Ice cream flavors are a mixture of classics, and things like cardamom and matcha, providing interest and not just oddball spices for the sake of quirkiness. As far as I can tell, Always Summer isn't part of a chain, but the look and feel of the space is very polished and coordinated. Between their merch display, and the forest of ice cream scoops hanging from the ceiling, the design aesthetic stands out. The people behind the counter were friendly and efficient, just what you would hope for in this type of establishment.

They even had a gulab jamun inspired ice cream, which really caught my attention. There were four of us, so we ordered a sundae with a brownie and two scoops of ice cream - it was generous and easily enough to share. It was my first time having a brownie served warm with ice cream, and I absolutely loved that touch. The fruit flavors were especially enjoyable, particularly the mango and banana chocolate chip. The cardamom flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste, but the mango was definitely a standout. The staff were incredibly patient and let us sample as many flavors as we wanted, all with a smile. I'll definitely be coming back!

Tropical Berry is one of my favorite spots, and I find myself coming here at least once a week…read more Julio and Chris are amazing and have put so much love and care into their business. You can really feel the passion they have for creating a welcoming experience and serving high quality food. The açaí is fresh, imported, and absolutely delicious. There are so many toppings to choose from, so it's easy to customize your bowl exactly how you like it. Everything always tastes fresh, and the portions are generous. I've been sticking with my usual order because it's so good, but I definitely want to try the passion fruit next. If you're looking for an amazing açaí bowl made with quality ingredients and served by genuinely kind people, Tropical Berry is the place to go!

I settled on a chocolate peanut butter covered sandwich cookie, a S'more cupcake, and a key lime cheesecake. The gal who helped me was kind and helpful. Everything we had was delicious. I will definitely pop in again for more treats soon. I like that they are open until 5pm on weekdays. Bakeries tend to close on the earlier side and it's nice to have them as an option. It was an unexpected surprise to find this lovely shop in Kenmore - I'm so glad I did!

Ended up with their delicious chocolate cupcakes (so busy eating, I don't snap a photo) and some rice crispy treats . I'm a sucker for a good rice crispy treat and these are amazing!

I would have loved my drink if it was half as sweet. Also, I made the mistake of ordering for pickup through the DoorDash app, only to realize it's a whole dollar more per drink on the app vs in-store. Even at the in-store prices, their drinks are more expensive based on volume compared to what you would get at Happy Lemon or Sharetea, for example. Drinks were promptly ready at the promised time and staff were very friendly.

I ordered the Combo Pod (with chicken masala and paneer masala) and a Lassi. The Combo Pod is a pretty hefty portion. Everything had so much flavor and ingredients tasted fresh and well cooked. Only advice is to skip adding the egg...gives you more protein but didn't really add to the flavor or textures as much. Lassi was delicious too. Just the right about the mango and yogurt flavor and too sweet or tart. I would definitely order again or even go to one of their locations. It's a great deal if you're looking for a casual Indian flavor fix.

One of the best choux pastry desserts I have ever had. Strawberry Shortcake Tart- delicious Danish Cardamom Bun- Just ok. We could not really taste the cardamom and it is not at all like the ones you get in Scandinavia Beef Khachapouri- we warmed this in the oven and a massive amount of grease came out. Way too greasy. So we would not get the bun or the khachapouri again. But the choux and tart were delicious. And I'd be very interested in trying other items. This is a very pricey bakery, but nice for an occasional treat.

I did not realize that One Bite Cafe took over the former Great Harvest Bread. I had checked out One Bite Cafe before in Seattle's Roosevelt neighborhood out of curiosity regarding croffles, but it didn't not leave a lasting impression at the time (open since 2019, with that visit in July 2022). However, when The College Friend set up a meet up at the Lake Forest Park site yesterday (open since May 2022, this visit on 4/9/26). There is an interior entry from the two level retail area and an exterior entry adjacent to the big shared parking lot. It took me a few tries until I found a spot. I was kindly greeted upon entry while the counter person was assisting the customer ahead of me. I ordered and paid directly on the convenient touch screen kiosk located to the left of the main register. I liked the interior transformation. Lots of onsite seating configurations and pleasant decor. Overhead music played the Beatles, which was a pleasant surprise. The wrap around pastry cases with well placed menu placards showed the variety of menu offerings. There's a wide variety of bevs, sweet and savory pastries, desserts, sandwiches, and even gluten free items from NuFlours. I ordered a 22oz iced classic milk tea with 75% sweetness and no toppings, plus some Korean sausage bread. The College Friend decided on a toasted Reuben with chips. We also shared a Portuguese egg tart. We were onsite for three hours. I noticed a constant stream of customers who also dined onsite, as well as, folks getting items to go. I appreciated observing the consistent pleasant and helpful counter staff, all with welcoming smiles! I learned that One Bite Cafe has grown to four sites: Seattle/Roosevelt, Lake Forest Park, Woodinville, and Federal Way. That's great to see ongoing success for this local, indie cafe chain. Lake Forest Park Town Center is lucky to have a variety of cafe, bar, and restaurant destinations. One Bite Cafe gets a collective 5 star for this first time visit.
