Buffalo Expresso II

This little coffee stand is on the crazy-​busy corner of Seattle-​Hill road and 35^th ave, so I think it’s a must-​try little stop, especially if it’s not busy. I swung by this place on a somewhat sunny afternoon and really needed a caffeine fix! So, what did I end up ordering??? A Freaking Toddy Shake!
If I were rating the shake alone– it would easily get 5 stars. This deliciously crafted shake is basically a cold-​brew coffee milkshake! WHAT?!! So dang good! It was the perfect mixture of coffee and icy-​goodness! Next time I stop by, I already know what I’m ordering!
Also, I wasn’t really able to taste the coffee itself (normal drink is an americano con panna) but the cold-​brew tasted pretty good! As somewhat of a coffee snob (grad school ruined me for life), I was actually somewhat impressed with the body and flavor of the coffee itself.
I only rated 4 stars because the barista was super-​sarcastic, which isn’t always a bad thing, but it just left a weird taste (no pun intended) in my mouth. When I pulled up, said she was «amazing» very rigidly. And, as I was driving away, she said something to the tune of: «Have a great day» but with a straight, non-​smiling face and somewhat tongue-​in-​cheek.
Either way, I’ll be back here for another Toddy Shake (I might go again today…) and will update my review as necessary if my next barista is any better!

I actually feel bad that I don’t know the guy who is always working when I come here because he’s honestly one of the nicest baristas I’ve ever come across in my life! I don’t come here often because it’s not in my neighborhood but when I’m in Mill Creek and thirstin for somethin besides a cup of coffee at Starbucks or Spotted Cow, I come here! My sister was the one who introduced me to this place. She said she was craving a yoguccino (sp?) and I HAD to try it! It definitely did not disappoint! It’s like a milkshake but it’s made with yogurt. Next time I go, I’ll try a fruity flavor since I’ve had chocolate and coffee before. My go to drink, however, is the red bull Italian soda. Would recommend mango guava if you wanna try something besides your typical strawberry. Definitely pick up a punch card if you live nearby!

I only ever come here in the mornings, so my review is for the morning girls/​coffee. I don’t come here everyday, but often enough that the barista knows me. I change my drink on her everytime and she doesn’t mind. She always makes my drinks perfect. I think her name is Jamara. Good coffee, nice and pleasant barista!

Coffee was fine but the girl who has helped me a few times is so awful. I’ve gone for its convenience with my commute. But I will never go again because this one particular coffee girl is so rude and gave me the most fake smile as I was leaving I regret tipping at all. These girls should take s class on customer service.

I was convinced by my wife to give this place a shot (excuse the pun). So we went in just before 1pm and was greeted by the happiest woman on the planet (hooray for sarcasm). My wife placed her order for herself and our son. I was up, im a tea drinker and thought I’d give a blended coffee a try. I asked about a blended coffee and was looked at like I had a penis growing out of my face. A few minutes later our drinks came out. Blended lemonade for our son? Not what I asked for, but a 4 year old doesn’t care. My drink was alright I guess, it was a mixture of roasted coffee beans, ice, and hatred. I tipped a dollar and ended up turning the wrong way out of the place. What did I do to lift my spirits? Cruised by the house that was on fire yesterday because there was certainly more love between the firefighters and that meth lab than there was this woman and her job.
1 star for a peachy attitude.

I really like this place. A large menu for drinks and food. They seem to always have sort of special for the day. The service is great. They remembered me after my second time there and are just really nice. The coffee itself is pretty good and they make the chai well too.

Great service here and solid coffee. My wife likes their white chocolate mocha better than Sbux. Baristas are always friendly and with a smile — my daily grind!

We just moved to Mill Creek a few months ago, and this coffee stand is the closest and most convenient. I have been there twice, and unfortunately, will not be back. I’ve had way better coffee, and my 5 year old son didn’t even want to finish his hot chocolate. The baristas were eh. I’ve received better service from Starbucks. I sat in line for over 3 min — AFTER the man in front of me had received his coffee and had paid– while BOTH baristas continued laughing and chatting him up (I wasn’t the only car waiting during the morning commute, and yes, they did see me). He left them a tip in their tip jar so I suppose their flirting paid off, but they lost a customer here.

I didn’t care for the taste of the coffee. I felt it was bitter. Not really worth it to me!

EEWWW! Gross! The first time I went there, it was great. Then things went down hill. This coffee stand is just up the street from my house so I thought, «Great there’s a cool coffee stand right by my house.»
The second time I went there, the girl was very nice. But she proceeded to show us her hives. Not exactly what I want to see from someone I know is preparing my food and/​or beverage. And I realize that hives aren’t contagious but still.
The next time I went there there it was 7 am on a Saturday. Obviously, not all that busy. The barista said 3 things to me, «What can I get you?», «Want a straw?» and «The total is…». The rest of the time she talked, in a super gossipy fashion, about a time off request to the other barista. I was the one that said good morning. I waited a few minutes for her to at least acknowledge me. I mean it’s 7 am on a Saturday, I was probably the only customer in a 15 minute period, the least she could do is put her conversation with her friend on hold and talk with me.
All in all the coffee is ok, the building looks very nice, but the baristas may need a little more training.
