38 Best Coffee Shops in Olympia

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

“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!“

“Tried Plum Street Espresso this morning and I will definitely be back. The barista felt like sunshine, so happy and positive. I love to see it. & the coffee was amazing. Definitely recommend 🙌🏻“

“Really great people, ambiance, coffee, and food. Definitely has the added bonus of being walking distance from my service department. 😀“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Always great service and above average coffee!“

“I haven’t tried their coffee or their food but I am a big lotus energy drinker. I haven’t been there physically but have ordered through DoorDash so many times. They will do any flavor combo that you like and it always turns out so good. The best lotus drinks I have had are from this shop. They never miss!!“

“Say no more…say no more….just go.“

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

“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“

“Started recently going here. It's literally a minute from my home.Love that they have white coffee!!!!!!!My puppy girl always gets a treat. She knows when we pull up.Have had white chocolate mocha too and it was enjoyable. I've not enjoy those from elsewhere.ove that they have heavy cream too!Punch yard yes please!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The owner and employees are the nicest people! Super busy making our custom orders but still had the time to strike up a friendly conversation (but not scary like Dutch bros). Frappe is AMAZINGLY smooth!! Can’t wait to try every flavor 🤗“

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

“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“

“Willis makes the best scones I have ever tasted, the coffee is also very good!
We discovered his bakery by chance, the atmosphere is him and his music!
I would stop in Olympia just for his scones. His suggestion of seeing Tumwater falls was appreciated. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“As a resident of Louisiana, my coffee shop options generally revolve around Starbucks and CC's Coffee. However, stepping into this new place felt like entering a whole new world, akin to comparing Ruth’s Chris Steak House to McDonald’s. I decided to try their Vanilla Chai Latte, and let me tell you, it was so exquisite that it left me making the delighted face Keith Lee is famous for.“

“Friendly staff and a good drink!“

“Great coffee and great service.“

“It was fine nothing special“

“I just took the featherweight maintenance class, which I can’t recommend highly enough. The owners of Shiplap were also there, and they are such a friendly, fun couple. Can’t wait to visit their store again, and take more classes with them.“

“I went to this location earlier today and expected just a typical starbucks experience. however i learned that there are some people that are made for customer service and the lady who served me was one of them. I didn’t get her name but she is from jacksonville florida and she was the absolute sweetest person i have ever met and gave me the best service i have ever received at any place ever. If this girl is making minimum wage you need to up that because she is fantastic.“

“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 ...“

“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!“

“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!“
