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!

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.

This is a truly great cafe! Tucked away in downtown Tacoma, I came on a Saturday afternoon and it…read morewas very busy. 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!

For the most part the coffee tastes good, and I really enjoy their canned nitro cold brew to go. I…read morealso really like that they switched the bakery distributor from Macrina Bakery (nothing wrong with them, just tired of seeing their stuff at every other local coffeeshops) to Tacoma owned Three Hearts Bakery. Recco's: Pour over, Nitro cold brew if they have that on tap, and baked goods by Three Hearts Bakery Cons: Service is a hit or miss at this new location. Being on STW (that is short for South Tacoma Way), I think this location has huge potential for attracting non-locals compared to their 6th Ave location (already established local reputation with regulars), hopefully they staff up to create more flexibility because a lot of times they're backed up on orders especially early mornings due to several crowd rolling in from Howdy Bagel across the street, they're also a bit stoic when it comes to simple greetings. Cortado is one of my favorite coffee drinks but I will not order from this location, today I ordered it with almond milk (which, for cortado of less than 4oz, the portion of milk is not very much but I paid a kidney for it, its my fault) it was $6.07. The barista did provide a tip for next time if I'm looking for a more fuller 8oz drink, I can go for a Flat White. I visit both of their locations fairly regularly and do appreciate this STW location that is closer to me. Parking is on street and has never given any problem finding a spot nearby. Great offerings of seasonal coffee drinks, and I enjoy coming here very early before the crowd hits.

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!

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.

My sister and I were walking around the mall, but didn't anticipate ordering anything. However, the Cherry Blossom and London Calling drinks were calling us. It was well into the evening, so I was hesitant on ordering the London Calling. The cashier informed me that the drink could be made with decaf and I was so thankful. Great customer service! Drinks were good. I would return to try their other drinks and even try out their pastries.

Gregory's Coffee was a Coffee shop that just opened up in the Tacoma Mall, right where Starbucks…read moreused to be. Like many mall stores they are a corporate company with many locations and Gregory's is no exception to that despite never hearing of it before. I went to go try it and I was pleased with my first interaction with them. They had a good Pistachio Muffin and a good iced coffee drink. The drink I specifically had was the Hall & Oats which had cinnamon, vanilla, oat milk and of course coffee. At this point this brings the Tacoma Mall back up to two Coffee shops inside the mall, like it once was. The other is a part of Nordstroms but I can say with ease that Gregory's I favor more for sure.

The place has a very campfire feel to it...hence the name. Loved the deco and picks of folks travelling and at various camps from all over. There was also a Mobile ordering station for maybe when it gets busy? I had the Nitro (maple) cold brew, which was super good. 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.
