Anthem - Old Town Tacoma
2312 N 30th St, Tacoma, WA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Old Town Tacoma with genuine neighborhood character, this espresso-focused spot brings creative energy to traditional coffee culture and apparently features some memorable equipment (there's talk of a flamethrower involved). While service can be inconsistent, the coffee itself earns praise when done right, and the atmosphere makes it worth lingering over a breakfast sandwich and a well-crafted drink.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Nice friendly service. Great drinks.
Yet another reason that should be on your list for avoiding chain places. If you’re in the PNW, there’s no excuse. This is a solid little spot with a fantastic menu—and a flamethrower (check the video). Need I say more? The matcha was good and the crème brûlée was fantastic.…
This place has an old town feel. The service was not great, but the coffee was amazing. It's a good place to sit & drink your coffee or eat your breakfast sandwich.
