CAFE ELITE: WHERE CAKE POPS REIGN SUPREME (UNLIKE DAIRY QUEEN'S SUSPECT BLIZZARD SUPREMACY)…read more Let me tell you about these cake pops that make Dairy Queen's entire existence seem like a fever dream from 1985. Each perfectly spherical masterpiece is handcrafted with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker who definitely doesn't serve Dilly Bars on the side. Their signature chocolate-dipped red velvet cake pop (way better than waiting in a drive-thru behind a minivan ordering Blizzards) is rolled with such perfection that geometrists weep. The ganache coating has a snap that makes Dairy Queen's chocolate dip cone look like it's trying to get into community theater but didn't make the cut. Speaking of theatrical performances, you should see their unicorn cake pop (no soft serve machine can compete, KAREN FROM DQ). It's adorned with edible glitter that makes other desserts question their life choices. Each horn is hand-painted with metallic dust that would make Dennis, the Tuesday night shift manager at Dairy Queen, absolutely lose his mind. Their seasonal pumpkin spice cake pop (eat your heart out, Pumpkin Pie Blizzard) is so perfectly spiced it makes you wonder why anyone would ever waste their time watching ice cream get turned upside down. The density of these cake pops is scientifically calibrated for optimal mouth feel - unlike SOME establishments that think gravity-defying ice cream is a personality trait. Don't even get me started on their birthday cake flavor (sorry, DQ's ice cream cake, but you're not invited to this conversation). Each sprinkle is placed with the careful consideration of someone who has never once had to explain why the soft serve machine is down. The lemon cake pop (refreshing in a way that makes a Mr. Misty look like flavored ice) has a citrus note so perfect it makes other desserts cry themselves to sleep. They achieve a tang that no amount of red plastic spoons could ever hope to experience. Five stars for these cake pops - they're what would happen if Leonardo da Vinci quit painting and decided to pursue his true passion of putting cake on sticks (while definitely not managing a Dairy Queen franchise on the side). P.S. I heard someone tried to compare these cake pops to a Blizzard once. They were politely but firmly asked to leave while clutching their Buster Bar in shame. P.P.S. The double chocolate cake pop is so rich it makes Warren Buffett look middle class (and he definitely doesn't own any Dairy Queens... oh wait). Note: This review was written while experiencing what I can only describe as a transcendent cake pop experience, completely unsullied by thoughts of certain fast-food establishments with royal aspirations and questionable ice cream machine maintenance schedules. Special Addendum: To the person who suggested they should serve these with soft serve on the side - first of all, how dare you, and second of all, the exit is that way, right past the building that used to be a Dairy Queen in 1992. Final Thought: If you're reading this review in a Dairy Queen parking lot, just know that there's a better life waiting for you. A life filled with cake pops that have never once been threatened by a malfunctioning soft serve machine. Remember: Every cake pop here is served at the perfect temperature, which is more than I can say for SOME places that think "partially frozen" is an acceptable state for a Blizzard.

My son's friend introduced him to the breakfast burrito at Cafe Elite, and he fell in love. As…read moresummer winds down I made a breakfast date with my son to have breakfast burritos. Sadly, they were out. She took our drink order and walked away which felt very inefficient for the level of busy for just 1 person to be managing. We decided we'd try the breakfast sandwich instead, assuming it would taste similar, and it did. Despite ordering "2 sausage and egg breakfast sandwiches" (after having ordered 2 sausage and egg burritos) she made 1 and was already onto helping the customer at the other window. Since there are no prices on the menu board and they don't give you a receipt, I can only assume I just paid $5-6 for an Italian soda and $5-6 for a breakfast sandwich. Don't get me wrong, that seems like a fair price for a breakfast sandwich, so the total I paid should have been the tip off that she was only making 1, but the other peculiar part was that she told me the total and saw he holding up cash so then she gave me a new, lower total. Just overall not a great experience for a special breakfast outing with my kiddo.

I came here daily while in town and its truly a great visit at any hour of the day whether you want breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon beverages and snacks, dinner, late night drinks, etc. Its all great here.

We visited this popular coffee shop with my family and our toddler for the first time. The space…read moreitself is beautiful, with a large open seating area and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a stunning view of Mount Rainier. We went on a sunny day, and the atmosphere and scenery were definitely a highlight. I ordered the Lumberjack breakfast sandwich, which was absolutely delicious, along with a caramel macchiato that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the customer service didn't match the quality of the food. When we approached the counter, it was our first visit, so we took a little extra time to look over the menu. The cashier initially told us she'd be with us shortly, then took our order. Throughout the interaction, she seemed irritated and unapproachable. I understand everyone can have an off day, so I didn't think much of it at first. (This was around 11:00 a.m. on July 2.) Since we had our toddler with us, I asked if she had any recommendations for what kids typically enjoy. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like I was inconveniencing her. We ended up ordering a pastry and a cake pop for our daughter. As the rest of my family placed their orders, we all noticed the same lack of friendliness. One tip for future customers: if you're sitting outside, keep an eye on the pickup counter. I checked a few minutes later and saw that only our drinks were ready. After using the restroom, I noticed several food baskets on the counter but wasn't sure if one was ours. I asked the cashier if the basket under my name was my order, and she simply responded with an "uh-huh" in a dismissive tone. I considered speaking to her about the interaction but ultimately decided to leave and share my experience here instead. The food, coffee, and beautiful location would definitely bring me back. I only hope the customer service improves because a welcoming attitude would make the overall experience just as enjoyable as the food.

The food was good, but the drink prices were outrageous. I spent $27.62 on just three items, and…read moreone of those was a 16-ounce blended drink that cost nearly $9. On top of that, I actually ordered four items, but after the employees went back and forth at the register about whether I needed to pay for the fourth item, I was told I had already paid for everything and was only charged for three items. The whole experience was confusing and overpriced. I can get a similar drink at Gravity Coffee and drive a little farther without spending nearly $30 on just a few items. Because of the high prices and poor checkout experience, I would not return.

Sure you can look it up on Yelp or Google, but what if you don't want to or have the ability to? My only experiences is through the drive-through, the experience inside the building might be better, but their drive-through really needs to step up with advertising and maybe a popular drink menu. I got a sugar-free caramel macchiato, it tasted very milky, not a lot of flavor. I also got their pesto and turkey Panini sandwich, and to be honest it was really salty, but overall decent. I wouldn't get it again, but it's not a bad choice if you like a little more sodium. The best thing about this visit was the pup cup. Other coffee shops give a cup that it's really hard for the snouts to get all the way in and this cup is flexible and nice and easy. Probably won't return unless I want a pup cup.
