Best spot for a coffee Their club sandwich is so bomb!! I'm hooked, small place but spot to sit outside when it's warm. read more

Service was quick and friendly. Ordered a ham breakfast sandwich, an Italian sub sandwich and latte to go. All was fresh and excellent. Seating is available inside and out. Great spot in Fircrest before heading to the zoo or exploring the waterfront. read more

Delicious coffee, very smooth and flavorful. What blew me away though was the lasagna soup. My mother is Italian, and I've grown up eating lasagna. My expectations weren't high, but this was one of the best soups I've ever had. Loved it! read more

Espresso Yourself - Ham and Swiss, add turkey. Delicious - Sandwiches Near Me - Fircrest, Washington

Well, just when I thought WA state only had drive thru cafes. While those are great for on the go, Espresso Yourself creates an inviting and quaint space to have a work meeting, to do homework, or to just enjoy coffee before the rush of the day. It's refreshing. Now let's talk about the food!!!!! I had the Garden Turkey sandwich with chips. I think I did the food dance the entire time lol. It was my idea lunch filling while also being light and tasty. Great variety of sandwich and sides. If there was a complaint I would suggest music within the dining room something like lofi type music. read more

This is my FAVORITE coffee shop! I love their white coffee, and the garden turkey sandwich. They also make the best fair scones ever, year round! The baristas are so sweet, and remember me every time I come in. I wish I could give this place more than five stars! read more

Fircrest sandwich with pasta salad!!' The service when dining in and when calling for an order for pick up has been really good every time. Highly recommend this spot for lunch. read more

Nice place for coffee and lunch. Went at 1200pm. Was like 10mins or less for lunch to be ready. Not bad, busy place.

Great customer service and food. I ended up going back that same weekend for more coffee.

Food is always fresh and delicious. The bakery treats are always good! And everyone working there is always very pleasant, helpful and nice! Love going here! read more

Very cute local cafe. The drink are fairly good and it's a good spot to hangout and catch up. Highly recommended!

Fantastic coffee and food. Homemade and fresh. Prices are really reasonable. Seating is hard to find during lunch but the food is worth it. A gem in a unassuming place. read more

Cute coffee shop. Been a customer for years. Great coffee and food. Can't go wrong with a scone or cinnamon roll or if you're wanting something healthier try a snack box. read more

What a great little coffee shop! Fircrest is lucky to have such an all purpose stop. They have a drive through, they have all manner of food, are locally owned and well run. Baked goods are a combination of in-house and outsourced. They have scones, bagels, muffins, cookies, and cinnamon rolls - thus covering all the major food groups. The items we've sampled thus far are good, but not drop dead. Our Fair Scone had too much jam on it for even our most diehard scone fan. Espresso offerings run the gamut one would expect in a reliable coffee house, with all the usual drinks, frappes, a couple of shakes. Again, solid. They have a nice variety of sandwiches: shrimp, turkey, blt, a fircrest club, egg salad, garden, veggie - twelve in all. $7 range. They remind me of a good homemade sandwich - again, not drop dead, but reliable. Nice that they make them to order, have half options and veggie choices. Gilding the lunch lily, they also offer salads, including Caesar and Shrimp Louie! $6 to $8. I haven't tried them. This place is deceptive from the outside. It looks sleepy, but the joint is hoppin' with regulars - mostly the denizens of Fircrest. That speaks very well for the place, methinks. It is small and homey in feel. In closing I just want to compliment the owner - he is fantastic. He's right up there at the counter. He really knows his regulars. He can tell if you're new and he wants you to be happy. He can have my coffee money any day for such kind service. . read more

Great food from sandwich's to pastries. A super cute little spot to grab lunch for a smaller group. Fun drinks like coffee of the day and workers are always welcoming and friendly read more

For lunch I specifically wanted a sandwich place that had good coffee, and was located somewhere between downtown Tacoma and University Place. Headed to Yelp, and this place seemed to fit the bill. Cute interior with fun semi-pricey mugs for sale. Lots of sandwich options, with two different soups available on Friday. Service was friendly for you princesses that seem to care about that kind of thing. I got the Italian pannini, which was OK. I felt like the bread was chewier than it should have been. The rest of the ingredients were so-so. However, my significantly better half's BLT was terrific. Lots of delicious meat, nice bread, fresh produce. That sandwich was the clear winner. I also had the chicken tortilla soup, which was OK. Wasn't terrible, but tasted like it came out of a can. I have come to expect a lot from soups thanks to Infinite Soups. The coffee was only OK. Not on the level of the top-tier places like Valhalla, Blue Beard etc. We had one great sandiwch, and the rest was average to slightly above average. Would come back for the sandwiches, but I'd go to Infinite Soups for soup! read more

Excellent coffee, sandwiches and baked goodies. Too bad it's not closer to me, but then again maybe that's a good thing!

I have been looking for a good coffee shop to get my morning caramel macchiato fix on my way to work. This place really does the trick! I love that they're open before 8AM, and they have a drive-through as well as cafe to choose from. I've always had good service and good coffee. The baristas are friendly and will happily explain coffees that you don't understand, like a macchiato vs. latte. They also have a rewards punch card so be sure to ask for one if you plan on going back. Remember to tip! read more

Always great coffee, food and service. Definitely worth the wait, as sometimes it is very busy but you can call ahead. The pastries are such a good treat read more

Love this places food, all of it has been so good the only downside is sometimes there phones are down or they don't answer so you can't place a order ahead of time, would be really great if they offered online ordering! read more

I always order the turkey gobbler & its always delicious. Can't recommend a better sandwich spot

This is by far my favorite place in the University Place area for breakfast. last time I came and my drink was so horrible I couldn't drink it, but when I came in today and told her about it she made me a free drink and was really understanding about it. I didn't feel unwelcome and will content coming back. Overall I've been satisfied with the place. I wish they had some less sugary options for breakfast, but I think that's a trend for the tacoma area to have everything extra sweet. The Internet is generally stable and they don't mind if you sit in over an hour. I'd like to try their lunch food sometime and review that. Thanks guys for being so awesome! read more

first visit today had a veggie sandwich with garden vegetable soup and the red blue rooster salad fair skin and a white chocolate mocha they were a couple mistakes we had to go back for the soup and they forgot to add the extra tomato and extra avocado to the salad and sandwich and we had to go back for one of the bowls of soup they missed. it was a very busy time of day and they were very frantic aside from that they still deserve five stars for me for the food and coffee was excellent the place was adorable a little difficult to find kind of said off to the side of a split in the street near almedia and regents street nicely located right at the stoplight though so it was easy to turn around. I will be going back but I do recommend you check your package before you leave to make sure everything is correct I could have gone on a bad day but it was super delicious and prices were fair. the help was very friendly and so were the customers in line. read more

I'm local and really want to support this place instead of going to one of the big chains. The service is very hit-or-miss lately. Sometimes I'm the only one in line and the baristas are very rushed and give me the wrong drink or food, and sometimes it's super busy but they still make time to be friendly. I hope they figure out the customer service aspect so I can continue to support this local business. read more

Cozy cafe with great food! I ordered the veggie sandwich on sourdough with a side of broccoli potato soup. The food was delicious and the sandwich quite possibly the best veggie sandwich I've ever had! Highly recommend stopping by for a quick bite to eat. read more

Watch out MSM deli, this place has some of the best sandwiches in our area. They are definitely comparable. I had the Fircrest Club and the Turkey with bacon added. Both sandwiches fresh and with the best crunchy veggies. I stop by and pick up lunch there occasionally. You won't be disappointed if you enjoy a tasty sandwich. Their espresso is delicious too!! read more

This is such a cute coffee shop. There is some outdoor seating and a drive thru! I have always had great coffee and pastries. The scones and lemon bread are amazing. read more

Everyone is so friendly. This place has AMAZING sandwiches!!! And sides! Their coffee is incredible as well. I crave this place a lot!

I called to order for 3 people. While ordering the girl kept asking "is that all?" I said no twice. Then ended up ignoring her impatient comment and kept ordering. When my mom picked up the order the girl was unwelcoming and unkind. Plus she messed up the order, she gave me another sandwich instead of soup. And I ordered the soup specifically because I didn't want a sandwich I'm watching calories. Usually Lauren is there and she's great. Please talk to your staff this is uncalled for and not the kind of experience I usually have. read more

I spotted this place while on a drive over a year ago and never remembered the name or where it was at. But on my way to the vet this morning I saw it and made sure to stop on my way home! I got an iced chai, and I'm a chai snob so to say that it was superb is a big deal! If you're familiar with chai, they use a powdered version I believe instead of a liquid that many other places use. I would love to return and try some of those famous sandwiches! There was a line so I had a little wait, but I personally was not in any rush :) read more

Love the customer service. Always kind and helpful as well as they have great drink and food choices. Would recommend whether you need a quick drink or wanna sit for lunch! :) read more

Amazing coffee! Nice lunch selection. They also have great little gifts to purchase. Prices are amazing. definitely coming back read more

I called in an order 15minutes they tell me. I arrive 15minutes later. There is a family of 5 who is in the process of ordering and paid. I'm next, I pay and proceed to stand there while the family is getting there food delivered. 13minutes later. How can that be? I ordered my food 25 minutes ago. They bring out my food after the family of 5? My food was cold and not all that great. Was one of my favorite placed to eat. Not anymore. read more
