Not the most consistent in terms of quality, but the staff are good and for a college coffee shop its definitely not bad at all. I go here frequently.

If you find yourself on the Whitworth campus this is the place to grab a quick, fair trade, quality coffee. Usually busy with students during term time, but also great for just sitting and working during the summer. Solid guest Internet access supplied by the University.

Good quality coffee, but the staff can be slightly rude sometimes. But generally good priced food and coffee.

The coffee is pretty good (just not amazing), and the atmosphere is wonderful with a great living room feeling, including a comfy couch in front of a very warm fireplace. Warning: they don't have nonfat milk, but their oat milk is a worthy substitute.
