“I visited this spot today for the first time with my friend and I enjoyed my root beer mocha and the bagel. Loved the pink inside it brightens up the mood and pink makes me happy!!! can't wait to try the other drinks !!“

“This place was awesome! The best customer service, great tasting everything. Such a great atmosphere. I’ll be a regular. I’m just mad I’ve lived so close and didn’t know about it sooner!“

“Delicious cake for my daughters birthday. Creative and so well done.“

“bomb big an I mean big sandwiches. second time having my husband pick up our order. talk about good. if you love sandwiches this is the place to go. think I'm playing when I say big, just you wait an see. you will thank me later🖤“

“My first time visiting....We had a Mother/Daughter day and she took me to this lovely coffee shop off of Ruston way...the coffee was hot and tasty...but the Dill Chedder Cheese Sones were so flaky and delicious...I can't wait to go back...“

“Amazing place, tasty food, friendly smiles. Love this Cafe!“

“I enjoyed the BLT, very tasty!“

“On a personal mission to try all their flavors in mini pancakes and crepes. Once you step foot into their cafe, you’re transported from Pac Ave into a little oasis filled with greens, color and aromas as pleasant as the service. Forever going to be obsessed with the banana pudding latte. Pictured is that with the Biscoff crepe and pistachio dream pancakes. Don’t let the Pac Ave location deter you, this place is quaint and adorable with great service, drinks and food.“

“We have lived in several places and have tried lots of places here and elsewhere that sold banh mi sandwiches but these are the best banh mi sandwiches we have had! We think they might make their own buns because they are so very tasty and just as good as the fresh baguettes we had when we lived in France! The sandwich ingredients are fresh and flavorful and we especially love the wonderful paté they include on them, unless you tell them you are vegetarian or vegan. They make the paté themselves and it is also as delicious as any we used to have in France! We like their rice bowls too. If you haven’t been to the “Toast Mi”…located in Lacey…we highly recommend seeking it out and giving it a try. If you like banh mi sandwiches, you will be happy that you did!“

“This is a perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon. The indoor space is spacious and inviting and the outdoor area is really well put together. I love the view of the fountain and being able to watch the golfers. The service has always been great every time I’ve gone. The baristas are attentive and friendly. I’ll be back!“

“We visited Three Hearts for lunch during our recent trip to Washington. I got the steak sandwich on gluten free bread with french fries and my husband got the chicken sandwich with fries as well as a mocha. I loved how thinly cut the steak was on the sandwich and the flavor combo was delicious. My husband liked the flavors on the chicken sandwich but thought the bread was too thick. The mocha was delicious. The food seemed really clean as I felt great after. The person who took our order was not that friendly, but everyone else we talked to who worked there was kind and helpful.“

“my favorite coffee stand. the biscuits and gravy is my favorite but all of their food is super good. excellent drinks as well best lavender latte I've had.“

“Food was excellent! All three of us loved what we got (Pesto Panini, French Dip, and Rosewood Deluxe). Our server was very nice as well, no complaints there. The reason I removed a star was because of how loud it was. It was very hard to hear, I think because there’s basically no soft surfaces to absorb noise. I’ve heard of places adding acoustic foam to the bottom of chairs, they should maybe consider that.“

“Thanks for the personal reply from the business owner!! Looking forward to enjoying a coffee next time!!

Hours are wrong on Google, walked all the way down and sadly couldn’t get a coffee. I’m sure it’s a lovely spot.“

“First order: I was really excited. The portions felt on par with what I would expect for the cost, and most importantly, the meals seemed fresh. The flavors were really good and packaged well. As someone who hates leftovers, I really enjoyed my first order. I would have given 4/5 stars.

My second order this week, not so much. (Maybe I ordered the wrong things this week). The breakfast portions were small (I was still hungry afterward), and the quality didn’t feel the same as the week before. The scrambled eggs with asparagus turned the eggs slimy and brown—not the most appealing. Dinners during the second week were decent but included fillers, like what appeared to be canned green beans. More roasted broccoli would have felt better, in my opinion.

So it depends on the week, I guess. I already ordered for next week, so we’ll see. I’ll update my review if the quality improves. I would order again for convenience (I’m currently postpartum, so having premade meals is super helpful!), but for this price point, I would expect the quality to stay consistent or improve.“

“great place to go to school and the staff and faculty are great folks, and the campus is one of the most beautiful around. I know I work here! Bear“

“They live up to their name! If I could give 100 stars I would. The staff is amazing and the drinks are the best around!“

“Yesterday we tried the dirty soda with Root Beer, Caramel and Irish Cream. It was phenomenal! We stopped and got one and then we stopped again on the way home so my husband could try it. Please make these a permanent menu item.“

“I ordered the chicken spinach avocado on sour dough 😋 I can't express how delicious this sandwich was. I love this place great food and people 10 out 5 🌟“

“I love the local personal touch! The flowers and gift exceeded my expectations, plus excellent service. Rhapsody is my go-to florist now.“

“A humble sized cafe with a lot of nice options - sandwiches, coffee and/or soup. All a bit tempting if not that I am watching the weightloss of my wallet.
What really doesnt help with the wallet's weightloss is the beautiful artful decoration and environment.
The staff bring out orders to the table even when they are super busy.
This place and the rating and the staff deserves nothing less than 5 stars!“

“I love all of these ladies, they absolutely make my day every time I come for coffee! And the coffee is amazing too!“

“best cappuccino and cake good severs good vibes and clans and tide the best very been for my birthday we come back again ty“

“Spotted this place on our way through Tacoma and so glad we stopped! Got the taro strawberry with oat milk — creamy, layered, and beautifully balanced between the nutty taro and fruity strawberry. Also tried the mango lychee, which was refreshing and perfectly sweet without being sugary. Both drinks were gorgeous to look at and even better to drink. Cute aesthetic inside too, with a “there’s no place like Jodo” neon sign that’s perfect for pics. Hands down some of the best boba we’ve had — highly recommend!“

“I had an engagement session near this Anthem so we went in! I challenged the baristas with making a heart on top of a latte to be used for a photo! They kindly did it free of charge with repurposed grounds! I absolutely loved the outcome! Great atmosphere!“

“A huge shoutout to The Museum of Glass! We can’t thank you enough for your amazing support of Norpoint Soccer Club’s Annual Fundraising Auction. Your generosity is making a real difference in the lives of kids in our community, giving them the chance to enjoy soccer and providing access to better equipment. We’re so grateful for your kindness and support—you truly are the best!“

“my favorite coffee stand. the biscuits and gravy is my favorite but all of their food is super good. excellent drinks as well best lavender latte I've had.“

“very good drinks and nice employees first time there we like the art stuff“

“Best hot chocolate ever!!!!“

“I attended an event the Tacoma Chapter NAACP held at the Jazzy's cafe in Tacoma. This was my first time at this establishment. The event was well attended by NAACP members from Alaska, Oregon and Washington. DJ TV Lee a well known DJ from Washington provided music. The establishment is small but everyone had a good time. This is a nice place to have lunch maybe dinner and drinks. Recommend people check it out. Employees very professional as well as the owner.“

“cool place. friendly customer service. the food is great!!“

“My typical order is the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The grilled cheese reminds me of the classic grilled cheese from my childhood, and the American cheese they use tastes very similar to Kraft. The workers are always so friendly and recognize their regulars, which makes the experience even better. Love them!“

“This is a treasure spot for truckers passing through and local warehouse workers. A very friendly old Korean Christian couple running this place the wife is the cook. Food is made fresh when ordered. The menu is simple. I ordered the breakfast, bacon egg hash browns and toast portion is perfect and everything on the plate was delicious. Talk about quality, it's as good as it can be. I definitely recommend this place.“

“A classic diner with all day breakfast and tasty American staples. Serves mostly older clients which makes for a quiet and peaceful atmosphere making it perfect for both relaxing solo dining and casual weekend lunch with friends. Lovely deserts that I'd recommend even if you're only getting them to go.“

“My husband and I have been eating at Nordstrom's Cafe for years. The food is always great and service is usually good. We feel the quality of the food and the clean, updated interior warrants the higher food prices. However, after shopping the Anniversary sale my husband and I went to lunch at Nordstrom's and we both were disappointed that the Cafe is now using paper napkins and not cloth napkins. I know it's not a big deal to some but it feels like another Nordstrom's downgrade. Just like losing the piano player and the customer service center/gift wrap. Remember those beautiful silver boxes with the bows? Or how every clerk walked around the counter to hand you your Nordstrom bag. Those days are gone....we find ourselves shopping there less.....“

“Friendly & Personal service. The drink menu is great and the guys always offer a suggestion. Also, if your in at the right time, one young man will be singing his heart out to whatever music is playing.“

“My wife and sister in laws favorite!“

“I ordered the tteokbokki and halgatteok, and it was delicious! I love the variety in what they serve and all the different delicious things you can get. However the service was definitely questionable?.. it felt slow and sometimes you'd ask for something and they'd make you feel like dumb for asking I don't know. overall service is a bit slow and unprofessional but the food is delicious and I'll definitely be coming back regardless! Super good“
