Highly recommend this adorable cafe for their delicious pastries and food.
Food portions are massive, and pastries are quite large too.
Pad thai w/ chicken - One of the best pad thai I've had. Perfect balance of sweet, salty, spicy, sour, and funky. Most pad thai I've had in Seattle is dumbed down a bit, whether to save on costs or cater to an American palate. I can tell this pad thai uses real tamarind, and it's not shy with the fish sauce and dried shrimp. Comes with thai dried chili flakes, peanuts, and lime to augment to your liking. Only small thing is I wish the chicken were cut into smaller pieces.
Basil chicken rice bowl - Seasoning was delicious - soy saucey, fish saucey, a bit sweet and aromatic from the basil. Quite spicy at 2/3 spice level. Again, wish the chicken were cut into smaller pieces. Would also have loved if it included stir fried vegetables.
Egg tart - Pretty good, especially reheated in the oven! Surprisingly the custard was not sweet at all. I still enjoyed it, but I think it would be better sweeter.
Chicken curry puff - Very large, very good! The fish sauce flavor came out a bit more than expected.
Mango sticky rice ice cream - Coconut sticky rice, fresh mangoes, toasted nuts, and a scoop of ice cream. Yum!
Service was very friendly and cheerful. Atmosphere was very cute and cozy. Prices are very reasonable. For example, you can get a slice of crepe cake for half the...
Read moreI came here on a Sunday for my third visit. My first two visits was extremely well, the lady working was nice and food was delicious. On my third visit I was looking forward on trying more food on the menu but the older man working was really rude. I had ordered ahead of time over the phone letting him know I wanted light ice on the Thai tea. When I came in I started paying and he started making the Thai tea, I noticed the cup was completely full of ice so I asked if I could get light ice. He than angrily said if I give you less ice than it’s going to be completely hot. At this point, I thought I wouldn’t have had to explain myself but I’ll have too so I said that I’m sensitive to really cold stuff and that my brain freezes get pretty bad. He than angrily took a small scoop out and exclaimed this ok. I was at this point over the whole tantrum he was throwing so I just said told him if he can take half the ice off and I think I’ll be ok with it. I walked to the table to start eating, 10 minutes pass so I turn around too see what happened to the ice tea and he’s just sitting back on his phone. My Thai tea there on the counter. Not trying to be picky or anything but I feel like most places call you up when your order is ready or they just bring it to you. This experience makes me not want to come back when he’s...
