    Got the Nutella Oreo croffle again, which would have been. Nice if there was more of that melted chocolate ice cream like dip. Silverware utensils would have been nice if provided bc hard to cut croffle into bites with the Plastic utensils. My Dubai chocolate matcha drink was okay. Thank gosh for spacious and clean bathroom, but no mirror :( main space is also clean and I love the bright white lights that make the café shop pop in the square that it is located at. Very quick service!

    Black Sesame Einspanner and House Green Milk Tea w/ Boba
    Generous Y.

    Ordered delivery because I needed a pick me up. Can't comment on service or ambiance, but I feel their Vietnamese drinks (namely coffee) are tasty while the tea is just alright. Sample size of one drink each, so take it with a grain of salt. House Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - a very basic green milk tea. Tea was slightly floral, not too sweet, and balanced with the milk. Boba was chewy but lacked flavor. Would probably skip boba here in favor of their other drinks like the einspanners. Black Sesame Einspanner - black sesame cream was smooth and the actual black sesame slowly dropped to the bottom, since grounded sesame will result in physical bits. Slightly sweet but not too much. Similar sweetness with the coffee, a solid ca phe with a perfect amount of condensed milk added to soften the bitterness. Solid drink, would love the black sesame on a tea drink because I chugged the coffee and do not need that much caffeine.

    I loved this cafe so much I came here two days in a row! I love einspanners, so I loved that they had those drinks here! (I went to another cafe nearby and they didn't know wth I was talking about.) I didn't try the croffle, but they looked really good! They had a lot of flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is free wifi, so it's a good study/work spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Plenty of parking in their private lot, which is shared with Pal-Do (Korean market) [[HIGHLIGHT]]No outdoor seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    One of the best tasting matchas in Seattle! The sweet cream was a perfect addition to the Matcha latte. The service here was great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the seating space is small.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I highly recommend and would come back.

    Another visit. Another great experience. I got one of my go to drinks - the passionfruit and mango tea that's 50% sweet. Even so, I find the drink sweet but tangy with a crunch from the passion fruit seeds. It's a fun, light drink that's a great option outside of milk tea.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]cute, chill spot with really friendly customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks are good, I got the corn drink and it actually tastes like real corn, which I liked. The matcha is good too, just a little different taste than usual, but still enjoyable. The tiramisu is really good, real cake. The matcha on top was a little too much for me, but overall still a good dessert. I'd come back to try more things.

    Cream match. Strawberry croffle. Cheese dog croffle

    So the workers werent as nice.. seemed distracted. They didnt greet or call our us for our food. The food isnt worth it, TO ME, it was expensive which i dont mind paying for nice service and good quality. Cream match, not my vibe for a match. Very bitter. Corn dog wasnt good. Strawberry croffle was good 7/10.

    I'm surprised I never wrote a review about this place. One Day Cafe is my favorite cafe in Tacoma! I love everything that they have on their menu. I have tried the matcha and sparkling ades and I enjoy both. Their sweet cream matcha drink is my favorite! The matcha flavor is decently strong (which is more than some other places can say) and the sweet cream makes it more creamy. The sparkling ades are very refreshing and I am glad they now come in the larger size only. They do add new drinks on their menu - I recently tried the Korean pear ade and it was so good! Their drinks are sweet if you like sweet drinks. Their croffles are good too! Warm and crispy. I love that they have both sweet and savory options. Their bingsu is also very solid, however most of the condensed milk seems to be at the bottom so the last few bites are extremely sweet. Very ambient cafe. I would say it is good for studying as it tends to be one of the more quieter cafes that I have been to. I love coming here whenever I am in Tacoma :)

    Their drinks are ok, sometimes they taste a little diluted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It convenient that they provide Wi-Fi and it's not too loud so it makes for a great study space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As for service, also just ok but not bad.

    This spot is located next to Paldo grocery store off of S Tacoma Way across from Cho Dang Tofu. The menus are on TV screens as you walk in to your right. We ordered the basque cheesecake, Oreo Nutella Croffle (croissant waffle) , grape ade, peach ade and Americano. The cheesecake was good as it wasn't overly sweet like your traditional one. The waffle was delicious and was gone in a heart beat. Lol. I like getting the ades as it's more of a refreshing drink than getting a coffee imo. The staff is really friendly and patient when you have questions!

    One Day Cafe is one of the best cafes in Tacoma hands down. It's amazing that they are always creating new items to add to their menu. Every time I come, I always order something different from the previous times I visit. This time around I ordered the Black Sesame Einspanner to try something different. It had a heavy coffee flavoring to it. The sesame cream foam was overpowered by the coffee taste in this drink. I didn't mind it though.

    How are you going to heavily advertise matcha drinks and then be completely sold out by brunch time, three times in a row?

Absolutely…read moreshould be tried at least once, and you can taste test all of their drinks (except their specialty drinks that are made by the barista). You are able to mix and match toppings and teas. There are also slush options if you prefer a smoothie vibe! 5/5 - Regular Drink - Mix and matched tiger milk tea, black milk tea, and oolong milk tea with boba and lychee jelly. Sweet but not overbearing and super delicious!

    Shockingly, I have not taken the time to leave thoughts here. I was starting school when Boba Up…read morewas being built and had an extremely brief chat with the owner in 2018 as I inquired about the shop and concept. Honestly, they have a pretty mediocre reputation among Asians who are familiar with boba, but I'd say Boba Up is good for what it offers (overly sweet dessert). Perhaps a decent entry to assimilate into boba before venturing into the more authentic spots. To quickly get the cons out of the way, quality isn't super high and price started out lower than others but have been steadily increasing to match or surpass other boba spots. Sweetness cannot be lowered and by default, it's pretty high. Toppings can get stale (particularly the boba) as it's left out and not always fresh. They also supposedly offer a free birthday drink but it's almost impossible to redeem (eventually after over 5 minutes, might as well buy a drink - my friend just recently had this dilemma). For a quick list of pros, they are one of the closest options for boba near UW campus, they have the best opening flexibility (open later than every other spot), and obviously variety so there's almost something for everyone. Come here for sugar, desserty drinks, the customization of toppings, or just a refreshment. Don't come here expecting strong authentic tea. Decent amount of seating with board games available, so stay for the vibes. An occasional visit for me when I'm in the mood, but realistically not the best boba experience.

    DRIP TEA @ SEATTLE…read more Parking is a little tough here since it's mostly street parking. Because it's downtown, it can be difficult to find a spot, but we were luckily able to find street parking about a block away. I'd recommend being prepared to do a few circles, you'll eventually find something. I absolutely love Drip Tea. I've been to this location a couple of times now, and I always get their Cookies & Cream blended drink. It's seriously so good. They add this hot-fudge-like sauce into the boba, so every sip is incredibly rich and delicious. If you're looking for more of a shake-style drink with boba, I highly recommend this one. If you're more into fruity or milky drinks, their mango green tea is another favorite of mine. You really can't go wrong with it, especially if you add boba. It also comes with mango bits, which makes it even better. Honestly, you can't miss with any of their drinks everything I've tried has been amazing. I also love the ambiance of this place. I could genuinely sit here all day. The space is pretty big, with plenty of tables to choose from, and they even have their own clothing line that you can browse while you're there. The staff are super friendly, and the music and overall vibe are amazing, very retro and really cool. I would definitely recommend stopping by this location. They also recently opened a new location in Bellevue, Washington, which is worth checking out as well. That one is a bit different since it's located in the middle of a food court, so you don't quite get the same vibe as the downtown Seattle location, but it's still a great option.
