    Visited this spot for the first time and it was super cute. Love their distant breakfast sandwiches and drink options. If i lived locally, i would have to go back to try all the things! My breakfast sando was sooo yummy. I still need to finish it!!

    Egg Sandwich, Amazing!!!
    Xavier Z.

    As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a sweet smiling face. We asked about what's we spill get she recommended the egg sandwich. OMG it was a delicious experience. Definitely a few napkins were needed

    Vietnamese coffee with salt foam & bacon, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich
    Victor N.

    I lived in Lacey back in 2006 and they had nothing like this when I was around. Glad to see some trendy cafes open up and doing it well. The Vietnamese coffee with the salt foam was delicious and the egg, bacon, cheese breakfast sandwich was absolute fire.

    Blueberry matcha latte

    This new family owned business js so cute and serves great drinks and food. Pictures is a blueberry matcha latte alright my favorite is their coconut matcha cloud. I've heard others rave about their egg sandwiches as well

    Grilled cheese with a drink
    Joy L.

    Love the ambiance here seating is limited it's small & when it's busy there's hardly indoor seating I'm assuming when it's warmer that they offer outdoor seating ? Staff was nice & fast they accidentally charged me for two drinks & told me to keep the second drink I low key was stoked but struggled to finish them lol They offer sandwiches & I ordered their grilled cheese it was one of the best I've had in a long time. I ant to come back & try their breakfast sandwiches.

    Strawberry matcha

    Strawberry matcha and egg sandwich were both very delicious. The egg sandwich was the star for me super fluffy eggs, fresh lettuce, and the bread was perfectly toasted. Everything came together really well and made it a standout. The strawberry matcha was refreshing and nicely layered. Once mixed, it had a great balance of sweet and earthy flavors. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to choosing a sandwich. The shop itself has a clean, cozy vibe, and the presentation of both the food and drink was on point. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Mango Freeze, Banana Matcha
    Maya A.

    Finally tried Just Cuz Cafe after hearing all the hype for it the past year. This might become a new go to spot for me! The drinks and food were great, the staff was super friendly, and the whole vibe inside was upbeat and fun. I love a cafe with a little chatter and energy. Prices were reasonable and everything came out fresh and hot. I ordered the Banana Match and Egg Banh Mi, and my partner ordered the Mango Freeze and Turkey Pesto. Everything hit the spot. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu!

    Bacon Eggsential

    Just Cuz Cafe is a Vietnamese-themed cafe located in Lacey, a short walk from Saint Martin's University. The parking situation is a bit limited in the area, but manageable. There are street parking and a parking lot behind the complex the cafe is located in. Do be mindful where you park because it looks like this parking lot is meant for residents living in the apartments in this area. I noticed there were some other parking lots nearby that were quite spacious but might have been for other businesses in the other. I have been wanting to visit this cafe for a while and finally decided to over the weekend. I rarely ever go down south of Tacoma, so it was a nice change of scenery. It was a bit busier than I expected it to be at 11:20AM on a Sunday. However, my sister and I were able to snag a table after placing our order with the cashier/barista. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte for myself while my sister ordered a regular Matcha Latte. We both ordered our own Bacon Eggsential sandwiches as a little breakfast/brunch item. The Bacon Eggsential is a sandwich made with bacon, soft scrambled eggs, garlic croissant toast, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, sweet mayo, and chives. The sandwiches were SO GOOD. It was truly worth the $14 for the sandwich. It was a lot bigger than we expected, too. It was honestly a bit intimidating when it was brought out to us. It was beautifully crafted and plated up to show the softness of the scrambled eggs and melted cheese. The drinks were good, better than some other matcha places I have tried for sure. I liked that the cups were on the bigger side too. If there is one thing I recommend ordering, it's the Bacon Eggsential sandwich! If you aren't a bacon fan, there is one without bacon!

    Oat milk latte, unsweetened

    I've been here a few times, and I am always looking for an excuse to swing by even though it's out of the way of my normal routines. The strawberry matcha here must have some kind of addictive chemical in it, because it's one of the best drinks I've had in my entire life. Delicious matcha and a perfect level of sweetness and strawberry flavor to complement it, without overpowering the matcha. I assume it's real matcha and not artificially sweetened like it is at coffee chains like Starbucks. The coffee is phenomenal too. Really well brewed espresso, very flavorful, not burnt at all. This is a great place to stop for a drink on the go or to sit and enjoy the nice vibes while working. Every employee I've interacted with has always been incredibly friendly. Great place!

    Pandan Coconut cloud
    Rus M.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: 3/5 Family friendly: 5/5 Stroller friendly: 5/5 ADA accessible: 5/5 Came here on a random weekend with the fam at about 1030 am and THIS PLACE IS PUMPIN'! I actually felt a sorry for the girl up front taking orders. She was running the cashier as well as making the hand made drinks! We ordered a couple of egg sandwiches ( highly recommend I think around $10). Japanese style eggs on toasted brioche bread with some sorry of tangy, mayonnaise - sy sauce, lettuce, tomatoes , and red onions! Def was a decadent sandwich. I also tried a blended Coconut coffee ($8), house coffee ($7) and matcha latte ($7). All were quality made and excellent tasting. Being from Southern California, it great to see something like this pop up in the area! I thoroughly enjoyed all that was ordered. Inside there is also a nod to the SoCal lifestyle with it's laid-back decor and ambiance. The is a small lounge to chill at, about 8 tables to sit around and hang out at asks plenty of room for strollers, wheelchairs too be inside. Def drop by here if you're in the area. You will not regret it.

    This place hit the spot on the way to Hoh Rainforest! Plenty of street parking on rainy Saturday morning and it wasn't busy. Good for us! We ordered two iced Vietnamese coffee and shared a beef Banh mi sandwich. There were quite some seating areas inside where people were dodging the rain and enjoying a nice brekkie. We had our food together go, but the coffee definitely perks up our road trip energy. Vietnamese coffee hits different and to go it off with salty cream. Yum! The sandwich....OH EM GEE! It was so good! I didn't have it right away since I was driving, but 3 hours into it I got hungry. The bread was still soft and not like a day old hard baguette and the flavor was on point. I truly enjoyed it. Just wish it wasn't far from home. Will definitely come back!

    What a hidden gem! Just Cuz Cafe is such a cute spot in Olympia. I stopped in for a Chicken Banh Mi and a Hazelnut Latte, and both were absolutely yum. The sandwich was delicious and the coffee was perfect. If you are looking for a cozy place with great food, definitely give this one a try.

Nice and quiet and the music wasn't too loud, made it very easy to wear headphones and get some work done. The chairs were comfortable, maybe just a few more comfy couches would bring it to the next level. Employees were friendly enough, and service was fast.

I've had a barista there actually frown at me as she hands me the coffee and even after I sat thank you she just turns away and says nada Same for the person that takes money. No thank you at all just take money and walks away. This has happened four out of five visits over a couple weeks Store is nice but was better when it was dancing goats.

We ordered the avocado toast, chickpea sandwich, and coffee, and everything was delicious. The food was fresh, satisfying, and paired perfectly with the excellent coffee, making it an ideal spot for breakfast or lunch. Service was quick and friendly, and our order arrived promptly. The atmosphere is the real standout. The café has a huge indoor space with multiple seating areas, each featuring its own unique décor and vibe, so there's something for everyone--whether you're catching up with friends, getting some work done, or simply enjoying a quiet coffee break. If you're in the area, The Owl's Nest is a café I'd highly recommend.

    Stopped here for a breakfast. Ordered: 12 oz of Earl Grey,…read more16 oz of Latte, Lavender Scone, Sundried Tomato Scone, Maple Pecan Scone, Panini Sandwich. Total $61 including a tip. We somehow spaced it that the cafe served only plant based food and only realized it after we took couple of bites because the food had unpleasant aftertaste. The pros: 1. Appreciate the support for LGBTQ 2. Appreciate the idea of "plant based" food 3. Nice atmosphere The cons: 1. The 12 oz cup of tea and the 16 oz cup of latte were served in the 12 oz mugs. We paid for a 16 oz latte. 2. Early Grey was of poor quality. Not much flavor. 3. The scones tasted ok, but not like true traditional scones. I presume it is because they are plant based. 4. Shortly after eating a sundried tomato scone I started feeling nauseated and developed a headache which lasted for several hours after. I do not have food allergies, I do though react poorly to heavily processed food. Knowing my body very well this makes me wonder about the quality of ingredients used. Plant based food is a very noble idea and is better for health and environment when in its natural form (olive oil, veggies, whole grains, etc.), but unfortunately some products are often very heavily processed (plant based butter, cheese, etc.). I have no idea what those scones were made of. I will not eat other scones after this experience. 5. I took a bite of hubby's panini. It had an unpleasant aftertaste. 6. We paid for 3 scones. The cashier gave us only two. I thought that the third one would be brought out shortly with the rest of the order so I let the cashier to attend to the line behind us. When the 3rd scone wasn't brought out I approached the counter to ask about it. Another person that was standing there asked me if I paid for it.......Seeing so much suspicion on their face I told the person that I would like to wait for the cashier to see if she would remember me placing an order. To which that person responded - I believe you......This was not a pleasant experience and this is not sound customer service if you ask me. Instead of taking responsibility and checking their system, they made me feel like I was trying to get free food. A professional business should always prioritize making the customer feel heard and valued, rather than putting them on the defensive. The OK: Coffee was just ok. I personally wouldn't come back for it. Overall this is not my cup of tea. I wouldn't come back.

There is a great little play area for kiddos too young to go into the cat room. My son loved playing there, and it's a separate area so if hanging around kids isn't your thing-- there's a very comfy area up front. I love the cat themed art on the walls, and there are loads of cat trinkets and wares to peruse. The coffee was good and the service very friendly. Tiffany was so kind and took the time to give me a run down on all of the sweet cats up for adoption. You can really tell how much they care. This is definitely a premium adoption experience, if I'm ever lucky enough to be in a place to adopt another cat, I'll be right back here. The hour I spent with the cats was awesome. Having them presented in this way was honestly so helpful. Personalities on full display, and made finding my sweet girl so easy. She is so well adjusted! Tiffany had told me that she was lovingly fostered before coming to the cat cafe. I could not be happier, she's such a love bug and gets on famously with my toddler. I might not have known how good she'd be with kids if I hadn't been able to see her interact with them through the window. I can't wait to come back just to visit and grab a cup of coffee.
