Best scones, hands down, and the coffee is a treat as well. I don't eat in very often, but I plan to. The employees have always done a wonderful job recommending things from the enticing and staples and seasonal options.Kid-friendliness: The kiddo likes to ask about every sweet thing on the menu, and the staff have always cheerfully explained each item and made wonderful recommendations.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access seems to be "baked in" to this location. I saw nothing that would hinder entering or seating for customers needing wheelchair accessibility.

I was looking for a hometown bakery that wasn't a Starbucks or downtown with no parking. Phoebe's is the place. Homemade pastries and savory sandwiches, tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Good stop for you and your kids, or hanging out with friends. A small seating area rounds out the experience.

Ok, so, words and pictures do NOT do their art, expertise, or customer service justice. Just got a custom cake for my daughter's wedding reception. As good as the cake looked (if you can get past her choice of black icing) it honestly tasted just as good, if not better than it looked!!!Customer for life and looking for excuses to order more cakes and goodies!!

Such a lovely little cafe. Limited seating, about 5 booths and a few tables so maybe avoid lunch and breakfast rush if you intend to dine in. We stopped because a friend recommended it and despite being in the area often, I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise, tucked away in the southern part of Olympia. Still, it's a much try for the taste buds ESPECIALLY if you love sweets - cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, scones, pies, even specialty cakes, made to order. If you need something more substantial, they also have sandwiches, pot pies, quiches, salads, etc. Coffee's really just a bonus at this point.

Great pastries!! Their king cake in 2024 was even better than 2023 version. So much better and fresher than getting shipped.

I found it to be pretty expensive, for someone to eat there often they need to have plenty of money.
I drove from Seattle to meet a friend here on a Monday. Nothing in your hours says that you are closed Mondays. That was annoying.

I haven't actually been here, but my sister brought a cheese ball and chicken pot pie to a family gathering...and it was so delicious that I had to look this place up (& leave a review!). Wow!! The cheese ball was amazing (so 70s in my mind; and the perfect party food)!! The crust on the pot pie could make me cry. Yum.

This place is kinda shabby and has convenience store for office workers vibes, but the food they serve is on point. The best cakes I've had in Olympia can be found here. That's not the greatest compliment, since mostly if you want a slice of cake, you gotta get it in the bakery of the grocery store and those cakes are overladen with frosting, but the fact that they use whipped cream icing on the cakes elevates their cake slices above the rest. The people are nice and very helpful, but the only thing I have against this place is they definitely just cater to the office crowd, because they are open in the morning and close at 3pm. If you're jonesing for cake like I am somedays, you're not going to get it after work, so they lose a star for that. I like that they have frozen pies, both in fruit and savory styles, so I'm going to have to try that.
