Cutters Point Coffee

Excellent coffee place. Many choices and clean environment. Starbucks doesn’t make any sense when you can go enjoying better coffee for less. Very recommended family –run coffee shop!

I love Cutters Point. I think they have the best espresso, and try to be sustainable and have a great mission. Wish there were more in Tacoma still.

I’m used to cutters point as there are three within 5 miles of where I live, and this one seems to be up to par with the rest of them as far as I can tell. The coffee is more smooth than Starbuck’s and the baristas are usually always friendly.

Best coffee ever! And I think best staff too! Their pastries are from local bakeries — so you can count on it being fresh! If you’re on a budget, they have discounted pastries on their day old stuff! Since its from local bakeries its still delicious. The other popular coffee chain just sells it at the same price — even if stale! The downside is that we don’t have a Cutters Point in So. Cal!

I just moved downtown and I’m within walking distance of this place and it is quickly becoming my favorite coffee shop in Tacoma.
The espresso that they use is really quite good. It’s very smooth but maintains a certain boldness and the drinks are very consistent. They also have a good variety of pastries, paninis, and sandwiches although I haven’t had a chance to try them yet.
The people who work here are extremely friendly and work hard maintaining this place. If they aren’t making drinks or talking to their regulars, they are hard at work cleaning. The place is very big and the high ceilings keep the place well ventilated. But most of all this place just has that feel of being a great local coffee shop. It’s quiet and they have decent internet so it’s great for reading/​getting some work done. Definitely going to be a regular here.

This coffee shop is very cold, the coffee mediocre, and the food was fairly bad. Do not recommend.

A fairly middle-​of-​the-​road type place for coffee. It’s trying to feel very indie, but comes across rather chain-​ey. Coffee was alright, nothing spectacular. Would much rather go to Anthem Coffee across the street.

I love the location when its a clear day, other wise parking is not that easy. I had gone in for a latte and when I received it, it was off in flavor. I asked the man if he would mind remaking it and had no problem. Been back a few more time, I know find this is my regular coffee stop. Its great having something so good walking distance from my home.

Very cute spot with a lovely view and delightful tea. Great bulletin board in the back as well.

This has always been one of my favorite local coffee shops! The atmosphere is conducive to both schoolwork and relaxation.

Great location, great selection, nice ambience.
Try the blended Bananas Foster.
The barrista was very friendly – and very pretty – and the service is excellent.

GREAT Coffee, fantastic Location, Ambiance unlike any other Cutters Point
One of the best, most comfortable and interesting coffee shops in Tacoma. Cutters Point shops are always great — this one is unlike all the others, in that it does not have a drive-​through (a normal franchise requirement), and is set up in an old brownstone building … all the others are brand-​new facilities, specifically BUILT for the franchise operation.
Which gives this particular shop a very warm, «Old» feel. The employees are OUTSTANDING, interesting, charming and professional — many of whom have been here for years.
You are within walking distance to «Hello Cupcake», the U.W. Tacoma Bookstore, Grassis Garden Café, Harmon Brewing and Renaissance Café (a nice breakfast stop). There are plenty of plugins for your laptop or tablet, the coffee is GREAT and food items excellent.

I love this place because of the location and the coffee is pretty good!
However, the first time I went there the female working the front counter totally ignored me for the first five minutes I stood there while she talked to her friend at the side counter. I let it got because hey we have all had those days.
The second time I went there my americano was horrid. Tasted absolutely sour and burnt. Not happy walking away with that purchase at all!!! YET I still returned seeing how this place is only a block away from our home I thought Id give it one last chance. I was there today, ordered the americano ((way better this time)) and when I asked one of the females behind the counter for the password to the wifi she walked away… she obviously didnt hear me so I stood there waiting to ask politely again. AS before both females STOOD on the side counter talking to friends not caring about who was waiting at the front counter. I finally was given the passcode.
Convient=yes
Costumer service=horrible
coffee= ok
prices= a little pricey…

Terrible latte…

I saw review on here and decided to swing by to get a cup of coffee.
The staff was friendly and of course a professional. The service was excellent.
I love the exotic antiques and furniture that were decorated nicely around the tables and chairs. I will definitely come back for later afternoon reading/​studying for weekends.

This place is SO kewl! The coffees fantastic, the employees are sharp, cute and professional. There’s a homey feel to this Cutters Point, quite different than the others in the Cutters Point chain, and its location is really great (close to Hello Cupcake!).
There’s a fireplace, comfy seating all around, great food items and great people! Since it’s in an old brownstone or brick building, you get a nice «old world» feel in there. The coffee itself is GREAT! Best downtown coffee shop of all.

Yes, I had a FREE drink. I do this every year that I have run my annual 12k. I don’t go here because the prices are just too high for my taste and there are way too many coffee places to try that are less expensive. However, when I have gone here, I have liked their drinks. I had the strawberry smoothie which was pretty darn good, but the lady complained about making «too many free drinks all day.» Lady, I ran a race & deserve my damn drink so quit complaining.

This is my favorite café in Tacoma. Not because of the coffee (because I don’t drink coffee), but because of it’s location across from the Union Station and Glass Museum. It’s a cute and cosy place to work and write. I like sitting on the stool at the window to people watch as they walk by.

What happened to all the artisan coffee shops that made Seattle famous? Oh yeah… Sbux destroyed them all or cornered them all to downtown Seattle.
Can we a CP or Forza up north please?

I’ve been here a handful of times while in the downtown Tacoma area. Since it’s downtown street parking can get tricky, but if you’re already walking around near Cutter’s Point I suggest going in. It’s small and inviting, and it’s nothing too fancy but good coffee, free wifi, and another café that makes a great strawberry smoothie. It’s also close to other restaurants, shops, and museums so you could grab a cup of coffee from here, walk over to Hello Cupcake and grab a cupcake, then walk across the street to the Museum of Glass bridge and enjoy the combo — I would recommend all of this on a sunny, summer day (since they involve walking and sitting outside).

Went in by accident… after strolling across at the Glass Museum, and marveling my favorite artist, Dale Chihuly’s glass bridge I was tired and needed an energy boost… well boost and more is what I got here… BEST… i repeat BEST Dark Chocolate Mocha I’ve ever put my mouth to… deep, rich, intense chocolate flavors and super smooooooth… I wish we had one here in NYC, the hell with Starbucks, this handcrafted coffee is on a different level!
