I wentvto this place for breakfast last Sunday morning with my friends. We had delicious breakfast. Thank you everyone, beautiful place, clean, good customer service. Thank you..

The atmosphere was super fun and welcoming. Food and coffee treat, incredible presentation. A little pricy but you get what you pay for! I got a hazelnut latte with oat milk and the beet salad with feta cheese, both wonderful.

Wow. This place is so good. They make healthy food super tasty and pretty clearly mark the allergens. So a gluten free person would feel pretty comfortable ordering here. I would travel 40 minutes just to have breakfast here again. And their decor is so cute. They really pay attention to detail. Even the door hinges match the door handles and other metal fixtures.

We went here for the first time today and were very pleased! The coffee is fantastic and our food was amazing! I went with the SOS and my wife got the hash!The sos was served with a thick slice of bread and I believe it was a mushroom gravy. Needless to say I was very pleased. It has such a great and unique flavor relative to the standard SOS. My wife really enjoyed her dish. It was spicy and had great flavor she said.The vibe in this place is very unique. It has a very fresh feel and there is a ton of natural wood. Great light and some wonderful decorations. Check this place out!

Wonderful place. Great events here. I love creative Colloquy and collage and chill. Coffee and food is delicious.

Amazing! Super Awesome Coffee Shop & Restaurant! Great selection of food including Gluten free options! Honey, please open something similar in Portland, OR. Fantastic space! Super friendly staff and friendly patrons. I will be back each morning I am in town. Thank you!! 😀

Soooo good! The styling of the restaurant is modern and simple. The breakfast menu selection was broad and far from typical breakfast food. Really nice approach to it. And the plating was super dope! Simple, modern, and refined.

Great place 👍 liked that they had a small play area for children. Good food, and they have vegan food as well.

Neat place. Big venue. Lots of vendors. Some food things too. Very cool place to check out and hang out with friends. The chowder was delicious and so were the oatmeal cookie vendors. Tacoma Magazine was there promoting local participation and supporting local vendors too, which is great.

Absolutely adorable cafe with amazing staff who love what they do and the community they do it in! I definitely recommend snagging a seat out in the patio area. Perfect way to spend a summer day!

Great food and coffee. Perfect atmosphere and delicious food to start a relaxing vacation day!

DELICIOUS. EAT HERE. YOU WONT BE SORRY.

Delish, trendy, and well priced. Fabulous rumpkin latte and tons of things to read and local art to look at.

I like the ambiance at Honey and Alma Mater, the space is interesting and light. The coffee is excellent, the staff seem to know what they’re doing and put a lot of care in making a delicious and beautiful latte or cortado.

Temporarily closed since July 2020. Please update this page.

Super chill spot. Huevos rancheros was wonderfully fresh and light.

Only drip coffee and cold brew after 2pm apparently.

Unique food experience with a relaxed open atmosphere. Loved it.

Best breakfast spot in Tacoma! The have a seasonal menu and it is delicious everytime. I have been there many times and have been happy everytime. It can get busy at times, but that is because it is soooo good. Also, if it is your first time, it is counter service so you order at the counter and then they being the food to you. Delicious! They also have a great outdoor seating area!

The food, the service, the atmosphere are all top notch. We will definitely be back, so happy to have found a great breakfast spot!

Pork belly hash was so delicious. Highly recommend getting this!

Easy parking available. Great atmosphere. Kitchen is closed at 2pm daily. Lots of seats outside during the warmer weather. Swing on by for your favorite cup of joe.

Hipster place. Nice.

On the beautiful Grounds of Alma Mater, Honey has sweet and savory breakfast options.

My new favorite place. Their food is absolutely amazing. If you go for coffee, I highly recommend the Honey Butt Latte.

Delicious! I had shrimp and grits, to die for. And we sat outside listening to live jazz...doesnt get any better.

Nice spot with really tasty brunch.

Great service, really awesome space with great atmosphere. There is always something cool going on there. The fries and the popcorn are my favorite. Sounds stupid but they are really good. I also like the. Cold brew and my son loves the hot chocolate. There are also really good vegan options.

The cortado was great. Fantastic service.

It was the best of meals, it was the worst of meals... Well, not really, but I’ve ordered things that were amazing and others that I did not like at all. Still, it gets 4 stars because it’s more hit than miss, the coffee drinks/teas are consistently good, it’s got a nice space and it’s your best mid-week brunch option in Tacoma.The goodThis place nails a Dutch baby and that’s not an easy task. The lemon curd/raspberry jam topping is note-perfect and beautiful to boot. Egg dishes are solid and the potato toast and hash browns are way better than they need to be. Coffee and tea drinks are awesome (I heartily recommend both the iced rooibos and pistachio latte with oat milk).The badUnfortunately, pretty much everything vegan. The veggie sausage looked like an oatmeal cookie and tasted like a dog biscuit (or, what I assume one tastes like). A ton of people ordered the vegan burrito and raved about it but it did nothing for me so, granted, maybe I’m wrong. Tofu scramble was so bland it reminded me of vegan restaurants in the ‘90s (not a compliment).The uglyNothing! The open, airy space is beautiful and I love all the greenery.Overall, worth checking out.

Gorgeous, contemporary, welcoming coffee shop featuring all-day breakfast, delicious coffee, and live music. Part of Alma Mater Tacoma, a multi-use music/arts/hospitality space.

All the food is delicious! The coffee is creamy in texture smooth and strong. They showcase local art. There were kites there last week when I was in. They host music shows. There is a dinner and cocktail place for the evening crowd. Xxo cheers well done Alma Mater!

Great ambiance. Nice wood surfaces around the cafe and local art on display. Coffee is great and the menu is more ambitious than many such restaurants. A great spot for both groups and solo people.

Ive been here maybe once or a thousand times.

My favorite coffee spot in town- rustic along with great coffee and some healthy options

The service and food quality are some of the best you can get in downtown Springfield for Italian food. We eat here often when in the area. Favorites are the Chicken Parm & Seafood Risotto. Their unique specials are always worth the selection. Looks small, but its big on experience.

Unique breakfast foods. I had the S.O.S and my husband had the Carpenters Breakfast (which featured a beef heart steak). Beautifully seasoned and cooked foods that arent typically featured on your typical breakfast menu. They serve select beers and awesome coffee type drinks. Casual dining - order then seat yourself in a trendy/modern styled space. This will definitely be added to our Breakfast circuit!

I love that this place has vegan options! a bit more pricey than Id like, but a really cool business, so worth supporting. Bright and spacious with lots of sizes of tables and a small stage in the corner. Has some really nice kids toys available.

Really beautiful hipster-chic aesthetic. Fun light fixtures, lots of natural materials, concrete, graphic novels, glass, plants and trendy art. You know, that type of hey this what people are talking about when they say gentrification, type of vibe. Though, its quite stunning and a pleasant chill atmosphere.The food is top notch. I had the corned beef hash with a fried duck egg and damn, that was a delight. Surprisingly good prices for such quality. It was a tad bit more expensive than Id spend on average for lunch, but I couldnt help myself because it sounded so good and I wasnt disappointed. There were plenty of more reasonably priced food items though and the coffee is great, and bottomless for $3.50, which is pretty rad.The maximum occupancy says 88 which seems crazy because it feels like there isnt much room for more than 30ish at a time. In other words, not a tremendous amount of seating.If I lived in this neighborhood no doubt I would be here very frequently.

Phenomenal food and pastries. Try the honey butt latte. Delicious. Best handheld hash browns I’ve had. Fun decor and overall upbeat place as opposed to the dreary hipster T-town shops that litter the area.

I asked for recommendations on social media for good places to study, as well as maybe get coffee and/or food in Tacoma. This is one of the places that was highly recommended, and I can see why during my first visit. One thing thats important to me is to have lots of electrical outlets for my laptop. They have plenty to go around. The menu is not massive, but thats ok because the food is great. The only thing I could see as a possible downside is the indoor seating is not large, and the place is very popular, so arrive early if you can (there is outdoor seating for when the weather is nice). But overall I highly recommend this place. Its worth spending your money there.

Great food and atmosphere. Dont think just go. It gets busy so go early. Great space for kids to run around, if you have any. Extensive veggie and vegan options.

This is a really awesome coffee shop, I actually love it. - I dont like how limited the seating is. - I see women using a whole table just for their purses while people walk around looking for a place to sit. - I dont like driving 30 minutes to not get a chance to even sit, otherwise Id be here all of the time!

One of my favorite cafes in Tacoma. Definitely has a Portland vibe, which makes sense because it serves Portland roasted coffee :) a great place for a meeting or to just hangout and take in the space.

Really modern interior with cool plywood finishes. Lounge seating with walk up counter to order. Food exceeded expectations. Neat place for a chill breakfast and coffee.

This is a fun place to go with a small group and chat over coffee. I would recommend going on a nice day so you can sit outside. Its community seating and its hard to get a place to sit, so it isnt ideal for large groups. Their menu is very unique and definitely vegan friendly, but they do have a few things for non vegans. The coffee and snack items are really good. Its a bit pricey for the vibe and you have to bus your own table. Id go to meet a friend for coffee, but not to have a family brunch.

I recently discovered Honey at Alma Mater and was very impressed! Do not let the exterior picture scare you, this location has been completely updated with a hipster vibe. Coffee was excellent as well as the service. I can see how parking might be a challenge but after three visits I still have not had any parking challenges. Cant wait to visit during summertime, the outside area appears to have a great vibe.

Come for brunch and/or once a month for the night market. Fantastic place to have a meal. They always have great vegan options.

Very cute. Has a small area for children to play. Food was good. We had the duck fries, vegan scramble, ginger beer and the punch. The ginger beer was so tasty. The punch was a little bland but wasnt bad

A Tacoma gem. Casual breakfast. Great drip coffee. I’ve had the Asparagus Cocotte Eggs. Excellent! And enjoyed the Adams Mushroom Strata which was very good. Looking forward to the Smoked Beef Brisket Hash. Tip. Free parking lot on the south side of building.

This was a great oasis in the midst of the city! Great food. Espresso was a little bitter though. They serve Heart brand coffee. Great place to meet friends or just read a book or do work, while in a nice atmosphere!

A cute little shop with a delicious (but small) menu. This isn’t a great spot for people with food allergies simply because there aren’t many options. Overall it’s a nice chill vibe with lots of 20 somethings.

First time visit. Enjoyed a honeybutt (not a typo) latte and conversation in the sunny outdoor seating. The latte was delicious and the environment was comfortable and attractive. Im wondering when I can make it back here!

I had breakfast here, the cheesy eggs and bacon, it was good. Nothing was spectacular or stood out, everything was good. I had an americano as well and it was also good. It seemed like they used cups and lids made of recycled material which is nice, but it doesnt insulate the heat very well. My coffee was almost too hot to hold. Better too hot than too cold though! Their location is alright, walking distance from downtown. I cant say too much about the staff, the person taking my order was nice but didnt go above and beyond. Good service, but not something to remember.

Ive been here for pre-concert coffee and for brunch. The brunch gets busy and the seating is find it yourself, so finding a seat inside can be a pain if youre not there before ten. I had the stout braised beef hash, which was delicious, but in my dream world the potatoes would have been chopped smaller. My wife liked the vegan breakfast sandwich, which has fried tofu instead of fried egg.

Trendy coffee and food stop. Ordered the grilled cheese, it was fine. Coffee was fine too. I think I paid 14 dollars... a little expensive. Edit: I have returned a couple more times for work related meetings, tried some other foods and coffees. Increased rating.

Food was great. Service and atmosphere was lovely. 4/5 because my food tasted earthy. Which is okay, just needed more flavor.

Dutch baby deliciousness! Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food. Enough said. (Only downside. Parking can be challenging.)

Brunch was killer

Had a single latte with oat milk. Not impressed. Coffee was bitter I couldnt easily locate the sweeteners. Staff was distracted. Shop was busy so, I considered that part of the reason for the issues. Probably will not go back for coffee as there are so many other dependably delicious choices in Tacoma.

Delicious food, tasty coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere. The open and light seating space is nice, as is the diverse group of people that seem to frequent the joint. The music was a bit hit or miss, but overall a really nice spot to get some work done while munching on good grub.

Nice atmosphere, cool modern vibe, but order took 55 min, so be prepared to wait. I ordered the veggie sausage scramble. Sausage was extremely dry and partially burnt, like it had been waiting under heat lamp for a half hour. It came with about a quarter potato worth of home fries, very small portion. My guest ordered veg scramble without cheese. It was delivered ten minutes after mine and came with cheese. Set and bus own table, serve own water, didn’t realize that before paying 20% tip up front at counter.

My favorite breakfast spot to meet for work strategizing meetings! Hip, affordable breakfasts that are super amazing, I feel like Im in Portlandia but in Tacoma. Impressive venue, truly phenomenal food, and coffee is great! GO! Quit reading this review!

The service was very nice, food was tasty and thoughtfully created. Nice ambiance, they have options for plant only meals, in addition they messed up an order but offered her 2 free meal coupons when they did it and took the blame so no problems here. They have bike racks now! They have bus stops for the 28 and 48 close by so transit access is good. (This was edited after they added bike racks)

Coffee was good, but dont expect much from staff. Person who took my order was browsing on his phone the entire conversation. Soo many better places around.

Really great food. The ebelskivers were like dessert. I felt like the portion sizes were perfect but my teenage son left feeling hungry. The atmosphere is relaxing and there wasnt a line on a Saturday morning. We ordered and sat down right away.

Great atmosphere, strong drinks, reasonably priced, and community minded. A great place to curl up and relax downtown.

Great atmosphere and great coffee. Try a lavender oat milk latte. Breakfast is especially delicious!

Great and interesting menu. Good coffee in small cups. :) Nice airy and open space with provocative artwork. Excellent staff and service.

I love this place it offers a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere and and a variety of opportunities to utilize the space beyond food and drink. It can often be an immersive experience coupled with great food and drink. Check out their comedy nights and open mics as well as the shows they host at their venues next door, or stop by for some great coffee or food.

Coffee was incredible. This place has a lot going on! A constant schedule of events. Very cool.

Beautiful venue for the night market. Loved the comfortable couches and welcoming stuffed bear.

Super place. Beautiful serene space to hang out. Excellent coffee and food. Lovely

Love love love this place, it has the best coffee and really good breakfast, I highly recommend coming here and checking it out

Pros: Very nice spot, with cool artwork, varied seating options with couches and inside tables, outside tables, good coffee.Cons: very expensive food for very small portions. I spent a lot of money and was still hungry after.Also, I order the vegetarian huevos rancheros with regular chicken eggs, and got the vegan one with tofu egg instead. I told one of the workers who said sorry and walked away. For such an expensive fancy place I would expect to get offered the correct dish, or at least a cookie or something as a way to make up for their mistake.

Delicious foods, tasty artisan type coffees, an incredibly well designed, Scandi-style environment —that somehow is so balanced acoustically that you can actually hear the person across from you and you’re not even bothered by everyone else conversing alongside you. Most of the employees are friendly as well-it’s a great spot to meet friends and chill.

Beautiful space, nice local art, best coffee Ive ever had, neat music, and well informed staff.

To spend $140.00 plus and not be able to substitute one bread for another so I did not make a big deal. Menu was not clear and to boot the expectations for you to eat and out in under and hour for a 140.00 plus$$$$. And there is more but I will stop here. Not like you care, It took over 4 months to respond to the my review. WOW!!

Love their coffee. However, there’s never any parking so every time I want to stop by I just end up leaving.

Washington Patriots company Christmas party was held in the event area at the rear of the building and proved to be a great venue. Beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail accentuated our visit!

So good! One of the best omlettes Ive had

Nice little coffee shop, coffee is a little expensive but its good. Free WiFi, good seating options, food is decent. Bright and clean, friendly staff.

Great place, great atmosphere. Staff was really friendly and cool. However the ticket staff was extremely rude.

The place and people are cool. I ordered the jackfruit and veg hash with a duck egg on top which was tasty. If youve never had shredded, cooked jackfruit like me, be aware that its gonna look like shredded ham, so dont freak out like I did! Reason for 4 star is portion size and mediocrity of the food.

Great place for breakfast and unique options. Plenty of vegan items.

Neat location, lots of cool local art. Space is open and sunny, food fell far short of expectations though. They were busy the day we visited but that shouldnt be an excuse for cold, stale food.

Loved it.

Food is good. The service is great and the vibe is nice. They have wi-fi 👍. Lots of seating options 👍. And a lot of variety on the menu 👍

Delicious food and a heartwarming feel. I shared the beet salad with my wife and was happily satisfied when finished.

Fast and delicious. A great addition to Tacoma’s culinary scene. The pig head scrapple with duck egg was very good. Nice espresso pull too!

Great place! Food awesome! Great for family with small kids... especially outdoor area, love the corn sandbox

Amazing brunch spot. Gets really busy on weekends so prepare to wait or be quick to snatch open spots. Cant wait to come back during warm weather to sit in the outdoor areas. Honeybutter latte mmm. .

I have tried most of the menu items and are always happy with my order, and never disappointed!

The food was good and unique, but the portions were quite small for the price. The atmosphere was quite pleasant though.

The chocalate waffles with raspberry sauce were amazing!

The lady at the register was extremely rude and unaccomadating. I had a surgery coming up where I could not have vegetables. They rolled their eyes when I asked them to make the food without avacado and told me no we cant do that for you that defeats the whole point of the meal never have I seen such a simple task taking so personally. A great reason to avoid coming to honey all around.

Friendly staff with a very good atmosphere and tasty food!

An amazing venue. First time there, so very impressed. How does one get involved?

Delicious coffee shop that serves great food as well.

Food was great. Nice kids play area
