Thomas Hammer
6630 E Sprague, Spokane Valley, WA
Crema's Take
“Thomas Hammer in Spokane Valley is an espresso-focused café where creativity shines through signature drinks like their standout ginger matcha and inventive seasonal offerings, though quality can be inconsistent depending on which barista is pulling your shots. When the team is on, you'll find genuinely warm service and baristas willing to remake drinks without hesitation, making it a welcoming spot for both casual coffee lovers and those seeking something more adventurous than standard café fare. The vibe is relaxed and sit-friendly, though reputation-wise this specific Sprague and Thierman location seems to have more ups and downs than their downtown counterpart.”

The baristas here are always so sweet and engaging. They were quick to help remake my drink when it seemed like maybe the coffee shots were off? No questions asked, just fixed. MUCH BETTER and exactly what I needed for my busy day. Thanks!!!
No greeting! No apology for the treat. And the drink was too hot. Last time. Third time was not a charm. It’s this specific location on Sprague and Thierman. The DT location is amazing customer service.
As a coffee lover who traveled all the way from Scotland, I had high expectations for Thomas Hammer, and I'm thrilled to say they were exceeded! From the moment I walked in, Alexus made me feel welcome. She patiently guided me through the menu, offering fantastic recommendations tailored to my tastes. The teams warmth and genuine interest in ensuring I had a great experience were truly remarkable. I saw Alanya ask if a kid wanted a sticker and asked for her preference, it warmed my heart to see how much she went out of her way to go above and beyond for a child and her mother! While I was there, an unfortunate incident occurred with another customer who was being incredibly rude. However, Alexus and Alanya handled the situation with such grace and professionalism that it actually reassured me. Seeing them both de-escalate the situation with such elegance was a testament to the quality of the staff at Thomas Hammer. Despite that brief moment of discomfort, my overall experience was outstanding, largely thanks to Alexus. I'll definitely be returning to Thomas Hammer, and I can't wait to see Alexus and Alanya again – she's an absolute star and a true asset to your team!
Why can this place not make an accurate drink? It's hit or miss with service if you get someone friendly or not. Every drink no matter what tastes likes burnt espresso. I gave it two stars as my husband and friend used to like the black coffee but recently it hasn't tasted as good as the other locations in their opinion. Limited sugar free options. I finally ordered off their special menu and tried their pumpkin drink and banana bread drink dealing with full sugar just to get something they were familiar with. It tastes like burnt coffee and a ton of milk. I dint not taste the flavor at all. For the price, I'd rather go down the road and get something yummy and not tasting burnt like. I gave a five star for their food as their chorizo burrito and gouda Sammie are pretty good but i think they just have to microwave that and sometimes they don't do that right and I have to nuke it again when home or at work. Maybe this place needs a training session or two.
Great place to go in the morning and grab a cup of coffee or tea. We ordered pomegranate latte, vanilla lavender coffee and ginger matcha. The last drink was divine! It really helped me to stand on my feet at the beginning of the day. Ginger was not overpowering, just right amount to feel the kick. We ordered burritos and lemon poppyseed muffins. Everything tasted great! They warmed up every pastry. The taste of coffee was amazing! Really recommend this place if you are near!
