My original review was pretty crass. I would say I'm a changed man over the past 10 years, but am I really? 10 years later, their lattes are still great. Bluebeard is probably one of my favorite Tacoma coffee roasters. With that said, a couple of obersvations: They have a very well designed marketing package. Great logo with blue plastic coffee bags. However, what am I supposed to do with the plastic bags when I am done with the coffee? Valhalla sells coffee bags in compostable paper bags. Their graphics and colors may not have the same sex appeal to Bluebeard, but the bags are much more environmentally friendly. Because of the plastic bags that Bluebeard insists on using, we have been buying less Bluebeard and trying to buy other beans that are more eco friendly. Tacoma local Valhalla, and Boon Boona are the two that come to mind. Coffee is just as good, with better packaging. We still stop here from time to time when we're in Tacoma, just wish they put a little more thought into being eco friendly instead of building a brand identity.

Amazing corner spot, great study atmosphere, service quick and high class, try espresso and you'll get best presentation. Gladly recommend, some days hard to stay due to crowd :)

Very nice ambiance and super friendly staff. We came with a very large group and they managed to get all our drinks out very efficiently. The only not great parts of this experience are that both my wife and my drinks (vanilla latte and mocha) seemed a little bit milky and the prices are a little bit high for Tacoma. Fair for the craftsmanship that goes into each drink though.

If your in the mood for fancy coffee in Tacoma, this is the place. Neighborhood coffee spot with ample seating areas and roasted coffee prepared in house. On a Sunday morning the place was packed with students, families, and people just hanging out. So cozy with tables large and small. The fancy coffee listed above was delicious . I also had a blueberry crumble cookie or cake. I would definitely order it again. On my next trip to Tacoma, I will be back.

We had a nice little walk to Bluebeard from our AirBnB in the historic North Slope. My husband and I both got lattes that were delicious. They have a very good selection of pastries. Plenty of non-dairy alternative and vegan and gluten free options.

Really cool coffee place to hang out at. My espresso coffee was yummy, Morgan was the barista and she is super friendly. The area is huge to sit around and hang out. They sell coffee beans/grounds and hoodies. There are couches to hang out at. I definitely will come back if I'm in the area

I went here on a Wednesday morning. I like the open atmosphere and they roast the coffee in house. I thought the coffee was really good and I liked all the different options that they have. My only ask is I wish my Americano would have been hotter. The barista was also super informative about the different beans the company has.

This coffee shop is very close to our airbnb. It was very convenient for us to grab and go. The latte was really good. It had both milk and coffee taste. They also have a selection of bake goods also. I had the croissant, which was buttery. We thoroughly enjoyed our coffee and would go again with visiting again.

Superb coffee! It was a great ambiance to work from for a couple hours and the staff were very friendly. Came in on a weekday morning and everyone was pretty quiet with minor chit chat so it was perfect for me to get a couple hours of work done.
