Inexpensive and made to order. Friendly but not fake people who like you not only for your business but remember you if you frequent there alot. You can walk up or drive up... I opt for the second one cause there is always a line when I go. They have kid friendly non caffiene specialities and always greet you with a smile. The best of the best.... sorry star*****. maybe a little less cost and more customer service is what everyone needs to brighten their day.

When my co-worker recently announced, "I'm never going to Starbucks again," (a pledge which wore off when his sister gifted him a drink-enabling stored value card), we had to find a place to get properly made, inexpensive Americano drinks. Luckily for us, Jitters (on Factoria Blvd in Bellevue - other locations as well) fills the bill nicely. The cheerful associates didn't mind when we pulled up to the drive-through window on foot, and promptly made the required drink (with Splenda added) in almost no time flat. Total cost? Not much. Tall Americanos go for under $2 there, which is much better than you can say for almost any hot drink at your local global coffee conglomerate. Add to the cheap cost the ability to speak to a human who doesn't spout rote cheerfulness from a script and you have the recipe for a coffee joint to visit when you're in a hurry for a java jolt. The only con? No place to sit. But the sidewalk works too.
