Cosmonaut Coffee Co

My wife and I always look for independant coffee shops when traveling and our go to drink is a cappuccino (european style, nothing served in a large cup/mug). The one's served by Pat and his crew are nothing short of amazing. The milk and espresso served is the most beautiful silky crema. During our short stay in Tacoma, we frequented this spot regularly and the owner was quick to remember us and our drink order; great customer service.
The place is quirky in its decor, but who doesn't like a little quirky. Agree with other comments that Wright Park is a nice place for a stroll to stretch the legs. If you are visiting people in the nearby hospitals, skip the 'chain' coffee served inside, get outside, stretch the legs, walk the 5 minutes to Cosmonaut and treat yourself to an experience and maybe even a walk in Wright Park, you won't be disappointed.

Really good drip! Strong and complex without that acid "brightness" that all PNW coffee seems to be obsessed with.

Coffee was delicious and I bought two cute scones for $1 total. Great value, cute place to sit a minute or even just pop in for breakfast and a drink. Definitely coming back.

This cage is how I explain hipster culture. It's one of the tiniest shacks I've ever seen and on the pricier side for coffee and pastries. Also one of the best tasting coffees I've had and they sell local products like honey. Cool place.

Cool vibes, relaxing and great tasting coffee.

For a 16 oz (largest cup they have) they are charging way too much. I thought for that price they must have some great coffee, instead it is barely tolerable. The only thing I can say is that at least I can drink it so my money doesn't go to waste.

Awesome cold brew! Smooth, nice aroma and mildly sour without the bitterness.

Awesome vibe. Best coffee in town.

The cold brew really is rocket fuel! The smell alone could cure caffeine withdrawals. If you like it strong, you'll like Cosmonaut Coffee <3

They have the best coffee and the best flavorings. The people are really nice. They used to be called "Satellite Coffee," but they had to change names a while back. (Milk options seem to be cow, almond, hemp, and soy.)
