This is my "go to choice" whenever someone wants to go out for coffee, I know that their drinks…read morewill be superb. They make their syrups inhouse, and you can tell, even a basic caramel latte tasted like the most delicate, handcrafted drink. They have fun seasonals, they're a hit or miss obviously based on your preferences, but I love them all so far. My go to drink pairing is a cardamon and ginger latte. The inside is SO HOMEY. It's rare to find coffee shops that haven't succumbed to the hospital white aesthetic, so this is so refreshing on the head. It is the ideal shop to study in. The cups and plates are my favorite thing about this place. The cups are handmade and just so stinking cute. The baristas are so welcoming every single time I come in, they look like they just love their job and love to chat with the customers. The outside of the shop is a mint green which really throws me off because the inside is so cute. The parking situation is a little limited as well, there's a few parking spots near the shop and the rest is street parking. They have a large selection of pastries and some food but know that if you come in the afternoon there probably won't be much left, they go pretty quick. Amazing shop, it's a different aesthetic than what most shops are but it feeds that "homey" craving that I have when I want to study at a coffee shop.

My constant is the Cardigan Latte, and then I rotate through whatever seasonal drinks inevitably convince me to stray from my usual. The space is warm and inviting, the people are wonderful, and it works just as well for grabbing something quickly as it does for settling in and staying awhile. I've been here more times than I could possibly count, and the fact that I continue choosing it when Tacoma has no shortage of great coffee shops probably says everything. Get the Cardigan Latte. And if the seasonal menu distracts you on the way there, I understand completely.

This is a truly great cafe! Tucked away in downtown Tacoma, I came on a Saturday afternoon and it…read morewas very busy. I was lucky to grab a seat just as someone else was leaving, and while it is definitely a tight fit when packed, the space is laid out well with both indoor and outdoor seating options. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by their merch display, the menu, and fresh baked goods. They offer all the standard drinks alongside a fantastic selection of seasonal items. I ordered the Island Breeze from the summer menu, which was amazing, so much so that I even ordered another one to share with my friend! I somehow also managed to snag the very last chicken chipotle sandwich, and it did not disappoint at all, especially with the great portion size. The service was wonderful, and I really enjoyed my friendly interactions with the staff. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be back to try out their fall menu!

It always seems like some new discovery awaits for this category here and it's always delicious.

Still five stars all of the way and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

Ebony and Ivory Coffee is a cafe located in Downtown Tacoma. There are three locations; Lacey,…read moreTacoma, and Federal Way. This was our first time visiting one of their cafes. They have a monthly rotating menu of four limited drinks for their drink flights. For the month of February the four drinks were: - Lots of Love Lotus -- pink lotus with rose and lavender syrup, topped with lavender cold foam. - Eternal Flame Latte -- espresso with sweet heat syrup and brown sugar cinnamon, finished with a honey and red sugar rim. - Sweetheart Sip Matcha -- iced matcha with cherry and almond syrup, topped with a maraschino cherry. - Perfect Pair Latte -- espresso with dark chocolate, white chocolate, and strawberry, topped with whipped cream and strawberry drizzle. The drinks were all great. In addition to the drink flight, we ordered a chocolate vegan muffin and a Danish to snack on. The space is wonderful. It is a fairly large space that could be used to study, work, or even socialize in. The service is also excellent. The staff are friendly and delivered our drink flight right to us!

With high vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows with offerings of wine too as well as a view of the mountain. The Federal Way location is pretty small with minimal seating.

Very cute place! Tucked away in an alley near downtown Tacoma…read more I had been eyeing this place for a while. I have seen it here on Yelp. I had been seeing some NA cocktails on my social media feed and saw that Soulberry Coffee House stocks them. Figured it is better to try them one by one rather than committing to a subscription order online. They have great coffee and pastries, from what I tried. I got a muffin, donut, and turnover and the latte of the month. Looks like their specialty is coffee and mocktails. I believe they roast their own coffee. They have a pretty good size mocktail menu. They sell packaged NA RTDs, as well as alcohol free/removed wines and spirits, bitters, syrups, elderberry syrup, fired cider, honey, teas and more. The folks at the counter were friendly and welcoming. They also had some alcohol free/removed wines out for complimentary tasting. The one I tried was surprisingly delicious. It appears they have some sort of loyalty program at checkout, but I am unsure of the details. I forgot to ask about military discount. I would definitely come back.

Cruised by while staying in DT Tacoma for a conference…read more Gotta have coffee while in Seattle, right? Found this place near the hotel and enjoyed the experience. The place has a very campfire feel to it...hence the name. Loved the deco and picks of folks travelling and at various camps from all over. There was also a Mobile ordering station for maybe when it gets busy? I had the Nitro (maple) cold brew, which was super good. My coworker had an espresso shot plus a coffee...I can't remember what he ordered, but he really liked it as well...so 3 for 3 on our choices. Chances are good you'll like what you get here. Parking - Spot is in downtown Tacoma, so I can see parking being an issue, there is street parking but we were there outside of any possible rush time.

The food is delicious, and they are very generous with it. Seriously, there isn't anything here that is not scrumptious and I left absolutely stuffed! In addition, the tea selection they have is on point! Including a smokey tea I'd never heard of that was absolutely fabulous. Don't judge this place by the outside - the decor inside is adorable, with lots of unique and fun antique pieces. The staff is extremely attentive, kind, and even fun! We didn't expect it but there was a live pianist, and he was extremely talented (and funny). My BFF and I are a bit of tea snobs; we've been to tea rooms in both England, Kirland, and Seattle; this one by far has been our favorite. I really can't say enough great things about this place. I hope we can return soon, because it might be one of my new favorite (and unique) places in Tacoma! This really made my bridal party so thank you to the entire staff - we had a great experience!

And everyone was super sweet at the cafe, kept checking in on us because we got the back room. One reminder for future self and those interested in a morning of quiet piano and relaxing tea time, do book a table ahead of time! It gets quite busy especially on Saturdays.
