Great coffee/drinks. Friendly owner and her parents. Very thoughtful about how hot an americano is. A little on the slow side, but what do you expect when you mix coffee and philosophy?

As you enter Lincoln City from the south, you're greeted by this swell gem of a coffee shop. I love Spiced Chai and I was skeptic when I heard how amazing the Chai was at Allie's Philosophy Espresso. Let's just say, I haven't had a Chai since I've been there. Allie's Spiced Chai just had a kick like no other... More

Convenient highway access. Many coffee drinks with clever names. The mocha was delightful, but basic black coffee was watery.

We appreciate this review and are glad they enjoyed our fun menu and our great mochas. As far as the black coffee goes - coffee palates can be very subjective - and we appreciate all coffee palates - it is what makes the coffee industry so awesome! I drink the coffee everyday and consider it perfect, others drink it and... More

We stopped in for latte's and a biscoti on our way back up the coast. Wow! The coffee was excellent in sync with the great service provided by Allie herself. Usually we find these drive up coffee places to offer burnt coffee like a major coffee chain typically does. Not the case with Allie's.

Nice people, decent service, good coffee. We made it our daily stop. Make sure to get a punch card, it doesn't expire and you can use it on subsequent trips. Nice little drive-through place.

The great logician and philosopher of language Bertrand Russell is famous for his thought experiment involving a teapot floating in outer space. While I'm sure that celestial teapot contains a tasty brew, it can't possibly be as out of this world as the coffee served at Allie's Philosophy Espresso. Allie's is a classy and convenient haven for caffeine-addicted philosophy nerds... More

Allie knows how to keep customers coming back and her marketing strategies are pretty savvy also. Customers want a good product a friendly smile and efficient service. You get all of that and more at Allie's Philosophy (the "more" could be a fresh donut from a local bakery). If you sign up for her email you will also receive a... More

Allie's Philosophy Espresso is a coffee 'n' philosophy lover's dream kiosk (reading the menu alone is worth the trip). From the decadent Ancient Greeks to the well-roasted moderns, this wonderful one-stop shop for geekily-named drinks is a stand out. Allie and Adam offer enthusiastic service at totally affordable prices and encourage intellectual curiosity along the way. These kids know what... More

There are many places on the coast to get good coffee, but if you want great coffee you need to come to Allie's. They have the best Chai tea latte I have ever had and really excellent Mochas. The customer service is top notch. I am always greeted with a warm smile and always thanked for my business. Other businesses... More

I was in town visiting family for Christmas. Allie's was open! I was greeted with a warm smile and ordered a large iced caramel macchiato - WAY BETTER THAN starbucks and my husband had a sugar free mocha. The coffees were super yummy and really made our Christmas Day that much better. We both had a fresh donut too. We... More
