Customer Reviews

Always love coming here for a drink. Friendly staff and never disappointed in what I get, unless I wing my own crazy concoctions ??

This place is so wonderful I almost don't want to tell too many people! Everything they prepare is delicious. The baristas are exceptional and genuinely seem to care about their customers.

Located on Highway 2 heading east towards the mountains/pass. Tucked next to a tattoo/hair salon shop on Lewis Street. It was highly recommended and I was told I will like it! So, decided to head out and try since we needed espresso anyway! Was pleasantly surprised and definitely exceeded my expectations. Wanted to try their namesake doughnuts and mistakenly ordered a dozen instead of just 6. It was $1 for the other 6 which was a great deal! Recommended that I try the biscuits and gravy, I was hesitant but

Three coffees all came out amazing, they were super fast and extremely friendly offering to make it exactly to our liking which is hard to find in places in a rush, super sweet and will definitely be back!

Very delicious drinks and tasty donuts! We tried the white chocolate mocha and it was very yummy. Very smooth coffee flavor. Definitely try a bag or two of the dinky donuts! Deep fried sugary goodness.

I went for a late afternoon coffee today but had a disappointing experience. The barista was unfriendly and seemed indifferent to my presence. I?ve had great service at this coffe shop before, but today?s treatment felt racially motivated, so I won?t be returning.

Been to many coffee stands but these ladies are a breath of fresh air. Especially Faith! She?s as genuine and as polite as anyone you will meet. Thank you

This location has been here since I was a little kid and now I get to share these amazing donuts 20 years later with my kids!!!! The best freshly baked donuts and yummy coffee around.

We stopped by for Doughnuts after seeing a video clip of radio people trying local coffee places. I got a white chocolate and mocha latter. The coffee was very smooth with an excellent ratio of coffee to sweetness ??. I will 100% get coffee here again when I'm in the area. The doughnuts were fresh and hot. So fresh the cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar didn't stick. Still yummy. Perfect last day of school celebration treat. The kids ate them all. We had a little scream with the coffee when we spotted a s

The employee was very nice and asked me about how my time in Seattle was going. She recommended items to me and told me their prices. I got a fantastic white chocolate mocha and bought a delicious and huge looking cookie. I also got the biscuit gravy combo. Definitely come here and not a gas station if stopping by!!

Took my Sister to Darci's Dinky Donuts since we missed our turn to go to a different coffee shop. I told her if she didn't mind we could stop in here. She was excited when I told her that they actually have small darci dinky donuts too. With her being new to Darci's they gave her, her 1st 6ct for free with her white chocolate raspberry mocha drink. She the barista even gave me a free 6ct for bringing a new customer. We were thankful and happy for the experience was off the charts and won my Sis as a custome

Darci's Dinky Donuts is an espresso stand that also makes small (dinky) donuts that cook fast enough that you can have fresh ones with your drink. The donuts are good, but today we did not have any. Just drinks. Luckily they do a very good job with espresso drinks.

Edit: This stand is worth the wait! Below I call out some of the OG superstars, but all the girls are amazing! They can handle me when I can?t make a decision, they help me choose my drink. The breakfast burritos are amazing!! The coffee, lotus, and biscuits and gravy are so good. April, Gabby, Judith, Olivia, and Bailey are the best!

Darcis Dinky Donuts is a fantastic spot! Their coffee is rich and flavorful, perfectly complementing the fresh mini donuts that are simply outstanding. It's true that the line can get long, but it's definitely understandable given how delicious everything is. The wait is worth it for such a delightful treat. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

The best baristas, coffee, lotus and donuts in town! Even when the lines are long they are always quick and still provide great service. All the baristas are amazing! But (playing favorites?.) its always amazing coffee, donuts and great conversation to start your day when Judith and Bre are in the window!

Love Darcis! They are right next to my work and they are my daily go to for my coffee! They have the most reasonable prices for drinks and they always have great recommendations for new drinks to try. They girls who work there are super kind and friendly!

It's a drive-thru place but they have great little Donuts

Food and coffee is good and cheap (compared to other places) and the staff was sweet!

Nothing major to point out here. The coffee was pretty good. Typical for a drive up coffee shop. The drive through was really slow and there was quite a wait. We didn't try the doughnuts, but they smelled delicious!

I?ve been getting my morning coffee, biscuit and gravy, and fresh mini-donuts from Darci?s for more than a decade. I recall seeing Darci herself, and ever since the beginning, they make sure to learn your favorites, greet you with a genuine smile and serve you excellent coffee and food. They make an effort to control prices, but still deliver a high quality product. A definite hidden gem, just off the main highway 2 and a block off Main Street. Darci?s is my first choice.

We love Darci's. Inexpensive but really good drinks. The baristas are a hoot! Plus kids drinks are a buck. Definitely love it here and love working with Judith and Sam?

Whenever I get a chance on day off I will take the drive 45 minutes away for there warm fresh Dinky Dounts so very good had 2 bag's didn't even make it from Monroe to Snohomish

Really good & friendly; can have fairly long lines, so please be patient, kind & pay attention.

This place is a problem. Their drinks are too dang tasty, and the staff always provides quick and friendly service. Donuts are delicious and bite size, love the topping choices too!

This place is worth giving a go. One of our coffees wasn't anything special, but wasn't bad by any means. The other coffee was a Chai tea with white coffee; a unique flavor that was enjoyable. The donuts are cake donuts and tasty. The staff was great. I would recommend giving it a try!

Absolutely love Darci's. Cute little drive-thru coffee stand with lots of food options (quick and prepared) and the best coffee in the valley, and as someone who is always driving from town to town for work, I have been, and continue to check out stands weekly. Darci's always comes out on top. The baristas are always super nice (even at 5am in the morning, or 6pm at night). I've been coming for years, and there is a reason my family gives me their gift cards as presents. I go at least 3 times a week on my

My favorite coffee stand in Monroe ?? Great quality coffee and the donuts are delicious too.

Fresh hot donuts that were ready super fast? Love it. The barista was kind and helpful.

Been going to Darcis for years! Heidi, Judith, all the ladies are great. Great drinks everytime. Donuts and biscuits are delicious and an easy treat or meal to grab. So rarely do I get something I don't like or something is wrong. VERY RARE. But when it does, anyone will fix it for you. They are always honest and are consistent

Delicious!!! The coffee is good and the staff is very nice. It's the ONLY stand in town that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for a cup of coffee. Plus the Biscuits and Gravy are the Boom and hot fresh mini donuts are so yummy. ** If your visiting in the morning be prepared to wait, this place is popular. Because it's THAT GOOD. Worth the wait.

Those little doughnuts were incredible. The coffee was ok. The gals working the place were super friendly. If you're in the area make sure to stop by and grab a few of those doughnuts. They are worth it.

Amazing coffee run by two amazing ladies!

absolutely love this place. people are super nice and you can have donuts!

Extremely good coffee. I got a Mocha and half a dozen bite size donuts and they were Bomb.

Good coffee but they were out of donuts

Good coffee and great mini-donuts. The biscuits and gravy are good, too. The gravy is canned but in Washington State biscuits and gravy is an oft disasterously misinterpreted wreck, so I'll take it. Actual biscuits rather than toast helps. The staff is always friendly and they're busy in the mornings, so it's not just me :-)

I LOVE this coffee stand. Always friendly and coffee is delicious. And for whatever reason, they sell biscuits and gravy here, which i thought was weird but OH MY GOSH THESE ARE THE BEST BISCUITS AND GRAVY EVER FOR ONLY LIKE $2.50! 10/10 would recommend.

Any other time I give this place 5?, but last weekend our order of biscuits and gravy were absolutely terrible! The biscuits were so hard I couldn't even cut them with my complimentary utensil!!!

My absolute favorite place to get coffee! I've been coming here for 14 years because I love the coffee and love the baristas too! The girls always try to connect with you on a personal level in the few minutes that they have while they are making your coffee. Love, love, love this place! I don't go anywhere else.

The baristas always start their next client's drink to help get through the lines quickly. It's well worth the wait even if you had to. They're so kind & take the time to get to know everyone. The owner is there often supporting in every way. I love Darcy's, I've been a client for years & will be forever. Small town feel & that's never changed. Delish homemade biscuits & gravy too. Thank you!

Best coffee within 10 towns in diameter ? of Monroe. My family has been coming here since 2001. Coffee and donuts are consistent in flavor and prices can't be beat! We probably could have bought 50 nice coffee machines but for the amount of money we've spent in coffee and tips here, totally worth it. Haha

Darci's is such a great place to go for coffee! I always have my dogs who get excited about the treats! I love getting my drinks made here, they're so tasty and are such a great price plus the donuts are fantastic!!

Love this coffee stand. Crave the doughnuts that they make fresh for you!! Smoothies kinda tasted like melted ice cream but coffee is always perfectly done and the girls are always really nice!! I highly recommend stopping by this place and seeing for yourself.

Fresh warm homemade bite sized donuts and amazing biscuits and gravy! Add the extra gravy for extra yumminess! Very friendly employees. Next time I will try their coffee drinks too.

Absolutely love this place. No matter what time of day you go there's usually a line because they are just so awesome. The line always moves quickly. Great prices and I love the plain donuts. Never had a drink from here I didn't like and the staff are just wonderful.

Love darcis! Most of the baristas are really nice but there?s a few that are pretty snotty:( it?s a bummer! I pay almost $5 for a drink so i think it should be ok if I?m particular, but these two specific girls are very unprofessional and unfriendly. I wish I knew their names..they both have dark hair and one wears big glasses. Anyway, all of the other girls are Soo nice and make a point to make sure my drink is just how I like it!!

Delicious!! Donut holes and a couple of maple bars. I'll return.

My husband and I ordered our coffee like normal only to find out they made my husband coffee was wrong. So we turned around and went back we were very nice about it but the barista was Very quick with telling us that we were wrong. I even tasted it, it was supposed to be a coconut latte not straight drip coffee. She kept saying we were wrong! That's bad customer service, you never tell the customer they are wrong when you made the drink wrong and because of this we are late to work now. You have lost a cust

All the girls are very consistent with their coffees so you know you're going to get your drink exactly the way you ordered it every time regardless of which barista you get. There is always a line here, but that's because they are that good!

This place has been around since I was a kid and I always come here if I'm in town. They really do have the best donuts and coffee ?? they make them fresh and there is almost no wait time! Be prepared to sit in a bit of a line though as this place is great and everybody knows it!

Love this place so much! Their little donuts taste deliciously home-cooked, and their variety of drinks are beyond tasty and are wildly customizable! I can't recommend this place more! Be sure to try their Italian sodas with creme!

Never had a bad experience here! The girls are always so pleasant! Great coffee and if you are hungry the donuts are a family favorite! This stand doesn't disappoint!

Loved Darci's dinky donuts. They're so delicious and inexpensive. I had the cinnamon sugar ones. The coffee and espresso drinks are great, too. Nice local Monroe espresso stand.

Great drinks at great prices ! The baristas are knowledgeable and answer questions well. Morning is the worst for wait time, but it's worth the wait. Sandwiches are excellent! Tiny donuts are too!

Darci?s is the best and is so cozy and reasonably priced. I love getting one of their mochas, some water for the road, everything I need here and the service is always friendly and nice. Thank you so much!

Great coffee and baby donuts!!

The food, staff, and drinks are amazing! The prices are very good as well, 4.25 for my drink which is nearly $5 elsewhere. I wish they would open a second location, the lines get crazy long here regularly (another way to know this is an amazing stand).

Seriously they make the very best iced white chocolate Americanos. Whatever the wait is, it's worth it.

Always friendly, great prices, delicious drinks! The donuts are very tasty too.

ABSOLUTE HIDDEN GEM!!! I stop by every time I'm in the area, sooo good! (Pro Tip: really shake the donut bag so all the cinnamon sugar coats the donuts perfectly ??)

Great place to stop for coffee and doughnuts. Friendly staff, owner operated. I've been coming here for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. If you're headed over the pass be sure to stop in for coffee and snacks. The bisquits and gravy are bomb too.

Best biscuits & gravy! I don't go for the coffee, not very strong and tastes water down. Other drinks are great tho.

If I?m feeling like a sweet drink this is where I?ll go to get a White Americano and some cinnamon sugar donuts. If you?re not a local they will serve the other customer first even if you were there before and not talk to you. Owner isn?t very friendly unless you?re an every day customer and makes it clear you?re not welcome.

I only come here for the fresh, hot, tiny donuts. Well worth it.

Been going for years. Judy is my favorite even though I don?t like favoritism! Always good service and very affordable compared to others in the town! 10/10

Fabulous coffee! Friendly baristas! Great service and low prices,I love Darci's it's my everyday coffee stop. I've never been disappointed and I've been a customer there for 13+ years.

The best coffee, treats and service! The line looks long but they do a great job getting people through, besides, it is worth the wait! Best prices in town!

OMG! Tiny warm donuts made to order! Worth the drive from city! Super cute drive thru coffee stop. Found this place on my way to a hike.

Always a treasure Darcy's Dinky's is the shiz nit.. The young lady was exceptional as they all are i live in snoqualmie if i go to Monroe i gotta go to DDD's.. Always outstanding product and service 5 stars. Willis D

One of my favorite stops! Prices are very reasonable, staff is friendly, drinks and donuts are delicious! I also recommend you try their biscuits and gravy... yum!

Amazing coffee and their red bulls are perfect! The baristas are always so friendly...been going there for years and never had a bad experience.

Has such flavorful coffee, Tea and The best darn donuts ever. Well worth the stop and the wait if there is a line. Love there vanilla chai.

Great coffee + breakfast sandwiches and nice staff. The entrance is a bit odd from the direction I come from but totally worth it!

Great everything!!!!! The baristas are so friendly and kind. Excellent coffee and their doughnuts are incredible.

Haven't had a bad coffee yet and the price is better the SB. The donuts are melt in your mouth to die for made fresh and not shipped from out of state.

Donuts are ok but were better with Raspberry dipping sauce but they stopped selling it because they said it was a distraction and ppl were getting in accidents but they continued to sell biscuits and gravy . Which should be even more distracting to eat while driving

Great coffee and their biscuits and gravy are amazing I'm not a fan of donuts but the kids loved them

Everyone here is awesome coffee and food is always great! love me some biscuits and gravy!!!

Best biscuits & gravy period. Very cheap too. Great coffee & other treats as well. I go there almost every day!

Wonder why there's always a line here year after year? It's no secret ....Darci's has THE BEST coffee/lattes/drinks around. The lines move quick and so worth the wait.

Always great coffee and smiling, friendly baristas. The hot fresh baby donuts are the icing on top of the cake!

Great little coffee shop, recommend getting a dozen donuts for 2 people, the donuts are indeed dinky and it's not hard to eat a half dozen by yourself.

Try a GIANT 33OZ Strawberry Creamsicle smoothie with Blue lotus. I dare you! Biscuits and Gravy is a must. Even if you are vegan. You should try em!

Best hot fresh little homemade donuts you ever ate the biscuits and gravy is awesome too and let's not forget about the coffee very good prices are great have no complaints the place is very busy sometimes you'll have to wait in line a couple cars but I guess that tells you something service is good coffee is good can't complain about everything five stars what's the best in Monroe as far as I'm concerned it's the best on Highway 2

The coffee here is great and their donuts are quite enjoyable. I personally like their cinnamon donuts the most.

Great coffee the way I like it. Free donuts after 2pm the day I visited. Sweet staff.

Best Espresso in town. Barista's with lots of experience. Owner, Chris runs a quality drive up with lots of extra's.

I love Darci's!! I literally stop by every day on my way to work. The ladies know me by name and what I drink!!!
