"Nice specialty coffee shop. Beautiful automatic pour over machines - amusing to behold! Had a natural Ethiopian and an Ethiopian-Colombian blend. Was ok, but no more than that. The cups lacked clarity and brightness for me, didn’t have enough character, felt somewhat generic and somewhat roasty - both had that kind of sunflower seeds taste layer kind of thing that felt like it’s a reflection of overroast. Nonetheless, there was some kind of aftertaste. Had a great Colombian cortado though! Next time I am here, I’d go straight for an espresso drink and maybe some bite. Nice vibe, comfortable armchairs!"

"We were honored to partner with First Avenue Coffee to launch our alcohol-free pop-up event business, Diversion Events! Doyle and Carri were flexible, passionate, and welcoming hosts. Their staff is creative, talented, and tireless. The space is immaculate and perfect for an event. The mocktail menu is impeccable and sourced beautifully, not mention their regular food and drink options. Basically, they approach all they do with excellence, and it shows. We are now life-long fans of First Avenue Coffee and forever grateful to them!"

"I don't know where to begin. Typically, I'll review a place after I leave, but I couldn't wait in case someone was on the fence deciding if they should come here or not. Please, definitely put this shop on your list of coffee shops to visit. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and fast. I asked for a recommendation on my drink, and it did not disappoint. Very delicious!! I also got the coconut macaroon and cheddar and chive biscuit. Um... what kind of magic is going on in the kitchen to put an egg in the middle of the biscuit? It is absolutely mouthwatering and by far the best biscuit I have ever eaten. I can not say enough good things about my experience, and I truly hope everyone gives this shop a try and falls in love as much as I have."

"Definitely one of the best coffee shops in Spokane area. As coffee and matcha lovers, we loved how First Avenue Coffee baristas put their heart into their drinks. The coffee and matcha flavors are well balanced. The atmosphere is spacious and welcoming. The open floor plan makes it easy to work or enjoy with groups. It is located a close walking distance from Riverfront park."
