    Every one has a right to their own opinipn. But I truly struggle with the negative review found on this review board . Is the customer always right?. No! But he/she is. always the customer. I must.question the credibility of this review. For two reasons and please note, I have never been employed at this establishment, personally I know no one affiliated with this business. But I know my coffee! I moved from a state (Texas) where strangers are quick to chat and the Hello's are quick to come. I appreciate Nisqually Express, I found the staff always quick to smile, and very welcoming .Kind of feels like home. I'm a coffee buff as such I am very picky. Its the quality of the Nisqually products that keep me coming back. It's the smiles and Hello's that have me glad I did. I strongly encourage every coffee drinker to give Nisqually Express a try. You be the judge. This is a business that has and. is doing very well. Suffice it to say; the majority of that business is repeat business . What draws repeat business? Only ONE thing: S A T I S F I E D. C U S T O M E R S!:

    The lotus taste like water with food dye, all I heard was employees trash customers, and they’re always short staffed so plan on waiting an eternity. I also don’t know if I can blame employees, they seem burnt and over worked. They also never have both lanes open. You’re better off skipping this place and going somewhere that can actually make a simple drink. It really makes no sense how everyone is so unhappy and rude there. One line, 3 people inside. How are you stressed? It’s really making me question management.

    My new, favorite coffee shop! They dont carry my particular flavor of ELF bar, but still purchased another flavor of ELF bar and drinks for our car (kids and adults). The drinks are delicious, and great prices!

    They have the BEST lotus drink, trust me, I have tried others when they were closed ( Sophia, Lexi, Gavin)! High turnover rate, discount cigarettes and more. if you see long lines, don’t pass. They move fast! The employees that last are genuinely kind people, will go out of their way to make things the way you like!

    Just started getting coffee here and absolutely delighted, especially since it’s so close to our home. All the staff is extremely polite and kind. Super happy to find out there’s even the rewards program we signed up for. Very pleased!!

    I wish they would sell the coffee only on one side. Frustrating when you have to wait longer because the person in front of you buys a beverage.

    Just a nice place to stop and get fuel for your truck or care and food for you. Great customer service and very clean

    Caramel frappe tasted like old burnt coffee... but the cigarette prices are what I come here for normally. Staff are really nice.

    The people working here are always friendly. The daily specials are a good deal as well. Be sure to tip your baristas

    I only get tobacco there and they gave my doggy a pup cup, awesome service!

  • 2/5 Steven R. 6 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    The Lines were too long. I almost ran out of gas waiting on this place. I'll give it 2 stars because they have the cheapest cigarettes in the thirsty county area.

  • 5/5 Alexis M. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Great experience and prices. Staff was super friendly and the frapp was awesome. I wish I lived closer !

    I always get friendly service here with smiles and puppy treats. Slobber-monster dogs in my car love this place too - they get excited when I take the Nisqually exit now. Been visiting once per week for about a year now. A+

  • 1/5 Eileene G. 1 year ago on Google
    Every week I come out here because I have to pick up my grandson and at 5:00pm they are closed. The website said they are open until 7 but they are not. They might make some money if they stayed open. Was going to get a carton of cigarettes sorry your loss.

  • 1/5 Isabel Y. 10 months ago on Google
    Rude . And I’ve used my points here to get my red Bulls for years now, and when I say years I mean since I was a teenager. But today I went in to get my Red Bull and they told me that they could not use my points towards my Redbull for my free drink. That they “never did” so stupid, why would anybody save up their points to get a drink for free and then be told what they have to get to drink. Never coming back again until that lady that manages this place leaves. She literally is so rude, didn’t even bother to look into my account to see that that was true, and no one is ever going to tell me what to do with my time. keep your Red Bull.

    I absolutely love this smoke shop but not only is this place a smoke shop, the experiance there muah achefs kiss lol ....the employees are awesome and the coffee is to die for and like the only place ever I have been able to get a 32oz frappe.. I believe they do 32 oz hot, iced and blended coffees as well but I've only ever had the frappe tho... They always have my favorite brand of smokes and they always take the Marlboro coupons. Love Me Some Nisqually Express!!!

  • 3/5 Kelsey S. 1 year ago on Google
    Even if you're very clear and even if they repeat it back to you, you've got a 50/50 shot at getting the right order. People are always kind though

  • 5/5 Tony C. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly staff and I enjoy stopping by there to get my dip.

  • 1/5 Aaron D. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to deal with some fat native karen that obviously hates white people. All I said was "the hours online are wrong. Could someone change the hours to the correct time your actually open?" Ive driven out of my way to find out there closed when this site says there open. Sick of the $hitty attitude people have for no reason.

  • 5/5 Kendra M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place! The employees are always so friendly and helpful. The prices are great too.

  • 4/5 Chelsea B. 1 year ago on Google
    I am a barista of 20+ years..I know that if you're ever unsure about what to try at a new espresso stop, it's usually safe to go with a good ol' White Chocolate Frappuccino. But the frappe was probably the worst I've had. And I can tell you why...TOOOOOO MUCH FRAPP POWDER AND WHITE CHOCOLATE 🤮🥴 my sons 9 and he said Heck Nope Momma, way too sweet. As for the rest of the menu..I bet its wonderful in every way. I love and respect this market period. Everything is always amazing. But I gotta call out that blended I ordered. Its not only an unnecessary waste of product...but cuts profits amd doesnt ensure a return customer in most cases. Ill definitely stop in and try the espresso as my normal go to. But no NOPE on those frapps _🙏

  • 5/5 Raychel S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was our first time being here today. The staff is super friendly and extremely helpful. They have so much patience and I absolutely love that about them.

  • 1/5 TauVery P. 1 year ago on Google
    Thoroughly disappointed. After hiking for three hours at Billy Frank Jr wild life reserve, I wanted an iced coffee. I had two orders, 2 24oz iced coffees with flavors.. the man working could not understand what I was asking. He messed up both orders, and somehow, the iced coffees were hot! 🤨 I definitely will not be coming back for coffee.
