Wedge ResourcesWedge Resources

We are located right in the heart of Tacoma and on the #1 Pierce Transit bus line. The T-Link light rail also runs adjacent to the Wedge. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and the hospital are within walking distance, as the homes in the Wedge have a walk score in the 80s.

As it turns out, being central to everything has its perks. So we've kept a list of great resources, properly screened by some residents who have had great experiences with these people and places. Most are around the Wedge and some in the greater Tacoma area but worth the drive.

☕ Coffee☕ Coffee

Tacoma is home to many great coffee shops and micro roasters. While there are popular places, these are some real gems that are can't miss if you are a coffee afficianado.

  • Wily Cycleworks* - Yes, you read that right. Wily is a coffee shop and bike shop concept in one. Their coffee is fantastic, a sister company to Lander Coffee roaster just down the road.
  • Naomi Joe Coffee Roasters - Tacoma's most innovative and creative micro-roaster distributes to local businesses and even local homes. You'll find their cafe in the Seven Seas building.
  • Cosmonaut Coffee*
  • Lander Coffee
  • The Method Skateboards & Coffee = They use an exclusive roast from local roaster, Bluebeard Coffee. The baristas here are young and very good, and this shop has lifted the vibe in this downtown alley!
  • Beware Coffee - A very unique must try is the sweet curry latte.
  • Valhalla Coffee - Their mocha is still the best around, and you'll find their coffee featured in ice cream at Ice Cream Social.
  • Olympia Coffee Company - You down with OCC? Yeah you know me.

🍔 Burgers🍔 Burgers

  • Seoul Burger* - Lucky us! This former food truck turned brick and mortar relocated at the tip of the Wedge in 2024. Burgers here are innovative and Korean inspired. The owner is a local fave and sources ingredients from local businesses.
  • Frisko Freeze* - Tacoma's original burger stand is under new ownership and open late. Still the same great local burgers, fries, and shakes (and malts).
  • Bomb Burger* - This burger truck is an offspring of long time Tacoma business, It's Greek to Me. The spice burger is a favorite in this affordable food truck.
  • Shake Shake Shake*
  • Corbeau - Call the funeral home because the burger here with their beef fat fries is to die for.

🍕 Pizza🍕 Pizza

  • Bar Rosa* - Probably the best Neopolitan pizza in town, and their craft cocktails are great.
  • State Street Beer Co.* - Great vibe and just up the road, they offer gluten free pizza.
  • Hanks Pizza and Beer* - You cannot be considered a Tacoman until you've been to Hanks! Dogs are welcome here in the outdoor area.
  • A Pizza Little Italy - Incredible pizza and often live music as well.
  • Russo Pizzarium - You wouldn't believe how good pizza at a popup can be. You don't need anything more than a margherita pizza here. Pizzaolo Alfredo Russo has been providing great Italian food in Tacoma for decades, once in a restaurant called Europa. Now you'll find him at the Proctor Farmer's Market.

🍲 Soup🍲 Soup

  • Infinite Soups* - The soup is made fresh everyday (menu is posted on Facebook), and they only take cash. Favorites are Hunter's Meatball and Chicken Pozole Verde.
  • Vien Dong - If you're looking for pho, there are dozens of restaurants with terrific pho. Vien Dong is one of the few restaurants to offer a hard to find soup called Hu Tieu, a southern style soup, also known as Cambodian Phnom Penh noodle soup. And it is excellent here.
  • Zen Ramen*
