After many failed attempts to find a coffee shop that I could sit down and work in - in University Place, I finally was able to find a Classic Coffee. Their indoor seating is open. There is seating for about six groups, typically it seems like there are maybe one or two groups in there. Coffee was good reasonably priced. Food selections limited but typical for a small coffee stand. I am grateful they had indoor seating, I didn’t realize that some other coffee shops have closed or their seating area has been taken over

I love this place. It was the second time I’ve been there and both times I’ve been helped by Zayin. I absolutely love her and the shop.

I love coming here with my girls. It’s so cozy and the coffee and food is great. The drive through is quick if you’re in a hurry! The baristas are all SO lovely and kind. My favorite coffee shop!

I just went in to get coffee beans. There was no greeting or saying hi. Then I chose my coffee beans and paid with credit card. She charged on my credit card and gave it back to me. She didn’t ask if I need a receipt. She didn’t say goodbye or thank you and immediately turned her back away from me. It’s not like she was busy with multiple customers in line. There was jo one behind me and only one customer was waiting for coffee. I felt completely ignored. I would have given a one star, but I decided to give 2 star only because I like the coffee beans. I do not think I will ever return to this coffee shop again. I don’t want to be treated like nobody. I’m not asking for much but please interact with your customer with some respect.

Love this place! Good drinks, yummy food, and rad vibes. I go here all the time to focus and write! ☕

Pretty good. Service is good. But they lock the door, so you have to hope she sees you to let you in. So, Im not even really sure the shop is open to sit inside. It was a nice day, so we chose to sit outside, but with the door locked, not sure we couldve stayed inside anyway.

Ive eaten here and gotten drinks a few times and the experience had never been good.Ordered a breakfast bagel. Expected a plain white bagel with bacon egg and cheese. Bagel was not a white bagel and had cinnamon in it. When I inquired about the bagels the girl at the counter said they were just plain bagels. The one I received definitely wasnt. The sandwich was heated on a panini press which made it warm and the outside was crispy, but thre interior of the bagel itself was gummy and moist and tasted like it hadnt been fully baked.All the regular coffee served here is burnt tasting and only the decaf seems to not be overly bitter and burnt tasting. No one in my family likes this coffee but Ive given this place a few tries in the hopes that I just had a few unpleasant experiences. But no. Im probably not coming here again.

I stopped in for the first time last week. It used to be Forza. It is a perfect stop on my morning walk/run (won), keep it positive. The coffee is decent. However, after my third visit, the unfriendly, borderline rude staff ended the possibility of me returning🙁They should know there are other coffee options in these parts.

This place needs to work on customer service. They ask what ur having take payment then close the window!! never hows your morning / day ) Not a good vibe I will be going to Gravity Coffee now on longer drive but sweet girls all the way around.

Best place for coffee and breakfast. BUT today we asked for a sausage sandwich...we got ham instead. My family doesnt eat ham. Disappointing breakfast.

Amazing prices, food, and coffee.. but what sets this place apart is the menu and their smooth operations... Keep it coming

Because of a mistake on the employees part today I was denied the opportunity to purchase my coffee because they had it pre-made for me because I have been a daily customer for the last three months 7 days a week usually with my big French Mastff puppy. So because I was 2.30 short they wouldnt spot me until the next day. I really love your coffee but this girl embarrassed me to the point I drove of in tears will have to find a new place for my daily coffee.Thank you for your time-

Always awesome customer service. They always get my order right and quickly!

Breakfast burrito rocks, coffee is above average and service is superb...hanging in the U.P.

I always love the coffee and the customer service. I have driven out of the way for it. ☺️

They had everything I needed in a drive through coffee experience - fast and friendly service hot and black coffee.For my fellow coffee snobs out there: I did find their drip beans to be pretty average in terms of flavor profile but they were inoffensively roasted. I wouldnt say no if I needed coffee on the go.

Polite, pleasant, and Im lining my flowerbed with their free bags of coffee grounds. Social distancing practiced sensibly, with a slight sense of humor (large plastic plants in the middle of tables, etc), and thats really needed right now! Recommending. If you fill up the points card or buy a $50 gift card (also good for the autoshop) you get a free drink. Even though they cant send new employees to train because of Covid-19, they still brew up a wicked cup of whatever Im needing that day. Happily reccomend.

Favorite coffee shop. Good coffee and nice gals. Tip em!

I just moved to the area recently and was recommended by a friend to try this coffee shop. My daughter went recently and told me that they were out of regular espresso and vanilla syrup to make a simple vanilla latte. Today I decided to give it a try and they were out of every dairy milk—they only had milk alternatives. As someone who is allergic to soy and has a sensitivity to different types of tree nuts—this is an issue for me. Seems like they are always out of something important. What coffee shop doesn’t have coffee or milk?? The barista working was friendly, this seems like a poor management issue. Back to find a consistent coffee shop I go.

Classic Coffee provides exceptional service. Kailyn and Avery, in particular, do an excellent job of greeting customers and making the most fantastic drinks. And the management (Maria!) is very conscientious of the quality of the product and cleanliness of the cafe in total. I would recommend Classic Coffee to any one!

Absolutely amazing customer service from ladies and the coffee is on point everytime.

I am so impressed with Classic Coffee! Even my side kick, Mr. Handsome, likes going there because they give him treats too♥️

Really shouldnt advertise dine in and wifi if they dont allow dine in or use of wifi.

Overall I really like this coffee shop. It’s very close to me and has cold brew which I much prefer for my lattes. 90% are right on spot with taste. There does seem to be an issue when you go early morning - I don’t know if the machines haven’t been cleaned or old milk / coffee etc not burned off yet entirely, but there’s a horrible burn taste if you get your coffee at 5-5:30am. As the hour proceeds it begins to taste as it should. Aside from a handful of coffees like this, I’ve had two not so great experiences and was a bit frustrated with the resulting customer service, but generally speaking the girls are nice and stay on top of things. One girl added a $1 tip to my card when I didn’t give her the go ahead. Normally I ask them to put the $1 tip on the card - but I always say so and they always wait for me to give that green light - but this time I had cash for a tip. Well, the worried look on her face when I put the tip in the jar indicated she may have added a tip without me giving the go ahead. Then I look at my total and yep, she went ahead and added a tip without my permission. I let it go, but this type of thing worries me a bit as I’ve noticed some inconsistency with the totals from time to time. One time my coffee was made with eggnog (I never ever get that) and when I realized the issue I turned around and drove back. The girl seemed REALLY put off by me and this inconvenience to her. Insisting it was supposed to be eggnog (again, never ordered it like that?). She didn’t apologize. Ironically I did apologize to her as I saw how bothered she was by this issue. She said two words to me and shoved a new drink in my hands with what seemed like a big sigh of frustration and closed the window. Lastly, my husband- knowing how much I love this coffee (it’s usually exactly what I like and is so convenient, however, a bit pricey) got me a gift card for Christmas. Well, he had to get two. He wanted a $100 gift card but was told by the girl helping him that they don’t offer that. My husband was puzzled. The girl was very cold to him and very irritated by his requests. He then asked if they do 2 $50 gift cards instead and she said she could only sell him one, but she has to see ID. Fine, said my husband. She proceeded to stare at my husbands ID and debit card for a solid 3 mins, back and forth. Then looking at him again with what he could only describe as distain. He began to feel really uncomfortable and said he would have just left except he really wanted to make sure I got the cards for Christmas. He came back later that day to get the second card and asked a different worker if they sold $100 gift cards. She looked puzzled and said of course we do! 🤦🏼‍♀️ My husband was clearly profiled by this girl and then treated less than kindly. Hearing the story honestly made me mad and left a bitter taste in my mouth. I can totally understand females working alone, especially when it’s dark, that they are extra cautious of males. My husbands skin is a bit darker and he did have an appearance of someone who’s a bit rough at the time due to a beard. However, he’s also very friendly and non threatening. My husband had three rugs in the back of his car to bring to the cleaners as another Christmas present for me. The only other thing we can figure out is that she thought he was some drug addict stealing stuff to pawn and then trying to get coffee cards?! Funny part, my husband is up there at least once a day for coffee as well! Anyways, I know we all have bad days and are human. But, there have been a few things I wish had been handled a bit differently.

Friendly baristas. Good coffee.

Friendly and helpful service and the place is clean!!

Always a good cup of coffee and very nice staff

I really like the coffee here--I can actually drink it black with just a little sweetener and its very smooth. The food items are good too. As for service, theyre always friendly, which is great, but theyre a little on the slow side. The mood is warm and casual, which is great if you just want to hang out for a while and read or chat with a friend. Just plan on spending a bit of time in the drive-thru, especially if there are people on front of you. Not the end of the world, just something to know ahead of time if youre in a hurry.

The white rabbit coffee is life changing. I am absolutely in love! The staff here are amazing and extremely friendly. Very warm and cozy feel as well. You have a lifetime fan now. See you everyday!

Its quiet, good coffee, very pleasant.

I love this coffee shop it carries a very large size coffees and I really like that.

One of the best blended espresso drinks I have had! The staff are so sweet and welcoming. I ordered a crazy combination of flavors and they absolutely nailed it. Drinks were made super quick and delivered to our table with a smile. Absolutely delightful!! I would definitely recommend this place !

I just want to say I love the new shop! Also I always love seeing Kayla she has the best customer service and always takes the time to listen, we truly need more gals like her. 💗 Thanks Kayla for always making my mornings the best considering the time of day! ☺️

The staff at Forza Coffee are so friendly, and they always remember a face if not a name. The selection of food and drinks is nicely varied. You can get a yummy pastry treat, hot breakfast or lunch sandwich (panini press), and there are tons of healthy, clean snacks. Their drinks all have a rich flavor. The office where I work is nearby, and we even have the option of having drinks delivered so long as our order meets the dollar amount required for delivery. The atmosphere is cozy and warm.

The people that have been working during this pandemic know how to make good coffee beverages compared to most in the area & my drinks are ALWAYS consistent. Service is also A+!! Recommend them!

So the coffee is great WHEN it’s made right.... They often mess up your drinks and it is never what you ask for. They are very slow and seems like they don’t really listen. It really isn’t that hard to know the difference between caramel drizzle and mocha drizzle :)

Coffee:Great quality! They had what seemed like a million flavors to choose from, and the coffee had the perfect amount of bitterness to it. Very enjoyable 🖤Customer Service:All the workers I saw were females, and they were pretty nice. They seemed very eager to help me anytime I wanted to order something.FREE WIFI 🖤🖤I was stuck there for about 8 hours because I was waiting for my car to get fixed. They were polite the whole time and didn’t complain about me waiting there.

So blessed to have this gem of a coffee shop up the hill from us. I was worried when it changed owners but if anything has gotten even better. Like family here and the quality of coffee is amazing plus they have a bazillion flavors and Nitro brew! Oh and the Sandwiches!!!!! Im addicted. I use the gift card that way you get a free drink with 50 dollar reloads

It was Forza. But it still has great customer service. Same awesome employees. I love the drive up. But going inside has a cozy feel. I just dont have the time to really enjoy it. Ive been there when it was busy. And times it was slower. Anytime you go, always a friendly smile. Not long wait times. To me, this place is way better then Starbucks!

This place has changed hands a couple of different times. I ordered the Venetian which is the drink that I believe they make the best. It was delicious as usual. Always a ton of people inside this place early in the morning.

I live down the street so I started coming here a few months ago. Probably some of the best coffee Ive had. Employees are always excellent. Shout out to whichever emoyee that has coffee ready befote i even get to the drive thru window haha. Great place

Incompetent workers that cant get an order right. Doesnt matter what time of day you go in, they always mess up. Forza was way better and going here since the switch hasnt brought any good experiences. The drive thru is also slow! Will not be coming back here ever again.👎👎

Had their cold brew today. It came out looking like iced tea and tasted like coffee flavored water. Extremely weak and watery. I dont recommend this place if youre looking for iced coffee/cold brew.

The service here is so bad since the switch. Today, I was in the drive through line for 10 minutes behind 1 car who was at the window. There were 2 people working and in that time there was only 1 customer inside the store. Eventually, I had to just leave to avoid being late picking up my son. I have tried several times ordering through the drive through lane and each time end up leaving because of the poor time management. They should spend more time making drinks rather than having conversations and acting like they dont have a care in the world. Waste of my time!

A really cute little shop with great food choices, and even better coffee. The only thing that keeps me from giving them five stars is that the service can occasionally be a bit slower than other shops, especially in the drive through. But even so, the wonderful staff always make it fly by!

Well... I ordered two drinks for my daughter and I. Drinks were honestly less than desirable. I also ordered a lemon cake. The cake was hard and stale. I usually don’t complain but it was inedible. They didn’t have another to replace it and said they couldn’t give me anything else. So I said, well I would like a refund for the cake (I didn’t complain about the drinks) and she said that she didn’t know how to do that but she would call someone for some help. She did and we waited for her to notify us what the status was. She never said or made and effort to come speak to us. I got the feeling that she was hoping that we would just sweep it under the rug and leave. I went back up to the counter and asked again she then took my credit card and said she would credit the card back. Whatever attempt she made didn’t work at all. I had already left the store and I’m like forget it I’m not going back to deal with incompetence any longer. Won’t be going back to this place!

Awful coffee and real slow service

Im really like this placethank you

Great people, great coffee, and the food is great! Can’t say enough about this place. I look forward to seeing their smiling faces every morning!

Fast and friendly service, great drinks and snacks.

Friendly staff.....Great coffee♡♡♡♡♡

Honestly, I’m upset by how bad the service has become since the brand switch. Today, I was in the drive through line for over 15 minutes behind 1 car who was at the window that entire time. There were 2 people working and in that time there was only 1 customer inside the store. Eventually, I had to just leave to avoid being late. And this is only the most recent incident: every time I go in, the workers don’t seem to know what they’re doing, work slowly, and have made me the wrong drink multiple times, but they take so long that I don’t have time to get it fixed. I am disappointed because this used to be one of my favorite coffee shops and now they may be losing my business :(

I have been going there for 6 + years love the girls there, very good with customer service and very professional they also remember more than one drink and I enjoy there business and that is why they are apart of my daily routine- Coop #TenToezDowN #Movement

Awesome service for first time visit. Great drinks and will be back😋🎊

My favorite coffee house around! I love the blueberry macha latte and love that I can get vegan goodies too! Staff is friendly and fast and the environment is pretty and comfortable. ❤️

Their bagel sandwiches are phenomenal and their drinks are pretty good too. Would recommend!

This is one of my most favorite coffee places to go to! Not only do you get great coffee and food, you also get quick, friendly service. I highly recommend Forza!

I believe I found my local cafe!Excellent coffee and service. Definitely has that cozy cafe vibe, where you can sit back, chill and enjoy your coffeeHighly recommended: Tuscany coffee.Free parking. Small, cozy. Drive through available if youre in a rush.

Expensive

Nice local coffee house with gluten-free and vegan treats. I enjoyed a macadamia milk latte in front of fireplace with a friend. Great customer service.

This place rules! Very warm fireplace. Cozy place.

Only been once but my order was perfect. Baby bell for my daughter, cute little place.

Disappointing...Forza used to have really good coffee. Not only did I taste 0 coffee, but even when I asked for half the flavor all I could taste was flavor. Also, this place is ridiculously expensive compared to other places. Will not be going back. RIP Forza.

I stop by every morning, so they now know my order but always ask before having it ready in case I decide to change it! In and out in less than 5 minutes on my way to class in the morning! Best way to start my day!

Theyre a good small coffee shop. The drinks were a tad over sweet, however not to bigfoot java level. All in all, its a great little coffee shop. If youre in the area give them a shot.

They have flying apron gluten free, vegan treats that are amazing. Try the cinnamon roll... Oh, and the staff is superb too

Customer service was always really good and they have a drive thru window the girls remember your usual order atmosphere inside is cozy. Great coffee house ✨🌺

Super sweet girls and a great cup of coffee! Cookies as big as your head and unique sweet treats like caramel apple cider and Italian sodas. Highly recommended this locally-owned spot!

This has been my favorite coffee place for over a decade now. Im from the East coast and when I visited PNW I quickly feel in love with Forza. Its still my favorite and now that I live here I come on the regular. Thank you for such a wonderful experience Everytime.

Aside from the staff being unsure of a lot - like whether I should wait at the counter for them to heat a sandwich for me (are you kidding?), the experience was reasonably pleasing. The sandwich hearing took about five minutes. Who wants a customer to stand around waiting when walking that sandwich ten feet away to them is a reasonable feat?

Great coffee, always a smooth blend

Need to stock up on supplies, always dont have what we order..

Dec 14 2018, around 9am. I went to the university place forza to get my usual drink. It was a new lady in the drive through. She was funny, kind, and charming. She had blue eyes and black curly hair. Looked to be in her early 30’s. I didn’t get to catch her name. My card end up declining, I’ve never had that happen to me before. Even checked my account and there was the amount in there. For some reason it wouldn’t go through. She paid for my drink! I was appalled because I’ve never had someone do that for me. I want her to know it ment the world to me and stay blessed. She sure was mine today.Thank you

They make my tea just the way I love it.

Oh my gosh LOVE the staff here so sweet!! Great coffee as well!

Great coffee ☕, try a dirty pumpkin spiced chai latte.

I sat in for 15 minutes. 3 cars in of me. Will never back.

Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Kid friendly enough and tasty caps! Only ding due to slightly higher prices than Id expect and a slim picking food selection when I happened to pop in... may not be like that always though and definitely looking forward to trying it again!

Employees are always helpful. Quick service and clean store. Love going to get the blended vanilla chai :) its bomb!!!

Friendly helpful staff and delicious drink!

Hadnt been here in awhile and forgot how delicious the coffee was! I also had a heated bagel sandwich that was excellent.

Great service. Great drinks, including drinks other than coffee.

Good coffee, desserts and service. First responders eat here.

This is the original location of the Forza Coffee Company which is now a pretty big chain. Weve been coming here for about 15 years. They have a nice selection of novelty coffee drinks as well as a very excellent cold brew they call Nitro. They also have a decent selection of foods: some sandwiches, some sweets.The baristas here have been consistently good over the years. Also - they have a drive through!

Im so damn picky with my coffee. Def not the girl to be wowed over basic Starbucks ick. When I moved to UP I was excited about having a Forza so close but this one in particular...the ladies are awesome, friendly, and are always kind 💕. Plus the make the best mfing breve lattes than I have found in king or pierce co. The coffee is never bitter even when its strong. The balance of cream and coffee with just a hint of my usual hazelnut...☺ best caffinated pick me up in town. They have a tiramisu drink that is seriously better than cake. Thank you ladies for always giving me a smile even when Im poopy.

Ever wonder how Thor grew his beard? Look no further. Drink more Forza. Pretty sure Einstein discovered the theory of relativity while drinking.

My favorite place to get a frappachino! Everyone is always nice here and is a great environment!

Love this place. Great staff and owners make this my go to come shop when Im in the area.

Ok

I have been going here for years now, and adore everything. The baristas are not only friendly, but personable and will always go the extra mile to make you feel at home- memorozing your favorite order after only 3 or 4 visits. The owners are very involved and kind, seeking out new recipes constantly, and taking customer suggestions regularly. There are also an incredible amount of options for people with food restrictions. Forza at Cirque is truly wonderful. Only thing that could get better is an open mic night. ;)

Very nice selection of beverages and pastry. Small, cozy, exceptionally friendly staff. Been coming here for years.

Great staff that always take care of their customers. Great code as well. They have couple of different seating arrangements for all sorts of different people and occasions. Free WiFi is a bonus!

Quick frappes is what i get here. They are really good and fast for my early morning jolt before the ymca.

Absolutely amazing service would recommend to anyone who I know please support this amazing coffee shop

Good coffee, but not consistent.

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. A+ for me. Must try the chai tea latte. Delicious!

We love Forza, there is always friendly service, great coffee, great food made fresh, and they are always so patient with our silly kids! Go here for some good coffee and friendly service!

Perfect for a quick breakfast. Love the pizza bagels

Love. Debbie was super helpful at finding me the perfect coffee for my taste. Great atmosphere!

I enjoy going to this Forza the staff is always pleasant and they always remember my order and my name.They treat you like your the only customer.
