I have a new favorite sandwich here and that is their Grilled Italian Sandwich. With a side of macaroni salad and a Coke it makes for a nice little lunch. I have grown frustrated with other lunch spots in downtown Tacoma as often times the wait times are long but more importantly than even that is sometimes my orders aren't even accurate. I have never had that problem with Mega * in any way. They have my lunch promptly ready and the order is always accurate. The sandwiches are satisfying but not too much to handle for a 30 minute lunch break. That is what keeps me coming back to Mega *.

I used to work at LHS and I'm embarrassed by how much money I have spent getting as many sandwiches for as many people as possible. I have forced about 10 people to eat here and now it's all we talk about. I'm moving to Chicago and I am not kidding when I say that I will be stopping at MegaBites every time I come back and visit. I LOVE their turkey pesto sandwich, but literally everything is so good.

I nearly cried tears of joy biting into one of these pies. Got several to try: chicken pie, beef &…read morebeer, and a regular beef pie, for a quick sit-down lunch. The chicken pie is so savory and it tastes like all the good parts of a chicken soup but without the soup haha. The chicken is ground and the sauce is creamy, going very well with the golden flaky crust. The beef and beer pie is the star. I don't even wanna tell people because it's that good, I wanna gatekeep this pie to myself. It sells out of the fridge first so I had to get some hot to go ;) the filling has large, tender, soft beef chunks cooked with the juicy filling that has a earthy, hoppy taste from the beer. It really adds something special to the flavor. Highly recommend trying this one hot in the store! Lastly, the 'just beef' pie was also super yummy, the crust is thin and buttery, and the insides were piping hot. It's the perfect pie and a good size for one to fill you up if you're a medium to small eater, and two will do it for you if you're a big eater and wanna be stuffed. The decor inside this store is so on-theme, it's cute and hilarious. Very Australian! Seating area is clean and the pastries inside the cold case are so very delicious. The owner is a nice lady who is friendly and helpful with info about reheating the frozen pies. Definitely coming back every once in a while to stock up on the frozen pies for a lazy dinner night!

Sausage roll: A delicious ground pork with mild seasonings, wrapped in their signature Aussie Bakery Puff Pastry. The pastry was crispy and layered. The sausage was seasoned well.

San Honoré Panaderia is located in the Island Pacific Seafood Market food court. I love the variety…read moreof bread sold here, which reminds me of Goldilocks and Red Ribbon Bakeshop in other areas of the country. I believe this is the only full fledged Filipino bakery in the area, so it's awesome to see such a great selection. Pianono Ube Roll ($9.99) - After purchase, we took a seat at one of the cafeteria tables to try the roll out. This roll is essentially an ube flavored swiss roll, deep purple in color, but smashed until flat. This seems to be due to how soft the roll is - usually I find swiss rolls denser to stand up to slicing, but this one is so soft and moist there's no way to slice it up without the structure collapsing. It's moist, fluffy, full of ube flavor and isn't too sweet. Unfortunately the quality of the ube roll is suspect. We purchased this on a Saturday afternoon and there was a sticker on the box labeling it best by the following Wednesday. On Monday morning there was visited mold growing all over, so only a day and a half after purchase. It was sitting on table with all the other baked goods and it wasn't obvious that it had to be refrigerated. (2/5) Spanish Bread ($8.99) - I used to love eating the warm, buttery sweet Señorita bread from Starbread bakery down in the Bay Area. They were so delicious, I literally could eat an entire box of ten in one sitting. Seeing it here, I had to pick a box up. San Honore's version is much larger, probably 2 to 3 times the size I'm used to. The bread is hard and dense and it's less golden brown in color and more pale. Breadcrumbs dust the exterior, while the interior is filled with a slightly sweet and dense paste. It's quite dense all around, nothing like the sweet "crack fingers" as my friends used to call them at Starbread. (3/5) Taho ($7.99) - The Taho is served piping hot in plastic cup. It's so hot that it actually melts the plastic and gave me a nasty burned tongue on my first sip. I actually saw another customer come up and ask them to fill up her own metal tumbler - probably the smarter idea. In terms of the drink, there's a super sweet minerally brown sugar coating on the bottom of the cup, followed by plenty of silky and soft tofu, filled with beany flavor and a bit of sweetness. It's very easy to suck up through the straw. The final ingredient on top, a bit of soft sago pearls (there's a sign that states tapioca pearls, but these are definitely sago). The tofu is clean tasting to start, but after an hour or so when it starts to cool down some of the off sour notes come out. There's no way it's gone bad in that amount of time (and it's not an unpleasant sourness), so I wonder if it's from the coagulant being used to make the tofu. (4/5) San Honoré Panaderia is a bit of a mixed bag with questionable quality. There are still a bunch of items I'd love to try but I'm not in any hurry to revisit.

I visited this bakery which is inside a grocery store on a weekend morning for the first time. It…read moreis a fairly new spot in Federal Way, and since it was my first time trying this type of cuisine, I asked a staff member for some insight into the different items they sell. They were incredibly helpful and even offered samples to help me decide! While I was looking around, I noticed a huge variety of freshly baked goods coming out throughout the time I was there. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering how generously they fill the containers they serve in. The service was excellent; the staff were friendly and patient while I made my selections. In the end, I went with an ube bread, a cheesecake, and a savory pastry with meat inside. The flavors were fantastic, and I was very happy with my purchases. I even got to share them with some friends who were also new to this cuisine, and it was a hit! I will definitely be back.

My favorite bakery in the most dangerous location in Burien…read more Not dangerous because of crime. Dangerous because it's directly across the street from my gym. Nothing says "great workout" quite like immediately replacing every calorie you just burned with one of Bakery Nouveau's twice-baked chocolate croissants. I prefer to think of it as strategic carbohydrate replenishment. Everything here is exceptional. The pastries are buttery, flaky, and somehow manage to ruin every grocery store croissant for the rest of your life. The coffee is excellent, the staff is consistently friendly, and it's one of those places where it's impossible to leave with only the one thing you came in for. The neighborhood feels safe, parking is plentiful, and the only real hazard is convincing yourself you deserve "just one more pastry." Five stars. My spin instructor may disagree. Bakery Nouveau is worth every extra minute on the bike.

I love that they make their own chocolate but I have yet to try it as I can't justify spending that much money on a chocolate bar. My favorite item is the twice baked almond croissant. The chocolate is delicious as well. They've gotten much better (in Burien, at least) at dialing in the perfect toast and not over doing it to make it a bit dry and bitter. I'm already planning my trip to pick up some more croissants!

Once you order, you can then pick out a table and sit down and they bring out the drinks and the food to the table. We ordered a bacon avocado Benny and my sister ordered a croissant Benny and we decided to share the Madrid crêpe. Pictures are attached and they look like pieces of art and tasted spectacular. I'm giving four stars due to some of the noise of the blenders and the pounding of something in the kitchen made it very hard to talk at times with my sister. But if there was no super loud noises and I couldn't hear my sister talk from across the table. It would've got five stars all day. Other than that great service great food. I'll definitely highly recommend coming back out and checking out.

I will definitely be coming here again! There are a lot of options for food which can be a little overwhelming. However, it is VERY reasonably priced. $15 for a toast is wild but that's how cafes price things everywhere. However, other cafes smear some avocado on toast and add a tomato and charge you $15, here they give you a whole meal with an egg on top, cucumbers and tomatoes, avocado, and more. It actually feels like it's worth your money. The coffee is good even though it's not too unique. I feel like they used to be a specialty coffee shop before they turned to the crepe/cafe scene. The coffee was very sweet though so I would highly recommend getting it half sweet. The crepe is good, stuffed well and worth the price. It is obviously sweet as well so it's hard to drink a very sweet coffee with a sweet crepe. The barista was kind and helpful with any questions I had when ordering. There was gentleman with a disability ordering before me and the barista was very patient and kind when taking his order. Seems like they have good people working here, which plays a big role in atmosphere.

I mean, even the music was drowned out by yelling and cursing. I'm not surprised we were the only ones in the whole place with such a weird vibe. The food came out before the drinks, which is odd because I didn't think the cocktails were that elaborate compared to a pastie. The cocktails (fat badger and the black hound) were good. The pasties were good too (lamb curry and the steak & mushroom) but the price relative to have big they are doesn't make it the best value and unless you're looking for a snack you'll probably need 2-3. We decided to order more food because we were still hungry but our waitress never came to check on us and all but disappeared off the floor when my husband went to request her twice! She may have been in the kitchen both times, but it's still annoying to have to play scavenger hunt to find a waitress in a pretty much empty restaurant. She eventually did some back and we did order more and she walked away without clearing the empty plates. The drink my husband ordered arrived long after we finished again. I don't understand how a single drink takes 3-4 times longer than food. It might be fun for a game day or to save on cocktails during the happy hour, but otherwise I don't think it's something you need to go out of your way for.
