“Such a great hidden gem! Went here with my family (one celiac and one gluten-intolerant) and we tried almost every scone on offer for the day. The cheddar bacon was a favorite, along with the peach-mango, but everything we tried was fabulous. I can eat gluten, and I'll still say these gluten free scones are some of the best scones I've ever had. The owner and chef is also clearly very passionate about his work and it comes through in the amazing food he's making. An absolute delight. Don't miss this spot if you're visiting Olympia!

Dietary restrictions: Great for celiac or gluten free folks!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love all coffee shops and frequent them often. When I'm home I always make my drink perfect but Everytime I stop at a coffee shop they are good but not perfect, until this morning! I got my vanilla chai but I tried it blended with my extra flavors . The girl that was working at the lacey big foot java at 4:55 am absolutely killed my drink! I wish I caught her name. It was ?. All my extras in my drink were perfect! I loved it and I'll come back to this big foot java when she's working every day of the week. I love when baristas know what they are doing and she's amazing. When I go in tomorrow morning I'll make sure I get her name and I'll edit it in here for everyone! Perfect drink , and barista , waiting time.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but they deserve it.

Yes the outside is a bit rough. The inside is clean and simple!

Service: friendly, helpful. 10/10 the guy with the gauges was a good employee.

Food: listen I was starving. The minute I got in my car I cracked it open and ate. Pita? Warm and fluffy. Gyro? Messy and bomb. 10/10

Drink: I got a smoothie. IT WAS SO CREAMY. I loved it. Originally when I saw a 16oz smoothie come out for that prove I was bummed. Now I understand why. Delicious and gone before I got home. 10/10“

“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.“
