I've been here twice. This is a place I should keep on rotation to be honest. The food is good, it's priced well and they have a lot of specials. They have a ton of local beers on tap. Service was super attentive and it's cute and casual. During the day could definitely be a chill place to read or study. I will be back. read more

208 Garfield - Crumbs of deliciousness - Wine Bars Near Me - Parkland, Washington

We walked in and only one table had people at it so we thought cool this won't be crazy wait times. Wrong. We sat down and waited for the person to take our order. We then waited for about 45 minutes for 2 sandwiches with chips/salad and drinks. Our drinks didn't come until after our food came which we thought was weird. We asked for more water, which never came. The saving grace? The sandwiches were actually pretty good, but the wait times didn't make any sense and we don't think we would visit again for a sit down service but maybe order ahead to go if possible? read more

208 Garfield - Wine Bars Near Me - Parkland, Washington

I stopped in here after seeing reviews on Yelp. I had my heart on the beet salad they advertised on their menu. I arrived on a busy Sunday afternoon, and placed my order. I was advised it would take 15 min, which was fine. 15 minutes later, they handed me my food in a bag and I left. Fast forward to getting parked and opening my food. It was not the beet salad I ordered. It was a chicken, cauliflower, kale salad. Although it was very good, it was not what I ordered and I was very disappointed that I paid for something other than what I ordered. Of course, they asked for a tip when I ordered at the counter, and I left one....which I wish I would not have done. I am done leaving tips before I get my food. read more

Food is fine. Modest portion. Good food. Pricey. Mostly self-serve. Conveniently located not far from Pacific Lutheran University,

Finally stopped in for lunch after walking by far too many times. The service here is great, very friendly and attentive. Everyone had a smile and was prompt and helpful. When asked about menu items they were very educated and willing to answer questions and make recommendations. I was quite impressed with the food and really enjoyed my panini and soup. There were several other menu items I would love to try so I see some future visits coming. Highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try. read more

208 Garfield - Turkey Panini with Dressed Greens and Roast Sausage with Lentil Soup. - Wine Bars Near Me - Parkland, Washington

Generally enjoy. Today's trip was disappointing because I ordered two items to go and when I got home found both were incorrect. Last trip I got sour milk, but previous trips were good. Not sure if changes were made recently? read more

Great sandwich. Order at cashier and seat yourself. I was wondering how much I should tip at places that don't actually come to the table. Regardless, the sandwich was excellent so I would highly recommend. read more

Amazing food... my spouse said the BLT salad was super fresh and tasty! I had the panini with prosciutto, mozzarella and toms tomato .... Perfectly toasted and I opted for the side greens, dressed with olive oil and balsamic crema... kind and attentive service topped it off! This is a hidden gem near PLU in Tacoma... check it out! read more

I stopped by 208 Garfield for lunch with a friend and had a good time. I ordered: Penne with House Made Pesto Cream & Parmigiano-Reggiano and a hibiscus herbal tea. Everything was great and our server was kind. The inside had a nice calm atmosphere during the weekday during noon. One thing I noticed was the server was doing multiple jobs: waiting tables, making food/drinks, taking to go orders so the service was a little slower than usual. Overall: I recommend if you are in the area. I would love to come back to try out more of the menu! read more

Panini (prosciutto tomato fresh mozzarella) was very good and fresh, kids grilled cheese was fantastic option for kids and soup ( Field Roast sausage, lentils, and kale) was hearty and good-went great with side of bread. read more

Words cannot describe how much I appreciate that I live only like 10 minutes away. This place is so nice; I love the vibe, the menu, the service, everyone who works there is so sweet, patient, and helpful in times when you're indecisive like me lol A couple personal favorites of mine are the white bean spread starter, the pesto and mozzarella panini, the chicken and kale salad, and of course, their bread pudding for dessert. Omg and the charcuterie boards! Did I mention they do happy hour? It's the perfect place to go study if you're a busy student, or if you wanna catch up one on one with a friend in a chill, peaceful setting, this is the place to go! It's a 10/10 for me read more

Enjoying being a big kid with my fancy pants grilled cheese with avocado, spring mix, onion tomato and ranch, Zucchini bread, OJ AND a grilled Nutella sammy with gummy bears ... and to answer your question, yes I did add the gummy bears to the inside of my Nutella Sammich because again, I am a child at heart, and to answer your next question, no I'm not sorry ! :P First time trying 208 Garfield and it most certainly will not be my last! Their menu has creative and mostly healthier options that fit a variety of lifestyles. If you want a sandwich best believe they got 'em, soup ? They got it, Baked goods? You bet your sweet patootie ! If you're vegetarian or vegan you can easily find something here and your carnivore friends *ROAR* should be able to find an option that'll make them happy too so REJOICE! I didn't feel like eating meat tonight so this grilled cheese panini was a fantastic option but I will definitely give one of their turkey paninis a try soon and it's highly likely I will get the grilled Nutella and zucchini bread again as they were such tasty treats. I don't know what brand the gummy bears that came with the Nutella sandwich were but they were big, soft and insanely good... none of that puny hard to chew Haribo BS ! In conclusion, I really dig this place! It's already becoming one of my fave restaurants around the Parkland/Tacoma area. Check 'em out ... if you're a big kid like me who likes Bougie grilled cheese, Nutella and gummy bears (among other things) you won't be disappointed! ;) read more

I was in the mood for a sandwich. After visiting Mt. Rainer. This place is so good. We had tomato soup that was like my grandmas gravy cooking on a Sunday. And a prosciutto deParma, sweet onion and Cambozola cheese grilled. So good. Gooey cheese always makes me happy. My son had an awesome Caesar Salad w prosciutto chips so good. And penne pesto cream pasta w toasted pine nuts. So very good. Water here is great. The store is off the main road so quiet and good parking in the back. The waitstaff is great too. A good place to try if you're in the area. read more

Came in for a quick bite around 5pm. It was not busy, only one other person dining in when I arrived. I ordered the grilled cheese blt with side salad, a side of chips and glass of the blended wine. Wine was good, smooth and not sweet. Sandwich was ok, I don't think I would get again. I really liked the side salad. The side of chips came out warm and very lightly salted. My waitress was very friendly and checked on my table a few times while I was there. One thing I noticed was a few tables had crumbs and no one cleaned them the hour I was there. I also got the zucchini bread to go and we found it a bit too sweet. read more

This place is so close to campus with amazing food and the friendliest people work there.

Cute little place, though odd location. I was introduced to it by a friend and the BEST! Great atmosphere for brunch, lunch, or early dinner. Servers were kind and helpful, making sure they had the carmel corn in stock for our appetizer. We got sandwiches and bubbly drinks! Lots of yummy vegan and vegetarian options. Good quality food for the prices. Definitely coming back with my husband to have another great meal! read more

Loved this place! Stopped in for lunch with a coworker and really enjoyed our experience. The service included polite, personable, and attentive staff members and the food was unique and flavorful. I ordered the beet salad and could not have been happier with my order. I highly recommend the lavender lemonade and almonds to start! There is sometime magical about their almonds. Cheers! read more

Everything we had was delicious. My favorite being the sausage lentil & kale soup. I will definitely be back for more of that soup. Comfortable atmosphere and great service. So glad we came across this place, a total gem read more

It's not like a sit down restaurant and a waitress comes over. It's like a fast food place. You order and pick it up. Not my cup of tea. We walked in and turned right around. Food smelled delicious though. It's like a little college hang out place. read more

This restaurant has a lot of interesting flavors, dishes you won't see elsewhere and a ton of vegetarian & vegan options! Highly recommend trying this for Brunch/Lunch/Dinner dates! read more

Great menu with creative and interesting dishes, many modifications listed for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free. Ingredients are local, fresh and high quality. I had the crispy rice and quinoa avocado salad with a tahini dressing - it was filling and so good. Our party had paninis, sandwiches and the BLT salad also. The sides included house made warm chips and salad with house made dressing. Desserts looked amazing too. Everyone was completely satisfied with their food. Price was very reasonable for a party of 4. The only downside is they seemed unorganized in terms of service - all the tables were dirty when we went in and one had to be cleaned for us to sit, and we had to flag servers down as we needed things mid-meal. read more

The best place around here! Owned by PLU I believe but they have the best menu and food. My favorite lil place around. Very good food. Everything on the menu is interesting and everything I've ever had was delicious! read more

Chill vibe, good beer and wine selections, friendly student server, great sandwiches. Definitely a go-to near Pacific Lutheran University.

This place is amazing! The ambience is great, but the food and service are what really sets it apart. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by two friendly staff behind the counter. They have great knowledge of the product and were very helpful. Food was delicious and loved the presentation. All in all, a great experience and really recommend! read more

208 Garfield - Penne and vanilla latte - Wine Bars Near Me - Parkland, Washington

Food and drinks were good. New hire was our waitress which she did good but after we ordered something she turned around and mouthed "oh my god" to her co workers which is super offensive and we felt like crap after that and only wanted to leave. read more

The service was amazing. Such nice people and made good recommendations. Food for price was excellent. We went when it was busy so very relaxing. read more

The food was not worth the price. I payed 23$ for the most mid panini of my life and a salad with a very strange dressing. The staff was incredible kind though, and made my order very fast even though they were busy. The cafe was very full and seating was limited but it was clean and friendly. Overall probably wouldn't go here again because you could get way better food for a much lower price very easily. But for what it was, it was decent. read more

Get pizza from here quite often. Service is great and so is the ambience - kinda college/family atmosphere. Would recommend to others!

The paninis and charcuterie are really very good and fresh. However, I do not recommend the coffee. It is very bitter, and the salads are a bit plain. The cafe has a nice look to it, though the wooden chairs are uncomfortable. Service is very slow, and it can be frustrating. Do not expect anyone to come to your table to check on you. I like to order my food to-go for this reason. read more

This is the place you want to go to!! Want a cafe vibe with a causal and relaxed atmosphere? Want to enjoy the sun and eat some quality food? Then this is the place for you!! Wonderful food, wonderful service! Food was fresh and delicious at a reasonable cost! Can't thank the staff enough for being so amazing and sweet! Can't wait to eat there again! read more

Great food,value and people . I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant. The coffee was great too

Best Kale chicken salad EVER! I wish I could replicate the recipe, but honestly I haven't even tried. I also recently discovered their bread pudding bites, D-lish! read more

Ate here four times now, first couple times I would give them 4 stars. The first time, the server was very helpful with answering questions about certain food items and the second time was good too. I enjoyed the panini with lingonberry, pesto something panini twice(: My hot chocolate was quite late... on its arrival but other than that all was well. The first time, they ran out of the pudding bites so we had the gelato thing, which was missing lemon zest on top (according to my friend). We requested some lemon zest and it made everything better! They did have the pudding bites in stock the second time I went there so I tried it out. I dislike deep-fried foods and I don't know if the pudding bites are dunked in oil but dipping in the caramel sauce made everything better(: I can't wait to go back and try something new! Okay, so I decided I really like their pesto penne! Mmmm. The reasons for adding minor details to this review is solely for my "list" purpose. I decided to create a Happy Hour list and this is one of the places I enjoy coming for Happy Hour! I don't think I have to list the prices and such on my own review; just go to their website. Anyways, the last few times I came, I didn't plan on coming during happy hour but it just happened so! I REALLY love their happy hour. On top of their normal prices being fairly low, their happy hour is even better! The portions are perfect for me too! Now, if you are a hungry hungry hippo... one plate will not do you any good. I suppose this would be my first to go on the Happy Hour Adventures list! read more

Love this place. A pleasant surprise with a different menu! Love their Panzanella Salad! Great service! Grab a friend and go. Not your normal eatery! read more

Where do I start. Amazing food, amazing service! I had the crispy rice and quinoa salad and a beer flight! My husband had the bacon grilled cheese with farmhouse white cheese, arugale, tomato and he added avocado. The stout on tap is amazing! They also sell the San Juan Island Selters which are so amazing! Our server was Sid and she was amazing! read more

Love this coffee shops. One of my regulars I visit to catch up with friends all the time. Their coffee is creamy with the milk which I enjoy. It's a very relaxed and chill place to do work or hang out with a friend. The employees are always friendly and are always willing to help if you don't understand some of the ingredients in the food items. They have good food but they are on the pricey side. Update: went in the other day to do homework and I was waiting for my almond milk caramel macchiato to go. The issues I had on this visit. Firstly, the lady charged me $4.25 for a 12 oz, I paused $3.25 for a 16oz last time and it was the same drink!! Every time I go the pricing is completely different. Secondly, as I was waiting for my drink I heard one of the baristas saying, "omg who orders almond milk in any drinks, that's just disgusting". I was really shocked to overhear this and she said it pretty loud too. I get my overpriced drink and I taste it and it was with regular milk. I can definelty taste the difference between regular milk and almond milk. I was already disturbed by the price. I should of said something but not coming back for a while. read more
