    White chocolate lavender latte and spartak & honey cake
    Jenny A.

    What a gem! This little Eastern European cafe is connected to a grocery store and has great breakfast and lunch options. You order at the counter and they give you a number for your table. Service is friendly and relatively quick. They forgot one of our items but were very apologetic and gave us an extra crepe to make up for it! They have coffee/lattes, pierogis, borscht, a bunch of european pastries, and a lunch bar where you can order 2-3 items per plate. I got pierogis, a cake, and a latte. All were *chefs kiss* and hit the spot. Ambiance is modern and clean. And prices were very reasonable!! Will be back to try their lunch!

    Amazing! The food selection is fantastic. Really great place to have breakfast while we waited for our car to get serviced. I had a chai and avocado toast and my husband ordered a coffee and breakfast quesadilla. We also couldn't pass up some t looking cookies to go. Everything was delicious! Service was great. Relaxing atmosphere. What a hidden gem!

    Authentic Slavic food. So many options I didn't know what to choose. They have a wonderful breakfast menu too. The crepes are massive very worth the price. The crepes are Slavic crepes, not thick like most crepes, tastes exactly like the homemade ones we make. Coffee is great, Italian soda is flavorful. 10/10 cafe.

    So good. Delicious home-cooking. I was able to get a full plate of food for about $10. The grocery store has daily fresh baked bread plus all sorts of great Russian and Eastern European deli foods like pickles and sausages.

    Good family place to go for brunch. Only thing that call my attention was the cabbage roll and wow Yummy Is must go back

    Creme brûlée

    They're setup is great, the ambience is nice. However many workers aren't wearing masks and no gloves are being used. I would've given a higher rating but as my partner and I began to eat the creme brûlée he found a small piece of glass in the custard, which was unfortunate because the first bite was really good. The hot food is good and the desserts and pastries are amazing but there are many hygienic and safety measures that need to be taken for this place to blossom.

    Borscht, warm fresh bread, beef/pork dumplings, cabbage rolls, fish of the day, creamy potatoes.

    I ordered lunch from Marvel Bay Cafe for the first time today. I did not know of this place and saw it on Uber eats. I got a medium plate which comes with two entrees and a side of creamy potatoes. I chose their fish of the day and cabbage rolls. I also ordered their Borscht and beef/pork dumplings. Everything tasted amazing! The dumplings and Borscht are a must. So much food for only $27. The bread was warm and fresh. I could on about everything it was all delicious. I will be ordering again and stopping by to take a look at what else they offer.

    Hot potato salad, cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers, and chicken meatballs (picture does no justices... the portions are HUGE)

    During a recent trip to Washington state, I went here for lunch. The food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable.

I graduated from PLU 3 years ago and have since moved away, and not a day goes by where I don't wish that I could get a keg of Prayers for my house. Staff is also very friendly, and everything about this place is great. If y'all ever sell any amount of Prayers that can be shipped, I will most definitely be ordering.

Yesterday, we decided to flip a U-turn and try it out. My gooodnesss... I'm so glad we stopped. The baristas were super nice and served us quickly (with 2 other cars ahead of us). We expected a little bit of a wait, which can be normal. Patience is key in my opinion. They had good music playing. Both baristas interacted with us. We've struggles to find a good coffee spot to go to. We've either burnt out on them , heard negative reviews or are too far away from. My boyfriend passes by often & will definitely be back. Loved that they create their own craft brewed energy drinks, I'll be back to try ! Side note from me since I love eye catching apparel & stickers from small businesses. This place has both ! Sadly their online apparel is sold out at the moment. But I signed up for newsletters and rewards to be notified of new releases!! Thank you for some delicious coffee drinks we've had recently!!

    For the most part the coffee tastes good, and I really enjoy their canned nitro cold brew to go. I…read morealso really like that they switched the bakery distributor from Macrina Bakery (nothing wrong with them, just tired of seeing their stuff at every other local coffeeshops) to Tacoma owned Three Hearts Bakery. Recco's: Pour over, Nitro cold brew if they have that on tap, and baked goods by Three Hearts Bakery Cons: Service is a hit or miss at this new location. Being on STW (that is short for South Tacoma Way), I think this location has huge potential for attracting non-locals compared to their 6th Ave location (already established local reputation with regulars), hopefully they staff up to create more flexibility because a lot of times they're backed up on orders especially early mornings due to several crowd rolling in from Howdy Bagel across the street, they're also a bit stoic when it comes to simple greetings. Cortado is one of my favorite coffee drinks but I will not order from this location, today I ordered it with almond milk (which, for cortado of less than 4oz, the portion of milk is not very much but I paid a kidney for it, its my fault) it was $6.07. The barista did provide a tip for next time if I'm looking for a more fuller 8oz drink, I can go for a Flat White. I visit both of their locations fairly regularly and do appreciate this STW location that is closer to me. Parking is on street and has never given any problem finding a spot nearby. Great offerings of seasonal coffee drinks, and I enjoy coming here very early before the crowd hits.

    Wanted some good coffee this morning and hit up Bluebeard…read more They are a roaster but they sell their own coffee in the cafe. The coffee is great and the sweets make the experience whole. Service is excellent and helpful. It's a nice quiet relaxing place, no rushing just relaxing and enjoying a good coffee. You want a good wait no Great cup of coffee then pass all the chain places and find this place as you will not be disappointed.

    I hate leaving negative reviews, but after multiple experiences, I feel I need to share this. I…read morecontinue coming here mainly because it's close to my husband's work and the breakfast sandwiches are good--but unfortunately, the customer service is consistently poor. Nearly every visit, the employees come across as rude, unfriendly, and give the bare minimum in terms of service. Today was the final straw. I ordered a white chocolate mocha, but was handed a regular mocha instead. When I politely said I had ordered a white chocolate mocha, the employee immediately responded with attitude. I handed the drink back and said I didn't want that one, and she asked--again with attitude--if I wanted it remade. When I said yes, she rudely told me that "next time you need to say white chocolate mocha." I responded that I believed I had, and she insisted I didn't. There was no reason for the hostility over a simple drink correction. Customer mistakes happen, employee mistakes happen--but basic kindness and professionalism should still be expected. The food may be good, but the repeated poor treatment from staff makes the experience unpleasant. Management seriously needs to address customer service training or reconsider staffing, because friendly service goes a long way.

Please do yourself a favor and order it. I also super appreciate how speedy the service is! Definitely becoming a weekly stop.
