    What a wonderful surprise this hole-in-the-wall was! In a past life I travelled the world on expense account and have eaten in many of the better restaurants out there and this little cafe is punching way above its class. We were strolling the nursery and felt peckish so we checked out what I thought was an overly ambitious menu but we ordered the spinach salad and the potato leek soup along with the house lager and hard apple cider. Every item, without exception, was delicious! The lager and the cider were tasty and unique each in their own way, the fresh salad was filled with surprising and flavorful tidbits throughout (jicama even!) and the soup was subtle and sublime. The house made vanilla ice cream was as good as I expected it would be. Overall, a great little meal in a fine and surprising venue!

    Cream of Asparagus (seasonal soup)

    Entering the amazing place that is Watson's, I was led to coffee bar with my friend. We were greeted and after a moment to put away something our hostess seated us and gave us menus. The next lady gave us waters and got our drink orders. It was still fairly early for their cafe, but our food orders were chosen and taken after some favorites were given by our waitress and food didn't take too long to appear. We got one appetizer, 2 sandwiches, and seasonal soup. Oh and mimosas! Our mimosas arrived with the seasonal soup : Cream of Asparagus (topped with pesto oil, cream, and microgreens) Sandwiches were next : Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich (a pile of chicken with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, machego cheese, garlic aioli on a brioche bun) Sun dried Tomato Grilled Cheese (arugula. Fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomato pesto, balsamic reduction on sourdough bread) Which came with the flat bread appetizer (dungeness crab, became house cheese sauce, roasted red bell peppers, Sliced red onions, and so much more) Everything came out fresh delicious and would definitely try them again! All in a greenhouse, surrounded by plants, decor, and very determined customers.

    Eggnog loaf, plain and getting dry. Pear-apple crisp delicious, latte was just Ok.

    Lovely little cafe in the back corner of the business. A friend and I decided to grab a little snack and coffee while looking at all the beautiful new festive displays. We were seated and brought water and menu. Was a bit surprised at the prices. I ordered a large latte and the last slice of eggnog loaf I spied at the counter. I really wanted a scone but they only had apple, not my fav. and there weren't any muffins. My friend had the apple pear crisp. My latte came out warm, not hot so I asked to microwave it but was told no microwave? So he remade another one which was nice and hot. Not any stand out coffee flavor but was fine. The eggnog loaf was sadly plain and dry but I didn't say anything, but did leave half behind. When asked about it at the counter while paying I did tell him nicely my thoughts on it. He said he would pass it on and appreciated my honesty. My friend loved her crisp. They must make them to order as it took a while to get. Service was pleasant. I was also surprised they didn't offer a second choice for soup, one that changes daily. Chicken soup kind of boring as a daily offering.

    I don't even like desserts but this tiramisu was divine

    We visited this hidden gem on a whim. We had no idea what to expect and boy were we surprised. The service was a little slow in the beginning but justified. The friendliness by all the staff made the wait worth it. Additionally, the atmosphere was so inviting. As for the food...having been to top tier restaurants in Washington, Oregon, California, New York, etc, we were all blown away. Granted, to be fair, seeing the price tag for the limited menu was a shock at first and we were slightly apprehensive the food would be worth the cost. Fortunately, the price, the wait was all worth it. We couldn't believe the quality of the food and the taste profiles. The fact this little gem is in the middle of Puyallup, a nursery of all places, is quite incredible. We spoke with the server to get some background on this venue and it seems the quality and/or consistency wasn't always this good. This is too bad because the current star rating they have today is not indicative of what they produce. It's way off. That said, I hope more people review so their average rating improves. I can't wait to come back.

    This is the cafe inside of the Watson's Nursery in Puyallup. We admittedly got there close to closing but there was still about an hour left and we felt pretty rushed and as if we were inconveniencing everyone. We weren't given really any table service until we asked - no menus, not a lot of attention at the table in general and the impression or pressure the whole time that we should speed up. Then we were billed separately - coffees had been gotten at the counter awhile also saying we would order food - they brought two bills, which we didn't realize at first, and they seemed a bit put out when we hadn't paid the coffee bill yet - we didn't even realize they were split like that. The food was good but very pricey. Probably would get a coffee here again but not food.

    My family and I had lunch on Mothers Day at Terrace Cafe for the first time and had the best experience! It was busy and we had a large group. Our server Sean was an absolute delight and pleasure who made our dining experience so incredibly special. Sean was so friendly, his energy was so joyous, he made us feel so welcome. I would come back again for another meal and hopefully be served by Sean again!! We all enjoyed his amazing customer service.

    Had the sun dried tomato grilled cheese. It was delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect from a restaurant in a nursery, but I was pleasantly surprised. My dad got the grilled chicken Caesar salad and loved it. The prices are a bit steep and it takes a little while to get your food, but it seems like the food is made to order and came o

    What happened to this place? I was there just a few months ago but this menu is out of joint. Got a steak sandwich with blue cheese. They poured the chimmi churri sauce ON TOP of the bun, so you had to lick your fingers in between bites to taste the sauce. Weird. Mom got the salmon and she liked nothing about it and asked the waitress to wrap it up so she could foist it on my dad. There was no sticky toffee pudding, which was the best part of their menu. I loved coming to Watsons because it always meant lunch at the Terrace Cafe, but now I think I'll pass next time and try something different when I'm in the areas.

    Steak and Gnocchi
    Lauren S.

    This is one of the best places to get lunch in Puyallup. I've been in a handful of times and have been pleased with everything I've ordered. I tried the steak and gnocchi with a blackberry chimichurri and it was fantastic. Other great things to order are the beet salad and the short ribs. Delicious I also like that they change their menu items seasonally. Service is friendly and being located in a greenhouse it's a cool spot to relax and enjoy your meal.

    Yummy pumpkin machioto

    Very good service. My waiter served me the very best pumpkin machioto I have ever had. Beautiful surroundings.

    Chicken soup

    I've been a regular at this restaurant since it opened a few months ago. I was impressed by the unique and refreshing menu. The hummus, oysters, mussels, and salads were all fantastic. However, the recent menu change was disappointing. I was told it was a summer menu, but I doubt it. The quality of presentation left with the former chef, and the taste is no longer unique. Below are pictures of the dishes from the old menu.

    Roasted veggie sandwich

    Cozy cafe in a cute nursery surrounded by plants. Family atmosphere with great service. Everyone is so nice and attentive and the food is amazing! Very fresh ingredients and friendly people. You won't regret trying it out! You may just become a regular too.

    The Brucceta toast is so good! Love the balsamic drizzle!

They make their syrups inhouse, and you can tell, even a basic caramel latte tasted like the most delicate, handcrafted drink. They have fun seasonals, they're a hit or miss obviously based on your preferences, but I love them all so far. My go to drink pairing is a cardamon and ginger latte. The inside is SO HOMEY. It's rare to find coffee shops that haven't succumbed to the hospital white aesthetic, so this is so refreshing on the head. It is the ideal shop to study in. The cups and plates are my favorite thing about this place. The cups are handmade and just so stinking cute. The baristas are so welcoming every single time I come in, they look like they just love their job and love to chat with the customers. The outside of the shop is a mint green which really throws me off because the inside is so cute. The parking situation is a little limited as well, there's a few parking spots near the shop and the rest is street parking. They have a large selection of pastries and some food but know that if you come in the afternoon there probably won't be much left, they go pretty quick. Amazing shop, it's a different aesthetic than what most shops are but it feeds that "homey" craving that I have when I want to study at a coffee shop.

    Every cup of coffee that has been sipped from Beware has been a delight. I like to view myself as…read moresome sort of coffee connoisseur and I can 100% say that this place takes pride in what they do. The wait is a little long and I feel that is because they take their time with each cup they make. Seating is scarce so if you plan to enjoy your cup inside, do come in when they open because it fills up really quick. My only recommendation if they look into the reviews is to remove the center table and put 2 more 2 seater tables if it still allows within capacity. Never change. Your coffee is great.

So as my go to guide I yelped it! And up popped Kusher Bakery. You know I had to go and today we went there. It's an Eastern European bakery, and grocery store with products from multiple Eastern Europe countries. The selections are very good and then there is the bread baked daily except on Sunday. A bonus is the fact all the fresh baked bread can be sliced for you or you can take it home and slice it yourself. Having this service is great. Dark rye, 12-grain, and others that are....... well too many and all looked delicious. There is fresh baked Lavash, soft and delicious and many of the breads were still warm and fresh. The fresh piroshki! Awesome to say the least, Chicken, Cheese, Cabbage, and Apricot were available and hot. Look you can go to the other market on 70th and get very good stuff and pay quite a lot more, or go to Kusher and get a better selection and pay reasonable prices. Yes it is smaller but bigger is not always better and having this small place is a positive. For me Kusher wins hands down. So go, look around and get some awesome stuff.

    Hot fresh bread made daily from scratch for reasonable prices. What more do you need? Oh yeah…read morepastries. !

She looked at me odd and said no we are not Dutch brothers! And I said oh normally there's pictures and or specials of the day with suggestions I just didn't know what I wanted so I was looking for some ideas. she said you're at the wrong place and you should probably leave.
