I cannot say enough or what would even amount to the equivalency of what Tibbitts deserves. First the setting. It can and will be whatever you need it to be. Intimate, family, fun. There is so much about the owner and others who have visited on the walls. Old kitchen accessories, pictures and a couple of posters that show their dedication to a certain series Im sure we all binge watched. A very creative space that gives you an insight on the roots attached to Tibbitts, you can smile and nod at the picture of Shawns mom hanging high so she can see her sons dream in action. You can read about Shawns amazing story online on how his dream came true. What an inspiration of love and dedication. I encourage you all to go read it. So when you see the way this man greets his guests you will know a bit of his heart. He definitely enjoys what he does. Art from a local school is beautiful and an added sweet touch. It's like getting an inside peek into someone's life and before you meet them you just admire the living example that they are, living their best life.Second the Crew. With the few staff members they have, they pull it off. Very professional but personable, everyone was a blessing to encounter. My hat goes off to the crew. It makes for a nice at home feel with the limited seating. I see why reservations are required and why Tibbitts is only open on the weekends. Which brings us to the food. The menu is small but it packs a punch with variety and flavor. The stainless steel mugs keep your coffee hot the ENTIRE time. Good portions. Phenomenal flavor. Again, the kitchen crew is legit!!! Everything perfect to the point of heavenly blissfulness. I can say with all that is magical here you will want to come back. P.S. Don't forget to water the plants Shawn. ;)~Sarah from t-townParking: Parking was not an issue. I drive a large truck and I was able to park in the back of the lot no problem. There were plenty of open parking spaces.

It’s small and lively. They make you feel welcome. The food is amazing and well portioned. You will get previews of the menu as they’re announced and delivered to the other patrons. Definitely a must when visiting Tacoma or for a decent meal.

To say I was really blown away by my experience here may be an understatement! You may not think much of this little hole in the wall restaurant tucked in the corner of Tacoma, but the food and the service speaks volumes of the care the owner has for this restaurant. I recognized the owner from the website’s photo immediately upon arrival and was impressed that he was here on a busy Sunday morning. Throughout our meal, I watched him introduce himself to every single customer and personally thank them for their business. This is just not something you see from many small businesses anymore, but certainly created a welcoming environment that made everyone feel like family. Lastly of course, the food! Be sure to bring your appetites because the portions are very generous! The menu was seasonal which indicates to me that the chef is committed to serving quality produce that is in season therefore the tastiest! The flavors were excellent and a nice nod to the Alaskan heritage this restaurant emulates. All in all, I would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Be sure to make reservations ahead of time!

If you haven't been, you're missing out. Tibbitts is a delicious, hole in the wall, family friendly, eco friendly restaurant. The owner is absolutely fantastic and goes above and beyond to make you feel like family. Make a reservation, you won't regret it!

What a great place!! First time here and the food and service were phenomenal! Chef Shawn came to our table (as well as the other tables) to see how we were doing. It’s the personal touch that I enjoyed the most. I had the ‘My Native Roots” and my husband had the ‘The ‘Tiny’ Burrito’. Don’t let the name fool you! We will be definitely be back in the very near future!

Reservation only. I have never been to a reservation only breakfast cafe. What a weird concept. I called them in front of their restaraunt to ask if we could make a reservation for right now and if they have space available, and they said yes (what??) and then they said they can seat us in 20 minutes, so we left.
