“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.“

“We have lived in several places and have tried lots of places here and elsewhere that sold banh mi sandwiches but these are the best banh mi sandwiches we have had! We think they might make their own buns because they are so very tasty and just as good as the fresh baguettes we had when we lived in France! The sandwich ingredients are fresh and flavorful and we especially love the wonderful paté they include on them, unless you tell them you are vegetarian or vegan. They make the paté themselves and it is also as delicious as any we used to have in France! We like their rice bowls too. If you haven’t been to the “Toast Mi”…located in Lacey…we highly recommend seeking it out and giving it a try. If you like banh mi sandwiches, you will be happy that you did!“

“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!“

“bomb big an I mean big sandwiches. second time having my husband pick up our order. talk about good. if you love sandwiches this is the place to go. think I'm playing when I say big, just you wait an see. you will thank me later🖤“

“The best staff ever, and super yummy eats! Definitely recommend! 😋“

“This is a perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon. The indoor space is spacious and inviting and the outdoor area is really well put together. I love the view of the fountain and being able to watch the golfers. The service has always been great every time I’ve gone. The baristas are attentive and friendly. I’ll be back!“

“The chips were on the thinner side which I like. I was nearly falling asleep at any moment after a long day, and the chips alone seemed to be just the fuel that I needed to make me feel much better! The salsa was also nice. I liked the consistency that was the right combination between smooth and chunky. I also thought it was a good amount of spiciness, and I didn't even ask if they had a spicier option like I do a lot of the time.“

“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...“

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

“I ordered the chicken spinach avocado on sour dough 😋 I can't express how delicious this sandwich was. I love this place great food and people 10 out 5 🌟“

“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!“

“They are super nice and very attentive to the orders , I love the cali chicken press and it’s always a great sandwich for lunch and it’s only like 12-14$ so that pretty affordable compared to other sandwich’s in Tacoma. The baristas are very knowledgeable and can make custom drinks if you ask , the checkout gives you a cost breakdown before you pay so it’s not confusing or anything , its a great local spot that deserves more attention“

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

“best cappuccino and cake good severs good vibes and clans and tide the best very been for my birthday we come back again ty“

“The Grilled Chicken, which was accompanied by broccoli, was surprisingly moist and very tasty. My wife enjoyed her half-sandwich of grilled cheese and the cup of TAM Coconut Black Bean Soup. The hostess/server was friendly and helpful, and price for our mid-day meal was reasonable.“

“Great place. Nice security. Fun bartenders. Great DJ’s on Friday and Saturday.“

“Glad we stumbled on this hidden spot in the neighborhood. Not sure how we missed it before. The owner was great, took the time to share some history and made me feel welcome. We grabbed the French dip and chicken pot pie to go, and both were outstanding. Honestly better than expected. Next time my wife and I will definitely sit down and eat inside. The place has a really cool vibe with a lot of character and history on display. Hopefully as word gets out and they get busier, they can keep up the same level of quality and service I experienced.“

“Love this place! Everything I've tried is delicious, staff is always friendly, and the view is unbeatable. My favorite item is the veggie burrito. Just an FYI you don't need a ticket to the museum of glass to enter (I was a little unsure about this before going). Definitely check it out!!“

“I attended an event the Tacoma Chapter NAACP held at the Jazzy's cafe in Tacoma. This was my first time at this establishment. The event was well attended by NAACP members from Alaska, Oregon and Washington. DJ TV Lee a well known DJ from Washington provided music. The establishment is small but everyone had a good time. This is a nice place to have lunch maybe dinner and drinks. Recommend people check it out. Employees very professional as well as the owner.“

“Best hot chocolate ever!!!!“

“My husband and I have been eating at Nordstrom's Cafe for years. The food is always great and service is usually good. We feel the quality of the food and the clean, updated interior warrants the higher food prices. However, after shopping the Anniversary sale my husband and I went to lunch at Nordstrom's and we both were disappointed that the Cafe is now using paper napkins and not cloth napkins. I know it's not a big deal to some but it feels like another Nordstrom's downgrade. Just like losing the piano player and the customer service center/gift wrap. Remember those beautiful silver boxes with the bows? Or how every clerk walked around the counter to hand you your Nordstrom bag. Those days are gone....we find ourselves shopping there less.....“

“I love Tacoma Java!! The girls are always friendly and go out of their way to make sure we have a wonderful experience! Mallori always remembers our drinks and always has a smile on her face! Highly recommend checking this coffee stand! 5 star service every single time we stop by!“

“great coffee & calm atmosphere“

“I love the local personal touch! The flowers and gift exceeded my expectations, plus excellent service. Rhapsody is my go-to florist now.“

“The place was an aesthetic vibe and a simplistic entry.
I love how the workers were nice and made the order quick. I bought the Golden Hour and the Brown Sugar Milk and they both tasted delicious! The Golden Hour was sweet and the mango flavor really stands out.“

“Great environment, even greater food. The couple that owns the shop is very kind. A lot of my classmates go here as well, it's very convenient! My favorite is the Caprese melt! Making your lunch a meal is definitely worth the extra money.“

“Food was delicious. Will definitely be ordering here again“

“Love this restaurant!! Excellent food, service, atmosphere...staff makes you feel so welcome...feels like you are eating in their beautifully decorated home!!!“

“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.“

“Kandace was our server and she was terrific. Got all the orders exactly right, very friendly.
I had German sausage and eggs. Delicious and perfectly cooked. The bisquits are great.
Appreciated the handicap parking right out front. A great experience.“

“I ordered the tteokbokki and halgatteok, and it was delicious! I love the variety in what they serve and all the different delicious things you can get. However the service was definitely questionable?.. it felt slow and sometimes you'd ask for something and they'd make you feel like dumb for asking I don't know. overall service is a bit slow and unprofessional but the food is delicious and I'll definitely be coming back regardless! Super good“

“Nice quiet quick place for a sit down dinner. Intersection interpretations of popular Chinese food. We dined in and the waitress was awesome. Super friendly and knew the menu offering good advice for what to have. Ended up with great seafood. Worth checking out and getting dinner there. I do recommend reservations as they get busy fast“
