My favorite coffee shop. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is pared-back but still cozy. It’s no-frills, but super pleasant and reliable.The neighborhood surrounding Lander is perfect for a walk with your coffee too.

Coffee is, in my opinion, terrible. I’ve tried their drinks 4 times now and each time I haven’t been impressed in the slightest. No gluten free options either, which is somewhat understandable, but they have enough inventory to do so. The atmosphere is the thing that elevates the rating slightly, because it is beautifully decorated and nice to work in. I do wish they could make value of a $6 drink.

When I need to escape the hustle and bustle of Seattle coffee shops I come here to relax. I went here countless times while living in Tacoma and I never had a bad experience. The staff is consistently friendly, the coffee is solid, and there are some tasty food options. They're a micro-roaster so they offer some retail in-house roasts that range from $16-$21 for 12oz (love to see affordable quality coffee). This time around I ordered their Los Dos Socios Guatemala on espresso which was very well balanced and the sausage egg breakfast sandwich which was neither dry nor bland. The seating options were mostly full since people have gone back to school and need a place to study, and even though there are a ton of seats I wish there were more comfy couches to relax on. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if ur craving good coffee, good food, or just need a place to get some work done.

Heading down from Seattle one afternoon to beat the traffic, this was just the kind of place I was looking to spend a few hours doing work before dinner with friends. Lander was a little more off the beaten path and I stumbled onto when the shop I had researched was packed to the gills. I am glad that was the case, because this was more my vibe: spacious modern interior design with big windows, lots of seating for setting up your solo work or hanging with a friend. The barista was super sweet and friendly, they have a succinct drink menu and I was able to get a decaf Americano to sip into the late afternoon. By the time I arrived, most of the food was gone, but what they had looked tasty. The only thing that could have made it even better was if they were open until 6PM instead of 5PM to bridge into the evening. But 5PM is still great, and later than a lot of the places I frequent up north. I will definitely visit again when in Tacoma!

The music and art vibe really stands out for a local coffee shop especially in Washington. Great coffee and friendly staff. Would come again

Some employees putting out pretentious condescending vibes, others pretty cool. The coffee is legit, temperature inside feels like 95 degrees.

Delicious coffee, friendly baristas, cozy neighborhood feel. It would be lovely if they had more gluten free food options though
