Cafe Seoul is a Korean cafe located in Federal Way in a plaza across from The Commons…read more Surprisingly, this was my first time stepping foot inside Cafe Seoul even though I frequent this area. My boyfriend and I had a long day planned ahead of us. So, we decided a fix of caffeine to start our day. I ordered the Hojicha Latte, and my boyfriend ordered the Affogato (vanilla soft serve with two shots of espresso). This was his first time ever ordering an affogato. After I questioned his choice of having ice cream for breakfast, he still went for the drink. He was surprised there was more soft serve ice cream than coffee, but I knew this would be the case. Nonetheless, he actually enjoyed it and has now incorporated making affogatos at home pretty regularly. The cafe is cute and has a nice selection of different drinks to order from coffees, teas, and matchas. There are also sweet treats like bingsu and croffles!

One of the biggest perks of Cafe Seoul is that they're open late, which worked out perfectly, so we…read morestopped by 9ish in the evening since my family was craving something sweet after stuffing ourselves at Korean bbq for dinner. I'm generally a latte person, so I went with the Matcha Pandan, and I thought it was pretty good! Most of my family was specifically craving ice cream, though, so they went for the soft serve. They have a few different drinks and desserts to choose from, making it a convenient place when everyone wants something a little different. My biggest gripe is the space (really, the lack thereof). We were a party of seven, and Cafe Seoul is extremely small and cramped inside. Seating is very limited, and we couldn't really sit together until some people left and others were kind enough to share or give up chairs. There were also a few students hanging out when we visited, so I definitely wouldn't count on this being a comfortable sit-down spot if you're coming with a larger group. The layout doesn't help much either. The menu and some of the seating are awkwardly positioned near the bathroom, and at certain points you're basically squeezing past people just to get around. For a quick drink or dessert, it's manageable, but I wouldn't personally choose this as somewhere to settle in and hang out for a long time with a big party. If you manage to snag enough seats, consider yourself lucky. Service was okay. It took a while for everyone's orders to come out, and unfortunately one of ours was completely missed. We eventually realized it hadn't even been included in the original transaction, so we had to go back up and pay for it separately. Nothing that ruined the night, but between that and the wait, service wasn't necessarily a highlight either. Cafe Seoul gets the job done and meets standard expectations. My Matcha Pandan was tasty, my family got their late-night soft serve fix, and being open later than your average coffee shop is a bonus. I wouldn't go significantly out of my way for it, but if I'm ever back in Federal Way and craving a late-night latte or dessert, I'd consider stopping by again.

Really friendly atmosphere and good drink selection!…read more This shop is located right inside a ski store but does have a good amount of seating. I saw that they also have fall exclusive items so it is likely that they have changing menu items. I went with a matcha latte with oat milk and added vanilla. I also added a bit of agave which they had available. It was a pretty solid latte but I think I would go with a coffee the next time so I could try their cold foam!

For a moment, I almost forgot I was in Washington. And finally, a café that understands the concept of personal space! Comfortable seating, proper tables, and enough room to enjoy your food without accidentally joining the conversation at the next table. Apparently, that's becoming a luxury these days. We went for the pancake and waffle platter, which looked like someone had gathered every sweet temptation imaginable and decided to throw a party. Mini pancakes, waffles, strawberries, bananas, chocolate and pistachio sauces. Quite the presentation! We also tried the chicken sandwich for a little savory balance, because apparently we needed to convince ourselves this was a proper meal and not a dessert marathon. A special shout-out to the staff, who were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The kind of service that makes the whole experience even better. Overall, Venus Café checks a lot of boxes: nostalgic vibes, lovely atmosphere, spacious seating, and wonderful hospitality. Will I be back? Absolutely. My only concern is that the menu has too many things I want to try, and my stomach hasn't agreed to the expansion plans yet.

Only reason why I lowered my rating is because of what I get when I order DoorDash delivery…read more I only live down the street but sometimes when I'm in my pjs and it's late I just want my dessert to be delivered. So I always order the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup that comes with bananas. If you noticed the ones I've ordered in the past it came with banana. But when I order DoorDash delivery, not only is it not a full cup, but it's missing bananas. Happened three times now. If they stopped adding bananas then that's a different story, but I pay extra when I order delivery, including tip. So I'm expecting to have the same service as when I'm in person. When I'm in person they all have great service, kind people. So I know they work hard, but I'm wondering why it's different for delivery when we pay more. ?

Extremely Disappointing Customer Service…read more We stopped at Huxdotter Coffee in North Bend on Friday and ordered a 16 oz PBJ Smoothie, a 16 oz Mango Smoothie, and a ham and cheese croissant through the drive-through. At the window, we received the croissant and the 16 oz PBJ Smoothie, but were handed a 12 oz Mango Smoothie. We immediately pointed out that the drink was the wrong size. Rather than simply acknowledging the mistake and correcting the order, the employee told us that the order had been entered as a 12 oz drink. We reiterated that we had specifically ordered a 16 oz Mango Smoothie. Instead of saying something as simple as, "I'm sorry, we'll remake that for you," we were told that she would have to refund the original charge and then charge us again for the 16 oz drink. Seriously? Apparently, Huxdotter has developed an innovative new approach to customer service: If we make a mistake, the customer gets to fix it. The mistake wasn't ours. We ordered a 16 oz drink, and the employee or the person taking the order entered it incorrectly. Yet instead of taking responsibility for the error and providing the customer service one would reasonably expect, we were essentially given a bureaucratic explanation of why correcting their mistake was going to require additional transactions. We were on our way to an appointment and didn't have time to wait around sorting out an issue that should have taken less than a minute to resolve. We simply said, "Never mind," and left. What is especially disappointing is that this wasn't about the cost of a smoothie. It was about how the situation was handled. Mistakes happen. Good businesses acknowledge them, apologize, and make them right. Telling the customer that they have to go through a refund and repurchase process because the business entered the order incorrectly is simply poor customer service. Unfortunately, this experience left such a bad impression that we won't be going back. There are plenty of coffee shops willing to treat their customers better.

We had to bring our pup to a specialty veterinarian nearby and stopped in afterward for breakfast and to get an oil change. We walked over from Sunset Chevrolet with our injured dog in a stroller, and the staff could not have been kinder. We ordered him scrambled eggs, and they surprised him with a bacon-topped pup cup. Several staff members even came out to our table to say hello and make him feel welcome. The food was fantastic. I ordered the HOBO, and it was absolutely delicious. My spouse had the pastrami sandwich, which was just as impressive. We sat outside - which is really nice - but the inside is super clean and very welcoming. The combination of exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and how they treated our dog made this an experience we'll remember. We'll definitely be making River's Edge Cafe a regular stop whenever we're in the area.

There's a nice variety of items here, sandwiches, soups, lunch, breakfast, etc. so there's something for everyone.

However, I'm not a fan of waiting in line to order, seating yourself, then bussing your own table only to be hit with the 20% tip options when you order. Also, I only ate one thing all day which was from here and let's just say it didn't agree with me. I'm not saying it was this restaurant, but I've been very careful about what I've been eating and the timing aligned. If you want a nice atmosphere and above average food, this is a good place as long as you consider the feedback above.

It could be a five star ring if people were a little friendlier, but maybe when you walk in, and you're not from there and people look at you like, "what are you doing here?", that could be improved upon. I would go back though, because their food seemed fresh and they even have a little produce section. Also on a different note, there are other parts of the building that I've been in previously, and I think there are rental spaces for office remote work or even just a small event -- it is a very pretty building inside and out

I ordered their 16oz latte ($4.25) which was good.
