Crema's Take
“Bluebeard Coffee Roasters brings serious roasting credentials to South Tacoma with espresso-forward drinks that earn consistent praise, from carefully crafted cappuccinos to creative specialty lattes that showcase quality technique. The space itself is notably clean and thoughtfully curated—with great music selection and an upbeat atmosphere that feels equally welcoming whether you're settling in for a slow coffee moment or meeting friends, and their pastry program (the lemon curd cruffin is a standout) pairs beautifully with their coffee. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where you can tell the team genuinely cares about every detail, from barista service to food quality.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

This was a lovely place. I got a triple shot oatmilk caramel vanilla latte and a lemon curd cruffin. The lemon curd cruffin was the best thing since sliced bread. There was lemon curd throughout the entire thing and the crust was buttery and soft. I definitely recommend it. The…
Great coffee place in South Tacoma! Typically one has to go to the North End to get this caliber of coffee. Had the bacon and egg brioche from 3Hearts and a latte with oatmilk. BTW, love the music selection too: playing creatures in Heaven by Glass Animals.
