Who'da thought a See's Candies would open in Green Firs?! We were just stopping in to hit Mud Bay…read moreand Trader Joe's - when we saw the big "See's Candies" sign on the wall. Having just talked about some fun little holiday gifts for our mail carrier, dog sitter, and handyman, it seemed the perfect thing. Been a long time fan of See's Candies going back many years. The shop is small - I'm guessing it's starting out as a "seasonal shop and let's see how we do" sort of thing. So the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is we were really hoping for the candy case with all the yummy individual candies that See's is famous for. But the staff were super nice, and the selection for holiday gift goodies was very good. Prices are, well, "candy store" prices - not "dollar store prices" but you'd expect that from a quality brand store like See's. I really hope they stay on and build out the full "See's Candies" experience that so many of us know over decades. Nice little store.

It was very unfortunate how the girl clerk treated my mother…read more When I went in to the empty store besides my mother who was creating her boxes, the clerk rudely talked down to my mom, acted as if it was SUCH a bother to help her- as my mother picked out her candies to fill the custom boxes. When my mom paid the clerk didn't even thank her, just directed her to slide her card. Then I too purchased an item, and the clerk handed me my change, and she walked away. I said to her: "Thank you- but - is it all you do is transactions, and no 'Thank You's?' " she said "What?" I repeated it and then she just stared with a blank stare. So I said.."A 'Thank You'?- is that too hard to say to myself and my Mother? She then said, "Oh have a good day?".(reluctantly) I then said "You were very rude to my mom!". She spent over $130 Someday she will be old, and may not hear 100%, I hope she is never treated like that. We will not be back.

I was recommended for it by an acquaintance and I was in the mood to do some incense stick shopping a few weekends ago so I finally paid my first visit there. What a cute place! I love it! There is all kinds of spiritual or metaphysical items and some things that are there just for the sheer fun of it. They did not disappoint in having a good variety of incense and Steve bought an absolutely beautiful reflective Crescent Moon incense holder. It's so beautiful I am almost afraid to use it. They have a great tea and book section and all kinds of candles. But the thing that was a real extra bonus was their chocolate section. They have a small counter in which you can pick chocolates from out of the case. We each bought an espresso chocolate and a coconut chocolate and they were so good! I don't know the back story with the chocolates but it wouldn't surprise me if the owner made them themselves. The chocolates are certainly local for sure and not associated with any large candy company. A really fun and rewarding stop! I will have to make more deliberate points to go here. If nothing else a quick stop for more of those chocolates!

After trying several of their baked goods at local coffeeshops in Tacoma area, I discovered an…read moreopportunity from social media that they were having a pop up at their own brick and mortar baking kitchen, with collab with local coffee, Civic Roasters, a few months back. I know they do not have regular open hours for just walk in purchase, but rather, they're custom order type business, but I have yet to place any custom orders so I cannot speak to that experience. What made me write this review is how accurate the owner (Brianne) described cake and desserts in the description and the baked goods taste matched 200% of the description. The pistachio cake was out of the world, so was the whoopie pie!!! I got to meet Brianne in person and she was very friendly, and was kind to explain everything about each of her baked goods she had out that day. I've tried their baked goods from pop tarts to cookies to housemade Twinkie and the creation and taste are unmatched. Single serve baked goods were more on pricier side, but well worth every bite. I would definitely order custom baked goods from here, knowing the quality and taste of products from this shop!!! Currently, you can find Spilled Butter baked goods at Cosmonaut coffee, Outer Dark Coffee, and at Tacoma Farmers Market (also known as Tacoma Broadway Farmers Market) from time to time. Enjoy!!!

I got a ginger molasses cookie and a white chocolate americano. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was! I LOVED the flavor of their espresso and the cookie had the best flavor and texture. I know it's just coffee and a cookie but I've had coffee from bakeries before that was worse than what you get from a Keurig lol so to actually get a coffee that was enjoyable was a shocker to me. I will definitely be back to try more items!

Then I ordered an Americano with lavender no cream. This was an absolute pleasure. Customer service is amazing. Enjoyed the two people who work here. Excellent customer service was very helpful not only to me but to each person who was inside and who came in after me. Love the ambiance and GF choices. See all the cool photos. Your mouth will water and you will want every single one. Parking was pretty good. It's in a strip mall with great businesses so it's always packed. I'll definitely be back time and time again. Worth the price. Make sure to get the app and rack up the rewards. Well worth it.

Wasn't yet busy so in 20 minutes we were mowing down this yummy pizza. The bbq sauce was sweeter than spicy but very nice. The cook was just getting ready for the Monday evening dinner rush.
