Eat, Point Defiance

Pho Linh is My Dining Room

That's what it feels like, sometimes. Littlest enables my Vietnamese food obsession by requesting "the place with the grape soda" at least once a week, and off we go.

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.

Cavanaugh's Coffee (299 Good Days in Tacoma)

Last week, when I was hanging out with Tacomachickadee she mentioned this new-fangled technology called "wifi," whereby people can actually leave their homes and use their laptops at various places around town.

 

El Toro

Tacoma is home to a number of good Mexican restaurants. Our personal favorite is El Toro, a small local chain with 5 locations around the area. Their food is heads and shoulders above certain national chains that are very popular in these parts, and their relaxed atmosphere, great service, and comfortable booths make it a great family option.
