Randomly found this place as we were setting out on our drive from Seattle to Portland. So glad we…read moredid because this was exactly what we needed! We got a hot white chocolate mocha, an iced caramel macchiato and an iced sugar free mocha. Each one was SO good. Perfect balance of espresso, not overly sweet and huge sizes when you need that boost! We also got a coffee cake which was delicious! The girls were so sweet and helpful. Highly recommend stopping if you're in the area!

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. The Lacey location has a tight knit barista fam with a great sense of community and used to host markets in the HUB.

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.

Every cup of coffee that has been sipped from Beware has been a delight. I like to view myself as…read moresome sort of coffee connoisseur and I can 100% say that this place takes pride in what they do. The wait is a little long and I feel that is because they take their time with each cup they make. Seating is scarce so if you plan to enjoy your cup inside, do come in when they open because it fills up really quick. My only recommendation if they look into the reviews is to remove the center table and put 2 more 2 seater tables if it still allows within capacity. Never change. Your coffee is great.

The worst customer service ever! Was in the area and saw a small stand thought OK I will support…read morethe small stand instead of Starbucks. Pulled up to the window and noticed there was only one little sign that showed what they had to serve. It was so small I could barely read it and I looked around and said hi what kind of specials do you have today or do you have pictures of the coffees you have or suggestions? She looked at me odd and said no we are not Dutch brothers! And I said oh normally there's pictures and or specials of the day with suggestions I just didn't know what I wanted so I was looking for some ideas. she said you're at the wrong place and you should probably leave. And I said I was just asking because I didn't see anything on the outside of your stand? And she said no you should leave and I said are you joking I was just asking what you had and she said get the fuck out of here! I was a palled at the woman's customer service! No wonder there is no line around her building and she has no customers and poor reviews!

I pulled in just wanting a quick coffee and usually the little shops make good coffee. I pulled up to the first window and she had so much stuff in front of it I thought she was closed. I drove around to the other side and looked in she was standing in the corner. ‍ She comes to the window And goes. Um that's weird I work out of both sides. Mind you in a rude condescending voice. Like I'm the idiot about to pay this rude as beach. I hold in my inner bitch and give her a chance. I ordered my drink which she then tells me she doesn't have that size. Oh ok it's clearly on your menu but ok. Basically this lady's business skills or lack of make it more of headache to go here. First and last visit. Good luck to her and your horrible business attitude. OH AND THE COFFE TASTE LIKE CRAP TOO.

At this point Common Ground basically feels like my second home…read more There's a difference between a coffee shop you like and one that becomes part of your routine, and this is absolutely the latter for me. 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.

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!

My scone was flaky and light, not overly dense and had just the right amount of icing. They have a nice selection of baked goods as well as some deli items if you're looking for a meal. The atmosphere was really cool- the coffee shop has two other buildings to choose from to enjoy your coffee and conversations. Inside the main building, there's a fireplace and garage doors that can open up to flow into the outdoor seating area. One of the other buildings actually has an encased "treehouse" you can choose to use (so cool!!!). The service was attentive, and the employees were really friendly and helpful.

I got the stairway to heaven coffee flight (cold brew, latte, caramel macchiatto, and another drink I forget) and everything was pretty bad. Cold brew was inoffensive but watery and everything else was very bland and watered down. Looking at the rest of the specialty coffee drink menu it was all super sweet desserty white chocolate drinks similar to what you'd find at all the terrible drive-thru coffee stalls you find everywhere in Seattle. Food looked like it might be better but not the place to go for coffee.

Corina did an amazing job with our wedding cakes. I'm gluten free/vegan and their cake was by far…read morethe best we tried. The cutting cake was so beautiful - literally the cake of my dreams and prettier than any Pinterest photo. We ordered the V GF orange cake with Bavarian cream. I ate 3 pieces the night of our wedding!!! Seriously the best cake we've ever had. We also ordered 3 sheet cakes of the regular (non vegan/gf) chocolate, white, and lemon. The cake was almost gone by the end of the night and we had multiple guests ask where it was from because of how good it was. The tasting experience was fun and the staff were very nice/helpful with recommendations and questions. Thank you Corina for my dream wedding cake

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.

I had money to spend on this account but decided I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of bullying me. Ill never return and you can kick rocks Starbucks. The unmitigated gall of someone barely making minimum wage being super snooty and rude is absolutely diabolical.

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.
