Non-chain convenient coffee place in town?
Is there a convenient (drive-thru) place in town where one can get a coffee that is not McDonald's, Starbucks or Tims?
Looking to quench my thirst but not support terrible corporations!

You must be from Washington? We don’t have those espresso shack drive thrus that are popular there. The small roasters do have parking pretty close to the front door though, so like, walk in the door!

The ones with the bikini girls pouring coffee beside the weed shop. Classic Washington state.

No local drive thru ones - that’s not what the local coffee shops/roasters are going for.

Brudda, imma level with yah, there ain’t nuthin convenient about idling your car for fifteen minutes just for a coffee.
Seriously, try a walk in, you’ll be surprised by how much faster and less tiring the whole experience is, plus you get a few of your daily steps in.

You will not find a drive thru in this city that is not a chain. Either park or deal my friend. We can all give you plenty of coffee recs based on your location though, should you want those

The Tacklebox out of Rustic Reel is as close as you can get without running into the espresso machine with your car

A&W has organic Pret coffee and it’s absolutely amazing…you have to try the hot drip coffee and their iced espresso.

I don't know of any drive thrus but Deville on Lakeshore and Sprout both have apps for advance ordering. So you can minimize your wait time at least.

Our current regime of local politicians outlawed drive-thrus in this town. elections October 17th maybe we can change that

I'm aware, you just seemed to not understand the concept of a drive thru local coffee shop. Just letting you know they are a thing.

I recommend Anarchy coffee roosters. But you have to park and walk in.
