Chipotle Turkey & Cheddar Panini and Summer Flowers Latte
Serena W.

Always enjoy the food and drinks here. Great place to come and get some work or studying done. I love lavender so the summer flowers latte was perfect. The chipotle turkey and cheddar panini were also tasty.

Very busy inside. Cozy and lively today! Service was very polite and the barista explained that my drink takes longer to make. She was brewing fresh coffee for my pour over. I don't mind waiting as they were super nice. Glad I came in. This was my first visit!

Black sesame latte
Wennie H.

I've tried a few things here and nothing has impressed me as much as the cubano! It's smooth, sweet, super delicious and the cinnamon really shines. I added unsweetened almond milk and it was delicious.

Avocado toast

Food was good Customer Service friendly and courtesy Atmosphere was pleasant Great place for Food And Coffee

Just an ok breakfast burrito
Izzy G.

I feel like there were two different reviews here. I would give my mocha a 4, it was flavorful and a great way to start the day. I would give my breakfast burrito a 3. Coming from arizona, where breakfast burritos are everywhere and competitive, I have to say the burrito here fell short of my expectations. I gave the place of 4 because of the friendly service and comfortable environment.

Good place to grab a bite and coffee around Renton. Good service and I enjoyed their drinks more than their food. I'd come back.

One of their matcha latte offering
Maiko H.

Very cute and cozy cafe. We went when it was a bit busy on a Sunday morning - more seats started clearing up after about 10 am. Had one of their matcha latte's and the avocado toast. Both were tasty - the avocado toast was a bit on the salty side for my taste but paired nicely with the sweetness of the matcha latte. A solid place to visit if you're in the area.

Ube coconut latte
Semra Q.

Wanted to try a new coffee spot post gym and this didn't disappoint! Ordered the ube coconut latte with almond milk. Definitely recommend getting it with sweetened almond milk if wanting it on the sweeter side. Personally it was a little too sweet for me so I'd probably order it again with unsweetened almond milk next time. The coconut taste was a bit overpowering but nothing too strong. Quick and friendly service!

Perfect

It's perfect every time! Friendly staff. Great original, menu selection - no pre packaged stuff.. My favorites are the croissant breakfast sandwich; and avacado toast is a close second when I am feeling healthy. Really comfortable environment - warm, inviting and relaxing. Great job to the staff.

I finally decided to stop in and see what the hype was about, because this place is always packed…read more Like, "drive by and immediately keep driving because it's too busy" packed. Curiosity eventually won, and I'm glad it did. First off, the place itself is on the smaller side, maybe around 15 tables plus a bar top, but it's well organized and efficient. You're immediately greeted by an employee who asks how many are in your party, and before you know it, you're seated with a menu and water in hand. Smooth operation so far. I went all in and ordered the red velvet waffles (because obviously), paired with a milkshake, and my partner ordered the corned beef hash. The wait time was about 20-25 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering how full the place was. When the food arrived, it was clear why people keep coming back, the portions are generous and easily shareable. The red velvet waffles were amazing. Rich, fluffy, and absolutely worth the order. The corned beef hash was clearly made from scratch, you could tell the corned beef was hand-cut, along with the potatoes and peppers. No mystery meat here. It's served with crispy hash browns and an egg cooked however you like, which is exactly how it should be. Service was great too, super friendly, genuinely nice, and very on top of things. You can tell this place has been around for a while because the staff all seem to have their rhythm down. There's a groove, and it works. All in all, this is a solid spot for breakfast or lunch, and now I understand why it's always busy. Just one important note: they're closed on Tuesdays, so plan accordingly. Enjoy!

Our waitress was very sweet, and as far as I could tell, the only one serving tables, so service was a bit slower. Food was tasty and just what you would expect for diner food. Prices and portions were great as well. Around $43 for everything ordered (food is pictured). Definitely would come back for a nice and relaxing breakfast.

The ube pancakes were so delicious and had the perfect flavor or ube. I will say a stack is probably a little too much for just 2 people haha. But I'm really glad that we shared. The rice that came with the combo-silog was also really good and stood out to me. The quality of the food was so good, and you can just tell how well-oiled this place is ran by the staff. We absolutely would come back again and try other menu items!

I got here at 11 and there was a line if 10 people with every table full. The line doe move quick, but be prepared to eat outside (or take it to go) during peak times. I got the smashwich and fruity pebbles rice krispy. We also got the matcha shokupan donut to share. Everything was excellent. The house made sausage patty on the smashwich complemented the whole sandwich well; it was crispy, fatty with amazing flavor. Pro tip if you have the passport app you can save 20% off! Only downside - I think their space is somewhat awkward for seating and overall flow. However they are doing what they can with what they have so it's not a knock on them per se, just putting it out there that the flow is a little off especially when busy.

Breakfast sandwich was the perfect balance of spice and texture (with the perfect runny yolk and…read morecrunch from the hash brown). The biscuit was good but I wish they gave you the option to warm it up. The rice krispie s'mores was not too sweet and the density was just right. I wish they did smaller sizes so you could try the different flavors or a smaller option. The brown butter bourbon latte had just the right amount of carmely, richness to it. I wish the service was more consistent. The first cashier seemed upset and wasn't very friendly. The second when I ordered coffee was much more pleasant.

We hadn't…read moretried it before, but some friends had mentioned they'd been wanting to check it out too, so we decided to give it a go. I'll be honest--the service felt a bit odd when we first walked in. We were told we could wait a while to get seated at the dinning area or that we could seat ourselves at the bar. Since it was our first time, I wasn't sure if that meant the actual bar counter or tables in the bar area. When I asked for clarification, there was a bit of an awkward pause before someone finally explained we could sit at a table in the bar section. That said, once we got settled, the experience improved. The server who took care of us was very kind and attentive. I ordered my usual go-to at breakfast spots: chicken fried steak with a biscuit. It was really good--definitely hearty and comforting without being overly greasy. That said, it is a heavy meal (fried food plus gravy), so be prepared for a post-brunch nap. The biscuit looked a little underwhelming at first, but it actually tasted great. The overall vibe of the place is very much a local dive bar feel, and the service style matches that. As long as you go in with the right expectations, it makes for an enjoyable, laid-back brunch. Also worth noting--there's a decent amount of parking in the back, which is always a plus. Overall, a solid spot for a casual, no-frills brunch.

The place really needs an overhaul and honestly I think the bathroom is in violation of major health codes. The decor is a mix mash of a variety of things, there's no rhyme or reason to it but I think it's actually ok. There's a few tv's that you can watch which I was thankful for as the Seahawks game was on. We were told to sit wherever we wanted and did just that. We were brought coffee and experienced refills during the entire meal. The waiter came to take our order and was prompt about that also. We didn't wait very long for our order. I had eggs benedict and hash browns, my husband had pancakes and hash browns. I asked for the hash browns to be extra crispy and they were just that. The eggs benedict sauce was good but needed a bit more flavor, the eggs were cooked perfectly. The portion was great. My husband, who loves pancakes said they were really good and the portion was also big. I ended taking leftovers because my portion was so big. We experience a long wait to getting a box and our check for the meal. I don't know why but it was a big irritating. The people working were very friendly. So here's the thing, this place is rundown, bigtime, it's been in place for a long time and I believe switched owners.
