    I've always have had a good experience at the Puyallabaps Cafe in Tacoma. Now they have a Great Value Breakfast Menu with affordable prices if you don't have any rewards especially if you want Food that's not so overpriced and Taste good. Customer Service is Excellent. I have no complaints. To me customer Service is a plus. That determines if I want to dine there again or not.

    As always the service was excellent, and we were seated right on time. Table and seating was also great. Waitress was on top of all our needs. She came back to the table often enough to make sure we were taken care of. Food was delivered to the table hot and as ordered. As we were all full from dinner and we did not have a desert. We have never had a bad time here at all. Good for the staff and the training that they have on making sure the customer comes first. Our dinner for 3 was priced about right at $90.00 with drinks. Will use them again for sure.

    It was a great first time experience, pricey but food was great. The panini could’ve used more steak but was thick in the cheese area so it worked out, fries were hot! Definitely a fan of that.

    It’s always good, that’s why we eat here. There WAS an issue with my wife’s meal (an Asian dish that tasted like it was overcooked) but it was remedied right away by our favorite server, thanks Judy!
