    Vibes. I came here on a mini road trip and was craving a breakfast sandwich and this place did not disappoint. Probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. I'm inspired to try and make this at home. The toast is almost like Texas toast and I'm all about that. We ordered and not even five minutes later our entire order was ready, so they are very quick!

    Grilled cheese with a drink

    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

    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!

    Can you see the jalapeños? So delicious

    I ordered the egg bahn mi and it was top shelf delicious! A buttery and luscious egg with crispy and fresh vegetables encased in the warm embrace of a French baguette. We will return when the weather is warmer to try the cold drinks.

    The food never disappoints and we love the tea drinks! The staff there are always so friendly and welcoming. The ambiance gives off the come in and chill for a while. Restrooms are always clean when we visit. I would definitely recommend this place without hesitation and love to come here when I get together with my girlfriends that visit. The beef banh mi and chicken banh mi is what we usually get and the drinks are black tea and lychee green tea. The strawberry matcha is also delicious as well. Oh and the blueberry scone is a must try.

    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!

    Ordered ahead when running errands and went to pick up. Parking is mostly street parking but didn't have a hard time finding a spot. Staff was friendly and welcomed me in. My food order was ready but they waited to make my drink when I was in there. I love the matcha here and the egg sandwich is so soft and fluffy. It is a bit messy so make sure to grab extra napkins. There's plenty of seating and it's also a nice little cafe to get some work done. Will be back.

    The BEST Banh-mi .......

    Wow ...I'm am very impressed!! I thought that all banh mi were the same...not until I tried this one!! Impressed I was indeed.. the taste was oh so good I even ordered one to go! This little place was popping!! Now I know why! I will definitely be back!! I can't explain why it is so good!! You just have to try it!!

    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.

The location is decently sized with a sprinkling of seating options. It's well appointed and they have a cool Mazam espresso machine. My only reason for bringing this down a star is the coffee. I ordered a 24-oz and asked for a triple instead of a quad shot raspberry beret (I think that's the name). The coffee tasted like a La Croix coffee. It was a whisper of flavor. I barely tasted the white chocolate and the raspberry. The coffee was smooth but also minimal tasting. I felt like it was mainly just milk with suggestions of other flavors. I'm not expecting diabetes level sugary, but this seemed a little odd. And no, I didn't ask for the drink to be remade. If the drinks are normally like this, then that's how I'm going to judge them. If you like coffee but don't like the strong taste of coffee, then this is the place for you. Unfortunately, I'm used to oil rig coffee where there's only one caffeine source and it's gotta keep you awake for 16 hours straight.
