Even when they are busy I typically do not wait long to get my coffee. If you are looking for a great coffee shop head to Curran. Since they have opened up the seating in the Spar it makes going there so much better. Great ambiance.

The cutest corner coffee shop!…read more Curran Coffee felt like a place straight out of a storybook. It was the coziest spot with the friendliest baristas! There was plenty of seating inside and out. You also get a nice view of the water just around the corner. A dream! I was recommend Magic Hour which was a former house special not currently on the menu. It featured notes of coconut and toffee- soooo yums!

We went on Valentine's Day and they had heart shaped straws, that my wife will likely re use! They are a pretty solid plastic and don't feel disposable. My coffee was originally made with regular milk which I can't drink, but my better half can. So, they just gave her the "mistake one" and made Mine with oat milk as ordered. Efficient and clean stand. I would easily go here again.

Finally I did give it a try. I was not disappointed at all! I enjoyed my order. I got a good Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk and a Cuban Sandwich. The sandwich was good and enjoyable. Absolutely no complaints. This coffee shop is a drive up only so you can't sit down here and eat or drink with what you order so you need to take it elsewhere or sit in your car in order to enjoy it.

Stop in for coffee and breakfast Sammy or grab a sando and soda after lunch. Either way, this is a perfect multipurpose spot. Parking isn't bad, but it's a paid lot. Like $3.50 an hour which isn't bad at all. Long story long, I stopped in for a breakfast sandwich and to get some homework done. I needed the free WiFi and I was not disappointed. The breakfast sandwiches are so good! Fresh cooked eggs and biscuits. The biscuits are so flaky and light and good!! The bottom is soft, but the tops have a crisp to them. I got the sausage egg and cheese. The egg was cooked perfectly, biscuit was superior to a lot of biscuits I've had in restaurants and the gochujang aioli on top was the perfect compliment!! It wasn't spicy, but still added so much flavor. I had a special soda made by Marisa with lime, mint, lychee and soda water. Very simple, but very satisfying and not overly sweet. The chairs are comfortable and there's ample seating. The booths have outlets at each table area which makes it super convenient for laptops and chargers. The crowd is mixed. Young and older people mill about. People were having meetings, chatting with friends and working just like me. It's not sketchy and felt totally safe. 10/10 recommend.

The iced brown sugar latte is my favorite w/ oatmilk and cinnamon on top. Their roast is a little harsher than I usually prefer but the flavors usually balance it out. The caramel bruleè crunch is also good, I just cut the flavors in half for less sugar.

The ladies working that morning must have been short staffed or they must have been training. Had service been better we would have extended grace with the long wait. Coffee was good.

We got a dirty chai and hot chocolate for drinks- hot chocolate was pretty but nothing special about it (spoiled by our hot chocolate at cadoon which had a hint of caramel and licorice which was crazy good and we are not even licorice fans!). 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!

As someone who has had boba across several states, Tacoma generally doesn't really have the best…read moreboba options, so Bobalust is definitely an anomaly. I'd even go as far to say that it's the best boba spot in the Tacoma area. They have smoothie, slushies, tea, milk tea, and etc. The drinks are quite filling, so I usually have no room for food! (Cost): $8.27 + tip (Location): The shop itself is on the smaller end, with a few tables inside for seating. It's located in a very busy shopping area-- a little bit down the street from Tacoma Mall. It gets insanely busy during the weekend, so plan your trip accordingly. The good thing is that there is a lot of parking. (Service): I have been here quite a bit and the employees have always been pleasant to interact with. I literally cannot recall a time where I had a bad experience, and the drink was made in less than 5 minutes. I don't know if it's ran by the same people, but I went to a Bobalust near Tukwila that also had excellent service. (Food): Summer Saas (5/5)-- a fruit tea drink with peach pieces in it. I also added in some black boba. I usually stick to the Orange Dreamsicle, but I decided to try something new and I am so glad that I did. This drink was amazing-- not too sweet but also not too tart. I will definitely order it again. Orange Dreamsicle (5/5)-- a smoothie type drink made with vanilla and orange. Also has fruity jelly pieces at the bottom. An excellent drink that reminds me of those old school orange cream soda floats made with ice cream.
