Crema's Take
“Steamy Shots pulls a genuinely smooth, rich espresso that hits the mark for a quick caffeine fix, and the baristas are consistently friendly and knowledgeable. That said, the reviews lean heavily on barista personalities rather than coffee quality, which is a yellow flag—you're paying for the people as much as the drinks, and that's not a reliable foundation for repeat visits. If you're in Tacoma and want solid espresso without expecting anything revelatory, it's worth a stop, but manage your expectations.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab.

I only go here to see Tess when she's working, always has the skimpiest and sexiest outfits with a banging body. She makes great drinks and really entertains you as shes making them. You can tell when she's working with her yellow and pink mustang. Be sure to tip for the amount…
