    Mozzarella sticks and popcorn type chicken

    Pretty cool and chill place to grab a bite and hang out. Quite a few younger generations just hanging out and a couple different people on their computers Pick a bench or comfy big chair. Food was good,

    Food is consistent, it hits every time! Service is fast & whoever is on the register is usually accommodating & helpful when we want to try new things. Most importantly, the ambiance is great for people who need a spot to study or work. The music is at a good volume & usually the other patrons are quiet and considerate. There's free WiFi & bathrooms across the hall. One of my favorite study spots.

    Cute hang out spot I came across after shopping at the Asian supermarket. Really reminds me of NY... how is miss it. Lots of seating, pretty causal setting. We did take out and ordered a drink. The staff were friendly and helpful. Had the espresso explosion with a shot - so good! Reminded me of a strong coffee ice cream. Looking forward to that drink again and trying some other dishes!

    Catered boba bar
    Vic A.

    Rain cafe has a great boba and food menu. Their options are great and their spider sushi roll is my go to. We had them cater our baby shower with 2 boba options and they provided the toppings. Price for food and boba are reasonable considering some are very steep now these days. The service is quick. Younger staff, no small talk. The ambiance is dark and quite cluttered with boxes in the corner and entrance. Cleanliness is okay, could be better with more frequent clearing of the bust your own table area.

    Salted Egg Chicken Rice Bowl
    Annie M.

    I'm obsessed with this place recently! I LOVE IT! Honestly surprised it isn't rated higher. It's a great place to get work done and study. They have big booths and a lot of space in the cafe which I love so you can spread out and do your work. Not only do they offer a wide variety of drinks, also allowing you to adjust how much sugar is used in the drink, but they also offer a nice selection of food as well. So whether you're just looking to get a quick drink or a quick bite - this is your spot. I've been going through the menu to try a lot of things (everything as been amazing) but I've been recently stuck on their salted egg chicken rice bowl. OMG it's so delicious and surprisingly a bit spicy, which I love. Service wise, they generally don't bring food and drinks to you. It's more of an order, then pick up at the counter kind of place. I like this though as I imagine it helps keeps their food reasonably priced. It usually takes about 10-15 mins for food to come out. You can get it to go as well. It's nice it's connected to the Asian Family Market too, in the event you want to pick up some groceries after your visit as well. 10/10 spot - I highly recommend.

    I believe Rain Cafe is the only restaurant around Seattle serving banfen, which intrigued us enough to visit over the weekend. I was expecting it to be full of people for lunch, given that the Asian Family Market next door is always packed on the weekends, but was surprised to see it basically empty with only a couple of people waiting for takeout. Inside, the atmosphere is a casual, dimly lit hangout spot. It seems like it's a place to sit with a laptop and study since there's free wifi and plenty of space. As a more casual cafe, the place is counter service, making the ordering and eating experience easy. Beef Noodle Soup ($12.95) - This beef noodle soup uses broth that's very weak in both beefiness and the classic beef noodle herbal spice taste. The liquid is very thin, with no body and a very one note flavor profile. I feel like it might be a powder based instant broth or something similar. The rest of the ingredients aren't too much better. There's the beef that, while splitting apart along the grain easily, is tough and fibrous on the teeth. Eating it is like a dog trying to gnaw meat off a bone - chew, chew, chew, chew with the beef barely breaking down with each bite. For some reason, the beef tastes almost a little soapy. There are thin ramen-like noodles, overcooked with no bite due to being too soft. They are generous with the amount of noodles given, but it's not very good in texture. There are fried shallots that are soaked through in broth and completely softened, but they do add a nice fried allium taste. Finally, some bok choy, cooked thoroughly, fills the rest of the dish. (3/5) Beef Banfen ($13.99) - The rice noodles included in this dish are much bouncier and far better cooked than the wheat noodles in the beef noodle soup. They are tossed in some (most likely) Lao Gan Ma chili crisp, and some soy sauce. Again, kind of one note in flavor. It's missing layering, it's missing aromatics, it's just very flat flavor-wise. There are diced pickled radish and roasted Spanish peanuts to add a bit more flavor and a crunchy texture. A dash of green onion graces the top but doesn't contribute much. The dish comes with a couple of slices of thinly shaved beef. It's very similar to roast beef in both texture and taste. (3/5) Rain Black Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($4.75) - Well I can say that this is among the cheapest boba that can be found in Seattle. Quality-wise? It's kind of suspect. Starting with the tea - good creaminess with a tea that tastes somewhat like mulling spices. Both sweetness and ice level are ideal at half. The boba is not good. The pearls are small and hard, not very bouncy at all, but taking ages to chew through given their toughness. They approach being pebble-like in consistency. Milk Tea Rating: 3.5/5 Boba Rating: 2/5 Rain Cafe has one thing going for it, and that's the pricing. It's certainly very affordable for Seattle and if I were a poor college student again, I would appreciate a filling meal at this price point. At this point in life, however, I'd rather pay a bit more to get food and drinks that are of higher quality.

    Spicy shoyu ramen
    Ben F.

    I go here often with my son for boba. It's good. They give you a discount if you bring back the cup. Today I had the spicy shoyu ramen. It's affordable, relatively to other places, and tasty. Didn't take long. I'd say it was a good value. The atmosphere is not warm...it's kind of awkward really....a lot of students...but I don't really mind that...it's not a fine dining establishment. Just decent ramen and boba. I do think it's a little weird that they're selling cheap jewelry at the counter. But whatever.

    Green tea with 75% sweetness!
    Mia-w L.

    Rain Café is such a great stop for bubble tea while shopping at Family Market! The tea taste is good, with just the right level of sweetness(we ordered 75%), and the boba is soft and chewy. It's super convenient to grab a drink here while browsing the market

    Luke L.

    My go-to for a cheap and cheerful boba fix! While the quality isn't top-tier, the value is certainly S-tier. At just $3.75 each, you really can't complain. The boba itself is decent, though I've definitely had better elsewhere. But I am more of a quantity-over-quality guy, so I'd much rather pay less for "good enough" than a premium for "the best". Caveat is: I haven't tried any of their food, though the pictures look great! Would like to come here sometime to try their food as well!

    2.5 rating based on their drinks - which mind you is half of the menu so def a bit disappointing. Located pretty much in the Asian Family Market, great location to stop before or after groceries in sure ! But the drinks were just not good. The mango jasmine with 30% sugar (lowest offer) was still VERY sweet. I had to ask if I got the right order, but it turns out their mango is more of a syrup and is thus super sweet. They offered to switch it out but proceeded to just pour off the top half (taking a lot of the cheese foam with it) and adding a bit more plain tea, but sadly it was still not good. My gf got the Ferrero rocher milkshake and it was watered down and had lots of chunky ice. For the price, neither drinks were worth it. But may go back to try food sometime do I can update the review!!!

    Anita M.

    Boba is good here. I got their sushi burrito which is decent and has lots of filling and refreshing lettuce. Garlic fries look underwhelming but it is actually crispy and flavorful, I use ketchup to stick on the fries better. This is a chill boba spot to do work or study and is spacious.

    Caroline S.

    I know rain cafe is great for hanging out with friends. The ambience and atmosphere are great for that. I finally decided to give it a shot after getting my hair done next door yesterday. The mince pork rice bowl was really... subpar. It's not authentic Taiwanese style if that's what you are looking for. The service was good though the hirls working behind the desk are really nice! I would not come back for food but maybe if i need a place for chilling, hangout with friends, or getting some work done i will get a bubbletea here.

    Tea was ok. Just annoyed about the pricing listing - they have 2 different prices (one on the TV and one with stickers on a menu at the counter). "The real price" is much higher than the listed price on the TV. A Taro milk tea was $1.30 more than the listed price on the TV. I asked if they would honor the price they listed on the TV but he said no. I believe typical good business practice is you should honor the lowest price listed but guess not here. It's disingenuous to have such low prices listed where everyone can see and raise the price only at the counter. Please update your TV prices (I get it, it's inflation. But update the postings).

I hadn't been back since a previous bad experience almost a year ago now and wanted to give this place another try. Same bad service. The bad service I received almost a year ago that made me stop coming to this place was I stopped by for lunch and got a grilled pork banh mi and asked for little to no/ very light mayo or whatever spread is on it as the visit before was too much for me and wanted to avoid that... Staff wasn't friendly that day. When I was eating the sandwich instead of little to no mayo it had globs like no exaggeration a lot/too much mayo spread for me so I did tear off a piece of the bread that I couldn't get the mayo off of and tried to take off the other globs and continued eating. I did not waste food. I just wasted the globs and a small piece of bread. I bussed my own table as that seems to be un clear if you do or don't and put the trash in the trash(globs of mayo +piece of bread) and plate near the counter. A staff member exited the kitchen and walks towards the register near the trash can and she proceeded to open the trash can and keep it open, looked at me and asked how was everything. I was honest and told her I always enjoy the food however today too much mayo and she just kept peering down at my trash in the trash and then her coworker exited the kitchen to join the convo and no sorry or anything...just kept her foot on the trash to keep it open and both employees looked at the trash and looked at me rudely so I told them thank you have a nice day and was off put by the experience. They were treating me like I was wasting or complaining. It was truly so weird like why keep the trash open and almost like try to embarrass me or treat me like I did something wrong? Also why no smiles, why no empathy. I don't like mayo..big deal! I still ate that whole sandwich! Recent visit on 06/06/26. Walked in and cafe wasn't busy, but trash on the floors and dirty tables. Two women. One seemed to be in training. No smiles, no welcome in, just a frown (no joke the woman training the other I believe was frowning and she looked mad) and a what can I get you? I ordered for dine in but was given to go box and to go utensils. I have to assume they just didn't want to do the dishes as one couple had dine in plates and were actually pointing to each other the trash on the floor and discussing their meal. I ordered the pho banh mi so I wouldn't have to worry about a mayo situation tbh. Food was flavorful and good. Portions seem to be a bit smaller than what I remember. If they added actual pho to the menu I bet it would be a hit! To-go ordering seems the popular thing here and if I return is what I'll do. Just sad as this used to be my fav spot but now I've found a better place with better service and food. Drinks here and food is super tasty but wish service, cleanliness, and atmosphere could be improved! Service is important and with my past two visits I feel it's a very unwelcoming atmosphere with the staff being hostile and cold and cafe seating indoors and outdoors are dirty. For me when spending my money somewhere I don't want to be treated poorly or like I'm an inconvenience or just being tolerated. The service leaves such a bad impression that it makes me avoid this place now when I used to recommend it.

The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they were out of a lot of the food options, and it was around 9:15 am when I went. I'll definitely return and hopefully they'll have more food options then!

    You would imagine that this place has an aroma of Coffee.. or something, but you would be amiss,…read moreit's just the name, but what you do get, is good coffee. I'm meeting a friend here to catch up, to talk... and honestly, I had never thought about coming here for coffee, even if it was only 12 minutes from my place. Yes, the building was an old Service Station for you know, your car, so if anything the place has that on the outside, but the feels.. it's not that on the inside, per se. Where you get coffee and where you sit and chill, are two very different places. What used to be the service station office is where you get coffee, and where they used to service cars, is now where you sit comfortably, tables spaced apart nicely, and the decor is the place that makes you wonder why not.. in a good way. The coffee is Fidalgo, which is a good strong flavored coffee. They have a rotating mixed coffee drink of the month, and it's delicious. They don't bake their own goods, which honestly if you can't, then don't. What they service is packaged, but from reputable local businesses, so worth trying. Overall, you need a place to just work, to chill, or have a good coffee, this place meets and exceeds that.

    Pretty cool find if you are ever in the neighborhood!…read more Mountlake Terrace is not a place I frequently visit, but I did because of the convenience with the light rail - it's about a 9-minute walk from the light rail station. The interior has a warm and cozy vibe; I also dig the lighting. There's a good amount and variety of seating. They don't have outlets on the floor at the benches in the center, but there are a few outlets on the walls, so if you need to charge your devices I recommend sitting at the chairs next to the treasure chest (where I'm writing this review lol). Space seems very dog friendly, and there are 2 tables outside where the fur baby pawrents would typically sit with their fur babies. I also saw dog treats at the cashier that dog owners are free to take. I guess if you wanted to eat them you could, but I would judge you. For my drink, I got the Woodsman - opted for iced, large size, and whole milk. The drink was very chai spice-forward, which I loved. The staff member who took my order asked for my name, and later on when I went up to inquire the WiFi password, he addressed me by name - impressive. The owner (?), Heather, also thanked me for coming here after I picked up my drink. Needless to say, super friendly people. I didn't get a pastry or sandwich, but that's the goal for my next visit!

Given this I cannot accurately rate the Woodsman as I got it with almond milk and wasn't a fan. My husband is also in the same boat as me with regards to milk. Please consider adding at least a 2% although skim would be amazing. If you like whole milk/alternatives please give this place a shot!

    We've been to their Edmonds location before so I was really excited to see this one opened up…read morecloser to us. Their croffles are insanely good so we stopped by to get one. The place is cute and well decorated with a good amount of seating. We got the Oreo croffle which was so delicious. My toddler absolutely loved it and kept wanting more. I highly recommend getting one. Only complaint is it was extremely warm inside so it wasn't very comfortable sitting there. Hopefully it will be more comfortable next time.

    A clean, well-kept cafe with friendly --but not exactly honest-- staff…read more While I found the menu to be a bit pricey, it looks like a popular spot with a nice atmosphere and since I was in the area and craving something sweet, I decided to give it a try. I asked for their most popular dessert, the guy at the register said it was the ube basque so I ordered it, to go. The flavor was good but I disliked the amount of food coloring used. The purple color was quite exaggerated and my stomach complained about it later on. I noticed a similar intensity with the green color of the pistachio option. I should've known better and order something else but I was tempted by it since I was told it was their best selling option. Sadly and very disappointed, I later discovered on their website that this ube basque is not even shown on their menu! Apparently, croffles are their most popular desserts... I don't understand why they didn't tell me that... but whatever. Intense food dye + lack of honesty with the recommendation = Hence the 3 stars.

They have a large parking lot, so parking is super easy. When you enter, the space is very warm and inviting. There's also plenty of seating if you want to do some work or just chat with a friend for a bit. They had an assortment of seasonal drinks, so I ordered the maple latte. It was delicious - the coffee was smooth and the maple flavors really balanced it out. IThe staff here are also very friendly and welcoming. I had a great experience at Liturgy coffee, and I would definitely come back. It's a great spot to check out on a cozy fall/winter day, or anytime of year!

They are owned and sponsored by a local church and I had been excited for their opening. There has been some controversy about church owned coffee shops in Shoreline. I ordered a coffee and then politely asked where was their pride ‍ flag or sign. They said they didn't have one so I offered to bring them one and they seemed delighted, and thanked me. The pride flag I ordered is an 8 x 10 sign, has all the colors, and says in bold print EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE. On 11/17 I returned to the coffee shop. I had to wait a few minutes to speak with the manager. As we began to chat, another person suddenly joined her and took over the conversation, as I explained I'd been there last Wednesday and the agreement we had. He went on to tell me they are NEUTRAL and do not want to "offend" anyone. When I told them a sign like this should not be considered offensive, and if it were offensive to someone, maybe they didn't want that customer anyway. I said I have grandchildren who are both gay and mixed race and it's important for them to feel safe in certain environments. I told them about how my lesbian college-age granddaughter had to walk nearly a mile to find a coffee shop last summer where she felt comfortable. (She doesn't patronize Starbucks. She walked to Diva on 145th.) They felt that was too bad for her. But ... they were very adamant in their NEUTRAL position. I tried explaining how important these signs are to the LGBTQ community. They did repeat several times that they were NEUTRAL. I left the signs with them and drive by often to check and see if they're in the windows. They are not. Either perhaps in the garbage or on a shelf in some back room. The last thing we want to do in the environment we're currently living in is to remain neutral. We need to reach our hands across. In a "Christian" environment, I would expect nothing less.
