1st day of a long weekend. Jay surprised me with a morning coffee date at Tom Sawerys Coffee Roasters for a new coffee fad FLIGHTS!!!Thank you my love for a fun relaxing morning!! I had the original flight menu and Jay had the drip coffee variety.If you are in Spokane, WA I highly recommend a trip. Limited goodies but, we had a day old blueberrie scone (asked them to warm it for 10 seconds, BEST AMOUNT 8F TIME FOR OLD PASTRIES) It was delicious 😋

In the heart of Kendal Yards is this eclectic little coffee shop. They offer some of the boldest coffee in Spokane. They have focused on the grind & perfected their roast over the years! Not only do they deliver a solid cold brew but they also serve up the most amazing baked goods. I have recently jumped on the Coffee Flight trend and I was satisfied with every sip.

Some people that have probably never even been here are leaving bad reviews for no good reason. I came here while visiting the area on vacation and it was a truly lovely coffee place that contributed to my positive view of Spokane. My husband and I (and yes, we are people of color 🙄) happened to meet the owner and he was very sweet and welcoming and the baristas were very kind as well. There is a good amount of seating & a great atmosphere with vintage/antique coffee tins and things like that decorating the walls. They also have ice cream and we got some on the side with our coffee. Great place. Thanks Gary!

In short ..I was skeptical. Not for long. The young lady serving was delightful and helpful. The new owner Tom gave us a brief education of the history of the original owner and tips on other coffees.The flight experience was awesome. The coffees were smooth with no bitter bite. We felt like long time valued customers. I cannot wait to share this venue with my ladies group. Thanks for making the day great. Many years of continuous success! BRAVO

Looking for a great cup of coffee, well you found it at Tom Sawyers Country Coffee. Roasted on the premise they offer a variety of blends including Water Processed Decaf and Organic Blends. Located in beautiful Kendal Yards after enjoying your coffee stroll around and discover shops, wineries and restaurants located next to the Spokane River. Tired of over roasted coffee? Come to Tom’s. They Also do custom grinds here.

Not Covid Friendly - Setting a bad precedent under new ownership for a place with an already bad reputation. I am very frustrated and disappointed in this business. As Spokane county teeters on the edge of regressing back to Phase 2, not one employee was wearing a mask when I came to the shop. When I asked why, the girl at the register evaded my question and just asked what she could get me. As a business under new ownership with a complicated history, I was excited to patron this coffee shop however I think Ill be avoiding it in the future.

I usually prefer the light roast, hipster coffee shops. These guys are a bit more on the dark roast side but they do it really, really well!Drip is good black, espresso is good straight and the bag of Blondie was the best darker roast coffee I’ve brewed (French press and Aero press) in a long time!If you like good coffee but have trouble convincing your S-bux loving friends to try quality coffee, this place bridges the gap beautifully!

This is a great coffee shop. My friends from the bay area load up when they come to visit, but you can buy online too. The coffee is roasted in shop. You can meet the owner, who is kind and knowledgeable, and smell all the different roasts. The cold brew is not to be missed, both as a pour and on nitro. The nitro brews are made per cup, with a system that pulls nitro straight from the air instead of individual canisters. The staff is also very talented. You wont be disappointed if you ask for recommendations of fun drinks. I recommend the undertone 😉 They also have a selection of teas and smoothies for non coffee drinkers, as well as the Golden Latte, which is a tasty tumeric based drink that is full of awesome antiinflammatory properties!They have a great atmosphere. The shop is SO clean. The patio is great and they have a big garage door that opens to make the shop feel open air. They also have a conference room available, which I plan to utilize in the future!They also just got ice cream, and it is definitely some of the best in town. Do not miss the salted caramel pretzel. They recommend it affogato style, with an espresso shot poured on top. I have been here several times and I love it. I have never had a bad experience.

I knew something was different when I walked through the door, but I could not figure out what. Then this polite gentleman that had just emptied the roaster, walked over introduced himself as the new owner.No wonder there were people I didnt recognize back in the roasting area, an stamping bags for the beans that had just been roasted.Everything else is still the way it has always been.So the next time you are down by Spokane county courthouse and need a cup of coffee, head to Maple Street located above the Maple Street Bridge corridor, drive to the end of the street and you will find one of the best kept secrets in all of Spokane. Oh, they also have whole bean Blue Mountain Jamaican Coffee that is roasted onsite.Try BMJ coffee and you will understand why it is literally rated the best coffee in the world, and that is no joke.

Im not a coffee drinker, but my friends and associates are. So while I cant rate the coffee specifically, I can rate the service and the chai latte I enjoyed, which were both wonderful. The location isnt necessarily convenient, but it is quite charming and the ambiance inside is super cool with lots new and antique roasting and grinding equipment. Id definitely come back with more coffee-loving friends and family.

I have been coming here for a couple of years and enjoyed the atmosphere and service. The product is high quality and costs a bit more but worth the price! I buy the Organic blends for home use. I do miss the old displays of coffee products and equipment that have been taken down, but I guess that is progress??? The political dust up was crazy! If politics is an issue about where one shops, you are part of the problem in this country today. Lets all get along!

Always great coffee and a very friendly staff, I recommend buying their whole bean coffee that is roasted in house to take home, the Viking Roast is one of my favorites.

A little off the beaten path but definitely worth a visit. The espresso was wonderful and service outstanding. First time wanted to try different blends so purchased sampling offer. 3 half lbs. for reasonable rate. Coffee house smells to give you a sit and relax mood. Sorry I didnt get names but service was tops.

Review №28

This place is great. Amazing staff and amazing coffee. Ignore the 1 star reviews posted around June 17th. They are fake reviews and all done to bully the owner who gave gift cards to law enforcement. We have a sad society who whenever offended tends to belittle those who think different from them...which is why suddenly all these 1 star reviews came up. I plan to keep going here and supporting a small business who does big things for the community. Thank you to all the hard working employees.

I fell in love the moment the waitress set my cherry limeade down, and I saw a small scoop of limemade sherbet. Im not a huge fan of the onion rings, but thats just in general but I ordered the 50/50 & thats how it usually comes; I wish I wouldve gotten fries and tater tots instead. The burger was fantastic and tasted cooked to order. I appreciate the fresh leaf of lettuce!

Review №33

I went there once some time ago and wont go back. First its not worth the cost of what they sell. Its one of these inflated price average coffee types of places.I didnt find the atmosphere welcoming, uncomfortable seating, terrible service.Overall the experience just left a bad taste in my mouth.From the Rocket to Indaba to Boots or Boo Radleys, there are far better coffee shops at this price point in Spokane.

The entire package, friendly staff, great environment and exceptional coffee, all roasts including the decaf are second to none! Thank you to everyone for always making our experience unique. God bless you Gary, “Tom” for understanding the leadership principle, and surrounding yourself with incredible people!

Review №35

Such a great coffee shop! I saw at least 10 people come in just for their bags of coffee. The owners take time to ask about what you are using your coffee for to give you the best grind consistency. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. A must see!

Review №36

Hands down best coffee in the world. They have every blend and roast I have ever heard of. If I ever couldnt get there Toms favorite roast I would probably just quite drinking coffee I could never go back to regular coffee.

Review №37

Wonderful place!!! Coffee is great and they roast it on site. The location is a mixture of industrial and commercial with what looks like the bagging and grinding operation on one half of the store and the register and seating on the other half. It has wonderful old coffee brewing and grinding antiques situated around the room to give a very Museum feel to the store. It can get noisy in the shop when the coffee roaster is operating and service can take awhile sometimes. All in all they serve great coffee and I would recommend it to anyone.

Awesome coffee in an awesome setting. Dont be fooled by the exterior, which is rather plain. Inside the shop it has a light industrial vibe and is decorated with TONS of vintage coffee paraphernalia like cans, packages, coffee grinders, coffee pots, etc. In addition, the machinery used for their roasting operation is in full view. Best of all, the coffee is terrific and the service very friendly.

Tom Sawyer roasts the best coffee in the Inland Northwest. Tom has an amazing selection of coffee and some very creative blends. If you want the worlds best cappuccino then show up when Sarah is working. Best dry cappuccino Ive ever had. Love the coffee! Great job you guys.

Great atmosphere to sit down and do your homework. The Barista was very friendly and she made my coffee very delicious. I always like to try a white chocolate and irish creme latte and it was supurb! i like my coffee to lean more on coffee flavor than artificial syrup flavor and this came out delish. The coffee shop is uniuque with its vintage signs, coffee machines and very cute displays. Also, the aromas of the coffee beans being packaged is something that adds more to your day and might be too distracting while studying but it smells so AMAZING!
