I came into this cafe as a researcher of the Snoqualmie community. Literally-- doing an ethnographic study and looking for participants. The Bindlestick cafe was awesome. The owner, Rachelle was extremely warm, gracious, genuine, super generous with my being there, opening the cafe like it was her home. I really delighted in meeting her and seeing how charming she was to each person who entered, making personal recommendations like.. "I personally am a huge fan of the fresh spinach" and remembering regular customer's favorite items. This cafe makes me want to live in Snoqualmie.
Review Source:Simply awesome! Such a great low-key place to have a cup of coffee or a beer. In the epicenter of corporate coffee stores, we see fewer of these type places anymore. Great for kids as well, games and books are fun for the entire family. From the tourists to the locals, everyone is friendly and fun to chat with.
Review Source:This is a cute little coffee shop across the street from the Railway Museum. Â This means that it's perfect for warming up before/after running around train tracks looking at trains. Â It also has a small selection of beer and three taps. Â Also, the three taps weren't just standard beers you see everywhere, (IE budweiser, bud light, and red hook) but three really random craft brews. Â Points!!
Review Source:WORST coffee shop ever!
I am used to getting sweet White chocolate mochas on ice and the woman who served me mentioned to me after she makes my drink and it tastes HORRIBLE that she not only hasn't really made them but never even drank one! How are you even a BARISTA?!
I politely asked her to add some white chocolate (which keep in mind in was the powder kind that you are suppose to mix in with the hot shots to melt it), add she only added a tiny little bit.
On top of this I was the only one in there and it was STILL Super slow service...wonder what would happen if a group of people walked in.. ?
I would NOT recommend this establishment to anyone....
:(
Although I frequent many coffee shops/cafes, I'm not really a coffee drinker, per se. Â I usually get iced tea, hot chocolate, or some other coffee alternative. Â Every once in a while I'll get a latte/mocha but still not on a frequent basis. Â Luckily, I was able to stumble upon this small, non-chain coffee shop in Snoqualmie so that I could actually experience a good cup of caffeinated beverage.
The barista at The Bindlestick (pretty cool, original name) was very friendly, helpful, and talented. Â She quickly worked up my order, The Polar Bear: black and white mocha, creme de menthe, and Irish cream. Â Dude, it was a pretty tasty drink. Â The other orders in my party seemed to be equally delicious and it was a unanimous decision that this was one little coffee establishment to be reckoned with. Â
So, here's what I recommend. Â On a nice, sunny day after you check out Snoqualmie Falls nearby, drop by this quaint hole-in-the wall (it is small) and check out their original menu on the blackboard. Â Order up one of those concoctions and enjoy your delicious drink while you stroll along the shops right outside.
And yes, I'll be back!
A the first time i stopped in here i had just started working nights and was grumpy and ready to bite anyone head of to get my crazy picky coffee specially after going to 3 other coffee shops in the area and spending 8bucks on dirt, not only did she make it correctly she helped putt me in a way better mood :-) for abbot half the price i now go in at least every other day to get my picky mocha or even a beer when i need to unwind after work (yes they have a great selection of beers and most of the Batista's are experts on them) i say if our in the area seeing the falls or the trains or a local who's never bin in u should stop in for a hot coffee or sandwich u wont regret it
Review Source:If you are looking for a coffee getaway off the beaten path or a cozy spot to enjoy a cold one, then this is the place. Â I'm always greeted with a smile (and by name). Â The coffee (organic) is delicious and the rotating tap is always surprising. Â Best place in Snoqualmie on a spring or summer's eve because of the outdoor patio. Plus the food is simple, tasty and fits the beverages well.
Review Source:Love love LOVE the bindle stick! Â After having a disgusting white chocolate mocha at the local starbucks, I decided to try the white mocha over at the Bindlestick and I'm officially addicted to how they make there drinks. Â
They have little treats and some gluten free options (for beer and snacks!). Â Sarah and Hilary are super friendly and the place is just very cozy. Â I will never ever go back to char-bucks again!
After a lengthy visit to the nearby taproom, we took in some of the sights in downtown. Â I'd wanted to buy some of those fabled northwest coffee beans to return home, and so we found ourselves at The Bindlestick. Â As it turns out, they didn't have any beans to sell, but that was where the disappointments ended. Â
No, instead of some magic beans we discovered the place was a dual threat: a coffeehouse with two expertly-selected beer taps and a fridge full of craft brew. Â While we nursed a fresh set of pints, knowledgeable and thoroughly cool beerista Sarah gave us extensive information about the best in nearby watering holes.
Coffee, eventually sampled later, was equally well-sourced and expertly prepared. Â The pastries, locally supplied, were excellent. Â Between the beer, the coffee, the terrific service and the live entertainment, I can say with certainty that if I were a local, I'd be hanging out here a lot.
I can't say that I'm a regular here or ever will be but my son has an obsession with trains and I always make him go here after we visit the Train museum. Â I also have a deep need to support very small local businesses whenever possible.
So I liked the place just fine under the previous owner. Â What the new place keeps is good espresso and a small selection of good baked treats.
What she's added, and warms the heart of this beer nerd, is a cooler full of very nice beers. Â Since the chance of getting a good beer that wasn't brewed by Snoqualmie Brewing in these parts was previously zero, that's great! Â
I'm not often here during beer drinking hours but I love that it's an option and I think we'll make a specific trip some late afternoon soon. Â The selection really is that good.
