Spotted Cow Coffee
1316 S 56th St, Tacoma, WA
Crema's Take
“This Tacoma drive-thru spot has earned its reputation as a neighborhood favorite with inventive signature drinks like their celebrated "cake in a cup" and creative seasonal offerings like pumpkin pie lattes that keep regulars coming back. They stand out for the care they put into details—whipping their own cream and pairing quality espresso with excellent pastries and muffins—though consistency can be hit or miss depending on the day. It's the kind of family-friendly place where the line moves quickly and you can grab something genuinely special without leaving your car.”

Ordered one hot and one iced mocha and both had barely any syrup in it and tasted just like a latte. Also no micro foam in the latte it was not very smooth.
Always my family's go-to coffee spot, but extra thanks for the superb cake 🍰 in a cup☕! The perfect treat for my birthday! 🥳
Wildly inconsistent coffee. Some days it's great and honestly one of the best coffee stands around, and other days like today it's absolutely horrible and basically undrinkable. I ordered a mocha with raspberry, there's basically no chocolate and definitely no raspberry, and it tastes horribly burnt and bitter. The service has always been great but based on the fact that I only get a good coffee maybe 1 out of 3 visits (this is probably the 4th undrinkable coffee I have gotten) I won't be coming back
First time at this drive thru espresso. I had a mocha and my daughter had pumpin pie latte. We enjoyed the hot espressos. We also had 2 muffins that were very good. There was a line but it moved quickly.
What a delight to find such a small yet quality coffee truck! They even whip their own cream, which is a far sight better than your average starbucks. Definitely coming back so I can try the whole menu. Excellent prices too.
