    Velocity was such a cute little place, i was a little confused on what was on the menu (because it didn't seem like they had one) but i asked for a brown sugar chai latte and they delivered! They have 4 amazing homemade syrups (i got the cardamon brown sugar and it was great!) the pastry selection wasn't for me but it had some great classics.

    Really nice little place! Nice coffee combinations, I'm not usually a hot coffee person but I got the brown sugar cardamom latte with the orange whipped cream and really enjoyed it. Great banana bread and gluten free chocolate cookies. Very friendly staff, lovely views of the docks and a short walk to a nearby park :) I'm only visiting the area but I'd like to return to this cafe again!

    Year after year Velocity consistently provides GREAT coffee and pastries and the amazing, elusive Bob's Bagel. Velocity is a wonderful place. Highly Recommended!

    We popped in before our drive home to soothe my migraine. Staff was very pleasant and warm, the bee sting was yummy and the bagel was loaded with delicious cream cheese. Views are great if you sit inside.

    5 stars!! Place was clean, warm, extremely inviting. The staff was amazing. They did not show any negativity to my questions or the amount of time I needed to make a choice, they even helped me with my choice of dairy replacement. Which is huge when trying new things! The Bee Sting was made with oat milk for me and it went together so well. Would drink it daily if closer! Absolutely perfect. Even had a beautiful heart on top. My partner was new as well, they aided in her experince. They didn't have any caramel but came up with a very yummy coffee with vanilla, neither of us had to use sweetners or anything. Was great as is. The blueberry bread AND the almond topped orange cake(can't remember exact name) was divine! If close by, check em out!! Even the artwork on the walls are worth the little stop in.

    Great view!

    Best coffee I've had so far in Port Townsend! This was my 4th try this morning. 1) Room coffee…read morereally bad. 2) Lobby coffee bad but better than room's coffee maker. Restaurant where I had breakfast was OK. Did not take any of the refills offered as there had to something better. AFTER 3 bad drip coffees taken black, I ordered a delicious latte from Better Living Through Coffee. My vegan latte made with macadamia alternative milk was near nirvana. Plan to go again before I leave town.

    This is more of a 4.4 star, very good, but can't quite round up to a 5…read more This cafe is located in a corner of a building with beautiful views of the water, both inside and on their little patio outside near the entrance. The line was long but moved fairly quickly. However, the shape of the cafe doesn't help to make a streamlined queue... it's crowded and a bit confusing as to who's standing to order and who's waiting to pick theirs up. Nonetheless, I was excited to see the options in their pastry case and on their menu. The bigger case had mostly a bunch of quiche and savory options, while a smaller one had sweets. I ordered the salmon quiche because I've never seen that anywhere else so hello, gotta try it! I also got the Arancia (basically an orange mocha) because I love the combination of chocolate and citrus. I appreciated that the worker communicated well and told us the quiche would take 10 minutes to warm up. My husband got an Ethiopian light roast pour over, which was cool to see being made on an apparatus that looked like it had space for about five pour overs at once. Opinions on what we got: Ethiopian Light Roast- Flavorful, just a bit lighter than others I've tried, and it didn't go sour with time. Very good! Arancia- Holy cow this was delicious and I would definitely get it again. Keep in mind, the orange peel was actually in my cup and I was surprised when all of a sudden I was chewing on something and pulled it out of my mouth! But it does say "orange peel" in the description on the menu, so I should've known. Salmon Quiche- A bit pricy but wonderful! The quiche itself was well seasoned, & the salmon was evenly distributed. My only complaint is that the crust was quite difficult to cut with a plastic knife. We were on their patio, so we had to go back inside to grab a metal butterknife (of course we returned it). Tamale Pie- Oh yeah! We left to walk around town then decided we were way too curious about a tamale pie in the case that we were eyeing earlier, so we returned to get that to go. Unfortunately, this was a big disappointment. First off, this was the same price as the salmon quiche but the quality seemed so much worse. It didn't taste good, was unevenly cooked (mostly dry), and the crust was hard as rock. I even put taco sauce on top from a pack we had in the car. It helped to make it taste a little better. Would never get this again, though. Overall, I really enjoyed Better Living Through Coffee and will be sure to return on my next visit to try other quiches and drinks.

    This review is not about us getting to enjoy the high tea but the poor quality of customer service…read morevia phone. Pictured is how long the young lady who answered the phone placed me on hold, then I decided to hang up. Next photo is I decided to cancel our high tea reservations right after I hung up. It was for my daughter's 41st birthday. And all I called for was to let them know about allergies, and what kind of tea menu they have. Her reasoning for placing me on hold or calling me back was because she said she had a long line of people. As I waited I heard all the conversations going on. Honestly I think she forgot about me. I opted to wait on hold because it's difficult to get a hold of me, and I had appts to get to. When she said place me on hold I didn't think it would take over 20 minutes. At least have someone else you work with take care of the phone call if you're that busy. It's unfortunate I canceled because my friends and I have traveled different states, countries, even all around Seattle proper to have high tea or even afternoon tea. My family and I were willing to drive the almost two hours to try Cafe Tenby because none of us have even heard of this place. So I don't think we will give this place our business. As an elite all star yelper, I don't think anyone I know will also.

That's pretty much what we got here though not overwhelmingly good. First I'll say that other recent reviews pointing out differences in this cuisine vs traditional Mexican American or authentic Mexican dining and the very nice staff are not far off. Of course it's all personal taste and expectations. So here we were only moderately pleased with the food and drinks but it was a marvelous place to spend a little time near the water in nice outside tables with light blankets folded over the backs of seats for chilly times on the deck. The margaritas (hers spicy and mine standard) were good enough though served in a chimney glass which is different. The tacos we ordered were pretty good though not the best ever by any means. The hot sauce was "house made habanero " I guess in generic bottles after asking for Cholula. It was ok but not my preferred sauce. And the chips and salsa I asked if they were included and brought to the table but later found that they charged us for them???? Not a fan of that from an expense and a transparency standpoint!! The chips are house made and not uniformly made with thick chewy parts and a lot of crumbs. House made salsa reminded me of a house made version of jarred salsa. The staff was very nice and accommodating and two cute sisters dominate the service scene which was fun to watch. So I don't know that we will go again but glad we tried it. Wish I could give this a better review but it was just OK.
