42 Best Cafes in Tacoma

“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.“

“This place was awesome! The best customer service, great tasting everything. Such a great atmosphere. I’ll be a regular. I’m just mad I’ve lived so close and didn’t know about it sooner!“

“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...“

“Best juice and smoothie bar ever! We won't go anymore else after discovering this place. Service is excellent and the drinks are amazing!! Only wish we would have found this place sooner.“

“Tacoma’s best kept secret. Want a small quaint warm and cleanest cafe coupled with the best breakfast burritos ( and other meals) in town? Unbelievably good. You can select in burrito the fresh veggies you want and meat type and no cheap potato filler either! And love the carefully made white chocolate mocha I have ordered each time is tasty and hot! Service with polite 3 ladies there. About 6-7 tables and fireplace setting. If you want a nice place to talk with someone too treat them to your secret place: Sofi’s Corner! Rarely would I give a 5 star but this place deserves 6! Go early too. 7 am (8 Saturday & Sunday), to 4 pm. Lunches are super too w many selections. 6450 Tacoma Mall Blvd, Tacoma, WA 98409 in same building as McCauslands fine men’s clothing..“

“Cute vibes and lots of seating. Working in the neighborhood and stopped here to get a break from the heat. Drinks are priced really really well and absolutely delicious! Staff are also kind and welcoming.

From families to people working on their computers this space is welcoming to people looking for a short stop or a longer visit. Plus there’s extra parking to the north!

Absolutely suggest coming by.“

“I enjoyed the BLT, very tasty!“

“Amazing place, tasty food, friendly smiles. Love this Cafe!“

“Wow, what an improvement over the prior owners...These young ladies serve up some amazing fresh wholesome pastries and my mocha latte with almond milk and cinnamon was so delicious... there's plenty of parking🤗. Definitely deserves the five star rating🤗“

“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!“

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

“First order: I was really excited. The portions felt on par with what I would expect for the cost, and most importantly, the meals seemed fresh. The flavors were really good and packaged well. As someone who hates leftovers, I really enjoyed my first order. I would have given 4/5 stars.

My second order this week, not so much. (Maybe I ordered the wrong things this week). The breakfast portions were small (I was still hungry afterward), and the quality didn’t feel the same as the week before. The scrambled eggs with asparagus turned the eggs slimy and brown—not the most appealing. Dinners during the second week were decent but included fillers, like what appeared to be canned green beans. More roasted broccoli would have felt better, in my opinion.

So it depends on the week, I guess. I already ordered for next week, so we’ll see. I’ll update my review if the quality improves. I would order again for convenience (I’m currently postpartum, so having premade meals is super helpful!), but for this price point, I would expect the quality to stay consistent or improve.“

“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🖤“

“my favorite coffee stand. the biscuits and gravy is my favorite but all of their food is super good. excellent drinks as well best lavender latte I've had.“

“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!“

“Absolute baddie named Dori has been serving me the best coffee for the past 4 years. If your ever having a bad day I would recommend stoping by divs and not only getting a great drink but meeting my girl Dori. She radiates good energy like the sun.“

“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!“

“One of the most filling breakfasts I've had since going to the south. Great portion sizes and every meal has a wonderful consistent flavor profile. The espresso martini wasnt overpowering and the complimentary cucumber water really took it over the top for me. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing brunch spot.“

“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 🌟“

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

“My kids and I were craving for boba. Our favorite boba place closed months ago so I googled this one and said why not this place. I was not disappointed. My son loves mango slushie and not really into boba. He rated it as 8/10 because it DID NOT taste watery. My daughter had the taro boba and was very happy with the amount of boba in the drink. They have a good portion/ratio and that makes it worth the price. I tried the strawberry taro but not really a fan. I will definitely coming back to try other flavors.“

“Yesterday we tried the dirty soda with Root Beer, Caramel and Irish Cream. It was phenomenal! We stopped and got one and then we stopped again on the way home so my husband could try it. Please make these a permanent menu item.“

“My typical order is the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The grilled cheese reminds me of the classic grilled cheese from my childhood, and the American cheese they use tastes very similar to Kraft. The workers are always so friendly and recognize their regulars, which makes the experience even better. Love them!“

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

“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.“

“A huge shoutout to The Museum of Glass! We can’t thank you enough for your amazing support of Norpoint Soccer Club’s Annual Fundraising Auction. Your generosity is making a real difference in the lives of kids in our community, giving them the chance to enjoy soccer and providing access to better equipment. We’re so grateful for your kindness and support—you truly are the best!“

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

“cool place. friendly customer service. the food is great!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“A classic diner with all day breakfast and tasty American staples. Serves mostly older clients which makes for a quiet and peaceful atmosphere making it perfect for both relaxing solo dining and casual weekend lunch with friends. Lovely deserts that I'd recommend even if you're only getting them to go.“

“my favorite coffee stand. the biscuits and gravy is my favorite but all of their food is super good. excellent drinks as well best lavender latte I've had.“

“Best hot chocolate ever!!!!“

“very good drinks and nice employees first time there we like the art stuff“

“Friendly & Personal service. The drink menu is great and the guys always offer a suggestion. Also, if your in at the right time, one young man will be singing his heart out to whatever music is playing.“

“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.....“

“My wife and sister in laws favorite!“

“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“

“I had an excellent dining experience there the evening of 2-7-26 by myself! Jordan is amazing and went above and beyond to take care of me and often checked on me. Just what you would expect at a restaurant! Amazing clam chowder, and calamari. Prices seemed slightly high but were more than fair for the large portions! I will come back here! Everything about this location of EQC after the remodel is SO amazingly improved in so many ways! A+++“
