Lander coffee is off 21st with parking on the street along 21st (not difficult to find). This location can be pretty busy on the weekends but it's the perfect spot for some work and a coffee on a weekday. Lots of people working and plenty of space, the people working here are friendly and helpful and the coffee tastes good. Oh and the wifi is great. I think the baked goods are macrina! read more

3.75-4.00 rating if I could. This place is in a cute neighborhood which is usually busy. There is parking on the street, and friendly. Not a lot of options but what I like is the special drink which was cardamom this time. The drink I had was yummy!!! And the place was full so reflects the interest and love this place gets! read more

I love this sweet little coffee shop. Employees are always incredibly nice and make some excellent beverages.. the vibe in here is mellow and during the morning and afternoon there are lot of people here working solo. Fairly quiet place. Delicious roasted coffee beans. read more

This place is very cute, well priced, and the staff is super friendly. No wonder every seat in the cafe was taken on this beautiful Saturday morning! My wife and I had a vanilla latte, which was great, and a dirty chai. I didn't clarify whether the chai was spiced or not before ordering it, which was totally my mistake. It ended up being spiced chai, which I'm not such a fan of. This is not to say you might not like it, just not my fave. I plan to return and try a different drink because like I said, everything else about this place (other than the chai) seems awesome. read more

Although this place has such a good atmosphere to study, I was very disappointed with the coffee itself. I have gotten different things everytime I have gone and I been let down. read more

Great place to work, great coffee, and great staff! I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. The seasonal drinks are quite inventive too! The only parking is street parking, but I haven't had an issue finding parking yet. read more

Very relaxed and clean environment . Very high end feel which is rightly so since the school and area is $$$$$$$$$$$$ Coffee is ALWAYS AMAZING ! I ordered a vanilla latte with half and half yes I know it's "breve" but I feel like a coffee jerk saying it . Menu is simple . Easy to read and prices are posted . I ordered a cheddar chive scone which was amazing but definitely wish it was heated . I didn't even know if that's an option since I've been here maybe twice . So a cold scone wasn't for me but heated up at home was great ! read more

Cute neighborhood coffee shop in T-Town off N 21st Street. Street parking available. I visited a hair salon off the same street. During my wait time. I decided to walk around and noticed the coffee shop in the corner of a building. I decided to check it out to grab a hot drink as it was a cold day. First impression, it's a pretty good size. Nice furniture and minimalistic decor. There's a comfy sofa to relax on. The ambiance is nice and felt very comfortable. My visit here was year Jan 2020 pre-pandemic time. I ordered the chai tea $3.60 and almond croissant (don't recall the price). They both were delicious. I forgot to take a picture of the croissant (was a little hungry LOL!) Overall great first experience. I would return when back in/near location. read more

All non-dairy milks have sugar. Nothing sugarless available. The chairs are very uncomfortable.

Coffee was great! Fruity and dark. High quality coffee. And the price!! Americano for $3.5 with this quality is amazing deal. Ambience is quiet and cute. Many people working with laptop there. Service is not quite friendly. But definitely go back. What a gem! read more

Stopped by lander today and WOW what an amazing experience! We ordered an espresso tonic which was a 10! The place itself was beautiful, open, lots of seating and very clean! The barista who served us was kind and hilarious!! I don't think I ever came into a coffee shop and laughed like I did today! (It was the guy with the mustache) Would highly recommend this place! read more

When I need to escape the hustle and bustle of Seattle coffee shops I come here to relax. I went here countless times while living in Tacoma and I never had a bad experience. The staff is consistently friendly, the coffee is solid, and there are some tasty food options. They're a micro-roaster so they offer some retail in-house roasts that range from $16-$21 for 12oz (love to see affordable quality coffee). This time around I ordered their Los Dos Socios Guatemala on espresso which was very well balanced and the sausage egg breakfast sandwich which was neither dry nor bland. The seating options were mostly full since people have gone back to school and need a place to study, and even though there are a ton of seats I wish there were more comfy couches to relax on. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if ur craving good coffee, good food, or just need a place to get some work done. read more

Coffee is amazing! Service is alright. Seatings are typically full. And if you get a chance to snag a seat, it's not the most comfortable. And no a/c in the summer time. But I love the coffee so I will be back! read more

This coffee shop is excellent for your macchiato fix. Slightly less bitter style/coffee than other legitimate coffee shops, but what the drink lacks in espresso punch it makes up for with complex smooth flavor. Nutty chocolaty flavors in their espresso. (Perhaps they could go a little lighter on the milk) What pushed this over the top to 5 stars is the friendly barista, $1 cheaper than other hipster joints, more than just pastries available , AND sparkling water for your macchiato that is actually carbonated, and not from last Monday's jug. If you're looking for espresso with all the bells and whistles, this is your place. read more

Heading down from Seattle one afternoon to beat the traffic, this was just the kind of place I was looking to spend a few hours doing work before dinner with friends. Lander was a little more off the beaten path and I stumbled onto when the shop I had researched was packed to the gills. I am glad that was the case, because this was more my vibe: spacious modern interior design with big windows, lots of seating for setting up your solo work or hanging with a friend. The barista was super sweet and friendly, they have a succinct drink menu and I was able to get a decaf Americano to sip into the late afternoon. By the time I arrived, most of the food was gone, but what they had looked tasty. The only thing that could have made it even better was if they were open until 6PM instead of 5PM to bridge into the evening. But 5PM is still great, and later than a lot of the places I frequent up north. I will definitely visit again when in Tacoma! read more

My husband and I went with our son during a busy part of today, a Sunday afternoon. The beautiful lady who took our order was also very kind. They were out of many items that time of day, but we were able to get some good eats and drinks. The place was packed, but it didn't feel busy. We shared a table with some people who didn't seem to mind, which was cool. There was a mix of folks, some working on school stuff, others planning the rest of their day. We discussed bike riding and pattern-making. My son ran to get water three times. The menu is what you may have come to expect from a Tacoma coffee shop, but there were more alternative drink options for milk and some cool-looking cookie bite options. The place looks like a large living/family room, and the music was nice. It's a great place to go and hide from your responsibilities, like we tried to do before heading to Safeway. Check them out!!' read more

Great vegan options for food - high quality drinks - love this place I recommended to everyone / get your beans here

Located at the corner of N 21st & Anderson St in the Three Bridges District of Tacoma, this coffee shop has all the elements of great coffee culture. First, they start with locally roasted coffee from Elm Coffee Roasters from Seattle. Second, the ambience is welcoming, with hipsters and cool mustaches, moms and dads strolling their little ones to the cafe, and lastly, cool vibe music in the background. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee stops in T-Town. read more

Laidback hipster ambiance with a super minimal/focused menu. It's not the fastest service in the game, but the drinks are tasty. The turmeric latte was spicy and complex, but a bit on the gritty side. The lavender cold brew was light and refreshing. With tons of seating, this would be a great place to catch up with friends or work on a laptop. read more

I Am a frequent weekly customer at Lander, i have all but amazing experiences, customer service has been great, atmosphere is so comforting, and the coffee is always yummy. A few days ago i came in and brought a friend to show off my new favorite coffee shop to study and do work at. But to my unpleasant surprise you are allowed to bring in a food or drink item from another business, i was not aware of this rule and i was kinda told rudely that i was lucky to not be getting kicked out because of it. And i think the only reason i didn't was because I ordered a coffee for here which comes in a mug. So since i'm not a problematic customer and i would love to keep coming here, i kindly took my edible item from another store out to my car and came back and went on with my visit, did school, drank the coffee, and left after 20 minutes because for the first time I did not feel comfortable. I love this shop and want to continue being a regular customer, but if a business is going to have such a rule then maybe they should post a sign up at the door to make unaware customers like me's life a little more easier, and to make the business happy. read more

Lander Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

First impressions: Located in a beautiful part of the north end. Lots of street parking. Clean exterior and spacious and minimalist interior. Lots of seating which is great compared to other popular cafes that have limited seats. A very clear and de-stressing atmosphere perfect for relaxing and/or studying. Service: Our barista was very friendly and knowledgeable. Not your typical snobbish hipster coffee know-it-all. Very inviting and patient. There was excellence in this man. He exuded confidence while flashing technical skill. Impressive. Food/Drink: Croissant was a croissant. Fluffy. Good. Latte was decent. Smooth and sleek. Not overpowered, not weak. There is a distinct flavor that I can't quite describe. It stands out compared to nearby competitors like Olympia and Bluebeard. Must come back for further tastings. Enjoyable brew. Coffee is worth purchasing and drinking, multiple times. Miscellaneous: Studying here might be a good idea. Sofa-like seating is a nice touch. High ceiling. Large windows. Conclusion: Lander is Dope. Will likely come back to buy java and write the next great American novel. Lander is cool. Will share this under-the-radar spot with family and friends. Cheers. read more

Lander Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Too my knowledge the third incarnation of a coffee shop in this space. Each coffee shop that was here definitely had it's own unique recipes and vibe! Lander Coffee Roasters is the new tenant at this address and it provides a more sleeker feel before which is refreshing! I have been here twice now and have gotten their version of the vanilla latte which is a favorite coffee drink of mine. Lander's version of the drink is a success and I enjoyed it very much! The pastries they sell are very good. A favorite I like here is the almond croissant! The service here is always friendly and prompt and I can see myself coming here quite a bit on the handful of rotating coffee shops I like to frequent in town! read more

10/10 on everything - great coffee, great environment, great vibes from the employees as well as the patrons! I love how hip this coffee shop is, and the availability of seating they have is better than most shops in the vacuity, by far (also way more outlets). I have come here to study so many times and recommend it to everyone! They have great non-coffee options too! read more

Having another coffee hangout with quality coffee is very welcome. Lander nailed the atmosphere, location, and coffee. This place has defintely been added to my small list of go to coffee places in Tacoma! We also had one of their breakfast sandwiches which was pretty solid. I appreciate a coffee place that also has edible food :) read more

i'm an avid oat milk chai drinker, and this one was just average. the barista at the cash register was so friendly and nice, otherwise i would give this place a 4/10 on the chai itself. the cinnamon roll croissants on the other hand.. those are AMAZING. so, overall wouldn't be back for the chai but deff would grab a pastry if i were nearby read more

Loved the vibe and the coffee here. Lots of seating and along the wall, lots of outlets.

Amazing coffee, super friendly staff, great modern cozy atmosphere. Definitely go...you won't be disappointed.

This place has one of my favorite interiors of the Tacoma coffee scene. It is simultaneously bright and cozy. Plenty of parking nearby. Baristas are quick to help and do it with a smile. Friendly people - great place to sit and work or meet with a friend. And they have a great little play area for kids. Wish they roasted their own coffee, but they do use local beans. Also I ordered a chai and it was trash. Chai can be hit and miss and this was a definite miss. My husband's coffee was pretty good. I will be back - hopefully as they settle into their space, the drinks improve a bit. read more

Staff was excellent. Very friendly. Decor is nice. But the drinks lacked. All of them. Coffee was bitter. Maybe that is my taste but much better is available at other coffee shops. Chai latte was very watery. Was not enjoyed. Cold Nitro had no nitro. Learned later the machine wasn't working. Nice place and people. Please work on the products. read more
