There is a lot to say about this place. We have been going here for almost a year and absolutely…read morelove the food. I can not decide what I like the most. I think the Paptty melt is my absolute favorite (and my son with food Aversions loves it too which is awesome). I like it both with their tasty Marbled Rye and also Sour Dough. Their fries and crispy home fries are something to look forward to (although the crispy home fries need some salt). The staff here is friendly and is really good about taking care of their customers. The only thing that is hard is having to wait and when it is busy it can take a while. The place itself reminds me of a very old cafeteria, however. Once you have the food it's something you don't even think about. It is definitely worth the wait and the money for this delicious food!

My boyfriend and I came here around 9:20am as we were waiting for an event nearby that started at…read more10am. As we entered, it was super packed and there was a large party waiting to be seated. Luckily, the waitresses noticed us and told us that a party of two could be seated right away. We were seated at a booth near a window which was cute and intimate. We were offered coffee right away and it's wonderful that the servers here are always wandering around at coffee at the right times to refill as my boyfriend never had an empty or cold cup of coffee. When we were ordering, we were told that they were backed up on orders but we didn't mind since we had time. I got the SOS full order with a side of grits with my boyfriend got the Mary Mary's breakfast bite. The grits were a good size but it wasn't really worth getting. I feel like they should add cheese on top for the price too. The gravy was great with my breakfast plate and my boyfriend enjoyed his breakfast bite. We'll come back once we try some of the other spots around as there are quite a bit a few diners in the Spanaway area to which one is our favorite but so far this is not a bad spot for those who enjoy American breakfast, lunch or dinner. The service here is definitely friendly no matter who comes by. They greet you with such kindness and bid you farewell with the same amount. They are also pretty good about checking in at the right times. The interior here feels very classical retro American diner. The bathroom here was clean and well-maintained.

Didn't say hi or anything, just literally starred at me until I ordered my 12 oz white chocolate mocha for a grand total of $5.40. A 12 ounce. She told me the price, I handed her my card, she ran it, handed it back. I signed. She said "have a great day". That was the entire interaction. It was colder than ice cubes in an ice bath. Which was surprising because (it appeared) she was showing the customer infront of me pictures on her phone. She looked like she was in a good mood? Who knows but I won't be coming back. I can see the logistics of the location sucks but nothing staff can do about that.

They always ask about your wellbeing before getting down to business. I tried some of the specials here but my favorite has to be the most basic drink there (and at any coffee place really).... HOT WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA. I don't know what it is but it is soooooo good. The fragrant coffee and the sweetness of the white choco is delicious. Their white choco mocha has so much more flavor than many local and chain coffee shops or espresso stands in the area. The only downside are the prices but I don't mind spending 4-5 bucks there every once in awhile. If you like your white chocolate mocha to be on the sweeter side, I suggest stopping by at Perk Central.

But all of that changed recently as I finally swung by to get a hot coffee drink here. This coffee place is a drive up so there isn't any place to sit unless you plan to hang out in your car. I got mocha while on my first visit here and I liked it quite a bit! Nice, rich chocolate was well featured with a creaminess in the body. Nice and soothing for the rainy day I was encountering that day. I also got a banana nut muffin top to snack on which was good. The barista was really nice and super cool to chat with.

The raisin and walnut bread was especially good when toasted with some butter--just as the owner recommended. It was delicious.

The owner always kind and welcoming. I arrived a bit late on this visit, so I didn't order coffee. But next time I'll definitely come earlier to try their new ube latte.

Instead of using syrup like most places, they blend it with real strawberry purée, and you can absolutely taste the difference. It's fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The shop has a cozy, inviting vibe, and the owner was super friendly and quick. You can tell they take pride in their drinks and ingredients. If you're a matcha lover (or just love a good strawberry moment), do yourself a favor and try their strawberry matcha. They have different desserts and sandwiches available as well which I can't wait to try soon! Coffee Kitchen just jumped to the top of my Tacoma favorites!
