While I have cafes I prefer in Lakewood, I wanted to try something new, so I found EM Boba & Coffee after looking up places online I ordered the Vietnamese coffee with the egg cream topping. I go to quite a few Vietnamese cafes in Seattle, so I have my standards. Unfortunately, their coffee did not meet my standards at all. The coffee tasted like it was made straight from one of those Vietnamese instant coffee packets. I do drink that here and there at home, but it's not the kind of taste I want from a cafe. The egg cream was pleasant though and helped make it taste better. I probably wouldn't come back for the coffee, but I'm still interested to see what the other drinks were like.

Stopped by Topside Coffee Cabin on my way to Anderson Island and enjoyed my time at this little…read morecozy coffee shop. I ordered the Salty Sailor and got my drink in 5 minutes. Although funny, literally the drink wasnt salty as the drink titles itself. It tasted of sea salt caramel, a bit sweet but smoky. I cozied myself up on one of the tables seated by the view of Steilacoom. People nearby were on their laptops studying and working. Others stopped by to cozy up in their booths to talk and enjoy their coffee as they too waited for their ferry to arrive. The vibe was great. Overall, I will come back here again when im near the area. Felt comfortable, welcomed, and it wasnt overly packed.

The employees are exceptionally nice - I was on speakerphone with my sister once when I pulled up, and she commented later how kind they sounded when we chatted after my order.

As someone who deals with chronic fatigue and pain from several issues, Cutters Point is the one true thing that eases my fatigue and gives me the shot for my day to pick me up and motivate me. I can't speak highly enough of this place!!

My Friends ordered the hojicha with cream, corn einspanner, and I ordered the Korean sweet potato latte. With that being said, I was looking for something less sweet, and Korean sweet potato latte is definitely not it. Luckily there are other drinks here and their americano is refreshing and delicious. I will be back to try their kroffles.

There is not a lot of seating, which is not a problem. It kind of gives off a more intimate vibe this way. I'm not a coffee drinker like my wife, but the refreshers make up for it. The dessert options are great, with cheesecakes, and regular cake options. The croffles range from dessert style to savory options. I don't have a favorite yet, as there a more to try. This is a favorite place for me and my wife.

I ordered a an tiki drink that's a signature but requested no lime, a white chocolate mocha with banana, pizza bagel and a jalapeni bagel. The sign clearly states to order first which is what I did and they made the bagels after giving us the drinks. I did not correct the drink due to just being so confused on how the sequencing of service was but also being a regular previously and recommending others. I am just so sad this morning.

The restaurant is clean and the staff come to refill or grab dirty plates quite often. My boyfriend got the lavender latte and two eggs and sausages while I got the smoked honey ham eggs benedict and a rose lemonade. I forgot that the specialty lemonades are not free refill but they do give you a lot. The lavender latte was soothing and the rose lemonade was light. The food came not too long after and the portions here are huge. My boyfriend's order came with a side of blackberry jam that was fantastic. I believe it is housemade and I need to see if they sell it because it is some of the best jams ever. Even has actual pieces of blackberry! They gave me so much ham and the hollandaise here paired well with everything, I even had a bit of jam with it and the flavors were simply divine.
