Vibes. I came here on a mini road trip and was craving a breakfast sandwich and this place did not disappoint. Probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. I'm inspired to try and make this at home. The toast is almost like Texas toast and I'm all about that. We ordered and not even five minutes later our entire order was ready, so they are very quick!
Love the ambiance here seating is limited it's small & when it's busy there's hardly indoor seating I'm assuming when it's warmer that they offer outdoor seating ? Staff was nice & fast they accidentally charged me for two drinks & told me to keep the second drink I low key was stoked but struggled to finish them lol They offer sandwiches & I ordered their grilled cheese it was one of the best I've had in a long time. I ant to come back & try their breakfast sandwiches.
Strawberry matcha and egg sandwich were both very delicious. The egg sandwich was the star for me super fluffy eggs, fresh lettuce, and the bread was perfectly toasted. Everything came together really well and made it a standout. The strawberry matcha was refreshing and nicely layered. Once mixed, it had a great balance of sweet and earthy flavors. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to choosing a sandwich. The shop itself has a clean, cozy vibe, and the presentation of both the food and drink was on point. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.
Finally tried Just Cuz Cafe after hearing all the hype for it the past year. This might become a new go to spot for me! The drinks and food were great, the staff was super friendly, and the whole vibe inside was upbeat and fun. I love a cafe with a little chatter and energy. Prices were reasonable and everything came out fresh and hot. I ordered the Banana Match and Egg Banh Mi, and my partner ordered the Mango Freeze and Turkey Pesto. Everything hit the spot. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu!
Just Cuz Cafe is a Vietnamese-themed cafe located in Lacey, a short walk from Saint Martin's University. The parking situation is a bit limited in the area, but manageable. There are street parking and a parking lot behind the complex the cafe is located in. Do be mindful where you park because it looks like this parking lot is meant for residents living in the apartments in this area. I noticed there were some other parking lots nearby that were quite spacious but might have been for other businesses in the other. I have been wanting to visit this cafe for a while and finally decided to over the weekend. I rarely ever go down south of Tacoma, so it was a nice change of scenery. It was a bit busier than I expected it to be at 11:20AM on a Sunday. However, my sister and I were able to snag a table after placing our order with the cashier/barista. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte for myself while my sister ordered a regular Matcha Latte. We both ordered our own Bacon Eggsential sandwiches as a little breakfast/brunch item. The Bacon Eggsential is a sandwich made with bacon, soft scrambled eggs, garlic croissant toast, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, sweet mayo, and chives. The sandwiches were SO GOOD. It was truly worth the $14 for the sandwich. It was a lot bigger than we expected, too. It was honestly a bit intimidating when it was brought out to us. It was beautifully crafted and plated up to show the softness of the scrambled eggs and melted cheese. The drinks were good, better than some other matcha places I have tried for sure. I liked that the cups were on the bigger side too. If there is one thing I recommend ordering, it's the Bacon Eggsential sandwich! If you aren't a bacon fan, there is one without bacon!
The workers were welcoming and kind took my order with Grace. I felt very understood. I was thoroughly impressed with the menu. It was simple and easy to read. I got two of their slush drinks, which were very good yeah things were looking up until the bathroom incident.. there was two bathrooms, both single the first one I went to had no toilet paper. I will say there was a nice note written on toilet paper that said no toilet paper. so I went into the other one the other bathroom did have toilet paper, but when I went to wash my hands, there was no soap surprise surprise. there was also no paper towels or any way to dry my hand to talk things off, which was just the rotten cherry on top. The breakfast sandwich and grilled cheese was pretty good though extremely cheesy ha ha get it.
I've been here a few times, and I am always looking for an excuse to swing by even though it's out of the way of my normal routines. The strawberry matcha here must have some kind of addictive chemical in it, because it's one of the best drinks I've had in my entire life. Delicious matcha and a perfect level of sweetness and strawberry flavor to complement it, without overpowering the matcha. I assume it's real matcha and not artificially sweetened like it is at coffee chains like Starbucks. The coffee is phenomenal too. Really well brewed espresso, very flavorful, not burnt at all. This is a great place to stop for a drink on the go or to sit and enjoy the nice vibes while working. Every employee I've interacted with has always been incredibly friendly. Great place!
Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: 3/5 Family friendly: 5/5 Stroller friendly: 5/5 ADA accessible: 5/5 Came here on a random weekend with the fam at about 1030 am and THIS PLACE IS PUMPIN'! I actually felt a sorry for the girl up front taking orders. She was running the cashier as well as making the hand made drinks! We ordered a couple of egg sandwiches ( highly recommend I think around $10). Japanese style eggs on toasted brioche bread with some sorry of tangy, mayonnaise - sy sauce, lettuce, tomatoes , and red onions! Def was a decadent sandwich. I also tried a blended Coconut coffee ($8), house coffee ($7) and matcha latte ($7). All were quality made and excellent tasting. Being from Southern California, it great to see something like this pop up in the area! I thoroughly enjoyed all that was ordered. Inside there is also a nod to the SoCal lifestyle with it's laid-back decor and ambiance. The is a small lounge to chill at, about 8 tables to sit around and hang out at asks plenty of room for strollers, wheelchairs too be inside. Def drop by here if you're in the area. You will not regret it.
The food never disappoints and we love the tea drinks! The staff there are always so friendly and welcoming. The ambiance gives off the come in and chill for a while. Restrooms are always clean when we visit. I would definitely recommend this place without hesitation and love to come here when I get together with my girlfriends that visit. The beef banh mi and chicken banh mi is what we usually get and the drinks are black tea and lychee green tea. The strawberry matcha is also delicious as well. Oh and the blueberry scone is a must try.
Ordered ahead when running errands and went to pick up. Parking is mostly street parking but didn't have a hard time finding a spot. Staff was friendly and welcomed me in. My food order was ready but they waited to make my drink when I was in there. I love the matcha here and the egg sandwich is so soft and fluffy. It is a bit messy so make sure to grab extra napkins. There's plenty of seating and it's also a nice little cafe to get some work done. Will be back.
Wow ...I'm am very impressed!! I thought that all banh mi were the same...not until I tried this one!! Impressed I was indeed.. the taste was oh so good I even ordered one to go! This little place was popping!! Now I know why! I will definitely be back!! I can't explain why it is so good!! You just have to try it!!
We stumbled upon this spot hungry and on the way to Portland from Seattle on a Friday afternoon traffic. We are glad we did cause little did we know they are Cambodian owned and we love to support our fellow khmers. What brought me here was their egg sandwiches, but I ended up getting the Lox bagel, it was jam packed with flavor, however the bagel was a little tough. My husband devoured the lemongrass beef banh mi. Our drinks were perfect! It is nice to see a sugar cane presser for fresh juice. The strawberry matcha was refreshing with flavor. The service was sweet and quick. Counter service. The vibe was nice, small, minimal decor. Going for that chill ambiance. Restrooms are in the back shared in the business building. Parking is street. read more

Amazing matcha, aesthetic all around, but the smell... I initially was drawn to this place from the aesthetic labels on their drinks and solid ratings. I decided to meet up with a friend on a Thursday morning 9 AM to be exact. DRINKS 8.5/10 Matcha Latte Vibrant, creamy, and unmistakably green. The flavor delivered: smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced with their house sweetener. The salted cheese cold foam is a must. I probably could've done with a touch less sweetener, but overall, this was a hit. However, the space had one major flaw. From the moment we walked in, there was a strong scent of cooking oil smell hanging in the air. At first, I brushed it off, but after about an hour of catching up, I left and realized the smell had completely attached itself to my clothes and wool Margiela blazer. I could smell it on me for the rest of the day and felt so nauseated, which killed the mood significantly. To be fair, it could've just been something going on in the kitchen that morning, maybe off timing I guess, but it's worth mentioning for anyone sensitive to scent, because it lingered on me much stronger than hotpot. I'd definitely come back for the matcha, just as a to-go order next time. On the positive note, the cafes aesthetic was nice. A little "hypebeast" urban feel with a pretty green marble table and a comfy couch to chat with a friend. It's a great spot for photos and a quick caffeine fix before your next stop. Not sponsored or comped, just sharing honestly because the matcha was really great read more

My first time here I tried the house coffee and their eggs essential egg breakfast sandwich. It was the best egg sandwich I've ever had. Toasted milk bread, crisp lettuce, light fluffy eggs made even creamier with the sweet mayo and cheese. I will make this a treat for all upcoming oncology appointments. read more
I came here because my friend told me this was good and im so happy I came here. When I walked in my impression was the place was inviting, clean, bright natural lighting of good energy. I ordered the Matcha cloud beverage drink and the Beef Ban Minh sandwich. The drink was refreshing and the sandwich was great! Waiting wasnt too long and friendly service. The beef was more like a brisket type of meat and thr bread was toasted perfectly as it wasnt hard to eat it. One of my favorite places to go and I highly recommend it. read more

We took a pit stop at this cafe on our way to Seattle. It was a great choice for lunch! Frozen mango smoothie is both fresh and creamy and has a small layer of (I'm assuming coconut) tapioca pudding at the bottom. We also got the chicken banh mi and egg banh mi and turkey pesto sandwich. All were very good choices. My favorite was the egg banh mi because it had a slightly runny yoke inside. read more

I tried this place with a friend, recommended by one of my friends who lives nearby. I ordered the Eggcellent sandwich and the Spanish latte with pandan cheese foam. We received our food 15 minutes after ordering. You can sample the cheese foam before choosing your preferred flavor, which is a nice touch. I really enjoyed the Spanish latte. It wasn't overly sweet but had great flavor, though it leaned towards the sweeter side. The Eggcellent sandwich was well-made, with a sweet taste that didn't require any additional spice. The bread had a slightly sweet tinge, likely from being toasted with something sweet. The only downside was that the sandwich was small to medium in size and the bread was slightly oily. Quiet feel and decent ambience. read more

Went to Seattle for the first time and found myself driving by Lacey, found this modern gem and ended up being the best food experience I had in Washington! Not only a cool vibe /aesthetic giving tribute to basketball but the service was exceptional. Met the owner Shahid and received nothing warm and friendly vibes from him and the staff. Ended up trying a couple drinks and sandwiches for myself and my group.... Loved everything. If I had to recommend my top picks, drinks would be the strawberry matcha and house coffee. The strawberry mix wasn't too sweet and it blended just enough to taste both matcha and strawberry for deliciousness. The house coffee had a special salted cheese foam that was the perfect blend to the house coffee. For sandwiches, don't sleep on the egg banh mi and the eggssential. Even if you're not a fan of eggs, this place is able to make eggs and turn into something quite special! Please, do yourself a favor and try it out because this community is lucky to have this cafe! read more

First time here, and what I've seen from the reviews and comments they should have an intro combo!! Get the strawberry matcha latte with the eggsellent sandwich! Friendly greeting when you walk in, and the employee was super sweet to suggest items on the menu for me. Very clean and spaced out well. From the R&B remixes, the plants, food, and beverages I think I found my new fav place to go in Lacey! read more

This place is such a gem. We always get the beef banh mi, it's packed with flavor of lemongrass which I love and the beef is so tender and juicy. The strawberry matcha latte is also outrageously good! The strawberry purée takes it to the next level. We are always greeted so warmly here and not to mention the vibe & aesthetic. We will be back again & again! read more

This cafe is so aesthetically pleasing in a hypebeast way! I ordered an iced matcha latte with their house sweetener ($7.68). It only came in one size which was 20oz. You really get a bang for your buck! The color was beautiful and it tasted amazing! It's the best matcha in the Lacy area! I would highly recommend! read more
Why was I sleeping on Vietnamese coffee all these years? I ordered a Cappuccino and a House coffee after a small discussion with the person on the counter . She recommended I try the House coffee based on what I was looking for ,and I am so glad I did . The coffee comes with condensed milk and a salted foam yet somehow the sweetness is never overbearing at any point and the coffee is strong . I was in such a dilemma to drink it slowly and savor every sip yet I couldn't help myself from finishing it up too fast . This will have to be my must stop places enroute to Seattle from now on . read more

Found this place on just a whim and a yelp. We are from California and I wanted a good spot to get some lunch after visiting the ROAM sanctuary. This place HITTT. So so good and it was destroyed. The girls at the front are friendly too. 10/10 would come again the food was delicious and the atmosphere is super chill read more
Oh my goodness I absolutely loved this place. Came here for the egg sandwich -- I was late, they stop selling it at 1:30, but now I have an excuse to go back. A win is a win. Ended up ordering the egg banh mi + blueberry matcha. It was just better than I could have ever imagined. Not sure how they cook the egg, but it was so delicious! Perfect umami flavor. The matcha was smooth and creamy. The cutest cafe can't wait to read more

I had the eggsential sando. I'd give it a solid 4.5 stars out of 5. Cooked very well there was plenty of lettuce and sauce. The sandwich was filling and relatively inexpensive and it was toasted with butter, which was a nice touch. I definitely try more from this place. First time here. read more

My fiancé and I were in town for a wedding and decided to check this cafe out. We ended up going here 3 days in a row because everything is AMAZING! The house coffee is one of the best coffees I've had, and we have enjoyed every food item we've tried. Their EGGSENTIAL sandwich is literally perfection, down to the texture of the egg and flavors. The customer service here is top tier, and everyone was so welcoming. So much thought has been put into every aspect of this cafe, especially the interior aesthetic. I took so many photos of the plants because they were THRIVING! If I lived in Washington, I would go here every single day. read more

New coffee place in Lacey . 8 table tops so it's pretty good seating. Sis ordered the matcha latte (she didn't expect it to be an ice blended because it was in the Specialty Drink section of the menu, not the Blended Drinks) and she liked it. I had the coconut coffee (also blended) and it was freaking good. When I finished my drink, I discovered real shredded coconut at the bottom of my cup. I'm coming back for that. The Eggsential sandwich is eggy, cheesy, grilled, and drizzled in honey mustard. So good! I'm coming back for that too. read more
