    Iced white caramel bliss, so good!
    Mickenzee R.

    This coffee shop is so cozy! We wanted to find a coffee shop to go get a drink and just relax. They have lots of seating options here so this is definitely a great place to come and relax. They have lots of drink options! We decided to try the white caramel bliss, iced. This was an espresso with white chocolate and caramel. The flavor was perfect! Not super sweet but sweet enough that it hit right. I will say that I feel like the prices for their drinks are a little high, we paid almost $10 for one 24oz drink. The employee who took our order was very friendly and our drink tasted great.

    I had been driving out of my way (the Bonney Lake location is not convenient for most commuters & I live/work here) to visit in the mornings. However when my work schedule shifted to 30 minutes earlier, I would go at 6:30am and almost every morning they weren't open yet (hours are 6:30). I went today after going to other stands that were more convenient - and honestly a drive-up is so much better in the cold. However, the owner changed the shape of their punches and doesn't honor their punch cards any longer. I had one full & another 3/4 full that are just garbage now. Honestly a free drink every 10 visits isn't a deal breaker so much as the lack of consistent opening & inconvenient location. Put them all together and it's going to be a pass from me now.

    Was drawn in by the outside photos of these bagels. I've never been here. Looked like they were made in house and fresh. Turns out they are little flat frozen gmo bagels that are premade and heated in a microwave. Very expensive. The Smoothie sign is misleading too, I thought I could get a healthy green smoothie for breakfast too. :(

    Great coffee and cool magnets

    Walked a block from our sweet Airbnb to find this gem-inside had an artsy eclectic vibe with theater seating and adorable bottle top magnets made by the owner. Friendly service and delicious drip for our trip back to SeaTac.

    Eclectic new addition to the 6th Ave strip- I love the local feel. There's not a ton of seating but it is a small space in general. They have food, smoothies, and of course coffee. They have monthly specials that correspond with holidays, etc. I had a toffee nut oat milk latte- great choice!

    My coffee flight it's soo good!!
    Heather B.

    The drinks are sooo good! The service is amazing the ladies were so nice! The coffee taste good it's not burnt taste. Great small coffee shop. The only downfall is parking is hard to find.

    I love this coffee stand! I've been by several times, and have always enjoyed friendly service and a yummy drink. I highly recommend. They have both walk in and drive thru options. The drive thru is definitely faster. Gets a punch card!

    Super cute inside
    Kirsten B.

    Visited the Bonney Lake location this afternoon! The girls were so helpful, went over specials, the punch card, talked about how everything is local. And great coffee!! Love small local coffee places and was so cozy inside too.

    Menu- breakfast sandwiches

    Always so nice here and cozy. Lots of options for drinks. Sandwiches aren't bad- satisfying

    Coffee flight.

    The coffee is very good and the staff is top notch. Snacks are more hit or miss. I think they bring them in from elsewhere.

    After trying several of their baked goods at local coffeeshops in Tacoma area, I discovered an…read moreopportunity from social media that they were having a pop up at their own brick and mortar baking kitchen, with collab with local coffee, Civic Roasters, a few months back. I know they do not have regular open hours for just walk in purchase, but rather, they're custom order type business, but I have yet to place any custom orders so I cannot speak to that experience. What made me write this review is how accurate the owner (Brianne) described cake and desserts in the description and the baked goods taste matched 200% of the description. The pistachio cake was out of the world, so was the whoopie pie!!! I got to meet Brianne in person and she was very friendly, and was kind to explain everything about each of her baked goods she had out that day. I've tried their baked goods from pop tarts to cookies to housemade Twinkie and the creation and taste are unmatched. Single serve baked goods were more on pricier side, but well worth every bite. I would definitely order custom baked goods from here, knowing the quality and taste of products from this shop!!! Currently, you can find Spilled Butter baked goods at Cosmonaut coffee, Outer Dark Coffee, and at Tacoma Farmers Market (also known as Tacoma Broadway Farmers Market) from time to time. Enjoy!!!

    A coworker had recommended this place, and I decided to go along with him during breakfast hours…read more We luckily got here when it was not busy, as he has told me that it can get quite busy here. The service was pretty quick. Ambiance was appealing with many baked items and a very nice aroma that got my Ghrelin levels going! They have many different savory and sweet options. I ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches which came with sausage, muffin, and eggs. OH MY GOD. This was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have tried in a while. Absolutely amazing. I am lucky that I don't live right by this place, otherwise I would spend all of my money here. I also got a sausage quiche which was not bad, but I wish I had tried some of their croissants. The croissants were placed around the corner of where I ordered, so I had not seen them. Had I seen the croissants, I would have ordered them and devoured them. I am definitely coming back to this place and HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

    I always pass by this shop, so today I finally decided to come in and give it a proper try…read more Ambiance: It's definitely very inviting. 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.

    We were looking for a bakery to get good whole grain bread. You know the homemade bread with 12…read moregrains and good rye, that is better than the institutionalized bread. So as my go to guide I yelped it! And up popped Kusher Bakery. You know I had to go and today we went there. It's an Eastern European bakery, and grocery store with products from multiple Eastern Europe countries. The selections are very good and then there is the bread baked daily except on Sunday. A bonus is the fact all the fresh baked bread can be sliced for you or you can take it home and slice it yourself. Having this service is great. Dark rye, 12-grain, and others that are....... well too many and all looked delicious. There is fresh baked Lavash, soft and delicious and many of the breads were still warm and fresh. The fresh piroshki! Awesome to say the least, Chicken, Cheese, Cabbage, and Apricot were available and hot. Look you can go to the other market on 70th and get very good stuff and pay quite a lot more, or go to Kusher and get a better selection and pay reasonable prices. Yes it is smaller but bigger is not always better and having this small place is a positive. For me Kusher wins hands down. So go, look around and get some awesome stuff.

    Hot fresh bread made daily from scratch for reasonable prices. What more do you need? Oh yeah…read morepastries. !
