Cosmonaut Coffee

It's a little quirky. It's not the fastest. But for years, Cosmonaut has had the best baristas and tightest quality control in Tacoma. Also,the only shop that makes cold brew as strong as I do. It should come with a warning. Plan a few extra minutes and go to Cosmonaut. It'll be worth it. Long live Satellite.

Great place to stop by when by Wright park! Atmosphere is amazing and quirky, haven't seen a coffee place with the same vibe yet. Prices are a bit high but I think it's worth it for the quality that you get. Just make sure to check the hours before going because the hours can be strange. They also serve dude donuts (would recommend the Gramma Ann).

I tried 3 drinks today. It’s rare that i drink a cortado. Thanks to Savanna, I was pleasantly surprised that the cortado (w/ dark chocolate, soy & honey) she had prepared for me was excellent. It was bold yet smooth, not bitter and not acidic. The Beetroot Cardamom Latte was also superb. Since many also wrote about their hot chocolate, I tried it as well (yes, my 3rd drink). Hot chocolate was good - smooth chocolatey drink that’s not overly sweet. I appreciate the charm of the cafe’s space and the people running the cafe. Will be back.

Cute and cozy place with friendly hospitable service and excellently crafted coffee. I loved my cortado. The barista made us feel like old friends at home and recommended some fantastic local hiking that was as magical as she promised. We’d love to spend more time because the vibes were immaculate and chill.

I found this little coffee shop on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the owner was and just the entire chill laid back vibe in there. After I was that corny person who didn’t notice all of the “no white chocolate mocha” signs and attempted to order one, I ordered a caramel macchiato and got a really fun and unique history lesson on the origins of Tacoma from the owner while I waited. Some regulars chimed in and I really enjoyed the friendly open atmosphere from people who you could tell come there allot and love the place. It kind of looks like a watering hole for older guys to hang out but it’s just coffee, and very good coffee at that! Strong but still artfully crafted. Check this place out if you want some really good coffee with some old school grit and heart from a long time Tacoma local.
