    THIS PLACE IS THE BEST, maybe even heaven sent, coffee stand I have ever been to!!! I'm so bummed I live so far away because I would probably come here twice a day. At first I didn't see it and maps showed it was in the gas station parking lot on the corner but then I saw it was just slightly past there. I also couldn't figure out where the drive up window was but I think that's cause I'm just half blind my baristas name was also named Jade (just without the y like my name) so that already made me LOVE her! She had outstanding customer service, over the top friendly, and quick. While she was making my drink, someone walked in and she was able to make our drinks at the same time! Efficiency is always nice! And when she made my drink, oh boy it was so perfect. Like I'm taking spot on if I were to make it myself. Time after time, when I go places, my drink is either watered down, not enough syrup, too much cream, or just flat out gross. Not only did she make it absolutely perfect, she even added a little dash of syrup on the whipped cream. Very cute and yummy touch!!! You could tell she loves her job, and she's good at it!! And the price, under $5 for a 24oz???? That's crazy!!! Up north it's like $6 for crappy coffee THANK YOU JADE and to Java Junction for having amazing drinks,prices, and service !!!

    I absolutely adore this shop!!! Its on my way to work on James right near Kent Station!! I happily leave a little early every morning to get my drink and my breakfast! They have healthy options (i get the homemade yogurt parfait almost every day now) , oatmeal, and protein pucks. Both Tyla and Jade make a perfect drink EVERY time no matter what i order. And i was a barista for 11 years. So I'm picky!

    The coffee is okay, but with Bri's bean right down central only charging $2.50.... I will just go there instead.

    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

    My friends and I came on a Saturday afternoon, and it was quite busy! The cafe is located in a…read moregreat area with plenty of parking, and there is tons of natural lighting, which really enhances the atmosphere. They also have plenty of seats with access to outlets, making it a perfect spot if you are looking for a place to work or study. As it has become such a popular spot, you should expect slightly longer wait times, especially if you order food during peak hours. I ordered the Cloud Matcha, which was very good; I have actually already been back to get it again along with some other items! I also tried the croissant, which was delicious. This has definitely become my new favorite cafe in the area!

    I want to share my experience at Café Condor…read more Overall, the café itself is fine. The place, food, and drinks are not the issue. The problem is the service behind the counter. From what I saw, most of the counter staff behave in a rude, arrogant, and disrespectful way toward customers, although there may be exceptions. Some employees may not get involved, but the overall atmosphere behind the counter feels very unpleasant. There was a situation where a person was waiting in line, just standing a little to the side, and some employees started acting like he was trying to skip the line and began confronting him for no reason. Instead of normal customer service, there was attitude, accusations, and disrespectful behavior. Another uncomfortable situation was with the language. When someone clearly understands Russian or Ukrainian but deliberately responds in English and acts like they don't understand the customer, it looks disrespectful and unprofessional. Especially when it is obvious that the person understands what is being said. Again, the café itself may be okay, but the main group working behind the counter really ruins the experience. Customers should be treated with respect, regardless of what language they speak or where exactly they are standing while waiting in line. Very unpleasant experience. I hope the owners pay attention to how their employees treat customers.

We stopped by and when you enter, the smell inside is absolutely heavenly. I don't think I have ever entered such a wonderful smelling bakery. We were greeted by the sweetest female employee who was patient with us while we were trying to decide what to get. It was still really early so we weren't super hungry for sweets so we got a cream puff each. I got the pandan one while my boyfriend got the regular one. They were absolutely perfection, the filling was super yummy! I want to come back to try their other flavors. The macarons looked amazing and they have quite the selection as well as their cupcakes too. I will have to stop by more to get some more sweet treats. They have cakes too or you can order them as long as you give a few days heads up. They have a counter top to enjoy your sweets right away. They also have napkins just in case as well. They don't offer crafted drinks but had a few drinks in their fridge.

Strawberry cream filling actually had some little strawberry pieces in it. They offer a variety of other beautiful sweets like macarons, eclairs, cupcakes, fruit pastry and cookies and brownies. Good price, less than $6 for most things and the minis are the perfect size for a sweet treat without going overboard. Lady at the counter was super friendly and helpful.

I will definitely be coming here again! There are a lot of options for food which can be a little overwhelming. However, it is VERY reasonably priced. $15 for a toast is wild but that's how cafes price things everywhere. However, other cafes smear some avocado on toast and add a tomato and charge you $15, here they give you a whole meal with an egg on top, cucumbers and tomatoes, avocado, and more. It actually feels like it's worth your money. The coffee is good even though it's not too unique. I feel like they used to be a specialty coffee shop before they turned to the crepe/cafe scene. The coffee was very sweet though so I would highly recommend getting it half sweet. The crepe is good, stuffed well and worth the price. It is obviously sweet as well so it's hard to drink a very sweet coffee with a sweet crepe. The barista was kind and helpful with any questions I had when ordering. There was gentleman with a disability ordering before me and the barista was very patient and kind when taking his order. Seems like they have good people working here, which plays a big role in atmosphere.

Since it was our first time there, we weren't familiar with the ordering process or menu. I didn't want to hold up the line trying to decide what to order, so I asked if we could sit down first and look over the menu. She cleaned off a table for us, but then told me I needed to hurry up and order because she didn't want other people getting upset about how long it would take me to decide. I didn't respond and simply waited until we were ready to order, which only took about four minutes. What confused and upset me was that shortly after, a white man came in and she told him he could sit down, take his time, and order whenever he was ready because "it's not busy." The difference in treatment was very noticeable and honestly made me uncomfortable as an African-American woman. Maybe this was a misunderstanding, but the interaction did not sit right with me. I believe every customer should be treated with the same patience and respect, especially first-time customers who are simply trying to understand how the restaurant works. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and does better moving forward. This needs to be addressed immediately not deleted
