I've heard a lot of good things about Classic Coffee, both coffee and food options. I always pass by on my way to work and decided to stop by and give them a try as I was in need of caffeine for a long shift ahead. I pulled up and looked over their menu display that is posted outside and drove up to the window. The girl working was extremely friendly and happy to answer my questions about what was in the drink. She explained the Hazelwood Hug consisted of hazelnut, dark and white chocolate - which sounded amazing. I asked what cold foam would go good on top and she recommended hazelnut. The drink was great! I was worried it would be overly sweet but it really wasn't. From the unique drink options, convenience of it being a small stand alone drive through shop and the friendly/attentive service, I'll definitely be back! read more

Always met with great service and coffee here! My kids also enjoy their oatmeal selection and their bagel sandwiches are amazing!

Was looking for a place to stop by to get coffee before work that was not a main chain. Classic Coffee did not disappoint. I love the customizations available and the friendly service. I got a cold brew with white chocolate mocha sauce and pistachio cold foam that was amazing! The drink selection is great! The breakfast burrito was also delicious. The only thing would be to be mindful of the lines, there are two windows and can get busy. read more

Delicious breakfast burrito, a tasty mocha, and friendly service! This stand has several vegetarian food options (which was a saving grace for me since the Legendz burger place next door does not!) and reasonable prices, but can have longer lines partially due to the parking lot configuration. read more

I was feeling a letting light headed after my lab visit yesterday morning so I decided to stop by classic coffee and grab something to eat. I decided to get an iced white mocha and a breakfast burrito. They offer vegetarian and bacon, egg and cheese. I opted for the bacon burrito. The baristas were super friendly and had my coffee ready very quick. It was perfect. Not overly sweet and the coffee tasted great. The burrito was pressed and tasted great. Warm inside and crispy on the outside. I was very happy and feeling better to get back on the road. I'll be visiting them again next time I'm in the area. read more

Holy Moly are their coffees fantastic!!! They have non-dairy options. If you are a fan of Scooters, you will love this place. Great service, and quick! We got the cinnamon roll latte and the white rabbit. read more

I love coffee and always try new places when traveling. This little stand was close to my Airbnb and had amazing coffee. Got there pretty early every morning and had excellent service. My go to drink is a double shot with cold foam and typically sugar free flavors and they did so well. Definitely recommend! read more

My favorite coffee stand in all of Tacoma! I have been coming here since visiting my sister in 2017 and now that I live here it's the first and only place I'll go to-- I stay loyal. The girls are so sweet, fast, and friendly! read more

The girls working here are absolutely sweethearts. Maddie literally the best and knows what to get me every time read more

Coffee was fine. The wait is long and good luck trying to maneuver your vehicle in the lot. Also, they may want to update their website that states Friday through Sunday they offer donuts from Lakewood's Original House of Donuts. I asked if they had donuts and the barista said no. I really love to support small business, but with the wait, I'd much rather go to Starbucks and not have to wait 20 plus minutes to get a coffee. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Such friendly workers and the best coffee/food. I ordered the hazelwood mocha with foam and a breakfast burrito. The cutest little drive thru! The best coffee and food I've had in a while. To bad I'm only traveling through or else I'd be here everyday. read more

Classic Coffee Drive-Thru & Café - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This is a busy street and this is a busy coffee stand--they've got a perfect spot and they make the most of it. I can't comment on the snacks, just the coffee. The menu is extensive--virtually every kind of coffee you'd expect must be on this list. I had an Americano; 20 ounces for 3 bucks after tax. I nursed that thing for over an hour, and it tasted good throughout, staying nice and warm. I wouldn't say it was the most intensely flavorful coffee I've had, just a basic roasty profile, but it was very tasty. The staff here are the usual adorable friendly cute young girls. They move quickly, they ask the right questions without over-chatting. They make a decent cup. I would definitely come back here. read more

This little drive through coffee shop has quickly become one of my favorites. The girls working there are all super nice and make some great coffee. Prices are also very reasonable. I will continue to stop by whenever I need my coffee fix. read more

This is my goto and coffee stand!!! Everyone who works here is so sweet & when I pull up the usually have already stated on my drink... because I get the same thing every day lol. But the prices are reasonable and the drinks are always consistent. read more

One of my new favorite drive throughs in Tacoma after early morning football practicel. The prices are great, especially compared to Seattle! The Americano is my go to and it comes out great each time, plus the girls are super friendly. read more

I am in town from LA visiting my family for a week and I have become a regular here for my morning pick me up ( and to warm up bc it is effing freezing here!). This place is UH MAZING! DRINKS: the decaf, soy, white chocolate mocha is my thing! Unlike the white mocha at Starbucks, this one is SO creamy and savory. My sister loves this place bc it offers like two dozen sugar free flavors INCLUDING sugar free chai! Her favorite right now is the sugar free almond. They also have fruit smoothies, ice cream milkshakes, and italian sodas. FOOD: Being vegetarian I had the veggie omlett bfast sandwich which has egg, cheese, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions on an english muffin for $3. It was SOO nice to have a veg option on the go that was tasty, nutritous and reasonably priced. They have all the normal baked goods that you would expect-scones, muffins, and cookies. For lunch they have sandwiches and bagel dogs (gross bc I am vegetarian...but if thats your idea of a good time...). SERVICE: The baristas are SO friendly. After my first time there , Lilia (if I remember correctly) remembered my drink! They are fast, friendly and accurate! It is a drive thru stand so no bathroom. PERKS: After you purchase 9 drinks, either the 10th is free OR you can get a free carwash ($7 value). The best thing...they will file your card for you so you do not need to keep track of it. It is a local shop owned by a husband and wife team; the wife runs the coffee shop and the husband runs the adjacent carwash. Mos def check this place out! m-f 530-5 a6-5 s8-2 read more

My coffee was delicious and I would have left a tip but the barista had her big ole schnauzer hanging out over her mask, so no tippy.

Not a bad little drive thru coffee hut. The times that I have been here service has been friendly and prompt. I liked the mocha's and chai's here. I got the Spiced Chai and it was good but there was a fairly thick residue of powder on the bottom. Maybe that is what a spiced chai is supposed to be but I am more accustomed to the liquid chai mixes that other places use and that I use at home. Still it had a good flavor to it. I got their waffle here for a sweet snack and that tasted very good! It got plenty of TLC during it's creation and had a great cinnamon taste to it! read more

Well the coffee was ok, nothing special. My low rating is for the dark hair girl that waited on us. She was wearing what we thought was a tube top, but her hair was covering the one thin shoulder strap and so much make up. Ok, so if that's her normal, fine, not the issue until you combine those with the fact that she leaned on the counter in a very provocative manner towards my husband. My husband thought she was asking for money to pay, so he handed her a $10 dollar bill. She took it, then came back to the window to tell him they were only accepting credit cards, but did not offer to return the $10...so our impression was she thought the ten bucks was her tip for a $4 bill. She clearly was flaunting herself in hope of a bigger tip. We will pass next time if this is acceptable to this establishment. read more

Nicole is a super awesome barista! She's always so welcoming and nice! She makes drinks exactly how customers want them! I came by yesterday and she made me this BOMB redbull Italian soda! (ps. As a former barista myself I can say this place is great for your caffeine needs) read more

Mediocre coffee drinks. The previous owner with the old name made way better drinks. The only reason I stop by is if I'm short on time to work. Probably the worst iced mocha breve I've ever had just bland. Plus the straw doesn't even stick out the top more than a quarter inch? Get longer straws for larger drinks! read more

Great cold brew! I appreciated the baristas all wearing masks too! My daughter wanted a "pink smoothie" and the barista was able to translate that toddler order into a toddler approved drink. 5 stars for saving me from a tantrum! read more

This place has the best coffee I go here every time for my coffee they always make it the same great experience every time thank you guys

Decent coffee but one of their employees is killing the vibe. I pulled up to the stand at 5:58 with a closing time of 6pm and was told I could not be served with a bit of attitude (this isn't the first time this particular barista just seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed that day...). I loved this stand and was a regular but they lost me. 3/10 times this place knocks it out of the park. Best service is done in the morning here. read more

I got a matcha green tea frappe (my fav anywhere I go!) for lunch. It was delicious and reminded me alot of a coffee shop closer to home. The only downfall was that it was almost double the price. Same great taste as the coffee shop by my house, but more expensive. I'd still come back when on work days, because the barista was very nice and made my drink super quick! read more

This place has the best coffee ever! Super quick service and the girls working there are so super nice. I am always sad when I need a coffee fix and am to far away to go here! Nothing else compares. Oh and I just had the pumpkin pie latte. Super delish! read more

This is my go-to stand and I visit everyday. Not only is the coffee great, but having the same girls that know what you drink is the best. Recently though...this isn't the case. I understand Tiarra and Zia are gone which I absolutely hate, but Mary was moved to the new store. This is very unfair to the regulars that have been coming to this stand for many years. Can we at least get Mary back??? read more

This is the BEST Espresso stand in Tacoma. I have been going to this stand since it was first built. The Girls are so amazing and cheerful. I drive all the way across town specifically to get my morning Mocha here, passing at least five or six other stands. The service is always fast and friendly. Prices are extremely reasonable and they have a prepay system that works great for me. I have truly enjoyed the years of service this establishment has given me and I will continue to remain a loyal customer. I am all for keeping the small businesses in business. Giants like Starbucks and Tullys dont really deserve my money. read more

Serious for my first time getting breakfast here it was amazing. I loved how sweet the lady was and how quick she was. She didn't mind explaining what certain drinks were. And the bagel. I could of had another one. That's how good it was. read more

I almost always have a great experience here, but unfortunately I'm only able to give 4 stars because of the awful experience I just had. I understand that the stand was busy, but when the barista made my drinks with regular milk instead of almond like I had asked, I asked her to remake them. She made me feel like an ass immediately and then proceeded to make me a completely different drink than I asked for.. tried to get 2 quad shot iced almond milk lattes and instead got a caramel mocha almond/hemp latte with only 2 shots. The line was long and since she was being so rude I just decided to leave. My girlfriend tasted the drinks (which were gross) when I got home and was not having it so she drove back and had the girl remake them but unfortunately she also had a bad experience with the barista. The barista made her feel like and ass and put all of the blame on me. I've managed an espresso stand before and I understand how the car wash might make it hard to hear the order, but why would you not just repeat the order back to me or ask me to repeat It? I hate leaving reviews like this and literally every other barista that works there makes me love going there - but now I'm going to consider other places just to avoid running into her again :( Customer Service 101: don't be rude, especially when the customer is trying really hard to be kind and respectful. Edit: The owner and a manager (Amber) reached out to me and made me feel so much more comfortable about everything. Not only were they very understanding and apologetic but I truly believe that they really care about every single person to come through here. If you ever have a bad experience here just know that if you vocalize it they will make absolutely sure that you are taken care of in the best way possible and will leave you positive that you're going to keep coming back. Thank you so much for reaching out, y'all are so, so sweet!! read more

4 stars for service - 3 stars for quality - 2 stars for consistency, and 1 star for location. The service is FANTASTIC. I think that their coffee is served lukewarm, I don't always remember to ask them to turn the heat up a little bit, and sometimes when I ask for it to be just a little warmer, they burn it. I'm a coffee fanatic, and I know that coffee should be served at 155-175 degrees F, my average cup of coffee here has been 127-132 F, only a few times has it been above 140F and the heat does not hold well, it gets cold fast. The coffee flavor is good for a coffee stand, it's definitely one the of the better stands in town. Their specialty drinks can be a sugar overload sometimes, depending on who makes your drink. I think that is one of my biggest hold-ups about this place is it's lack of consistency, it can really be hit and miss. Because they serve food it can take a while to get through the line, and it's a pain to get in and out of this place. read more

Great independent coffee place . They have some of their own signature drinks as well as the standards. The ladies are always friendly and know how to make coffee. The drive thru can back up a bit but it's wort it and supporting a local business too. Nice part about it is you can swing over to the car wash after you get your drink read more

Good mocha but a long wait... Pretty standard coffee hut for the area, much better than the large chains but there is some stiff competition in the area. They have a great little selection of pastries and sweets too. read more

I would say I frequently come to this location for coffee more than any other place, the baristas are friendly and engaging, my favorite is the hug, I was just there on December 1st, 10 min. before closing, I was told that the espresso machine was being cleaned or something to that, but I couldn't get a hot espresso drink because of that, I definitely didn't want a cold drink I was somewhat disappointed. I found it odd to have a business with 10 min. to closing and I couldn't get what I came for, it was like she was focusing on getting out of there verses doing business. read more

The girls there are always so sweet and friendly and my delicious tropical rockstar mimosa is what makes me look forward to my commute into work! read more

This is my favorite place to get coffee- the girls here are the best- I always get great service from every one of them! And the coffee is always great! read more

My boyfriend and I lived in Tacoma for about 6 months and this was our daily coffee joint. We would go every day together or separately to get our coffees! The girls always remembered our drinks and even knew our dog by name! I meant to write a review the VERY first day I stopped here. I knew I was going to be a regular after the first time. The coffee is always good and the service is always great! I'm sad we just moved to Bothell! I'll miss this place and the people! We will definitely stop by if we are ever in Tacoma again. read more

Love..love LOVE this place! Best coffee in town! Always friendly and awesome reward program. Buy 9 coffee and get one free or a carwash!

Love this place!! Best coffee in town and the barista Emmy is amazing, always so friendly and helpful! Thanks Hazelwood!
