This place has such a cozy, welcoming vibe with plenty of seating to sit back and actually enjoy your drink (bonus points for offering real "for here" cups!). Their selection is impressive--everything from classic coffee drinks to a variety of pastries, plus even beer and other beverages if you're stopping by later in the day. I had a savory biscuit with cheese and herbs that was great and the perfect pairing with my cortado. There were tons of other tempting options too, from pastries to bagels and more. Overall, just a really nice spot with great offerings and a relaxed atmosphere. Such a great find--I'll definitely be back!

My go-to is a 16oz iced oat milk with mocha and I love how perfectly the chocolate is incorporated into the drink every time. No matter how long it takes me to finish my drink, if the ice all melts or I drink it quickly, it tastes delicious. I just wish they had better food. I don't love how greasy their croissants and sandwiches are. I wish they had better breakfasts or served food with protein that was less oily. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a sandwich I've gotten from here, and I swear I try them at least every other month. The vibes totally make up for their gross sammies and are my favourite thing about this place!! I love coming here for a reading date or to craft and yap with friends. It feels like such a community oriented space and I love getting to enjoy it with my friends. I just wish they were open later than 6pm.

It was so relaxing even our dog sat quietly and people watch. Do try this place with tea services too. Presentation is always stunning.

We were seated at a large table, and it was beautifully decorated. After twenty minutes, someone came by to talk about the teas. We ordered our pots, and she said they would be out shortly. We got the tea and were told we could try any other tea. She brought out tiers of little snacks, and then didn't come back for an hour. I think she was busy with other customers but there were two additional workers. One of my friends asked one of the other workers for a different tea, and she came by and said "he's just the host." Ok, well he could have still given you the order, or you could have come by and asked if we wanted a different tea? I really wanted to recommend this place, and bring my daughter back with her friends but for $565 for 7 people, the food you see, and one pot of tea for each guest, I'm going to pass.

Bobae Coffee & Tea is a popular spot for boba, treats and all things sweet in the Seattle area…read more Like its Kirkland location, this Issaquah one offers all the yummy favorites and their seasonal donuts, which are a must when they're available. Located in a small business strip in Issaquah across from the Gilman Village, parking is easy to find in the lot, but it can be limited with the space and other businesses around. Inside, the shop is very cute, with pastel decore, velvet seats and tables, and plenty of places for photo ops. I ordered the ube matcha latte and the seasonal pandan donut, which were both good. I love ube, so was glad to know that they make their own ube flavoring here, which was the best part of the drink. I also liked the pandan donut, but it was very sweet and rich. The menu offers a lot to choose from, with different drinks and treats, including those you can see in the case, such as the ube cookie, ube basque cheesecake, etc. Glad to know Bobae has another spot on the Eastside, making it easy for me to get to.

I enjoy this location has free parking and seating inside but feel this location could be more welcoming in many ways. I was the third customer and it wasn't busy yet (said by an employee to another employee who was late), but the employee rushed me talking extremely fast and in a let's get this over with tone. But the two behind me were regulars and got a very relaxed tone, slower pace convo, and smiles. She remembered their names which is cool but she could've smiled at me like she did to them and not rush me? Just a little unwelcoming to those who are not regulars tbh. Also if there is seating inside why are there no trash cans around? I had to throw my donut wrapper and napkin trash in the restroom since all trashes were behind the counter and again the employees were caring for the regulars. The regulars behind me also were given napkins with their donuts and I was not so after I heard the male employee offer napkins to them I went up and asked for one since he never gave me one or asked if I wanted one...Just felt like my business did not matter compared to the regulars which is disappointing being honest. Maybe they should keep napkins and a trash readily available for customers in the lobby since they do have seating inside which would make sense and is the norm?... My Goma Goma drink with oat milk and standard sweetness was delightful and finally got my hands the famous donuts! I tried a matcha donut and honestly probably one of the best donuts I've ever had. The dough is so soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet with plenty of matcha filling as they don't skimp! The donuts are big! Soooo delicious. I love Bobae but this location isn't my go to.

Have been here couple of times so far. Tried meze platter, menemen, Turkish bread, simit (Turkish sesame bagel), Turkish coffee, tahini cookie, chicken sandwich, Turkish tea. Pros: Cozy and clean Very darling place Great atmosphere It was so wonderful to hear the staff speak Turkish language, very dear to me as I grew up in the region. Nice presentation in authentic dishes. Delicious bread Good chicken sandwich Food tastes very fresh Good tea Cons: Place is very small inside and crowded on weekends. There's seating outside but if it rains you're SOL because there are no umbrellas to cover the tables. You'd think that the owners would take care of it considering it rains almost all the time. Turkish coffee was a great disappointment. It's my favorite coffee, I make it at home often. It just didn't taste good. Good quality coffee is not supposed to create acidity in your stomach. This coffee did. Service is lacking. I don't care for overly pleasing in your face service, but still appreciate it when the staff is reasonably interested to accommodate. After all restaurant business is about service. You just don't feel welcomed in this place. Simit was a great disappointment. It just doesn't taste like anything. Definitely doesn't taste like traditional Turkish simit. Simit is one of the most delicious foods out there! Menemen was bland. Considering that the food is nothing crazy amazing prices are very high. Just ok: Meze was ok. I wouldn't order it again though. Tahini cookie was ok too. Wouldn't order it again. Part of me wants to come back and give it another chance but 2 previously very mediocre experiences keep telling me not to.

The area was smaller than expected, but clean with a limited selection of bakeries and lots of cake slices. I was surprised to see how expensive the cakes were, even some of my favorite breads like the coconut cream were closer to $4 each! Unfortunately, given the current economy, I believe this is now the standard cost of dessert breads. I got two breads and one drink! The green tea bun was great- there was a generous amount of filling, and the combo of mochi with cream was very satisfying. The pineapple bun was also delicious, I loved that there was filling inside which kind of reminded me of a cocktail bun/custard bun. Both breads had the standard Asian bakery texture that I love- soft, chewy, and not too sweet or dense. The milk tea flavor was a great combo, though I found the drink to be pretty sweet at 50%. Of the two pastries, the green tea is my favorite! Overall, the bakery tasted as good as I remembered. However, given its prices, I don't see myself coming back often.

The lady was super nice. It's a tiny place and a one-woman run shop. It was a personable and cute experience. I wanted a fancy iced coffee because it was a bright and sunny day in Issaquah. I chose Kathy's special mocha, which was a white coffee with chocolate and caramel. It was delicious. Not too sweet, but very creamy. It didn't even taste like coffee, which makes me wonder what white coffee means. The little coffee shop also has a variety of other drinks some of them involving red bull or lotus energy. I liked the creativity, but I'd personally only come here for coffee and maybe a smoothie or one of their baked goods. They also have sandwiches. There was a daily special sign that said specialty drinks are 10% off, but I didn't see the sign until after I ordered and idk if my drink counted as a specialty drink or if I got the discount. Haha. Oh well. It felt good to support a local business even though drinks are half off at Starbucks every Friday in May. They weren't getting much other business while I was there even though the taco place was crowded with people. I felt a little bad. If you ever find yourself in Issaquah and are looking for a nice coffee, this might be your place! I know I enjoyed it!

Last time I came was a younger gal with freckles who was nice - I ordered a drink with white coffee and white chocolate and I got regular espresso. It was fine and the shots actually tasted good so I wasn't mad. This time I came at 4:54 google says they're open til 6. I actually waited in downtown traffic to get there because I really wanted a coffee from here since I'm not always in the area. I pull in and I notice the open sign is off on this side but wasn't on other. I pull up and the same younger girl from last time opens the window and says they've just closed. I look down now 4:55. I'm like well that's a weird time to close. So I ask what time they close and she says 5 o'clock. Look. I was a barista for 7 years. I get cleaning up but I always left a side of the machine til close. Hell I would have been okay if she said I just cleaned my machines but I can offer energy, tea etc they don't even require clean up. If you're open til 5 be open til 5. If google and maps says 6 please fix it because I went thru traffic wasting time trying to support your business. I wouldn't have tried to make it minutes before close if that was accurate. And employee girl- do better. For your boss and for your customers... if you're open til 5 be open til 5. You can manage your time efficiently to have it closed and cleaned. But also just care about the business and people. Not just about getting out of there. Trust me the world notices.
