Review №1

Our first visit from Las Vegas, NV. We thought we d try a new coffee shop. We come to Olympia often to visit our grandson and daughter. We like to try different coffee shops when we visit. Hot Cafe Latte & Americano are strong and delicious so I gave it a 5 star for the coffee only. However, the owner, is not too friendly (I say a 3 star). Tried to make a friendly conversation but I could tell he didnt care much for that. This is a very small coffee shop so no dine-in area.

Delicious coffee everytime. Good pricing and quality beans are used in making great coffee beverages. Fast and friendly service. This low-key local spot is my go to for a good coffee when in downtown Olympia. You wont be disappointed.

If you LOVE coffee, then you NEED to stop here. If you have read any of my other coffee reviews, you know how much a love a good coffee shop. This place was recommended to me by one of our family doctors, and I will continue to stop in whenever I am in town.

They are a special little coffee shop. The location is quiet and enjoyable. They have reasonable prices. They also offer tea and other specialty drinks. There is local artwork and locally made mugs. Go enjoy what a coffee shop should be!

Now that Vita is closed I guess this is the quirky & secret coffee shop for local coffee lovers. Coffee is excellent, seating is not at all. Some locally crafted products like shrubs for sale, worth checking out seasonally.

Nice and gay friendly. In the past we discussed gravitational influences and volcano, earthquake, tidal waves, gay partners behind bars from drinking and fighting and how we could organize grass roots escape Atlantis drills to Colonel Bob, Wynoochee dam safe area on West side of the Olympics. I and worker both had problems keeping partners close.

Good coffee. I didnt like the bike all that much, kind of cramped, not what I expected from the web site.

Review №22

A cozy spot in the heart of downtown, for people that like real coffee. Lots of unique specialty drinks, as well as well-prepared standards, and a broad tea selection to boot. Careful if you go in unsure, as there isnt a menu, but whoever is behind the bar will be happy to help.

The baristas *always* treat me SO well here! Excellent interpersonal skills! This morning we chatted for a good while & Im grateful that todays barista told me: Youre gonna make it. My struggles have been exhausting & it meant so much to me to be able to share experiences and to connect.

Awesome, awesome, awesome coffee prepared by the upper echelon baristas in Olympia. The reason I love it is the simplicity also. No crazy flavors, foo foo drinks, sandwiches, etc. Just coffee and coffee with milk. Our #1 coffee for coffee in the area.

One of the few Coffee establishments in Oly that care deeply about quality. They serve Four Barrel coffee, one of the Bay Areas best. Bravo!

I have yet to have a bad drink, Heather and Michael are amazing baristas. I walked in and said a friend had recommended the place, and asked them to make me something with alt milk. Michael made me a CBC, their Coconut Brown Sugar Cappuccino, with coconut oil and a brown sugar base rich with molasses. It was so good I legitimately teared up. The art they showcase is always compelling too. Matcha latte great as well. Best coffee in Oly.

Had a bad drink once and then I started coming here and it never happened again.A shop tucked away with unmatched service, Mike and the others youll find behind the counter dont disappoint whether youre a seasoned caffeine enthusiast looking for your latest addiction or new to the scene and looking for an easy reason to come back again and again.Looking for a classic? Try a cortado. Sweet? Ask for a coconut brown sugar cappuccino (referred to lovingly as a CBC). Tea? How about an iced matcha blend with passionfruit to combat the heat or a turmeric ginger herbal to take the edge off a brisk day? The list goes on!Grab a drink, a pastry, and a seat. Stay a while.
