Three Hearts

This place feels like there’s love in every detail. This is an order at the counter, they’ll bring you your food kind of establishment. Coffee was superb. I got a simple latte and it was perfect. The food does not come out fast, but it comes out yummy and well presented. And hot! The savory breakfast sandwich was delicious without being greasy or heavy. The pastry selection feels like they’re determined to have something for everyone, while still honoring creativity. Very positive experience. Not crowded at 7 am on a Saturday.

New favorite place in Tacoma! The pastries are incredible!! The cranberry orange danish is out of this world! I had the breakfast hash and loved it. Atmosphere is so cute - there’s not a ton of seating though. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back.

I stopped by Three Hearts Bakery after seeing Tacoma food writer Meg Van Huygen say that “anything croissant-y is going to be amazing” — and she’s absolutely right about that. The curry croissant and the classic croissant were both excellent: flaky, beautifully layered, and deeply satisfying. These are clearly the bakery’s strengths. Unfortunately, the sourdough bread didn’t work for me. It was unusually difficult to cut and chew, and the interior felt a bit too wet for my taste. The biggest disappointment, however, was the coffee caramel cheesecake. It tasted old and overly firm, with very little coffee flavor — mostly just sweetness without depth. It was the first time in my life I’ve thrown away a piece of cheesecake. I truly hope they can improve the cheesecake, because their croissants show they’re capable of excellent baking. I’ll gladly return for the pastries, but will skip the bread and cheesecake for now.
