Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
TeKu Tavern + Café runs two distinct beverage programs under one roof: a tavern with a live tap list and a café with a Fall 2026 coffee menu. The café side is the standout, offering a dedicated non-coffee section with Chai Latte, Matcha, London Fog, Hot Chocolate, Steamer, and a range of teas. The beer program is broad, with many options on tap and in coolers for takeaway, and staff are happy to discuss the beers. A 2025 Best Cider Retailer Northwest award from the American Cider Association underscores the cider focus.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Chai Latte or Matcha from the Fall 2026 non-coffee menu. For beer, ask staff about the current tap list and consider a cider, given the venue's 2025 Best Cider Retailer Northwest recognition. The Apple Cider, hot or iced, is a seasonal option worth trying.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone seeking a broad beer selection with takeaway coolers, cider fans drawn by the award-winning program, and those who want a thoughtful nonalcoholic drink from a dedicated café menu.
- When should I go?
- Visit during café hours for the Fall 2026 coffee menu, or stop by the tavern to explore the live tap list. The Apple Cider is a seasonal special, so it is best enjoyed during the fall season.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Non-coffee drinks range from $4.50 for an 8oz Steamer to $6.75 for a 16oz Matcha. Teas are $4.75, Herbal (Tozi) is $5.25, and the Apple Cider is $4.00 / $5.50 / $7.25 depending on size. Beer prices are not listed.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a tavern tap program and a café with a dedicated non-coffee menu is unusual. The 2025 Best Cider Retailer Northwest award from the American Cider Association highlights a serious cider focus, while the Fall 2026 coffee menu offers a wide range of nonalcoholic options.
