47 Best Coffee Shops in Olympia

“Their pastries are so delicious. I've loved every one that I've tried, including the maple scone, tofu and caramelized onion tart, and sausage and cheese biscuit. This cafe is such a wonderful option in a town where vegan breakfast is so hard to find!“

“What a beautiful place! The coffee is excellent and the service is top notch. Do yourself a favor and stop in for coffee or fun eclectic items you don't even know you need yet!“

“I stopped by this espresso stand on a whim, and I’m so glad I did! The barista was absolutely amazing—friendly, upbeat, and just overall fantastic. She made my drink perfectly; it was one of the best espresso drinks I’ve had in a long time—smooth, flavorful, and just the right balance. Great service, great coffee, and a great vibe. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Perfect spot to hang out. Great coffee, pastries, people, music, and decor.“

“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.“

“Friendly, fast, great tasting! Best in town!“

“Favorite stand hands down. Girls are amazing, kind, fast, and GOOD baristas. Coffee is always slapping, never had a complaint. I just pull up and they know what to do. AWESOME customer service 110/10 recommend.“

“Say no more…say no more….just go.“

“It’s my all-time favorite white mocha…and I have had me a few. Plus the people are the bestest!“

“I met with someone today who wanted to learn about spinning on a spinning wheel I had for sale. I had never been to this shop, but we wanted to meet halfway between us, preferably at a locally owned coffee shop. We had a wonderful time, and the coffee was wonderful! And best of all, I found out after we were finished there are gluten-free treats!! I made a new friend today, and we hope to meet once a month. We would love to make this little shop a regular meeting point.“

“They’re the best! Love the call in order for our busy weekends! They’re always so kind to our kids 5/5.“

“Does it take a bit of time (if there is a line)? Yes.. is it worth it? Yes! The girls here are always extremely nice (big shout out to Hailey who is always so extremely nice and extra friendly) and they are consistent. The coffee is fresh and ALWAYS good.. the muffins are killer. I went here once and haven't been anywhere else to get my coffee since. Set aside an extra 10mins and get a real coffee from a clean and friendly place. 100% recommend.“

“My goodness what an amazing place. The coffee is really top notch, the pastries made in-house are superb, and the ambience is perfect. What really sets Samayra apart though are the employees. Great people, friendly and interesting. My wife and I go there about once a week.“

“Rose gives a world-class masterclass in coffee, and the roastery team's knowledge and insights are fascinating. Highly recommend taking a small group for the tasting and tour for a delicious and educational experience.

Parking: Private lot behind the roastery.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps and step-free access throughout.“

“I love this place! their drinks are awesome, and the ladies that work there are absolutely fabulous! ❤❤❤“

“Great coffee and great service.“

“I would definitely recommend The Shiplap Quilt Shop. I placed 2 orders on the same day and they refunded my shipping charge on the second order without me asking. Fabric is great quality and shipping was prompt. I will definitely order more from this store.“

“Family owned, Delicious coffee and amazing quiche!! Family oriented, friendly fast baristas!nextdoor to animal shelter so frequent fundraisers for animals in need! Best coffee prices in town!!“

“I normally don’t do reviews but i need to today. I come to this stand a lot and I’m always greeted well. Everyone is always so amazing. I went in yesterday because I’ve been having a rough couple of days and decided I wanted a treat. The guy taking my order asks me how I was doing and I responded how I was having a rough time. He was incredibly kind. Normally I don’t really talk like that but yesterday I decided to be honest. I go to pay and he tells me he is covering it. I truly hope this doesn’t get him in trouble but I cried on my way home. Last week for me as been really challenging mentally and it’s been a lot. A simple act of kindness. It meant everything. I never got his name but if the staff reads these. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Also my coffee is of course is delicious as they always make my coffee drinks exactly how I want it. Forever will go to this Dutch bros. Y’all are amazing people.“

“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 my new obsession. It's a cafe, but the baristas are more like bartenders and make you feel really welcome. There's a variety of seating, pretty much a vibe for whatever your needs are that day. Sometimes I need to study, sometimes I'm there with a group, sometimes with my partner and we want a quiet corner. You can bring in outside food too, which is amazing. They have a taco truck outside! The only thing is they have events that take up the whole cafe sometimes and if you aren't expecting it it can be overestimating. Not worth taking a star off though!“

“Dear Drip Espresso Management, I am writing to share both my enthusiastic praise for Drip Espresso and some constructive feedback regarding a recent experience. For a long time, my friend and I have been regular customers, drawn in by the consistently delicious coffee and the evident passion your baristas usually demonstrate. The quality of your coffee is exceptional, and we've always appreciated the dedication to crafting a perfect drink. However, our recent visits have been somewhat marred by interactions with a particular barista, Cassi. On several occasions, we've encountered what we perceived as a negative attitude and a lack of attentiveness to customer service. These instances have ranged from seemingly dismissive responses to concerns about forgotten pastry items to an inadequate handling of our beverage orders (in one instance, a missing whipped cream topping, and in another, insufficient whipped cream served with an inappropriate lid). While we understand everyone has off days, the recurring nature of these issues has diminished our overall enjoyment of our usual pre-work ritual. The atmosphere at Drip Espresso has always been bright and cheerful, and we felt that these negative interactions were incongruent with the generally positive experience the establishment provides. We believe that addressing these concerns could significantly enhance the customer experience. We value Drip Espresso highly and hope these observations are viewed constructively. We remain loyal customers and hope to continue to enjoy your wonderful coffee in a consistently positive environment. Sincerely, TM“

“Wow what an amazing coffee stand great service great coffee outstanding views. Not a hot coco stand so leave the kiddos at home. Im gonna come here every day. It puts a little spring in my step and a little lead in the pencil. Thank you nisqually nation . Thank you franks landing“

“Friendly staff and a good drink!“

“The most amazing coffee I order at leastv2. Times a say!!!“

“Favorite stand hands down. Girls are amazing, kind, fast, and GOOD baristas. Coffee is always slapping, never had a complaint. I just pull up and they know what to do. AWESOME customer service 110/10 recommend.“

“It was fine nothing special“

“1st time I've stopped since they opened the girl working the counter was very nice and efficient gave me some ideas. She made my drink perfectly! The price is a surprise as it was not inflated like other shops! Will definitely be going there more!“

“I went here yesterday for the first time. Amazing customer service and perfectly made breakfast sandwich and coffee. Highly recommend!“

“This was my first visit, definitely not my last. I ordered the turkey pesto sandwich with a cup of the loaded baked potato soup, delicious! Sooo nice being able to dine out knowing I’m able to eat anything on the menu…gluten free! Staff is friendly & the atmosphere is cozy!“

“Always great service and above average coffee!“

“Great coffee, comfortable atmosphere, fair prices, and the friendliest baristas around! What more could you ask for?“

“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!“

“Baristas here are always hard at work. There is usually no line, due to the Starbucks in the parking lot, bit as that one is constantly closed this one picks up their business. And they usually do so without complaint. Fast and friendly in any circumstance.“

“I couldn't get My usual coffee from this location this morning because of a power outage, so I went to a different location.

I will tell you that this location makes a completely different level of coffee. From the service to the product. This location is the best around.

And the staff are all sweethearts. Especially the morning crew (Paige, Abigail, and Chloe).

I can't stress enough how disappointed I was on the other location.

Please don't lose power again guys. 😂🖤“

“I waited 2 weeks for you to get hazelnut back to just be told the very next day your out of hazelnut, toffee, and salted caramel. You didn’t change anything on your app. Didn’t have time to go to another one. Very disappointing. Clearly you have an ordering product problem. Not to mention one of your employees was very rude about it. If I wasn’t running late I would have spoken to a manager!!!!“

“New to town looking for odd jobs, and taking care of my kiddos. This has been a great Starbucks for me to start my day, and get my phone stuff done while drinking coffee. I noticed they have a good handed artist doing the specials. Thanks y'all cheers“

“We love Dancing Goats the best!!! It’s a flavor I never forget!!“

“My partner and I used to be fine drinking the espresso and drip we made for ourselves, but Cafe Au Lait has completely ruined that. The coffee is SO GOOD and so well crafted that everything we make now tastes like garbage in comparison. My partner and I are going to max out our credit cards at the rate we keep crawling back every day. Hands down the best coffee in Olympia, and single handedly the reason I, a millennial, am poor.“

“EVERYONE SERVICES VERY GOOD .... ALWAYS HAPPY WITH CUSTOMERS I LOVE ❤ 😍 💖 YOU GUYS ...“

“My husband and I came here for coffee and I wanted a keto latte: diabetics have to keep carbs down. The barista said she didn't know about that, and the manager overheard so she came over quickly and explained that the staff members were not trained in keto products but she knew exactly what I wanted. She explained it to the staff and I ended up getting the best keto latte that I have ever had. THANK you to the manager here!!!“

“Stopped for some late caffeine and a snack to tide us over on a trip from NW Olympia to Seattle. They were so kind (even though our senior dog was being super grumpy). We loved the chai and absolutely blown away at the delicious turkey sandwich and 🌹tahini cookies! Do you cater for events in the Olympia area? Many thanks!“

“I absolutely love this place. One of the first I tried moving to Olympia and haven't found anything close to as good. The pho is so good!!“

“The best Barista's in Olympia! Skylar Julia Kelsi Laurie Randi Kayla love them!“

“I love these two hole in the wall shops. Downtown Oly has so many hidden gems!! The associates at the chocolate shop were very friendly, the store has so many options but it is quite spendy. The associates at the tea shop didn't even acknowledge me and made me feel dumb for asking questions, no good. I liked all the options of the each and the prices were fair.“

“Best baristas around. They sprinkle a little bit of love and magic in each cup, making my drink 10 times better than any other Starbucks.“
