I was prepared to give a higher rating given its location next to the newly opened Federal Way…read morelight rail station but was disappointed with their low variety and stock of bagels. Prices are also higher than most other grocery stores. I did not try their deli or check out the second floor. This store has some potential but will need to make some adjustments to thrive in a highly competitive space.

I have gotten to try Annie's at JSE's other location in Federal Way and I fell in love with how…read moredelicious the sandwiches and soups are here. I have tried out their pasta salad and definitely want to try out other specials when they happen as I don't think there is anything that Annie makes that isn't delicious! My boyfriend appreciated the toasted bread for the BLT sandwich and he really enjoyed it. I don't know if she stopped offering sprouts for sandwiches, but I do miss that as she is the one who got me into sprouts in my sandwiches. Sandwiches are huge and packed with each respected ingredients. The soups are always flavorful and comforting. You can see what specials and soups Annie has on Facebook but on our recent visit, she had an additional soup and other specials going on so it's just best to check in or call.

Stopped by Annie's because of 5 reviews. We were not disappointed! My turkey sandwich on sourdough…read morewas perfection. My wife's pastrami on rye got the same review. Her soup was great as well. Service was quick and friendly. This is now going to be a regular stop when we are in the area. I love finding places that have so much heart in what they are serving.

Hidden gem of federal way! Underground kitchen is LITERALLY underground. It is tucked right next to…read moreshin sung kbbq next door. Ambiance is korean pocha/late night bar setting and they are open until 2am! There's limited seating during their busy hours so definitely come earlier if you can. Lots of parking outside. Everytime I visit here, I ALWAYS get the creamy bulgolgi udon. This dish is super unique and I've never seen it elsewhere. The sauce is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the bouncy/chewy udon and well marinated bulgolgi. The pork belly kimchi udon is good as well if you like a spicy kick. We also ordered the half and half fried chicken (original and yangnyeom) and it was perfectly crispy and juicy on the inside! My friend enjoyed the spicy seafood stir fry which paired well with a bottle of soju but they also have lots of other drinks (nonalcoholic) to choose from! after a long night out or just for a casual lunch/dinner-- definitely a go to spot for me.

I ordered the honey garlic wings and the half-and-half (low-level spice). Unfortunately, the honey…read moregarlic wings were quite dry and seemed overcooked--the meat was hard and even the bone crumbled, which was disappointing. The half-and-half wings were noticeably better and much more enjoyable. I also tried the Creamy Udon with seafood and cod roe, which was absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I would skip the overcooked wings next time, but I highly recommend diving into the udon.

Their food is pretty consistent, no matter where you go, and ordering is simple-- either at the kiosk or from a friendly person at the counter. The only thing I've not enjoyed at Panera is their coffee-- and that's fine. There are plenty of other beverage choices.

4.75 stars Cute local salad, smoothie and more shop. I got…read morethe Washington salad and it was so fresh and light. The half size was perfect for lunch. The menu also shows sandwiches, soups and warm bowls. I don't know the area well but surprised they didn't have more people in during the lunch hour. My only negative is they don't seem to realize when customers enter as they are not greeted and can take several minutes before someone comes up front and realizes a customer or food delivery pick up is waiting. Would definitely go back when in the area.

My boyfriend and I needed some time to kill and we saw that Garden's Gourmet was participating in…read morethe Equity in Action for Women's History month so we decided to stop by. They share parking a few other businesses and it was pretty busy when we got there but we snagged a spot. As we entered, we greeted by the owners who welcomed us and gave us menus to look through. They have a decent sized menu but not too overwhelming and if you don't like the options offered then you can do a create your own which is sweet! My boyfriend got their garden wrap with a garlic and herb tortilla while I got their Washington Apple wrap with a garlic and herb tortilla. There was an order ahead of us but the employees got the orders made in a good amount of time and presentation was a nice touch too. The wraps had a great ratio of all the listed ingredients and you can yaste everything in each bite. The ingredients tasted and looked fresh! The interior is very cozy with plenty of seating that accommodates solo, couples or small groups. They have great lighting in there, both natural and inside. They had some old school RnB playing which was nostalgic for me as I heard a lot of these as a pre-teen. Definitely a fantastic spot, especially if you are trying to eat or be more healthy conscious but still have a flavorful meal!

Everything was absolutely delicious. The carne asada gyro was made with fresh ingredients and full of flavor, and the peanut butter strawberry banana smoothie was perfectly balanced--just the right sweetness and tasted like real, fresh fruit. I also loved being able to sit outside and enjoy the sun. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, which made the whole experience even better. This is definitely my new go-to spot, and I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu!

It's also great that it's locally owned, and yes there are a couple of locations. This trip, we met some friends for dinner. Love the zucchini appetizer and their drinks are decent. They have a good wine selection that won't break the bank. Service has always been good and on-par with what you would expect. The booths and seating can accommodate large parties or just a couple of people out to dinner. I tried the Spicy Cajun Pasta this time and it was good. Pasta was cooked correctly, sausage and shrimp were tasty and it actually had a bit of a kick. Which I rarely ever say, even for some of the hottest food.

We ordered drinks first and went…read moreto sit down, I had a Italian soda, unfortunately the menu and the worker did not inform me I could add energy to that, the Italian soda was tasty but they added way too much ice, that's a way to give the customer less and I don't appreciate that. When we walked in I noticed some table games in the front area and table books so I was hopeful, it seemed pleasant. We went to sit in a booth but the empty tables were still dirty. While we sat we decided we would order, we couldn't find menus and kept waiting for a waiter, then someone finally told us ,after we asked , that we had to order in front! I ordered a BLT on a GF bread, I had to pay $2 more for gluten free! I expected a large sandwich for the price, like most the restaurants we've eaten at have been, but this sandwich was small, like a tiny one made at home! The bacon was burnt to a crisp and black, and the bread was super dry, the whole sandwich was dry and tasteless and a disappointment. When it came the side of pickle was missing and I had to ask for it. The only good part of my meal was the chips and my Italian soda! A huge waste of $18 + $$
