Northern Espresso

I wasn't going to let it bug me. But it still does. The last time I visited this stand was in November 2019.I ordered a tall americano with cream. But this price I was charged confused me. Do I asked the barista why it seems like it cost so much? She explained that the sugary beverage tax was going into affect in 2020 and they're getting a head start on it. First of all. A head start? Really?Secondly. This is coffee not a soda (I was told coffee fall under the tax) Third of all. I can't find anyone else charging this tax outside of Seattle City Limits.This website breaks down taxes for Bothellhttp://www.salestaxstates.com/sales-tax-calculator-washington-bothellIf I'm not understanding this clearly, I apologize. Other wise this is stealing. Should I call the city? It's only some change, but that's not the point. What would you do?

Located in the Chevron parking lot, Northern Espresso has been established for a few years now and is a solid option for drive-thru coffee stands in the area (and one of the few left on this strip with the huge 522 construction project going on..as well as one of the few that is not "titty coffee")Reasonable prices, standard array of extra treats, daily happy hours (all drinks $3) and relatively easy access.

This place is great! My wife and I stop by once or twice a month on the weekends. The staff is friendly and they do an excellent job with our beverages.

Best coffee stand in Bothell! The owner is so nice and personable. The coffee is amazing. Every drink I get is great! I come here a few times a week, worth it every time!

This was my favorite place when I was in high school and they consistently make a delicious drink for me every time I am in the area. Only thing that has changed is the prices sadly but gotta love the toddy shots

Very nice coffee stand. The coffee is really good and freshly ground. There is a large variety of flavors. Food is also available. I need to mention the great prices and the friendly staff! Great job Northern Espresso!

Nice drive-thru coffee place in Bothell near a gas station. I was a bit apprehensive at first because a lot of the drive-thru places I've been to in the greater Seattle area use an instant coffee mix. But everything was made fresh with a machine. They have tried and true things like lattes and mochas but also have fun drinks like almond joy.

Stopped by today to get 3 coffees, first time here, Cute stand, service was not so good. The sign said the barista was Erica, (10;45 am ) she was very unfriendly, actually rude! I get that sometimes people have bad days, but leave it at home. I still tipped 1$ , for 3 drinks I usually tip 5 $ but today I could not justify 5$ for her rude service, She even shut her window loud before I even pulled out. ( I would say slam but then again it was not me closing that window without even a thank you ) Hope her attitude changes.

I've been here twice, same barista and she is very consistent, pulls good shots and flavor is appropriate for the size drink. I will be going back for sure.

Thinking of coming here? Do it! I was searching for a quick coffee stop on this classic rainy day and glad I found this one (on yelp). I got an americano and it was so bomb. The barista was super friendly and also offered me a few ice cubes to go into my just-black drink with the warning that if not -- it would be insanely hot. With the ice cubes it was perfect and great quality. And I'm a bit of a coffee snob too. Bonus points it's in the parking lot with the gas station If you and your car both need fuel at the same time. I also got a blueberry scone, it was really good If you're into sweet scones! Great pricing too! With my order and tip it was still cheaper than going to starbucks. I got a punch card and will definitely be back!
