My boyfriend and I frequent the BECU ATM nearby every so often and if Asensio Coffee is open then…read morewe will stop by. They have seasonal specials which is always a win for my boyfriend and I as we love trying out new specials. The staff here greeted us warmly and was very patient with the customer before us who was buying a gift card and helped us with the same professionalism and friendliness. We stopped by recently to grab their fall drinks and I saw on the sign that the drink I chose pairs well with a pumpkin spice whipped cream. It is extra so I decided against it. We found a spot to sit at while we waited for our drinks and not only did the employee hand delivered our drinks to us but told me she added the pumpkin spice whipped cream for me. I thought that was super sweet of her that makes the visit all the more special and reason to visit. They do also have a reward system that we joined too. The store is well maintained and there are plenty of seating and tables for all sorts of groups or sole patrons. They have some handcrafted goods to buy as well. We asked if they were dog friendly and they said dogs are welcome so we definitely will stop by more often as the weather gets colder.

I was so happy to discover this gem of a coffee shop while on a walking tour of Maury Island. It…read morehas fantastic vibes and everything you could possibly want: great coffee and ice cream! The service was wonderful--the barista was welcoming, helpful, and patient while taking our order. We both ordered Americanos, and the espresso was top-notch. It's also incredibly convenient that they have a drive-thru, a kid's area, and an ice cream bar. I also really appreciated that the restroom was clean and handicap accessible--such a thoughtful touch. I cannot recommend this place enough! I'll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I'm in the area visiting the site of the famous Maury Island incident--the home of the alleged first 'Men in Black' encounter following the UFO sighting in June 1947.

Really cute place!! They do everything: coffee, sandwiches, ice cream, salads…read more The Reuben I got was delicious, super hot and crispy. The ice cream was also great with huge servings (my photo is only a junior scoop!). They do not make it in house but it's from Umpqua and Cascade Glacier. Waffle cones and bowls ($1.10) are available but also not made in house. Cake cones are an extra 25 cents. They also sell day-old muffins for $1. I got a blueberry muffin from that pile and it was still great and tasted homemade. There is street parking across the street and they have 3 parking spots in their small lot + a drive thru for coffee. The logo does not match their inside, which looks a lot more modern. Overall had a good time here and would come back!

I hate to leave a bad review but I've gone here twice in the past month and both times have been…read morereally bad. Both times were with that same barista. I wish I knew her name because it was such an awful experience. The first time my biggest complaint was that the drink tasted awful. I asked for it half sweet cause I know how sweet energy drinks can get and it still tasted like I was drinking straight syrup. Which tells me she didn't listen and couldn't bother stirring the drink before serving it. Fast forward to Saturday 5/23/26 around 9am I come through with my boyfriends family excited for them to try this place and all 3 of us had horrible drinks. The barista had the same attitude where she seemed like she didn't want to be there and didn't want to talk to us. Both times she asked for my number and didn't say I had a free drink which I know I do. So this time I wanted to for sure use a free one. She asked for my number and then told me my total again without saying I have a free one. I had to tell her I wanted to use a free one and then she had to ask me for my number again (she for sure never put my number in the first time, and looking back I never got my points the first time I came in). Espresso stop if I were you I would let go of this employee asap. I can't be the only who's had a bad experience with this barista. Glad to give more details on her if you reach out!

My new favorite place, great service, kind and warm, and they serve a mean cup of joe!read more

I am a frequent visitor to this area because my favorite massage make it down the road…read more I enjoy frequently, stopping at local businesses to support them. Unfortunately, this move didn't turn out the well for me this morning! I first walk in to a small clean café, and plan to try a drink, sandwich and soup that I saw was available on their menu. Work in the front of the store why very informative and didn't give off too many strange vibes but the lady in the back did. Unfortunately the store was out of Lavender from what I was told and out of soup. The only 2 kids of chips on hand were Cheetos and Doritos. Ordered a half of the sandwich with mustard, lettuce, tomato, cheese and cucumber. What I received was a roast beef sandwich with mayo, mustard, red onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and cheese. Now, first of all I was already concerned because the lady who makes the sandwich's was giving off some weird vibes and she didn't write down my order. In my opinion a sizable tip. My total was eight dollars and some change. I left a four dollar tip for providing a decent service. Since discovering a stomach ulcer I can only eat certain kinds of food and I am beyond disappointed with the sandwich. Unable to eat something I paid for is sad plus I'm now 20 minutes away and can't return to request another one. If this café does not want to serve people like me they should put up a right to refuse service and then people who look like me won't come in to their establishment to order food and pay for something at the can't eat. Hope you all are staying safe and health through this holiday season! See you all at my next bite :0)

I will definitely be coming here again! There are a lot of options for food which can be a little overwhelming. However, it is VERY reasonably priced. $15 for a toast is wild but that's how cafes price things everywhere. However, other cafes smear some avocado on toast and add a tomato and charge you $15, here they give you a whole meal with an egg on top, cucumbers and tomatoes, avocado, and more. It actually feels like it's worth your money. The coffee is good even though it's not too unique. I feel like they used to be a specialty coffee shop before they turned to the crepe/cafe scene. The coffee was very sweet though so I would highly recommend getting it half sweet. The crepe is good, stuffed well and worth the price. It is obviously sweet as well so it's hard to drink a very sweet coffee with a sweet crepe. The barista was kind and helpful with any questions I had when ordering. There was gentleman with a disability ordering before me and the barista was very patient and kind when taking his order. Seems like they have good people working here, which plays a big role in atmosphere.

I came into Sweet Notes Café on May 17 around 12:12 PM with a friend after church. A young girl in…read morea gray sweater working the register helped us. Since it was our first time there, we weren't familiar with the ordering process or menu. I didn't want to hold up the line trying to decide what to order, so I asked if we could sit down first and look over the menu. She cleaned off a table for us, but then told me I needed to hurry up and order because she didn't want other people getting upset about how long it would take me to decide. I didn't respond and simply waited until we were ready to order, which only took about four minutes. What confused and upset me was that shortly after, a white man came in and she told him he could sit down, take his time, and order whenever he was ready because "it's not busy." The difference in treatment was very noticeable and honestly made me uncomfortable as an African-American woman. Maybe this was a misunderstanding, but the interaction did not sit right with me. I believe every customer should be treated with the same patience and respect, especially first-time customers who are simply trying to understand how the restaurant works. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and does better moving forward. This needs to be addressed immediately not deleted

There was only one barista working and a couple cars in front of us so we did have to wait about 10 mins to order, but it was no bigs. The outside of the shop is just really cute imo, I like the vibe of it just on the side of the main road in a small town. They had a pretty good menu too given the size; I had a lavender London fog and my mom had a breve with almond and coconut flavor which she liked. She also got a lemon poppy muffin top and liked it too. It def gave us the pick up we needed to start a gorgeous day in Mt. Rainier. Would def come again if passing by on the way from Tacoma to the Sunrise entrance :)
