    Smoothie Menu
    Teya W.

    Got the pink dream smoothie. It was pretty good, just needed a little more sweetness. Service was friendly and the cafe was cute.

    Avocado Toast with feta and tomatoes
    Marina P.

    The decor in here is very cute with comfortable chairs. There are no servers so order first and then find a seat. I ordered the avocado toast and the Dulce de Leche Crepe. The crepe was delicious and had just the right amount of sweetness. Not too rich, but still very satisfying, strawberries tasted fresh too. For the avocado toast, the avocado topping was fresh and flavorful, but the crust on the avocado toast was very hard, which made it difficult to eat at first. Overall, the food was good and I'd come back to try other items!

    Avocado toast + sweet caramel coffee

    This place is so cute! A little small because of how much customers they have! No wonder they were packed when I arrive because of how good their food is! The bagel was very crisp and delicious the avocado toast was so good! The seasonings they put hit so good! 100% recommend

    It was an overdue breakfast with a friend and she sent me 3 places to go. I am glad we chose this one. Food was really good. Nothing like them old diners. We picked the two most popular items there since it was our first time. We enjoyed our long breakfast. Thank you! Glad we stopped by!

    I went here on a visit when I was in Washington. Very cute little spot with friendly employees. The drinks were fabulous and tasted wonderful, as well as the food being picture perfect and delicious. They were still decorated with a Christmas tree and pink bows, which were adorable. A great place to have a sit down breakfast.

    Ham, egg, and cheese croissant
    Elizabeth M.

    Im a bit sad to write this review because I had a much better experience the first time I visited Sweet Notes Cafe. Unfortunately, the quality and attention to detail didn't seem to be there this time. I ordered the Ube Matcha Latte, but there was no noticeable ube flavor or color--it just tasted like a plain matcha latte. When I asked the server about it, she said that's just how they make it, which was disappointing. There was no real difference between the Ube Matcha and a regular Matcha Latte. The ham, egg, and cheese croissant was also underwhelming--the egg was completely off-center, so I had to adjust it myself. Additionally, someone in my party ordered a Chai Latte with two shots of espresso, but after tasting it, it was clear there was no espresso in it, despite paying extra for the shots. What's frustrating is that we visited during a non-busy time, so the lack of attention to detail in both food and drinks was surprising. If the fun, specialty drinks aren't going to be flavorful or made correctly, you might as well stick to the plain options. Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown.

    This cafe is soooo cute! I love pink and this place has so much pink in it! I love it! I've been here several times and I think the only downside is that often times I find that the young ladies at the register are just a little aloof. They don't really engage with the clients and look like they're not very happy being there. Customer service is super important! The food is really good and I do enjoy their coffee as well! My go to is this egg stack that comes with avocado, bacon, tomatoes, it is really tasty! It also does get fairly busy, but it's worth a try!

    Banana 4 U Matcha, Banana Foster Waffle
    Vanessa L.

    Visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it was packed, despite it being an hour before close. Servers/cashier did not seem too thrilled about me visiting around that time. Well, except one who was serving my waffles. I ordered a Banana 4 U Matcha and a Banana Foster Waffle. Matcha was seasonal and wasnt as bitter as I hoped it would be. Tasted subtly sweet instead. Banana Foster was not overly sugary and the waffles were fluffy. Generous pieces of waffles, could not finish and had to box it to eat for another day. Overall, I still recommend for a quick treat. Despite the servers, was able to read and enjoy my bite to eat for lunch.

    Acai bowl

    Got an acai bowl and the granola is so fresh and nutty and the portion was huge i couldn't even finish! Cafe was super cute and had plenty of seating and gave a good small business homey vibe!

    First I have to say that I thought I wrote this review years ago. But I guess I forgot to post it!! I'm so sorry!! My daughter and I came for some drinks to try in 2020. So I started visiting Sweet Notes when they first opened in 2020. Unfortunately a couple months later shut down happened. Then when everyone slowly opened we all came back. Because I have asthma I wasn't able to wear a mask for a long time, and as a vaccine injured person I haven't had vaccines since I was a child, us I'm allergic to most meds. The reason I'm bringing this up was because during the season of wearing mask, and showing vax cards, I asked one of the sisters if she would turn me away for service since I can't do any of what I mentioned. She said no way would she turn me away. She's a small business and I'm welcomed anytime. So I told her that out of every local business around our area, they have my support. So every week since my husband and I have been either dining in or ordering online. At least once a month my friends and I have meetings there, and all my friends frequent as much as they can. Plus the fact the food is amazing. I ordered practically the same thing every time. Hubby gets the avocado egg Bennie, I get avocado toast, and lovers crepe. Lately my hubby has been ordering the egg stack keto since we are getting older and trying to get healthy. I love their white peach iced tea that's really refreshing. I probably should try other items on their menu but I love what I get every time. My friends love their sandwiches. The sisters did a great job decorating the place. It's small but quaint, cute instagrammable decor. The one drawback about sweet notes that it's always busy. But I guess that's good for them. So I like to order online, then we pick up when it's ready. Great if you don't like waiting in line, or waiting for a table.

    Cute coffee shop. I've been here many times and their coffee is always on point for me. I love that they have seasonal coffee menu and their food is also decent -- pricey but decent. Service is straight forward-- not very engaging. The place could get really busy especially on weekends.

Son was very friendly. I was also impressed if you knew all the local names and what the regular orders were the food I got came out quick hot. The sun also made sure that my water and my coffee was all full I do need to give a warning their sign out front. It's very small and hard to find so you just gotta trust your GPS. I had to open up this app and look at the photo of the sign to figure out where it was in the plaza. I do plan on going back to this place more often. I also do like that. They have real early hours where they open up at seven in the morning. I think I might even go back and try lunch there one of these days soon because their sandwich menu looked pretty decent.

    My family and I were in the area and decided to give Mary's Fine Food a try after hearing good…read morethings about it. Pulling into the parking lot, I have to admit I wondered if my GPS had developed a sense of humor. The restaurant sits in an older strip mall that doesn't exactly scream "destination dining," but the inside has a cozy, old-school Texas diner feel that was actually pretty charming. Unfortunately, convincing my two kids that this was a better choice than IHOP turned into a losing battle almost immediately. We waited over 40 minutes for our food, which, in kid time, is roughly equivalent to serving a prison sentence. Every five minutes I was reminded that pancakes at IHOP would have already been eaten, digested, and forgotten by then. To be fair, the food was good. I ordered the Philly Scramble, and my wife ordered the California Eggs Benedict. The quality was solid, but the pricing left me scratching my head. The California Eggs Benedict, which came with tomato, avocado, and bacon, was nearly $30. For comparison, I've paid less for Eggs Benedict at places in downtown Seattle. Seeing a $28.99 Eggs Benedict in a strip mall in Kent felt like finding luxury hotel prices at a gas station convenience store. The pricing surprises didn't stop there. There are extra charges for things like splitting orders, automatic gratuity, and add-ons. We had asked for strawberries with the French toast, which may have contributed to the final bill, but it wasn't entirely clear when I reviewed the receipt. Unfortunately, the handwriting on the check was difficult to read, making it hard to understand exactly how everything was itemized. Since I wasn't completely sure what had already been included, I ended up leaving an additional tip just to avoid accidentally shorting someone. By the end, breakfast for our family came out to around $115. Now, credit where it's due: the service itself was friendly, and once the food arrived, everyone enjoyed it. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I can see why people like this place. The restaurant has a unique charm and definitely feels different from the typical chain breakfast spot. Overall, Mary's Fine Food serves good food and has a pleasant atmosphere, but the long wait times and pricing felt hard to justify for a family breakfast. Three stars. Not a bad meal, but next time my kids vote for IHOP, they may actually win the family election.

    On a Sunday late morning, instead of going to have some breakfast brunch in Tacoma at Denny's (my…read morefavorite grand slam breakfast), the family decided to eat at this classic nice restaurant. There's no parking so we had to park on the streets around the area. The decor is very nice and classic. I liked it. The breakfast menu has everything you can ask for. The service is excellent, attentive and fast. I ordered the French Toasts with bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs. The french toasts are thick and the best I've had anywhere, very moist and flavorful with maple syrup. The egg benedict looks desirable. Yes, it's only a classic American restaurant New Orlean Style but the ambient and decor make it's nice and enjoyable. Too bad that I wasn't there long enough to try the Southern Cuisine. The place is loud, so everyone can talk to their heart desire and no one would care. I think it's a great Sunday Brunch for any family. The prices are quite reasonable IMHO.

    Okay y'all... we went BACK to Back Sundays for some classic eats, and this time we brought my…read morecousin with us because apparently one visit wasn't enough. The FIRST time we went, we ordered from the dinner menu and when I tell you... EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD. We got the Jambalaya Grits BOMBBBB!!! The Cajun Chicken Pasta good. The Strawberry Chicken Arugula Salad refreshing and flavorful. And the Shrimp Delight another winner! Honestly, after that meal we were already talking about coming back for dinner again because there were SO many other things we wanted to try. So this time we came back for BRUNCH, and y'all... the Shrimp & Grits were GOOD. But the real surprise for me was the Country Fried Steak & Eggs with that jalapeño gravy. I did NOT realize I needed jalapeño gravy in my life like that. That sauce was EVERYTHING! The drinks were solid, the vibes were good, and the service was great. The desserts were probably the only thing that didn't really wow us they were kinda mid BUT honestly, everything else was easily a 10/10 in my book. And YES... we're definitely coming back. There are still too many things on that menu I need to try! BRUNCH TIP: If you want brunch, make sure you go between 9:00 AM-2:00 PM. Dinner starts at 2:30 PM, because they switch over the food/menu around then. So if you're looking for somewhere to eat, come with us! I'm always down for a good food adventure, and Back Sundays is officially on my "we need to go back" list. Food: 10/10 Vibes: 10/10 Drinks: Solid Desserts: Mid Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY.

The place gets busy with customers and other Turkish families, which is a good sign. You order up at the counter when you walk in, then you pay and they give you a number to take to your table.

I was always thought all mediterranean restaurants are the same, but this one is a little different for me. Everything has yogurt in it and I'm not too crazy about sour yogurt. The restaurant is in a little shopping center, there are actually quite a few places to park. The restaurant is very nice, clean and airy. It's a self order, and they bring the food to your table. The prices are around $20 a dish. My sister ordered all the dishes, pizza, chicken, wontons, they all looked delicious but the tastes are so different for me. The wontons are not as tasty as Chinese wontons and they're not soft. The chicken is tasty but not very flavorful. The yogurt is very sour and rich. I had some slices of pizza, but nothing to rave about. Anyhow, at least I know what Turkish food is like. This one is supposed to be the best one in Tacoma and my sister family love it. Like they say, it's not my cup of tea.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #117…read more We visited Onit Cafe on a rainy Saturday afternoon in June, hoping to score an after lunch boba. Sprinting through the downpour, as we hadn't expected the rain, we threw ourselves into this modern, yet industrial shop, where we saw a couple of people sitting inside like us to wait out the rain. We placed our order with the friendly bobarista and got our drink within a couple of minutes. Jasmine Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - The milk tea has a heavy powdery creamer flavor, but it's not gritty or silty at all. Unfortunately it's so heavy that the drink tastes almost entirely like creamer with only a tiny bit of flowery finish. It's not the most pleasant flavor due to this quality. While the creamer is on the heavier end, the sweetness is not; at half sweet it's not too sweet. The boba is very good, super bouncy and chewy with basically the ideal texture. They aren't marinated that long so aren't quite that sweet or flavorful. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Onit Cafe is one of those rare places where I liked the boba far more than the drink. I don't visit Federal Way too often, but if I'm even down there again, I'd give it another shot to see if I can get a better drink next time.

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.
