Revolutions, Greenlake

Posted by Amanda Ford in Famished, Relaxin', Scene

If you are a woman who gets utterly annoyed when a stranger calls you “sweetie,” you may want to avoid Revolutions as your morning latte provider. If, however, you are a woman who gets a thrill from a little unexpected sweet talk, Revolutions is your place. Here’s just a small sampling of the greetings I have received from the baristas upon approaching the counter: How you doing, Sugar? What’s going on today, Sweetheart? Hey Girl! Can I make you a drink, Baby?
Dreamt-up, designed, owned, and operated by three visionary (and might I add, quite adorable) brothers, this coffeehouse has a vibe all its own. For the men of Revolutions, coffee is an art and cool style seems to come as second nature. From the hint of flirtation in their welcoming greeting, to the grey cement floors and walls, to the changing display of paintings by local artists, to the mysterious woman who graces the shop’s logo, the space manages to be simultaneously sleek and comfortable while maintaining a playful, vibrant energy.
At Revolutions they bake their own pastries in a kitchen in the back. The muffins are not too sweet and are some of the best I have ever had. Most importantly of course, their coffee making skills are top notch which is a huge compliment coming from me, a woman whose drink (single, tall, non-fat, dry cappuccino) is often butchered by less talented baristas. The men at Revolutions have the finesse and patience to foam my milk perfectly. Thank heaven for this coffee revolution!
