18 Best Coffee Shops in Tumwater

“Wife gives this place a 5.

But, they teased me about making up my own drink order. I wanted a black forest mocha. They said they didn't know what that was. I guess chocolate and cherry flavor that has been associated with that title has somehow traveled across the globe from Germany, but managed to elude contact with Tumwater, WA.

Anyway, they make good coffee, but don't know common (IMO) drinks and don't have any prices posted. I give them a 3 ?“

“Amazing staff and coffee!“

“Beautiful Americano and tasted great too!“

“Best coffee I’ve tried since moving from GA 😩 Perfect mixture of strong coffee but also sweet for my taste. The baristas are always so nice as well 😊 Definitely my go to everyday ❤️ also, very CHEAP and affordable for how good it is!“

“Barista was very friendly and kind. Coffee is good.

Issue — menu and barista provided unclear pricing expectations.

Menu lists 16 oz drinks for X price. Asked barista if 16 oz drink comes with 2 shots. Barista said 2 shots.

Got bill and it was around $1.50-$2.00 more than I expected.

Charged for extra shot.

Also charged for card use (under $10).

That’s fine, but it would be nice to have that clarity from the beginning. Here’s a suggestion to how the conversation could go:

Customer: “hi, does the 16 oz mocha come with 2 shots?”

Barista: “it comes with 1 shot, but I can add another shot for X (price)”

Customer: “okay, I’ll stick with 1 shot, thank you”

Barista: “that’ll be X total, cash or card?”

Customer: “card, please”

Barista: “great. Do note that for totals under $10 we charge a 40 cent processing fee”

Customer: “cool, thanks for the info!”

Again, coffee was good. And this extra information might even be on the menu (unsure, hard to see when it’s on a sign that’s behind where someone pulls up). This is a brief suggestion for how the whole customer experience is. And those little tidbits of info are super helpful, at least speaking for my experience.“

“Walked up through the drive thru on June 8th. Great place. Sally and Jesse were awesome!!! I got an iced caramel macchiato. It was perfect. Came back the next day and got another one. Great ladies made me feel at home even though I am from Tri-Cities Wa.“

“We accidentally found these phenomenal waffles on our way to a softball tournament in Centralia. So phenomenal in fact that we drove out of our way 3 days in a row to come back for breakfast. We tried the Bourbon Maple w/ Bacon, the Dalmatian, The Local GOAT, Jalapeno Business and Banana's foster, all exceeded our expectations. Definitely give Abe's a try, you won't be sorry!“

“"Where everybody knows your name!" (and your order) 71 years in Texas when I pulled up deep roots and moved to the PNW. I made my first new friends at this Starbucks on Trosper. Devin was the first to remember my name and my order (Tall, triple shot latte with 4 raw sugar stirred in) and was authentically friendly. Soon I was conversing with Kayla, Brandon, Josh, Sahara, and Lou Ann. Some of the baristas have moved on at this posting and are greatly missed. I look forward to meeting the new baristas ... eventually. Just wanted to post my appreciation for this particular Starbucks' staff - no Seattle Freeze ( or whatever it's called) here. The Trosper Starbucks has a group of regulars who are delightful as well. Thanks to each of you for transitioning me from TX Starbucks to your humble outpost in the PNW. Y'all made me feel welcome in my new home. And P.S. there's NO Drive-thru! I love that! Such a big plus.“

“My favorite coffee shop around. Every drink I've tried has been great. Cutest cozy atmosphere, great vibes. I love that they have ice cream for my littles.“

“They are great but if you go inside you will find that drive through is definitely the priority. I thought I would save time going In because the drive through was around the building. I was treated rudely in the lobby. Always treated well in drive through.“

“Great coffee, with great flavor!! Starting my journey of coffee from all 50 states!! This was a good start!!“

“I deliver for Uber Eats & every time I come into this location Troy is EXCEPTIONALLY AMAZING!!!“

“I want to give a big compliment to Starbucks on Cleveland Avenue in Tumwater. The employees are friendly and provide good service. The store is clean and bright and welcoming. But this review goes out to Annika who went above and beyond and helped jump start my car battery in the parking lot. I’m so appreciative. I want her manager and district manager to know what an excellent employee they have here, which I’m sure they already do. Thank you, Annika!“

“This is the only Starbucks I ever visit (which isn’t actually that often). Great staff and ambiance. Today the staff saved me as I promised my daughter a cake pop and I stalled long enough for Starbucks to close early due to weather conditions. They served me despite the fact that they were wrapping up for the night. Huge thanks! I also love that they renovated an old run down farmhouse and turned it into a modern coffee shop while keeping the original charm.“

“I haven’t had better coffee or service at any other stand. Grab a breakfast burrito with your coffee too, they’re delicious!“

“I live down the road and sometimes will stop here on my way back from taking my kids to school. I always get the cookies and cream frap, and my husband gets the same but with 5 extra shots....he's crazy, I know. Their coffee is amazing! I absolutely love it, their prices are so worth it and their reward system is super cool too!! 5 stars!“

“Kid-friendliness: Just wanted to give a shout out to the girls working a late shift tonight for their friendliness and kindness to this momma that came in for water. They were very nice polite and not judgey. Thank you Mo and the other girl working“

“My order was given to me by a rude, arrogant person who commanded me to never come to his window with a cigarette lit in my car. I understand that this is a family restaurant and what his concern involved. I extinguished my cigarette, got my order, and drove off feeling injured. He showed no tolerance for me! Some kindness may have brought me back to McDonalds with my grandson!“
