Legit. My ginger spice cortado was respectably solid. My girlfriend's gochu/gang hot chocolate with an added espresso shot was amazing. Pastries were solid. Cute, authentic vibe. Really what made it five stars instead of four though was how kind and welcoming the barista was, she made us feel right at home when taking our drink orders. Thank you!

Friendly service, great coffee, and welcoming atmosphere--great local coffee stop if you're in the area. Bit pricey, but you get what you pay for--a delicious drink!

One of the staff members, John, was extremely knowledgeable and gave me tips on steaming alt milks. He made recommendations on low acidity roasts for my latte art at home. That guy was awesome and made my experience top notch.Olympia is a big name amongst the area's roasters, but this shop is unique even amongst them. Staff were passionate, used scales, and knew how to dial in a shot. I have full confidence that the beans I purchased will be delicious because I was able to try an espresso before leaving.New wave specialty coffee roasters seem to stigmatize dark roasts. It's unfortunate. I think there is this truism that a roaster only goes to second crack if they're trying to hide something, but I'd personally love to see options at all ends of the spectrum. There are so many flavors to explore in dark roasts, so it is a shame there wasn't at least one dark roast on the shelf.Olympia impressed me with their selection given this trend, however. They did have medium dark roasts, but it was a limited selection. So if you're looking for light or medium roasted beans for pour over, this is a great place to find coffee. Some of their mediums and certainly their couple of medium dark beans will be suitable for espresso. You won't find dark roasts here, though.

Olympia coffee has have had hight standards irrespective of the location. We were in the area so it was a no brainer when we craved coffee.What we ordered - Ginger orange latte, Pour over coffeeWhat we’ll takeaway - The latte was fabulous. The ginger and orange flavor was properly infused. The pour over was crisp too.

The coffee here is fantastic! (Some of the best in Tacoma.) And the staff are also very friendly and not pretentious. They have wifi, so you can easily work from here for a while.

I like this place, the coffee, and food. What has become really off-putting is the unfriendly attitude of the relatively new gals working there. I'm not going to call out anyone publicly, but the owner should keep an eye out on his staff, including some schedule morning of 12/28/23. Would have been a 5-star review otherwise, but after multiple experiences w/this individual, that's not going to happen.
Service was great! The drinks were strong and the perfect way to start the morning. The area that it's located in is perfect to grab a cookie and a coffee to walk around the cute neighboring area.

We were excited to try this shop! It did not fail to meet expectations. The baristas were very kind even in an early morning which has been a theme for our time here in Tacoma. Everyone is very welcoming. We enjoyed an americano and a latte with their house made syrup. It was absolutely delicious! The coffees were both super warm which is great in cold weather and the selection of both options for espresso and coffee and pastries is what you would expect at any shop. Well done.They had plenty of seating to stay in and free street parking which made it easy to pop in and out. We would most definitely return!

Tried a Hot Mocha. I am a more creamer than coffee guy so the Mocha seemed strong to me but I am sure a real coffee person would enjoy. Had a cherry walnut scone also, it was great (from Maccarina bakery). The baristas were very nice. Warm sunny location enjoyed the relaxing break from life.

Went in a few days ago because I was passing through. The lady behind the counter was so sweet and super friendly. She answered all of my questions and was willing to let me try something new and if I didn't like it she would switch it for something else.I appreciate the time she took and the conversation she had.Will definitely continue to return.
