house made flavors and snacks, and the proceeds going to a different community cause each month makes me excited to come back! Staff was engaging, friendly, and happy to help explain and promote their product.

    Such good coffee! Nick's blends are amazing and so freshly roasted. Nick is very knowledgeable and a very friendly proprietor.

    Literally the best coffee in Whitman County. I go there everytime i go to my grandparents house. So good. Spicy chai is the best drink.

    This cafe is my second home. I started coming here almost a year ago and I'm here now almost every…read moresingle day. They are open Tuesday-Sunday. I'm not normally here at nights, but I think they're open until 5 Tuesday and Wednesday and then 9 the rest of the days. There are so many good things to say about this place, I'll try to keep it short (no promises): Having been coming here daily for a year, I've had the pleasure of watching the place and the staff grow. They had a couple of things going on when I first started coming here, but they've really branched out. Trivia on Fridays, WSU football games are live streamed. Open mic on Saturday nights, there's usually live music on Saturday mornings. Bingo on Thursdays just started. The owner supports local everything, including artists, authors, and musicians. There's a whole shelf full of board games and crafting supplies as soon as you walk through the door, so there have been multiple times I've been here with my kids playing board games and I've seen others do the same. The best part: Pet friendly. Beyond pet friendly. They sell puppy birthday cakes, kongs, pup cups, and quite few other dog related treats. There are multiple dogs that just hang out in the front with their owners, but there is a nice area in the back complete with booths and a barrier to allow friendly dogs to be off leash. Coffee and human food are amazing. Staff is lovely, supportive, and just overall amazing. This will forever be my home coffee shop as long as I'm in Pullman.

    The coffee was great. Staff were friendly. I didn't get any food, but it looked good!…read more And what a pleasant surprise to be visiting Pullman and find a cafe that allows dogs! It was a very useful training session for my Aussie. She got lots of pets from the other patrons, and good exposure. Nobody seemed to mind her occasional whine or bark. Will definitely be going back if I'm in town!
