The fruit is so fresh and cut into the perfect bite size pieces. I also loved the addition of condensed milk on top. I wish there were add on topping though. The wait for this bowl was around 15 minutes but the cafe worker let me know it would take this long so it was ok. I also think this is a great cafe to sit and do work because the lighting is nice. I'm so excited to go back and try their Brazilian cheese bread. The Açai bowls were also pretty big portions and the container was sturdy to travel with. They also forgave my friend that accidentally took the wrong order and very hospitable.

The portion was a little small, but the acai and frozen fruits tasted great. I also got the pao de quejo which was delicious!! Tasted very similar to the bread I've had in Brazil, would highly recommend! I also got some brigaderos and these were okay - not the best I've had but they're difficult to find in Seattle.

This cafe popped up and saw it as my bus went by so walked a couple blocks back to check it out. It shares the space with a Halal bakery called Noor Bakery. I need to back and try Fatayer as that part was closed on Sunday and was a larger meal than I needed. I ordered a mango smoothie and pistachio baklava. Both were delicious and was just what I needed the smoothie was nice and thick. The baklava was flakey and not overly sweet the extra crushed pistachios served as a garnish were a nice surprise.

The toppings are always fresh and presented well, and the bowl is packed to the brim, which I appreciate. The staff are also very friendly, and though I've never had the time to sit in and eat there, there are a few spots to sit that are almost always taken - they are busy! I also enjoy the mini cheese bites and one of these days I'll try some of their other hot food items.

This cozy and quiet cafe is a block or so away from the Roosevelt light rail station, but street…read moreparking was difficult to find; I had to use parking along 8th Ave NE which was a considerable number of blocks away given how hot it was on a Sunday at 3:30pm, not to mention I already walked a lap or two around Green Lake Park and craved something sweet like I always do! The interior complemented the hot, sunny day with warm colors; the brown hardwood floors, the lighting inside and the white walls contrasting with the front counter that has all the colors, be it from the croffles or their menus up on the TV monitors. They also serve a variety of other foods and desserts that were also at the front display counter. You can order up at the front counter, or you can use the lone kiosk to the immediate right-hand side of the front entrance to peruse the menu and place your order. In general, it's a very cute cafe with low-volume music, some board games and a matching minimal interior to boot. Their menu offers a wide variety of drinks including caffeinated and non-caffeinated dinks, coffee, milk tea, matcha and others. Their croffles are also on display at the front counter, though I couldn't tell if they were real or not. When I placed my order for a mango croffle and classic milk tea, they definitely did not take or even touch the mango croffle already in the display case; staff took about 15 minutes or so making the croffle and getting everything to me on a tray, complete with utensils and napkins. For each of the foods I got: - The mango croffle is literally a waffle in the best shape and hump for a croissant you can probably get. It looks like it's psrinkled with flour and drizzled in syrup, followed by tons of whipped cream on the top and some okay-quality mango slices. The croffle itself was more than warm and on the borderline of hot, so that's a huge plus for me here. None of the different kinds of sweetness provided by these layers interfered in any way, hence I finished quickly and without a ton of water. - The classic milk tea (with regular sweetness and less ice) was actually for my mom, and I only got a sip of it after she had the majority of it when I returned home. Very standard and nothing special, though I appreciate the sweetness levels being appropriate in proportion to the ice, assuming that it melts in the fridge. Their variety of croffles in the display case makes me wanna grab another the next time I visit here!

This is a large space but with surprisingly little seating. Since it was my first time here, I…read moreasked the barista for a recommendation. He suggested a croffle - croissant dough prepared in a waffle maker. I was disappointed by both the flavor and texture of the pastry. The matcha frosting on top was too sweet, and the texture had none of the flakiness I look for in a croissant.

Solid cafe for boba!…read more I've only been here for boba so can't comment on the other items, but there is food, smoothies, and booze at Cafe Happy. Located in the University District, Cafe Happy is situated off the Ave, so it's away from all the noise. This is my new favorite place to do work and edit content because there's plenty of seating (and different kinds too), many nearby outlets to charge your devices, free Wi-Fi, and board games if that's your thing. Temperature inside is nicely regulated. Lighting is sufficient. And there's a neon 'this is my happy place' sign that will brighten your mood. As for the boba, I've gotten their matcha, taro, regular milk tea, and Lil Lychee Iced Tea - all were solid. The chewiness of the tapioca was also consistent each and every time. For my customizations, which is usually medium ice and 50% sweetness, they come through each and every time. Also, I will point out that service is ninja-speed QUICK. You can order either at their kiosk up front, or through DoorDash or Uber Eats, and they are no cap super fast...! Does this place serve the best boba? No, which is why my rating is 4 stars instead of 5. But that's ok. Leave that for the Chicha Sanchens, TP Teas, and Xing Fu Tangs. Everything else about here slaps!

They have lots of options for different dietary restrictions (i.e., vegan, GF) and it's way to customize the items. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Got the Cocoa Paradise bowl, and it was one of the best acai bowls I've had in the greater Seattle area (I feel like we don't have many great options here) The standout for me was the granola, almond butter, and acai.

With just a few tables I could imagine it getting busy on weekends, so consider going at an off-time! Only note for the owner would be to consider adding prices to the menu. I found them to be reasonable, but think it's odd they aren't advertised. Looking forward to returning!

I've always put Bobalust in the dessert section rather than boba or tea because in my opinion they…read morereally cater to a younger audience that wants excessive sweets. No different here. That being said, it's an alright spot for sweet fruit teas or smoothie blends, as a dessert option. I tried to order 30% sweetness and I guess they don't support that. I don't remember other stores but sounds right, as their less sugar is 50%. Store is huge and spacious, but hard to work in because they blast music. There's also no real self service which can be a hindrance. Napkins, straws, other supplemental items are not available upfront. Service here was extremely transactional. I imagine they hire college students so that's nice, but training is lacking. Lack of warmth and comfort. Made me not even want to stay or ask for anything, so also no idea if wifi is available to the public. Password is not written anywhere. Restrooms not available. Underwhelming overall. Wintermelon Milk Tea - they got the wintermelon taste down, it's just excessively sweet. Good in a pinch or for a refresher. I will say their cup sizes are large, which perhaps makes it similar to the super sweet drinks at some coffee chains.

Food & drink: (3/5) I've been a loyal lover of the milk cream strawberry since my very first visit, but for some reason it just isn't as good as I remember it being. I would say it's just fine now that I've noticed that they've gotten more watered down. I do enjoy that they still use fresh fruit, but would probably only come back if I was invited by a friend. My partner still really likes his usual which is the mango pomelo sago. I think it's one of their best sellers and is a pretty safe order if you don't know what to get. We didn't get any this time, but I do like their mochi. If you've acquired the taste, the durian mochi is solid. Service: (5/5) Ordering is mostly done through the kiosk at the front but I still appreciate how fast they get things out.
