24 Hour Tacoma?

Where are the all night or even late night coffee shops in Tacoma?

I appreciate Bertolino’s but their space is postage stamp sized and you have to get in there at 8:30 PM to get a seat. UPS’ Diversions Cafe is a nice alternative with plenty of space and a 1 AM closing time most days of the week but as an undergraduate hangout it can get really noisy. My favorite coffee shop, the Black Water, closes at 9 PM most nights of the week. The Mandolin Cafe follows suit closing at 10 PM most nights of the week.

Am I missing something? Is there someplace else? I don’t really consider Shari’s or Metropolitan Market as viable alternatives.

Slim pickings. There area a bunch of places on South Tacoma Way that are open until 11 and 12 at night, if you fancy some late-night Korean food. The area near the Steilacoom blvd/S Tacoma Way intersection is peppered with late(r) night hangouts.
