The award for my favorite coffee shop of all time goes to Beware Coffee in Tacoma! The love for coffee is truly felt here from the warm, welcoming people working behind the counter to the unconventional house-made syrups to the delicious pastries (and I mean delicious) to the handcrafted ceramic mugs to sip out of. The space invites you to come sit and relax while you drink your almond cookie latte and eat your cinnamon croissant roll. The love and care that goes into this cafe is something very special. The owner is often working the espresso machine himself! This is a true local gem.
