    Turkey Bacon Press Panini, Iced mocha
    Sabrina N.

    I have been searching for a good panini place for almost 2 years now. This is the one. I got the Turkey bacon pressed panini on focaccia and an iced mocha. BOTH were delicious. Service was fast and I appreciate the cute seating outside! Definitely stop by if you're in the area, or if you just want a good panini! :)

    I stumbled upon this place as I was trying to find somewhere different to eat but I am glad I ended up here. The food was good, the staff were friendly, and my order was ready quickly. There are a couple seats at the window counter and there are several tables outside. I had a breakfast sandwich on sourdough, but they had several options for bread.

    Gyro Press panini

    Simply Panini makes mouthwatering paninis and a pretty darn decent iced coffee if you ask me. I've been there once before years ago when I was in the area after someone recommended them to me but I mostly just get my food delivered from them through Uber eats since I don't really go into downtown Tacoma anymore. Normally I get the breakfast sandwiches which have always been great but switched it up recently and tried a couple of their lunch menu items. If you like your sandwiches with a little bit of a kick, I highly recommend the jalapeño grilled cheese ! The gyro press panini is also very good, the flavor you'd expect from a classic gyro sandwich but instead of a pita it's on your choice of their bread. I went with wheat for the gyro and sourdough for the grilled cheese. The coffee can be a little too strong for me at times but it's normally good. I like the iced mochas and lattes with non fat milk and coconut flavor added. They have a variety of different milks and flavors you can add to the coffee drinks if you wish to. Overall, it's a great place to check out for breakfast or lunch.

    Spicy Hash and White Chocolate Mocha

    i absolutely fucking love this place. HIGHLY recommended. it's always flavorful and at a very decent price!

    Cali Chicken Panini
    Cody J.

    Really enjoyed my first trip to this spot! It's in a convenient spot off commerce for a lot of the businesses there. The shop is pretty small with only six or so bar type seats available, there are outdoor tables but it's was a bit too cold for that today. I had the Cali Chicken Panini and was overall very satisfied. The best part was probably the bread, you get a choice between white, wheat, sourdough, or focaccia. I got the focaccia which was very soft inside and perfectly grilled on the outside. Veggies were fresh and loved that they used red onion! The only downside was that it was a bit messy with the liquid from the tomato as well as the sauce which was only okay. Still a good sandwich and they had plenty of other options that I'll be back to try. Prices were about average for the area, maybe slightly less at 11 for the Panini.

    Berry Salad with Chicken

    Nice little Mom & Pop store in downtown Tacoma. Location was clean, service was fast, and Berry Salad was yummy. I thought it was a good serving size for the amount paid. Close to where I was staying. Would stop by again if ever in town.

A…read morelot of places don't hang around too long and that spot in particular has seemed hard to keep in business. But then we looked cross the street on 1st, where there used to be an Anthem, and even though it was already 6pm, this sandwich shop was still open and...there was a BINGO game happening. Whaddya know? So we took a peak in and they were not only serving sandwiches but they also had a cooler full of microbrews and kombuchas, beer on tap, wine, and a whole list of cocktails made from prosecco and other non-hard liquors like Amaro. Truly something for everyone. So we gave our order to the sweet human at the counter and took our seats I'm not kidding, my Amaro sour was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while in Tacoma and so were the pretzel sticks. I want my cocktails cold, tart, and refreshing with a little kick of funk or herbs and I want my pretzels salty. You wouldn't think that's such a high bar to clear but you'd be surprised. Sandwich Starr nailed it. Our Zatan sandwich was tasty but even though the bread felt a little stale. Otherwise the decor is kinda '90s coffee house and they've got bingo! Overall, this is an odd spot but the drinks are really good and it's got heart and it's the heart that makes it Tacoma.

I've had several things on their menu and some of my favorites are the chiptole turkey melt sandwich and artichoke dip. I love how soft the bread is for the sandwiches. Service is usually quick and attentive. I love to visit for good vibes, food and drinks!

    The vibe was cool and all but the experience was kind of unconventional, to me at least…read more Unconventional because as a 1st time customer, I didn't know if I had to sit myself or wait so I felt kinda awkward. No welcome or anything or a "hey just sit anywhere you want". So I just took initiative, grabbed a menu and sat at an empty table. There's a sign that said "order at the bar" but the barkeep would go to other people and ask what they wanted. Okay, that's fine... Trying to follow the rules so I don't single myself out, I went to the bar and was asked for my ID, but why? I wasn't ordering drinks and when other people came, the barkeep didn't ask the other customers for their ID so I felt some type of way but whatever. We proceed to order the Philly and Mac & Cheese. Philly tasted great because it also came with dipping sauce. The only thing lacking was that I felt it wasn't enough. Plus It seemed like I had more bread as opposed to meat. Mac & Cheese was great also, it was soft and creamy plus it had crunchy bits. It had the consistency of valveeta cheese. We asked for the check, we waited, waited some more so I finally went to the bar and closed the tab that I didn't order drinks with, just food. I like the vibe, its like being in a classic tattoo studio with posters on the wall with classical prints from different time periods. Not a big establishment or room inside but just enough to have a modest amount of 30 people. It's a nice joint but not really for me, I'd probably order through Uber eats with this place.

    One day I received a notification that one of my fellow Yelpers had checked into this place, and I…read moredecided to look it up to see what they had to offer. I'm a big fan of breweries, especially those with several drinks on draught or tap, and if they're really good, I'll buy them in a bottle. However, I read their review and noticed that they had vegan and vegetarian options, so I thought, "You know what? That's a combination I can't resist. Beers with a delicious sandwich!" A few days later, I made plans to visit on Saturday, which happened to be one of the two days this year that it snowed in the Pirec. It was quite amusing with the parking and the snow that stuck everywhere. As soon as I walked in, the bar was buzzing with energy. It had a great vibe. I didn't think I'd get any seats, but I managed to snag one at the bar with a very friendly person. I spent all but about 3 to 4 hours there. The sandwich I ordered was called the Rainier, and it was mentioned in the review, but the name wasn't revealed. It consists of a field roast loaf, Chao vegan cheese, herbed vegan mayonnaise, tomato, red onion, and arugula on sourdough bread. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, even if it's vegan, so I swapped it out with some pesto-style creamy cheese, and it turned out even better than I expected. The sandwich was a perfect five out of five. I would definitely order it every time I come. It came with a side of chips, which was a great addition. The sandwich was massive, so I could only eat half of it. I took the other half home for the next day. For my beers, I'm a big stout-and-porter guy, so I went with the Fort George's. They had two options: the Salted Caramel Cavatica & Matryoshka Vanilla. Both were exceptionally flavorful and probably my favorite porters I've had in all of Washington and many other states. Unfortunately, they ran out of the Salted Caramel Cavatica, so I ended up drinking the Matryoshka Vanilla for the rest of the night and didn't mind at all. Overall, I had a fantastic time at this place. I'm definitely going to make it a regular stop in my monthly rotations around Tacoma. Highly recommend stopping by this place. It's definitely a five. Service is amazing, and the drinks are worth the trip. They have an array of options, which is what I love about this place. Until next time!
