I'm that unique beast- an adult who hates coffee. Friends always want to meet at coffee shops, so I spend my fair share of time in coffee shops anyway. I met a friend here recently, and it was a great experience. I chose this based on location and reviews. When we arrived, it was pretty busy, but we were able to snag a few seats in the window. The hot chocolate was good, and my friend enjoyed their coffee drink. We got vanilla and chocolate croissants. I wasn't a huge fan of them (especially not a fan of the chocolate filling), but my friend liked them. The vibe is cool, and the location is great. read more

Bit of a wait to get food/coffee here even when there isn't a line but their pastries, sandwiches and coffee are all of super quality and the prices are comparable to other places in the area. Lots of seating, decent amount of parking in the area and good service. Overall, great if you're in the area. read more

Everything I've had is amazing and the stuff is SO friendly and nice and always recommends new and exciting things. Love the rosemary fancy sweet, unlike any coffee I've ever had. Love the homemade syrups and attention to detail read more

Beware Coffee is a fabulous coffee shop! My wife got rosemary fantasy sweet latte that was one of the best lattes ever! The shot was perfectly pulled, and the milk was foamed nicely. It was good to the last drink. Our friends enjoyed an iced Matcha Partridge that sported pear and cardamom flavors. The pastries also looked delicious. The ambience is completely unique, warm, and beautiful. It features creative yarn tapestries with unique designs. We had a wonderful time with our friends and enjoyed our drinks. read more

Walking into this coffee shop felt like walking into a northern California/Arizona coffee place! The decor and the colors are lite and very welcoming. It felt like every single part of the construction of this place was handpicked. Hard to believe this place is in Tacoma! We ordered 2 lattes and they were both excellent. Everyone seemed friendly and as they didn't mind working there. read more

Steve and I have been keeping an eye on this space for a while to see if any activity was going to go further with a business opening here. It took a while but things came together and lo and behold a new coffee shop sprung up! Since then we've been going here quite a bit with enjoying their coffee drinks. We feel like the menu is pretty unique with it's drinks along with coffee drinks you would typically see. Some notable drinks we've purchased here are the Chai Tea, Dandelion Coffee, Green Tea Latte and the totally awesome Ginger Lime Fizz (now discontinued unfortunately). As we have gone here over the course of a few weeks we have found pastries are something to indulge upon now which what we have had so far it's been very good. Always a friendly place and a bright, warm atmosphere coming to Beware is a refreshing change of pace and we are more than happy to add them to our coffee shop rotation list for coffee shops deserving frequent visits. read more

Amazing! Looks unassuming from outside but when you step inside, you are transported into the cutest pastel coffee shop ever! I had a chai latte and my mother had a ginger tea and both were shockingly phenomenal. We also had a molasses cookie and a bacon Parmesan scone and they were out of this world. I can't wait to come back and try to coffee next time read more

New independent coffee in the Tacoma area? Heck yea! I got my standard plain latte, and it was pretty dang perfect. Milk was frothed expertly (as opposed to over heated, which happens at most sub-elite tier espresso shops) and whatever beans they are using are high quality. The coffee was not over roasted / acridy. Great espresso and milk flavor served at a perfect temperature. I do not like my coffee drinks scalding hot, FWIW. For our coffees we were offered "for here or to go" cups, which I appreciate because a lot of other coffee shops in the area put everything in a paper cup. I know it's extra work washing dishes, but I swear a coffee tastes better out of a ceramic mug than a paper cup. Offering of pastries to buy as well. Prices are super reasonable South end and Eastside are lacking massively in really good coffee, so this is a welcome addition to the area. We will be regulars for sure! read more

don't know why I haven't written a review yet. After trying out so many coffee shops in Tacoma, Seattle & Bellevue area, I always keep coming back to Beware for great quality of drinks and pastries! Everytime a friend drive from up north or visiting from out of town, I always recommend this place. Their coffee and matcha latte are soooo yummy & the best in the area so far. Their ceramic cups collections are so unique & cute, I'm always excited to see which cup I will get for my order. Hope they will stay for a long long time. read more

OMG finally found a great cup of coffee worth their price tag. Not to say it was expensive but I don't like to pay $$ for bad coffee. The latte I ordered was hot, creamy, nice foam layer and subtly sweet. The apple turnover was a warm yet crisp croissant. read more

This sweet spot offers a welcoming environment. It is my first time here but I've driven by it several times. Many locals enjoy coming here. It is walking distance from many neighborhoods. The scone was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. The coffee was so good as well. I love the personalized cup. As I mentioned, it's my first time here. There was lots of street parking and the staff also made me feel welcome and were able to answer any questions I had. I came on a Saturday which made this spot very busy. Families love to bring their young children here. So if you're looking for a quiet study place, this might not be for you. I had to use my AirPods to drown out some of the noise from the kids. It could've also been that it was a Saturday so maybe come during the week when it is less busy. Overall great experience, yummy treats, and welcoming environment. read more

Got a cappuccino and cruffin. Both were delicious. The cruffin was incredibly tasty. I think about it often Loved the casual and warm table and window seating.

Really saves on unnecessary waste and feels right when having your coffee read more

Been here twice now. I love 3.5 hours away from here and I come every time I'm in Tacoma. Some of the best coffee I've every tasted, and arguably the coolest theme of the place. Ask the owner and he'll tell you what inspired him, it may make you live it even more. read more

We moved here 6 months ago and as someone who worked in specialty coffee for years prior, I was eager to find the best shops in SeaTac area. I've tried upward of 20 shops and Beware is by far the best so I've made it my home. Smooth, consistent, and flavorful coffee (they use herkimer and IMO do it far better than herkimer does). Pastries and syrups are made with high quality ingredients, and matcha and other teas are organic. You can taste the quality in anything you try here, it is all SO good. Ambiance is nice too - it's cute, artsy and relaxing. They always have great music playing, and the baristas are genuinely kind. They're doing everything right! read more

Great coffee and food in a very cute location. Excited to have a good Coffee Shop on the Eastside

This is my favorite coffee shop in town so far. I was here during a festival when it was line out the door busy, so it took forever, but the coffee was worth the wait. Despite the crazy rush, the service was great and everyone maintained a friendly attitude. The pastries were also delicious, I shared a few with my friends. I'm really interested to go back and try their smokey house made syrup. The shop itself is also cozy and welcoming with seating options that fit my very wide butt. I just wish it was open later. read more

This little gem took a long time opening up-- but it finally has and we have been there twice so far (since we live close enough to walk) and we have really enjoyed the place. The coffee is good, and the pastries are from macrina bakery and are to die for!! The owner is usually there behind the counter and very approachable and friendly. The shop has several pieces of original art and it's very open and bright inside, roomy, and a delightful green color on the outside! Only open wed- sun tho, but we look forward to our next coffee outing here again soon. read more

Awesome staff. Best peppermint tea in the state, nay, country, nay, world, multiverse?? Get a lot of writing done here too :)

The coffee, food, and staff here is amazing. The owner did a fantastic job rebuilding the inside from the ground up and to help revive the McKinley neighborhood. Once you walk in, you're in a different world. I much appreciate his effort and the service that is brought to the neighborhood. This is hands down the best coffee in Tacoma. I will be coming to this establishment more often. Please support this business. read more
