Tacoma Java Co

Nice cafe in Bonney Lake. 1uite the nice selection of syrups & mixes to prepare anything you like. Plus the farthest end of the cafe away from the entrance has a library.

Evidently there are smoothies, frappes, bagels, & pasta (according to the front windows). My eyesight does not allow clear view 9f the menu on the wall. Maybe I'll take a photo 9f it.

You can trust a coffee shop that takes good care of their plants. A HAPPY staghorn fern, ma’am, I’ll be back every week.

A cute little shop with good drinks, nice workers, plus beautiful local sundries (soaps & earrings & shirts & art). Plus a punch card!

I really enjoy the atmosphere and the coffee does take great, but the service has really gotten much slower recently. Lately there has only been 1 barista working during busy times and it’s about 10-15 min before my order is even taken and another 5 for it to be made. If I have a time constraint, I will go to a stand with a drive through and I’m often out of there in half the time.

I visited here rather than my normal café and was appalled how a manager treated the staff, it was entirely inappropriate how she reacted by itself but infront of customer made it all the more awful. Not everyone has what is needed to be a manager and she most definitely does not have it. I can't remember her full name but it was something like Lisa and she was a red head. Very unprofessional and disappointing to see someone verbally abuse workers under them and try to use public humiliation as a tactic.

The situation: The manager was training what seemed to be a new employee on the register. The other woman on bar (long curly black hair) kindly asked her if I wanted cream or sugar. Rather than answer her, she told her “let me do this you need to worry about you” essentially telling her to mind her business. The barista was simply trying to make sure my order was perfect and I appreciate that. However, I won’t be stopping by here again and neither will my relatives who recommended it.

Absolutely amazing, I got the white pumpkin frappe, this is their best drink hands down, service is great, definitely coming back here.

I wanted to enjoy this place, I’ve given it many chances, however the quality is inconsistent due to high turnover, the drinks are WAY overpriced for minimally trained baristas. Every time I come in there’s a new face that mentions it is her first day, I stop by 2x a month and haven’t seen the same baristas more than twice. Also, back to the drinks being overpriced, why should I pay over 10$ for a 32oz Redbull???? I highly recommend Forest Canyon Coffee in Lake Tapps over this place. At least there a Redbull is only $5.

I also looked through the clothes rack last time I stopped by and they were selling a very visibly used sweatshirt (heavy wear in the armpits) for 40$. What type of business associates themselves with these low standards and care for clientele?

Edit to owners response: The sweatshirt in question is a blue zip up hoodie, unlike the others available for sale in your establishment. I was browsing for my wife, as she enjoys your coffee. Due to the defensiveness of the reply to this honest review however, she will also no longer be a patron

They were great. The coffee was amazing!

New favorite coffee shop!! Drinks have been perfect everytime. Love the decor amd homey feel. They have a nice variety of options, including dairy-free milk.

I go here every Friday with a bunch of girls from the Bonney Lake Girl Tribe. The staff always reserves our table (not to mention reorganize the furniture before we get there to accomodate our large group!), greet us with upbeat energy, and have memorized many of our drink orders. Special shoutout to the best barista and manager, Autumn, and owner Leilani! You guys rock!

Really friendly staff, legit good cold brew, and a great vibe all around. Great addition to BL!
