Sisters' Espresso Inc sits along Burien’s 1st Avenue South, serving as a dependable stop for locals looking for quality coffee without fuss. This cafe is all about straightforward, well-made drinks delivered with a brisk but personal touch—regulars appreciate how quickly the line moves, often having their orders ready by the time they reach the window. It feels like the kind of spot where baristas recognize familiar faces, making it a quietly social point in the neighborhood’s daily rhythm.

The emphasis here is clearly on the coffee itself. Whether you're in the mood for a classic oat milk latte—decaf options included—or something a little different like their notable white coffee, you can expect a solid roast and precise preparation. While they don’t offer trendier alternatives like matcha, their consistent coffee quality speaks to their know-how and focus. Among frequent visitors, the place also doubles as a go-to for some creative Italian sodas, a reminder that Sisters' Espresso accommodates more than the usual espresso drag.

The atmosphere is casual and no-nonsense, built around grab-and-go customers and those who appreciate a reliable caffeine fix at any time of day. Long-term patrons, some with nearly two decades of returning visits, show how this cafe has woven itself into Burien’s local fabric. Mornings and midday rushes seem especially lively, while the sense of community keeps the vibe warm rather than rushed.

In short, Sisters' Espresso Inc works well for anyone hoping to support a small, locally minded business without sacrificing the quality of their daily cup. If you appreciate baristas who know their craft and neighbors who stop by regularly, this spot fits naturally into your routine.

They don’t have matcha. But they do have white coffee. I ordered a decaf oat milk latte and it was delicious. One of the best lattes I have had in a long time where you can truly enjoy the roast of the beans. Will be going back!

Get my coffee here every day, sometimes twice a day. I have been going here for about 18 years. The drinks are consistent, the line moves quick, my drink is usually done by the time I get to the window. Baristas are friendly :)

I absolutely love this place. 99% of the time i get a red bull Italian soda with blue raspberry and they make it right every time. They have good coffee too!!! I just love going to them. They know their stuff. You can't go wrong here unless you don't like coffee lol.

I have been coming here for as long as I can remember!! The coffee here is so good, the owner is so nice and very friendly. The baristas know their customers, and know their drinks.

I've made Sister's a part of my morning ritual over the course of this year. (Is it ironic I was referred to this spot by my sister???) But in all seriousness the coffee here is fantastic. The ladies here are very quick to memorize your drink, if you're like myself and have the usual go-to. I don't think I've had a bad beverage from here, ever. They offer punch cards too, which is a great incentive to keep coming back. Lastly, the drink's are consistent! Sister's Espresso sets a genuine proper standard that I feel most other Drive-thru Espresso stands and sit-down Cafe's alike, don't quite meet. Yall freakin' rock!
