45 Best Coffee Shops in Olympia

“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!“

“the owls nest (Owl House as my brain likes to remember it) has wonderful pastries and food options. their drinks are balanced and well made. the atmosphere matches the Olympia vibe really well and I feel very comfortable here. it's not too loud, but it's not so quiet that I feel like everyone can hear me talking with my friends either. great cafe to sit and talk or do my own thing at.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“All of the individuals that work here are kind, attentive, personable, and great at what they do! The coffee is amazing - iced half-sweet caramel americano is 🤌The vanilla chais are also delicious. The pastries and burritos are yum. All around, great experience and love coming back to this location 😊“

“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!!“

“The BEST coffee and food!! I’m really picky about my coffee and they have the best tasting coffee and they also roast their coffee beans in house which I LOVE! They have the best breakfast sandwiches and burritos as well! And make everything in house and it’s actually healthy. And to top it off they have the best people that work there and amazing customer service! I couldn’t recommend this place enough!! ♥️“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Great coffee and great service.“

“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.“

“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“

“Friendly staff and a good drink!“

“Ordered a custom cake and it was beautiful as well as delicious. If you want a custom cake, I recommend checking Forza Coffee in old Phoebe Bakery location.“

“There are places you go for coffee…and then there are places that genuinely make your day better. Johnny’s Coffee Co. is one of those places.

One of the first things you notice when you walk in is how welcome you feel. Not the kind of welcome that feels rehearsed, but something real, something human. People look at you, smile, and you can tell they actually care about your experience.

Lately, it feels like many places are just going through the motions. That’s what makes this place stand out. There’s intention here. The baristas take pride in what they do, and you can see it in every drink they make, crafted with care, consistency, and a quiet professionalism.

It’s refreshing to see people take their work seriously without losing the human side of it. There’s kindness in the way they communicate, patience in the way they listen, and authenticity in every interaction. Nothing feels forced.

Very few places manage to balance quality and connection the way this one does. You’re not just getting a great cup of coffee, you’re getting a moment in your day where things slow down just enough to remind you that people still care.

I’ve always believed in supporting family-owned businesses because they tend to be rooted in something deeper than just business. Johnny’s Coffee reflects that completely. It feels like a place built with purpose, where people matter.

And every time I leave, I notice something simple but meaningful, my day feels a little better. That’s not something you can fake or manufacture. That comes from people who choose to show up the right way, every single day.“

“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“

“Two Sisters Coffee Company is a true Olympia favorite! The coffee is always fresh, smooth, and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. I tried the Breve coffee, and it was perfect and exactly how I like it!
This spot is great for both a quick stop or a relaxing sit-down. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend to anyone in the area!“

“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!“

“The customer service is wonderful no matter who is serving or time of day.“

“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“

“Always great service and above average coffee!“

“My order, they usually know before I pull up to drive-thru and my name too. 16 oz Medium Drip, 6 Raw Sugar, Steam Cream. Excellent medium drip cawfee its my go to place for a cup o'mud. The Breakfast Crissoints are the best tasting arrive nice and hot. The last thing I normally order from here would be another Breakfast Item: burrito. I cant finish the whole thing (no gall bladder) and save the rest for next day. Drip coffee and breakfast about $10 is a great price for my frugal budget.“

“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. 😂🖤“

“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.“

“Went here earlier this morning, it was amazing the scones whether vegan or not were amazing, buttery soft and delicious, Can't find a better scone in Washington whether in the area or not it's worth the drive, the owner was nice and friendly“

“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 ...“

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

“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!“
