20 Best Cafes in Olympia

“Love, love, love Olympia Baking Company!!!

The owner, Willis, is friendly, helpful, generous with his time, and best of all an amazing pastry baker!

I don't know how he makes the tastiest scones we've ever had, but he manages to make them Gluten-Free and sometimes even Vegan.

His bakery is a dedicated GF facility...he also serves other items in addition to scones, you need to check out this jewel of a business!“

“Great fish & chips! Always nice service, relaxed and down home atmosphere.“

“the food here is SOOOO GOOD! It's a vegan café but im not even a vegetarian and I love to eat here. The mashed potatoes and gravy are my go-to for yummy comfort food, with a glass of wine of course. The Large Marge buffalo salad is my daughter's fave! It's a groovy joint where everyone feels comfortable:) Check it out!“

“Treat your self to a delicious experience. This menu and the folks that will create your meal and more are delightful.“

“I live for Seth's Sidewalk Cafe!!! We eat here every chance we get. Just a block from the farmers market, this is the perfect weekend breakfast and lunch spot! Epic bagels (My fav is taylor ham, egg, and cheese with SPK on everything bagel), and amazing quiche and sandwich specials. Every visit is an adventure, but there are also amazing favorites I come back for again and again (like the beet salad). The owner, Seth, brings the perfect combo of Jersey and fine dining, cultivating a creative and unique menu everything local and fresh. The team is incredible, and I am a sucker for Christie's cookies. Top notch food and good vibes all around. I could not recommend more!! See you there!“

“Stopped here on a whim while in the area for work and was pleasantly surprised, my blended coffee and breakfast burrito were delicious and the view was even better. Yes it may be pricey but so isn’t everything now, you’re paying more for the great service and it’s definitely worth the extra few bucks.“

“Bought a bag of Morning Sun whole beans. Package says it's a darker roast. Darker than what? Water? We tried it three mornings in a row. With no other whole beans in the house, I had to switch to instant coffee. Morning Sun is NOT a dark roast. Sorry to say I was very disappointed.“

“This place is a gem! Easy parking, great location, great service, and amazing food! This is an instant favorite for Lynda and me! Easily the best Cubano I've ever had, and the pan con lechon is even better! The ropa vieja with Cuban black beans was delicious! Portions are generous. Highly recommend Mi Luna!“

“Lovely selection of wines for tasting. A bit pricey, a good selection of local wines. Not shabby on the international selection. Sign up to receive alerts for events in store. Good end to the day, sipping wine, interacting, and listening to live music.“

“Friendly staff and a good drink!“

“Great customer service. Friendly service. Excellent pastries.“

“Not a coffee drinker but I enjoy redbull drinks and smoothies, several of the girls are very sweet, I wish I could remember their names to give them a proper shout out, I think one of them is also named Elyse? Anyways, good service, usually pretty quick, they usually know my order and always ask if I want my banana bread which is pretty dang good if you haven’t tried it. It’s a good go to with fair pricing and friendly service.“

“I just picked up a premade chicken pot pie and it was fantastic! Thank you for making a smaller pot pie that’s suitable for 1-2 servings. Delicious!“

“I saw the reviews and noticed they sell tamales here so I came to try them. I tried the pork and chicken tamales and they were bomb. The masa was soft and moist, seasoned very well. I also got some pan dulce and I can't complain. The only issue I have is that the chicken tamale I got was more masa than chicken. I'm definitely coming back for more though.“

“First time. Had Pacific cedar plank salmon and clam chowder. Salmon from Alaska. Best I’ve ever had“

“I've been coming to this place for over 50 years. You will never walk away hungry or regretting anything you ordered. The service was absolutely stellar! Amanda was very attentive to any of our cuisine requests. Are coffee cups were always kept topped off. I'm a very difficult person to please, And they managed to make me feel like a king. I would recommend this place whether you're looking for just a cup of coffee, a full sit-down meal or a quick game of pool or shuffleboard. Fantastic atmosphere.“

“First time stopping by this bakery, I only went in to buy some pastries. I stopped by around 10am and they were already almost out of pastries. I did really enjoy their butterhorn croissant. The service was a little lacking, but this seems to be normal in the city of Olympia in general. If you're in the food and service industry good customer service and smiling goes a long way.“

“Fast and friendly service“

“Yesterday I picked up the most beautiful birthday cake for my mother’s 90th birthday. These folks knocked it out of the park! Asked them to just use the icing colors they had available to make it pretty…and glitter bomb it. It was stunning, everyone loved it! Thank you so much!🧁♥️ But, I have to add, I bought two berry scones which turned out to be fairly raw/doughy inside…not edible and got trashed. 💔“

“I didn’t even get a picture it was so good I couldn’t stop! The Baklava best one I’ve had I eat the whole thing before my meal came out ! It only took about 7 or so minutes . It was hot, fresh, plenty of meat , veggies and sauce on everything“
