★★★★★ 5.0 JORDAN KNOWLTON · Sep 2025

Such a great feel-good, all-inclusive third space. Perfect place to sit, relax, and enjoy a warm drink with some delicious food. The staff were super friendly and service was quick. Easy to get to with public transportation almost right to the front doors, plus plenty of parking available. A cozy, welcoming spot I’ll definitely be coming back to.

We came here for brunch with friends and it was really delicious. We tried the gluten-free waffles and a breakfast sandwich. We went there around 11 in the morning on a Saturday and it was easy to find a table, but it was definitely crowded which was a great sign. The coffee was delicious and the atmospherewas nice. Overall, a great place to go for coffee and or brunch.

This is such a cute little cafe! I was thrilled that they offered gluten free options to their waffles! The caramel drizzle was so good I didn't even think to use the extra syrup on the table! They also had gluten free soy free doughnuts! It's been so long since I'm been able to enjoy a good doughnut! The Macha was delicious as well. We'll definitely be going back any time we stop off in Tacoma!

Love this adorable little cafe! It's super cute and very welcoming. This establishment is LGBTQIA+ friendly and has a diverse menu with many vegan and gluten-free options. There is a cute little kids area to bring the little ones if you must lol. They have a room in the back for private rentals and also the place itself can be rented after hours for private events. Give this place a try. The gluten free muffins are divine.

Great prices, accommodating to dietary needs, and very welcoming. Our barista was especially sweet and provided a great recommendation for what to eat. Glad I took a chance on this place.
