    Cardamom chai
    Maggie L.

    I was disappointed none of the seasonal lattes I saw on IG was available. I opted for a hot Cardamom Chai. It's a good and strong Chai - cardamom forward, and spicy from ginger. My friend ordered a Breakfast Sandwich Special, which is a biscuit sandwich with sweet potato spread, fried egg, bacon kimchi - she said it's delicious and filling.

    Stopped by Third Space on a day trip to Tacoma and it was a nice, peaceful respite to our day. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the space is a comfortable, well-lit place. We especially liked sitting in the little couch by the front window. My hubs had a Cortado that came with the traditional side of sparkling water and I had the strawberry agua fresca. Everything was delicious and refreshing. Last but not least, they have a clean, all-gender bathroom in the back hallway. Next time we're in Tacoma, we will visit again!

    Such a gem in the Tacoma area for a breakfast and cafe spot. The navy blue urban and minimalist ambiance is a perfect environment to study or catch up with friends in. I enjoyed grabbing a bite of their BEC sandwiches and Kimchi Cheesesteaks. Their cardamom chai is also DEFINITELY a must-try as an avid chai latte addict. Their series on TikTok and Instagram on opening up their business is also really inspiring and heartwarming to watch, so I would also recommend checking those out. :)

    Love this new cafe in Tacoma! After trying it out for the first time about a month ago, I've been back 2 more times. While it's paid street parking only, finding parking hasn't been an issue and it's relatively inexpensive compared to Seattle. The space is modern and well decorated, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. As a non-coffee drinker, I've tried the blueberry milk, mango-yuzu, and strawberry agua fresa and they were all delicious. My boyfriend loves their creative coffees. We've also gotten the BEC on multiple occasions because it's delicious. Super crispy bacon in between a buttery flaky biscuit. I generally don't like biscuits because I find them dry, but Third Space changed my mind. We ordered the kimchi cheesesteak last time and it was equally delicious in a different way. I also tried the raspberry cruffin which was nice and crisp on the outside but soft and flaky on the inside. Of note, the pastries are from Lobo Bakery. Overall, 5 stars for everything done so well. Third Space is a new favorite and we will definitely be back.

    So good!!! The combination of Hot Mama breakfast sandwich and the Maple Sea Salt Latte with almond milk was legit an explosion in my mouth! The flavor was so good! The service was super friendly and very helpful to decide what to order. The ambiance is a vibe. Is a great size space, clean and simple. I highly recommend. Today was my first time and I will definitely be back!

    One of the last spots we took our sweet pup. Outside seating is so nice!

    Third Space always hits the spot. There's nothing like their biscuits. They have that perfect, flaky, savory flavor. I usually get a sausage breakfast sammy because the gochujang aioli is perfection, but sometimes I'll just get a biscuit! It's that good. The staff are always so warm and friendly, no snobby cold shoulder vibes at this spot. Highly recommend!

    Food was delicious. Cafe was clean and welcoming. Outlets were available. Free WiFi worked well. Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Bathrooms were clean! Great study spot.

    First time visiting will definitely be back. The space is clean and welcoming. We came for a quick birthday breakfast before taking my sister to the airport. Ordering was easy and friendly interaction with everyone. The coffee beverages were delicious and the breakfast sandwiches were ordered were amazing full of flavor cheese was melted biscuits were great a crisp outside and soft in the center.

    Came here for breakfast and coffee and left wanting to come back! Ducha. Cute spot in downtown Tacoma. The owners have done a nice job making a welcoming and cozy space for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. I had the Hot Mama breakfast sandwich and the Cardamom Chai. The sandwich was the right level of spice with a perfectly cooked, egg, bacon, cheese, and arugula as well as sweet Calabrian peppers and a chili aioli on a deliciously flaky fresh made biscuit. The chai was also delicious and the cardamom was the perfect addition. We will definitely be back!

    Visited again after a few months! Still great tasting food & drinks. Always greeted by kind & friendly staff! Lots of seating & outlets for guests visiting/staying to work and study. A very very cute and amazing cafe addition to Tacoma!

    Super cute new spot in Tacoma--fresh, welcoming, and the kind of place where the staff make you feel like a regular on your first visit. Everyone I chatted with was genuinely friendly, and you can tell they care about doing things in-house; the space has that tidy, thoughtful feel. I went for coffee (I usually like it very strong), and today's cup was smooth and easy to drink. For my taste, I'd bump the intensity next time--an extra shot or a darker roast option would hit the mark--but if you prefer a gentler cup, you'll probably love it. The pastry case looked tempting and they do sandwiches to order, but I wasn't hungry this round. I'm already eyeing a return visit to explore the espresso drinks and grab a hot sandwich or pastry. Small suggestion: highlight a "bold" or "strong" coffee option on the board so people like me know exactly what to ask for. Friendly team, cozy vibe--looking forward to coming back and trying more.

    Delicious Raspberry and Hibiscus pastry!
    Alden C.

    Downtown Tacoma really needed a place like this. Especially for the lunch crowd. I was at the end of my rope with trying to treat myself during the work week to eat out during my lunch break. I used to go to other restaurants that worked with the lunch crowd and after getting poor food quality (as in mold in my food) and online orders that seemed to always be inaccurate there seemed few options and diversity left for lunch. I have a pretty heavy tolerance for mistakes involving orders and customer service so it has to be pretty bad in order for me to walk away. So this is definitely a breathe of fresh air. I knew Third Space was doing a soft opening which often means it isn't quite fully operational yet so I waited a few weeks until they were. I got a wonderful Caprese type sandwich (sorry, the exact name of the sandwich I can't recall but it also had meat in it) with some pesto sauce that was absolutely wonderful. I also got a pastry which was Raspberry and Hibiscus flavored that was wonderful! To drink I saw that they had Horchata which I love getting and it didn't disappoint in the slightest. Very good quality food and friendly service will definitely have me coming back here!

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!

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!

The drinks are consistently good and fairly priced for the area. There's ample room to sit and enjoy the views of the theaters. A great place to stop by if you're doing some shopping on Antique Row or about to catch a performance. The Broadway Farmers' Market is also just a few steps away, so all in all it's in a very convenient part of one of Tacoma's handful of truly pedestrian friendly neighborhoods.

My only recommendation if they look into the reviews is to remove the center table and put 2 more 2 seater tables if it still allows within capacity. Never change. Your coffee is great.
