My favorite coffee place around. Aubrey is always the sweetest around. All the ladies are. They always know what I drink and ask me about work. I adore them and they make my coffee like its liquid gold. Highly recommend them.

I was visiting my sister for the holiday and really was craving some coffee! This place happened to be near a ramen shop I like, and I am so glad I stopped for some coffee. I got a salted white russian! It was so good and perfect for my long drive back home! The staff was super friendly and kind! If I am in town again, I know where I will be going. :)

Best coffee in the area! I’ve been coming to the stand everyday for 10 months now and they have the most consistent coffee I’ve ever had. They know mine and my boyfriends order as soon as they see our cars. Always friendly and give great service! Absolutely love them!

I’ve been an employee at Bowler Coffee for just over 2 months and I already can say this has been the best job experience I’ve had. The managers and owners care and show appreciation to us daily. The customers also provide such a happy environment that makes every shift super enjoyable.

My wife and I recently moved to the Tacoma area and were in search of a new favorite coffee place. After a few weeks of trying different places, we found our spot! By far the best frappes we’ve ever had AND the girls are super kind and helpful! Thanks, ladies!!

I’ve been searching for years for the perfect blend of coffee & customer service. Gloria has won my service and heart with the perfect peanut butter (real peanut butter) & caramel frap. All the girls are great at Bowlers. Don’t change a thing. Customer for life.

I love this coffee stand! Taylor makes the best drinks and is so friendly. The coffee is never burned and the lotus drinks are super good especially on a hot day. I highly recommend this woman owned business. Hot or iced these people know what they’re doing. I also love following their IG for drink ideas. 😊

Every single time I go the staff is wonderful. They make my drink fantastically everytime, and if theres ever an issue they have no issue fixing it for me. Every day I go my day is made all that much better. I highly recommend!! The menu is huge and they are always up for making new and different drinks!!I am very happy and thankful they are so close my job, whenever I need a pick me up or a snack its a just a quick walk there and back.Ever during rushes they make time with each customer and still progress the lines quick and efficiently ^^10/10 would reccomend!!!

Went here today after a while and it wasnt worth it. I ordered a mocha and it was a regular latte with burnt coffee. So I wont be coming back.

I usually never write reviews but I saw this little shop on Facebook and I was just sooo impressed! Me and my husband stopped by last night and we will definitely be coming back! The girls were so sweet and helpful when it came to picking out the perfect drink. The drinks were sooo tasty and I definitely recommend trying the purple mermaid or the endless summer! The combination of family feeling and great tasting drinks left me wanting more! I live 30 minutes away but the drive was worth it!

I ordered two 16oz hot Cocos, extra hot. And when she handed me the cup they werent even halfway full. Super disappointing for my first visit. I also posted a picture to the photo album here. I did not take a single sip of the drink on the right, I open the lid and this is how far it was actually filled. Completely unacceptable when Im paying for 16 oz and only getting less than 12

Review №56

So came here with my husband and we both got a drip coffee. We wanted to try it since we lived across the street and could be a convenience for us. Well we tried the drip coffee and it was completely horrible. It tasted watered down like crazy. It had a brown tint to it, but looked like dirty water, especially because of its transparency. Coffee isnt supposed to be transparent... It did taste like coffee, but Im wondering if they forgot to add some actual grounds to the maker before they refilled it? Either way, we both took a sip and dumped it out. 🤮 Very disappointed. The servers were very nice though! Ill give them 5/5 for that.

Great first experience! It started with a very personable young lady greeting me and her co-worker complimenting my eyes. This place is so close to the Parkland post office. Ive always driven passed it, this morning I noticed they are advertising for their customer appreciation days coming up near the end of August so I figured I would try their stuff out now and come back during those 1/2 off days. Also, I love supporting businesses that show appreciation to their customers; being a business owner myself it goes a long ways and the customers genuinely love that they are valued and arent just seen as $. It is usually the opposite way I drive for work but when I am in the area or have some extra minutes in the morning I will definitely be coming back. Great friendly service, coffee was delicious (could have been a smidge hotter but just my personal preference) and the breakfast sandwich was good too. Thanks ladies!Oh, and they signed me up for a loyalty program that doesnt just offer deals from them but other local businesses too! Keep up the good work.

Want the best mocha in town? Come here! Baristas that care is something hard to find! Mine went out of her way to make sure my coffee experience was wonderful. I love Bowler ever since my regular stand was slacking something fierce. The gals here are wonderful, and will always have my business when I get coffee through a window.

I have been coming to Bowler Coffee ever since they became BCC!First off, the staff is AMAZING! Gloria, Gracie & Diego have become more than just my friendly local baristas but they have become friends- more like family really! They always remember mine & my husbands drinks and exactly how we like them. As well as they always remember things we have previously talked about and always ask about them.Second, Bowlers customer service is TOP NOTCH and because they put so much care into my order I would much rather spend my money there supporting a wonderful small family business than some of those other over-priced, rude, nasty tasting coffee shops!Third, Cindy the owner is AWESOME as well. We met her because she is not afraid to jump in with her staff and get things done! She is hilarious, friendly and knows how to make a great cup o Joe! You can tell she loves and appreciates her employees and her customers! She definitely has created a stellar coffee environment for her staff and her customers! She also listens to requests for new menu items whether it be for food or drinks! She always does her best to make her customers happy and do things that keep her shop hip and happenin!We love you Bowler Coffee Co! You are our favorite place to grab our favorite drinks and a tasty bite to eat!Highly recommend to everyone!

Review №73

The employees are friendly and provide good customer service in general. The reason it is not a five star is due to an aspect of them changing their customers rewards. I had several punches on my customer reward card and when they switched it to the digital format they did not credit the previous punches I had on the card which is unfortunate. The coffee is always good and the employees are friendly, interactive and smiling.

The staff is extremely friendly especially the manager Allie. Shes an absolute treat to conversate with while waiting for your drinks.

I was not satisfied with the service. Theres two girls working there first girl asked for my order she started my order then decided that she didnt want to finish my order so the other girl finish. They were not very chatty.. my childrens hot cocoas were half full and they finish them before we even got on the freeway. I dont think Ill ever go to Cafe Elite again. I will wait in line for the one thats down the street that has better customer service and actually gives my kids hot cocoa. I spent $15 at this place

Do not support this business! They use illegal tactics, take advantage, and treat their employees like trash. Not a place where you will progress as a worker, you’ll be degraded and treated poorly. Plus, they lie to customers about their products. :)
