Mukilteo Coffee Roasters & Mercantile: A Hidden Gem for Gourmet Coffee and Delightful Eats

If I was ranking the food or atmosphere only it would be 5 stars. Great food unfortunately does not equal great service. Overall I have to rank them at 3 stars. You order at a counter where before any service is provided you pay and are expected to give a tip. I enjoy tipping well for good service, but good service is not waiting in line to order, getting your own drinks, getting your own silverware, cleaning up the table after you eat and the expectation you will scrape your own plates. While the staff was friendly, our only interaction with them was the lady who took our order at the counter and the one who brought our food. Expect to pay medium to high price for the food which is well worth the cost. There were 5 of us in my group and not one complaint on the quality or content of the food.

Amazing, but should be a guarded secret. Thankfully off the beaten track so not overrun with tourists. Superior and innovative coffee drinks which is a difficult accomplishment in this competitive market. Beautiful spaces and clear attention to detail that shows top-end expertise in customer experience. A brief encounter with a roast employee and a peek behind the scenes shows a group of employees who genuinely enjoy their job and play at it. The joy comes out in the beans.

Our AirBNB host (Blue Heron in Mukilteo - highly recommend!) provided daily coffee (Happy Hippie blend) from Mukilteo Coffee Roasters, which was wonderful. During a day trip to Whidbey Island, we visited their facility and the clerk was very knowledgeable and suggested several other several varieties for us to try as well.

My sister mentioned that she wanted to take me here to fuel up on breakfast for our Geocaching adventure on the island. If you don’t know, this place is NOT on the beaten path. You have to know it’s here to visit, even better to have someone who has accompany you. Kinda like the Isla de Muerta ala Pirates of the Caribbean. I digress. Very Steampunk-y interior which I loved. The eclectic silverware and plates were a unique touch as no two were alike. Now then, on to the food. I had the Bob Porter Monster Breakfast Burrito and washed it down with a cortado. I had a bite or two of my sisters Blue Man Benedict. Couldn’t decide which tasted better! If you’re on the south end of Whidbey Island then you need to start your day here. Period.

The best coffee in Seattle! Lovely garden seating areas. Nice and friendly staff too. Don’t miss this place if you visit Whidbey island.

This is strictly a review of their bagged coffees, as I've never visited the actual location. Their coffees however are AMAZING. I've tried a few varieties, and while I'm definitely not a coffee aficionado, I know a great cup of coffee. Well worth the price, and just wonderful to make any time of day at home or work!

Excellent coffee and food. Charming and inviting restaurant snuggled between old growth trees. Warm friendly interior, and outdoor dining. Plenty of free parking and easy for disabled.
