It's funny that this coffee shop comes right after Cinnaholic. This place is everything Cinnaholic isn't: restrained, independent, coffee-focused. Five Stones Coffee Company is a hipsterish independent coffee shop. It has a woody no-frills northwest elegance.

The pastries are excellent. The croissants are among the best I've ever tasted. The coffee is smooth and will have broad appeal. And enjoy their pretentious website. 

Five Stones has a Northwest style coziness. It's clean and clean-cut. It's very near the Redmond Transit Center, so this is a great stop for commuters. It's a bland neighborhood of mostly apartment buildings. It's also a very safe and clean neighborhood.

Five Stone will appeal to the coffee snob and the casual pastry lover alike. It's an easy place to get comfortable.
