Cafe Aloe Pt 2

If you are in Bellevue, you have to check out Cafe Aloe – this is not my first time posting about this place. But they have so many great drinks and food, I had to go back for more! This time I tried their cute steamed buns that look like little pigs – they areContinue reading “Cafe Aloe Pt 2”

Kura Sushi Pt. 2

Kura sushi is still all the rage across the country, but luckily the fandom in Bellevue has died down a bit. I have been on a sushi kick lately and really wanted to go back to Kura for hopefully less of a wait time. This time, we were greeted with a fairly empty parking lotContinue reading “Kura Sushi Pt. 2”

Sweet Notes

Sweet Notes is tucked away in a little shopping center in Kent, WA right next to the Trader Joe’s. I go to TJs every week, even multiple times a week, but have never been to this cafe.

Xi’an Noodles

I first went to Xi’an Noodles back in like 2016 or 2017…a long long time ago. My friend actually found it on yelp and was like let’s try it! So we drove all the way from Kent to Udisctrict for some noodles. Seems crazy, right? It was so worth it though and I would driveContinue reading “Xi’an Noodles”

Semicolon is a cut little cafe located in Bellevue! They also have locations in New Jersey and New York City. Their name, semicolon, is to represent the symbol of a semicolon which indicates a pause between two independent clauses. They want the cafe to be a place you can come and pause and get thatContinue reading “Semicolon”

Exit 5 Korean BBQ

Let me set the stage for you. You walk in to the restaurant, you’re seated at a large table around a small grill that is sunken in to the table – a permanent fixture. Before you can even look at the menu, you are greeted by a server and a dozen little dishes – theseContinue reading “Exit 5 Korean BBQ”
