Bluebeard Coffee Roasters - Tacoma

Nice local coffee shop that roasts in store. Fast service and well made drinks. Could use more drink options on their menu. Support local businessFood: 5/5

I love blue beard. Great local coffee, not much for food but it's a great place to meet up with a friend or get started on a project. Their roast is fantastic for drip, espresso, or coldbrew literally everything is good. My favorite is their cold brew oat milk latte, which they have on draft and you can bring home as a crowler.Food: 5/5

Meh, coffee is ok at best, speaking as a former barista at a high-end cafe. That didn 't bother me. The vibe is relaxing you can work and avoid social interactions with the rest of the remote workers that use it as a working space. The baristas on the other hand were snobby and rude. Give people a moment to order, don 't make them feel like dirt because they don 't understand your menu. Not everyone is from a big coffee culture. I came in with my partner who is from not a place that has coffee like us. A worker literally turned around and stared at him when he asked me how I knew what to order. The person taking the order also looked at us like we weren 't their preferred clientele.It 's so fascinating to me how people in coffee can be so rude to their customers instead of using it as an opportunity to educate about something you are passionate about. And honestly this isn 't just a Bluebeard issue. I have come in several times over the last 2 years of living in Tacoma and waited to leave this review until now. The treatment of my partner was the tipping point. Just don 't act like your customers are d that 's all. Why would we want to spend our money here if that is how we were treated?

Bright and airy, laid back vibes, and the best coffee in Tacoma. Only complaint is the smoke from the roaster makes it difficult to breathe. This is not healthy, they need better ventilation.

This is my favorite coffee shop. Their coffee beans are excellently roasted in house and their espresso drinks are delicious as well. The atmosphere is great to hang out with friends, read a book, or get some work done. The employees are incredibly nice and awesome baristas.Food: 5/5
