What a beautiful cafe in the middle of international district of Tacoma. Free parking in the Paldo parking lot. Incredibly easy to drive to off of i5, and they have delicious bakery goods. WiFi seems strong as there are customers with their computers and tablets. Bathrooms are clean and individualized, the best! Staff are kind and very considerate, especially the tall Korean barista young man. I will go back due to his professionalism. My Friends ordered the hojicha with cream, corn einspanner, and I ordered the Korean sweet potato latte. With that being said, I was looking for something less sweet, and Korean sweet potato latte is definitely not it. Luckily there are other drinks here and their americano is refreshing and delicious. I will be back to try their kroffles. read more

My wife and I come here pretty often, either for drinks, croffles, or dessert. The staff is always friendly and very helpful with customers. There is not a lot of seating, which is not a problem. It kind of gives off a more intimate vibe this way. I'm not a coffee drinker like my wife, but the refreshers make up for it. The dessert options are great, with cheesecakes, and regular cake options. The croffles range from dessert style to savory options. I don't have a favorite yet, as there a more to try. This is a favorite place for me and my wife. read more

Yeah , this place wasn't it. It was just not good. That's the review... The service was also mediocre, I felt like cause I have NEVER been there I was a nuisance to them for wanting to take 7 extra seconds to look at the menu. I mean it has good reviews so take mine however you want, but I personally ain't going back. read more

This is a cute Korean cafe with bingsoo and croffles. Service is at the counter then you find your own seat. The teas were decent. I really enjoyed the injeolmi bingsoo! It is large enough for 2 to share. Pizza croffle was surprisingly good! Tables were a bit sticky so I think they can be wiped down more consistently. read more

Got the Nutella Oreo croffle again, which would have been. Nice if there was more of that melted chocolate ice cream like dip. Silverware utensils would have been nice if provided bc hard to cut croffle into bites with the Plastic utensils. My Dubai chocolate matcha drink was okay. Thank gosh for spacious and clean bathroom, but no mirror :( main space is also clean and I love the bright white lights that make the café shop pop in the square that it is located at. Very quick service! read more

Ordered delivery because I needed a pick me up. Can't comment on service or ambiance, but I feel their Vietnamese drinks (namely coffee) are tasty while the tea is just alright. Sample size of one drink each, so take it with a grain of salt. House Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - a very basic green milk tea. Tea was slightly floral, not too sweet, and balanced with the milk. Boba was chewy but lacked flavor. Would probably skip boba here in favor of their other drinks like the einspanners. Black Sesame Einspanner - black sesame cream was smooth and the actual black sesame slowly dropped to the bottom, since grounded sesame will result in physical bits. Slightly sweet but not too much. Similar sweetness with the coffee, a solid ca phe with a perfect amount of condensed milk added to soften the bitterness. Solid drink, would love the black sesame on a tea drink because I chugged the coffee and do not need that much caffeine. read more

I loved this cafe so much I came here two days in a row! I love einspanners, so I loved that they had those drinks here! (I went to another cafe nearby and they didn't know wth I was talking about.) I didn't try the croffle, but they looked really good! They had a lot of flavors. The inside is cozy. There is free wifi, so it's a good study/work spot. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Plenty of parking in their private lot, which is shared with Pal-Do (Korean market) No outdoor seating read more

Another visit. Another great experience. I got one of my go to drinks - the passionfruit and mango tea that's 50% sweet. Even so, I find the drink sweet but tangy with a crunch from the passion fruit seeds. It's a fun, light drink that's a great option outside of milk tea. read more

This is definitely one of the cuter cafes in Lakewood! The interior, vibes, and menu exuberates what a Korean cafe feels like. They offer different drinks and food items that I have never seen at other cafes so I was very curious to try them out. The moment you walk, you are greeted warmly. The staff here were professional and patient as my boyfriend and I glanced at their menu for a bit, wanting to try some of their options that we can't find elsewhere. I got the white grape refreshing ade while my boyfriend got their OG Einspinner as well as a Earl Gray tea cheesecake. The drinks were made to perfection, not too sweet but not watery. The flavors weren't super strong nor too weak but just the right amount. The cheesecake was absolutely delicious and I definitely need to try more of their options. There is a huge abundances in cafes that opened up in Lakewood in recent years but I think One Day Cafe is definitely one to check out and return back to. read more

One of the best tasting matchas in Seattle! The sweet cream was a perfect addition to the Matcha latte. The service here was great, the seating space is small. Overall, I highly recommend and would come back. read more

cute, chill spot with really friendly customer service. The drinks are good, I got the corn drink and it actually tastes like real corn, which I liked. The matcha is good too, just a little different taste than usual, but still enjoyable. The tiramisu is really good, real cake. The matcha on top was a little too much for me, but overall still a good dessert. I'd come back to try more things. read more

Was recommended this place for matcha. Butttt did not try the matcha and maybe that's why was a bit disappointed. Bf tried one of their lattes, I tried their korean sweet potato latte-- which tasted like sweet milk to me. Ordered drinks for my parents and two of the flavors they wanted they either didn't have or were out of. read more

So the workers werent as nice.. seemed distracted. They didnt greet or call our us for our food. The food isnt worth it, TO ME, it was expensive which i dont mind paying for nice service and good quality. Cream match, not my vibe for a match. Very bitter. Corn dog wasnt good. Strawberry croffle was good 7/10. read more

I'm surprised I never wrote a review about this place. One Day Cafe is my favorite cafe in Tacoma! I love everything that they have on their menu. I have tried the matcha and sparkling ades and I enjoy both. Their sweet cream matcha drink is my favorite! The matcha flavor is decently strong (which is more than some other places can say) and the sweet cream makes it more creamy. The sparkling ades are very refreshing and I am glad they now come in the larger size only. They do add new drinks on their menu - I recently tried the Korean pear ade and it was so good! Their drinks are sweet if you like sweet drinks. Their croffles are good too! Warm and crispy. I love that they have both sweet and savory options. Their bingsu is also very solid, however most of the condensed milk seems to be at the bottom so the last few bites are extremely sweet. Very ambient cafe. I would say it is good for studying as it tends to be one of the more quieter cafes that I have been to. I love coming here whenever I am in Tacoma :) read more

This spot is located next to Paldo grocery store off of S Tacoma Way across from Cho Dang Tofu. The menus are on TV screens as you walk in to your right. We ordered the basque cheesecake, Oreo Nutella Croffle (croissant waffle) , grape ade, peach ade and Americano. The cheesecake was good as it wasn't overly sweet like your traditional one. The waffle was delicious and was gone in a heart beat. Lol. I like getting the ades as it's more of a refreshing drink than getting a coffee imo. The staff is really friendly and patient when you have questions! read more

Only giving 4 stars because I heard they had one of the best matcha drinks & they were sold out. My second go to is always the brown sugar latte milk tea w: boba. It was well mixed in & you can taste the brown sugar and not just milk. They did put a lot of ice so next time i'll just have them add less ice. The tapioca balls were somewhat on the harder side but it was still manageable to chew and eat. read more

One Day Cafe is one of the best cafes in Tacoma hands down. It's amazing that they are always creating new items to add to their menu. Every time I come, I always order something different from the previous times I visit. This time around I ordered the Black Sesame Einspanner to try something different. It had a heavy coffee flavoring to it. The sesame cream foam was overpowered by the coffee taste in this drink. I didn't mind it though. read more

I like One Day but I hope they figure out their matcha supply soon! It's been several months where matcha has been intermittently available, and I'm well aware that there are shortages. Just seems like for such a busy spot, there are alternatives you could use or find a supplier that can meet the demands. 3 out of 5 times, I call ahead to ask if there's matcha and they don't have any so I don't go. That's 60% of visits where the shop could have taken my money haha. I understand holding out for quality matcha so that the drinks don't suck or maybe there's a good relationship with their supplier that they don't want to ruin, and again I understand, but sacrificing 60% of business is a tough trade off! Like I said, I just hope it gets figured out sooner than later. The Dubai chocolate matcha is my favorite out of all the places hopping on the Dubai trend. But when I forget to call ahead and they're out of matcha, I get the Sunrise Americano with sparkling water. Still delicious! read more

I've been wanting to try One Day Cafe for a while now, but every time I'm in Lakewood it's for quick errands and then I forget. However, today I made a point to make stopping by my first task - and I'm glad I finally did! When you walk in you immediately notice the earthy/minimalistic decor. Next, you have the menu and the dessert case with freshly made cheesecakes. Their menu includes an assortment of drinks such as signature einspanners, coffee, boba and ceremonial grade matcha beverages. They also have freshly made to order croffles (both sweet and savory options) and shaved iced desserts. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha and it tasted amazing. I originally asked for oat milk but was informed they use non dairy milk for all their beverages, which was a bonus. The matcha was smooth, grassy and flavorful (no sweetness whatsoever!), when you mixed the drink (strawberry layer at the bottom) all together, the natural sweetness of the strawberry gave the drink a perfectly balanced and natural sweetness. I really appreciate that the matcha itself had no added sweetness like other coffee or matcha places have, takes away from the flavor and point of matcha. My sister ordered the Banana Split Einspanner Latte and said it tasted exactly like a banana split in liquid form. No syrups were added to artificially enhance the flavor so she was pleasantly surprised of the flavor and the texture of the foam. Overall, I'm glad we finally stopped by and will definitely be back soon to try other drinks and dessert options! read more

Unfortunately, I feel like their Matcha drinks are getting more and more water down tasting. I wish they would go back to the original way of making their Matcha drinks. I might have to find a new place since spending over eight dollars on my drink and receiving more foam and hardly any, Matcha doesn't seem worth it anymore. Very unfortunate because this place used to be so good. I would also like to add that aside from one or two instances where an employee was borderline rude, their customer service is really amazing. read more

I'm from LA, and this place reminds me a lot of Koreatown. I used to really like it and recommended it to a lot of my friends. The only downside lately is that the staff can be really hit or miss. Some are super friendly and welcoming, but others make you feel like they don't want you there. My friends and I even joke that coming here depends on our luck, hoping we get the friendly staff. It definitely makes us less excited to come here as often as we otherwise would. read more

When you walk in there is a full menu to the right. So many yummy things to choose from. Cashier was great. I asked for literally 5 boba, I always ask that, and never has someone fulfilled my request. But the cashier immediately did it for me. My order came out immediately. My friend's drink came out shortly after but sat for about 10 mins before I told her to ask about her croffle. They had completely forgot. But made it immediately. Place was nice and clean and many people were there studying away. read more

TLDR; I will not be supporting anymore due to continual disrespect from staff over a period of months. Food is great, drinks are mediocre (as of recent) but, if you don't care about customer experience, this place is still enjoyable!! ------ I've been going here since they've opened (when they didn't even have bingsoo on the menu) and loved their food and drinks. They've been enjoyable and I've recommended this place to all my friends, thus putting them on. However, my experience in the last few months has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I used to come in during the school quarter and study but, stopped after some uncomfortable experiences. Spring 2025, I notice the staff would frequently start walking past where I sit and I had made eye contact with them on multiple occasions, with one female staff member in particular. I ignored it. The staff started being really brief with me, cutting me off at times, different from their usual great customer service. I ignored it. One day, I noticed the same female staff walk to the back and loudly start speaking to another staff member. Another staff member comes out from the back, look directly at me, and laughed before walking to the back, resuming their conversation. I immediately left as I was so uncomfortable. Today, I go back for the first time in months and I was treated the same. I was rung up wrong and waited in line to heat the right order. Once I'm at the register, standing two feet in front of it, the same female staff member, who was in the lobby turning in the menu screens, walked right in front of me to get back to the bar. I had to back up so I wouldn't touch her. All while she blankly ignored me. I came in with a group of 8 total and understand it can be frustrating with large groups (I'm a Starbucks barista so I've ever empathetic). However, they made 5/8 of our drinks wrong and only called out 3 of our orders. We had to stare at the counter to check and see if our drink was ready. Each time, many of my friends met with attitude from the staff. One of my friend's asked for a remake of their drink and one staff member said "yes". They got to the register and another staff member said "no" and explained that their coffee grinder had broke, hence why it tasted weird, didn't offer a remake, and told them to drink it. I felt bad that my friends had an experience like that. I don't want to support a company that treats my friends like that. As most of us were black, biracial, and southeast Asian, I would hate to think that this shaped our experience. However, I've noticed that they don't interact with other customers the same way. But!! Matchas, ades, and pastries are bomb. read more

One Day Cafe was our second stop during our road trip Shoreline to Lakewood (8/3/24). The interior is very clean and spacious. The cafe is also well staffed to deal with onsite and takeout orders. Shared parking lot with many businesses and an Asian grocery store. CC selected a black sesame einspanner. Definitely looked tasty! I decided to go big before heading back north, lol. I had the Nutella Oreo Croffle ($9.50). Nicely plated. Managed to coax CC to also give it a try. Nutella is plated first, then the on-point croffle, topped with a creamy scoop of Oreo ice cream, and of course, an Oreo cookie. Surprisingly, not cloying sweet, it was a delicious treat! Seems Lakewood and greater Tacoma area has lots of gems to discover. One Day Cafe is a worthy detour! read more

Charming boba/dessert shop that sits across the parking lot from the Paldo World on south tacoma way. Staff was friendly and they took our order quickly. I would recommend ordering their croffle with strawberries, Nutella, and banana. The banana split einspanner is amazing. I didn't even know what a Einspanner was before coming here. If you don't know what it is either, an Einspänner (also spelled Einspänner) is a classic Viennese coffee drink. It's characterized by a strong espresso base topped with a generous layer of lightly whipped, sweetened cream. The drink is traditionally not stirred, allowing the drinker to enjoy the contrasting temperatures and flavors of the coffee and cream with each sip. Quite delicious. read more

Many of my friends highly recommended this place so we decided to try it. My husband wanted me to quote this in this review "PLEASE GIVE 5 STARS FOR THIS PLACE, THIS PLACE IS SO CLEAN. THEY MAKE SURE THEY MAKE YOU THE RIGHT ORDER. THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE A NEW ONE IF IT DOESN'T TASTE GOOD. THEY HAVE THE BEST ATTITUDE!!". We got strawberry & Nutella Oreo Croffles, Black sesame latte, and an americano. Everything tasted so good and made you want to come here everyday. For black sesame latte, it can be hit or miss for some people. Some people like the taste of black sesame then this will be the drink for me. If not, I would recommend you to avoid this drink. read more
