I am not gonna lie, before their recent paint job of the coffee stand i was a little wary about trying their coffee. It might sound bad but that's just where I was at. They got a new paint job and so I stopped in. (super cool art by the way whoever was the artist.) First impressions were absolutely incredible. I got to meet the owner and her best friend who were running the stand. Classy ladies. Unique excellent quality recipes. Incredible friendly service. Quick. And it's so hard to find great customer service these days. They said hi to my kids. Talked about their nieces and nephews. I would totally go back, and since I drive by it so often, it will become a regular stop for me! can't wait to go back read more

Omg! Best coffee stand ever! The wonderful owner has a magnetic beautiful energy and takes pride in her stand and coffee! I had an iced salted caramel latte and my daughter had a cupcake latte, we had cold foam added to the top and there was even a sprinkle of pixie dust on top. Magical coffee!!! They were both soooo delicious we were sad when we finished because we just wanted more! Stop by and grab a coffee you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been a regular here since it opened, about 15 years give or take. Arlene is the best barista I've ever had. She cares about her customers, she always checks in with me on how I'm doing and what's going on in my life. She's genuine. She remembers details we discuss. It's not just about the coffee even though it's my favorite and they pull it as good as anyone. It's about how Arlene lifts me up on down days and I like to think I lift her up when she's a bit down. Please support her business, think twice before going through the Lake Forest Park Starbucks drive-thru. Go to the little espresso stand across the road at the end of the gas station lot. She works her ass off to keep this place going. We need more businesses like hers. read more

Whenever I'm in a new area, I try to check out at least one highly rated coffee spot. While my husband was at a doctor's appointment nearby, I quickly zoned in on Wired Chicks Espresso. I found the location relatively easily, as it was located on a corner that it shared with a gas station. There was one other car on the other side of the coffee shack, but I was able to pull right up to the window on the other side. The barista was very friendly, and I could tell by her conversation with the other gentleman that her following was strong, and her rapport with her customers even stronger. I ordered a white mocha for my husband as that is his regular drink, and a Mexican mocha for myself. I didn't expect much, given that when I usually order a Mexican mocha people usually give me a mocha with cinnamon. Hardly anybody understands that the flavor profile is much more complex than that. Being from San Diego, I loved drinking Abuelita hot chocolate on a cold day, and that flavor had stayed with me to this day. However, when the barista asked if I would like to have Cayenne in it as well, it sparked some hope within me. Well let me tell you, that first sip of the Mexican mocha was magical. It was literally the best damn mocha I have ever tasted. I am now looking for more excuses to make the hour-long drive up north so I can have my next Mexican mocha at Wired Chicks. Thank you so much for the delicious drink! read more

Love this little coffee stand. They have all the traditional drinks and a few fun variations, in addition to shakes and a long list of flavored syrups. Milk alternative options are available: coconut, almond, and oat milk. Service was friendly and fast for a Monday morning and just having two people working in the stand. The location is drive up only in the same lot as the gas station. A really great side if the road stop without going out of your way. read more

I dislike writing reviews like this, but it seems another person in Google Reviews has experienced the same problem and we surely cannot be the only ones. Nobody is there working during business hours when I have been there. I have tried to patronize this place now on 3 separate occasions and on different days on listed business hours as shown on Google! I heard of a 24 ounce hot mocha, which is bigger than Starbucks largest size. Sadly and with regret I have given up trying. Its 3 strikes and yer out... My last attempt was around 10 AM on 9/26/21 And like the other Google Review said, I have to take a different route of my normal routine to get there. To end and reflect on this review. None of us really know what's going on in the world with others, and I hope there is no personal/family emergency that is going on that has caused this absence. If that is the case, I hope and pray all gets better and soon! If thats the case, maybe please consider posting a visible message on the business to let patrons know? But if these absences are due to personal choices of not wanting to open/work on listed hours of operation. Maybe a name change to "Lazy Chick's" would be more appropriate unfortunately. Which would not help business, just like when people going there cannot do business with you. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SPOT. Its my new favorite. Started coming here on my way over to Seattle when Starbucks looked busy and the girls that run it are so sweet and I will now always come back here. They remember us now and our orders and are always sooo gracious. The selection of syrup flavors is HUGE!! I like to go sugar free and it can be a hit or miss when it comes to the taste of sugar free sweeteners, but there's are a HIT!! Tastes like the real thing. The owner of the stand helped my boyfriend find his perfect drink by blending different chai flavors together, I've never seen him love a drink so much. They even add the sweet touch of a dash of cinnamon on the drink , which is a great touch. Gives these girls your business, they're worth it. read more

I'm new to the area and looking for a coffee stand l. Went here once and I asked for no water added in my americano and they didn't listen. I assumed they didn't hear me and decided to try it again. I said 4 times no water added, and they added water anyway except this time I heard them say just add more ice so u can't tell. So my coffee is not even more watered down and there's no cream and barely any vanilla and now I have basically watered down coffee that I paid over 5 bucks for. I'm disappointed and very upset. Do not recommend this place if you like your drink a specific way. It makes u pick a star rating otherwise I wouldn't give one. read more

Drinks are okay, when the barista is paying attention to customers instead of her phone. Sat there for a couple minutes at the window and called out to her but I guess she couldn't hear over her music and was too busy looking at her phone with her back to me to occasionally look up to check her windows.

I had checked out One Bite Cafe before in Seattle's Roosevelt neighborhood out of curiosity regarding croffles, but it didn't not leave a lasting impression at the time (open since 2019, with that visit in July 2022). However, when The College Friend set up a meet up at the Lake Forest Park site yesterday (open since May 2022, this visit on 4/9/26). There is an interior entry from the two level retail area and an exterior entry adjacent to the big shared parking lot. It took me a few tries until I found a spot. I was kindly greeted upon entry while the counter person was assisting the customer ahead of me. I ordered and paid directly on the convenient touch screen kiosk located to the left of the main register. I liked the interior transformation. Lots of onsite seating configurations and pleasant decor. Overhead music played the Beatles, which was a pleasant surprise. The wrap around pastry cases with well placed menu placards showed the variety of menu offerings. There's a wide variety of bevs, sweet and savory pastries, desserts, sandwiches, and even gluten free items from NuFlours. I ordered a 22oz iced classic milk tea with 75% sweetness and no toppings, plus some Korean sausage bread. The College Friend decided on a toasted Reuben with chips. We also shared a Portuguese egg tart. We were onsite for three hours. I noticed a constant stream of customers who also dined onsite, as well as, folks getting items to go. I appreciated observing the consistent pleasant and helpful counter staff, all with welcoming smiles!

Honey Bear Bakery Cafe

The pastries looked good. Wish they sold sourdough bread but they do offer it in sandwiches. There's a lot of seating in the food court area although it can get crowded on a busy weekend.

But first, coffee and breakfast. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, which consists of a croissant, egg, lettuce, tomato, mayo and I added bacon for an extra charge. It was solid, with the roasted/warmed up croissant and was filling. I also liked that they had Victrola coffee, which I ordered a drip of. Strong coffee = no complaints. In addition to their made-to-order food items, like the breakfast sandwich, they also have pastries in the case and a full coffee and tea menu. It's nice to have this cafe in the Lake Forest shopping center with plenty of seats around, next to many other businesses and tons of parking nearby. I dig the convenience of it all.

This is a family friendly family owned coffee stand employing only locally sourced employees who seem to be drug and alcohol free while at work. I like that. Anyway, the employees here seem wholesome, but not too wholesome, like I'm sure they think some dirty thoughts once in awhile but they don't advertise them for all to see and certainly wouldn't act out most of them. I like that. What I like most about Wired Chicks is that they offer tasty and healthy snack and lunch options. For instance, when I'm feeling bloated or just plain bitchy, I'll get some crunchy and yummy yam chips with my Americano instead of a nutritionally deficient muffin that'll make me feel sick, sluggish, and fat later in the day. When I'm on my period and feeling anemic, I'll pick up a tasty and nutritionally balanced salmon meal with beets, kale, bell peppers, and rice and beans to keep me going strong. If i'm feeling fat, I'll pick up one of their satisfying robust ginger chicken salads with kale, collard, and romaine. These snacks, meals, and salads are flavorful and energizing, they'll energize you so you can get more done at work, at home, and in bed. Wired Chicks offers more than a good morning coffee and sincere service, they can provide you a satisfying, meaningful, and happy life. Choose life, not escape! read more

I had a very unpleasant experience here. The way I was treated made me feel extremely unwelcome…read more The employee kept an unusually large distance from me throughout the interaction, as if I were contagious, even though I wasn't sick. It was uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly disgusting. I've been to countless coffee shops over the years, and I've never experienced anything like this. Whether it was intentional or not, the treatment made me feel singled out and unwelcome. I left feeling humiliated instead of appreciated as a customer. I won't be coming back, and I cannot recommend this place based on my experience.

The shop has a bright, cozy atmosphere with plenty of seating, making it a great place to catch up with a friend, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet coffee break.

I ordered a from their seasonal special list - blueberry pancake latte. it was excellent--well crafted, flavorful, and not overly sweet.

A great coffee drink with delicious salted caramel and vanilla notes. The breakfast sandwich (Bagel, ham, egg, cheese) was yummy too. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they were out of a lot of the food options, and it was around 9:15 am when I went. I'll definitely return and hopefully they'll have more food options then!

They all make amazing drinks and always remember 'your' drink....even when you randomly change it up on them. LOL They always have a kind word and greeting, even when their day isn't going as well as it could be. They are quick and will make things right if there is an error (from what I've seen.. mine is always right :). The drive-up can get busy, and there may be a wait, but that's a testament to how good they are. So take a breath and stay calm. They'll get your caffeine to you as soon as humanly possible!

Outstanding service - the team of Diana, Lexi, Tay, Bree, etc are all amazing. Fast and friendly.read more

Needless to say, I'll be saving my money--and my peace of mind--by staying far away from this stand.
