    One of the last spots we took our sweet pup. Outside seating is so nice!

    Third Space always hits the spot. There's nothing like their biscuits. They have that perfect, flaky, savory flavor. I usually get a sausage breakfast sammy because the gochujang aioli is perfection, but sometimes I'll just get a biscuit! It's that good. The staff are always so warm and friendly, no snobby cold shoulder vibes at this spot. Highly recommend!

    Kimchi cheesesteak

    Food was delicious. Cafe was clean and welcoming. Outlets were available. Free WiFi worked well. Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Bathrooms were clean! Great study spot.

    I was visiting Tacoma and I came across this coffee shop. I will say that the inside was very and clean. A great place to study or work from remotely. It also has outside seating if you prefer to be outside. The pastries I tried the churro croissant and wow! It was amazing. The coffee I had a banana latte iced and it was ok, to me I felt like that coffee needs to be a little bit stronger but overall good. The staff was kinda friendly, maybe because I arrived 30 min before closing she seemed a little moody when I asked questions specially when it was my first time visiting. But overall good place to visit if you as in Tacoma.

    Cardamom chai
    Maggie L.

    I was disappointed none of the seasonal lattes I saw on IG was available. I opted for a hot Cardamom Chai. It's a good and strong Chai - cardamom forward, and spicy from ginger. My friend ordered a Breakfast Sandwich Special, which is a biscuit sandwich with sweet potato spread, fried egg, bacon kimchi - she said it's delicious and filling.

    Such a gem in the Tacoma area for a breakfast and cafe spot. The navy blue urban and minimalist ambiance is a perfect environment to study or catch up with friends in. I enjoyed grabbing a bite of their BEC sandwiches and Kimchi Cheesesteaks. Their cardamom chai is also DEFINITELY a must-try as an avid chai latte addict. Their series on TikTok and Instagram on opening up their business is also really inspiring and heartwarming to watch, so I would also recommend checking those out. :)

    Strawberry Agua Fresca, Cortado, sparkling water (traditional side for the Cortado)

    Stopped by Third Space on a day trip to Tacoma and it was a nice, peaceful respite to our day. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the space is a comfortable, well-lit place. We especially liked sitting in the little couch by the front window. My hubs had a Cortado that came with the traditional side of sparkling water and I had the strawberry agua fresca. Everything was delicious and refreshing. Last but not least, they have a clean, all-gender bathroom in the back hallway. Next time we're in Tacoma, we will visit again!

    Love this new cafe in Tacoma! After trying it out for the first time about a month ago, I've been back 2 more times. While it's paid street parking only, finding parking hasn't been an issue and it's relatively inexpensive compared to Seattle. The space is modern and well decorated, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. As a non-coffee drinker, I've tried the blueberry milk, mango-yuzu, and strawberry agua fresa and they were all delicious. My boyfriend loves their creative coffees. We've also gotten the BEC on multiple occasions because it's delicious. Super crispy bacon in between a buttery flaky biscuit. I generally don't like biscuits because I find them dry, but Third Space changed my mind. We ordered the kimchi cheesesteak last time and it was equally delicious in a different way. I also tried the raspberry cruffin which was nice and crisp on the outside but soft and flaky on the inside. Of note, the pastries are from Lobo Bakery. Overall, 5 stars for everything done so well. Third Space is a new favorite and we will definitely be back.

    So good!!! The combination of Hot Mama breakfast sandwich and the Maple Sea Salt Latte with almond milk was legit an explosion in my mouth! The flavor was so good! The service was super friendly and very helpful to decide what to order. The ambiance is a vibe. Is a great size space, clean and simple. I highly recommend. Today was my first time and I will definitely be back!

    BEU so good

    First time visiting will definitely be back. The space is clean and welcoming. We came for a quick birthday breakfast before taking my sister to the airport. Ordering was easy and friendly interaction with everyone. The coffee beverages were delicious and the breakfast sandwiches were ordered were amazing full of flavor cheese was melted biscuits were great a crisp outside and soft in the center.

    Came here for breakfast and coffee and left wanting to come back! Ducha. Cute spot in downtown Tacoma. The owners have done a nice job making a welcoming and cozy space for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. I had the Hot Mama breakfast sandwich and the Cardamom Chai. The sandwich was the right level of spice with a perfectly cooked, egg, bacon, cheese, and arugula as well as sweet Calabrian peppers and a chili aioli on a deliciously flaky fresh made biscuit. The chai was also delicious and the cardamom was the perfect addition. We will definitely be back!

    Visited again after a few months! Still great tasting food & drinks. Always greeted by kind & friendly staff! Lots of seating & outlets for guests visiting/staying to work and study. A very very cute and amazing cafe addition to Tacoma!

    Super cute new spot in Tacoma--fresh, welcoming, and the kind of place where the staff make you feel like a regular on your first visit. Everyone I chatted with was genuinely friendly, and you can tell they care about doing things in-house; the space has that tidy, thoughtful feel. I went for coffee (I usually like it very strong), and today's cup was smooth and easy to drink. For my taste, I'd bump the intensity next time--an extra shot or a darker roast option would hit the mark--but if you prefer a gentler cup, you'll probably love it. The pastry case looked tempting and they do sandwiches to order, but I wasn't hungry this round. I'm already eyeing a return visit to explore the espresso drinks and grab a hot sandwich or pastry. Small suggestion: highlight a "bold" or "strong" coffee option on the board so people like me know exactly what to ask for. Friendly team, cozy vibe--looking forward to coming back and trying more.

    Delicious Raspberry and Hibiscus pastry!
    Alden C.

    Downtown Tacoma really needed a place like this. Especially for the lunch crowd. I was at the end of my rope with trying to treat myself during the work week to eat out during my lunch break. I used to go to other restaurants that worked with the lunch crowd and after getting poor food quality (as in mold in my food) and online orders that seemed to always be inaccurate there seemed few options and diversity left for lunch. I have a pretty heavy tolerance for mistakes involving orders and customer service so it has to be pretty bad in order for me to walk away. So this is definitely a breathe of fresh air. I knew Third Space was doing a soft opening which often means it isn't quite fully operational yet so I waited a few weeks until they were. I got a wonderful Caprese type sandwich (sorry, the exact name of the sandwich I can't recall but it also had meat in it) with some pesto sauce that was absolutely wonderful. I also got a pastry which was Raspberry and Hibiscus flavored that was wonderful! To drink I saw that they had Horchata which I love getting and it didn't disappoint in the slightest. Very good quality food and friendly service will definitely have me coming back here!

    The atmosphere is kind of dive bar, but with really great food and cocktails. The tots, which are…read moremore of a croquette, are always amazing. We've also enjoyed the brussells sprouts. On our most recent visit we tried the nachos, and they were honestly the best nachos I've ever had. The cheese sauce is amazing- not some gross canned stuff. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, and the ingredients are layered throughout so you're not stuck with a bunch of plain chips. It feels silly to be gushing about nachos, but they are next level. It's not cheap, but well worth it!

    Dirty Oscar's Annex - Disappointing Experience on 6th Ave…read more We came in as a group of seven, and unfortunately the experience went downhill quickly. First, the service was poor and disorganized. One of my friends arrived early and ordered her drink, but it didn't arrive until after I had already received mine -- even after she asked twice. We also had to wait far too long for basic things like napkins and forks because we weren't given enough for everyone. The most frustrating part, however, was the automatic gratuity. At no point were we informed -- verbally or on the menu -- that parties of 6 or more are charged an automatic 20% gratuity. We only discovered it by carefully reviewing our checks. And to make matters worse, the so-called "20%" was not actually 20%. It came out to 24.1%. When we questioned it, the person who said she was the manager claimed "the computer does it automatically." We are a table full of teachers -- and the math was definitely not mathing. We understand and respect gratuity for large parties, especially when the service is great or when it's clearly communicated. But charging more than the stated percentage crosses from poor service into a billing integrity issue. To add to the frustration, there is also a credit card processing fee, which again was not clearly disclosed on the menu and only appeared at the bottom of the receipt. This absolutely should be visibly posted before ordering. They did offer to refund some of the charges, but we declined because it would have taken additional time and we had an event to get to -- and more importantly, it doesn't resolve the core issue of lack of transparency. She also gave each of us a $10 gift card, but again, that doesn't resolve the issue. And honestly, what good is a gift card if we don't plan on returning because of such an awful experience? Overall, this was a very disappointing visit, and not one we would recommend based on service and transparency alone.

    So how does a place go from 1 star to 5? 1. Customer service…read more2. Acceptance of feedback 3. Excellent food 4. Wide variety of drinks alcoholic and non-alcoholic! So let me explain! My last review was honest but a 1star- now they could have ignored it, denied it or even got rude about it- after all others have (see aspen house) But no, they reached out and asked to open up dialogue- they asked what could be done and they APOLOGIZED- ownership and accountability! The communication was on point and the definitely made good on everything! So we set out to give it another go- and seriously- I may have a new place to hang out! As a non drinker your average joint has water juice or soda- not here The selection of non alcoholic beers and the DELICIOUS MOCKTAILS!!!! A place that doesn't get upset when you order a fancy non alcoholic drink- and you get the feel of being a part of it all not just sippin a soda! Loooved ! Personally hooked on the sweet n tangy- (Sweet & Tangy DHOS Orange, lemon & lime juice, simple, & raspberry puree ) ---delicious! My partner tried a couple non alcoholic beers he didn't even know existed- excellent variety to make everyone feel a part of the crowd!! And if you love a good drink?? They only carry high end liquor and make their drinks definitely top notch! The kind of place that values quality!!! While keeping the prices competitive and honest! Now the food- BRIE- ohhhh the Brie dishes!!! Not many places create food art- creative delicious classic combos with a unique twist! Absolutely the place to check out and try a new dish! Unique items that I'm dying to go back for!!! One definitely to try-- "Apple Brie Grilled Cheese Apple chutney with caramelized onions, granny smith apple slices, brie & cheddar cheese, melted between parmesan crusted 3 Hearts Bread" yummmmmmm The best part though- the people- friendly outgoing crew that you can tell genuinely care about each other and also care about making sure that the people stopping by have a wonderful experience!!! If you're in the area or live near there- check them out- definitely the kinda place to stop in on the regular and make it a thing!!!! Can be smidge hard to find due to construction that should end soon but worth the hunt!!! A total Gem!! Good quality food, excellent service, and a 10/10 place to stop in! You won't regret supporting this small local women owned business!

Inside there are several tables and bar seating. The AC was on blast We were instantly greeted and sat. Our waitress was very sweet and helped with suggestions on cocktails. They have a good cocktail menu of fancy craft drinks. Prices are $14 each. We opted for a Bourbon Sweet Tea and the lavender drink. We enjoyed both. Food menu is rather small. We opted to share an appetizer of Dirty Martini Dip, which was tasty. We saw a waitress walk out with a Salmon Salad that looked delicious. We would possibly return in the future.

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!

We waited about 20 minutes for our food, which was the amount of time the person at the counter told us it would be. They had really good vegan sandwiches! We got the Tofu Fritter Po' Boy and the Braised Tofu Sandwich. I wish there was one more fritter in each sandwich half, and the bread was hard to bite through, but both sandwiches were delicious. We got to watch a bit of the World Cup and chat with the barkeep, who was really friendly. The restaurant was clean, the music wasn't too loud, and the staff were attentive. We had a good experience and will definitely come back!

    My family has driven past Cooks Tavern so many times and each time I've made a matter of factly…read moreremark that we should try it in the near future. After what I believe to have been 2 years of saying that, that day has finally come. First, parking near the restaurant was limited, however finding parking in the residential area was fine. We found parking about 2 minutes away from the restaurant. As we came with my best friend, who, by the way, was the reason why I finally stepped foot here, wait time wasn't long as she came about 5 minutes earlier than I. We came for brunch and it was busy but the wait was not bad at all. The both of us ordered the same items on the menu from both the drinks, the main and dessert - a sangria, Shakshuka with lamb, and beignets. We also brought our daughters with us. They ordered a cheeseburger with a side of caesar salad and a mac n cheese dish from the kids menu. Our orders were delicious, although I was expecting the shakshuka dish to be heftier. For the price - $17. xx with an additional $4 to add lamb - it was a little disappointing, to be honest, especially since it was lacking in the lamb department. I was still hungry but thankfully I had my 4 year old's leftover cheeseburger and salad to fill me right up. As for the beignets, it was good. I don't have anything to compare it to since I don't know what an actual beignet tastes like. Would I return? Sure.

    I went to this restaurant in Tacoma over the weekend. I had actually passed by many times…read morebefore--the eye-catching signage and overall atmosphere always drew me in. Finally got a chance to try it at noon today, and it was a great experience! Environment: The overall vibe is very American. There were TVs on the walls constantly playing various ball games, like today's playoff game between the Thunder and the Lakers. It was pretty busy on the weekend, especially the outdoor seating area, which was almost full. The building is an old structure dating back to the 1900s. Though it shows its age, it's very clean both inside and out--you can tell the owner really cares. Service: Our waitress was very, very friendly and professional. She gave us great recommendations, always served with a smile, checked in on us during the meal, and refilled our water. Very satisfied! Taste: Pizza: There's a funny little story: supposedly, Marco Polo went to China and saw pies, but didn't know how to wrap the filling inside, so he just put it on top--and thus the pizza was born. Personally, I think this is a myth, or many people have started fantasizing about Marco Polo because they think he was too great. But according to various unearthed historical records in China, Marco Polo never actually went to China. In fact, around 2010, more than 20 scholars organized an event called "Retracing Marco Polo's Route." After completing the journey and comparing it to what Marco Polo himself recorded, most of them concluded that he probably never made it to China. Sorry, I have a strong urge to share--went off on a long tangent about Marco Polo. But the pizza was really delicious. It should be truly fire‑baked, not oven‑baked. The sauce was well‑balanced, and the toppings were generous and fresh. My wife and I ate more than half of it! Salad: The dressing and cheese were very generously applied, and the greens were fresh. Chicken wings: They had a pleasant sweet‑savory taste, just right. Unlike most American restaurants where they're too salty or too sweet, these were perfectly balanced. All the dipping sauces were good. Overall, highly recommended!
