    Lemon blueberry scone
    Adam C.

    Wow there's some delicious stuff here! We arrived just after 11:30am and although it was our first time it did seem like a lot of stuff was already gone. But we got a bunch of treats to share and most of them were high quality and super tasty! My favorite was definitely the coconut cake, it was incredibly soft and airy and had a great amount of coconut flakes which made me happy since I love coconut! 5/5 We also had a banana cinnamon swirl muffin and lemon blueberry scone which were both super good! The muffin was very cinnamon heavy but wonderful, and thankfully wasn't overly sweet. The only thing missing was peanut butter on top. The lemon icing on that scone really made it! It was maybe EVER SO SLIGHTLY dry but barely noticeable. Both of those 4/5 The raspberry coffee cake was decent but wasn't mind blowing or anything and I'd skip it next time. Maybe 2.5/5 Not pictured was the coconut fiji bar which I honestly really enjoyed, seemed like it had a base of a cookie almost then a layer of chocolate then a top layer of a soft, sugary gel like paste with lots of coconut flakes mixed in! The top paste was pretty sweet but that cookie like layer and the chocolate layers weren't too sweet. I liked it! 5/5 The chocolate chip cookie was my least favorite, I just wasn't a fan of the taste and texture. After chewing and swallowing my bite it felt like a very fine sand like aftertaste in my mouth. And just wasn't flavorful. 1/5 But overall it's absolutely worth stopping at! I really wanted to try the cinnamon rolls and thankfully the cashier told us they ONLY SELL THEM FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS and are usually sold out before 11am!! Mom and I will definitely be back and try to snag one of those, and maybe the s'mores bar because it looks amazing. But yea still tons of delicious treats here even if a couple were misses!

    Pita with feta dip
    Angi C.

    Wren's Nest now offers dinner on their rooftop! Hands-down, one of the best views in Tacoma. We shared the feta dip with their homemade pita bread. It was absolutely delicious. We could've used more pita bread however we were left with a lot of dip! Each one of us ordered a cocktail I had the cosmopolitan, which was really well done. We both ordered an entrée, the cheesy Joe and the short ribs. We both split our meals half-and-half, so each were able to try some of each. The cheesy Joe was good, the bun was a bit dense, but I believe that's because it's gluten-free. The short ribs were delicious. Highly recommend if you would love a great dinner, beautiful view, and some great cocktails. Our waitress was super nice, but also extremely stressed. She had a ton of tables to oversee and we were not checked on very frequently. Service would be the only reason why I would not give this place five stars. They could've been short staffed that night. Still highly recommend.

    Really popular gluten free bakery with a barn aesthetic aura. Beautiful cakes, really cool seating nooks and vaulted ceilings in a historic looking building. When you enter, you'll likely be met by a long line because there is only one cash register. But entertain yourself by reading the big menu board on the back wall that has no prices No, you have to wait to get close to the cash register to see the prices of things, and what is in stock when you're there... Due to the gf nature, everything is a few dollars more expensive than a normal bakery. Everything looks pretty and delectable. The only reason this was on my radar was because I heard they sell kolaches, before I knew they were gf. I ordered one sundried tomato pesto kolache to try and was impressed with the size. Initial bites were tasty and I don't think I would have known it was gluten free unless someone told me. But about halfway through I got really tired of eating it. It was a bit heavy, salty and oily. They could probably use less sundried tomato and pesto and more egg or potato or something to soak up the oil and salt. I did not feel very good after eating it... I am sure their cookies and cakes and pies are very good but I would not buy the kolache again. Plus, it was more like a piroshky than a kolache in the Texas sense of the word. So don't be disappointed like me when you hear they sell kolaches and think you're going to get a fluffy, sausage cheese and jalapeno filled dough of goodness.

    Mezcal old-fashioned. Short rib dish.  My favorite.

    Wrens nest at night is a great restaurant. They have a full bar and the food is amazing. The view and the atmosphere there is nothing better. The weight staff is so friendly. I can't stop going to this place.

    Before sunset !

    Love the view on the roof top dining area . We went in the evening and the view was gorgeous. Food was delicious. Dessert was even better !!

    Carrot Cake
    Danae S.

    Came here with my daughter for a little treat after doing a hike. From what I could see, there is only street parking, but it was free and I didn't have trouble finding a spot. The building is very nice. There were so many cakes and pastries on display. We chose a slice of carrot cake and I got a cappuccino. When found a spot to sit and there is ample space to sit and chat or work. The theme is "horse stable" which is so cool! Nice fireplace in the middle and further back they have longer tables. We wish we could have checked out their "rooftop" but I think it was closed because when we hit the button on the elevator, nothing happened.....Would definitely return back if we are ever in the area!

    The most amazing bakery discovery in a long while for me. They have such a beautiful space and the selection is unique. I grabbed the gluten free cinnamon banana muffin and I could not stop myself from eating it all in one sitting with my Americano. The texture and taste reminds me of Vietnamese banana bread that my mom used to make. That nostalgia is priceless. I am totally coming back and trying more next time I'm in this area. I parked in the neighborhood. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Iced Cold Brew Latte
    Maejay C.

    Our first time coming here. The coffee was good! I had an iced Americano, and it was smooth and enjoyable. My friend ordered an iced cold brew but it seemed like there was more ice than actual drink. We asked the barista if that was normal, and they said it was. It honestly felt like we were paying more for the ice than the drink. Just a heads-up--if you're ordering an iced drink, you may want to ask for half ice so you can enjoy more of your beverage.

    This updated review is based on the Mother's Day tea snacks they had for preorder. They were all absolutely incredible and I really wish this is something they can do more often because it was a great way to not only sample more of their items, but to enjoy them fresh even from the comfort of one's home. We picked up the box the Saturday before Mother's Day and we ate things slowly, the baking directions worked perfectly for us and the jams or spreads provided were perfect. I just wish they labeled them so we'd know what fruits were in them for anyone with intolerances/allergies. Overall, we will be back and I discovered new favorite items; I just hope they're on the regular menu!

    The line was out the door
    Elisabeth P.

    Omg where has this been all my gluten free life?! Where do I begin?? The cakes? The variety of bread loaves and muffins? Their meat filled pasties?? You had me at..all of the above..and I did in fact sample.. all of the above.. in one sitting. It's one of my prouder moments. Highlights? The German chocolate cake was to die for and the beef empanada goes perfectly with whatever it is you're wearing, so just get both. Long line but worth it. Fully gluten-free and they take it very seriously not allowing any outside food that could cross contaminate. There is a little seating in the vicinity, but lots of people seemed to grab and go. Arrive early if you desire cinnamon roll goodness.. and who doesn't desire cinnamon rolly goodness?

    The view

    The absolutely most lovely place! Wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere and the sweetest owner! It's a total gem!

    Beautiful multipurpose building. So sweet and charming. Very busy and already running low or sold out of items. Completely gluten free. Delicious looking cookies, pastries, quiches and breads. Coffee and tea available as well.

    I'm not a gluten free person but this place is so beautiful I had to give it a try -- especially since I'd heard so much about it. Well, it's a really beautiful spot and it's gluten free. The peanut butter cookie was wonderful, so peanuty and soft and the coffee was okay. But really you go to the Wren's Nest for the aesthetic experience. The design is exquisite (especially for Tacoma!) and it feels like a magical getaway the moment you walk in. A perfect spot to grab something warm on your way to or from Point Defiance Park on a cold day.

    Our dinner table for 3. Seriously?

    After trying several of their baked goods at local coffeeshops in Tacoma area, I discovered an…read moreopportunity from social media that they were having a pop up at their own brick and mortar baking kitchen, with collab with local coffee, Civic Roasters, a few months back. I know they do not have regular open hours for just walk in purchase, but rather, they're custom order type business, but I have yet to place any custom orders so I cannot speak to that experience. What made me write this review is how accurate the owner (Brianne) described cake and desserts in the description and the baked goods taste matched 200% of the description. The pistachio cake was out of the world, so was the whoopie pie!!! I got to meet Brianne in person and she was very friendly, and was kind to explain everything about each of her baked goods she had out that day. I've tried their baked goods from pop tarts to cookies to housemade Twinkie and the creation and taste are unmatched. Single serve baked goods were more on pricier side, but well worth every bite. I would definitely order custom baked goods from here, knowing the quality and taste of products from this shop!!! Currently, you can find Spilled Butter baked goods at Cosmonaut coffee, Outer Dark Coffee, and at Tacoma Farmers Market (also known as Tacoma Broadway Farmers Market) from time to time. Enjoy!!!

    Amazingly light and flavorful bakes, it's very exciting when you do pop-up sales in your Oakland…read morelocation.

    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.

My eggs benedict arrived cold, and the English muffin was so tough that I had to ask for a steak knife just to cut through it. When I mentioned to our server that the meal was cold, she said it was because of the lox. That didn't really explain why the eggs, hollandaise, and English muffin were also cold. She did bring me a replacement, which was actually warm. Unfortunately, the service continued to be disappointing. Our server brought the wrong sides and never apologized or corrected the mistake. She said she would bring out the correct sides, but they never arrived. We were a party of seven, and throughout the meal it felt like our table was an afterthought which is especially frustrating because a 20% gratuity was automatically added. To make matters worse, they brought out a dessert for the birthday that the birthday girl was allergic to even though she had made her gluten allergy known when she initially ordered her meal. Overall, this was a profoundly suck-ass experience. For a roughly $30 entrée, I expected much better food, service, and attention to detail.
