The Patio at ALMA

This socially-distanced outdoor dining space is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 9am to 8pm, featuring heated and tented seating. The morning menu features a full espresso bar and dishes for breakfast and brunch, and the afternoon menu has a lineup of small bites, nourishing plates, and warming cocktails. 

Executive Director Lisa Fruichantie saw the spacious outdoor courtyard as an opportunity to not only support the dedicated Alma Mater staff, but to support Tacoma artists as well during the reopening process. Fruichantie commissioned community artist Gerardo Pena to facilitate the Patio wall mural project, gathering a handful of Tacoma artists and muralists to bring their artistic style and vision to each letter of the Patio.
