Anthem Coffee & Tea | Downtown Tacoma

Good location, ambience, staff and coffee. We had latte and loved it.

The coffee and the food is good but it's the staff that makes feel uncomfortable and unwelcome everytime I go there. Used to be my favorite coffee shop but not anymore. Will not be coming back anytime soon. I don't like the energy in there anymore

Apparently they don’t like older black men with faces that have eyes. Employee just told my husband to leave because “I don’t like the way your looking at me.” What? Out of a black face? I will never recommend this establishment to anyone.

Let me be clear: Anthem makes fantastic coffee, like really delicious coffee. The ambiance of the room is also fantastic, they are one of my favorite coffee shops!

But they have two downfalls.
Speed: If there's a line it takes a godawful amount of time to get drinks out. I truly don't know what they're doing but you will be w a i t i n g.

Food: oh my god the food. The breakfast burritos are wet. Like water spewing out when you take your first bite wet. It's honestly disgusting. The breakfast sandwiches are usually a little burnt and the cheese is so plasticy that it turns into a sauce when they heat em up. The baked goods are what I would expect from a gas station.

I hate to have to say it because I genuinely love their coffee and the vibe of the place; but for the love of God they need to carry better food if they want to outshine the Starbucks across the street!

I really liked their honey latte and croissant. Overall a good place for a coffee.

Never again will I order from this place. I'm not a coffee drinker but my gf insisted I should try this place a couple of weeks ago. Whoever made the coffee that day did an excellent job.

The reason I will not return is because i ordered delivery this morning and whoever packaged this coffee did a horrible job. No sticker on top of the cup like taco bell or McDonald's have to prevent ppl from sipping on your drinks. They put a straw on the side of my coffee that has been out in the open with no packaging like straws come in. Half filled coffee. It was just disgusting. Just sloppy. I expect cleaner service when we tip delivery generously.

Right by the chihuly bridge. Have outdoor seats. Pretty inside.

Good but pricey. $6.79 for a regular iced coffee.

Great, friendly and relaxing coffee shop. Coffee is really nice and good nibbles also!

Great place! Beautiful scenery, good coffee, great options, with food too! Yum!!!
