Christina Nelson - Truly the best coffee I have had in Tacoma. The indie vibe and excellent coffee makes this the best place in Tacoma to dial down and get work done.

Christina Nelson - Metro Coffee is one of downtown Tacoma's hidden gems! I used to stop by almost everyday before class while I was a student at UW Tacoma. Their coffee is delicious, they have a different type of tea for every occasion, and their baristas will treat you like family. If you find yourself on the UWT campus, I recommend stopping by Metro for a vanilla latte. You won't be disappointed!

Christina Nelson - Campfire Coffee opened in Tacoma this past year and they've been a favorite for me ever since. I had no idea coffee roasted over a campfire could be so good! They also deserve an award for having the cutest merch in their online store.

Jessica Graham - Campfire Coffee recently opened in Tacoma and is amazing! They roast all of their coffee over a campfire, and work with community organizations to get more families out into nature.

Elisa Lee - This is such a cute and welcoming coffee shop! There's a little nook in the corner where you can cozy up and chat. Or, there are tables that would be perfect for studying/working. The dessert waffle is my favorite!

Christina Nelson - Mad Hat brews some of the best tea in Tacoma! They have an enormous selection to choose from and their staff is so friendly. Great place to stop and enjoy a cup!
