Café Elite
301 Harman Way S, Puyallup, WA
Crema's Take
“Café Elite has earned fierce loyalty over its 15-year history in Puyallup by balancing genuine warmth with creative skill—regulars rave about early morning barista Ally's consistency and the team's talent for custom drinks that go beyond the typical menu. This cozy corner spot on Bridge Street thrives on the kind of personable service that makes people come back multiple times a week, whether they're grabbing a quick coffee at 4:30am or settling in for a slow sit with a signature creation like their dirty chai or piña colada frappe.”

Shout out to Orting Cafe Elite and their early morning barista Ally. I have been stopping here at 4:30am a couple of times a week for over a year and receive awesome service. Ally makes a yummy custom dirty soda and iced caramel mocha. And always ensures I am happy with my drink before I go. She starts my day off with sincere kindness which on some days helps me more than the drink itself.
I have been going to Cafe Elite, (and the previous incarnation, Parkside Perk) for coming up on 15 years now. I can think of only one time that they "missed", when they forgot to add the flavoring to my white-on-white coffee. (I went back a few minutes later...they fixed it immediately). The staff is always all smiles, the coffee is amazing, and it comes out fast. Can't say enough good about them. 10/10
12.20.25 I wish I didn't tip. 3 girls working in here today. I ordered 4 drinks and they couldn't get it right. It could have been that they were too busy entertaining the guy in the silver Tacoma who didn't order anything. This is the second time this week that ordering at this location has disappointed me. It makes me want to stop going to any of the other locations even though I haven't had any issues at any other Cafe Elite. Once they made my coffee right it was great but the service is consistently poor at this location.
We love this coffee stand. The barristas are always so kind and personable, and have made us the most amazing custom drinks. The service has always been speedy for us, even with long lines.
This location is tucked the corner of Bridge Street and Harman Way. The place is clean and comfortable. I've dropped by here three times when in town. I have ordered the dirty chai, piña colada frappe and chai tea. All drinks have been good and on point. They have a reward system. They have been really nice and engaging. My drinks are made pretty quickly.
