WiFi seems strong as there are customers with their computers and tablets. Bathrooms are clean and individualized, the best! Staff are kind and very considerate, especially the tall Korean barista young man. I will go back due to his professionalism. My Friends ordered the hojicha with cream, corn einspanner, and I ordered the Korean sweet potato latte. With that being said, I was looking for something less sweet, and Korean sweet potato latte is definitely not it. Luckily there are other drinks here and their americano is refreshing and delicious. I will be back to try their kroffles.

There is not a lot of seating, which is not a problem. It kind of gives off a more intimate vibe this way. I'm not a coffee drinker like my wife, but the refreshers make up for it. The dessert options are great, with cheesecakes, and regular cake options. The croffles range from dessert style to savory options. I don't have a favorite yet, as there a more to try. This is a favorite place for me and my wife.

This cafe is a gem! A quiet comfy place to grab a coffee and dessert.

While I have cafes I prefer in Lakewood, I wanted to try something new, so I found EM Boba & Coffee after looking up places online I ordered the Vietnamese coffee with the egg cream topping. I go to quite a few Vietnamese cafes in Seattle, so I have my standards. Unfortunately, their coffee did not meet my standards at all. The coffee tasted like it was made straight from one of those Vietnamese instant coffee packets. I do drink that here and there at home, but it's not the kind of taste I want from a cafe. The egg cream was pleasant though and helped make it taste better. I probably wouldn't come back for the coffee, but I'm still interested to see what the other drinks were like.

Hanging out around Tacoma and it's always a must to try a coffee shop in the PNW. PASSES THE VIBE CHECK. It's a very hip and spacious cafe with a large lobby/lounge area and a ton of people. Diversity! Loved seeing diversity in the mix. Comfy seats, tables, and some available power plugs too. Its location is on a downtown slope and in a corner so it has a view. ORDER - STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN ($17) - came with 4 mini espresso drinks: Latte, Caramel Macchiato, Doppio Con Panna, and Cold Brew. Latte - smooth without any flavor. Caramel Macchiato - so good and smooth. Sweet. Caramel tastes more like marshmallows. Dipping Con Panna - strong acidity after bite and a coffee taste throughout the sip. Cold brew - this is where I can truly taste the profiles of the beans. Very smooth with flavor profile of currents and cherry. Until the next review...

For the month of February the four drinks were: - Lots of Love Lotus -- pink lotus with rose and lavender syrup, topped with lavender cold foam. - Eternal Flame Latte -- espresso with sweet heat syrup and brown sugar cinnamon, finished with a honey and red sugar rim. - Sweetheart Sip Matcha -- iced matcha with cherry and almond syrup, topped with a maraschino cherry. - Perfect Pair Latte -- espresso with dark chocolate, white chocolate, and strawberry, topped with whipped cream and strawberry drizzle. The drinks were all great. In addition to the drink flight, we ordered a chocolate vegan muffin and a Danish to snack on. The space is wonderful. It is a fairly large space that could be used to study, work, or even socialize in. The service is also excellent. The staff are friendly and delivered our drink flight right to us!

I was disappointed. Let me explain why: I own a coffee business myself, and appreciate and want to support anyone who runs one as well. It can be a tough business. However I have many friends who had said I had to try out the 6th ave location. I happened to drive by this one and decided to stop. The barista was nice, but very slow and had to be reminded of my order twice. The coffee was mediocre. It just didn't impress me. Maybe I stopped by on an off day, but I don't see yet what the hype is about. But at least the barista was friendly. read more

I prefer hot tea with a drop of lemon and honey combination, which Cowgirl's has plenty of options for. That's what drew me to their place. Since it's not too close to Tacoma, it doesn't seem to be very crowded, especially during the times I've gone. Of my five visits, I've only had to wait about 5 to 10 minutes once. Overall, I find their servers to be fast and friendly. In the past, I've had their hot coffees, particularly lattes, a couple of times. They were all exceptional, but most recently, I've tried their signature drinks from the Red Bull Bomb - Lotus Energy menu. For me, it was the Wild Flower flavor. I can't even lie; this drink exceeded my expectations. Second disclaimer: I'm not necessarily a Red Bull person, but it was very subtle thanks to the refreshing flavors of lavender, blackberry, and blue lotus. I finished the drink within the record time of 10 seconds. I don't know if it was because I was thirsty or if it was just that great, but I chose to believe it was the latter. It's definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the Spanaway area.
