Open for take out with a couple tables outside. Nice staff. Very tasty coffee

This is the home of Burial Ground Coffee and Rogue Teas. Both are high quality. Check them out!

So many coffee and tea beverage available. If you have a hard time making decisions, just ask the cashier or barista for recommendation. I got a floral coffee drink with rose and orange, and liked it a lot. It was subtly floral, not too sweet, and I can still taste the coffee. They have some interesting tea and milk tea too!

Getting coffee at Burial Grounds was such a treat! My dear friend brought me there and I was enthralled with this place. Superb coffee, delightful baristas, and the collective is essentially worker owed which tickles my filthy, labor-rights-loving-heart. Solidarity with the service industry and creepy vibes 🖤🖤🖤

Amazing setting, amazing drinks, amazing staff, and absolutely genuine small business coffee house.Prefectly punk af

Fast, courteous service. Great selection, great tasting drink. My double shot iced mocha tasted like a perfect white Russian cocktail. Splendid!

My favorite coffee house -if you can get a seat. The atmosphere is wild. Great coffee too.

This place was recommended to me By Tom from A+ Computers. So I gave them a try. MAGNIFICENT! Very quiet, friendly, cozy and homely, the coffee is better than Starbucks will EVER BE! and at $2.00 a shot, it is the best brewed coffee anywhere in Olympia, that I have had. If you like Good coffee, come here! if you are just looking for a Caffeine high and dont care of the taste ... well ...

I ordered 2 drinks cause they just have so many options! Loved them both. I like that the workers are knowledgeable of the menu, I forgot what one was called and they got it right for me! Recommend this place for good flavor fusions.

Barista really took pride in his craft and the coffee was fantastic

I love coming here for coffee. They have awesome drink names and really unique combos. They also offer free masks (if you forget yours) and even free feminine products. Cant wait until I can sit inside and enjoy my coffee. Go away Covid!

Great coffee shop been in downtown Oly for yrs. Super nice too

Best Coffeeshop Library in Olympia. Got a Root Beer Mocha called Earthseed. New favorite place.

The vibes in this place where amazing and the staff where super sweet and chill. I definitely felt comfortable and at home here. The drink names are hysterical and incredibly good, imaginw your favorite starbucks drink and then imagine it 100 times better. Thats this place. 100/10 yall should go here

It was good. Everyone there is very nice and super accommodating ^_^

Cool place different from other coffee shops great tasting coffee

A grim atmosphere and great coffee, just what you would hope to get from a place called Burial Grounds

Best hemp latte in town, best goth workers co-op coffee shop in the world11/10

Not a lot of food but it is a coffee place. Cool menu options. Its fun to get coffee here and its a nice place to hang out

Theres not much to say about this place except its got the best coffee in town in my opinion nice prices for a great product which they have many of iced or hot most days, joking. Also on a serious note they offer suspended coffees sometimes paid for out of their own paycheck to the houseless community of Olympia. Thank you BG collective for your awesome coffee and your time when we just need to talk.

Fantastic barista staff with great product, and a wonderful community center. Really looking forward to being able to sit in when its fully safe.

Cool artsy coffee shop. If you like creepy, fun, creative, punk, goth novelty places... totally worth checking out.

Over 400 different espresso drinks, as well as tea, tea lattes, fizzies, hot cocoas, steamers, and italian sodas, so there is definitely sometjing to fit any palate. Almost every drink is either vegan by default or can be made vegan, they have vegan pastries and bagels daily, and get vegan donuts on the weekend.A hub of activity for students and activists, with the best stocked coffeeshop library in the South Sound.The staff is focused on that kind of engaged, personally invested, egalitarian service experience that can make Olympia businesses so rewarding to participate in.Primarily run by LGBT folks and about half the staff are people of color, and they have signage specifying this as a Safer Space. They have two specially designed Accessibilty Tables. Condoms and tampons freely available from the county. The staff and the shop are heavily engaged in underhoused advocacy projects.The atmosphere is low-key and relaxed with a skeleton-centric Punky Leftist Gamer Goth aesthetic.

Great little cafe in the downtown area near the Capital Theater for a quick cup of one of their over 500 drinks that they offer.

Always my go to for a cold brew coffee. Staff is awesome and the aesthetic is right up my dark little alley.

Great coffee and library.

My favorite coffee shop! Just about as authentic Olympia as it gets, the staff is wonderful & the drink options are endless & delicious!

Very low key and definitely hang out space, awesome coffee and good people. Despite appearances, they are good people and just like everyone else. Definitely a place to check out if youre here in the city!

Very Olympia-like atmosphere. Gothic theme with skulls and pretty funny menu names. I personally love it, and the drinks are amazing. The baristas are super chill and manage things really well. This is a good place to study if you dont mind background noise.

This place has consistently served fantastic coffee and provided comfortable, nonjudgmental atmosphere for all the years Ive been a patron.

Great late night place to just relax. I brought a book and found a big comfy chair to hang out for a few hours with a couple coffees. No one bugged me, coffee was so yummy (I highly recommend the F*** this S*** a lavendar infused dark chocolate honey drink), I was really surprised to feel that comfy enough outside of my house to actually be able to relax and focus on a book without feeling weird or out of place, bonus that a late night didnt have to be out drinking.

Amazing local coffee digs that really knows how to brew. Really clean with a great atmosphere where you can rock out or read a book, I love their mini library. If you havent been here you need to check it out and support them. The picture was a skull but I had to have my first sip. 😍

I would rather give money to the soulless corporation that is Starbucks than support this local coffee shop with its rude staff. I wish I had a better choice for local coffee.

Very friendly staff and excellent baristas. The coffee here cant be beat. They always have the most creative and delicious drinks to try.

Delicious coffee (Mexican mocha cant be beat), local art, co-op business model, pay it forward fund for those who cant afford a coffee, give & take bins for clothing and such.

Very unique awesome dark/witchy/gothy little coffee shop. If you are offended by curse words or things like that...this may not be the place for you...The coffee was awesome and the music was great. They cater to vegan and non vegans alike. And they are very inclusive of all people.

Super chill coffee shop vibes. Dog friendly. Cool and kind staff.

New location which doesnt have the same feeling as the last location. That was cool... please support this business. Oh- no fake sugar here (bummer) so be aware.

Super local, super liberal, very outside the everyday in terms of the experience and the FLAVORS available. Just what a certain kind of person needs every so often.

Low barrier shop doingnits best to create a chill atmosphere.

I got a decaf chupacabra, spicy and delicious. The barista was friendly, and the atmosphere here is very earthy and cool.

This is my favorite place to go when I want to get a macchiato made the real way and not the crappy Starbucks way.

Best coffee Ive ever had.

Great indie vibes and quality brew.

Today was my first time going into he shop, the cashier is nice and their pumpkin spice late is. Really good too, better then starbucks to be honest

This is an incredible little coffee shop. They have a seemingly endless number of static recipes in the menu, and they always have one or two specials of the day that are even more unique. Add to that the pleasantly quirky ambience and the cemetery theme, and it makes for an original, very Olympian experience.

Favorite Independent Coffee place I have EVER been to. Love this place, coffee is amazing and staff are beyond excellent.

This is my favorite coffee shop that Ive ever been to. The people are nice. The atmosphere is chill. Brendas Brains(Peanut Butter Mocha) and Grave Moss(Mint Mocha) are my favorite drinks. I wish Old School Pizzeria was on the same block.

The coffee was great! But the atmosphere made me feel uncomfortable. When you walked in, there wasnt much of a line to ordering, just a clump of people near the register. The staff were very friendly, but I didnt feel like I could comfortably sit and enjoy my coffee.

I went there because my queer socialist book club meets there. It felt like home as soon as I walked in. The staff made me feel safe and welcome, and the drinks taste and look so good. You can get anything vegan, too.I like the Tell Tale Heart the best! Its rose and caramel and cherry and cinnamon.

Super fun drinks to choose from to match your mood and the season, plus it feels like Halloween every day which is all Ive ever wanted

Great shop with delicious and good quality coffee. The snacks are also very tasty and the prices are affordable. The staff is friendly and quick with their service.

I love Burial Grounds Coffee Collective! Im so happy it is now worker owned. My biggest hope for them is that they survive this covid crisis. Great coffee and atmosphere. Cant wait to dine-in there again!

Not Your Local Starbucks Because They Serve Street People, And As A Matter Of Fact They Serve Everybody. They Call It Being Inclusive; The Way Of The Future. Prices Are The Same MAybe A Little Less Than Other Coffee Shops. Great Lebanese Flag On Wall! Thanks For Great Service & Good Coffee!

A coffee shop with an unmistakable personality. Defined by its rebellious nature, this very friendly coffee shop is a great spot to have a latte and discuss politics, play a board game, read a local student paper, or plan a wildcat strike with your coworkers. Very friendly staff. Awesome latte art!

Best coffee shop in Oly

This place reminds me of voodoo-oriented spots in New Orleans, mixed with a uniquely Pacific Northwest punk vibe. They advertise some gloriously complicated coffee drinks, and even though I was a tad wary (coffee with raspberry, red velvet, and cinnamon?) mine turned out amazing. A treat for your inner—or outer—goth.

Delicious, inventive drinks in a beautifully decorated space.

Wanted to like this place so I tried it 3 separate times but the drinks are just ✨bad✨

YES very good very edgy. they sell little skull earrings and other jewelry and prints and stuff by indie artists and they have comics and poems and cool art mod-podged onto their tables. their coffee quality varies a little from good coffee to VERY good coffee. lots of different types of people here. a needlepoint with a bumblebee on it says please dont do drugs in our bathroom. Ive seen some wild interactions here and sometimes I think perhaps Burial Grounds is not quite real life but I think that improves it. its my favorite coffee shop.

A very unique coffee shop with voodoo vibes. Amazing coffee, with a discounted refill. Really friendly staff. Easy to find parking. Very progressive and supportive of the lgbt. A great book selection and a lot of comfy places to sit and read. Great for a rainy morning.

Wonderful people and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I love coming here. Personal favorite order is the living death with a shot of marshmallow in it. Keep up the great work you guys!

This place is neat. Polar opposite of Starbucks atmosphere, but thats what I like. They do are in the lattes here, which my family thought amazing and I had a standard cup of drip coffee which was better than some of the pour overs I have had. When I come back to Olympia I will definitely return here. Families be warned however, there were condoms available on the counter. If youre a teen this is great. If you have kids already and are looking for a cup of joe, not so much.

Strong, carefully crafted coffee. Try the Mayan mocha. Not usually fan of mochas but this one is unique, spicy take (they ask you how many stars you want when you order, 1-5). Great bohemian vibe, lots of artwork and a unique feel. Highly recommend.

The best coffeehouse in Olympia, the CSC offered right now is the freshest roasted beans Ive ever had and the tea is phenomenal.

If you want to get in touch with the local area this is a perfect pit stop. The coffee and other beverages are top notch. They support the LGBTQ community and local artists. A true gem in Olympia.

Burial Grounds is a great place for a late night coffee. They have excellent coffee and are open late, for a coffee shop. They do cater to a very specific clientele, its very goth and eclectic with mismatched tables and chairs. The decor is very texture-heavy and favors dark colors, and they have a small space so it feels kind of dirty and cramped. Not my kind of place so it lost a few stars. But like I said they have great coffee!

Workers truly take pride in their drinks. They love a good challenge and put art and flair into their drinks. Atmosphere is nice for hanging out or doing homework. They also have a game and book library which is a nice addition. Just be respectful and theyll afford you the same courtesy. State employees get discounts.

Good coffee amazing tea, some of the best drinks Ive had in a long time. The atmosphere is calm peaceful inviting and the art on the walls is Simply Amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good cup of coffee or tea, or any other kind of coffee or tea drink. I also recommend this place for people who need a calmer place to have coffee than the hustle and bustle of your average Starbucks.

They always try to make my drinks right which I appreciate. The Morticia makes me feel like a boss woman no matter if Im in dark clothes or flowers. Its just got that kind of way.

The coffee is great but the place and employees are so unwelcoming and rude that I almost never go there and often encourage others to not go there. I dont even expect staff to be overtly kind, I just dont want to feel like every employee hates me for buying coffee at their shop that exists to sell coffee. Also, the seating is very cluttered in a way that makes it hard to find a good place to sit, and theres very limited plug ins so I dont recommend it as a study spot. Another messed up thing is theyre very activist and claim to be supportive of homeless people, yet you need a key to use their bathrooms, which are also almost never clean. Seems pretty hypocritical and anti homeless to me.

Amazing coffee and tea, Burial Grounds has lots of strange but delicious drinks.

Coffe is usually pretty great. Staff is always friendly. Cool place to meet a friend or have a coffee date

Very unique tea house. Original artwork lines the walls and is up for sale by local artists. Small library on one side makes for a perfect fit with your morning drink

Our local Green Party chapter meets here. Its an accessible and safe place for people from diverse economic, gender, and racialized experiences. Looking forward to using the attached yoga and meeting space!I had the best vegan chai Ive ever had.

Burial grounds is every stereotype about olympia you could think of. The inside has a welcoming atmosphere, and the art thats displayed is so unique. The staff are always incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and fun. I always get the Batista Surprise when I go in, and let me tell you, I have NEVER been disappointed.

Always enjoy the environment in all stories of past and present and living room for improvement trying new ideas and drama stays outside very mellow inside enjoy the staffing past and present and very understanding of different people types and helpful

I’ve been going to Burial Grounds for about a year now, and it is by far one of my favorite places to get coffee in downtown Olympia! all the coffees are so unique and delicious (my personal favorite is the Chupacabra) and it’s just a really lovely place to hang out and drink great coffee!

Had the best caramel latte I’ve ever had! The gentleman working was super friendly and welcoming. So glad to have stumbled across this place while walking around Olympia!

4 stars because it just seemed to work better at the other location, the atmosphere is a bit different, but employees are still awesome. Absolutely best coffee in town.

Burial Grounds is not your average coffee shop. If youre looking for a simple latte or mocha, go somewhere else. Burial Grounds has the widest selection of flavors that I have ever seen in a cafe, and their large menu of different concoctions is so much fun (and delicious) to peruse. In addition to their standard menu items, theyre constantly mixing it up with new seasonal specials that sometimes make it onto the main menu if popular enough. They also have the largest variety of alternative milks I have ever seen, with soy, rice, almond, hemp, and coconut milks all offered in addition to plain cows. The atmosphere is very Olympia. The cafe is filled with mismatched couches and chairs, tables plastered with comics and excerpts from Lord of the Rings, and art both permanent and featured. They have an impressive library, and a computer for patrons to use. The baristas have the punk attitude: be nice to them and theyll be somewhat nice to you. I dont mind the colder customer service, although if youre used to being catered to by subservient wage slaves then this is DEFINITELY not the coffee shop for you. All in all, Burial Grounds is a landmark of Olympia, with a very 90s grunge attitude towards delicious flavored drinks. If youre looking for a cool place to meet, or if youre looking to expand your flavor palate, I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Best coffee shop ever! So many unique choices. Absolutely love everything!

Great and creative drinksCool staff. Interesting vibe. Cool community space. Safe space for all types of people

Coffee is weak and the coffee shop smells more like the locals than it does of coffee. Hope that’s your thing. Staff is Oly Aloof ...better than you because ..I’m not sure why really. Seems to be the attitude of anyone who works in a coffee shop. Get a real job. Shop could use a cleaning and so could the people that work here. Lots of skull decorations. For super goths and people into embracing their depression and sitting on their cactus. Not so much for people into the bright side of life. Try not to smile if you go here, you’ll ruin the vibe.

I started coming here as a homeless lonely post-Greener and now, because of Burial Grounds, I am a small business owner with a cute house, engaged to the man of my dreams.Individual results may vary.

This coffee shop is horrible I went there to get some coffee with a friend and their coffee is gross the don’t know how to make what you order I ordered a hot mocha and it tasted like black coffee with a tiny bit of cream no sweetness at all I would not recommend

Just stopped by for my lunch (yes at 11pm I work graveyard) the website says they are open till midnight.. nope they were there but said they were closed.... way to ruin my short lunch break. Update your website. Dont think I will waste my time again even though the coffee is good you cant trust the website. By the way its bad customer service to stand there telling me your closed and that your website lies. Just make me a freaking coffee. Very poor customer service.

Great local coffees and teas! Excellent variety of drinks, Ive tried something new each time Ive been, and theyve all been excellent. Cool and creepy atmosphere and awesome staff. All around a fantastic place. Favorite cafe in Olympia!

Great coffee, but not very clean. It was great to catch up with an old friend there, but I think we will pick another spot next time.

Great place to get coffee with a date, or friends or whatever. Very welcoming environment with respectful staff

Good coffee, chill vibes

Went here with the family for my birthday treat- excellent coffee with nifty names. The general vibe of the place is pretty rad and the art decor is neat (probably done by locals). I also thought their library selection was a nice touch

Good prices and amazing drinks. They are supper accommodating since I am lactose intolerant. They also have gluten free options. I have loved everything I get here.

I love the vegan hot chocolate!!A great treat on a chilly morning 😉

It has an earthy vibe to it, that really embodies the Oly persona. The quality of the tea is good however general cleanliness of the establishment could drastically improve. Our table was dirty/sticky and the room had a musty smell that made our experience not as great as it could have been.

Funky and cool coffee shop. Everyone said this was the best place to get coffee! Very low key atmosphere. Worth trying out.

Their coffee is A1. I got the Black Orpheus, but they also let me say the name of a particular coffee really loud (youll see it when you go in).

Good Cappuccino, great place and staff

I came by on a road trip and really want to come back. the baristas were really nice and creative, and the drinks were some of the most creative Ive ever seen. I regret not buying more for the road, especially the lapsang souchong infusions. I really appreciated the clear connections at the coffee shop has with the community and with the queer affirming drinks, zines, and art.

They took my purse from me when I went to use the bathroom - guess it is a heroin addicts hangout - but then was asked if I wanted a state worker discount - which was irksome because I own my own biz here and get o discounts from dese folk, so no more of this nonsense for me. Sides, I dont like coffee nohow!
