About Us

Some say it was Rock & Roll that brought  this dream to life. Some say it was addiction, and dispair. Whatever the folklore says, we can’t be sure. What we are sure of is we are here, right now, making great ____coffee and being the best representation of Tacoma possible.

Keeping Tacoma Feared since 2007

why cosmonaut

Cosmonaut Coffee started as Satellite Coffee and originally partnered w/Stumptown out of Portland Oregon. In 2007 Stumptown had the best coffee we’d ever had & we shared many of the same values. The first 8 years we spent with Stumptown were indispensable, setting the precedent for our current ethos. We moved on from Stumptown & changed our name to Cosmonaut Coffee. We aren’t in witness protection, nor are we communists. We are proud to be American Capitalists, because we are small & personal, and we want to be an example of how capitalism can work for all people. We remain dedicated to serving the best coffee we can find, and we never want to make a profit at the expense of someone else’s freedom, health or welfare. Currently we serve Cat and Cloud Coffee Roasters, but don’t be surprised to find other roasters making a special guest appearance if they are uniquely special craft coffee. The term craft coffee gets thrown around a lot, but if it fits…

My life is about Cosmonaut. We cater to everyone, especially those who love coffee & those who want to know more about coffee. Only 2 things come to mind as guiding principles to our MO: One: Our goal is making delicious & interesting coffees. We’ve spent years trying to find great coffees & perfecting the craft of making it right. It’s an ever evolving science/art. Our employees are coffee geeks willing to constantly learn, train, improve, and share their knowledge with you & with each other. Two. Everyone’s welcome regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, gender or religious identification. We don’t tolerate bigotry or belligerence. We’ll send people home if they display racism, sexism, sexual impropriety, hatefulness, homophobia, or intolerance of other humans. So you can meet anyone here from Soccer Moms to Drag Queens, Suits to Scumbags, Billionaires to Bums, maybe even all at the same time. So Novice or Expert, you are welcome here, so long as you can be or act nice.
