The Cold Brew!
Alden C.

I first discovered Outer Dark Coffee at the E9 brewery where they had some of their coffee beans for sale. We purchased some and really likedwhat we bought. We also were told that they would be opening a coffee shop soon so we kept our eyes peeled for the location to open. When they did it wasn't long before we paid a visit there. Very nice setup. Parking isn't great but I have a badge for a parking garage downtown and the walk there is quite manageable. The first time we were here I got their Cold Brew which was very good! I occasionally want one of these and it fit the bill nicely for our first visit. The second visit I was told the menu just changed which I assumed was for the Autumn season and got a Roobios London Fog which was awesome! I love London Fogs but never had a Roobios before and really enjoyed it! They do have pastries also and they are brought in by the fantastic bakery, Spilled Butter and we simply can't pass up when we see their stuff pop up at the different coffee shops around town. Great new addition to the coffee shop scene in Tacoma and one worth checking out if you are an afficionado with them.

Two coffee drinks, a mocha and a Midwinter

Great coffee, drinks are not too sweet, which is appreciated. Taking beans home! Good baked goods, too.

It always seems like some new discovery awaits for this category here and it's always delicious. Coffee drinks remain amazing, creative and unique especially for the area that doesn't delve into the specifics that this place does. On our latest visit we had some amazing sweets that involved pistachio and once again it doesn't disappoint. So very delicious. Still five stars all of the way and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

I was really excited to find out there was a Sana'a Café here in Washington after recently moving…read morefrom California. I used to visit the Sacramento location, so it was a nice surprise seeing one nearby. My review is mainly for the desserts since I still haven't tried the coffee yet (though I'm sure it's probably great too since they're known for their Yemeni coffee). The menu seems very similar to the Sacramento location, but I'm giving 4 stars because they don't carry the one dessert I've been seriously craving: Turkish delight! The Sacramento location has it and I was definitely hoping to grab some here but I didn't see any on display or on the menu :( The milk cakes were thankfully just as good and super consistent between locations. We ordered the pistachio milk cake and the caramel milk cake (different pricing, depending on flavor probably). Both were incredibly moist, flavorful, and just really delicious. If you've never tried the milk cakes here, I definitely recommend them. They taste high quality, for sure, and a perfect treat for a sweet tooth. I had my husband try one for the first time since he likes caramel, and he immediately said it tasted so fancy he felt like he should be sticking his pinky out while eating it lol. I told him it *is* around $10 a slice, after all. We stopped by on a weekday afternoon and the parking lot was busy and the café itself was packed, so it definitely seems like a popular spot. They also have a points rewards program you can sign up for with just your phone number. I'll definitely be back for sweets again.

I wish we had something like this in Seattle. A true specialty coffee cafe, with a lot of options,…read moresourcing, and anything ranging from neutral to flavor bomb profiles. The employees here are really nice, and the coffee beans are some of the most vibrant and packed with flavor (my preference) due to the experimental techniques used and their careful sourcing. The espresso drinks include classics, but also a lot of cool twists and syrups too. Pastries are excellent. The goat cheese chimichurri was so good and savory, and vibrant herbs and spices. Definitely a must-stop for my Tacoma visits!

It is located only a 5-minute drive from the car museum. We got yummy Smashburgers (comes with chips) and fries at Canteen by Camp Colvos. For drinks, we got a couple of sodas at Canteen, a Willie Maize Hazy IPA on tap at the 7 Seas bar, and I tried a refreshing Lavender Patch (16 oz iced sparkling espresso with lavender syrup and yuzu lemonade) at Naomi Joe Coffee. They have some pinball machines, free water at the back, and a party room you can rent. As with most breweries, it is family-friendly. I love the laid-back and friendly atmosphere of this place. They sell cool merch and have a neat display in honor of the historic Heidelberg Brewing Company of Tacoma that dates back to 1912.
