13 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Tumwater

“Love the coffee flights, they switch them out every month so it’s exciting to go in and try the new ones, they also have the best cold brew by far, not watery at all and if you get it with the sweet cold foam it is perfect! Definitely check it out!“

“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!“

“A place tea lovers should definitely visit - this is the third time my daughters and I have been here with so many choices of tea and coffee. The drinks was delicious ❤️“

“I stopped in for the first time today and had a wonderful experience. I didn't catch her name but the manager made my order. I wanted to try something new and asked her to surprise me with a hot coffee, with coffee forward flavor and not to sweet. She made the perfect drink. She said it was brownie batter 'less sweet.'
Lately I've been disappointed with coffee stand orders because it tastes like hot water with the essence of coffee. Not here. My drink was full bodied, rich, smooth and sooo delicious. I wish I lived closer, this would be my new go-to.“

“They have beers that are consistently good and they have won two awards at the Washington Beer Awards this year. Family friendly.“

“Great service, the inside gives a good vibe and the outdoor patio is filled with gorgeous plants and is beautiful out there all year round!“

“Great bar for music on the weekends. Great food and service as well.“

“Today was my first time going here even though I live close by. The young woman who helped me was so pleasant, friendly, and relaxed I was inspired to write this review. I ordered an English toffee latte, and the syrup wasn't strong at all, which I liked. Sometimes places make it so syrupy it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This one was good. My son liked his hot chocolate, and our barista even gave him some sprinkles. Will go again for sure.“

“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.“

“We love Playing Music and enjoying the outstanding beverages at The Mighty Matchless Brewing.“

“Highly recommend this shop. Staff is friendly. I always feel warmly greeted and taken care of. August that works there is a GEM!“

“Initially was headed to the Lemongrass in Lacey that was closed for repairs so headed to Tumwater instead. Much smaller establishment but the food was the same. Was greeted by a very friendly waiter. Food came out fast even though there were several to go orders ahead of me.“

“I’ve ordered the Thai fried rice and mango sticky rice from Nana Pattaya Express several times now—and I’ll keep coming back. They’re absolutely one of my favorites.

That said, I must say some of the reviews listed here are ignorant, and frankly, biased.

While I agree that the fried rice was a bit too spicy for a level 2 heat the first time I ordered it, I’ve since requested it with level 0 spiciness and less salt—and it came out perfect.

As for the mango sticky rice, I couldn’t help but cackled at the comment claiming that the green hue on the sticky rice is a food safety concern. The ignorance and arrogance really showed through.

If you’re unfamiliar with Southeast Asian food culture, do yourself a favor and Google the word “pandan.” You’ll understand exactly what it is.

Good food comes with a willingness to explore and respect cultural differences. Nana Pattaya Express is a gem for those who appreciate authentic flavors and are open to learning along the way.

P.S. The cashier and chef has been nothing but kind, polite and cordial to me. And I don’t even speak Thai. Maybe try to be a decent human being and be nicer to them? They ain’t your servants you know.“
