Beware Coffee
3562 McKinley, Tacoma, WA
Crema's Take
“This Tacoma gem pulls off something rare: expertly executed espresso drinks alongside boldly creative signatures like their notoriously floral rose mocha that actually tastes like a memory. The baristas clearly know their craft and genuinely care about making your visit special, whether you're ordering a perfectly poured latte or adventuring into their unique flavor combinations, all served in aesthetic mugs that make you want to linger. It's the kind of place that earns three-year regulars and out-of-towners alike, especially if you claim a seat early on weekends when the cozy vibe fills up fast.”

The coffee is actually pretty strong and has good flavor. I tried out their rose mocha and it actually tasted so strongly of rose it tasted exactly like the smell of the bath products i had as a kid. I'd definitely get a normal drink next time but the coffee itself is good! Very busy and hard to find seating on a saturday around 1pm, but the line moved very quickly and orders were out in a timely manner. Pastries are dry and not the most flavorful.
Great little find. The barista was so nice and informative. I suggest getting there early on a weekend if you want to get a table because it did get busy. They had many unique coffee options. It was dog friendly as well.
Coffee is really good and came in an aesthetic mug, although I must admit it’s harder to rate the quality of the coffee when it’s hot compared to iced. Uhhhh regardless, I know a thing or two about coffee and this stuff rates at the top of my list, plus good staff and atmosphere.
The coffee is amazing and so are the vibes!!! One of my favorite spots to stop at while in Tacoma as someone not from the area. Pastries are delicious too - would absolutely recommend the bacon Parmesan biscuit! For here mugs are so cute and every drink I’ve had was delicious.
Probably one of the best coffee shops in Tacoma area. Coffee tastes amazing and the latte art never disappoints. Been going here for about 3 years now and smokey spice 1/2 sweet is my personal favorite :)
