Mary Mary&#x27;s Cafe

Cowgirl's Coffee is about 2 miles from my home, and I can't believe I've only been there a measly 4…read moreto 5 times over the years. But I should warn you. I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I prefer hot tea with a drop of lemon and honey combination, which Cowgirl's has plenty of options for. That's what drew me to their place. Since it's not too close to Tacoma, it doesn't seem to be very crowded, especially during the times I've gone. Of my five visits, I've only had to wait about 5 to 10 minutes once. Overall, I find their servers to be fast and friendly. In the past, I've had their hot coffees, particularly lattes, a couple of times. They were all exceptional, but most recently, I've tried their signature drinks from the Red Bull Bomb - Lotus Energy menu. For me, it was the Wild Flower flavor. I can't even lie; this drink exceeded my expectations. Second disclaimer: I'm not necessarily a Red Bull person, but it was very subtle thanks to the refreshing flavors of lavender, blackberry, and blue lotus. I finished the drink within the record time of 10 seconds. I don't know if it was because I was thirsty or if it was just that great, but I chose to believe it was the latter. It's definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the Spanaway area.

We came in at a good time as there were two tables with two chairs available so we were immediately seated and given waters and menus. The staff here are great about checking in often and being pleasant. The bathroom here is clean and they even have a changing station inside. The restaurant is clean and the staff come to refill or grab dirty plates quite often. My boyfriend got the lavender latte and two eggs and sausages while I got the smoked honey ham eggs benedict and a rose lemonade. I forgot that the specialty lemonades are not free refill but they do give you a lot. The lavender latte was soothing and the rose lemonade was light. The food came not too long after and the portions here are huge. My boyfriend's order came with a side of blackberry jam that was fantastic. I believe it is housemade and I need to see if they sell it because it is some of the best jams ever. Even has actual pieces of blackberry!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Mary Mary's Cafe and it was an absolute delight. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere. Stephanie, our wonderful waitress, truly went above and beyond to ensure our experience was great. Stephanie's was attentive, knowledgeable, and displayed a genuine passion for her job. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to accommodate our requests made us feel welcomed and valued as customers. Stephanie's attentiveness throughout the meal ensured that we never felt neglected or rushed, allowing us to relax and enjoy our dining experience to the fullest. One aspect that truly impressed us was the generous portion sizes. Whether it was their classic chicken fried steak and eggs or their veggie omelet and French toast, every bite was a delightful explosion of taste. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the great service we received. In addition to Stephanie's excellent service, the overall atmosphere of the diner was welcoming and nostalgic. Overall, my experience at Mary's was outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying meal in a friendly, welcoming setting. Stephanie's attentive service, the generous portions, and the remarkable affordability make this diner a true gem. I can't wait to visit again and indulge in more of their delectable dishes. Thank you again!! :) will absolutely stop by if we're in town again!! read more
