“Finally got to try this! We tried one of each musubi, as well as one coffee and one red bull drink. The last who attended is was super sweet and friendly & everything was delicious. I loved the bacon avocado the most and my spouse loves the spicy tuna. I don't know what kind of sauce came with that spicy tuna but it is amazing. The drinks were too but I don't know if I can order drinks next time. This is drive through *only* and it's really the drinks that delay the drive through as the musubis are already made and it makes me uncomfortable to slow it down.I think the one thing I really don't like is the drive through situation. Only maybe 4-6 cars fit into the area and the rest need to stay out in the street, in the suicide lane waiting for a spot which just gets me all antsy as someone could easily/accidentally cut in front. Also if you are not in a car, are you supposed to stand in the street? Doesn't seem safe.I would think it would be best to have the line snake through the parking lot. OR maybe place an order, get a ticket, wait in car, and have it brought out for drink orders, but they need more than one worker for that. OR maybe a walk-up only would be the best option, so have people park and then they form a line in person. Any of those would mean no one is in the street.Basically the food and the service are amazing, but really wish they could work with the way their setup works.“
“Why would anyone go for chain coffee places when gems like Bay Street exist? If you like perfectly roasted beans, a ton of syrups, alternative milks, friendly people at any time of day, come try this place. They also sell those perfectly roasted beans per pound. They also have snacks, but I only go for the coffee and the service. One of their baristas is a SODA and signs fluently. 10/10 every time.Dietary restrictions: They have alt milks- almond, oat, soy and coconut!“
“My wife and i go here at least once a week for mango nadas, coffee, bubble tea and sushiritos. They have local artwork displayed which i think adds to the atmosphere. Friendly service. Although wait time can be a bit long but worth the wait. Id recommend this place to anybody that likes a good meal and drinks for a fair price!“
“This is my favorite coffee stand of all time. The employees are welcoming, friendly, familiar, and full of PNW spirit. I don't get to stop by nearly as often as I want, but every time I do is a great experience. The coffee itself and their drinks in general are just as excellent as their service. The only downside... the bees in the summer, but hey, they like the smell just as much as we do, so who can really blame them, and the team does a good job of keeping their mischief managed.“
“I can not say enough good thing about Smokin' Robinsons. That food is exactly what I expected. GREAT!! I ordered food for a Christmas party for 50 people. No one was disappointed. They raved about the food and ask to take the rest home. I have never had caterer that was that good before that the attendees wanted to take home the left over food. Thanks“
“Yes! Yes! Yes! From friendly service to perfect drinks and fulfilling breakfast in density and flavor. We opted to go inside the cafe to order our take out breakfast versus the drive thru. Seems like they may be working on the interior a bit, but it wasn't distracting. They have a little corner with books and toys for the kiddos, and highchairs.We were immediately greeted by a gal in the back. She kindly offered her recommendations when asked and was helpful in explaining ingredients and flavors. We ordered the $14 BB Burrito; eggs, bacon and cheddar - no skimping on this fatty breakfast burrito! Also got the $3.50 single slice avocado toast and added hard boiled eggs for an extra $1.50, def worth it. Don't be fooled by its appearance, so much flavor and deliciousness! The single slice was perfect for me, I loved the garlic, salt and pepper seasonings and sourdough.Aside from the traditional coffee drinks, they have smoothies and blenders. We got the Mango smoothie, smallest size is 16oz. Vanilla Chai tea latte with almond milk, so much yum!So glad we ventured 7 minutes off our route to check Hot Java Cafe out!Parking: Small private parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Cafe has kid corner and toys to help occupy the wee ones. They also have highchairs available.“
