Reviews for Poverty Bay Cafe & Coffee Company in Federal Way, WA

I?m really disappointed, I?ve been to this cafe a couple of times right before covid hit and loved it, I got really sad to see... that it was still closed when restaurants were starting to open back up, but understood since they were a small business. I?vewaited two years and this morning I finally decided to check again and saw that they were open! I got all ready and left thehouse at 12pm to get there because they were supposed to close at 2pm. I see that they have an ?open? painted on their windows,but when we pull up in the parking lot, the open light sign is off and there?s a ?temporarily closed? sign on their door. Idouble check google maps knowing that I couldn?t have misread their schedule. but no, I?m there at 1:15pm and their schedulesays ?closing soon at 2pm? on google maps. I?m disappointed, I hope to see you guys open again, but really need to fix yourschedule. Read more

You are in the right place if you are looking for a local eatery with lay back atmosphere. poverty bay hash breakfast was fresh... and generously portion. The poverty jack sandwich was excellent. Read more

Came in with my boyfriend for the first time since we always pass this place on our way home. We came in unknowingly 10 mins... before close yesterday and oh my god, the staff was so nice! Since it was our first time she told us about the specials, all themillions of drinks they make, and gave amazing recommendations! We got a buttercream and snickers coffee and it was definitelymade with love. We tried two different pastry cookies, and as we were waiting on the coffee it was just so much fun talking tothe barista who had been working there for 5 years. Her personality shines, her coffee was amazing, and overall we left sayingwhat a nice place with great service (despite us coming in right before close). Forgot your name but thank you! Read more

Waited about 35 minutes to get my food and when it did arive the silverware was dirty...so that was a bit off putting. But other... then that it was hot and VERY good! Leaving full and satisfied ???? Read more

Waited 50 minutes for food. It finally came out and the hollandaise sauce for the eggs Benedict was broken and completely... inedible. The French toast was also cold. While waiting for the food, I also witnessed a man in the kitchen drop a knife on thefloor and pick it back up and put it on the cutting board, not telling anyone it dropped on the floor, so it was used againbefore being washed. I also watched a cool put a made breakfast sandwich on the cutting board next to/touching a dirty dish rag.Pretty sure non of that is sanitary. Would not recommend. Read more

A local, friendly cafe. The omelette I ordered was good for probably for two people. Fluffy omelette was filled with nicely... sautéed peppers, tomatoes, and bacon! They even topped it with freshest fruit! Coffee was delicious. Sourdough was perfect! The only drawback was finding a parking space, but it wasn?t that bad. Apparently, people love this place.

Lots of food, tea (highly recommended!), and coffee options to choose from. Food is good, average price for sit down... restaurants, and servers are very helpful and friendly. A great lunch/brunch or snack place, for relaxing or chatting casuallywith a friend. Tiny issues with the layout. It is very casual and the tables feel crowded when the place is full. Sugar,creamer, water and a few other things are self-serve from a nook on the wall. It was a bit of a pain for my friend and I, sincewe bought pots of tea and every time we drain our cups, we had to get up for more sugar and what not. It killed the flow ofconversation a few times.
