Not to mention, they sell adorable locally made products--the proceeds from which go towards local LGBTQ+ support groups. Their coffee also is absolutely amazing. I got the Main Squeeze latte and it was delicious. It tasted exactly like a lemon blueberry muffin! I will definitely be coming back here.

The espresso tasted quite bitter and my drink wasn't good. When I arrived, the barista, who I believe may have been the owner, was sitting at one of the tables talking with a friend. After I walked up to the counter, it took about two minutes for her to come over and take my order, as there was no other barista working. On a positive note, the café itself is very cute and aesthetically decorated. I especially loved the inspirational quotes displayed on the tables. They also had a shelf featuring crafts made by a local artist, which I thought was a wonderful way to support the community. Overall, the space was charming, but the coffee and service could use some improvement.

Now let's talk about my drink - Cookie Butter Hojicha Latte (hot)! I'm a huge fan of hojicha, but I don't get it often as it's not as common as matcha. When I ordered, I was actually thinking about a cold drink, but I'm so glad I didn't mention cold or hot, because the hot version is the best hot drink I've had this year - creamy, subtly sweet, the nuttienss of cookie butter just works perfectly with the hojicha. The store also carries baked goods from 2 local bakeries (one is Lobo Bakery) in Tacoma, and all the baked goods are reasonably priced. I enjoyed the Black Sesame Sugar Miso Morning Bun - gently sweet, buttery and flaking, paired well with the hojicha.

Civic Roasters is a new coffee shop that has opened up in Tacoma and the two times I have been here…read morehave been great! On both visits I got their Hojicha Lattes. On our first occasion the latte was iced and on the second it was hot. Both versions of this drink were great! Hojicha is a roasted Japanese Green Tea just in case specifics are needed here. On the first time chef Jan Parker was also hear serving food from a small menu which made this coffee shop extremely busy! But on the second time when no additional activities or events were happening it was really chill and I was the only customer. Steve and I got baked goods too, a real Achilles Heel for us and they are very good. I believe if memory serves they come from El Lobo Bakery if we recall the signage correctly. So between the drinks and the baked goods Civic Roasters is a great addition to the Tacoma coffee shop scene.

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.

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.

Definitely a must-stop for my Tacoma visits!

So we took advantage of the sunny weather and found this super cute cafe to get our cafe-culture fix. Roundabout Cafe has their own parking but when we pulled in, most of the parking was taken and so we parked in the stalls available a few steps from the cafe. The cafe has super cute French style seating up front and bar seating on the side. Inside, there are two bistro tables that seats 4 and window counter seating. The restaurant pleasantly asks if you're a single patron, to sit along the window during busy hours. Cafe has monthly specials that we took advantage of, a large selection of refreshing and caffeinated drinks, art for sale and ice cream that was suggested to order today, but will reserve for next time, and there will be a next time. Staff was super helpful and friendly making this a pleasant experience. We will be making this a regular stop in future family visits.
