50 Best Coffee Shops in Tacoma

“My first time visiting....We had a Mother/Daughter day and she took me to this lovely coffee shop off of Ruston way...the coffee was hot and tasty...but the Dill Chedder Cheese Sones were so flaky and delicious...I can't wait to go back...“

“I loved my visit here today! We were traveling from out of state for the first time and it was such a perfect first stop to our vacation. Marcus was such an INCREDIBLE host. Not to mention I will be DREAMING about my seasonal mocha latte!! My partner got their Thai tea to try something new (which is rare for them) and was blown away by it. Five starts all around, great service great quality products!“

“Great tiny little coffee place. I love the little shop, and the coffee was excellent“

“Went today for the first time and idk if it was a mistake because it’s the best coffee I’ve had!! and I cannot drive everyday here for my coffee because it’s a bit too far from me 😂. Totally recommend it and an extra plus because they have the nicest people!“

“Tried it for the first time today. Got the Caramel Cinnamon Apple Butter Latte Hot. OMG TO DIE FOR 🤤 definitely will keep going back!“

“Was there today for a meeting. The owner was super friendly. The scone was delicious and the ice water was tasty 🤭. I highly recommend this place.It has a chill vibe to just hang out and relax or just grab something to drink.“

“The staff is supper nice and knowledgeable about coffee, and great coffee. Just a winner combination.“

“omg love the baristas coffee and spritzers on point amazing place to go“

“I had such a wonderful time at 15% Board Game Cafe tonight! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome and at home. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and fun. The selection of games was fantastic—over 300 games to choose from…..there was something for everyone. Thank you, 15% Board Game Cafe, for a memorable night out with friends. I can’t wait to come back and try more games soon!“

“You know those nights were your exhausted, but instead of treating your body to a night of deep blissful relaxation and regeneration, your brain has different plans, plans that involve you randomly checking the clock 41 times like some psychotic timekeeper, all while your partner next to you gets the best sleep of their lives 😒 I ambled into this shop visibly and mentally impaired, in desperate need of coffee. The vibe in this place is neoatherial were the conversations, art, and decor blend into a sort of grey noise that transcends reality. The barista greeted me warmly and was super receptive to my current state. A beautifully crafted coffee that was somewhere between a cappuccino and a latte (my request) tasted as great as it looked and got me functioning somewhere close to normal again. I also tried one of the homemade pop tarts. It was amazing. All kidding aside this is a great place with a warm and friendly atmosphere and fantastic coffee!“

“So good!!! Highly recommend!“

“One of my favorite coffee shops & car wash. Has been for years!!! 😁“

“have not been able to go in in person since i moved out of the area a few years ago, but this was one of my favorite places when i lived in tacoma. i still order my favorite teas from here whenever i run out, and the shipping service is exceptional! always comes quickly and very reliable. hope to be back in the area again someday soon to get some hairy crab oolong in person“

“I love all of these ladies, they absolutely make my day every time I come for coffee! And the coffee is amazing too!“

“It reminds me of how Seattle coffee culture used to be. Lux is a place you can hang out for a while and feel welcome! The owner and the shop are big assets to the neighborhood.“

“Best breakfast sandwiches ever!!! Best vibe & staff too!“

“As a former employee. And a steady customer. I'd say this is the only coffee stand I go to. Unless it's an emergency lol. And the girls are very friendly and have a great attitude. All day everyday. Food service and drinks are always amazing. Highly recommended. Number one coffee stand in parkland.“

“great coffee & calm atmosphere“

“The best coffee on 6th! Love the atmosphere and everything about Wily. It's an even better spot if you're a cyclist. Nerdy bike shop and coffee? Yes, please. Did I mention they also have a great selection of beer on draft? Wily does everything well. 5 stars, for sure.“

“The woman helping us was so kind and had great drink suggestions. I couldn't believe that a smoothie, vanilla latte, and flavored hot chocolate was only $11. Everything was delicious! My only regret is that we don't live in Tacoma to come back regularly.“

“Bought a bag of Morning Sun whole beans. Package says it's a darker roast. Darker than what? Water? We tried it three mornings in a row. With no other whole beans in the house, I had to switch to instant coffee. Morning Sun is NOT a dark roast. Sorry to say I was very disappointed.“

“Best boba and coffee! So cute inside and friendly staff.“

“I have been to Mom’s Bistro many times and every time I say to myself I have to write a review so that others who haven’t tried this gem take some time to place an order. This time I actually took the time to take pics to share because normally I go straight into eating my food. They have a small menu but what they do have is perfect for those looking for some delicious bagel sandwiches. My go to order is a BLT add red onion on an everything bagel. My partner loves the America’s favorite. This place is consistent, every single time our sandwiches are fresh, they aren’t made sloppily which I appreciate because it shows the owners care about presentation. The place is clean. They do take requests without making you feel you are asking too much. That should be the standard but unfortunately there are other places that make you feel bad for asking. They cook the bacon to proper temperature all the time but I like my bacon extra well done and they accommodate this to perfection. I’m from the east coast and I miss going to the corner store and ordering a bacon, egg and cheese and this place has been my go since I stumbled across it. I’m looking forward to trying their bulgogi bowl and iced drinks. Thank you Mom’s Bistro from a happy and satisfied customer.“

“Was in the area for the day so I stopped to grab a doughnut. 11:30 AM still tons of selection. Their donuts are amazing, especially the maple old-fashioned.(but sweet!) can’t vouch for the drinks. I took my order to go. Do you remember you need cash.“

“They live up to their name! If I could give 100 stars I would. The staff is amazing and the drinks are the best around!“

“Me and my sister went to get the 2 16 ounce free drinks and 1 32 ounce drink today and they were so patient so kind even though they were swamped with customers on both sides each side had about eight different cars and more we’re still coming one person just clocked in and within five seconds of seeing her walk in and clock in she came out and started working and taking orders The lines were moving fast. We were only there for eight minutes and there was five cars ahead of us and on the other side, there was at least 3 to 4 cars that went by at the time we got to the window all the ladies there were amazing patient kind our drinks tasted amazing. Only thing I would say is I wouldn’t add cream to mine again it separated, weird but that is not on them. My sister’s drink didn’t separate weird it was only mine not complaining still tasted good. I would definitely go to this location again“

“Stumbled on this cafe and glad I did!
Best vanilla caramel latte with a honey drizzle I had in a long time. Foam was perfect 👌🏽 chocolate croissant was good. Clean, lots of seating, big windows to people watch. Prime location. Service was great.“

“Just an all around cool setup and great coffee.“

“Stopped to try Italian sodas and grabbed a white chocolate mocha. All of our drinks were delicious and fairly priced. The service was phenomenal and my family has decided to make this our new coffee/ treat stop. Thanks to the barista(wish I would have got her name) for being such a wonderful treat!“

“Had an early morning appointment close to the coffee stand so I stopped to get my caffeine fix. SO glad I did! I ordered the Golden Ribbon. It was heavenly! Great taste and not too sweet! Service was excellent! If I’m ever in the area needing coffee, I’ll be sure to make this my stop! ❤️“

“Cute little cafe with super good bubble tea! I got Taro milk tea with tapioca and they got the light sweetness and ice I asked for perfect. The taro isn't neon purple so I love that it has less artificial colors. Tasted great! They have coffee and lots of cute little cakes and snacks.“

“Excellent coffee, great food options (including gluten free options), and incredible people.“

“I love this little shop. The gals are always so nice and the coffee is great. They make a point to get to know their customers and it's also dog friendly. The only downside is the constant loitering of people asking for money or just hanging around and yelling at customers as they walk in and out. They hang out right by the entrance and crosswalk so there is almost no way to avoid them and sometimes there are several at a time. It's very uncomfortable and doesn't feel safe and I feel for the gals that have to deal with that at the coffee stand and I hope they are compensated well because I can only imagine the challenges they face every day.“

“Friendly service, good coffee, and chill environment. I can dig it!“

“there are so many reasons to live lift bridge. here are just a couple... 1. coffee is superb 👌 hits the mark every time. 2. the baritas are friendly, fast, and most of all.. passionate about coffee. 3. No other coffee compares honestly... when I have to go elsewhere for my coffee... I find my self wishing I made the drive just for lift bridge“

“I forgot to leave a review when I first tried this place! My first ever experience was either last week or the week before and it was around 2? The lady who served me was such a kind human and despite me not having my glasses and just picking something haha she was able to make it perfect!! I actually am headed back today for more coffee haha! It was/is a wonderfully coffee shop and I think it's my new go-to!!

Parking: I am in walking distance and I don't drive sadly, so I can't help to much?

Kid-friendliness: Oh gosh as someone who suffers really bad with social anxiety to the point that I avoid places commonly, I felt safe in here. So a kid would love it!!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is enough space in the door for a wheelchair and there is a ramp for em as well!!“

“It was my first time into landers and it was the best experience. The person at the register was the nicest. The wait was not long at all! The coffee is the best coffee I have ever had!! I will be going back here every week most likely! Definitely recommend it here!“

“large spritzer syrup selection! great baristas! awesome drinks!“

“I tried a new white coffee that was so good right during shift change. Slammed that thing down before I got home lol. Definitely going back for more of those! I didn't catch the girls name but she can make a good drink. She even asked if I wanted to try it make sure I liked it before which I thought was really nice of her. Thank You!“

“The owner is very kind has wonderful customer service skills, makes the best coffee I’ve tasted in years she makes Starbucks look brand new! They also have the best sandwiches I recommend the roast beef sandwich without tomato for lunch prices are affordable.“

“We had their sausage egg sandwich on brioche buns. They were super hot and tasty. The coffee drinks used great chocolate in the mocha and a creme brûlée latte with their caramel whipped cream! We were at their newest location on Ruston and the barista was hustling to keep up with the business.“

“They are hands down the best coffee from their iced to the blended drinks. The flavors are on point. They love to experiment with drinks with me, they are so good I'll drive out of my way to get my coffee... thank you ladies for being there for me in the mornings“

“High quality drinks, lots of options and variety!“

“So I just had a delivery order from this location, and I had to write a review. Placed an order for a desperately needed coffee to get me through a busy day at work, along with a treat for my kiddo and a hot chocolate. My first dasher said the order was backed up and then dropped the order, the second one also dropped the order and a third dasher finally got to the store to pick it up. I got a confusing message saying the order was picked up, and then the barista called me and told me the previous dasher made up a whole story about speaking with me on the phone and me giving her permission to get donuts holes instead of the selected treat, and then took my order, before cancelling and stealing it. She let me know that they were out of cake pops, and helped me select a frosted sugar cookie that my son was very happy about. She reassured me that she was going to remake my order, and to call the store if it was stolen again. She was incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond, and as a former barista I know how crazy the barista job can be in the days leading up to and following holidays, so it was really appreciated. I need to go in person soon and make sure I leave a big tip because the baristas here are rockstars!
The gingerbread latte I got is everything I wanted, and not sickly sweet, still perfectly hot, way better than a certain big brand coffee chain that I’ve been boycotting all year now. This coffee is going to get me through a very busy day in my law firm before I finally get the rest of the week off. 100/10“

“What a fantastic place This is in great customer service and good coffer. It's easy to access. Really nice people.Lots of room to park handicap.Accessory, love it. GravityCoffee is all over the place.They need more stores.They are much better than starbucks. Take it from us.This is the place to go to, get your coffee.“

“This morning I got a recess pieces blended coffee with 4 shots and whip cream. I get these all the time in the town where I live and the spot I go is really good but this coffee today was different. By far the best blended coffee I've had in a long time or ever. Thank you ladies. Congrats to the woman who is getting married very soon. Do yourselves a favor and try this coffee shop. You wont be disappointed. Martin Henry please move over to the east side of washington“

“I had an engagement session near this Anthem so we went in! I challenged the baristas with making a heart on top of a latte to be used for a photo! They kindly did it free of charge with repurposed grounds! I absolutely loved the outcome! Great atmosphere!“

“New and local shop, close to the gym and home. Great service, great taste. Will be a regular!“

“The barista recommended the white mocha and it was delicious!“
