They just made it so that you need to tap a microsoft badge in order to be let through the front door just fyi. Non microsoft affiliated people are still allowed inside, but staff can’t let you in so you have to wait for someone to exit to let you in. Wish they had a sign posted about this :(

Okay, this specific location is for Microsoft employees, accessible only through a badge, and located at Redmond Tech Station. But man, I loved the coffee! Felt so heartwarming to have a good latte and little art on top of it when the general campus standards across the globe are a brewed coffee from the machine, that won’t even go in without a chocolate. Ah! Good. As always, had a 12oz hot latte with regular milk. The barista was super nice, and a plenty of seating space. Will not shy away from the other 3 locations moving forward, 2 of which are accessible to the general public. Yuhu! Good coffee on campus!

Contrary to one review, this location is open to all. I suspect Microsoft Employees have badge access after hours, which may have caused confusion. Not much around here other than Microsoft, but a convenient spot to grab coffee if you happen to be waiting for a transfer to a bus.

Dote coffee is always good, this place was a great discovery on my end...its quiet on a Monday workday, space is amazing and clean. I can't believe they have been here since Sept 2023. Downside of slowday is they dont have much fresh bakery food. They even have the schedule of the bus. Lots of busy MS workers getting to work, big bus, and trains merge..
