The chicken adobo bowl was amazing! I want to return to try the other bowls they had because this one was great! I didn't like how they fill the bowl to the rim because as soon as I mixed it up so much fell out. I prefer when they just use a bigger bowl. It was a bit pricey, but maybe that's normal for downtown Olympia.

They had a variety of items from cookies to croissants to bread. I ordered: Ham and cheese croissant - standard Brioche roll - decent Croissant fritter - the highlight of this bakery - it is soooo good. Flakey, pull apart, flavorful. Price was reasonable as well. There was only one person working so that's probably why it takes some time. It looks like they have a restaurant here as well and I heard it gets crowded too. If I'm in the area, I might come back to try their other stuff.

We happened to come across Arepas, which I was actually looking to try out. Thank goodness we found it!! The food was so yummy!! My favorite was the Puerco aka roasted pork arepa. It was really flavorful with different layers of texture starting from the pork, purple cabbage, tomato and the arepa. The shredded beef was packed full of meat and cheese. They did not skimp. The yucca fries and garlic butter/dipping oil was rich and delish. Sweet plantains are my faborito!! The young lady taking my order recommended the cute dessert to finish the meal and it was delish. My recommendation, this is a MUST TRY!!

I have visited here and it was my go to for myself and visitors since moving to Olympia and always…read morehad a wonderful experience ... until yesterday. I gave a 5 star rating a year ago although visited several times since then. I can't figure out what happened. Did the chef (s) move on, or pass away and a crew from a local fast food restaurant was hired as a replacement? I ordered the meal with filet, crab leg, lobster (portion?) with baked potato and Death by Peaches for dessert. I have had crab legs here before. This had been boiled until there was no flavor, and very ittle meat. And that was the selling point for me. The lomaster was fine but the sauce wasn't hollandaise as the bartender said. A watery, mustardy sauce. Not terrible but not very good either. Ordered filet medium, came well done. I took it home hoping to add to chili but too tough to eat. Took the baked potato home to save room for dessert and it was good. The real slap in the face was the dessert. I have ordered Death by peaches over and over and was never disappointed. What arrived was a heavy, dry, dense cake without much flavor, some peaches and a small scoop of ice cream. It needed a lot of ice cream or peaches to get through it. I left most of it. I don't mind splurging and I have without complaint but this was such a a disappointment. Most of the patrons were older and I had to wonder if management feels their expectations are lower? I will close by stating that wait staff and bartenders are top notch. Including Isiah from yesterday. Above and beyond even with a busy crowd. Never a complaint about the service. You are no longer my go to restaurant that I can depend on. Oh, had two drinks that were fine but the wine list is meh.

It has been awhile since I have been in, it is good to see the place was busy. The area is a good place on Pacific and right across from a busy shopping center.

Their coffee, though, I love. It's probably standard Folgers or something but it's perfect every time. The store is always immaculately clean and the service is always super friendly. It's not really an eat-in establishment, but there is a counter at the window if you need to tear into your maple bar right away.

I have been attending the Lacey Spring Fun Fair since 1987. It's a fun FREE kid oriented festival…read morelocated at Saint Martins University. There are so many things to do! There are activities, arts and crafts, photo opportunities, bouncy houses and more! Activities are located outside in the parking lot outside the Marcus Pavilion and inside the Pavilion itself. The Marcus Pavilion was filled to the brim with educational booths and art/craft booths. My daughter and I attempted to try all of them, but it was so jam-packed we were only able to visit half. We ended up spending most of the time outside. She had a great time in a bouncy house and learning about the Fire Truck. There is a stage where performing groups ranging from elementary schoolers to senior groups showed off their stuff. I performed for the Fun Fair when I was in high school. Everyone did a great job. The only time I worried was for a brief second when elementary-aged kids were singing the normally inappropriate/sexual innuendo ridden song Greased Lightning. It turned out it was the kid friendly version. Phew. Wondering if there are food booths available? Of course! In addition to various activities there are food booths selling traditional fair food. Saint Martins, of course, has one. It was SO HOT last year I parked myself near the Saint Martins booth so I could get water and extra ice. My kid ate her weight in burgers, elephant ears, and snowcones. We would have stayed for the parade had I known there was one. The parade is on the second day and closes the event. I will definitely be sure to see it this time! The Lacey Spring Fair is AMAZING. Definitely try to go on both days, if you are able! The Lacey Spring Fun Fair 2013 will be on May 18 - 19. The parade starts at 6 pm on Sunday the 19th.

Martin Way Diner did not disappoint! We popped in for…read morebreakfast, and although the diner was busy, we did not have to wait to be seated. This was our first time at Martin Way Diner. When we first walked in, it felt like a classic diner. And it is! In all the good ways. The diner is clean, the coffee is hot and flavorful, and the portions are generous. My husband had the Build Your Own omelet, topped with Jack Cheese. And they did not skimp on the ingredients. The cheese was nice and gooey, and the flavors melded perfectly. I had the French Toast. Again, generous portions, and the slices were thick and perfectly battered. Not soggy, slightly crisp. And the syrup was warmed! Sometimes it is the little things. The bacon was crisp, just how I had ordered it, not limp, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Our server was Shawna, and she was personable and perfectly attentive. We were seated where we could observe the cooks, and they functioned like a well-oiled machine. All in all it was a good experience, and I would highly recommend. An added bonus: there are glass partitions between the booths. It really helps keep the noise level down. This was much appreciated and I wish more restaurants would do this. The next time we are at this end of town, we will be back.
