50 Best Coffee Shops near Lake Tapps

“Love this coffee shop so much.“

“Best coffee! Hands down! Their Iced white chocolate mocha is the best one I’ve ever had… Tiffany is the nicest barista on the planet and always has my drink ready for me when she sees me drive up. Just amazing place all around. Highly recommend ?“

“Friendly baristas, really good coffee. They have a wide variety of cup sizes. I normally can’t drink a lot of coffee and their smallest size was perfect. I didn’t see any places to sit but that was fine in my case bc I had somewhere else to go.
I’m not from around here but I really wish I had this place where I live! They have so many yummy looking items on the menu that I would wanna try.“

“Its a drive through so don't quote me on atmosphere. It was cool though, the service was AWESOME those girls really were great! They worked hard and knew their stuff. I ordered a white coffee drink and had questions. They were very knowledgeable and forgiving. Had I not liked it, they were happy to replace it with a traditional coffee expirence. I say expirence, because I felt the white coffee was an expirence. I forget what it was named, and may have asked for one shot white the other shot dark after tasting it. The nutty deliciousness was super fine for me, especially my first time tasting a fru-fru white coffee drink :)“

“Super cozy cafe! The workers are incredibly nice and patient and will make sure you are comfortable with your drinks/food! The menu is pretty small but offers a wide variety of flavors- also has really tasty cookies! 100/10“

“The place is super cute I love the decor it was my first time coming here and the ladies were super sweet and nice. I ordered a 24oz Salted carmel butter Chai tea (iced) very yummy !! If I'm in the area again I will definitely be coming back! ♥️“

“It was my first time back in months since I moved a while ago and rarely am I in the area. Greeted with beautiful smiles and amazing coffee as always. Thank you 🙏🏾“

“the broistas are always so fun and kind especially in the mornings and they have always gotten us in and out as fast as they can even on the busy days. my drinks are always the best and I honestly couldn't think of a better place to get my coffee/energy drinks.“

“I ordered a half sweet black sesame latte. The barista was very nice and also asked me if there was enough sesame in case she needed to adjust. That was very considerate and I appreciate those touches.

As for the cafe, it is in a small Korean shopping center and is on the smaller side. But, it was nice and quiet with a few tables and then a couple of bar-style seating around. The music and the voices were at a lower volume and had I my computer, I would have camped out for a while.

But, maybe for the next time I visit.“

“I’ve been away from the area for a couple of years. I wondered in to the Tacoma downtown location today and was entirely blown away by this incredibly designed space. The menu! The employees! The vibe! Is this the most beautiful vibe I’ve ever had with my coffee!!? Yes, I think so. Goodness they couldn’t have done a better job with this place😍“

“Very good coffee! Had the King's for an Americano and took a bag of the Peru home. That single origin made such a great aeropress this morning!“

“Delicious coffee and Mikayla is so sweet and personable!“

“Absolutely beautiful view upon approaching this location. I was so pleased that they were open part of the day on Thanksgiving, however I did inquire and was told they were not paid extra for working the holiday which i dont think is very fair even though the workers were NOT complaining or upset about it and still greeted us with a warm smile and served us some amazing drinks. I am forever grateful they were present to fuel me for my busy Thanksgiving day. I cannot compliment this staff enough. The drinks were great and all the baristas were beautiful and kind . I appreciate the redbull infused drinks and the many amazing flavor options they offer. Awesome drink spot in my opinion I will definitely be back!“

“Busy, but friendly and efficient staff handled it well, so not too long waiting. Well worth it for the nice frosty coffee drinks!😀“

“I always like this little coffee stand. It’s located next to my favorite store. (Mclendons hardware) When I am hungry they serve up some delicious hot dogs or polish dogs. They have nice and strong coffee. They have energy drinks and so much more. The only thing I didn’t care for , when I get off work in the evening sometimes they don’t have the hotdogs cooked and ready. They microwave one for you so it’s ok but not preferred. I do recommend this cute little hometown coffee stand.“

“I LOVED this coffee shop so much! I visited on a Saturday, and there were so many people in line that it took a while to place my order. One thing to keep in mind is they close at 3pm on Saturdays, so plan accordingly so you have enough time to fully enjoy the atmosphere!

As far as the food goes, the pastries all looked so delicious behind the glass! I chose the cranberry seasonal tart and a lavender latte. Super impressed with the flavors, and the staff were so friendly! The architecture and farm style furnishings really complete the vibe, making a great spot to hang out with friends or bring a laptop and get some work done. I will definitely be back!“

“The three young ladies who were working on July 14th were exceptional!! From walking in I was greeted with great enthusiasm. Then from ordering she was nice and welcoming. To the lady who took her time to write on my cup and made a cute doodle for my birthday! Thank you. She even double checked my modifications for the correct amount. This was the best service I’ve had at Starbucks hands down. I wish I got their names ! The ladies had great energy and wonderful personalities.“

“I always had a great rapport with Shelly at your A Street location and was wondering why she was let go. So I called the other location thinking that she moved over to the other location and was RUDELY greeted by some “God Awful Barista” there. I barely got in a sentence and she said, sorry, and HUNG UP on me. What kind of ATTITUDE brings this on and why did she compel to do what she did. I should’ve gotten her name but I could barely get in my complaint with her that this really irritated me for sure! So I’m here , COMPLAINING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, about your PISS POOR COMPANY with the WORST employee that you have on Staff“

“Kassie’s Korner is a drive-thru coffee spot with two locations; South Hill and Graham. The staff is always AMAZING and from my experience, if you go often, they’ll remember you and your usual drink.
There are a few food options available from other local shops which make a delicious addition to their drink options. And yes, they have A LOT of options. Whether coffee or something more fruity, the choices are many. I enjoy their coffee over most others I’ve tried in the Seattle area. Their staff recommendations and seasonal favorites always hit the spot too.
And if you drive through with your dog, they wven have a treat for them!“

“I go to this Jumpstart every single day and I'm always greeted with smiles and great service. I remember, after only two times coming here London already had my drink memorized and it takes only a couple minutes for me to get my espresso! I would highly encourage her supervisors to consider a raise! We need livable wages in our communities and coffee is surely one of those thing I would be happy to pay another 50¢ for if it means the lovely staff makes a better hourly wage! Thank you Jumpstart ladies for making the start to my day perfect, every time :)“

“I came in for a coffee and left feeling like I could bench-press a small car. The vibes are elite, the staff deserves a trophy, and the coffee tastes like it was brewed by angels who also know how to pull perfect espresso shots. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to upgrade their entire life.“

“great service. kind loving staff. personal touch for every customer. great coffee, great prices. won't go anywhere else.“

“The team has always been welcoming, knowledgeable and fun to engage with. I look forward to the drinks they make, the conversations we have and ultimately the relationship I can count on via my barista. They’ve seen me on some of my best and worst days, I always feel better after I leave! Excellent prices, fantastic flavor, and it feels good supporting a local woman own business!💓🎉“

“Always a joy to see these Ladies!!“

“Best coffee I have ever had. The customer service is great. I love the vibe they give off.. location is a great spot also. Can't forget the coffee was just how I wanted it hot and it was a white chocolate hot mocha. Bomb I recommend this place to anyone. The girl are very nice and look very cheerful.

Parking: There is parking if u want to chill and drink ur coffee but idk if they do walk ups.

Kid-friendliness: They are ur topical coffee stand there have a positive cheerful vibe they are friendly serving coffee very kid friendly and have candy for the kiddos and have kid drinks also for a great price.“

“We've been customers since this coffee stand opened. We love the coffee at Graham's Fast Break Java! For the most part the service has been excellent too. Buuuttt... More recently there's been times I have got a little P.Oed. 2 people working , 1 a little red head gal that wears glasses. Has been doing an excellent job. But the 2 blonds that work with her talk to much and block one of the windows up with their viistors. Or stock cups when, there is a huge line . Then come to window to collect money. I hope the red head gets her tips, She could be a good manager. she just needs to take a little control.“

“We absolutely enjoyed our morning at Holiday Cafe :) Cozy atmosphere, with a fun/clean play area for the little ones. The coffee was wonderful as well!“

“After an extensive taste testing at local coffee shops, my husband and I decided Ben's was our go to. With delicious coffee and awesome baristas, it wasn't long before we'd come so frequently that we hit V.I.P. status. While we've had our general favorite drinks, the girls also made delicious suggestions to satisfy our daily caffeine requirements. Hello, white coffee! Extra special thanks to Rachel, Ava, and Alicia for always being so kind, sweet, and funny! You're our FAVES! ❤️ Definitely made loyal customers out of us!“

“Fantastic❤️“

“Great atmosphere and great employees“

“The two ladies who served me today made the most delicious coffee. They were so kind and understanding. I had gotten a coffee from Starbucks that was not good at all, and they took it upon themselves to make me a new one — and it was even better! I really appreciate their kindness and great service! They are amazing! Made my day!“

“This is my daily morning stop the 6 months we are in Washington! JavaJava coffee is “The BEST in the West!” The Barista gals are so friendly and expert in serving! 😎👍🏼 Hummmmm, maybe you could open an Espresso Stop in Apache Junction, Arizona?🤷🏽‍♂️😎 We spend our Winters there!“

“Location. Food choices. Cocktails. Great coffee.. Best is the staff💕“

“The baristas at the Fife stand are absolutely the best. I can't thank them enough for helping me every morning.“

“This location has become my new favorite spot not only for the crew members being amazing but for also always getting the orders out quick very time efficient and Sammy always has my order ready for me when she sees me pull up which I am genuinely astonished by because it’s hard for a lot of people to get so quickly memorized. So for her to have memorized that is really cool to me. Y’all are awesome. And have a good team working with ya !“

“Cute boba tea place that sells way more than just tea! We got the Oreo Korean shaved ice, brown sugar milk tea, and the mochi waffle with Nutella and Oreo.
Food quantities are pretty big. Both things we got were definitely for 2 or 3 people. The shaved ice was really good, it was vanilla shaved ice with Oreo toppings and a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a side of condensed milk for the topping.
Everything was really good, we will be coming back again!“

“I was hesitant to get a coffee as it doesn't fit into my budget well these days. Between the rain and the computer...my eyes were closing...I had a couple more hours of work..And decided to treat myself. AND WOW!!! This oat milk mocha literally is the most delicious one I've ever laid my lips on!🙃🙂Worth every penny and then some. And the Barista kindly gave me a water as forgot my water bottle today. Thank you!!!“

“Always friendly and always amazing coffee“

“This place made generic apple cider taste amazing! I love their lotus drinks, smoothies, and most of their coffee, but for some reason the white chocolate has an odd nutty flavor instead of a sugary taste. Since that’s one of my favorite flavors, I docked a star. BUT they have white coffee!! It’s the only coffee I can drink and even Starbucks doesn’t have that.“

“I always enjoy stopping by this tap house. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming every time I visit. The drinks are great, with a solid selection that’s always fresh and well-poured. Prices are reasonable, especially for the quality you get.
Overall, it’s a comfortable spot with great service and good value. Definitely one of my favorite places to unwind.“

“Always great! The Baristas are always awesome and the drinks taste better every time. I’ve never liked going to coffee stands before and I’ve always stuck with energy drinks, but this place is going to make me a regular. I just wish there was another choice of protein powder other than peanutbutter.“

“Absolutely love this place. The interior is adorable, all the drinks from cocktails to coffees are delicious as is the food and the ladies are so sweet. Definitely recommend and will be back.“

“MOSTLY ON ICE IS ALWAYS GOOD IS MY FAVORITE DRINK“

“The best coffee and vibes! If you’re not local, it’s still worth a trip!“

“This place is amazing! And the staff were extremely nice! The food was so good! I had the smoked sausage and potato soup and Italian sub. We are visiting but will be making a return visit before we leave.“

“Stephanie is the greatest owner I have ever met. She's so in tune to her customers and they Love her! And she trains all of her baristas to be attentive to her patrons. Friendly owner, friendly baristas, great drinks. Start your day on the bright side with Southern Charm.“

“Great experience and good coffee“

“Hi there the only thing I don't like what they do is when I give him my money and then they talk to you and say do you want your change back of course I want my change back that's my money you should not put people in a place with a question like that“

“just discovered that we could have our FAVORITE cold brew shipped to us and lemme just say, GAME CHANGER. I've ordered online 3 times now and have received my order within 24 hrs - we live in Tacoma, so, local - BUT STILL!! Dan's Cold Brew and Poverty Bay Coffee Co for the freakin win!!! ☕🤸‍♀️☕“
