“ Delicious coffee and housemade flavors! The baristas are awesome and everything is truly delicious! Bonus perk, you can walk with your coffee over to the lift bridge they're named after to get a beautiful view of the mountain! Definitely worth trying! ”
“ This coffee spot is unique and I can taste the history of the building spill into the coffee. It’s as if the coffee itself tastes roasted with the architecture and building’s purpose in mind. Call me Puget Sound hoity-toity, but for those who order coffee everyday for decades from coffee shops, at some point one notice’s with great appreciation the subtle nuance in noted flavors altered by the experience surrounding the order - even if the same coffee beans are served at another coffee shop. It’s subtle, but there is something special about the coffee brewed here. ”
“ Aussies in search of good coffee—best place so far! Matcha was from a latte powder so it was more sweet but still good. :) Service was great! Super friendly and accommodating. And shout out to the lady who served us and accommodated a drink for our kiddo. ”
“ Really cool place inside the post office building. Great drinks and food! ”
“ A solid coffee or tea spot in the downtown area. The Vampire Kiss is my favorite drink, that name is so Tacoma \_(ツ)_/ just saying but it’s delicious. Their little kitchen is currently being renovated but I’m definitely looking forward to the breakfast sandwiches. For the mean time I recommend trying one of their very good pastries. One of the big perks of this place is that it’s right next to the “ballroom” located in Court House Square, which is a beautiful room and at times quiet. ”
“ Friendly and nice barista. The coffee was good. It is a nice hall to have coffee. ”

This places more then earns five stars because of incredible coffee (I had a pour over which was amazing), great staff who took time to ask how my day was, and one of the best historical locations I have seen for a cafe. When in downtown Tacoma, visit and enjoy a visit at Lift Bridge Coffee. ”
