I was taken aback by this thai tea float! I truly never had anything like it. The ube marshmallow…read morewas toasted and paired well with the robust thai tea. I was afraid that the thai tea would be sweetened already and the soft serve would only overly sweeten it but if anything, letting the soft serve melt into the thai tea was what gave the drink it's sweetness (along with the marshmallow-like foam). It was so GOOD! I thoroughly enjoyed this drink, especially on those rare warm sunny days we get here in Western Washington. Dare I say that I dream about this float! The self-serve kiosks made ordering seamless with detailed descriptions of menu items. The servers were pleasant and friendly, immediately welcoming us into the storefront. It's a quaint store with outdoor seating. I will definitely be back especially with the Summer days approaching!

Note that they don't have dedicated parking, so plan ahead! Thai Tea x Ube Soft Serve: Both flavors came through pretty strong, but even for someone with a sweet tooth, this was painfully sweet to the point that you're mouth feels like it's drying out. Mouthfeel was fine for soft serve; I do prefer a thicker and creamier texture, but it's not bad!Would recommend sharing a cup with a few friends. Ube S'more Toast: This was surprisingly good! I didn't have high expectations for the ube marshmallow, but it was excellent. Melt in your mouth while still being fluffy, and earthy sweetness from the ube. The bread is fried nicely with a good crunch without feeling greasy and filled to the brim with smooth whipped cream. Definitely recommend the toasts over the soft serve.

Love the fact that there is validated parking underneath with high tech license plate sensors so that you don't have to dig out your license info!

I was in the area for a doctor's appointment and needed a quick coffee fix. When a spot popped up…read moreon Yelp with some great photos, I figured I'd give it a try. Parking ended up being a bit of a walk, which had me second-guessing the decision at first--but I'm glad I stuck with it. The moment I walked in, the space felt thoughtfully designed. The flow of the café is one of the best I've experienced--open, comfortable, and easy to navigate. As soon as the door opened, the barista greeted me right away. The counter is positioned close enough that you don't feel awkward hovering like in some cafés where the bar feels miles away. It immediately felt welcoming. I visited on a weekend during a slower period, but since the café sits right next to a college, I can imagine the line spilling out the door during peak hours. At quieter times though, the layout works well--there's enough space for a couple people to wait without crowding the entrance. I ordered a cortado and an almond croissant. The croissant came warmed, and the texture was spot on: fluffy, layered, and not overly greasy. The almond filling had a really nice balance--nutty with just enough sweetness and a hint of salt to round it out. I was told the pastries are made in-house, and it definitely shows. It tasted like something made with care. The cortado itself was solid--pretty classic, nothing overly fancy. One thoughtful touch I appreciated was that it came with sparkling water, which was great for cleansing the palate. The space itself is fairly spacious and works well if you want a quiet moment to sip your coffee. That said, most of the seating is high stools, so it doesn't really feel like the type of place to settle in and study for hours. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food. The one thing that caught me off guard was the price of the croissant at $6.50. It tasted great and I understand prices in this area tend to run higher, especially for house-made pastries--but it's a bit outside what I'd usually spend. So while I definitely think it's good, it might not become a regular stop for me simply due to location and budget. Still, a great find and a pleasant surprise during a routine coffee run.

Have you ever have a sandwich so good that it's literally engrained in your brain? Well their chipotle chicken panini is literally that. Perfect spicy, creamy, bready combination. Paired with the option of chips or salad the meal was absolutely perfect. The carrot ginger juice and coffee were both scrumptious! I also definitely reccomend any of their cheesy bacon, ham, or turkey croissants! Honestly any of their baked goods are so fantastic lol, definitely try out the cinnamon rolls!

I was reading the complaints about a server but I might know what is being explained. There was a server that may seem like she doesn't care but that's not the case at all I think it might be a language barrier that's all. The service was great!

This is not only unprofessional, but also incredibly disrespectful to me as his wife and to your customers in general. Instead of providing proper service, your staff is flirting with married men.

If this is considered acceptable at your establishment, we definitely won't be coming back and will not recommend this place to anyone. Please be anonymous. I don't want this story to continue.

It was rich, balanced, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. Compared to Erewhon smoothies, this one was more drinkable and less icy, which I preferred. Definitely mix it before drinking since the strawberry purée settles at the bottom and gets very sweet. The shop is cute and conveniently located in old downtown Bellevue near the park, making it an easy stop during a walk. They also let me briefly bring my dog inside while placing a takeout order, which I appreciated. For the price, it feels fair given the quality and ingredients. I'm already looking forward to trying the coconut smoothie next time.
