Obsession Espresso
604 112th St E, Tacoma, WA
Crema's Take
“Obsession Espresso is a no-frills espresso stand in Tacoma where the baristas know their regulars by heart and have your drink ready before you finish ordering. The shop keeps things straightforward with solid traditional espresso drinks at fair prices, making it the kind of place where weekday morning regulars clearly feel seen and valued. While service can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the window, the coffee itself earns loyalty from customers who appreciate honest, unfussy espresso work.”

Cute girls I go in the morning on weekdays and she always has my drink ready super sweet girl too
Got denied service due to my tint. While i completely understand why someone in this job would be weary of cars you cant see in, i find it unacceptable to not only ignore somebody after serving someone a drink, but to bring a customer from behind me to the otherside and tell them you wont be serving anyone because of my tint?? (he told me after she had talked to him) please keep in mind i had my window down up until i assumed she went on a smoke break and rolled it up. I also want to add i could see her with the camrra app open on her phone whether she was taking pictures of the tint or whatever just thought it was strange considering the situation. Long story short, Not upset i was denied service, im upset because of how I found out about it. (Wed, July 30th around 7 10- 7 25ish in the morning)
My only regret is that I didn't get her name. Most beautiful girl I've ever seen. It was awesome, I was with my dad on a little vacation and I asked him if he wanted a coffee. He said sure so I pulled in and he did a double take. I almost died it was so funny. She was super sweet and really engaged with us. It was a really cool experience. They don't have that shit in Chicago !!
Went with a friend here, first time ever going to a place like this. Barista rushed us to order because she said she was cold and then stood far back from the window while we told her what we wanted. $20 for 2 drinks. Got mad when I didn't tip her (mind you she was only really at the window when she was handing us our drinks), said that it was proper etiquette to tip and that some girls would've slammed the window on us for something like that. She then let out a huge sigh as she closed the window. Me and my friend both took a sip of our drinks and threw them away because they were so bad. Waste of time and money. Would've got cheaper, better coffee at Starbucks and probably better service too 👍🏼
Good coffee, good service usually. They have made some positive changes since my last very negative review. I have been pleasantly surprised by the coffee prices being the same at all stands. The other issues seem to have been corrected also. In the Pierce county area they are the main go-to in bikini coffee and are way better than the big name coffee giant...taste wise.
