Curran feels like exactly what a neighborhood coffee shop should be. Tucked into a cute corner spot in Old Town Tacoma, it's bright, welcoming and always seems to have the perfect mix of regulars who clearly come in every day and new people who wandered past the storefront and had to see what was inside. The staff is incredibly friendly, the menu feels refined without being overcomplicated, and I already know what I'm ordering when I walk through the door: the Gemini Latte. It's my go-to and always the drink I recommend to someone visiting for the first time. There's something really special about a café that feels like it genuinely belongs to its neighborhood, and Curran absolutely does. Get the Gemini. read more

The cutest corner coffee shop! Curran Coffee felt like a place straight out of a storybook. It was the coziest spot with the friendliest baristas! There was plenty of seating inside and out. You also get a nice view of the water just around the corner. A dream! I was recommend Magic Hour which was a former house special not currently on the menu. It featured notes of coconut and toffee- soooo yums! read more

Cute little corner coffee shop with a fun menu. I stopped by on a busy Saturday, but the line moved quickly. The staff was super friendly and even made small talk despite the rush. I ordered the Limelight and it was so refreshing after a long walk along the water-bright, vibrant, and a great boost to keep me going. I wish I didn't already have lunch plans because the pastries look amazing. Expect me to be back whenever im in the area. read more

Cutest coffee shop in Tacoma. Expect a line out the door that will move quickly. Some quick breakfast and snack bites and a great selection of classic and seasonal coffee and tea options. Limited seating so take it to go and walk along the beautiful waterfront. 10/10 spiced chai tea latte - best one in the city. read more

Amazing drinks as always. My kiddo likes to walk over for a beverage once in a while. Sometimes for herself and sometimes to get me a drink. The last time she went she dropped some money. It was a bummer but we figured oh well. She went back to get me a cup of coffee today. Lo and behold the gals had found the money and set it aside for her. Wow what an unexpected experience. Keep going and support this local business. They are phenomenal. Thanks so much. Yay Tacoma. read more

Ordered the iced garden party and oh my god. Possibly one of my favorite matches in Tacoma/anywhere. The berry scone was also good but not great tbh which is fine. The vibe is so cute and very cozy and the service was friendly and quick. Super happy for Jordan Curran. read more

Fantastic specialty drinks! The cafe is very cute but a little small. The location makes up for the small size by having a park and plenty of outdoor space at the end of the block to hang out and overlook the Tacoma waterfront. read more

Great cappuccino (8/10) at Curran Coffee, with very friendly, easy-to-talk-to staff. It's connected to the neighboring bar, so there's plenty of seating and a relaxed, spacious feel. read more

Curran Coffee - Front counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I love Curran Coffee! I'm so glad I found this coffee shop during my time in Tacoma as this place was the perfect way to start my week-long conference. Curran Coffee is a delightful coffee shop in north Tacoma, with the friendliest staff and charming location. I wanted to find a coffee spot on the way to the University of Puget Sound where my conference was from the hotel I was staying, and fortunately, Curran Coffee was there for me. After trying Curran Coffee for the first time, I ended up visiting again for my coffee and breakfast run as it ended up being better than the other Tacoma coffee spots I tried. Located in north Tacoma in the cutest neighborhood, it definitely has that local, neighborhood vibe. In fact, every time I visited Curran Coffee, the baristas recognized many of the other patrons who were clearly frequent customers and locals, and would chat with them about everything. I love these kind of businesses where the staff and community members have formed a friendship! The coffee is good with many inventive drinks and pastries from the local Three Hearts bakery in Tacoma. I ordered the Taurus drink once and ended up getting it every time I visited. It's a dirty vanilla chai with chocolate and macadamia, which is one of my favorite combinations. Also for breakfast, one of their only savory pastries they offer here is a ham and swiss croissant from Three Hearts. And I'm not a ham fan, but this was one of the best croissants I've had! It was a great breakfast that I ordered each time I visited Curran. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my go-to coffee shop. But it was awesome to have found this during my week in Tacoma, for some much-needed coffee and a pastry to start the day. Thank you, Curran! read more

Delicious and great staff. Customer service is really amazing, Audrey was nice enough to make my dogs some pup cups alongside my human order. I love their unique drinks (classic ones are delish too) and the pastries are great. Inside can be pretty warm on hot days but the outdoor seating is always an option. read more

So far this has been the best coffee shop I have tried in the Tacoma area. I am visiting from SoCal and would consider myself a coffee snob and this place did it for me! Amazing flavors in my latte (I ordered the Gemini - which happens to also be my zodiac sign), and the coffee was great. I ordered a lemon-cake pastry which was recommended to me from one of the barista's, it was OK. I really enjoyed the candied-lemon slice on top of the cake, that was good. But I have had better pastries in the area. :) Thanks for the great service as well, all the ladies here are babes! The location of this coffee shop was very enjoyable as well. Good ambiance. Check out my profile for other coffee shop reviews. read more

My iced tea was very good! Love that they have different options for iced tea as well. The cashier was nice and the ambiance is quite nice. There are not too many outlets however so had to wait for one to open up. Overall very cute and definitely would recommend. read more

This is my favorite Tacoma coffee shop! The magic hour (iced) is my fav drink, and I can't help but enjoy a treat from the pastry cabinet each visit. The bagels, chocolate croissants, and raspberry bars are my go-tos. I enjoy my interactions with the baristas always and enjoy slowing down and enjoying the interior design and curated earthy vibes of this Tacoma gem. read more

My daughter looooooves this place. They seem to change their menu for the season. Mine gets a sun glow which isn't on the menu now but if you ask they will provide. I've tried all the different espresso drinks and do enjoy. A little pricey but the line is long so something is drawing people here! It's cute and quaint and small. Boho vibe. Located in Old town, there's always seems to be a line out the door. Good place for an intimate meeting or quick chat. read more

My daughter and I have been coffee shop hoping while working on her homework and we came across this little gem. We got a mocha, hot chocolate, and a cookie. The space is small, just a few tables, but it feels cozy. While we did homework we saw people playing cards, checking e-mail and just hanging out. It seems like a great place to meet a friend or sit down after visiting the Neighborhood. The cookie was large and packed with chocolate and M&Ms. It was buttery and the perfect softness. I kept stealing pieces from my daughter and should have just bought my own. The mocha was good and my daughter enjoyed the hot chocolate. I would definitely visit again. read more

Best coffee shop I've ever been to! The espresso flavor was phenomenal, the syrups were top notch, and their bagels are quite literally the best I ever had.

Hands down best coffee shop I've ever tried , I love to travel and try all the local coffee shops and this place is honestly amazing. I tried Iced Taurus and Iced North Star. Both great! The Iced Taurus is absolutely amazing!!! Try it!!! read more

I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. This coffee shop, in Old Town Tacoma, has such cute witchy vibes as well as the best drinks and pastries (the pastries are from Three Hearts Bakery in Hilltop) I get their chai latte which can be made as sweet, spicy, or a mix of both! I get the mix and it's so, so, SO good. They also have really uniquely crafted drinks like a rose chai or different types of coffee concoctions. My husband has had their espresso and said it's average but not amazing. The pastries are always a must get, too! Apple turnovers, chocolate crossant, mini lemon loafs... fresh and made with love and quality ingredients Everyone working is always so sweet and genuinely just seem happy to be hanging out with the community while making delicious treats They always have line out the door on weekends but it goes quick so don't give up... it's worth it every time read more

Quaint and a great location. Street parking. Sweet staff. I wish there were sandwiches or grab and go options for breakfast or lunch. They have bagels but don't assemble them for ya so it makes it hard when you're trying to eat on the run. Coffee drinks are good. read more

Loved the ambiance and the coffee was great. My son and I sat in the window watching traffic and chatting. Just lovely on a worrisome day.

Good lattes and a spacious interior with seating. They also have an assortment of pastries if you're hungry. Had a pleasant stroll here from our hotel for our morning coffee! Conveniently located near the waterfront so you can enjoy your coffee while strolling along the water. read more

I love the ambience. Just moved here from the SF Bay Area, and it and the movie theater next door remind me of Berkeley.

I have been going to Curran coffee shop since they opened. I get a Non fat Mocha and usually a pastry and both are perfect. The barristers are friendly, knowledgeable, and very efficient. Even when they are busy I typically do not wait long to get my coffee. If you are looking for a great coffee shop head to Curran. Since they have opened up the seating in the Spar it makes going there so much better. Great ambiance. read more

The BEST coffee around! Love their egg nog latte, a big treat for the holidays! Beautiful spot!

Curran Coffee - Gemini - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The seasonal drinks here were tasty and unique. My mom got the Pistachio chai latte, and I got the Maple Leaf latte. The flavors were balanced and not too sweet! I also got the banana ginger muffin, its texture was tender and spongey, with a mild ginger flavor. We were served by the co-owner--a Tacoma native! She was friendly and even recognized my mom from years back. The decor is cosy, there's free wifi, and plenty of seating. Next time I'll try the tea or an unflavored espresso drink. read more

was in town for a bit. usually up here you can't go wrong with coffee. i had their taurus. my brother got their gemini. the staff were friendly and explained things kindly if there were any questions. they had good seating options. i thought the zodiac theme was really cute too! seating near the windows has a nice feeling of looking outside to the street. parking is moreso street parking, but i wouldn't call it difficult! i'd come back again if i was in the area. i want to try more of their drinks! read more

This is a really great coffee shop and I absolutely see why they have insanely long lines a lot of the time I drive by. On this Sunday I'd gotten here early enough that there were only a handful of people in the shop and I was able to park right out front. The shop itself is super cute and very inviting. They have basically everything that you'd expect a coffee shop to have along with some fun sounding house specials. I went with the Gemini made with oat milk. It was wonderful and I will 100% be drinking that again after I try a few of the other specials first. Add in the awesome service and you've got yourself a coffee shop that should be here for many, many years to come! read more

Really quick and friendly service. My Americano was great. The chairs and couch are cute and create a chill vibe. Near water.

Glad to have found this gem after my run along Jack Hyde Park. Highly recommend this place after doing a run or visiting point defiance park. I got the spiced lavender chai with oat milk and the Taurus which is a vanilla chai with espresso, macadamia and chocolate. Both are tasty drinks and the right level of sweetness for me. You can also opt for other types of milk too. I got their everything pinwheel croissant and that was delicious. They have specialty drinks and you can add espresso to them and they still taste great! My drinks and food came out within a few minutes after ordering so the service was quick! The interior is cute with a few tables with outlets if you want a place to work. They have a couch and few seats outside as well to catch up with friends. There's only street parking but it was easy to find. read more

The staff here are super friendly, and the space is inviting--though it is on the smaller side. I've only tried their cold brew so far, and it's never disappointed. They're not a roaster themselves; I believe they use Olympia Coffee, which is a well-known roaster in the area. The baked goods are decent, though I'm not sure where they source them from. Overall, it's a great spot to pop into while walking through the neighborhood. read more
