Two Tacoma Restaurants

Tacoma spoils us with plenty of options for dining out, grabbing coffee, or picking up lunch. As a Realtor and fellow foodie, it's my duty to support local commerce and test out options so I can confidently recommend. In 2020 alone, we helped 6 buyers move to the Tacoma area from out of state. And we love to share our go-to's in each neighborhood. This blog features two spots we recently stumbled across that were new to us, located near Central Tacoma.


Grit City Breakfast:


Who doesn't love a good boozy breakfast spot?! Well, I do, and I must say that Grit City Breakfast didn't disappoint. We went on a weekday morning and were seated right away. I was immediately impressed by the industrial modern decor, mural of the Tacoma Dome, and five menu options for Bloody Mary's. My mom and I could've easily split the smothered breakfast potatoes I ordered---10/10 for their gravy! She ordered a breakfast burrito that was bursting with flavors and colors.

This spot is a breakfast restaurant by day, opening at 7 AM and turns into a bar for the Tacoma Comedy Club by night. Don't miss their Happy Hour from 2-6 PM and delicious lunch menu. We will be back!

Hours 7 AM-10 PM


Medzo Gelato:


This gelato bar took me right back to Italy. While we were standing over the cold case, I looked over to see my mom welling up. Our family took the trip of a lifetime to Tuscany in less than six months, and the smells of pistachio and espresso were incredibly reminiscent. We were lucky enough to meet the owners, who told us about the love that was put into growing this business. They spent time in Italy learning how to make authentic gelato, and everything they serve is made in-house. It was hard to pick just two flavors. Everything looked delicious, but I went with hazelnut and salted caramel! I highly recommend this experience next time you are in the mood for a pick-me-up.
