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.

Definitely recommend visiting if you're near for some coffee. A treat for those who live nearby.

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.

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. ?

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #117…read more We visited Onit Cafe on a rainy Saturday afternoon in June, hoping to score an after lunch boba. Sprinting through the downpour, as we hadn't expected the rain, we threw ourselves into this modern, yet industrial shop, where we saw a couple of people sitting inside like us to wait out the rain. We placed our order with the friendly bobarista and got our drink within a couple of minutes. Jasmine Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - The milk tea has a heavy powdery creamer flavor, but it's not gritty or silty at all. Unfortunately it's so heavy that the drink tastes almost entirely like creamer with only a tiny bit of flowery finish. It's not the most pleasant flavor due to this quality. While the creamer is on the heavier end, the sweetness is not; at half sweet it's not too sweet. The boba is very good, super bouncy and chewy with basically the ideal texture. They aren't marinated that long so aren't quite that sweet or flavorful. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Onit Cafe is one of those rare places where I liked the boba far more than the drink. I don't visit Federal Way too often, but if I'm even down there again, I'd give it another shot to see if I can get a better drink next time.

Such a unique and fun menu, mostly all music inspired! I ordered a Raspberry Beret and it was…read moredelicious! My scone was flaky and light, not overly dense and had just the right amount of icing. They have a nice selection of baked goods as well as some deli items if you're looking for a meal. The atmosphere was really cool- the coffee shop has two other buildings to choose from to enjoy your coffee and conversations. Inside the main building, there's a fireplace and garage doors that can open up to flow into the outdoor seating area. One of the other buildings actually has an encased "treehouse" you can choose to use (so cool!!!). The service was attentive, and the employees were really friendly and helpful. This is our new coffee spot now whenever we visit family in WA, we loved everything about it, and we wish we had one in Bskers

This was our first time visiting the Ebony and Ivory Coffee location in Federal Way. The cafe is absolutely beautiful. The ambiance and environment of this location is worth visiting again. I was ordering drinks and food for three people. Our order consisted of the Dreamgirl Matcha, Tidalwave Latte, Northwest Tea, two Sunrise Breakfast Wrap, and a Turkey Bacon Croissant. This ended up being quite expensive...A lot more expensive than I expected, which is unfortunate because I now realized that none of the items on their menus list a price. As much as we enjoyed the food and drinks here, we felt wronged realizing we had no idea the cost of anything before it got rung up. The staff members taking care of our orders were really sweet though and helpful. They made sure we had all the items we needed before we left the cafe; napkins, straws, and drink holder.
