    Hash
    Sara Y.

    I cannot say enough about this fantastic place. Headline: FLAVOR. I had the hash and a chai. The chai is made in house and it is spicy on a level that satisfies and delights. The hash had flavor and a wonderful texture that was unique. I have never had the like. The service was both authentically friendly and knowledgeable. The space itself is decorated beautifully- it has that 90s PNW feel but has also brought contemporary elements in. Really wonderful experience.

    Tofu scramble, savory egg sandwich, lemon cake dessert

    What an absolutely adorable, quaint restaurant. There's an awesome vibe in there as soon as you step in, felt very "Tacoma" which I appreciated! Also, as a vegetarian it's hard for a breakfast to impress me. The tofu scramble was a 10/10 and the best I've ever had. So much so, I'm going again with friends in a couple weeks to get the same exact order! As far as service, it definitely was a little slow. But they were sweet and it was a busy morning for them, and it is still very much a worth it! Just a small note, I also got the Tacoma Fog, it wasn't hot when it got to me. More lukewarm. Unsure if it was supposed to be like that? Still delicious though.

    We stopped by on a Sunday morning and it was super packed. We sent one of our party in search of a table so that we would have a place to eat while the rest waited in line. The line was slow as many customers seemed unsure of what they wanted. The staff handled everything with friendly smiles and as quickly as possible. The place is super cute and I loved the Gertie mural on the wall! We put our order in and because it was busy they let us know it would take 25 minutes or so. The cashier was informative and friendly. We ordered two savory egg sandos and build your own breckie along with a matcha and two seasonal drinks. I was tempted by the Seedlip marg but reined it in for breakfast. The two specialty coffee drinks were fantastic! The matcha was excellent as well. The sauce the came with the potatoes was awesome - one of the best we've had. The savory egg sandos were also great. A+ on the food. Do yourself a favor when in Tacoma and give them a try.

    Very nice in-house pastries and a decent latte made for a nice morning. Seating's a bit tight but that's fine. Very pleasant staff, mellow environment. Good place to come back to whenever we're back in Tacoma.

    Come hungry! This breakfast and lunch restaurant has some huge breakfast sandwiches. We ordered a couple cocktails, the chicken sausage sandwich, and savory sandwich. The sandwiches were stuffed and full of flavors. They were quite savory. But if you dont like savory things, they also of sweet items too. They have a display case full of yummy looking pastries. I wish I had more room to also order pastries but it was already alot of food for 2 people. I will definitely come back for their ham croissants and giant cinnamon roll. The restaurant is small and the tables are all close together. So be prepared to get cozy with your neighbors.

    Fun spot, very trendy. The bahn mi was great, loved the fresh baguette. I just think it could have benefited from some more herbs and jalapeño as you'd find at Vietnamese joints. The chai whoopie pie was also good but I again wish it had more of kick. The buttercream filling was delicious though.

    Went here for the first time and Sunday morning at 10:30 it was packed with a line of eight people waiting to make their selections. I ordered a chocolate croissant and let me tell you, the lamination was unbelievable. If you don't know what that is, Google it! My friend ordered the curry tart and said it was excellent. A banana muffin was not completely baked through but Will, the owner, not only went back immediately to tell his baker, but pulled the rest of the muffins from the case and gave us another pastry of our choice. Now that's good customer service and also taking criticism sincerely. Great vibe!

    Savory egg sandwich

    My cousins and I decided to grab lunch after our cycling class, and we pulled up around 10:30-11 AM and let me tell you, this place stays PACKED. Every time I looked up, there was a line out the door, which already told me we were in for something good. The café itself is super cute cozy, airy, and just a whole vibe. Their menu is stacked with good options. We ordered the huevos rancheros, savory egg sandwich, and the Hilltop Dutch Baby, and everything was delicious, but OMG LISTEN... you HAVE to get the huevos rancheros. That dish was the star. No questions asked. Their matcha is fire, and of course we treated ourselves to some mimosas because balance if you are planning to have a group of friends eat there.. good luck during the busy times cause it does get packed and another thing you do bus your own table, but honestly, I get it... they are BUSY busy. If I'm ever in the Tacoma area again, I'd 100% swing by for a quick brunch or lunch bite. Just a heads up parking is rough. Overall busy for a reason, cute aesthetic, amazing food. Add it to your list!

    Great spot to try!! Reviews looked good and they have an octopus and hearts, two of my favorites SO I had to! I'm not from here. Parking was on the street. Inside is cool in temperature. There's a fair amount of seating inside and two 2 seater tables outside. I ordered the Dutch baby Benedict. Delicious. The potatoes had a nice spice (light lemon tarty-ness) w the most perfect crunch! The skillet held a light, sweet bread like crust with the egg and ham. I've never had something like it before and it was tasty. Food prep time was fair for it being lunch time! The coffee was served in a glass cup i would normally use for cold drinks, (this was different to me) BUT was good. It is a self serve type place. You order, they bring the food but you grab the utensils, napkins, water, condiments and clean up after yourself. Staff was very friendly too Downside- homeless across and walking by as we sat outside. One homeless person almost spit on me as she walked angrily away from RED Elm cafe next door.

    Well our first time. Cold atmosphere, order yourself and buss yourself... mmm. Coffee strong and burnt flavor to me. We shall see how food is. We picked it because of the ratings. Ok wow the food IS good. No service tho. But they do bring your food out. Wow the Dutch baby my hubby loved! The little potatoes were fantastic with bits of bacon etc in there... yum! My Sammy ... nice bread and good presentation. It was also super good! Will definitely come back for the food. It's just not a cozy place. Definitely hipster type coffee place with food. Cold steel chairs and that kinda stuff. But modern. The food makes this place. Will try a different item next time! They did have several pastries in showcase as well for coffee. Also one free refill of cup of coffee only.

    Savoury egg sandwich

    I love the hours and the secrets out, I think if you come on the weekends before 8:30 you'll still get a seat but you have to get lucky as the time gets closer to 9. Minus one star for general attitude of staff more recently. I ordered several items and was not handed my baked goods for the kiddo, so when I got my latte and kid milk, I asked if I could also get the baked items and was told "you were supposed to get them when you ordered. You should've asked for them". I get it, there's a line at the register, you're busy. I also have a 3 year old and I already waited in the line once, so I don't think I should be held responsible for the cashier not giving me a cookie and croissant on a plate. Another recent time my husband and I ordered drip coffee with refill. I waited patiently in line for my husbands refill and was snapped at "did you pay for this?!" Like if you're going to act like that, maybe you should give me a refill token or something. I didn't even go back for my refill because I didn't want to deal with the attitude. I'm pretty sure it was the owner, since I've seen him every single time I've come. Basically, this is my regular experience at Tacoma spots - they start off so nice and you love them, then get a little bit of attitude on the service side and I don't want to go back . I'll probably go to delightful or something and get 3 hearts baked item and a coffee there instead.

    If you're looking for a new cafe to visit in Tacoma, definitely head up to Hilltop to check out Three Hearts, located on MLK at S. 11th Street, across from the new Hilltop District T Line light rail station. Three Hearts espresso drinks are made with locally roasted coffee from Bluebeard Coffee Roasters. We love supporting local. Recommendations: From the Cold Case, try the Lemon Bar. And from the Pastry Case, try the Almond Croissant. So good!

    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.

Everything is black, super dark windows on one wall, very plain amenities. Not really my vibe, but the menu was interesting to me. I am gluten free and pescatarian and found MANY fun options, plus they were cool with substitutions and other things. They were even serving breakfast still at 2pm, which was awesome! Not sure if this was because we went the day after Christmas or if this is the usual here. I got the fried cheese balls- YUM! Usually these aren't gluten free so I was very happy that they were. It was like a mozzarella stick but way more flavorful and interesting. Not like anything I have had before. I got the shrimp and grits and they let me put the sausage on the side for my husband to enjoy since I don't eat meat. Loved this option, as usually I pay the same amount for a dish with no meat by taking it off. They also let me do my egg scrambled instead of poached. The shrimp was great, grits were perfect, and the sauce was pretty good. I do prefer a bit more flavor in my sauces, but still found the meal to be quite satisfying. The vibes and the service are nothing special in my opinion, but they do nail southern comfort food and options for dietary needs.

    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!

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!
