About this app

FONTÉ's story begins in 1992 in the Pacific Northwest coffee capital of the world — Seattle, WA. It was here that founder and owner Paul Odom followed his passion and started Fonté Coffee Roaster. Our name is Italian for source. We help coffee lovers brew the freshest cup of coffee.

HAND ROASTED. While serviceable methods of digital control exist for the roasting of coffee and offer attractive production efficiency, they have yet to demonstrate the ability to react to the nuances of varying coffee condition and character. Fonté achieves higher standards by hand roasting every batch. We take pride in roasting our specialty beans—not light, medium, or dark—but to the fullest flavor profile and expression.

FRESH ROASTED. Recognizing that coffee beans are perishable, we developed a signature roast program where Fonté ships freshly roasted coffee sealed in packaging with one-way freshness valves to ensure top quality at delivery.

UPTOWN ESPRESSO was established in Seattle in 1984 at the bottom of historic and swanky Queen Anne Hill. A pioneer in the emerging Seattle coffee scene, Uptown soon built an avid following of discerning coffee drinkers who discovered a remarkable experience. An experience made possible by expert baristas, a proprietary coffee roast, hand-made bakery treats, a cool and comfortable atmosphere, and something called Velvet Foam. After Dow Lucurell’s passing last July 2018, Paul Odom — Fonté Coffee Roaster owner — acquired Uptown Espresso. Today, with 6 locations throughout Seattle, Uptown Espresso continues a devotion that includes an attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Ratings and reviews

Has always been a crapshoot whether the shop will get my order, even though the money always came out of my account. Recently tried to add a second payment card, and the app seems to accept it but then it never shows up under forms of payment. Taking my money and delivering my order are the only two things this app needs to do, and it cannot manage either.

You can't really modify your drinks in the app- I order a white chocolate lavender mocha in store, but there is no way to order that in the app. I can add "syrup flavor" but can't specify which flavor, and there is no spot to leave a note for the barista. I've stopped using the app because of this.

I wish there were more options for iced drinks, maybe another tab like the syrup flavors tab, with options for light ice or no ice. I prefer light ice with my drink so I don't end up with a watered down drink when I finish drinking it a few hours after I got it. Gonna order my drinks in person for now :)
