Tacoma, Washington
Stadium District coffee shop and longtime queer daytime hangout
Cosmonaut Coffee (formerly Satellite Coffee) has poured espresso in Tacoma's Stadium District since 2007, across from Wright Park. It's long been a queer-friendly daytime hangout, a see-and-be-seen spot good for reading, working, or meeting up. The shop rebranded from Satellite Coffee after a trademark dispute with an unrelated New Mexico company of the same name.
