    Stopped here after a run with a group of friends. Service was unfortunately not great. They seemed extremely overwhelmed. Coffee took a very long time. 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. Not worth the price to me. Would love to give them an opportunity. We will go back soon and try again. Maybe they were having a bad day.

    "Looks sketch but it's not" is how this place was described. It is in an alley/side street close to…read moreTacoma Glassblowing studio. There doesn't appear to be anything else around. Non discript dark wooden doors welcome you into an inviting coffee shop with a lot more than coffee. Super friendly employee was quick and efficient. Drinks were delicious as was the pastries. Love the large square table to hang out, chat, read or play a game.

    Very cute place! Tucked away in an alley near downtown Tacoma…read more I had been eyeing this place for a while. I have seen it here on Yelp. I had been seeing some NA cocktails on my social media feed and saw that Soulberry Coffee House stocks them. Figured it is better to try them one by one rather than committing to a subscription order online. They have great coffee and pastries, from what I tried. I got a muffin, donut, and turnover and the latte of the month. Looks like their specialty is coffee and mocktails. I believe they roast their own coffee. They have a pretty good size mocktail menu. They sell packaged NA RTDs, as well as alcohol free/removed wines and spirits, bitters, syrups, elderberry syrup, fired cider, honey, teas and more. The folks at the counter were friendly and welcoming. They also had some alcohol free/removed wines out for complimentary tasting. The one I tried was surprisingly delicious. It appears they have some sort of loyalty program at checkout, but I am unsure of the details. I forgot to ask about military discount. I would definitely come back.

    This is my "go to choice" whenever someone wants to go out for coffee, I know that their drinks…read morewill be superb. They make their syrups inhouse, and you can tell, even a basic caramel latte tasted like the most delicate, handcrafted drink. They have fun seasonals, they're a hit or miss obviously based on your preferences, but I love them all so far. My go to drink pairing is a cardamon and ginger latte. The inside is SO HOMEY. It's rare to find coffee shops that haven't succumbed to the hospital white aesthetic, so this is so refreshing on the head. It is the ideal shop to study in. The cups and plates are my favorite thing about this place. The cups are handmade and just so stinking cute. The baristas are so welcoming every single time I come in, they look like they just love their job and love to chat with the customers. The outside of the shop is a mint green which really throws me off because the inside is so cute. The parking situation is a little limited as well, there's a few parking spots near the shop and the rest is street parking. They have a large selection of pastries and some food but know that if you come in the afternoon there probably won't be much left, they go pretty quick. Amazing shop, it's a different aesthetic than what most shops are but it feeds that "homey" craving that I have when I want to study at a coffee shop.

    Every cup of coffee that has been sipped from Beware has been a delight. I like to view myself as…read moresome sort of coffee connoisseur and I can 100% say that this place takes pride in what they do. The wait is a little long and I feel that is because they take their time with each cup they make. Seating is scarce so if you plan to enjoy your cup inside, do come in when they open because it fills up really quick. My only recommendation if they look into the reviews is to remove the center table and put 2 more 2 seater tables if it still allows within capacity. Never change. Your coffee is great.

    I wish we had something like this in Seattle. A true specialty coffee cafe, with a lot of options,…read moresourcing, and anything ranging from neutral to flavor bomb profiles. The employees here are really nice, and the coffee beans are some of the most vibrant and packed with flavor (my preference) due to the experimental techniques used and their careful sourcing. The espresso drinks include classics, but also a lot of cool twists and syrups too. Pastries are excellent. The goat cheese chimichurri was so good and savory, and vibrant herbs and spices. Definitely a must-stop for my Tacoma visits!

It is located only a 5-minute drive from the car museum. We got yummy Smashburgers (comes with chips) and fries at Canteen by Camp Colvos. For drinks, we got a couple of sodas at Canteen, a Willie Maize Hazy IPA on tap at the 7 Seas bar, and I tried a refreshing Lavender Patch (16 oz iced sparkling espresso with lavender syrup and yuzu lemonade) at Naomi Joe Coffee. They have some pinball machines, free water at the back, and a party room you can rent. As with most breweries, it is family-friendly. I love the laid-back and friendly atmosphere of this place. They sell cool merch and have a neat display in honor of the historic Heidelberg Brewing Company of Tacoma that dates back to 1912.

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.

    I came on a Thursday to check out this adorable cafe after seeing on IG about the 6-month…read moreanniversary celebration. Inside is clean and spacious, the neutral tone of the decor feels cozy - great place to work or study. Just FYI, mostl of the tables are for 2 people. I got a seasonal drink - Coconut Latte (4/5 stars), which is topped with coconut cream and came with a white chocolate coconut Ferrero Rocher. The coconut flavor isn't very strong, but worked well with the coffee. My only complaint is I dislie shredded coconut, which is part of the topping. I felt bad asking them to remake it just for that. As part of the 6-month celebration, I got a free Mini Dubai Chocolate Cup (4.5/5 stars) with purchase of any drink. The pistachio kanafi is amazing, and still crunchy when I had it a few hours after I got it. The strawberries are mostly fresh. A small part of the dessert is a bit watery (from the washed strawberries I assume), but overall it's a yummy dessert that I recommend. Lastly, shout-out to the friendliest barista Jasmine!

Service was fast, employees were super friendly, and the espresso was high quality. Bathrooms were also spotless. I'll also say that this place smells FANTASTIC. They have some mild scent diffusers going that make the place just smell so fresh and pleasant. Not overwhelming at all. Also, the chairs were nice and comfortable. I sat there for around 2 hours and was very comfortable. I will definitely come back here to try some of their other drinks and their desserts. Only (small) negative is that there's hardly any parking outside the shop. It's in a strip mall and there were very few spots available when I visited. You could maybe park down the street in a residential area.
