We got a hot white chocolate mocha, an iced caramel macchiato and an iced sugar free mocha. Each one was SO good. Perfect balance of espresso, not overly sweet and huge sizes when you need that boost! We also got a coffee cake which was delicious! The girls were so sweet and helpful. Highly recommend stopping if you're in the area!

BUILT AROUND COFFEE, ROOTED IN COMMUNITY (4.5 stars)…read more ... Together in perfect harmony! Many people hanging out, people studying, or working. Why is Tacoma's glow-up so cute (now)! 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...

Ebony and Ivory Coffee is a cafe located in Downtown Tacoma. There are three locations; Lacey,…read moreTacoma, and Federal Way. This was our first time visiting one of their cafes. They have a monthly rotating menu of four limited drinks for their drink flights. 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!

The baristas craft everything from the cutest Spanish-looking open concept kitchen, and the whole space just feels like a happy place to be. There's always a mix of people tucked away working, friends yapping over coffee and, for some reason, a run club linking up. It has that neighborhood energy that makes you want to stay awhile. We got an iced vanilla latte and The Partridge hot, which may have officially become my new favorite fall drink. Espresso, pear juice, almond milk, white chocolate and cardamom syrup sounds like a lot happening at once, but WOW. The flavors are unexpectedly harmonious and somehow just work. This is not my grab-a-coffee-and-run spot. Come when you have a little leisurely time to sit, sip and enjoy being there. Great coffee, cozy neighborhood energy and apparently my new fall drink obsession.

This is my "go to choice" whenever someone wants to go out for coffee, I know that their drinks…read morewill be superb. They make their syrups inhouse, and you can tell, even a basic caramel latte tasted like the most delicate, handcrafted drink. They have fun seasonals, they're a hit or miss obviously based on your preferences, but I love them all so far. My go to drink pairing is a cardamon and ginger latte. The inside is SO HOMEY. It's rare to find coffee shops that haven't succumbed to the hospital white aesthetic, so this is so refreshing on the head. It is the ideal shop to study in. The cups and plates are my favorite thing about this place. The cups are handmade and just so stinking cute. The baristas are so welcoming every single time I come in, they look like they just love their job and love to chat with the customers. The outside of the shop is a mint green which really throws me off because the inside is so cute. The parking situation is a little limited as well, there's a few parking spots near the shop and the rest is street parking. They have a large selection of pastries and some food but know that if you come in the afternoon there probably won't be much left, they go pretty quick. Amazing shop, it's a different aesthetic than what most shops are but it feeds that "homey" craving that I have when I want to study at a coffee shop.

I can't say enough about this place!!! The owner/barista is the sweetest, kindest woman you will…read moreever meet. She always goes above and beyond to make sure your order is perfect.

The worst customer service ever! Was in the area and saw a small stand thought OK I will support…read morethe small stand instead of Starbucks. Pulled up to the window and noticed there was only one little sign that showed what they had to serve. It was so small I could barely read it and I looked around and said hi what kind of specials do you have today or do you have pictures of the coffees you have or suggestions? She looked at me odd and said no we are not Dutch brothers! And I said oh normally there's pictures and or specials of the day with suggestions I just didn't know what I wanted so I was looking for some ideas. she said you're at the wrong place and you should probably leave. And I said I was just asking because I didn't see anything on the outside of your stand? And she said no you should leave and I said are you joking I was just asking what you had and she said get the fuck out of here! I was a palled at the woman's customer service! No wonder there is no line around her building and she has no customers and poor reviews!

At this point Common Ground basically feels like my second home…read more There's a difference between a coffee shop you like and one that becomes part of your routine, and this is absolutely the latter for me. My constant is the Cardigan Latte, and then I rotate through whatever seasonal drinks inevitably convince me to stray from my usual. The space is warm and inviting, the people are wonderful, and it works just as well for grabbing something quickly as it does for settling in and staying awhile. I've been here more times than I could possibly count, and the fact that I continue choosing it when Tacoma has no shortage of great coffee shops probably says everything. Get the Cardigan Latte. And if the seasonal menu distracts you on the way there, I understand completely.

I was lucky to grab a seat just as someone else was leaving, and while it is definitely a tight fit when packed, the space is laid out well with both indoor and outdoor seating options. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by their merch display, the menu, and fresh baked goods. They offer all the standard drinks alongside a fantastic selection of seasonal items. I ordered the Island Breeze from the summer menu, which was amazing, so much so that I even ordered another one to share with my friend! I somehow also managed to snag the very last chicken chipotle sandwich, and it did not disappoint at all, especially with the great portion size. The service was wonderful, and I really enjoyed my friendly interactions with the staff. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be back to try out their fall menu!

My scone was flaky and light, not overly dense and had just the right amount of icing. They have a nice selection of baked goods as well as some deli items if you're looking for a meal. The atmosphere was really cool- the coffee shop has two other buildings to choose from to enjoy your coffee and conversations. Inside the main building, there's a fireplace and garage doors that can open up to flow into the outdoor seating area. One of the other buildings actually has an encased "treehouse" you can choose to use (so cool!!!). The service was attentive, and the employees were really friendly and helpful. This is our new coffee spot now whenever we visit family in WA, we loved everything about it, and we wish we had one in Bskers

This was our first time visiting the Ebony and Ivory Coffee location in Federal Way. The cafe is absolutely beautiful. The ambiance and environment of this location is worth visiting again. I was ordering drinks and food for three people. Our order consisted of the Dreamgirl Matcha, Tidalwave Latte, Northwest Tea, two Sunrise Breakfast Wrap, and a Turkey Bacon Croissant. This ended up being quite expensive...A lot more expensive than I expected, which is unfortunate because I now realized that none of the items on their menus list a price. As much as we enjoyed the food and drinks here, we felt wronged realizing we had no idea the cost of anything before it got rung up. The staff members taking care of our orders were really sweet though and helpful. They made sure we had all the items we needed before we left the cafe; napkins, straws, and drink holder.

The cutting cake was so beautiful - literally the cake of my dreams and prettier than any Pinterest photo. We ordered the V GF orange cake with Bavarian cream. I ate 3 pieces the night of our wedding!!! Seriously the best cake we've ever had. We also ordered 3 sheet cakes of the regular (non vegan/gf) chocolate, white, and lemon. The cake was almost gone by the end of the night and we had multiple guests ask where it was from because of how good it was. The tasting experience was fun and the staff were very nice/helpful with recommendations and questions. Thank you Corina for my dream wedding cake

I always pass by this shop, so today I finally decided to come in and give it a proper try…read more Ambiance: It's definitely very inviting. The floral arrangements and product displays were clearly designed with great care. All the items are wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. The shop is quite spacious, and the interesting paintings on the walls really leave an impression. All of this plays a huge role in building up their customer base. Service: The signage inside is clear, and everyone lines up in an orderly way. The staff is warm and welcoming, and they even asked if I wanted my bread warmed up. The order came out very fast--overall, a great service experience. Taste: I ordered two pastries: an almond croissant and a chocolate croissant. The almond croissant was packed with ingredients, with a thick, rich layer of processed almond filling in the middle. The texture was great--highly recommended! However, the chocolate croissant was a total disaster!!! My first bite was actually satisfying; the chocolate flavor and texture were rich. But on my second bite, I realized... it was underbaked. So disappointing.

I had money to spend on this account but decided I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of bullying me. Ill never return and you can kick rocks Starbucks. The unmitigated gall of someone barely making minimum wage being super snooty and rude is absolutely diabolical.

My coworker had an espresso shot plus a coffee...I can't remember what he ordered, but he really liked it as well...so 3 for 3 on our choices. Chances are good you'll like what you get here.
