    Great cappuccino (8/10) at Curran Coffee, with very friendly, easy-to-talk-to staff. It's connected to the neighboring bar, so there's plenty of seating and a relaxed, spacious feel.

    I love Curran Coffee! I'm so glad I found this coffee shop during my time in Tacoma as this place was the perfect way to start my week-long conference. Curran Coffee is a delightful coffee shop in north Tacoma, with the friendliest staff and charming location. I wanted to find a coffee spot on the way to the University of Puget Sound where my conference was from the hotel I was staying, and fortunately, Curran Coffee was there for me. After trying Curran Coffee for the first time, I ended up visiting again for my coffee and breakfast run as it ended up being better than the other Tacoma coffee spots I tried. Located in north Tacoma in the cutest neighborhood, it definitely has that local, neighborhood vibe. In fact, every time I visited Curran Coffee, the baristas recognized many of the other patrons who were clearly frequent customers and locals, and would chat with them about everything. I love these kind of businesses where the staff and community members have formed a friendship! The coffee is good with many inventive drinks and pastries from the local Three Hearts bakery in Tacoma. I ordered the Taurus drink once and ended up getting it every time I visited. It's a dirty vanilla chai with chocolate and macadamia, which is one of my favorite combinations. Also for breakfast, one of their only savory pastries they offer here is a ham and swiss croissant from Three Hearts. And I'm not a ham fan, but this was one of the best croissants I've had! It was a great breakfast that I ordered each time I visited Curran. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my go-to coffee shop. But it was awesome to have found this during my week in Tacoma, for some much-needed coffee and a pastry to start the day. Thank you, Curran!

    Iced tea

    My iced tea was very good! Love that they have different options for iced tea as well. The cashier was nice and the ambiance is quite nice. There are not too many outlets however so had to wait for one to open up. Overall very cute and definitely would recommend.

    Good options, lots of drink varieties. Friendly and helpful service. Drinks were solid, tons of interior and exterior seating. Plenty of parking.

    Delicious and great staff. Customer service is really amazing, Audrey was nice enough to make my dogs some pup cups alongside my human order. I love their unique drinks (classic ones are delish too) and the pastries are great. Inside can be pretty warm on hot days but the outdoor seating is always an option.

    Best coffee shop I've ever been to! The espresso flavor was phenomenal, the syrups were top notch, and their bagels are quite literally the best I ever had. Prices are reasonable, the staff is very friendly, and the cafe is cute as well. I cannot say enough good things about this spot. You MUST try it yourself.

    Brianne is amazing! trying a taste tester before ordering our wedding cake was so easy! her cakes…read moreare absolutely delicious and will be ordering more for future occasions. her artistic vision for our desserts was perfect! contacting her was effortless and she got back to us whenever we had questions or needed to make adjustments to our order! thank you, thank you for making our wedding day magical !!!

    After trying several of their baked goods at local coffeeshops in Tacoma area, I discovered an…read moreopportunity from social media that they were having a pop up at their own brick and mortar baking kitchen, with collab with local coffee, Civic Roasters, a few months back. I know they do not have regular open hours for just walk in purchase, but rather, they're custom order type business, but I have yet to place any custom orders so I cannot speak to that experience. What made me write this review is how accurate the owner (Brianne) described cake and desserts in the description and the baked goods taste matched 200% of the description. The pistachio cake was out of the world, so was the whoopie pie!!! I got to meet Brianne in person and she was very friendly, and was kind to explain everything about each of her baked goods she had out that day. I've tried their baked goods from pop tarts to cookies to housemade Twinkie and the creation and taste are unmatched. Single serve baked goods were more on pricier side, but well worth every bite. I would definitely order custom baked goods from here, knowing the quality and taste of products from this shop!!! Currently, you can find Spilled Butter baked goods at Cosmonaut coffee, Outer Dark Coffee, and at Tacoma Farmers Market (also known as Tacoma Broadway Farmers Market) from time to time. Enjoy!!!

    A coworker had recommended this place, and I decided to go along with him during breakfast hours…read more We luckily got here when it was not busy, as he has told me that it can get quite busy here. The service was pretty quick. Ambiance was appealing with many baked items and a very nice aroma that got my Ghrelin levels going! They have many different savory and sweet options. I ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches which came with sausage, muffin, and eggs. OH MY GOD. This was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have tried in a while. Absolutely amazing. I am lucky that I don't live right by this place, otherwise I would spend all of my money here. I also got a sausage quiche which was not bad, but I wish I had tried some of their croissants. The croissants were placed around the corner of where I ordered, so I had not seen them. Had I seen the croissants, I would have ordered them and devoured them. I am definitely coming back to this place and HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

    I always pass by this shop, so today I finally decided to come in and give it a proper try…read more Ambiance: It's definitely very inviting. The floral arrangements and product displays were clearly designed with great care. All the items are wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. The shop is quite spacious, and the interesting paintings on the walls really leave an impression. All of this plays a huge role in building up their customer base. Service: The signage inside is clear, and everyone lines up in an orderly way. The staff is warm and welcoming, and they even asked if I wanted my bread warmed up. The order came out very fast--overall, a great service experience. Taste: I ordered two pastries: an almond croissant and a chocolate croissant. The almond croissant was packed with ingredients, with a thick, rich layer of processed almond filling in the middle. The texture was great--highly recommended! However, the chocolate croissant was a total disaster!!! My first bite was actually satisfying; the chocolate flavor and texture were rich. But on my second bite, I realized... it was underbaked. So disappointing.

    We were looking for a bakery to get good whole grain bread. You know the homemade bread with 12…read moregrains and good rye, that is better than the institutionalized bread. So as my go to guide I yelped it! And up popped Kusher Bakery. You know I had to go and today we went there. It's an Eastern European bakery, and grocery store with products from multiple Eastern Europe countries. The selections are very good and then there is the bread baked daily except on Sunday. A bonus is the fact all the fresh baked bread can be sliced for you or you can take it home and slice it yourself. Having this service is great. Dark rye, 12-grain, and others that are....... well too many and all looked delicious. There is fresh baked Lavash, soft and delicious and many of the breads were still warm and fresh. The fresh piroshki! Awesome to say the least, Chicken, Cheese, Cabbage, and Apricot were available and hot. Look you can go to the other market on 70th and get very good stuff and pay quite a lot more, or go to Kusher and get a better selection and pay reasonable prices. Yes it is smaller but bigger is not always better and having this small place is a positive. For me Kusher wins hands down. So go, look around and get some awesome stuff.

    Hot fresh bread made daily from scratch for reasonable prices. What more do you need? Oh yeah…read morepastries. !
