Valhalla Coffee Co.
Located at 3918 6th Ave. Tacoma, WA 98406
Hours: Open every day 7am - 5pm
Started in 2004 by Tacoma native A.J. Anderson, Valhalla Coffee has become a Tacoma staple. Not only does Valhalla offer a full menu of classic coffee and espresso beverages, but they also roast their own coffee right on 6th Ave. You can stop by for a cup of coffee as you pick up your favorite roast by the pound—check out their menu and retail offerings here.
“Valhalla is the best,” says Kelli Jo Hjalseth. “But if you ask for an eggnog latte, it’s no soup for you!”
You can also enjoy Valhalla all around Tacoma—their coffee is served in a variety of restaurants and you can pick up a pound of beans at grocery stores, too.

Bluebeard Coffee Roasters
Located at 2201 6th Ave Tacoma, WA
Hours: Open every day 7am - 5pm
Bluebeard offers the best of both worlds—they feature a spacious sit-down area and roast their own coffee beans right behind the bar! Bluebeard prides themselves on being a real part of their community, and their website states that “Bluebeard’s twin aims are coffee and people. We hire our neighbors and support their causes. We champion their art, language, music and ample tattoos. We hope our light, open space beckons those from all walks of life, and that they feel welcome in our midst.”
In addition to a menu of expertly crafted beverages, you can also pick up bags of their roasted beans in store or online.

Art House Cafe
Located at 111 North Tacoma Avenue, Tacoma Wa 98403
Hours: Open every day 7am - 3pm
Technically located in the Stadium District, Art House Cafe “is kinda on 6th Ave, at the end where 6th turns into Division—on Tacoma Avenue.” A more traditional sit-down restaurant, Art House Cafe is a local favorite (especially for breakfast!).
Along with good coffee (Stumptown Roasters) they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. [They] make scrumptious home-baked breads and yummy loaves. They also serve alcohol and have weekend entertainment sometimes. And they also do wine and painting classes upstairs!
