Simple and great. Their Spanish Latte was RIGHT up my alley - I got it half sweetened and it was delicious! I really dislike when my drinks are too sweet/sugary, and this had a beautiful balance between both. I also got a berry-type scone, scone was good but the latte was where it was at. I'm on a quest to find the 'best coffee' spot in Tacoma. Please check out my Yelp for other reviews on coffee shops in the area. This is a place I would most likely go to again, a short menu but packed with quality. read more

I ordered a hazelnut latte with almond milk, but unfortunately it tasted really watered down and lacked flavor(in terms of the espresso and syrup).

This place deserves to be highlighted, Tacoma for some reason isn't that great with cafes IMHO, happy to get few suggestions on places. Went here as I had a doc appointment nearby and liked this cute coffee shop, decided to hangout and finish my assignments Baristas were warm and ordering was easy peasy, cafe felt quiet and music wasn't loud too, so working was easy as well. I got Vanilla Latte and it was good, coffee was smooth and I enjoyed my cuppa. Do visit this cafe if you're in Tacoma area. read more

A nice and quiet coffee shop in town. Good amount of tables and chairs so you can work or just hangout with friends. I ordered their latte, tasted decent but their foam is too rough imo. Just by looking at it, you can tell that's overly frothed with more than microfoam which was supposed to make your coffee smooth and sweet. Latte art is kind of there but could be better but I also understand it is a nice-to-have and it doesn't affect the taste. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Visited on a Saturday afternoon and found it pretty quiet, possibly during a lull.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the ambiance and style of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service was kind and informative, explained what a Spanish coffee was and made sure our order was specific to any dietary needs. We ordered a Spanish coffee, vanilla latte, and strawberry pop tart, both pleasantly surprised by the temperature and taste of it all. Vanilla favoring was perfect, not too overwhelming and temperature was perfect (hot enough and ideal for sipping). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Coffee shop featured local artwork and had lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was some construction in front of the building, so we had to park around the block.

In my recent trip to Tacoma my husband and I Googled to see which coffee shop to try. We found Manifesto and we are so glad we tried it. We loved their coffee; compared to other cafes Manifesto's coffee tasted stronger, but it was very smooth. The service was friendly; the seatings were all taken, but it was a bit stuffy inside. Thankfully, there were few seatings outside so we sat outside and enjoyed our drinks. It was so neat to see the feather latte art still keeping the shape even when the latte was almost gone read more

Super cute local coffee shop. They have a handful of vegan gluten free goodies! I was stoked for that. The smell when you walk in is soooo good. You can tell right away that the coffee is going to be good. The menu is quite small, and direct, but I love it. Makes it easier to decide what to get. I get overwhelmed by options sometimes haha. I ordered a cappuccino with hemp milk (they don't have almond). The latte art (irrelevant to me) was cute but not wow. My friend ordered a cortado which looked great. They have a huge community table that has outlets, score! Also a couple Smaller tables. It's very peaceful and warm inside. I could easily spend the day working there. Give it a try. :) read more

Cool spot, and on the day I visited the sun was out and there were some bistro tables out front. It looked like a cool space inside as well. The guy pulling shots was friendly and talked to us about their coffee. He said their house blend was most papau new guinea year round which I have a hard time believing, but at least the shots we had during our visit tasted decent. The coffee 'bar' for me is pretty high, and I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if I was in the area it's not a bad choice- especially if I was studying or meeting up with a friend. read more

What's nearby? Turns out Manifesto Coffee was nearby and had a GREAT rating on Yelp. We were heading to Stadium High School to show our daughter where they filmed "10 Things I Hate about You" and found this was close enough to make a quick detour and try it out. The space is pretty small and the location seemed to not be in the most prime part of town. But when you can get coffee this good, of the other stuff takes a back seat. They pretty much just have coffee options right now. I took just a quick nip of my wife's double espresso and ordered up a chocolate steamer for myself and my daughter got a sweet and tasty almond steamer. The bit of coffee I sipped was great and something to go back for. The staff was friendly while they were busy doing the business of the day. If I lived here Manifesto would easily be a regular haunt. The prices are right in line with any quality coffee place and worth every penny. read more

I think I have a problem. OK, maybe not a PROBLEM but I definitely have a craving that's developing into a full blown addiction... Bopping around the Hilltop area, I finally made it into Manifesto Coffee a few months ago and have been back regularly. It's more than the cool artwork in the bathrooms (rock oriented, Frazetta, etc.) and more than the VERY helpful, warm, engaging coffee sherpas behind the counter. For me, it's summed up in three little words: Spicy Cola Syrup. What's that, you say? You haven't heard of this before? Well, lemme help open your eyes as the Manifesto folks did for me. They have an excellent cold brew there...smooth but robust with amazing flavor notes. But even that level of deliciousness is taken to new heights by having them add a shot of their housemade Spicy Cola Syrup. At first taste, I knew I had a new favorite and something that I'd never experienced before. The spicy flavors added to the coffee taste were an ideal marriage. Unfortunately, I like it SO much that I've been back often...even twice in one day! Not that I'm complaining but people are starting to talk. :-) If you haven't been before, go check out Manifesto Coffee and try the SCS in cold brew. If you have been before, KEEP going to Manifesto so I can be sure they stay around to feed my habit. read more

My friend and I are former part-time baristas, and we always love evaluating the microfoam of different coffee shops. The latte here is like drinking a cloud, and it's wonderful! I also came on a separate occasion for an iced vanilla oat milk latte, and the espresso is delicious here. The nuances of flavor and the acidity (in a bright good way) was pronounced! It's not in the safest area and not a ton of outlets if you're working on stuff, but I highly recommend trying out their coffee! read more

My significantly better half drives in the area a fair amount, so when she saw a new coffee place open she said we had to check it out--and check it out we did. Cozy little place, just enough seating for a decently sized handful of people. Not sure why others have complained that there isn't enough space. Valhalla only has a few seats, but it works. I'm a huge latte fan/snob. We got a latte and cappucino. The cappucino was very nice--roasty, chocolatey without being burnt/bitter/acrid. My latte was just OK. The milk to coffee ratio was heavily out of whack towards the milk end--I got very little espresso flavor, and just a TON of milk..which is a shame because I think they're doing espresso well here. Way way too much milk. Overall I'd rate the espresso being poured here as just a hair behind the Tacoma espresso kings of Valhalla, Bluebeard, and Metronome. Manifesto is close and I certainly hope they get there. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out. You could do FAR worse than getting an espresso drink from here! read more

Honestly nothing special. Coffee tastes good but super simple menu. Doesn't offer anything special or anything that makes it stand out from other local coffee shops. Atmosphere wasn't super cozy but there were some cool design aspects, however during Covid I understand the atmosphere can't be anything outstanding. At the end of the day it's just another coffee shop but that's all it has to offer. Menu just has the basics and they don't even have cream for the coffee. I'd rather save myself the money and make my own cold brew at home personally. read more

Incredible roasts, great pourover, friendly staff, what's not to love?…read more Most recent visit to Outer Dark I got my first anaerobic pourover: the pink bourbon, very sweet and vivid. It was a very nice smooth cup, an excellent introduction to anaerobics, which I'd never tried before. I also got a couple different bags to take home. The In Bloom, which is the spring seasonal, impressed me by its consistency across multiple years, which is not always achievable in a seasonal. The subtle effervescent quality, the jasmine and honeysuckle, are just what I remember from last year. But the real reason I am writing this review is the Vivanco anaerobic, which I am drinking right now. I've done it as a v60 pourover (4:6, coffee nerds, with emphasis on the first two pours) and I think this is the best cup I've ever had. First, the aroma is *so cocoa nib adjacent* that if you blindfolded me I could have been convinced I was making brewing cocoa. And the first sip *tastes like* brewing cocoa, but then intense juicy cherry and orange zest come out, and then as it cools further I get the warm baked-good brownie notes. This coffee just goes *so well with itself*. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bag. Before I buy it all.

I love that I can order my beans for pick-up at their headquarters or have it delivered to my doorstep and no in-store beans will ever be able to compare to Dillanos! I highly recommend you stop by one day just to check it out. See some of the amazing flavors of beans, check out their syrups and try a cup of hot coffee. Give this local coffee roaster a try, you won't be disappointed!

Recco's: Pour over, Nitro cold brew if they have that on tap, and baked goods by Three Hearts Bakery Cons: Service is a hit or miss at this new location. Being on STW (that is short for South Tacoma Way), I think this location has huge potential for attracting non-locals compared to their 6th Ave location (already established local reputation with regulars), hopefully they staff up to create more flexibility because a lot of times they're backed up on orders especially early mornings due to several crowd rolling in from Howdy Bagel across the street, they're also a bit stoic when it comes to simple greetings. Cortado is one of my favorite coffee drinks but I will not order from this location, today I ordered it with almond milk (which, for cortado of less than 4oz, the portion of milk is not very much but I paid a kidney for it, its my fault) it was $6.07. The barista did provide a tip for next time if I'm looking for a more fuller 8oz drink, I can go for a Flat White. I visit both of their locations fairly regularly and do appreciate this STW location that is closer to me. Parking is on street and has never given any problem finding a spot nearby. Great offerings of seasonal coffee drinks, and I enjoy coming here very early before the crowd hits.

YESSS!! This is THE place for Vietnamese food! They are indeed authentic!…read more I have been missing the smell and taste of staple Vietnamese dishes ever since I moved out of California a few months ago. I used to receive Mom's vietnamese home cooking frequently and I lived near the Asian hubbubs with easy access to all the cuisine, but now I have to discover new places here in Washington to satiate my taste buds. Everything I've tried so far has been good. I've been content. But here!! I ordered takeout through Doordash, and as soon as I picked up my food, an aroma of so many flavors filled up my car. Parking is kinda annoying since it's on the street but I arrived within 30 mins of opening hours so it wasn't terrible yet. The restaurant already had at least a table or so, with customers, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got busier later. There's a fair amount of space and tables for hungry stomachs! The food was about ready by the time I arrived, and the 30 min drive home left me feeling famished and ready to dig in. Thankfully, I was not disappointed. Everything was packaged well so that nothing spilled during the car ride, and everything was so yummy! I ordered more than I originally intended... I was craving com tam (broken rice) and couldn't find a satisfactory place near my residence, so I drove all the way here to Tacoma.. and then I figured, I might as well order their Banh Xeo too! The photos online made it look so good, and it ended up tasting amazing! Slightly crispy and stuffed just enough with bean sprouts, meat, and other goodies. Perfect after drizzling some of the sauce over it. The Com Tam was also made well, and definitely hit my cravings with its classic ingredients. I ordered a Large Pho Bo Vien (meatball) for my son, and was sooo tempted to eat some myself. The broth smelled fresh and the noodles were cooked nicely. Decent portions for everything, too. I definitely need to return to try out more of their food. So far, it has made me one happy Viet gal :)

I digress. The dirty chai was unique though and tasty. The stars for us was the food! We got the huevos rancheros and the savory egg sandwich. Both were delicious! Best HR we've ever had probably due to the crema and red sauce. Egg sandwich had unique flavors with the onion jam and the toasted roll was so perfect with the egg and arugula. Very well balanced. I usually never eat all the bread bc not worth the carbs but couldn't resist finishing this masterpiece. All the pastries were very good too! Just needed an option to warm up the orange cardamom morning bun to make it warm and crispy but the flavors were amazing. Also loved the brown butter blueberry muffin. Only disappointment was the ube ginger muffin wasnt fully cooked - tasted great for the parts that were. Wish we had one near us on east coast!

Coffee? , Yes please Street parking only BUT well worth it with clean restrooms and an old fashioned coffee roaster that grinds up to 16 lbs! Nice and clean inside a cool place to enjoy with the friend or in my case with my child who is now a young adult going to school and working and enjoying their first apartment this is where we went to chill and have our adult conversation. There are little people stores.... Let me clarify that they're short stools that have you sitting a little lower to the ground there are also high bar stool available to sit at as well. I say little people stools because I'm starting to notice more people visiting coffee shops with their children and the children are ordering as well, cute. I love when community coffee shops also support the community by having a community board along with that comes local artist artwork and I happen to snap a picture of a female artist WOMENS WIDSOM PROJECT I ordered a caramel macchiato full of flavor bold and rich made by barista Justin, my son had his first mocha made with real cocoa and milk, but the milk did not drown out the coffee and the cocoa flavor not too sweet. Marsee baking company are the pastries this coffee shop keeps in stock I ordered a lemon muffin the muffin was moist with just enough icing and good lemon flavor my son ordered a brownie but I can't tell you too much about it. This is a new favorite when in Tacoma read more

I always appreciate when a coffee shop serves drinks in real glasses/mugs, which they do here. The service was fast and the employee I spoke to was very nice. My only complaints are the parking lot and that, like most coffee places, it's a little expensive. The parking lot is truly miserable to park in. Super tight and precarious, and my car is a pretty averaged size SUV. You're better off street parking on the busy road it's on and walking. There's seating inside, but not tons. Limited options on a Friday morning that I went. Other than these (admittedly small) complaints, this is a nice coffee shop and I'd definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area. Always nice to support a local place over the big chains.
