Forza Coffee Company - University Place

After several unsuccessful tries to find a coffee shop where I could work in University Place, I finally discovered Classic Coffee. The indoor seating area was open, accommodating about six groups, though it seemed that usually only one or two groups occupied the space. The coffee was good, and while the food selection was limited, it was typical for a small coffee stand. I’m grateful they had indoor seating, especially since I wasn't aware that some other cafes had either closed or had their seating areas taken over.

Classic Coffee, formerly known as Forza, has been my favorite coffee shop for years. I dread the thought of finding another coffee shop during my travels, and I'm always thrilled to return for my usual order. The baristas—both familiar faces and newcomers—made the transition to Classic Coffee feel effortless, and they consistently go above and beyond to provide exceptional service. Recently, Kailyn has been my morning barista, and she always greets me with warmth and laughter, no matter how early or busy it gets. Although there’s a wait until you reach the window to place your order, these baristas know my drink (and my car) so well that it’s usually ready by the time I get there. I love bringing my dog along for his morning outing and treat. I truly appreciate my coffee and the wonderful staff here; they make my mornings brighter.

I really love the coffee here; it's absolutely delicious! The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that the drinks can be a bit inconsistent, depending on who prepares them.

Classic Coffee offers exceptional service. Kailyn and Avery, especially, do an excellent job to welcome customers and make the most fantastic drinks. And management (Maria! is very conscientious about the quality of the product and cleanliness of the café as a whole. I would recommend Classic Coffee to everyone!

I love coming here with my girls. It’s so cozy and the coffee and food is great. The drive through is quick if you’re in a hurry! The baristas are all SO lovely and kind. My favorite coffee shop!
