I haven't been back in about a year, but with the weather getting a tad colder, a morning matcha…read morewith a view sounded perfect. I went with the strawberry matcha latte, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The matcha was smooth and creamy, and the strawberry added just enough sweetness without making the drink overly sweet or taking away from the matcha itself. I especially enjoyed the combination of the two and would definitely come back to try more of their flavored matcha drinks. The location is also a huge plus. Being right above the parking garage at Ruston Way makes it an easy stop before or after a walk along the waterfront, and you really can't complain about having a view with your morning matcha. I happened to be their first customer of the morning, and between the drink, the quiet atmosphere, and the view, it was such a nice way to start my day. Glad I finally made my way back.

Belly Smoothie Co. is not your average smoothie spot - this is wellness, luxury, and flavor all in…read moreone cup I tried the Blue Belly smoothie and I'm still thinking about it. The taste is insanely smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. You can tell immediately this is made with high quality ingredients. What really sold me is that it's not just good, it's functional and packed with collagen and vitamin D3, so you're literally sipping on a glow up. Yes, it's on the pricier side but this is one of those "you get what you pay for" moments. No artificial taste, no shortcuts just clean, intentional ingredients that you can actually taste. The whole vibe feels elevated and health-forward without being intimidating. If you care about what you're putting in your body but still want it to taste amazing, this place delivers. They also serve energy drinks, coffee and matcha so l will absolutely be back to try more! Worth every dollar. Period.

John helped me and recommended an amazing smoothie bowl. I watched them juice fresh fruits and veggies to make the smoothie base for my bowl, which I honestly didn't expect and really appreciated.

I came in ready to spend money, but was met with poor attitudes and staff who clearly didn't want to be there. How are you a smoothie spot out of bananas at 11am? And worse, why am I only finding that out after I place my order? Given I called ahead of time asking about the smoothie bowls being in stock, given their website said everything was out. There's too much potential in our community to let businesses fall short on the basics. If you're going to charge high prices, train your team, keep your inventory stocked, and lead with hospitality. Because right now, it feels like we're paying extra just to be disappointed. Nonetheless, the smoothie bowls were fresh, tasted good, but I won't be returning given the poor customer service. You would have to pay those girls to smile. Smh

The concept of this place is great, but it still needs some work. The café was so loud, with the…read moremusic turned up so high, that I couldn't hear what my husband wanted to order. It seemed like the employees enjoyed the loud music and were not very mindful of the guests. I asked for it to be turned down, but it was only lowered slightly. We were also the only table eating in at the time. The açaí bowl was overly sweet and frozen on the bottom. I would prefer no added sugar beyond the honey listed in the description, but it tasted like there was added sugar in the fruit or base. I do not think this place is very healthy as I suspect very high added sugar content. The Mediterranean bread was good, but the garlic artichoke bread was very salty. I also ordered a blue lavender drink and was disappointed. The lavender was too strong and the drink did not taste balanced. Overall, I like the idea of this place, but the food, drinks, and atmosphere need improvement. It was also expensive for what we got -- almost $64 with tip for two orders of bread, two drinks, and one açaí bowl. We likely won't be returning.

Black Bear Frozen Yogurt is located in the Tacoma Place Plaza in the south end area of Tacoma…read more There are other items sold at Black Bear Frozen Yogurt, which I didn't know until I came in, like coffee, tea, and sandwiches. This was my first time ever stepping foot and eating in Black Bear Frozen Yogurt. This is quite shocking as from what I know, Black Bear Frozen Yogurt has been around for a long time. There were 12 flavors to choose from, as well as sample! We decided to swirl the Ube/Taro Coconut with one other flavor that I can't recall right now. We added a couple of animal crackers and strawberry popping boba. It's about 70¢ per ounce per cup of frozen yogurt. The total was around $14. It seems quite cozy and welcoming inside. There are board games inside for customers to play with their friends and family.
