“ Cute little coffee shop with great atmosphere and friendly staff. They literally have a goat as part of the staff, hence the name of the place. I had almond coffee and it was great! Next time I sure will try their pastries and desserts, as I had to drool by looking at others Great place to come alone, casual meetings or with family. ”
“ Great specialty coffee and delicious made-to-order food. While Butters and his new goat friend bring in folks from all over, this shop is renowned for its strong bond with its local regulars. If you come in frequently, you're bound to make friends with one of the welcoming baristas. ”
“ The original of 3 locations, they roast the coffee on site. The drive into lake way is beautiful. Very friendly staff, attention to detail and lovely atmosphere. The new deck outside offers a lot of seating and shade. Great spot to relax or get some work done. Butters the goat is out around noon everyday he was in a pen. They canned cold brew for me fresh on the spot. There’s about 15 parking spots but seems like enough for the area. If you live in the area this will be your new favorite local coffee shop. ”
“ We enjoyed delicious beverages while visiting with each other. I mistakenly ordered a hot latte and the staff offered to make it iced for me. They were very accommodating. ”
“ This coffee shop stands out with its spacious outdoor setting, away from busy shopping plazas and commercial areas, giving it a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The indoor space is small, but the large open-air seating area makes it a perfect spot to relax. The coffee is excellent, and the menu includes light salads, snacks, and great breakfast and brunch options. The setup feels different from typical coffee shops, offering a more laid-back and refreshing experience. While I’m generally against zoos and keeping animals in captivity, this place has a small enclosed area where goats roam freely, adding to the overall charm without feeling forced. With its relaxed ambiance, great food, and open space, this coffee shop offers something unique. A great spot for a quiet break and a quality cup of coffee. ”

“ Had a nice lavender honey latte here and the standard cup was the perfect suze. Was hoping to see the mascot but still left with a great latte. Latte was similar quality to some better coffee shops I’ve had in the PNW. Would come here again ”
