    Always great service here and one of my favorites for coffee in the area. They have a good variety of food items and smoothies also.

    Expired sandwiches after "Used by" date!
    Grace D.

    Today (12/27/2022) we went to try Cafe Elite for the very first time at this Kent location. We ordered two drinks & two French Toast Monte Cristo sandwiches. The sandwiches tasted different and stale, noticed the baristas ripped the tags/nutrition labels off both of them to try to cover up that they were expired sandwiches!! One of the sandwiches still had the date on it, "Used by 12/23"! No wonder they tasted old even after they heated them. They should not be serving EXPIRED food/drinks to customers. These sandwiches were not cheap either! The mocha drinks we ordered do not even taste like they have any espresso/caffeine in them. Definitely not going back, what a horrible first experience!

    I walked up to the drive-thru window today while going down the Green River Trail. I tried the Red Bull drink in the pink strawberry base. I also bought a sausage and bacon breakfast burrito which comes with mild salsa. Super delicious! Definitely will be coming back soon. The staff were nice and helped us decide on the drinks. The only thing I wish for is that they had some seating or a place to read like many cafés.

    GAVE ME THE DRINK AS IT WAS OVERFLOWING AND SPILLED ALL OVER ME!!!

    Horrible experience. The prices on the sign ARE NOT ACCURATE. It says a 32oz lotus is $6.50 AFTER I ordered they told me it's $8.50!!!!! I mentioned the sign price and they refused to honor it. Next, the barista is handing me the drink and AFTER it's in my hand says "it might spill" because of the fizzy lotus, IT SPILLS ALL OVER MY CAR, STEERING WHEEL, PANTS, FLOOR. Barista saw this and only offered me napkins. When I asked how much everything was with my cake pop they said it's $11.53 I gave $20.53. They gave me back $8. I asked where is my other $1? They said actually your total was $11.57?! Wtf? If I could give 0 stars I WOULD!

    Great coffee. Fast friendly service with lots of sugar free flavors options. They also have a huge breakfast menu.

    Love the drinks here! I mostly come for the lotus drinks since most coffee shops don't have it around here (only mostly up north in Everett haha) I'm glad that they have it here!

    Do not go here. Ordered a breakfast sandwich and it came out on hamburger bun. Disgusting! Coffee wasn't that great.

    Solid choice for some very special (or "designer") drinks/blends and other current favorites that…read moreare in line with current foodie trends! When I walk in here, I feel like I'm inside a warehouse or large parking garage, solely because of the large door near the entrance to this place. Inside, it's blasting K-pop music, and has some tables to sit at. There's also some arcade machines and a photo booth. You order your drinks up at the counter using their kiosks, and they have a bunch of uniquely named drinks like their other location in Cap Hill, with some that are simply just strawberry matcha and mango matcha drinks, though this does keep in line with what a ton of people are crazily lining up for in this day and age (including myself). Since I simply got my drink and sat with my friend, I don't have anything to mention about service here. I got their No. 5 Elixir, which is a mixture of charcoal mango lemonade and a lot of mango bits. First and foremost, I'm happy that it didn't stain my teeth as I drank it, haha. But more importantly, it's sweet and tangy and was very refreshing even though weather was somewhat gloomy when I went. This is a very chill place to hang out at, and I can see myself coming here for a quick designer drink/blend. As of this writing, I still haven't tried all their stuff yet!

    Happy to see Drip Tea opening in Kent. The boba and clothing concept is cool…read more What I liked: + Friendly service. I asked for some recommendations for milk tea, and the girl who works there gave me some recommendations. +Spacious and comfortable space - I visited on a weekday and I was the only customer. I can see it being busy with people chatting and playing boardgames on the weekend. What needs improvement: Boba! I almost lowered by rating because the boba did not have a good texture. This time I tried Hojicha Milk Tea, which had a powdery texture and was alright. But I've had other drinks like Post Melona and enjoyed it better. I would definitely go for a fruity tea or blended drink

    So I've been frequenting this branch for a few years, along with a few others. They do get busy,…read morebut I don't feel they get as busy as other locations because it's pretty tucked away and hidden. It's off the side of a narrow road so you pretty much have to know it's here or search it in advance. Personally, what I look for in a coffee place Is service that is courteous and doesn't make you feel rushed, items that support their descriptions, and at least a couple of unique rotating seasonal offerings. And Big Foot meets all of those factors for the most part. Where it differs is consistency and uniqueness. I live for ordering the beautiful seasonal drinks, which are pictured on their giant menu board with whipped cream, sauces, sprinkles, etc. Out of the hundreds of drinks I've ordered over the years, I can honestly say I might have received 10 or less as pictured. Sometimes, I might not even get the drink I ordered at all. But I'll never send it back, I know how it is. And I get the shortcuts, too - they're just baristas trying to get the line moving. Most of them look pretty exhausted. All of the locations are open 24 hours a day, so this is probably why most of them ask me for my coffee options several times because they've already forgotten them. Just today, I ordered my drink and the barista was starting to make a cold brew instead of what I ordered. Anyways, I digress. It happens. The coffee presentation wouldn't be a big deal for me if it wasn't for the lack of uniqueness. The seasonal offerings are just a recycled mix of the flavors they already have. For example, it's October and I just tried the Full Moon iced latte and based on the taste it's just white chocolate and macadamia syrups. Where's the pumpkin? Where's the cinnamon and other harvest flavors? These are the things I'm looking for. Since these factors are pretty subjective, I gave it four stars. They're clean and get the job done. All in all, if you're looking for a coffee place that's open 24 hours a day, definitely check them out. You might have a different experience than me.

    How was this review over 6 years ago?! Def needs an updated review:…read more Stopped in here yesterday during my quick lunch break. Ordered the tofu sandwich and matcha with the soft foam. My order total ended up to be around $14. First off, the tofu sandwich!! I'm not sure how they used to make it 6 years ago, but now I'd say it is one of the best I've tried. The sandwich came out warm, they sauté the tofu in a sauce, which I'm guessing is oyster sauce and it gives it a lot more flavor. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. For the matcha, I was not expecting it to be anything special since it's a boba shop. After taking the first sip, I was shocked on how rich the matcha was and it was delicious!

Their banh mi always have a large helping of meat coupled with the freshest cucumbers, carrots, jalapeños and other garnishes. Xavia was one of their main employees back then, and has remained a steadfast employee for them. It is always reassuring to see her familiar face and catch up with her. Now, 6 years later I am still coming here to get crispy pork belly banh mi and have started getting the hazelnut milk tea with boba. I haven't drank bubble tea in a long time and wasn't sure what to order. Ngi recommended the hazelnut milk tea with boba and I was not disappointed! I recently became a painting contractor. I don't have an office yet. So Goatea owners Tan & Tran have been incredibly nice and have been letting me use their space to hold interviews and new hire one-on-ones. As a new business owner, I really appreciate them helping me out! I definitely recommend Goatea for their delicious food, tasty bubble teas, and welcoming staff!
