sadly a deeply mediocre experience. took absolutely forever (in part because there was only one guy…read moreworking the whole shop, which isn't feasible when you are trying to serve hot food AND make drinks) and the food/coffee was mid and overpriced. i had an avocado toast (and even asked if they use fresh avocado, to which they said yes)...it was ice cold pre-packaged avocado atop cold bread. for $7.50!! my husband ordered the ham breakfast sandwich which came lukewarm. all this after we waited about 15 minutes. and again, i feel for the guy who was clearly running this place by himself. but they're just trying to do too much. coffee was also pretty mid, another $5 latte prepared without much care or attention. just fizzy oat milk dumped into a cup. when it's $30 + tip for breakfast and coffee for two to-go, i'd just expect a lot more. also, i see a lot of other people like the ambiance?? very confused by this, it's just another textbook standard gentrified coffee shop with an expensive letterboard, industrial lighting, and metal chairs.

A small, compact parking lot shared with other businesses and an even more compact interior with…read morefew seats partially characterize this Vietnamese cafe with a bunch of tasty items especially banh mi sandwiches. I got here on a Friday around 5:20pm, thoughI'm not sure why I decided to drive so far off Seattle. As mentioned, there's only a few tables for seats spread around the corners of the inside, with a small fish tank and a grassy backdrop on the left-hand side of the wall. The menu is lined up on the right-hand side and features all of the items, though their matcha drinks menu is located above the front counter, along with their new items. Staff at the front take your order and bring your food to you when it's ready. For their food I got the following: - Banana pudding matcha: I couldn't tell this was ceremonial matcha till I put my straw farther down the drink past the thick banana pudding layer, and sipped in all those grassy, earthy tones matcha is known for. I got to eat some part of the banana pudding - which has cracker bits that are lighter in color than Biscoff crackers but tasted like them - before stirring a small part of it to finish off this awesome drink that could give places like Phe a run for their money. - Eden Garden special: this is a relatively simple banh mi sandwich with Vietnamese ham and slightly scrambled - and very hot - eggs along with the usual banh mi condiments like jalapenos and julienned carrots. I probably wanted even more protein in this despite the ham and eggs already being that; the banh mi felt like it was missing something. Bread isn't crispy by any means but it is served very warm, therefore it was really easy to chew. It oddly didn't make to much of a mess when I took big bites off it; most of the mess came from some of the condiments - especially the eggs - falling off. Overall I loved this place a lot with the matcha and banh mi I got here! It's quite out the way of Seattle but lately some interesting hidden gems with better taste profiles have not been in the heart of this state, like this place for instance. I hope this place can last for a long time, and I'll be back for their other items!

Cleanliness and service has improved. I was greeted kindly by the friendly woman working who even…read morebrought my drink and food to me. Before payment she even reminds you and asks you if you have your drink punch card. I saw a young male employee bring out drinks to a couple and asked how they were doing which was nice. All smiles and clean atmosphere this visit. Drink and food is yummy like usual. I finally tried the fish sauce chicken wings which were large and my favorite part was the crunch. Perfectly crispy and tasty sauce. Not too much or too little sauce. Great wings. I tried the Banana Pudding Matcha and it was delicious. Very satisfied. The parking lot is small and a bit tight but I never have a problem finding a spot or getting in. Good location. I will be back. I recommend the Banh Mi Pho, Avocado Smoothie, and Thai Green Milk Tea. I look forward to trying the egg cloud coffee and beef ragu next visits.

When we visited my grandparents in Oak Harbor, we would always stop and my parents would get some coffee for the road. My dad was the drip coffee guy, my mom the vanilla latte lady, and my sister the caramel macchiato and baked goods girl. I got the frappuccinos a few times before being told I needed to lose weight by doctors (unrelated to the beverages). After that, when we stopped I decided to get nothing or maybe some fruit, helped greatly with my waistline. While I was a runner and competed in multiple sports, my sister had a fast metabolism, could eat and drink whatever she wanted, not exercise and not gain weight. My approach, however, saved more money in the long run. Workers were typically in good moods, though the interior could get quite crowded and the line temperament largely depended on the people, and the mood of those people, in line. Merchandise was also available for purchase, that while a bit pricy could be helpful for gift ideas.

You know it's good when you immediately want another the day after. Thank you so much for such a great experience, I had had an emerald city smoothie from a different location once before that almost deterred me from wanting to try again (just very liquified and not thick smoothie consistency, which is super important to me).
