as a lover of the historic post office building, was happy to discover this tiny little coffee shop housed in one of the service bays. Love the local art hanging on the walls too. Found our new business meeting hangout place.
Being new to Tacoma I've been searching for the best coffee place to make my home away from home. Although there are many options around I've decided this is my favorite. Between the gorgeous historic architecture, the perfect cappuccino's and the friendly staff you really can't beat it. I love having a place that has a small town vibe because they know you. I always enjoy going here every morning and highly recommend it!
Best coffee shop around - they really care about their customers
This place is cool. I love the atmosphere of the old post office combined with two espresso options.
Love, love, love this coffee place! <3
Awesome coffee shop in downtown Tacoma! The coffee they serve is delicious and I love the fact that they hand craft their own syrups for the drinks. Everyone I've met there has been so friendly and warm. Wonderful addition to Tacoma :)
Congrats on your new great space in the Post Office!
The tastiest coffee I have ever had. Thank you! Keep it up!!
Beautiful people, cool location! I will be visiting here often!
A small Coffee Shop located at the lobby next to the Post Office and a restaurant in a historic building in Downtown Tacoma.
It has lots of space to spread out, you will never feel cramped here. It has free Wifi and fresh cut, real flowers in vases, which is a rarity in Coffee shops.
Lift Bridge Coffee has some.really delicious and unique flavored specialty Coffee and Tea drinks, with specialty Syrup made from scratch, in house. Such as Honey-Lavender, Orange Anise, Mint-Pink-Peppercorn... Some of them are seasonal, so try them while they are still in the Menu. My recent favorite, for the 2019-2020 Winter Season, is the Orange Mocha (Latte).
Their current Manager (2018 - Feb 2020) is quite creative, besides doing all the Floral Arrangements for the shop, she comes up with these House-made specialty Syrups for specialty Coffee Drinks that are really delicious.
Their drip/brewed Coffee is fantastic. It is smooth, velvety, creamy, probably one of the best in the country. Reminds me of some of the great Coffees that I have had over the years, roasted by some reputable boutique Italian brands.
Pastries at Lift Bridge Coffee are supplied locally by a business called Spilled Butter Dessert. If they are not already sold out, try one. They are simply divine! Lift Bridge Coffee also has real Ceramic dishware and Silverware, which is a nice touch and more eco-friendly.
Staff at Lift Bridge Coffee are very friendly, and service is prompt and efficient. They also have a frequent customer program with rewards. Check with the store for details.
Overall it is a good place to unwind, relax and spend time, while also taking advantage of the Post Office next window down and the restaurant down the hallway. Metered street parking spots available relatively easy within the block. From the sidewalk at the Northeast corner of the building, you can see Mount Rainier on clear days. It is quite the big and fabulous view!

NOTE : I have taken one Star away as they never responded to an email that I sent them with a complaint, almost four months ago. I believe responding to customer complaint emails is part of good business practice and part of business culture in any five star establishment.
If you need to use Sugar substitutes, please bring your own, as they do not carry any, such as, Sweet & Low, Equal, Splenda, Stevia. Available are Sugar, Simple Syrup, Honey Syrup and Agave Syrup.
Availability of the Pastries are inconsistent.

Great coffee with good amount of seating. Inside a building with a post office and other business.
I fell in to love with this amazing cafe on a business trip to Tacoma. This places more then earns five stars because of incredible coffee (I had a pour over which was amazing), great staff who took time to ask how my day was, and one of the best historical locations I have seen for a cafe.
When in downtown Tacoma, visit and enjoy a visit at Lift Bridge Coffee.
Great coffee, it’s inside the post office so not the best environment. And as you’d expect they take their time. But worth the wait.
Its easy to miss but great place for coffee. The barista was very sweet and the coffee was delicious.
Friendly and nice barista. The coffee was good. It is a nice hall to have coffee.
I've been to many coffee shops across the US and find this place to be an absolute gem amidst the plethora of caffeine retailers. Class, thought, and creativity are reflected in every detail of atmosphere, menu, and customer service. Extremely pleasant staff. Phenomenal menu. Truly impressed and delighted.
