Got a PB Health Nut (peanut butter, banana, dates, cashewmilk) and customized it with added blueberries and strawberries. Smoothie was freshly made and tasty. Ordering on the app makes it easy to customize the smoothie. The staff were friendly and were able to serve my smoothie in my reusable glass tumbler. Thanks for supporting sustainability and reusable cups! Store is clean and has a few tables and chairs where you can enjoy your smoothie. There's also free wifi and lots of windows, for some sun and natural lighting.

The Toxin Flush is much better than most green drinks (it actually tastes good lol) and we loved the Go Bananas. I'd highly recommend adding coconut whipped cream to them. The place is super clean, quiet, and located right next to the Downtown Park! Service was excellent as well, and I especially love the convenience of being able to pre-order online.

First up the woman who made my juice was so friendly and helpful, I wish I grabbed her name to shout her out. I ended up with the power green and added ginger. I told her I like a bit of a kick at the end with the ginger. She nailed it and got a good balance of that ginger spice that blended in with the rest of the drink. Will definitely be back!

Everyone on staff is well-trained and knows how to make the specialty drinks. I don't mind that they take their time, because they're getting it RIGHT rather than getting it FAST. I appreciate their dilligence. The shop is often warm and a great place to sit down with a friend for a chat. Music isn't too loud, you can hear each other and even bring your laptop to study here for 20 mins while you finish your drink. Absolutely love this location and I hope they never close. Oh, I also love the little text coupons they send out! Signing up for the five-star rewards is the way to go!

TL;DR: for such a large chain, this place is really disappointing. Boba is cooked unevenly. Sago is…read morenothing but a huge goopy clump. Not worth spending $10 on a cup here. I thought I'd give this chain a try and I was very disappointed. Parking: mall garage, free. Atmosphere: no seating, long lines for ordering, waiting for your order to be completed is longer than waiting in the line (I presume it is because they fill mobile orders at the same time). Menu: posted on the back wall above the register, also a smaller menu at the beginning of the ribbon divider. Service: order and pay at the front, wait for your order to be announced, grab your own straw. Mango Sago Smoothie: I requested 30% sweetness and it was still very sweet but that wasn't the worst part--it wasn't until I reach the bottom of the cup that I saw the sago was nothing but two large coagulated clumps. It was clearly poorly made and not fresh. The mango tasted mediocre and was nothing to write home about. The boba was also very unevenly cooked and was mushy on the outside and rubbery/hard inside. I noticed this on the first sip and wasn't going to stand back in the 10 minute queue to get it remade. I'm all for bubble tea joints and I honestly thought the drinks would be better quality for a chain so large that I hear about.

Cafe Joy in Bellevue is a cute, eclectic café with fun, slightly random decor like a sheep, Target…read moredog, and Legos. Their specialty drinks are the highlight, with unique options like a sweet corn latte. We tried the coconut and black sesame lattes. Both had strong coffee flavor and leaned a bit bitter, but still good. The strawberry croffle was delicious, and the ham and cheese piadina was solid. Service was quick. Parking is a bit annoying with mostly street options. Overall, a good spot to try something different, but not quite a go to for me.

I recently stopped by Cafe Joy and tried their mango matcha, and it was honestly such a pleasant…read moresurprise. The drink leaned more toward a matcha mango milk tea, which I loved. had that creamy, smooth matcha base with a subtle sweetness from the mango. What really stood out were the small chunks of real mango in the drink. They had a soft, almost jelly-like texture but were actually fresh fruit, which made it feel more refreshing and less artificial compared to typical fruit add-ins. It added a nice burst of flavor and texture in every sip.

The name of this establishment may not sound too appealing, but don't let it deter you... they whip…read moreup some delicious sandwiches! The menu is quite small with three cold sandwiches and three hot ones, each inspired by a different region of the globe with the South Pacific, South America and Mediterranean as a few examples. There were two salads listed as well. I've been here twice and both times, when I went to place my order on the iPad, the menu stated they were out of stock for the sandwich that I wanted. However, when I asked the employee, she said that was not correct. So if you see the same message when ordering, it's worth asking about it! During my first visit, I ordered the RENDANG ($14). This hot sandwich came packed with SO much meat! Very tender chunks of marinated beef tasted of coconut, curry and warm spices. The flavor had true depth and I could actually taste hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Thin spears of pickled cucumber and carrot added crunch and a perfect zing of acidity. They were refreshing and cut through the rich beef. A drizzle of Sambal Terasi (chili) aioli gave it another layer of flavor. Cilantro, mint and Thai basil were all fresh and vibrant. The bread was lightly toasted, being a little crinkly in texture without being harsh against my gums. If I could change something, I would include a couple extra slices of the cucumber to balance out the ratio of vegetables to meat, and add a bit more of the aioli. Other than that, this is a great sandwich influenced by flavors of the South Pacific. My companion got the STEAK sandwich ($15) and enjoyed it. The steak slices were thinly cut and tender as well. They do their beef right! On another occasion, I tried the PROSCIUTTO ($14), one of their cold sandwiches. The delicate layers of prosciutto were placed on top of sliced tomatoes, pickled onion and arugula, all between pressed focaccia bread. Truffle mustard was spread on both pieces of bread, which was WAY too much in my opinion. With this mustard having a stronger flavor, it overpowered the sandwich and made it too tangy, especially in combination with the pickled onions. The menu stated this should include pistachios, but I didn't notice any, and they were all out of provolone, so there was also an absence of cheese. For the prices, these sandwiches are pretty generous in size, so I consider them a good deal, especially for the Bellevue area. The ingredients are fresh and make for a fantastic lunch option. While I wasn't a huge fan of the Prosciutto sandwich, I'd definitely go back again for another Rendang!

I liked the sandwich, it just wasn't quite worth the price imo. Like I'd still go if it was payday or something but probably not on a regular day tbhhh. I did like the bread of the sandwich though! It threw me for a loop since I didn't expect it to be so crunchy and thin, but it really grew on me.

The bread surprised me as being a new type of sandwich bread - it was really crispy, and the grill marks were pretty cool to see. The crunch on it was actually quite nice. Honestly was very surprised the bread was this good. The steak was decent enough. Nothing special, but also they don't do the thing where they call it a steak sandwich or bowl and give you a few pieces of skirt steak. The meat was actually spread apart well throughout the sandwich. The cheese and sauces gave this a good moisture level to prevent it from being too dry. This contributed to the pretty good taste Only issue is the price - it's quite a small sandwich, and yet you're paying 15 bucks for it. That's just insane prices. This is hardly filling enough for a single person for lunch. Overall, I was expecting this to be expensive and bad, and at least it was just expensive. 7.5/10
