“Was looking for a good spot to get some work done on my laptop. This place did not disappoint. Very friendly, and fast service. I always get a caramel latte at Cafés, and it was fine. Atmosphere was great. It's often hard to find a place to work on music. Some lightings make it hard to see the software, and of course noise levels also contribute. There was a group of people talking when I came in, so I was a bit nervous about noise, but was pleasantly surprised to find none of these problems were present.Parking: Only a couple of spots open when I arrived. Plenty of open spaces when I left.“
“Always a winner ?They take care of you.Works for me.2024 update this is the only Starbucks that's up and running at a very early morning without any nonsense. The other Starbucks within 10 miles of this Starbucks are not open and not fully functional. If they are open they're out of stuff or they don't have it prepared.Once again thank you for doing your job.“
“The service was great! We had never been and the person with the cool hand tattoos was very nice and accomodating. The sundried tomato cream cheese we got for our asiago bagel was phenominal, and the drinks were a delight. We tried two of their specialty drinks mine was the Taurus and it was sweet, spiced, and creamy I loved it. My partners drink was their Gemini coffee and it was less sweet, but had a nice caramel flavor and the espresso taste that he loved. Such a cozy spot with a variety of delicious pastries that are flavorful and warm. We will definitely be back!“
“This cafe has creative signature drinks as well as the cozy classics and great coffee. The atmosphere is lively but still cozy and the baristas are bubbly, helpful and skilled.I think what really pushes them to 5 stars is the attention to detail in their aesthetic for drinks, food and cafe. Plus, there is a great mountain view from the back window“
“Miss all the donuts shops that lined almost every neighborhood in SoCal. Seeing and eating at this place brings me home. It's next to the KFC and has a decent amount of parking. I felt very safe coming here midday and the store was clean and nice (I mention this because I went to another donut shop in Tacoma before which was very good too but kinda sketch or what one might say has "character" lol). Greeted immediately upon entry by cheery nice workers. I got a raised, cake, and old fashioned donut to try the selection of donut styles, plus a ham and cheese croissant. The sugar raised and cake donut tasted not too sweet (a positive in my book) and seemed fresh, meaning a little crispy on the outside, but moist and fluffy or creamy on the inside). However, the winner today was the old fashioned (my husband ate it all before I could take a photo). The old fashioned was very good, even with no icing it was delectable - perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy and flavorful on the inside. Outside the donut world, the ham and cheese croissant hit a home run. A good amount of ham, a little cheese, and a very nicely flaky, buttery but not too moist croissant outer. Prices are pretty good. Just under $5 for the savory croissant and a little over $1 for the donuts. I really want to come back to try their cinnamon rolls, scones, and boba, which all are decently priced too. Other notes: they take credit card, there are a few seats along the glass wall, and you can call in your order for pickup.“
“My wife and I absolutely love this coffee place! Best drinks and service, hands down! We introduced a few friends to Driphouse who live in Gig Harbor, and now when they are in Tacoma they will drive over just to get drinks. So delicious! I cannot recommend them enough. Love, love, love!Kid-friendliness: Our son is always treated with patience when he doesn't know what to order. They are always kind to him.“
“Every time I come here, my experience has been absolutely phenomenal.The atmosphere is created by both patrons and employees and you could just hang all day!The artwork as well as the food capture the eye right away!Ive only ever had their cinnamon roll but it is THE most delicious cinnamon roll ive ever had in my life (and i love cinnamon rolls) it doesnt overwhelm and they are MASSIVE & affordable ❤️We drove all the way from Oregon JUST to get a cinnamon roll :)Give. Me. An. Excuse.My partner and I recommend this place forevermore!!“
“Not only is the the coffee good but the latte art is amazing. Great food and pastries! A great place to bring the Lady on a nice date, I’d pick this place over many around the Pierce county area. Definitely try their egg and bacon sandwich! Yum ?Kid-friendliness: Books and toys“
“I live upstairs and before they were cremellos I’ve avoided this place. I popped in because I saw how delicious everything looked on ig! Omg the Monte cristo smacks! The coffee… top tier. The staff is sooooooooo nice!!! Love that ? I feel like customer service is dead now days. But that’s not the case here. Definitely coming back and telling everyone I know.“
“Out of the 8 drinks we had ordered, just one fell short. The dalgona was pretty much just milk. You could barely taste any coffee. Other than that, the slushes, honeydew milktea as well as all of the taro options they had were amazing. Asian pear smoothies was the star. It was flavorful without being overly sweet. Staff were quick and knowledgeable.“
“Corner lot, drive through, plenty of parking. The girl at the counter was super nice and helpful. The doughnuts oh man they are amazing definitely the best I've had. Crispy on the cake ones with the perfect glaze ratio. The lighter ones are airy. The dough on every one I got taste sooooo good.“
“I’ve been coming to this coffee shop for over 6 years and the Raspberry Truffle (now known as Berry Truffle) never disappoints me. They even shave dried raspberry on top to finish it off. A Family owned place with everything made in house (including growing their own coffee beans), this place has been a staple for me in the south Tacoma area. Do NOT sleep!“
“This was a nice spot downtown. It’s both the type of place people could enjoy a nice evening out and the type of place I could stop in to grab just a regular cup of coffee before heading to my conference. Everyone was super friendly and I could see they are tied in to the community and wanting their customers to feel like regulars.“
“It's a homie kind of place meaning like old school back home the food is good the service is great and it's like family there's no other way to put it than that I used to go about once a week I moved out of state since I retired I'll be back it's been 14 months that's the first place I'm going for breakfast I highly recommend it if you like good old family cafe Atmosphere“
“I absolutely LOVED the pink decor, cutest coffee shop ever! I had the best coffee and an amazing breakfast sandwich that was full of flavor. I highly recommend this shop and they have the kindest staff. Thank you for all of your hard work and the heart that goes into this place! Will definitely be coming back ?“
“I love going to get my coffee here in the mornings! Tiffany is so great! She is so sweet and she is good at what she does! Sometimes she sees me and has my drink ready when I get to the window! Good drinks, good people and good vibes for sure! Thanks for starting my day out with a smile.“
“Magical place. masters brewing the most delightful flavors. I bought 4 bags! but my favorite was the funny little owner who told storys as he brewed our tea and made us feel like special guests.Keep up the good work by having fun in this incredible space.“
“I am not one to leave reviews but I LOVE this place. I get to stop here once every other week on my way to take my son and his friend on an outing. I find myself looking forward to it every time! I have tried several of the sandwiches and the bagels both of which are amazing. I’m not a huge coffee gal but I have tried the matcha tea and the sunrise wellness drink which is AMAZING! I like that this stand has so many different options and everything seems relatively homemade. I’m a picky critic but this is a place I’d recommend!“

“The ambiance is amazing here, with three cozy different buildings next to each other ( there’s a cozy tree house too)Accidentally found this cute coffee shop here even I live not far from here.Friendly staffs with good coffee( I love their bagel!!!) must try“
“This place is amazing! Whenever I bring coffee drinks to friends from here, they are always complimentary. The baristas are top notch friendly. The lovingly tended garden offers a special sense of place when you go through the line on that side during growing season. Highly recommended. You will need to bring cash if you want to tip. (And you will want to tip! ?)“
“Legit. My ginger spice cortado was respectably solid. My girlfriend's gochu/gang hot chocolate with an added espresso shot was amazing. Pastries were solid. Cute, authentic vibe. Really what made it five stars instead of four though was how kind and welcoming the barista was, she made us feel right at home when taking our drink orders. Thank you!“
“Service here is great. The long chats DB is known for us pretty minimal at this one. Lol. It's nice, but I've been to some spots where the small talk has become a full on conversation. The coffee and drinks are delicious! Pro tip: Sweater Weather drink available Al year long. Right now it's my go to.“
“I've been a Dutch Bros fan since I found it in Western Idaho. Superior coffee, excellent service. Of course, like any location, sometimes service can be lacking. But that was not the case in Puyallup by the mall. The girl who helped us out was not only competent, but genuine. She was fast, friendly, and a joy to talk to. Will definitely be going back.“
“Hole in the wall appeal. Ordered bacon and eggs. Hash browns came as threads, never seen them cut so this, which made them super greasy. The eggs were cooked to order. One lady did alot of work, another spent most of the time on her phone talking about finding bar to go dancing. I had the good waitress, who brought this from a 3 to a 4.“
“Wonderful ladies who work here !! Never disappointed with the quality of the drinks I get, ever. And are blessed they are open at 4:30 am because my commute to work starts at 5am and good coffee, early is hard to find. But look no further than, espresso stop “
“Great staff always wearing smiles accompanied with uplifting positive attitudes. Fare prices on just about everything. Even offer milk free smoothies which is a rarity and they don't require you to donate plasma just to get one. Strongly recommend stopping by if you never have.“
“This is the best coffee shop I have ever been too. I was born and raised just up the road ( as have my parents) I've been coming here for close to 30 years as I use to come with my mother.i now get coffee nearly daily here and I absolutely love it.thank you guys for being “
“We were looking for a cute and intimate coffee shop to go to to have a meeting. Coffee Kitchen was just that. It was so cleaned, well designed, and so cozy and intimate. There are a ton of options on the menu it was hard to pick one, but I had the breakfast waffle and an honey almond latte. Both were AMAZING! Absolutely DELICIOUS. I loved it and highly recommend you give it a try.“
“I love Sol Boba!!!!!! I love that they opened a Milton shop! When you walk inside everything is brightly lit, the art is ethereal, you feel like you want to walk down those streets with your delicious Sol Boba in your hand. I recommend the Dalgona latte (sweet, rich, smooth), the Oreo Taro smoothie (perfect combination of boba meets dessert), the Dirty Ube Latte (love how the Ube cream is marries with the coffee with a decadent creaminess), the Strawberry milk (love the real strawberries the syrup they put in) and the Thai tea (a classic!). Definitely recommend!“
“Dam it! I am hooked on the coffee! If a place knows how to roast they definitely have fantastic coffee! I grew up with coffee roasters and they won my heart! Valhalla Blend is so me! Very small but don’t miss this hidden gem! Hoodies are a must to buy!“
“Excellent inviting cafe, friendly staff and delicious food. Kids found this establishment for us to have brunch at before the ice show at Sprinker recreation. They have a market on the opposite side of the restaurant as well. Recommend to dine here, we'll be back.“
“My fiancé ordered the Tuna Melt and loved it. I ordered the Fircrest Club and had no regrets, freakin' delicious! We also ordered coffees prior to the food and the coffees came out super quick, great service all around. The ambiance was comfy and cute. We love this spot“
“Jen and the crew are always amazing. I have been going here for a long time daily and will not go anywhere else.These girls work hard and still have excellent customer service. Prices are fair. Great quality drinks. I love their specials and loyalty card program. Yes they can have a line but that's because they are good. Staff go out of their way to come outside rain, snow, or shine to take orders.“
“Total 90's coffeehouse vibe with used books on a shelf, zines in a rack and groovy book covers under a plexiglass table top. All good. Even better is the coffee (superb) and the pastries (damn!) love this spot. It's super cozy and romantic and reminds me of my youth!“
“The cutest little cozy Cafe Lakewood NEEDED. There's 1 (or possibly 2?) private rooms for groups to chill in, but also a really cozy open area with a fireplace-heater to sit and enjoy your coffee. As a lover of good foam, my lattes have been great so far and the gal always comes around and hands it to me directly, which is very sweet. Love this place, would definitely kick back here with company.“
“Delicious food/drink, kind service and a calm atmosphere. Best coffee shop I’ve been too in a while. Totally suggest to anyone who wants to relax and take their load off with a cup of coffee or pastry of their choice. I will be coming back in the near future.Wheelchair accessibility: Shallow ramp going in and out of the shop. And lower tables for easy wheelchair accessibility.“
“Their teas are very high quality. We are completely hooked! We have tried their herbals, smoked teas, early grey, green teas, and plan to buy more for our road-trip. Excellent gift idea for anyone that enjoys tea. They also have a good selection of For Life brand mugs and teapots.well worth the price for quality.“
“Hands down Manifesto has been the top coffee shop thus far in my life. Moved to hilltop in 2020 and it was right down the street and I went near daily M-F and Katie and the other baristas were always fantastic and made a top notch latte. This is a coffee shop for people who love coffee for what it is, and its inherent flavor. This is not the place to find a sugary Starbucks replica - it’s the kind of place that serves an absolutely magnificent latte or cappuccino, and other no frills options.Their in-house roasted coffee beans are high quality and the flavor unmatched. We moved out of state over a year ago and I still order their coffee beans in a 3lb bag every couple months. I don’t see that ending any time soon. I hope they never go out of business because I would actually cry over it. Manifesto - don’t ever change!“
“I mean this in the most positive way: This place is peak hipster. Like, encyclopedia-reference hipster. Your standard offerings plus unique espresso-alternative options. I tried the mushroom mocha with an added shot, it was very different but good. The barista--I already forgot his name sadly--but he was super friendly and authentic, nice to chat with. Great place. Great merch and local market items as well!“
“I've enjoyed the Espresso Stop in Edgewood since I moved to the area more than 20 years ago! I've never gotten a better cup of coffee anywhere! The girls are always so sweet, smiley & friendly no matter what. I've gotten very spoiled & every Sunday starts with my superman hubby bringing me a cup of something wonderful. Like the caramel, hazelnut, oat milk latte he brought today! Oh my gosh!! (Hmm... new favorite?)“
“If you take a look at my collections, I have made it my mission to rate every Bahn Mi restaurant in Tacoma. I've done almost 20 now. And I'll be straight up this is the best I've gone to. The service, sauces, freshness of the bread and veggies, and portion of meat all contribute to this. Cafe La Vie keeps it trill and y'all know I'll be coming back. 5 stars.“
“I was around the area and decided to stop by for some coffee. My main purpose was to buy some coffee beans. The coffee shop was small but had ample amount of seatings for people to sit and work. They also have a nice display of coffee merch on the counter. As I was about to pay, I looked at the pastry display which looked very appetizing so I decided to get something. Surprisingly they sell Milkvue donuts so I had to grab one to go with my coffee. Overall, a nice place to grab coffee and to people watch. There's plenty of street parking nearby so it wasn't too difficult.“
“The women upfront was very nice and I watched as she had to very nicely confront two teenagers that look like they were going to dine and dash. She did it very respectful and professionally.The Dole whip and the passion guava where my favorite flavors and they were amazing! I still think about them! Love the touch of having games there so you could play while you eat!“
“I tried the mudslide frappe today and it was my first time at this coffee stand. The location is great and ease of getting in and out was great. The code drink was fantastic. The customer service was "meh", barista didn't seem happy or wanting to be there. I would try again and recommend to others.Wheelchair accessibility: Drive up only option no indoor area“
“This place has wrecked me. They have the best coffee and best service. No coffee shop even compares. I feel like Cheers when I’m there and I get the updates on all the cool community events. Gotta stock up on more beans because no other coffee will do.“
“I visited bluebeard coffeeshop today.My overall impression was okay.1. Food: Latte Coffee was a bit too strong to my taste, but Blueberry Scone was pretty good.2. Service was also good, nothing out of ordinary.3. The atmosphere is a bit busy. I wouldn't come to work or study here( too many people, too much noise), but it's a nice spot to just hang out for a little.4. There is no designated parking, so it was hard to park close enough.“
“This is my local coffee shop. I come and sit and enjoy my cuppa almost every day. Staff is wonderful, friendly and caring. Sometimes orders take longer than at other places, but it is always done right. They also make a lot of their ingredients from scratch (the caramel for example).“
“Every visit to this spot has been amazing very cool service from staff an owner. Very helpful with drink ideas an they even have helpful ideas for protein an CBD drinks etc. Check them out you will find a great treat ? when you visit...Dietary restrictions: Protein, sugar free good favors ?, real fruit opinions for any an all kinds of drinks... stop by an ask them to hook you up with the newest vibes for drinks they will not disappoint.“
“My go-to spot. Great coffee and prices, friendly baristas. Small lot and can get crowded waiting but 2 windows keeps things moving pretty quickly. Far better than starbucks as far as taste and quality. Punch cards for free coffee w/ repeat business. No clue why people pay for starbucks' overpriced burnt garbage when places like this exist. Bring your pooch they give whipped cream/milkbone pupp-uccinos!“
“I forgot how exactly I came across Botanical Brew, but nonetheless it is a great place to grab a fix of coffee, tea, matcha, or energy drink! My sister and I were in a matcha mood that day, so we each got a different matcha drink that they curated; Rose Colored Glasses (vanilla matcha with strawberries) and Mak Daddy Matcha (coconut milk matcha with coconut cold foam). It is located in the parking lot of Saar's Market Place, which is a pretty big parking lot.“
