The chicken fried steak is $19 for a full or $17 for a half. The full is huge and definitely had leftovers. The steak itself was pretty tough to chew and cut through and the gravy was more on the sweeter than savory side. It was lit bad just different than what I'm used to. Overall it was an alright visit, we think we would come back later in the day and try some of the sandwiches that were listed on the menu.

Still five stars all of the way and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

Descriptions of the milk teas included sweet, salty, good, and pleasant. The quality of the Vietnamese coffee was dark and smoky, just like I like it.

I got an iced white chocolate americano with cream and it was seriously the best coffee I've ever had. The syrup, to coffee, to ice, to cream ratio should be studied. And not to forget the fiesta breakfast burrito... served with a small packet of cholula and garlic cream cheese. I inhaled it and literally dreamt about it a few nights later. I soon came to find out that the burritos are fresh, never frozen, which is so awesome. You can definitely taste it. I also got a Wide Awake Cafe hoodie and LOVE it. It's made with high quality material -- thick, soft, and so freaking cute. This business is obviously curated with love because everything is at the top of its game.

I'd even go as far to say that it's the best boba spot in the Tacoma area. They have smoothie, slushies, tea, milk tea, and etc. The drinks are quite filling, so I usually have no room for food! (Cost): $8.27 + tip (Location): The shop itself is on the smaller end, with a few tables inside for seating. It's located in a very busy shopping area-- a little bit down the street from Tacoma Mall. It gets insanely busy during the weekend, so plan your trip accordingly. The good thing is that there is a lot of parking. (Service): I have been here quite a bit and the employees have always been pleasant to interact with. I literally cannot recall a time where I had a bad experience, and the drink was made in less than 5 minutes. I don't know if it's ran by the same people, but I went to a Bobalust near Tukwila that also had excellent service. (Food): Summer Saas (5/5)-- a fruit tea drink with peach pieces in it. I also added in some black boba. I usually stick to the Orange Dreamsicle, but I decided to try something new and I am so glad that I did. This drink was amazing-- not too sweet but also not too tart. I will definitely order it again. Orange Dreamsicle (5/5)-- a smoothie type drink made with vanilla and orange. Also has fruity jelly pieces at the bottom. An excellent drink that reminds me of those old school orange cream soda floats made with ice cream.
