Quickie Too is for me and you!
My first time here was in 2018 it was a very crazy windy day, but we blew in off 14th and MLK Way to this Tacoma treasure and were in awe of how homey and comfy this place was including the posters and wall art booths, cloth covered tables and long bar area that almost made you feel like you were hanging out at someone's home just vibin and vegging out.
I remember trying everything we possibly could including some amazing wraps, pizza, sides and honestly too much (if there is a such thing), but everything was too amazing including our service from this one of a kind hidden gem.
Quickie is a black-owned & women-owned 100% plant- based vegan eatery fusing Jamaican flare with modern soul & comfort delights with some inspiration from a variety of various cuisines.
The Steak Pizza was something I'll never forget when they had it nor the potato salad, which as someone who makes their own vegan version and loves trying others Quickie Too was possibly the best I've ever had.
Like many great places in Pierce County I was unable pickup takeout physically during a short visit to the area so I did the next best thing and ordered delivery. And much like the first time with comfy seating and fast service and ordering an excessive amount of food... I did just that:
Homemade Mac & Yease (aka Mac N Cheese) - absolutely the best - perfect amount of creaminess and pepper as well as flavor.
Smoky Mushroom Melt might possible be my new favorite Q-Too item - the cremini mushrooms and melted daiya & follow your heart cheesy mashup with grilled onions and textured steaky tofurkey seitan (wheat meat protein) all loaded into a huge hoagie roll is perfection.
Lovers Club is this smoky tofu super club sandwich made with smoked tofu they make in-house plus classic tomato, lettuce, onion (grilled) and pickle mashup. Super stacked and slice perfectly into several amazing halves.
I did notice that Quickie has made some mods to the menu and I don't know if the potato salad is still available or just limited as I didn't see it as an options or amongst my food that I believe came with, but I have nothing but love for the Quickness of the Too.
Since they've switched over to exclusive take-out only you're not able to get the full experience, but the love in care is definitely still in the customer service, quality and of course the food.
There's usually a fair amount of street parking as they don't really have a lot, but there's also usually not a ton of traffic as you get closer by.
Open every other day of the week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with varying hours, but once you fall in love with the magic of this marvel you'll learn Quickie's schedule as well as menu pretty quick.
