Endicott Coffee

a roaster doing its own thing on e 26th street, which puts you somewhere between tacoma's port industrial edge and the kind of block that still feels like it belongs to the city rather than a developer's rendering. endicott coffee roasts in-house, so what you're drinking hasn't traveled through a middleman's warehouse before landing in your cup. that matters more than people talk about. the freshness gap between a roaster-retailer and a café that just orders bags is real, and you notice it. the standing here is strong enough that regulars don't bother explaining why they make the detour. worth building your morning around a pour-over before the port traffic picks up on pacific avenue.
