Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters

When I went to the tasting room desperate to buy some coffee for the next morning, and found it closed, the owner invited me in the back door and gave me the type of beans I wanted. He was so nice. This was so unexpected.

I ordered my favorite drink here: Carmel / Coconut Breve on Ice. I have never had a worse drink than I did at Batdorf & Bronson. The coffee shots they poured in were from a jug of old coffee (or flavoring?). My drink may not be a connoisseu...

I ordered my favorite drink here: Carmel / Coconut Breve on Ice. I have never had a worse drink than I did at Batdorf & Bronson. The coffee shots they poured in were from a jug of old coffee (or flavoring?). My drink may not be a connoisseur's choice, but I still appreciate a good, fresh shot of espresso.
Several days later I went to a drive through stand in Napavine. I watched her do the SAME THING with the OLD COFFEE shots. It made sense when the cup she handed me had the Batdorf & Bronson logo on it.
The interior decorating at the capital way location was very pleasant.

The coffee was TERRIBLE

The price was as high or higher than Starbucks

I rarely ever write negative reviews and I'm not the kind of person who demands my money back or complains.....but for a $5.00 drink I expect the coffee to be fresh and delicious.
