I stopped by 5 Stones Coffee to get a coffee before taking the bus at the transit center and I definitely enjoyed the experience. My latte was excellently made. The staff is really friendly, they are not just being polite but you can tell they enjoy making coffee for people. The atmosphere is social and relaxing, there are tables both inside and outside the shop.

Good coffee. Nice and friendly service. Limited seating but they are doing the best they can. 🙈 forgot to take a picture of my latte until it’s almost gone 😅

They have pumpkin lattés that have actual pumpkin!!! The cookie in the photo is gluten free.

Black Scottie Chai, Mint or original flavor, dirty or regular, this place makes it best.

Ordered Cafe Stefano. Too sweet for me. Avocado toast was alright, basic but expensive. I sat outside because there was limited seating. They brought the toast to me but asked to pick up the coffee from the bar inside, by myself. Now do I leave my toast and bag outside while I go pick up the coffee? Or do I carry them all inside and come out again? Coffee was ready few minutes after toast was brought to me. I wouldve been fine to pick up both of them myself AT THE SAME TIME.

Will try their pour over againThe missile is a bit too sweet tho

Small and wonderful cafe! Service was friendly and fast. I ordered a chai latte as a pick-me-up after work and it was delicious. The food is pretty good as well, love their toasts. A little pricey, but honestly normal prices for a cafe in the Seattle area.

Super cute coffee shop. New to town so checking out the area. Will definitely be back again. Tried the cold brew special and it was good. The kids hot coco is also delish 😉

We went there for a coffee and it offers an amazing mocha

Great coffee, first time here but we will come back again for sure.I have visited several times since my first visit and this is for sure the best coffee in Redmond and one of the best in the area. Top three for sure. Atmosphere is really nice too

Coffee means different things to different people. 5 Stones is perfect for people who like the idea of coffee more than actually enjoying the complex flavors you can get from a good cup of coffee. I have had the same single origin bean flavor from dozens of other places throughout the Pacific NW. You get what you would expect. Coffee. Its functional.Pastries were basic fare. Tried 4 different items and all were pretty good. Definitely better the earlier you arrive.

Always a great place to stop for coffee! I love ordering online and having the drinks ready when I arrive.

Stopped by there from my friends recommendation. We had cardamom honey latte and Smore bar.Good drink, tasty snack and friendlyservice. A tiny shop but cozy. I want to go back and try their other menu.

Favorite local coffee shop in the area! My go-tos are the cafe Stefano or a seasonal latte. :) Been loving them for years! 🖤Not ideal for those who prefer super sugary drinks like the ones at Starbucks or Dutch Bros- they have quality espresso here that is actually worth tasting. 😅

I love this place, but recommended going in the morning and not afternoon especially to get the bakery items. Try cafe Stefano with oat milk.

Fantastic place to work out of on a week day if youre wanting to get out of you home and have a change of scenery. The staff is nice and the coffee is great! Although I primarily use my hotspot, WiFi is available here as well.

Just discovered this gem on a trip to Redmond. Everyone is incredibly nice and accommodating, VERY different from a lot of coffee shops in Seattle! Got free coupons for barely waiting more than 10 minutes for a forgotten pastry...also delicious coffee! Hats off to the staff, thanks guys!

Great place for coffee in east seattle. I am a regular customer and i love it. they have been consistent and offers great coffe and breakfast

Its alright,but needs improvement. Good atmosphere,Good coffee,strong Wi-fi. Only problem is no plug in for your laptop and the bathroom is broken. Will visit later to see if things improve to change my rating.

Will miss this coffee shop. Pre pandemic, I would go here to read and have coffee. It was my form of self care. It’s a bit harder to do now that Redmond has grown a lot and there’s less space with social distancing. This is still the best coffee I’ve ever had. I will miss it!

Their toast is to DIE for! Their coffee is also very unique and really good. I’ve never tried their pastries but they look really good and they always sell out of them! I love the atmosphere here and always come to study and/or catch up with friends :)

Wonderful coffee from wonderful people. Their baked goods are a great treat and their service is amazing. Right around the corner from the bus station, a stones toss from the park.

Cute coffee shop! Great local spot

Great coffee! Delicious harvest bread! Very nice staff! I love coming here for a nice morning or afternoon break

5 Stones is a great local coffee spot - the best in Redmond. They’re walk up service during the start of the pandemic was a great way to stay caffeinated and they’ve done an equally great job adhering to cdc guidelines on re-opening. I’ve read recent reviews and complaints about non-compliance from the 5 stones team and can’t say that I agree. Seems just as safe as any other brick & mortar shops I’ve been to that are also following the rulesLove the seasonal drink offerings and the pastries are next level. It’s always a pleasure to swing through 5 Stones.

Nice coffee but the food falls flat...the toast, though, isnt really that great. The toast (we got Nutella) is only $5, but it is pretty much what you would do at home by toasting bread with Nutella.

Just stopped in here the other day for a quick Italiano .. and to pickup a bag of coffee. It’s just always solid here. Consistent place to make your local shop. Grateful it’s so close by.

Fun and unique pastry selection. Solid lattes. Over priced bagged coffee.

The meals we had were beautifully prepared and truly delicious.

Good place to get your joe to go. Friendly, well priced.

Super chill place. Good coffee and people.

Great coffee, good vibes. Try out their Cade Stefano for sure.

Busy place but makes great coffee and baked goods.

Top notch food,wine and certainly the best ambience in the city.

Seem to have a hard time keeping up on the espresso machine if there is any sort of rush. Expect to wait for a while. 15 mins for a cappuccino and was still couple drinks away. They refunded my coffee. Waste of time unfortunately.

The staff present today was awesome!

Coffee was nice.I asked for an extra hot coffee but just got handed a regular temp coffee. I was in a rush so couldnt wait for it to be corrected either.

Very friendly staff and quick service. The brownie I got was amazing but the mocha bacio was a little cold.

Nice place to get a coffee unlike those big chains

My favorite coffee place on Eastside 😍

Delicious coffee and awesome selection for beans to brew at home.

These guys were great! There was a little bit of a wait because of a few orders before me, but the baristas were super friendly and courteous. A couple minutes after I ordered, a barista came over to apologize about the wait and offered a “buy one, get one” coupon. It’s really easy to be patient when it’s clear that employees are doing their best to ensure everyone’s order is done well instead of rushing and making mistakes.My Ethiopian pourover was great, and the atmosphere is really comfortable for conversation or working. You can expect: mostly bench or bar seating, a robust craft coffee menu, retail for making good coffee at home, and Onyx coffee.

I ordered mocha with Nutella (which is basically dark mocha with hazelnut syrup). The taste was really good.I went there on a Saturday. The parking was ok - maybe I was lucky. But there’s not many parking spots available on the street. The place was very busy, not many tables near power outlet available. The staff were nice.It’s good for working if not much concentration is needed.

Just visited for the first time. Great little coffee shop with AWESOME coffee! Cool place, great people, fun environment

Good coffee, and snacks. The staff were very friendly. They did give my partner and I the wrong items/sold them to someone else(last one) but they quicky refunded me. Thanks all!

People are friendly and attentive. Coffees and pastries are delicious!

Love this coffee shop!! The employees are always welcoming and seem to really enjoy their job, which is always so nice to see. The employees are all masked and seating is open, though only at 50% capacity.I’ve tried three different drinks and all have been wonderful! Even during these hard times, they find ways to cultivate community and continue to serve great drinks and food. ❤️

5 stones is my favorite coffee shop hands down. I don’t even live in Redmond and drive out of my way frequently just to get coffee there. It’s also my go to coffee place to bring any friends or family visiting the area. Any of their specialty drinks are amazing, but especially their Cafe Stefano...it’s life changing. They also have a great selection of unique teas including my favorite coconut vanilla black tea. The staff is always super friendly and helpful, plus the owners are frequently there and couldn’t be nicer people. Now as I’m typing this I’m craving a Cafe Stefano, and am going to make my husband drive me there now :)

It was my friends birthday and we are from AZ. We chose this place based on the ratings and it was amazing. Cocktails were spot on and timely. Steaks were all cooked to accurate Temps in a group of 11 except for one. We all concurred that the filet and the pepper steak were the best. Scalloped potatoes were delicious and if you can last to the end the cheesecake Carmel dish was ridiculous good. Ave price wine list.

I wanted to find a small coffee shop near my haircut to sit and read for a bit. This place delivered exactly what I was looking for. I got the Cafe Stefano and it was insanely delicious. I loved the little bit of orange flavor 😻. The place was crowded but I found a window seat and enjoyed my book and coffee for an hour uninterrupted. Parking is hard because... Redmond but I got lucky with a spot right in front. Its a cute place to enjoy a cuppa.

Friendly staff. Great coffee.

Delicious pastries and their signature coffees are amazing. (People seem very happy with their toasts, but I havent tried those yet.) I particularly like their Cafe Stefano and filled cruffins, but their biscuits with cinnamon butter is comfort food at its finest.

Fantastic place to enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Try also their pastries, they are delicious.

Love this coffee spot. They serve great specialty coffee. Lots of care and love goes into making delightful coffee for people to enjoy. It’s a step above most coffee places. If you catch it when it’s not too busy it’s great to read and write or on the busier times you might want to consider a cup to go. Friendly knowledgeable staff and great coffee. I had the Kent filter this trip.

Wow. Five Stones Coffee is really good. I wanted to treat myself today and this did it. Cafe Stefano with espresso, vanilla, hazelnut, cinnamon, and orange with a honey frosted cinnamon roll. #treatyoselftuesday

I am addicted to this place... It is awesome, though always busy. My daughter loves their avocado toast, but I stop in for their Greek bowl multiple times a week. My visit frequency is starting to get a little embarrassing!!

Can’t get enough of this place! We loved going before the world flipped upside down, but love it even more now!!They are a bright spot in a crazy world! They go ABOVE and beyond to make sure everyone is safe AND they are constantly finding ways to serve the local community.We have seen people wait outside to get their amazing coffee because the shop is making sure to follow all state COVID registrations. The shop is keeping people safe even when it means a negative impact on their business.5 stones is a beautiful reminder to be kind and have grace for each other during this time!Thanks for going above and beyond!

I love this place!!! the staff is SO friendly, warm, and welcoming. and they also serve amazing coffee. they take their time with each cup they make and you can really tell! also, they’re trying the absolute best they can to keep up with COVID guidelines which i know is so hard these days. i definitely recommend supporting this small business during hard times like these, they are trying the best they can to abide by the governor’s rules and are doing a great job! i always feel safe when in here :)

My experience at Five Stones Coffee Co was amazing. The people are so beyond nice, the barista who made my coffee her name is Sydney and she was the absolute nicest lady. Not only was she the nicest, she made me the best coffee ever! Ten out of ten would recommend to everyone- beautiful coffee shop, amazing coffee, and fantastic employees.

This coffee shop is amazing! The staff are super cautious on what they are touching, how they are wearing masks, and just overall friendly!They are following CDC guidelines by closing off every other table, requiring masks when not at your table, and directing foot traffic.On top of that, the food and drinks are phenomenal. The avocado toast does NOT skimp on the avocado, the helping is more then generous and their signature drinks are outstanding.Weekends are busy so you often cannot find a spot since they work hard to keep it at 50% capacity at all times! I’m a registered nurse and felt that they were doing a great job keeping their employees and community safe!

Coffee was insanely good and priced fairly. Will definitely be back!

Cappuccino Fredo on a sunny day is 👌👌👌Also dont miss out on their cronuts! And make sure you get them warmed up :)

The drip that day was better than pour over. 😅

I will come back here every time

Love this place. Good mochas and iced lattes

Very happy and thankful this coffee shop has been able to survive through the pandemic. I go here at least once a week, and while maskless indoor seating is available, Ive never felt uncomfortable in the store while waiting for my takeout drinks, and Im a whole-hearted believer in masks and social distancing and such. People are spaced out, and you can always wait outside on the patio area for your drink. Times are definitely tough for smaller businesses, and Ill happily continue to support this one! (If you dont like how theyre following state guidelines, find another place to go, save some of your money, donate it to a charity, or make your own coffee at home!) But I do still highly recommend this spot for a great cup of coffee and/or a tasty pastry :)

My favorite coffee shop in Redmond. The coffee is smooth, silky, oily, flavorful. Its neither burnt not bitter. Pastries are also really good too.

Love the Cafe Stefano signature drink! This is my go to coffee place

Good coffee and new age atmosphere, wonderful toasts and very friendly staff

Great coffee and delicious pastries. Always crowded and can get really noisy though. Parking is hard, but walking in Redmond is fun anyway.

This is one of my favorite coffee spots in the area. Honestly, some of the best coffee and atmosphere around. They have adjusted to the ever changing swings of covid like champs. This is a very busy shop, so be warned when you go that I can feel busy or crowded, but they are doing everything to keep you and others safe. They just have a big following and are loved by many, and that’s how you know this place is good. There is a great outdoor seating area as well, which is always a wonderful treat on a non rainy day in the seattle area, especially in fall. They also have one of the only pumpkin lattes without dairy in the area, so keep that in mind if you are vegan or dairy sensitive. Give this place a try next time you are in Redmond, you won’t regret it.

Great third wave coffee shop.

Service was awesome and so was the food and coffee!

Little spends but overall good stuff

Have been coming here forever. Great coffee. Perfect roast. Could be milky at times, but then thats what I like about it. Food is limited on weekdays, but the avo toast and croissants are good. I dont have a sweet tooth and havent tried their sweeter baked goods. Biscuits (crispy) and gravy, on the weekends is a must try, if your idea of a weekend breakfast brunch is something rich and savory.

Try the signatures!! All coffees are great!

Been a longtime customer of Five Stones. Fantastic environment and incredible coffee and food, but the best part is the impeccable service and friendly atmosphere. Employees here care about their customers and go above and beyond! Cannot say enough good things about this place.

Best pastries—tastes like real Europe. Particularly the croissant made in the waffle iron. Insane texture and taste.

My friend and I came here last weekend and we really enjoyed it. Because our experience was so good with their service, staff, and food preparation and presentation

Hands down one of the best cafes in the entire Eastside area. I do not take coffee and customer service lightly, and these folks are so purposefully in everything they do to provide an excellent service, every single time. They have been extremely careful to respect CDC guidelines and take initiative to constantly make sure regulations are maintained.Fantastic coffee, delicious food options, and one of the most welcoming staff teams I have ever met! Always and forever a supporter of the Five Stones fam. Y’all are amazing!

No parking and no gluten free options. Went in around noon on a Saturday, was very loud and busy. Lots of family’s with kids and an overall good environment but maybe a little overwhelming for some. Ordered and iced espresso, was ready in 4min or so. Espresso is in my opinion medium roast, sour and bright with a slight bitter aftertaste. I personally like smoother less acidic espresso but this is very good and is the best coffee I’ve found in this area.

This is my all time favorite coffee shop in Redmond. Not only do they have great coffee, they also have a yummy weekend menu, and great seasonal drinks and food items. Keep up the good work!

Decent coffee shop for the area. The shot for my gilbratar was pulled a little too early leading to a weak, dull, bitter coffee instead of a bright tart cup.

One of my favorite places in Redmond for coffee because theyre super friendly and always focused on making your coffee right. Favorite drink: Cafe Stefano (citrus zest!).

Good coffee. They should have more butter croissants available as they are most of the time out of stock.

If you have not had their cafe stefano and avocado toast you are missing out! Not only do they have amazing coffee and amazing food they always provide amazing service. Even in the midst of everything going on they still manage to make you feel so welcomed when you come by.

Fantastic new discovery! My friends kept recommending this place and finally took me and my was it busy and bustling on the weekend. We ordered the Cafe Stefano hot and iced and they were both delicious. I preferred the iced version since it gave more of a refreshing flavor and the orange zest complimented the coffee flavor really nicely. Seating is limited at this cafe so I wouldnt really suggest it as a working joint unless you like to be right next to people while working. The staff is super helpful and friendly and they have some really nice looking pastries which Ill have to try next time. Coffee here is regularly priced.

I ordered 3 iced stefanos today.They must have either forgotten orange zest at all or put the least amount of it. Tasted very bland. I know how it tastes because I ordered numerous times.(Update) no response from the owner or staffs Don’t mind sending email.

The best coffee in WA, in my opinion!Counter culture beans and the friendliest folks around.The best!

I Loved the coffee here, delicious, but cronut (Half croissants half donut) not so much, too sweet for my taste (sweet dough, sweet filling, sweet top,and sugar covered).

That maple cold brew??? ooooofffffworth booking a flight for

Was impressed with mocha. Tastes rich in flavor and smooth

Best coffee shop in Redmond! Staff is so nice and even when they’re busy, they get the drinks out quick. Super clean and cute 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Can’t believe I’ve never reviewed 5 Stones on here but this is thee best coffee out there. As you’ll see it’s not just the customer service but the coffee is the best you can get. To me 5 Stones and Coffeeholic out in Columbia City are my favs. Easily best coffee places in Seattle. Make sure you get a Cafe Stefano and tell them Sam sent you 😜 lol

Great coffee, friendly people. Easy pre-ordering with the app.

9 employees.Burnt esspresso.Couldnt tell when our drinks were coming because the staff leaving for the day were being fed shots of espresso before they left in front of the machine.10 bucks for 1 incorrect of 2 drinks and burnt esspresso. That took way to long to make.For 9 employees being there I would ha e hoped to have better service.Bunch of young folks chatting with each other.

Brownies are good. $8 for a piece of toast with a generous amount of guacamole. But $8 none the less for a piece of toast. They dont have blended drinks, which is crazy to me. I have never been to a coffee joint and couldnt get a blended drink.In my opinion, it feels like their target market is pretentious people, and people who think being pretentious is cute.The food quality is there. Its expensive for a cafe, but you wont feel like you just ate some trash.

Been 4-5 times.1. Hard to find parking spots since it’s next to roadway.2. Not spacious inside the coffee shop so avoid busy hours ( around 30 seating capacity)3. During busy hours, queue line goes outside of the coffee shop but worth it.4. Staff are super friendly and helpful.5. Well maintained6. I like coffee here but not cheap almost equal prices to Starbucks.7. They have some chairs to sit outside if you have a dog.I would definitely recommend this place if you live close by. :)

Amazing coffee and atmosphere, had iced Nutella coffee

Keep in mind that these guys allow maskless full indoor seatingEDIT: Owners reply says they operate at 50% capacity. They were packed to the walls. Come on guys, just tell the truth and dont be Redmonds next cluster spot.
