    Salted Carmel Foam cold brew
    Emily P.

    10 out of 10 recommend! I was struggling to find a cute breakfast/brunch location in Auburn and Sweet Notes was the perfect find! Everything was amazing from the crossaint based cinnamon roll (as for it warmed up!), the bacon benne avocado toast, and the savory crepe. The coffee drinks were over the top. We had a cold brew salted carmel latte and a decaf hot horchata. Yum yum yum! Clean place, great staff, don't miss this one!

    Avocado Toast with feta and tomatoes
    Marina P.

    The decor in here is very cute with comfortable chairs. There are no servers so order first and then find a seat. I ordered the avocado toast and the Dulce de Leche Crepe. The crepe was delicious and had just the right amount of sweetness. Not too rich, but still very satisfying, strawberries tasted fresh too. For the avocado toast, the avocado topping was fresh and flavorful, but the crust on the avocado toast was very hard, which made it difficult to eat at first. Overall, the food was good and I'd come back to try other items!

    Got the pink dream smoothie. It was pretty good, just needed a little more sweetness. Service was friendly and the cafe was cute.

    Avocado toast + sweet caramel coffee

    This place is so cute! A little small because of how much customers they have! No wonder they were packed when I arrive because of how good their food is! The bagel was very crisp and delicious the avocado toast was so good! The seasonings they put hit so good! 100% recommend

    It was an overdue breakfast with a friend and she sent me 3 places to go. I am glad we chose this one. Food was really good. Nothing like them old diners. We picked the two most popular items there since it was our first time. We enjoyed our long breakfast. Thank you! Glad we stopped by!

    I went here on a visit when I was in Washington. Very cute little spot with friendly employees. The drinks were fabulous and tasted wonderful, as well as the food being picture perfect and delicious. They were still decorated with a Christmas tree and pink bows, which were adorable. A great place to have a sit down breakfast.

    Ham, egg, and cheese croissant
    Elizabeth M.

    Im a bit sad to write this review because I had a much better experience the first time I visited Sweet Notes Cafe. Unfortunately, the quality and attention to detail didn't seem to be there this time. I ordered the Ube Matcha Latte, but there was no noticeable ube flavor or color--it just tasted like a plain matcha latte. When I asked the server about it, she said that's just how they make it, which was disappointing. There was no real difference between the Ube Matcha and a regular Matcha Latte. The ham, egg, and cheese croissant was also underwhelming--the egg was completely off-center, so I had to adjust it myself. Additionally, someone in my party ordered a Chai Latte with two shots of espresso, but after tasting it, it was clear there was no espresso in it, despite paying extra for the shots. What's frustrating is that we visited during a non-busy time, so the lack of attention to detail in both food and drinks was surprising. If the fun, specialty drinks aren't going to be flavorful or made correctly, you might as well stick to the plain options. Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown.

    This cafe is soooo cute! I love pink and this place has so much pink in it! I love it! I've been here several times and I think the only downside is that often times I find that the young ladies at the register are just a little aloof. They don't really engage with the clients and look like they're not very happy being there. Customer service is super important! The food is really good and I do enjoy their coffee as well! My go to is this egg stack that comes with avocado, bacon, tomatoes, it is really tasty! It also does get fairly busy, but it's worth a try!

    Banana 4 U Matcha, Banana Foster Waffle
    Vanessa L.

    Visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it was packed, despite it being an hour before close. Servers/cashier did not seem too thrilled about me visiting around that time. Well, except one who was serving my waffles. I ordered a Banana 4 U Matcha and a Banana Foster Waffle. Matcha was seasonal and wasnt as bitter as I hoped it would be. Tasted subtly sweet instead. Banana Foster was not overly sugary and the waffles were fluffy. Generous pieces of waffles, could not finish and had to box it to eat for another day. Overall, I still recommend for a quick treat. Despite the servers, was able to read and enjoy my bite to eat for lunch.

    Acai bowl

    Got an acai bowl and the granola is so fresh and nutty and the portion was huge i couldn't even finish! Cafe was super cute and had plenty of seating and gave a good small business homey vibe!

They have real early hours where they open up at seven in the morning. I think I might even go back and try lunch there one of these days soon because their sandwich menu looked pretty decent.

Food was brought out with the wrong eggs. No biggie. I politely informed the food runner of the error and he took the entire plate back. not to mention, wasn't even offered water refills. Not once. After about 9-12 mins, I still didn't have my food so I asked. When it was brought out it was extremely cold. when I told the younger waitress, she said, she wasn't sure why she offered me a pastry or to remake my food. I declined both as I did not want to continue waiting even longer since my friend had already finished her food by the time I got my second plate. instead, I asked if a manager was available, which I was told no shortly after my friend and I over here the young waitress talking about me and the food issue to her coworker. Inappropriate, I was given a card and told to call tomorrow for a manager. I called the restaurant the next day around 1 PM and spoke to the owner. Before I could even talk, he told me he already heard what happens and offered me a free pastry. I asked if he would be willing to hear my side of the story, as I was explaining to the story, he would continue to interrupt and over-talk me. He told me it's my word versus their word as far as the coworker talking about me in the corner. His only solution was to offer me a free pastry. I told him I didn't want a free pastry that I wanted him to take notes of the food issue and the inappropriate behavior of his staff talking about their patrons in front of them. The owner continued arguing with me and telling me he's not polite he's a matter of fact, and if I don't like it too bad, there's nothing he could do. I can see why the ratings have gone down since the new ownership. I will not be back. PS- Dont sit in the Russian girls section. Unless you like low end customer service and to be talked about.

The place gets busy with customers and other Turkish families, which is a good sign. You order up at the counter when you walk in, then you pay and they give you a number to take to your table.

I was always thought all mediterranean restaurants are the same, but this one is a little different for me. Everything has yogurt in it and I'm not too crazy about sour yogurt. The restaurant is in a little shopping center, there are actually quite a few places to park. The restaurant is very nice, clean and airy. It's a self order, and they bring the food to your table. The prices are around $20 a dish. My sister ordered all the dishes, pizza, chicken, wontons, they all looked delicious but the tastes are so different for me. The wontons are not as tasty as Chinese wontons and they're not soft. The chicken is tasty but not very flavorful. The yogurt is very sour and rich. I had some slices of pizza, but nothing to rave about. Anyhow, at least I know what Turkish food is like. This one is supposed to be the best one in Tacoma and my sister family love it. Like they say, it's not my cup of tea.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #117…read more We visited Onit Cafe on a rainy Saturday afternoon in June, hoping to score an after lunch boba. Sprinting through the downpour, as we hadn't expected the rain, we threw ourselves into this modern, yet industrial shop, where we saw a couple of people sitting inside like us to wait out the rain. We placed our order with the friendly bobarista and got our drink within a couple of minutes. Jasmine Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - The milk tea has a heavy powdery creamer flavor, but it's not gritty or silty at all. Unfortunately it's so heavy that the drink tastes almost entirely like creamer with only a tiny bit of flowery finish. It's not the most pleasant flavor due to this quality. While the creamer is on the heavier end, the sweetness is not; at half sweet it's not too sweet. The boba is very good, super bouncy and chewy with basically the ideal texture. They aren't marinated that long so aren't quite that sweet or flavorful. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Onit Cafe is one of those rare places where I liked the boba far more than the drink. I don't visit Federal Way too often, but if I'm even down there again, I'd give it another shot to see if I can get a better drink next time.

The restaurant is located in a small plaza. Parking lot is small and we were able to park easily. Upon entry, we were greeted and were seated right away. We had a window view which was nice. We enjoyed basking under the sun LOL! For starters, we ordered two coffee, cream and sugar while we browsed the menu. The restaurant was pretty spacious and clean. Not well lit or bright. It appeared that one section (rear) was kind of dark. It was a little odd. After we placed our order. It took approximately 45-50 minutes to receive our food. It was quite long. Sadly, our waitress didn't check in to refill our coffee. My daughter ordered the waffle combo with two sunny side eggs, hash browns and two sausage links $20.99. She enjoyed her food. I had a chance to try her Belgium waffle. It was light, airy and good. For my meal, I ordered the Avocado Florentine with carne asada (up charge $5.99) Total $25.99. It looked really delicious however, it was not. Unfortunately, it was bland. No seasoned and no flavor. I added salt and it still did not taste good. It didn't help. I had only three spoons and stopped eating. This has never happened. I had packed up my leftovers for my husband have at it. When my husband tried it, he stated it was bland. I rarely give bad reviews and rarely have bad tasting breakfast. This one hit that for me. =(
