I'M BACK IN MY COMFORT ZONE >>>
Since the day I moved to Tacoma's North End neighborhood about five years ago, part of my daily routine was a quick stop at the Tully's in Old Town Tacoma. Friendly service - some I'd even consider friends - the coffee shop next to the park was the perfect way to get my caffeine needs met fast and a good excuse for park play with the toddler.
Then Tully's closed and my routine has never been the same. Aside from coffee giant Starbucks, no coffee shop was so conveniently placed on my daily route. My world resorted to a sad state of quick coffee fixes that filled the void but didn't fill my heart.
When I heard Treos was going to reside in the space - boasting café-like goods alongside wines and beers -I was intrigued and my anticipation consumed me during its renovation.
Its doors opened last week.
Treos is no Tully's. Treos is modern chic with earthy tones of greens, booths and tables, minimalist bulbs - all set the almost swank tone.
A former familiar face to the old Tully's location greeted me. Apparently, a couple of other former Tully's staff members are also working in the new digs. The charisma of a place is thanks in large part to the characters - these familiar faces were welcome while it was a pleasure to meet some of the new players as well.
Treos serves the usual roasted bean concoctions, as well as a decent selection of teas for your work hour needs. Once the lights dim, out come a lovely selection of wine and a tap list that boasts some tasty brews, including local favorites 7 Seas' Balls Deep and NIV Ale, and Harmon Brewing's Blonde and Eleventh Street IPA, gluten free Angry Orchard Cider and Triplehorn Stout.
If eats is what you seek, look no further. Treos features local baked goods such as muffins, croissants and house made flatbreads. Treos flatbread menu left me indecisive because they all sounded like lovely flavor profiles pairing pears and brown sugar, red peppers and goat cheese, chicken and ranch and, the one I settled on, the Treos flatbread with chorizo sausage and drunken goat cheese, which was a delightful and a fair $10 for a sharable nibble. Treos also offers a bacon and egg brunch special and cheese platter.
I'll drop by for a night hang soon.
Treos seems a natural fit for the Old Town Tacoma community - whether for a quick coffee or pre-show date night.
