If you are in Tacoma and need a cupcake and some coffee, I'd suggest Jubilee Cupcakes. The cupcakes are about $2.75 each, which I would be more miffed about if I hadn't accepted that everyone needs to make a living. My favorite is the pink champagne cupcake, which they tend to have on Thursdays and Saturdays and Sundays. It's a dainty little place in the comfy little Proctor District. So, get your groceries and have a nice sandwich from the Metropolitan Market, go to the bookstore, stop by the Cancer Society thrift shop, and then grab a cupcake for the ride home!

And if you're downtown -- say you're hitting the Tacoma Art Museum and urbanXchange -- and want a cupcake, Hello Cupcake is also good. It's about the same as Jubilee, except more popular. I don't think they have the champagne cake, though.
