Little shop with some interesting ice cream flavors. Reminds me of the mom and pop shops i used to…read morevisit growing up. I tried several different options and my server was very helpful and polite the entire time. Each flavor was suprosingly tasty. I went with 2 different flavors with sour candy toppings. So good. I dig the setup but it did feel a bit small. There was only one other couple that showed when I was there. It did feel odd being inside with them at the same time so i decided to move to their outdoor seating. I wish i came with a date. I would recommend this place, but large parties need to be aware of the small interor before coming. Maybe plan ahead. Also parking is ok, so be ready for that also

This place is such a hidden gem! They don't have as many flavors as other ice cream shops, but the…read moreflavors that they do have is very good! I chose their cookies and cream ice cream with Oreo topping and I loved it. The ice cream felt fresh and I liked the amount of sweetness it had. The oreo topping tasted fresh as well. I did their mini scoop and which is around $5, which I say is fair. The service was good! The server was friendly and allowed us to try any flavors we were curious about. The ambiance is nice! There's this small area with small furniture to sit at by the front. It's cute haha. There's regular seating at the front though

In a nutshell, Seattle Malasada is simply amazing! I feel they set the standard of what a malasada…read moreshould taste like. I'm impressed with how the dough holds up for hours and doesn't get completely oily and stale-tasting. I don't think they make any bad flavors. Each malasada tastes delicious, fluffy, and bursting with filling. I recommend getting it dusted with Original Sugar (sugar with a pinch of cinnamon). If you can't decide, the owners told me that Mango and Bavarian Cream are their best sellers. Heads up that Seattle Malasada is located in Red Apple Market in South Park and not Des Moines. Des Moines is only the street! ;-)

Very cute spot! We did not try the doughnuts but I would 100% come back to try!…read more We had the strawberry freeze with lychee jelly and a jasmine milk tea with boba pearls. I thought the freeze was really good and wasn't overly sweet! I feel like a lot of boba places makes these way too artificially sweet but this was good! 4.5/5 The jasmine milk tea was also really good but the boba was lacking. Not soft like a lot of other places and lacking flavor. 3/5

I remember…read morecoming here for the first time when they just opened and received good service from some who seemed to be the owner. Don't remember having to pay for a sauce for 0.50 cents as well. Today I went and was charged extra for the sauce. I think it should be coming with food purchase as they also states on their menu picking a sauce is step 2 after step 1: Choose ingredient for corn dog. I hope to see the change in general soon!

They are always friendly, kind, and accommodating for my schedule. And the Poi and Kulolo is winnazread more

It is so difficult to find spots that sell butter mochi and chi chi dango, but this location makes it perfect. Uncle and aunty are so friendly and I feel like I have an extension of home when I am with them and enjoying the food. The service is quick and the pop-up in nice areas/events all around. They sell out fast every single time, so catch them right when they open!

We had a little family day out at Alki Beach on a Friday evening, and after walking around, we…read moreneeded a snack. Decided to stop by Natalie's Sugarcane. First of all, I didn't realize they have TWO locations! one in Tukwila, which I go to pretty often, and this one right by Alki. But y'all, WHAT IN THE TARNATIONS?! The Alki location is such a VIBE! It was a beautiful sunny day, and sitting there with the warm weather, Vietnamese music playing, and the food coming out... I swear I felt like I was back in Southeast Asia for a minute. I do wish they decorated the outdoor seating area a little more to really lean into that tropical Southeast Asian vibe because the location has SO much potential, but honestly, the atmosphere was already giving. And here's what surprised me: I didn't realize Natalie's at Alki serves REAL FOOD! We got: Crab & Shrimp Fried Rice SO GOOD. Flavorful, packed with seafood, and definitely hit the spot. Mango Salad , Y'ALL!! THIS ONE?! The combination of fresh mango and avocado on a sunny day was PERFECT. Sweet, fresh, creamy, refreshing. I could've eaten the whole bowl myself! Literally almost did had to share LOL! we got Fries because honestly, you can never go wrong with fries. And of course, you already know we had to get the drinks! Their kumquat sugarcane drink is always a good choice. They also have gelato at this location, which I didn't even know! So now I already have another excuse to come back and try more of their menu. Tukwila location does have food but menus are a little different, so now I definitely need to go back and compare! Overall, Natalie's Alki is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're spending the day at Alki Beach. Grab some food, get yourself a sugarcane drink, sit outside, listen to some Vietnamese music, and pretend you're on vacation in Southeast Asia for an hour.

I will stick to my usual of either Kumquat or Passionfruit Sugarcane. They also offer pastries, ice cream and food. And there are both indoor and ourdoor seatings available. In general, great spot to chill on Alki!

The pictures were helpful but wanted to try something off of their sugarcane drinks since that's what they're known for. I wanted to get the passionfruit sugar cane, but they were out of it that day. I ended up getting the pennywort sugarcane. Pennywort is a plant so I expected it to taste a little earthy. Service was a little delayed since we came during a rush. They took everyone's orders first, then made the drinks. Not sure if they forgot or were rushed and didn't put sugarcane in mine since it didn't have much sweetness to it. The pennywort tasted like spinach water and it was not my favorite. Maybe would have been better if the ratios had more cane juice. I tried my friends mango smoothie and that was delicious - so next time I know what to get and what not to get. Will try to come back since there's such a variety of drinks. There's also food options but other patrons had just ordered drinks.

I believe Boss Tea is one of only two boba shops in Beacon Hill/Rainier Valley, with the other…read morebeing Happy Lemon. Since I'm more fond of supporting Mom & Pop shops, I decided to stop by Boss Tea first. This boba shop is shared with a Banh Mi Deluxe - in fact, I'm not really sure if it's actually a separate business at all and just has different signage outside. At any rate, the place is basically take out only. While there are four stools available, the counter space is taken over by potted plants, so there's not really any flat surface to rest any drinks or food. That works for me, but it's something to be aware of. Since this was my first visit, I went with the black milk tea/special. Boss Black Milk Tea, Less Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - This is a mixture of two different types of brewed tea, mixed with liquid creamer and syrup. The creamer and syrup are hand measured and mixed, so it's not as consistent as other shops using machines. Each sip has a pretty harsh sweetness that really hits the back of the throat. The drink is pretty creamy and the tea has almost a bit of a spiced note to it. Still, overall I found the sweetness to be too harsh and overpowering. There's a slight fruity sweetness on the exterior of the boba. The boba is soft and the texture feels kind of like a particularly leathery jelly. The teeth slice through the pearls easily with little bounce back. The pearls stiffen up a bit as they sit in the cold drink, which increases the firmness and bounce a little bit, but they never reach an especially bouncy state. I think this might be old boba that wasn't rotated correctly. They give a lot of boba in the cup, but unfortunately it's just not that pleasant to eat. Milk Tea Rating: 3.5/5 Boba Rating: 2.5/5 They also have a fridge that sells flan and Vietnamese yogurt. I was full from lunch so I unfortunately couldn't try them. Note: Boss Tea charges a 3% card fee Bathrooms - None

What happened to the "mochi" in Mochinut?…read more These used to actually have that sticky, stretchy, glutinous-rice chew that made mochi donuts worth buying. Now they taste like regular donuts that briefly heard about mochi from a friend. Barely chewy, way more floury, soft and bready, and honestly not much different from a normal donut anymore besides the shape and the price. If your entire brand name is MOCHINUT, maybe the mochi part shouldn't be missing in action. At this point they should just rename it "Donut" because the mochi clearly got laid off. Bring back the old texture. I'm not paying mochi-donut prices for a regular donut doing cosplay.
