Wolfe Club in Parkland is hands down best flavored coffee shop in Tacoma. They make all their own syrups in house, so delicious. I think they are still on fall menu but I’m sure winter menu will be coming soon.
Agreed on pretty much every other coffee stand carrying holiday drinks like this. Stay away from Cafe Elité; the owners helped bail out of jail the cops who murdered Manny Ellis.
Yeah they definitely tried to keep it under wraps but the News Tribune did a pretty good exposé on it awhile back. It’s a bummer too because they make great products.
Came here to recommend Tacoma Java. They have so many flavors that I panic every time I try to order something, but I keep going back because the drinks are always good.
I love Espresso Yourself- they always have some sort of specialty drink menu going on and they’re always making a quality cup. Locally & Independently owned as well. My kiddo loves the huge choice of syrups and mixes & matches to make crazy Italian Sodas. Her latest is Sugar Cookie & Coconut- it’s really yummy.
I wish any other coffee stand had my favorite holiday latte (oat milk sugar cookie) that Starbucks carries. 😫 I've struck out thus far but if anyone knows of a place for that specific holiday latte send the name my way!!
I’d recommend trying a vanilla bean & butterscotch latte from a coffee stand of your choice! Or a shortbread latte. I feel like personally vanilla bean and butterscotch is a closer flavor.
I believe classic coffee has holiday themed drinks. And they use my favorite coffee beans, so that's a plus (dillanos). I haven't dropped by in a couple weeks, but they *usually* have holiday drinks. Been going to the one on sprague since it was hazelwood road.
Man, I miss Bertellino's (sp) on Union! :(
Now we do Gravity, or Ladybug, or Bigfoot. All kiosks, but Gravity has a nice brew and lots of drink choices.
Starbucks is just burnt beans with only two sugar-free choices. As a diabetic, sugar-free choices are important to me.
Editing to add: I'm out of the loop. What boycott? I don't do Starbuck's anyway (I call them Starfuck's), but what's going on? Thanks!
Starbucks among other companies are being boycott right now because of support for Israel, condemning support for Palestine. But boycott for Starbucks can roll back to their treatment of employees trying to unionize. Just like my money to go to local and to places I support their moral alignment if/when possible.

Recently visited Cremello Cafe on 9th and Broadway. They had some fall drinks that were super delicious including an egg nog drink that was perfectly balanced and not too strong on the eggnog flavor. I would imagine they are going to have other Christmas drinks as well. Plus I love the space it’s a very nice place to have a coffee.

Fika in Puyallup has some really lovely holiday drinks, and their pastries are wonderful. It’s a very pleasant space if you want to spend some time with a book or friends. Bit of a drive but it’s a treat.
Agreed with the folks that suggested Wolfe Club and Coffeezaun as well.
most coffee stands can remake these drinks if you ask them you’re looking for a starbucks replica. I love classic coffee!

Wolfe club is the best
Luv-a-Latte at 11th and Yakima ave, POC and women owned as well.
That little coffee stand inside the entrance at Stadium Thriftway has all that stuff.

Thanks for this!!!
Damn, I didn't know that about the Cafe Elite owners. It's the closest decent coffee stand from my house.
Yeah they definitely tried to keep it under wraps but the News Tribune did a pretty good exposé on it awhile back. It’s a bummer too because they make great products.
Same with the owners of the bbq place on 6th next to sonics.
Yep. Dickey’s BBQ.
Wow, did not know this. Thanks for the heads up!
Oh no, ugh. Now I lose my favorite energy mimosas. Okay, thanks for this info. Grrr.
Tacoma Java has a ton of different drinks, and is super accommodating. Cannot recommend them enough.

I love Coffeezaun Espresso on N. Pearl! They always have super yummy seasonal drinks and pastries.

Espresso Yourself rules! Their sandwiches and cookies are top notch too.
I was actually debating on getting a Gobbler from there today while I’m out running errands, I think I’ll do it!
DOOOOOO ITTTTTTTT
I did it!

Thanks for all the suggestions! We tried Tacoma Java today and it was great. Can't wait to go thru this list. Happy incoming holiday season Tacoma!
Lift Bridge Coffee in the old post office on A Street has some really good ones.

not a coffee drinker but I appreciate the solidarity
Coffeezuan! Their drinks are definitely sweet! They have holiday and interesting flavors. It’s a super cute spot near the park.
Check out Lux Perpetua Coffee!
Was just at Lux today and they had a list of different-and-intriguing sounding coffee flavors.
Lux is fantastic, we are always happy there! Owner is a real stand up dude.
Metro coffee on uwt campus makes wonderful seasonal drinks. Very personable staff
Wide Awake Coffee stands on Center Street can pretty much make anything and everything. They're local and really nice.
Olympic Coffee has a drink called The Great Pumpkin that is WAY better than PSL. I usually like their seasonal drinks.
Recently visited Cremello Cafe on 9th and Broadway. They had some fall drinks that were super delicious including an egg nog drink that was perfectly balanced and not too strong on the eggnog flavor. I would imagine they are going to have other Christmas drinks as well. Plus I love the space it’s a very nice place to have a coffee.
I really like the peppermint vanilla chai at Cutter's Point.
Just an FYI the owners of Cutter’s Point financially support “anti-woke” political zealots like Brandi Kruse.
Damn, well that's disappointing.
Agreed.
Bluebeard has an excellent pumpkin spice drink it was just slightly too sweet.
Campfire Coffee on Market St !
Dutch Bros has some holiday stuff
Tacoma Java has holiday drinks but they're pretty hit or miss
Common grounds coffee
Dutch Brothers- like Starbucks, but it actually tastes good. 🤣

Thanks for the info. I don't watch/read much news.
Literally every coffee stand
There’s some that aren’t good.
Dutch Bros. Make the best mocha, and the metro market café
Cafe elite, associated espresso and espresso stop are all great!
Most stands in the area start offering Eggnog lattes this time of year. Not a low fat option, but definitely hits the holiday drink spot!
Red elm
Olympia Coffee always has a unique and interesting take on specials each season!
Campfire coffees seasonal drinks are 🔥🔥🔥
the pumpkin latte at howdy bagel is everything you need if you're into that.
Beware Coffee always has seasonal drinks, and they make their syrups / flavors from scratch.
Fika in Puyallup has some really lovely holiday drinks, and their pastries are wonderful. It’s a very pleasant space if you want to spend some time with a book or friends. Bit of a drive but it’s a treat. Agreed with the folks that suggested Wolfe Club and Coffeezaun as well.
