Easily missed so look for the little strip plaza. The music store is vacant but if there’s still a red piano on the roof then you can’t miss it. About 17 parking spaces and street parking. They have their permanent menu on the wall. Typical espresso, coffee, matcha, lattes. The on line menu does not reflect what they have in store. It needs to be updated. I asked for the most popular and I didn’t feel like coffee. Ended up with strawberry matcha. It was the perfect drink. Fresh strawberry purée on the bottom, milk, and very lite matcha. It wasn’t the bold, earthy strong flavor. You still taste the matcha but it was well mixed together with the creaminess from the oat milk. Also tasted Thai Tea and same, it was not your typical strong black tea with ton of sweetness from half and half. It says, “splash” of half and half so this drink was also lite in traditional flavor. I really enjoyed the color scheme of this shop. They had merchandise with great soft quality. We bought one of the dad hats. I would have gotten a hoodie but all was left were XL and above. I also love how they hand write an inspirational note on each cup lid.

This is a cute café I often visit after school. The food isn’t outstanding, mostly light snacks, but the coffee is excellent. The coffee has a slight bitterness blended with the creaminess of milk, creating a simple yet delicious latte. The space is cozy, decorated with adorable items, and filled with the faint aroma of coffee, making it an ideal place to study. Most notably, the barista is extremely friendly.

SUMMER: The Honey Kiss is the best iced coffee drink I've ever had. All the coffee drinks here are great and the vibe is mellow and sweet. WINTER UPDATE: The Cardigan Latte is my favorite coffee drink in Tacoma. It's cardamom, honey, and black salt. They really know how to make good foam too! I love this place 💕
