Forza Coffee Company (250 Good Days in Tacoma: Local Coffee Success Story)

OK, there are a few coffee success stories around here. But if "success" means establishing a solid business based on a quality product and nice atmosphere and turning that into a franchise, Forza Coffee company is pretty successful right now. So much so, that I didn't realize they were a local chain, based in Gig Harbor with 15 locations in the South Sound region.

I almost vetoed a stop at the Forza on N Pearl St. today, because I thought they were a national chain. Now I don't feel so guilty about my love for their drive-throughs and frappes. They also sell coffee cards, (the electronic gift card kind, not the hole punch kind) which has come in handy on a couple of occasions.

Today we stopped into the store on Pearl St. for a couple of coffee drinks, a delicious chicken ceasar delivered fresh from Joeseppi's next door, and a danish. Everything was up to their usual quality standard, although my husband's breve could have used a little more cream. (Keep in mind this comes from a man who consumes two quarts of cream a week) The atmosphere was comfy enough that an older gentlemen was sleeping soundly on the couch the entire time we were there. I guess he had decaf.
