Cosmonaut Coffee Co. Ratings: 4.4/5
Food: 5/5 - This is such a great find in Tacoma. I would say my first coffee experience in Seattle definitely exceeded my expectation. I am excited to try out other coffee places here. See the description of the coffee I got.
- Latte w/ Almond Milk [GET]: This latte was delicious. I love the creaminess and consistency from the milk foam. Coffee is very smooth to drink and strong, yet there's no taste of burnt flavor or acidity either. I love that there's a light, nutty aroma in this coffee. I literally finished this coffee real quick, and was craving for more.
Ambiance: 4.25/5 - A super small and hole-in-the-wall coffee shop in Tacoma. It is a little funky looking, a bit eccentric, but a very laid down and causal vibe. It got a retro and spacey vibe to it, maybe because of the name, LOL. There's a ton of coffee mugs, coffee beans, and stickers for sale. This is a great spot for coffee, but expect it to be grab and go type of place; absolutely no space to sit, because it is tiny.
Price: 4/5 - I got a 12oz latte with almond milk for around $6. All coffee comes with whole milk, so any milk substitution will be $0.75 extra if I remember correctly. The price is a bit on the pricier side, but I can tell it's high quality coffee, so I don't mind paying more for good coffee.
Service: 4.25/5 - I enjoyed speaking with the owner about coffee. He was really friendly and welcoming. Felt like I was speaking to a friend than a stranger. I also requested almond milk and ask him to make me a pretty latte art, and he was very accommodating with all my requests. I appreciate the nice service.
BLUF: I will be back for sure when I visit Tacoma again. Cosmonaut is one of the better coffee shops that I have tried. Tasty coffee, amazing service, and fun atmosphere, so please try it out when you get a chance or in the area. If you are bold enough, they got lots of interesting and unique coffee drinks there for you to try too!
