“We had their sausage egg sandwich on brioche buns. They were super hot and tasty. The coffee drinks used great chocolate in the mocha and a creme brûlée latte with their caramel whipped cream! We were at their newest location on Ruston and the barista was hustling to keep up with the business.“

“This was probably the very first boba place I ever tried in WA back in 2004. I love them and always seem to come back multiple times a year, they keep their menu simple. Since 2004, there are now many places you can get boba drinks from. This is the best in the immediate area. I also like when boba places seal their drinks on the top like they do.

Kid-friendliness: I do wish they had smaller sizes for the kids.“

“Steeped in Comfort Bakery is an absolute gem! Their baked goods are fresh and delicious, with a great variety to choose from. The sandwiches are thoughtfully made, packed with flavor, and perfect for a quick lunch or a leisurely meal. The real standout is their High Tea Sunday Brunch – such a charming experience with amazing treats. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a spot that does it all, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I wanted to get some coffee and decided to try the Rosewood since it's close to home. What a great place. The coffee was great. The wait staff were professional, friendly, and prompt. They went out of their way, especially Elijah, to make sure we were having a good experience. We will be back. I highly recommend this place.“

“Kat was wonderful! We’re from out of state and she was such a kind soul to chat with on our way out to the ocean! Thanks for the good vibes today! 🤙“

“The chips were on the thinner side which I like. I was nearly falling asleep at any moment after a long day, and the chips alone seemed to be just the fuel that I needed to make me feel much better! The salsa was also nice. I liked the consistency that was the right combination between smooth and chunky. I also thought it was a good amount of spiciness, and I didn't even ask if they had a spicier option like I do a lot of the time.“

“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!“

“Recently stumbled upon this HIDDEN GEM. I heard that they opened not too long ago.

This was my second visit and I got their new Brown Sugar Milk and added Boba into it (super good and aesthetically pleasing as well).

They recently just updated their interior with a brand new bench and wow the place is really coming together. I can see myself coming here after playing some basketball or just sit here and study to enjoy the cozy cafe vibes. You guys gotta check it out!“
