“ I visited on a Sunday afternoon and had a delightful experience! Located slightly away from the bustling Bellevue center, the café benefits from ample street parking nearby and straight across the library. The space is a bit limited, and during our Sunday afternoon visit, we were fortunate to secure the last available seats. We ordered the strawberry and mango matcha. The drinks were a sweet treat. I look forward to returning to explore more of their beverage options. Cute spot! ”
“ Updating my review as this place deserves 5 stars. I always have a pleasant experience here. Cafe Joy is so cute and the flowers bring me joy along with the great service! Cafe Joy is located across the street from the downtown Bellevue library making it an easy and convenient location. You can park at the library and walk over. Cafe is small and super cute. The croffles are delicious and so are the drinks! My last visit I tried the Honey Lavender Latte which was delicious!!! The barista was super kind and respectful and made an amazing drink. This cafe is super cute and I love the flowers :) Cafe Joy is amazing and a great location next to the library!! ”
“ I've been wanting to try a sweet corn latte and saw that cafe joy had one. It's only available iced which is fine. It's served with one of the lids that you can just sip from. That detail is only important because this is a drink that needs to be stirred. The first half-ish of the drink was just coffee before I had enough room to really stir it. Once I was able to, it was obvious that it had enough sweet corn syrup to sweeter that first half. It does genuinely taste like corn which is fascinating. Do I have an urge to try this particular drink again? Nope but it's a cute cafe and would definitely stop by again go try something else. My only critic for this drink is that the syrup really should be stirred with the coffee because the lid implies that you wouldn't need to. ”
“ Humble little coffee shop with unique Korean treats and flavors of latte/tea. Seems like a good place to get homework/work done although seating is limited. The high top chairs aren't the most comfortable to work from long term. I tried the black sesame latte (milk alternative was $1.25) and the pistachio latte. They both tasted okay. The banana almond cruffle was delicious though! ”
“ Strawberry Matcha was really good. Probably a 7.5/10. mocha was not bad but probably wouldn't order it again. Good ambiance and conveniently across the library. ”
“ I had been wanting to go here for so long! It's a quaint cafe, with limited seating but overall so cute. They even allow dogs! The barista was very friendly and quite helpful since it took us a minute to order. She even had some treats ready for our pup! I got the strawberry matcha latte and my buddy got the strawberry dalgona! The matcha was good and wasn't too bitter... the strawberry purée definitely helped it a lot. And the strawberry dalgona was a bit disappointing in taste, especially since it's a customer favorite. I felt like the strawberry purée did not compliment the dalgona, but to each their own haha. ”
“ A cute, nice, and new cafe to try in Bellevue! Dogs are welcome which is very cool! I enjoyed the ambiance of the store. It was well decorated and organized. There's not too many seating though. We had their Strawberry Matcha which was good. Also had their Strawberry Dalgona which is known to be their popular drink. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it that much. I wouldn't recommend it. Plus strawberry and Dalgona may not go together The service was good. Server was helpful and nice. The drinks didn't take that long to make. ”
“ Happy to say I'm a regular here at Cafe Joy! This is such a cute Korean cafe in downtown Bellevue, perfect for anything from getting some work done to catching up with a friend. I've tried many drinks from their menu and they were all great, but my favorites are the strawberry dalgona latte and the dalgona latte. They have so many unique flavors, and you can't go wrong. Additionally, their croffles are so delicious -- I really enjoyed their berry and biscoff flavors. The staff are always so friendly and kind, and the interior decor is so cute. Seating is limited, as it's a smaller cafe, but it's usually not an issue! ”
“ This is a pretty cute Korean cafe in Bellevue which is great for chill vibes, a hangout, or a date. We went here on a Sunday around 12:30pm and it was not busy, a nice break from busy brunch spots. We got the sweet corn latte on recommendation of a friend, a mango matcha latte, K-street toast for something savory, and a strawberry matcha croffle for a dessert. The sweet corn latte is fairly unique and delicious. The coffee mixes quite well with the sweet corn puree below; make sure to mix it well so you won't end up drinking pure sweet corn or coffee at a given point. The mango matcha latte is solid, just a little artificial tasting from the mango syrup. The K-street toast is fairly hearty with some ham, eggs, and 2 thick slices of toast. It also comes with a potato salad. The strawberry matcha croffle is good amount of sweetness and the matcha cream is dalgona like. I liked the buttery flavor of the croffle; after all, a croffle is an intersection of a croissant and waffle. ”
