Such a gem! This place doesn't look like much outside but it is so lovely inside. Perfect spot to meet a friend for coffee or sit and study. They have amazing coffee, tasty drinks like Ube and Matcha lattes and fun Korean food. read more

Absolutely divine place. Food has been consistent and I always come in for the coffee and to get some work done in an esthetically pleasing and warm environment. read more

It was cold, wet and dreary outside and us with warm thoughts of a tasty Latte and Americano drawing us to try a quaint shop. It was pretty packed and they seemed to be shorthanded. Think two people were working the shop. The guy taking orders was apparently new and still learning product details. We ordered and shared a big table with another guest (only space available inside). The table was sticky, not cleaned and it took a while before getting our drinks. Sadly, with this first impression, it'll not be our first choice to visit again. read more

That Honey Toast OMG mind blowing!!! The service is always great and fast. The ambiance is great and chill. I only wish they were bigger and had more tables. read more

Lovely coffee shop. A cute place to go for korean treats such as shaved ice and waffles. Assorted coffees and teas, as well as healthier food options available (salad/sandwiches). We ordered a strawberry Italian soda, tasted exactly the way it did when I was younger. Had an iced Americano, strong and not watered down, great! Lastly a yogurt bing soo. Some of the fruit were pre-frozen and some will be fresh from the taste of it. We accidentally ordered the large and had way too much of it leftover... melting. They add chocolate syrup & whipped cream to it, so if you're not a fan make sure to say something prior. read more

I am waiting to post this review because so far I have only tried their drinks and the Korean shaved ice (patbingsoo) but I really want to try their waffle! Looks so good. I also know someone who works there and always ask her what I should drink, since I always drink the same stuff. When I go to Starbucks [even on a cold day] I want a Green Tea "something". Of course I don't really want "Green Tea" so I end up getting the Green Tea Frappuccino. But she told me ... she can make a hot version! I tried it and it was quite sweet but a little powdery in taste. Another tea I tried here was the Earl Grey? I have heard of it plenty but never really tried it until she made me a cup. That was quite an intriguing experience I'd say. I would say, a year later- I finally tried their waffle! It is the most delicious dessert waffle I have ever tried! No whip cream please, the fresh berries balance out the sweetness of the waffle with tartness that is fun to eat. I just tried their Green Tea Patbingsoo as well and it isn't really anything special other than a scoop of green tea ice cream on top of fresh fruit and other sides on the shaved ice. Either way, I liked the waffle and come frequently so I got to eat it some more! read more

Great quaint coffee shop. It's tucked away behind the 7-11 on S Tacoma Way; don't speed up or you'll miss it. The neighborhood is a bit hoodish, not in the greatest part of T-Town. However, the review: Interior is decked up and inviting. Friendly and helpful staff. Great selection of coffees, dessert drinks and the all favorite patbingsoo. I like that they offer three different sizes to the Bingsoo. The ice is a bit inconsistent, some chunks and some smooth like snow flakes. The ice was completely flavored and not a bit of ice was not covered with sweetness. Generous portions of patt, fruits and syrup. The accompanying ice cream was generous in size. If you are new to this Korean dessert, I would recommend you get the small size and of each flavor, so you can taste the variety of goodness and decide on your go to. It's all good!!! I highly recommend you give this joint a try and don't be turned off by the neighborhood!! read more

The cutest little cafe! the interior felt very clean and cozy. We ordered the grapefruit ade, ube latte, and honey almond toast! the drinks were very delightful and refreshing! but overall the toast was the star of the show, it was like a cinnamon roll met french toast with a scoop of ice cream, but not to sweet it was just perfect! The lady at the counter was very helpful, and recommended me the grapefruit ade which i do not regret at all! Definitely check this place out! read more

So I saw this shop out of the corner of my eye while driving to gravity coffee stand in S Tacoma Way, I like to support smaller businesses, so I thought "why not?" And boy am I happy I stopped in. Super cute ambiance, the barista was so sweet and humble as well as inviting and great at his job, the coffee was DELICIOUS!! I got a black sugar latte and added white chocolate, it was the perfect amount of sweetness , perfect temp, perfect amount of foam with a nice little artistic heart in the foam. After tasting the coffee I decided to try a Nutella filled taiyaki ( fish shaped pastry). This was also to die for. I will be coming back to try more of the menu and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere. This would be a great place to work on a project or read a book read more

This is definitely one of my favorite places to go to for a Korean treat. They have a variety of patbingsu flavors to chose from and everything is so yummy! My only complaint would be that service is super slow and the facility isn't that large so sometimes you'll have a crowd waiting or random people standing, waiting to be seated. I also noticed that the last time I came in to order, they didn't put any dduk in the patbingsu. Epic fail because that's my favorite! So far, the food and drinks have been great too! I think the taste compensates for the slow service. read more

I always love coming here. When I first came here I loved the cute DIY aroma and setting. It for well with the adorable food placement and everything. The place is one of the best. They do take a bit longer to bring out the food, but once it comes out, it always seems to be worth it. I love the food, the coffee, and the desserts. It isn't a place for a full meal, but for a little short time needs of brunch or a small meal, it js a perfect place. read more

The dessert waffles are great delicious and good size serving. The toasts are HUGE! Next time I order the toast I'll need to add extra scoops of whip cream and ice cream to it because the bread became dry after a while. The honey almond toast tasted just like churro. Both items are very tasty but I would prefer them both to have more scoops of whip cream or ice cream and an option to add that on grub hub (for some reason you can not add extra fillings online) otherwise both are good for the price. **update** I requested an extra scoop of ice cream in my notes and they were SO KIND as to add it to my order and. Not charge me this is the second time I've ordered from them and their dessert waffles never disappoint delivery via grub hub was on time and plating was excellent. I'll be a continuous customer from here on out read more

What a sweet spot! Super cute and very nice staff. Came in for green tea latte and oatmilk latte and both were great. I loved how sunny and bright the space was. Seems like a great place to work on stuff if you need light to keep you going. (Some places are like caves!) A plus for plants! read more

The bingsoo (shaved iced) looked beautiful, but tasted ok. The ice is way too coarse, so I didn't enjoy it as much. The sweet potato latte was interesting and had a nice flavor. Was it supposed to be a little grainy, or did they need to blend it better? I feel like it could be more blended. read more

If your looking for a good cup of coffe (not burn coffe bean, or watered down coffe) this is one of the best places on south Tacoma way. Be prepared for slow cup of coffe this is a coffe shop where they take time to make it right. The only negative is that they open later 10 am I think. read more

Great service and coffee. Latte was great and taste good. Cozy interior will make you very relaxed !

Just as one should never judge a book by its cover, don't judge the Coffee Kitchen by its storefront. It's located in a dreary little strip mall (aren't they all dreary?) behind a corner 7-11. But step inside and you'll be greeted by the smell of good coffee and delighted by a cheerful gathering space. The atmosphere is warm, open and bright. The music is low key and the conversations were quiet while we worked (free WiFi). Plus, the americanos were perfect and priced well. Our cookie was delicious. We'll definitely be back! I want to try their waffles and affogato (espresso over ice cream.) read more

This is my second time at this establishment. First time all I had was a hot ginger tea, which was awesome. Today I got the ginger tea and the dessert waffle. My wife opted for the croffle. Both dishes were great. The place is very clean and has a warmth to it from the choice of decorations used. The employees are friendly and courteous. Thank you for a very pleasant experience. read more

Loved it very hidden and cute . I got a strawberry milk and it was delicious 16ox was more than enough. Definitely will be going back to try different stuff. read more

I'm a sucker for good atmosphere. So, I'll start there. I love the decorations and vibe of this place. It's really clean. I know this may be weird that I'm mentioning that but it's so meticulously clean that I'd be doing this place a injustice if I didn't mention it. It's decorated pleasantly and the small space couldn't have been utilized better. Every corner and wall has a purpose. I love that. The ambience was spot on. "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson was playing while I was waiting for my order which made me truly love the good feeling, chill vibe. They also took a really big ventilation shaft in the middle of the room that could be a huge eye soar, and put a light brick outside style fireplace wallpaper on it. I didn't even realize it was a vent until I was standing there waiting, and I was purposely looking for details about the place. Anyone who wasn't looking probably wouldn't have even noticed. That smart interior decorating decision in itself makes me appreciate the owners of this cute little shop even more. Okay, next let's get to the coffee. I ordered a mocha frappe. Can't really go wrong with this one. It was yummy and I liked how the barista put both mocha syrup and chocolate flakes on the whip cream. The food choices look really good too. Not too much to choose from, but I think they were smart with the hot food they decided to serve: caprese, grilled cheese and turkey & avocado sandwiches. All around smart decisions. Its in the Asian part of the shopping center so I was tricked by the outside demeanor. Sometimes when I go to Asian influenced restaurants, or coffee shops the Asian presence is overwhelming. (I'm part Asian so I'm truly just coming from a place of honesty. LOL) This place however does an amazing job at mixing the Korean culture with the small town coffee shop vibe. Really impressed by this place and will definitely come back! read more

Cute aesthetic, delicious food, friendly staff. What more could you ask for?! My 9 year old and I just happened upon this place and we are so glad we did.

This is hands down the cutest coffee place I've ever been to!! Not only is the decor inside cute and cozy, but the service, drinks, and food are great! I always order the patbingsoo and it never fails to disappoint me! It has the right ratio of everything: red bean, mochi, shaved ice, fruit, and ice cream. Other patbingsoo places I go to don't have all the things I have listed, so I'm happy I finally found a place that makes traditional patbingsoo. I ordered the dessert waffles and green tea latte (with cute foam art included) in the past, and both were great! This is a great place to study or catch up with your friends, so I recommend everyone to come here! :) read more

The cafe itself and its service was nice and friendly. Small cozy and comforting kind of get a modern feel with the art pieces along the walls and the decor. A hidden gem along an Asian American strip mall makes a wondering cafe. Yes there is 1 employee most of the time so I do understand why wait times can be long with big groups but non the less it was fast when I went alone. Options vary between espresso to tea as well from sandwiches to breakfast/dessert waffles and Honey Toast! I had a drip coffee iced because initially I asked for cold brew and they did not have that so she recommended it. Also had the Caprese Panini with a side salad with balsamic vinegar. The Sandwich was simple and delicious for just being Tomato, Pesto, Mozzarella and a ton of black pepper so yes it's vegetarian which is always a plus. I'm not an expert coffee drinker and sandwich maker but what it comes down to is yes I would come here again and yes I will tell others and bring others here. read more

Delicious and decadent! Friendly and quick staff, adorable decor, perfect for a treat.

Coffee kitchen is a good solid dessert spot with a variety of options. There is the dessert waffle, sandwiches with salad, korean Bread and more.... drinks, teas and coffee. Everything is tasty and everything tastes well made. Although this is a prominently korean cafe there are so many other ethnicities that walk through the door and claim this place to be delish! You will not feel uncomfortable walking in but only welcomed. There is enough room to come here with friends or to study alone and or come on your first date. PROS: parking is good!! They have their own lot, good desserts, affordable CONS: closed on Sundays! read more

I'm absolutely in love with this coffee shop & was so happy to find out it was only three minutes from work! Thanks to YELP! Everything I had was just delicious and the ambiance of the shop was great! I was just WOWED with the Coffee Affogato, My breakfast waffle, My tea j had to go, and the decor! Everything and I mean everything was just too prettty! You'll definitely her hour GRAM pic here! I never had a coffee affogato so I just got the small size and I really wanted to get another one, but I wanted to try their tea too so I held back. I like how the waffle wasn't too sweet, but perfect I didn't even need syrup! The owner George was amazing! He worked the cashier and made the drinks. So kudos to him. He was also very helpful with the questions we asked and he's a good photographer too! Lol. He will get the angles for you! Definitely can't wait to come back in for my coffee affogato! read more

My friend and I ordered the regular sized green tea pat bing soo (Korean shaved ice) it includes green tea shaved ice and ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, mochi, fresh bananas, strawberries, blueberries and kiwi. I told them I'm allergic to kiwi and they accommodated very well. I really liked that the actual shaved ice was flavored with green tea and that fresh fruits were used instead of fruits cooked with syrup. Very cute place and easy to find! If you're ever in Lakewood hit this place up. read more
